Goddess will bless Uruk

Ishtar seemed to be hesitant and said embarrassingly.

"Sister Ishtar, you can't fool me!"

Sally Yeh said with a cheeky smile.

"Well——! That's it!" Ishtar said as if giving up on himself, then turned around to look at Sally, and continued

"Although Mount Abbey, as the sacred peak revered by the gods, can indeed demonstrate the majesty of the goddess, but this goddess is not something that ordinary people can see casually, so I chose the temple here. "

"I really can't hide anything from you, Sally." Ishtar said helplessly

"Of course!" Sally said with a smile

"Come on, it's not good to stand here, come here to sit down, there is everything you need, whether it's food or wine." Ishtar said

"Well, let's go over there and sit down, so we sisters can get together."

Sariye said and followed Ishtar.

.

At this moment, in the distant forest.

Gilgamesh looked at Humbaba who was covered in wounds and knelt down begging for mercy.

Then with a wave of his right hand, the swords, guns, swords and halberds protruding from dozens of golden gates behind him retracted. The golden ripples all turned into golden particles and disappeared in the air with the fluctuation of magic power. The swords and guns stuck on the ground It also disappeared.

"Jill, fighting like you is really a great waste."

"No matter which weapon it is, it should have its own value. I told you before."

After watching the battle between his best friend Gilgamesh and Humbaba, Enkidu couldn't help but think of the battle with himself back then, and he also looked like he didn't understand the value of weapons at all.

"No, of course the king heard what my best friend said."

"It's just that most of the treasures in this king's treasury don't even know what they do."

"It's too troublesome to use, it's just more convenient." Gilgamesh said after hearing Enkidu's words.

Then, looking at Humbaba who begged for mercy in front of him, he said

"Since this is the case, I forgive you for your disrespect in challenging me rashly."

"From now on, you will be around Uruk and protect all the subjects of Uruk as your own treasure."

"If you do well, this king will reward you, Divine Beast Humbaba."

After finishing speaking, Humbaba let out a low cry, and then walked in front of Enkidu, as if expressing something.

Seeing this, Enkidu put his hand under Humbaba's head, felt it for a while, and said

"Jill, Humbaba said that it will hand over the treasures it has collected for many years to Uruk for safekeeping."

"Huh? It's interesting, it's just a mere mythical beast, yet it knows how to collect treasures."

"Very well, for the sake of your kindness, I will leave [-]% of the treasure to you, the beast of Uruk." Gilgamesh was very emotional after hearing Enkidu's answer. Said happily.

.

In the distance, in a temple on the towering Mount Abif.

"Ishtar sister has always eaten such offerings directly?"

Seeing the dazzling array of fruits, vegetables, wine and delicacies in front of her eyes, Sally could not help asking

"Eh?"

"Don't Sariye like such things?" Ishtar asked

"No, it's not that I don't like it."

"It's just that eating such offerings all the time, in a way, it's not as interesting as making it yourself." Sally said

"self-made?"

"...Ahaha, of course I have eaten. As a goddess, how can I know nothing about cooking, and I can't cook." Ishtar said hurriedly when she heard Sally Yeh's inquiry.

"Hehe." Sally covered her mouth and squinted with a smile, everything was at ease.

"Eh——!!!" Ishtar sighed in panic.

"Whether sister Ishtar can cook or not, please let sister Ishtar have a taste of my cooking today."

"Does Sariye still have these?" Ishtar asked

"Of course, I'm not a tourist on days like this in Uruk."

"I learned these things from Siduri. The high priest still knows a lot."

"Really? If that's the case, I'll have a good taste of Sariye's craftsmanship." Ishtar said

"Don't worry, the offerings in this temple really have all kinds of ingredients."

Sally looked at all kinds of offerings, whether it was fresh beef and mutton or vegetables and fruits, there were all kinds of them, and there were even some extremely rare ingredients, which were too numerous to count.I can't help but sigh with emotion, Sister Ishtar is indeed the urban goddess of Uruk...

.

At this time, Gilgamesh and Enkidu are already on their way back.

The divine beast Humbaba followed behind the two of them. At this time, after Gilgamesh generously took out a bottle of wound medicine, its wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It can be seen that Gilgamesh is in a very good mood at this time. Not to mention a rare adventure with his best friend, he also harvested a large amount of treasure, not only that, but also successfully conquered Humbaba.

Gilgamesh turned his head, looked at Humbaba, and noticed the garland of flowers on Humbaba's head.

He remembered that before the battle, Humbaba took it off on purpose, and now he put it on again.

Enkidu also noticed Gilgamesh's gaze, looked at the garland woven from the flowers he had planted himself, and said

"What does Jill think of this wreath?"

