Rubbish protagonist, I can do it too!

Siduri, the chief priest, was puzzled: "My lord, why are you laughing?"

"Humph."

"Chief Priest Siduri, this is not a question that the king needs to answer, but... it is a very suitable topic for you. Take it and study the report on this clay tablet. With your intelligence, you will soon find this question. The reason why the king laughed, and then you know how cold-blooded and cruel the magician you praised in front of you is."

Regarding King Gilgamesh's evaluation, Hall shrugged. He had faced the same problem in the world of "No Game, No Life", what should be done in the natural way.

"Is it a subject..." Siduri took the clay tablet with both hands.

"Magician Hall, I see your contribution to Uruk. In the past two months, the achievements you have accumulated are worth two-thirds of the Holy Grail. The remaining one-third is Use the last mission to offset it.”

"The last mission." Hall's face was serious.

King Gilgamesh nodded and said: "To be precise, it is the last task plus half a year. As long as you wait half a year after completing this task, this king will give you the Holy Grail. Maybe it won't take half a year. When you use the Holy Grail, it will appear in your hand, and now Uruk cannot leave the Holy Grail for the time being, please forgive me."

Next to it, Siduri wondered if there was something wrong with her ears, and the hero king Gilgamesh actually said the word please.

Hole nodded silently, agreeing with King Gilgamesh's statement. With his character, it is basically impossible to violate the agreement, and he will not talk empty words.

"You can complete the final mission whenever you want. This king retains your status as an investigator of Uruk. It is up to you whether you want to rest or do anything next."

"I'm used to finishing work and resting."

"Siduri, give him that tablet."

"As ordered."

Siduri walked down and handed another clay tablet in her arms to Hall.

Hall glanced at the task content recorded in cuneiform characters above.

Coosa

Recently, there has been less and less communication between Kuza City and Uruk. King Gilgamesh, who noticed the abnormality, sent Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Fuma Kotaro to investigate, but they all disappeared.

These two unlucky ones still couldn't escape the confinement of the world line.

The task requires to find out the anomaly in Kusa City.

Hall couldn't help but laugh. What's the difference between this mission and giving it to him for free? Hall could even announce the completion of the mission in person and inform him that Kuza City has become the territory of the underworld.

It's just that it's too abrupt and unconvincing.

After leaving the Uruk palace and returning to the dormitory, Hall used the ancient mirror of the underworld to contact Ereshkigal and asked Amakusa Shiro about the whereabouts of Tokisada and Fuma Kotaro.

In the mirror, Ereshkigal happily replied: "Ah~ King Gilgamesh's subordinates, they are quite powerful, but they are too confident. They dared to stay until the night when they broke into the city of Kusa. Now they are being held in a special prison. In the gun prison, because it is a rare item, even if you want to go back, it is impossible."

The goddess of the underworld is dressed in black, dignified and gorgeous. After what happened last time, she has to contact Hall through the ancient mirror of the underworld before possessing Ishtar's body.

"The mission King Gilgamesh gave me did not mean to rescue them. The mission required me to investigate the city of Kusa."

Ereshkigal said strangely: "Aren't you very clear about the situation in Kusa City? Just tell King Gilgamesh that this place has become the territory of the underworld, so that no one will come to this city in the future." Bar."

"It always feels a little too boring to do it so easily."

Hearing this, Ereshkigal looked gloomy and said to himself in frustration: "Yes, the so-called underworld is the place where the dead live. There is nothing, let alone interesting."

The world where the dead live...

Hall remembered a bold idea he had before, with a subtle smile on his face.

Chapter 413 Soul of Darkness

"Ai Lei, how about we play a game? Well...it should be a creative game. You are very interested in interesting adventure stories."

"That's right, creating games? Playing chess or something."

In the Uruk era when there was little entertainment, or no entertainment at all, board games with simple rules can be addictive.

Hall said with a meaningful chuckle: "It's not that simple. The type of game is role-playing, and I've already thought of the name. It's called "Dark Souls."

"Roleplaying... I'm sorry I don't understand it very well, Dark Souls? What a strange name, how to do it specifically."

"I will go to Kusa City tomorrow night, let's talk after we meet."

"Are you going to the underworld? Really!" Ereshkigal was pleasantly surprised.

