Zongman: Only My Hero Game

Before I knew it, several months had passed.

But Hojo finally reached Mesopotamia...

When Hojo set foot on the land of Mesopotamia again, what he saw was a desert formed of sand and stone.

Only a little bit of the coast is green.

This scene reminded Hojo a lot.

He still remembers.

Back then, he was rescued by Lugal on such a sandy desert.

And then all the stories that follow...

After taking a breath, Hojo walked towards the direction of Uruk in his memory alone.

So in this world where there is only desert, there is an extra traveler walking alone.

Hojo walked step by step towards the kingdom in his memory.

Behind him, there are a series of footprints left behind.

Those former friends, he couldn't judge whether they were still on this land.

More than 1000 years are enough to kill everything.

Hojo also asked about the collection.

But the book cannot give an answer.

It is also because of this that Hojo decided to personally search for the traces of the past...

After a few days of trekking.

Hojo came to the area where Uruk was in his memory.

It's just that everything has changed.

The former kingdom has been replaced by a new one.

It was a country named Elek.

Its level of prosperity is comparable to that of Uruk once.

Hojo has been walking in this country for a while as a traveler.

After seeing those people who lived and worked in peace and contentment, he couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

Thousands of years have passed, and everything is changing.

But when he looked at the smiling faces in front of him, he felt that nothing had changed...

He heard of a place while walking——

Tomb of the Wise King.

According to the people of Elek, it was the tomb of an ancient king.

It is said that the king once made great achievements, but because of the passage of time, it is no longer possible to know the specific identity and deeds of the other party.

This is a very normal thing in this day and age.

After all, in this era, there are not so many media that can record information for a long time.

But according to the people of Elek, the tomb of the wise king possesses a magical power.

If there is a disaster, just go there and worship the other party devoutly, and it will get better.

So it is.

This place is revered by many people.

They believed that it must be the power of that virtuous king...

After Hojo heard these legends, he had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure.

Then he went to the so-called tomb of the virtuous king.

And as he got closer, his sense of sight became stronger and stronger.

The location of the tomb of the virtuous king...

Isn't it the place where Hojo appeared when he entered the hero test for the first time...

At that time, the people of Uruk called that area the Valley of Death.

Because no one who entered it could come out alive.

Hojo still remembered the scene of the Valley of Death back then, it was a land made up of endless gravel, without any vitality.

But the land right now is full of vitality.

There are dark green trees, clear spring water, and wandering small animals...

Where is this still the Valley of Death?

It's an oasis of life....

And in the center of this oasis, a building made of solid stone stands.

Its shape...it is the tomb hall of the king of Uruk after his death...

In front of the tomb, there is still a group of people kneeling and worshiping...

Seeing this, Hojo couldn't help but sigh.

He already probably knows whose tomb the Tomb of the Worthy King belongs to...

Maybe his initial guess was right...

Hojo walked to the tomb of the wise king.

Its entrance was sealed by an invisible magic rune, but Hojo saw at a glance that the rune was written by Shu Ya...

This is a magic formation compatible with defensive attack and communication.

If someone tries to forcibly break into this tomb, in addition to triggering a counterattack, the owner of the magic formation will be notified...

Hojo used magic to make the people around him ignore him, and then he quietly passed through the entrance and entered the interior of the tomb.

No movement was caused.

After entering from the entrance, there is a staircase leading to the ground.

Hojo waved his hand, and the stairs were filled with light.

He walked down the stairs step by step.

On the way, he was looking at the murals on the walls on both sides of the stairs.

It depicts the achievements of a king.

He transformed Uruk, founded the Academy of Magic, and then learned deeper magic from the gods.

　403 He defeated the bull of the sky, insulted the gods, and finally slaughtered the gods who harmed mankind with his own hands.

These murals made Hojo's heart more peaceful.

In the inner tomb, however, there were no traces of magic.

When he reached the bottom of the ladder.

Standing in front of him is a stone tablet.

The stele was written in cuneiform script:

【The greatest virtuous king in human history is buried here. His achievements are innumerable. This is the place where he started and where he rests. Anyone who sees this monument, please bow your head and salute it . 】

And in the lower right corner of the stele is the person who wrote the inscription——

[Disciple of the virtuous king——Shu Ya]

Hojo stretched out his hand and gently stroked the monument.

He sighed softly and then walked to the edge of the coffin behind the monument.

He raised his hand slightly.

The coffin was slowly opened.

And the things inside are also displayed in front of Hojo...

...

Today's fifth update!

After thinking about it, I suppressed the little days a little more, so don't be upset like before.

The odds have been calculated, no matter which side wins, I will win!

I am the biggest winner!

Ask for flowers, ask for votes! .

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

What was in that coffin was nothing but white clothes.

And beside the white clothes.

But there are a few clay tablets, a silk scarf with divine light, a crown inlaid with gold and precious stones, a jade bracelet, and a gold accessory.

Other than that, nothing else.

Hojo saw what those things were at a glance.

That silk scarf belongs to Ai Lei.

That crown was once worn by Hojo.

The emerald bracelet belonged to Siduri.

That gold accessory is Ishtar's.

Hojo silently picked up the clay tablet with words engraved on it, and he quietly looked at the content recorded on it, his face could not help being absent-minded and disappointed.

The first clay tablet, that of Gilgamesh:

[Hojo, my best friend, it has been 30 years since you disappeared, people have already said that you are dead, but this king does not believe it, this king believes that you have left this world, but you have not died. 】

[But no matter what, it seems that you will not appear again at the moment. It is really a helpless fate. My best friends have left my side one by one. Perhaps fate is jealous of me. 】

[Since you left, Uruk's follow-up development has been very good according to your previous deployment. Both Siduri and Shuya are very talented, but they are still far behind you. I really miss you. day. 】

【I have come to the end of my life now, and maybe I will die completely in a few years, but I have thought about it recently, the merits of my life are enough to pass on my name to future generations, At last nothing will remain in my hand when it is all over, and that will be enough. 】

【It's just that, it would be great if I could see you again. 】

The second tablet, Siduri's:

[Hojo, I don’t know where you are now. Jill said that you didn’t die, and Master Ereshkigal also said that the underworld doesn’t have your soul, so I also believe that you didn’t die. unreachable places. 】

[Thirty years have passed, and Uruk has undergone a lot of changes. It's a pity that you can't see it with your own eyes. It's a pity that all these changes depend on you. 】

【I'm already very old. Lord Ishtar tried to give me a blessing before, but I refused. If I can live for a long time because of the blessing, it would be very good, but I don't like it. 】

[I should die too, maybe I can see you after I die. 】

The third clay tablet is Ai Lei's:

[Hojo, I miss you very much. Today is the day for your funeral. Although we all believe that you are not dead, we still hold this funeral. I hope you will not be angry if you know, but I think you shouldn’t either angry. 】

[Hojo, where are you?I tried to trace your traces, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I really want to see you again. There are still many things we haven't done between us. 】

[After your funeral is over, I will continue to search for you. I don’t know when I will give up, but what I can be sure of is that I will love you forever. 】

[It's a pity that we didn't even hold a wedding, but I should be your wife. 】

[Hojo, we will definitely meet again. 】

[I love you, my husband. 】

The fourth clay tablet is that of Ishtar:

[Hojo, you bastard, where did you go, don't disappear after finishing everything!A lot of people here are thinking about you, do you guys even know? ! 】