"You can tell me now."

"Such a string of ornaments will please the innocent soul." Gilgamesh looked at the garland and replied like this, and then said

"That guy, Sally, has really good eyesight."

"Yeah, it must have been when Sally Yeh saw this wreath."

"I must have felt the joy in my heart."

"That's why you asked us to subdue it and become the guardians of all the people in Uruk."

Hearing the words of his best friend Enkidu, Gilgamesh also thought

"So, what were you thinking about then? Sally."

Gilgamesh looked in the direction of Uruk city in the distance, thinking like this.

.

Here, in the realm of the gods above the distant sky.

A woman walks into an empty temple.

Looking at the statue standing in front of you, go forward, kneel down and pray

"Rest in peace, my brother. May your soul in the underworld be saved."

"Look, all the subjects under your protection are also happy, feeling the gift of the god of shepherd, and feeling your greatness."

After speaking, magic power appeared in front of the woman, and the magic power formed a mirror-like picture, which reflected the city of Uruk below and the surrounding plains.

The woman looked at the picture in front of her, smiled and said

"That's right, all the subjects are feeling the gift of the grassland every moment, feeling..."

The smile on the woman's face gradually disappeared.

"Is that... Humbaba?"

"The murderer who made you leave me forever?"

"Shouldn't the king of Uruk hate it? Then kill it to avenge you?"

"..."

"Become... the guardian beast?"

"Impossible, how could it be?"

"how come……?"

"Is this the subject I have been guarding all this time?"

"What are you kidding?"

The woman looked at the picture in front, which reflected the figures of Gilgamesh, Enkidu and his party, as well as the beast Humbaba following behind, and heard the words of Gilgamesh and his party.

The woman knelt in front of the shrine of the God of Faun Dumuzi, and said with a trembling voice...

ps: Everyone, happy Lantern Festival! ! !

Chapter 21 021 The Invitation of the Nile

"Ah~, I'm so full."

"Sally Yeh, your craftsmanship is amazing!"

Ishtar lay on his back on the floor of the temple, saying without any image at all.

There is a pot and various bowls and dishes on the ground in front of it. In the pot, the dark red soup is overflowing with aroma, and all kinds of condiments are available. Floating star anise, Chinese prickly ash, and dried chilies are surrounded by aromas, revealing a pungent spicy taste.

"Why didn't I see Sariye cook such delicious food when I was in God's Domain?" Ishtar asked.

"When I was there, it was because I was still young."

"Besides, my older brothers wouldn't let me do this. At that time, although I could cook, it was far from what I am now."

Sally sat on the ground, and took off the white robe she put on outside, revealing her exquisite collarbone and smooth back, and the string of bone jade gem pendants around her neck gleamed under the night light from the temple.

"By the way, does this dish have a name?" Ishtar couldn't help asking

"name?"

"There is no name, you can just call it hot pot." Sally Yeh replied after thinking for a while

"It's also thanks to the abundance of ingredients here, whether it's beef and mutton, or all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and all kinds of miscellaneous offerings, there is really no shortage of anything."

"Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to make such a delicious hot pot." Sally Yeh said

"Hey, of course, the most indispensable thing in the temple of this goddess is offerings."

Ishtar stood up, with his arms akimbo, raised his chin, and said with great joy

"Yes, sister Ishtar is a goddess of harvest!"

As Sally Yeh said, she also stood up, and the robe that was untied on the ground turned into particles of light and disappeared.Afterwards, Sally turned around and walked out of the hall.

At this time, it was already evening outside the hall, and it had been a long time since Sally put down her political affairs and went to Mount Ebifu to prepare such a dinner until the end of the meal.

Sariye looked down from the cliff on Mount Ebifu down to the plain below and the brightly lit Uruk city in the center of the plain.

At this time, Sariye noticed a huge figure, which was located outside the city of Uruk, and it was the mythical beast Humbaba.

"It seems that Gilgamesh and Enkidu have successfully completed their mission and returned." Sariye said

"Fumbaba, as compensation for my plot against you, I will compensate you by giving you a second life who should have been killed."

"As long as you still guard the city of Uruk, you will be able to enjoy the gift of this land forever." Sally Yeh looked at Humbaba resting on the grassland outside the city of Uruk, and said in a low voice.

"Sariye, what did you just say?" Ishtar also came over and asked at this time

Sally paused for a moment, then said

"It's nothing, I'm just feeling something."

"Gilgamesh and Enkidu teamed up and successfully subdued Humbaba. It seems that guy is still useful." Ishtar said

Afterwards, Ishtar turned his head, looked at Sally Yeh's dress, and said