It is almost time to complete the bet with Ereshkigal, proving that she does not like dead humans, but humans who will die one day.

Hall closed the ancient mirror of the underworld, thinking about how to implement his bold idea.

Underworld, is there a more luxurious and practical "game engine" than this in the world?Coupled with the power of the goddess of the underworld, it is easy to create a live-action version of "Dark Soul".

Ereshkigal believes that human beings have grown up so fast that they have not yet learned how to accept the world. For humans, the existence of gods is indispensable.

Only by blaming God for all injustice can human beings accept reality.

In other words, it is almost the mentality of parents who worry about their children leaving home.

Around this theme, from the foundation to the concept, to the background, "Dark Soul" is the most suitable, just need to change the background board a little.

For example, it is assumed that the goddess of the underworld disappears, and a series of cruel backgrounds are set up to test human nature, and whether it is as Ereshkigal said that human beings cannot leave the gods and accept reality.

As for the "player", Fujimaru Tachika, who will come to this world in a few months, will do his part.

By the way, complete the mission issued by Gilgamesh to explore the city of Kusa.

And there is...

Hall stretched out his right hand, and an ancient bell fell into his hand. It was a prop obtained from the first generation Hassan at the sixth singularity.

It just happens to come in handy, and if you don't use it, there will be no place to use it.

······

At night, the dormitory gradually became lively. The servants summoned by King Gilgamesh came back to rest, and Merlin was there, so the atmosphere could not be quiet.

Hall inevitably introduced Anna to everyone, while Tiamat used the term "familiar" to mention it.

Of course, the identities of the two were not revealed.

It wasn't Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Fuma Kotaro who were on duty at night today. They didn't show up in the dormitory tavern. Everyone didn't worry too much. Human rights were at stake. It wasn't surprising that any of the summoned servants suddenly left the stage.

That is, instead of worrying about others, it is better to be loyal and enjoy the present.

This is probably also the current situation in Uruk. The ordinary people who were told by the king that human beings will be destroyed in half a year are also struggling to live.

In the tavern on the first floor of the dormitory, Hall, Olga Marie, Merlin, a group of followers, Dr. Roman from Chaldea and others gathered.

Ushiwakamaru was drinking, his brows and eyes were red, and he was slightly drunk: "Obviously two servants have disappeared in Kuza City, but King Gilgamesh still plans to send you, Hall, to investigate the situation."

Merlin laughed and said, "This shows that King Gilgamesh has great trust in Hall."

Ushiwakamaru explained: "I didn't question the meaning of King Gilgamesh's decision, it just felt too sudden."

Hall: "I accepted this assignment myself."

Olga Marie said worriedly: "Kusa City? It's the city where Hall and I met."

Ushiwakamaru asked curiously: "Do you know anything?"

"No, it's just that we encountered a group of strange undead there."

Leonidas I said in a deep voice: "Undead, it seems that it is not uncommon in this era. They often appear at night on the battlefield. It is a very good training opportunity."

Training soldiers with undead is worthy of being the king of war.

Hall listened silently.

Olga Marie Liu frowned and shook her head with lingering fear: "That's not the case. Those undead are very powerful and can appear during the day. Every time they appear, the surrounding temperature will drop rapidly."

Merlin pinched his chin and lost in thought: "The temperature has dropped...has it become difficult to breathe?"

"Yes."

Merlin said clearly: "So that's how it is. Those are not undead, and it's not correct to say that. They should be said to be recognized undead."

"Approval?"

"Yes, he was recognized by Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, the master of the underworld, and became the messenger of the underworld. He is the Garula spirit and the god of death."

"Does the underworld still exist in this world?"

Merlin regretted: "Sorry, I'm not very clear about this."

The topic will end soon.

Ushiwakamaru looked at Anna who was silently holding a cup of warm goat's milk and asked curiously, "Where is Anna a follower from?"

Anna looked at Hall, Hall shook his head and said, "Her appearance has a special inside story, and it is inconvenient to explain it now."

"I was rude." Ushiwakamaru smiled apologetically, raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp: "I'll apologize with this glass of wine."

Leonidas I laughed and said: "Hahahahaha, I heard it from the soldiers. Even though she is as small as a kitten, her strength cannot be underestimated. One person can deal with dozens of monsters. Amazing! In Sparta, a normal child as young as her could only fight one lion."

Merlin looked at Anna and thought to himself: "It should be about the same, no, maybe a little older, my child can defeat a qualified knight at that time."

Hall glanced at Merlin. In Merlin's heart, Knight King Artoria was like a daughter, and it was not wrong to say that it was his child.

Chaldea's projection, Dr. Roman complained helplessly: "Are you parents who compare themselves to your children?"

At this time, Da Vinci's projection jumped out and said urgently: "Sorry to interrupt your conversation, we have detected that a powerful spiritual base is approaching you quickly. The numerical value is not that of ordinary servants. In Uruk, you can have such spiritual strength." It’s the only one!”

boom!

There was a loud bang from the courtyard.

"Goddess Ishtar."

For a moment, under the eyes of everyone, Ishtar walked into the tavern, smiled and nodded at Da Vinci's projection: "Thank you for your explanation, that's right, only beauty and strength coexist, the trustworthy goddess Ishtar One pillar."

"Ah, this is an unexpected guest." Merlin smiled frivolously.

Ishtar stepped into the hall of the dormitory, looked around, and fixed his eyes on Hall: "Are so many people living in this small room? It's really hard for you, Hall, if you beg me , I might consider letting you live in my temple."

All eyes turned to Hall again, guessing the relationship between the two.

Hall shook his head and said: "No need, there are so many people, I live here very comfortably, what can you do with me at night?"

"The excitement is not annoying. I just came here to see you when I heard the news about your return." After a pause, Ishtar's eyes lit up when he saw Olga Marie. He looked her back and forth and said with a smile: "That person is you. He is the type I admire. From now on, the three of us will be in a competitive relationship."

Olga Marie was confused: "What?"

"You will know later." Ishtar glanced at Hall and smiled mysteriously. It was not her turn to explain.

Chapter 414 The Night of the Tavern

Ishtar just stopped by to say hello and didn't stop at the dormitory tavern.

Except for Hall, she doesn't know the servants summoned by King Gilgamesh, and her personality doesn't suit the atmosphere here.

"Goodbye, and in three days, the contract between me and Uruk will expire. If you need to renew, please recharge gems. That golden pickup is willing to pay me all of Uruk's property, and I am not You can't consider protecting human beings." Ishtar smiled brightly, jumped onto the sky bow horse Anna and disappeared into the night sky.

In the night sky, Ishtar overlooks Uruk at night. The central street is still brightly lit. He looks at the building where Hall is located, smiles and says to himself: "I thought it was a strong opponent, but an ordinary human magician, no doubt I won."

She didn't know Olga Marie, but she happened to pass by the north wall during the day, saw Olga Marie and Hall together, and came to say hello to Hall on a whim.

Inside the dormitory pub

Projection clock, Dr. Roman's expression was subtle: "What a resolute and resolute goddess."

"Just like the rumors, the urban god Ishtar of Uruk is very obsessed with gold and gemstones." Ushiwakamaru smiled teasingly.

Another projection flashed, and Da Vinci nodded: "The conditions she proposed just now seem to be a good deal. The power of a goddess cannot be measured by gold and gems. It depends on how the King of Heroes chooses."

"Compared to this."

Olga Marie stared at Hall from the corner of her eye, like a sharp blade, and pointed out: "Hall, you have an unexpectedly good relationship with that city god."

Da Vinci added: "That's right, to the extent that it feels unnatural, that's Ishtar, a goddess who is known for her willfulness and cruelty in mythology. Anyone who dares to disobey her orders will be killed."

Dr. Roman added: "However, it really is just a myth and legend. Although Goddess Ishtar's attitude was domineering just now, it doesn't mean that she is inaccessible, and she doesn't look so cruel."

Da Vinci walked up to Dr. Roman's back, put his blue gloved hands on his neck and cast a crucifix, jokingly said, "Why, did you say that because the other party is a cute girl? You frivolous doctor! "

"No...no such thing." Dr. Roman breathed hard.

Da Vinci looked at Hall: "So, what is your relationship?"

Hall touched his face and said calmly: "We had an encounter in another world, so we can be considered friends."

"another world?"

All the servants present were surprised by this statement.
