They are more like shepherds of the gods than kings of men.
Gilgamesh has not yet seen the king who will come after this.
In the current era, he is the only one who shoulders the heavy responsibility of human justice.
Although it was brutal, it also overturned the era of gods and made humans the protagonists.
In the Muggle world, the territory ruled by this ancient king does not seem to be anything to boast about, because the city-state has just been established and most of the people wandering around the land are savages from outside the city-state.
This is true.
But you have to know that even if there is nothing to brag about, the reason why Gilgamesh is popular is not because of anything else.
Rather, it is because in the 19th century when he was translated, Dostoevsky was still struggling with God in the literary world, and Hugo lamented that only God's love could save the world.
It was during this era that Gilgamesh was translated.
A heroic story was born that was different from the three Semitic religions, Buddhism, and most of the world's myths.
This is a king who once rebelled against the gods, but ultimately did not return to them and did not join the gods.
Even King Solomon was finally placed in the Old Testament, but Gilgamesh was not.
His death and story completely subverted the story system and religious system of the unity of man and God.
In the early days of translation, this story became popular because it was completely an attack on the fortress of Western-centrism as Eastern literature.
To put it more abstractly, while doing archaeological research, they discovered a book called "Fights Break Sphere", in which the protagonist shouted "My fate is in my own hands", which is shocking enough.
At that time, the West was still studying the Sumerian view of life and death and the myth of the great flood in a self-contained manner.
But in any case, the birth of Gilgamesh is a necessary condition for mankind.
During this era, Taosi and Shimao were competing to give birth to the Xia Dynasty after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Egypt had just built the pyramids, and the distant West was still playing with megaliths.
But after the invasion of the white giants led to the defeat of gods everywhere, the root cause has been chosen, allowing humans to replace the omnipotent gods with infinite possibilities.
This is the cause of everything for human beings, and this cause will inevitably weave into perfect fruit.
At this time, in the Type-Moon world at the same time, only Gilgamesh could shoulder this burden.
"In that case."
Gilgamesh sighed softly, "Now I can only slow down a little."
Try not to exploit the people as much as possible and let them live a good life.
This is what Gilgamesh must do.
Otherwise, a bunch of blind believers would be exploited and then find that they could find comfort as long as they entered the city-state of Susa.
In a matter of minutes, there was no one left in Gilgamesh's Uruk.
Others are fighting for six generations, but Gilgamesh can only accumulate defeat for six generations.
Therefore, Gilgamesh should at least make sure that he is not as tyrannical as before.
Gilgamesh found Siduri and told her to start recording on the stone tablet.
As the decrees were issued one after another, even the steady Siduri's facial expressions became exaggerated.
Facing Gilgamesh, he was completely shocked.
When will my monarch be able to issue such a decree?
It is completely inappropriate behavior.
But even so, Gilgamesh still frowned as he spoke.
You must know that even if you become a wise king now, you can stop people from flocking to the city-state of Susa.
But that doesn't mean you won't fall into the trap of the gods.
The beginning of Gilgamesh's becoming a human being was certainly chosen by the root, but as part of the Heaven's Carve it was a foreshadowing of the gods.
The Hero King is not a title worth boasting about.
Especially when the two are superimposed together, what is implied is the ambition of the gods.
Since it is impossible to prevent the root from giving rise to human beings, then in turn, letting the kings and heroes chosen by the gods to lead people forward can maintain the rule of the gods.
Therefore, if Gilgamesh wants to govern the city-state wisely, he must find a way to eliminate the influence of the gods.
Compared with Solomon, the two people's choices are similar.
One chose to torture people with brutality in order to get them to move forward, while the other only used that one miracle and then let go to humanity itself, accelerating the decline of the Age of Gods.
One person says that humans do not need gods, and another person proves that humans do not need grace and can create infinite possibilities relying on wisdom.
But now because of Sousa's changes.
Gilgamesh had a terrible headache.
A tough enemy.
Gilgamesh began to regret his previous "kindness" again.
However, the decree was still issued.
Let’s see how to face the gods step by step.
At least now I have to make sure I win the contest with Sousa.
In this way, at least the most terrifying possibilities can be curbed.
Make humans dependent on the gods again.
Spring passes and autumn comes.
A year has passed.
In the city-state of Uruk, people were aware of the change in the king.
Whether it was towards subjects, slaves, or savages, it could be said that he was extremely friendly.
The elderly have someone to take care of them and the children have a place to study.
In agriculture, many large canals were built to create fertile fields.
Gilgamesh also planned to change the saline-alkali land caused by long-term natural erosion from millet to rice as agricultural products.
The poets in the court also praised Gilgamesh sincerely.
However, Gilgamesh still seemed to be having fun every day.
Of course, he would also ask Siduri about the situation of the city-state regularly.
"Sidulli, what changes have there been in the city-state compared to last year?"
“It’s gotten a lot better.”
Siduri held up the slate and said, "Compared to last year, grain production has basically doubled, and people are convinced of Wang Li. But there are still some problems with the population."
“Is it because the birth rate is too low, or because too many elderly people are dying?”
Gilgamesh is particularly concerned about the most basic population.
Gilgamesh could improve other things, but he couldn't personally deal with the population.
"No, that's not it."
Siduri shook her head, somewhat helplessly: "It's just because many people went to the city-state of Susa."
Chapter 27 Let Uncle Kang Kang
"what?"
be sick.
Even the oldest hero king was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
Family members, who understands?
I worked hard for a whole year.
But my most trusted assistant told me.
Everything he had done over the past year was to retain the population and expand the influence as much as possible to attract more people to join the city-state.
In particular, Gilgamesh found a way to absorb the savages from small settlements, who were looked down upon by other kings and considered inferior to civilized people, into the city-state.
There is no doubt that compared to the people in the city-states, the savages are more receptive to many of Gilgamesh's ideas.
They were stranded in the wilderness.
In the definition of civilization and culture, it does not belong to the civilized side at all.
They are not without culture, but the form of expression still remains at the scale of settlements, and the largest ones are only slightly larger.
More importantly - they don't necessarily have their gods.
Having never relied on gods to survive, they will certainly rebel against gods, learn to create their own future with their own hands, and fulfill all miracles and dreams. Isn't this the most upright subject?
Gilgamesh basically recruited all the savages around him in a short period of time.
Logically speaking, the number of people should have increased a lot.
As a result, they all ran to Susa.
Gilgamesh's mood was indescribable: "Are you sure they all went to Susa?"
"Yes, I sent people to follow the traitors. Finally, we used pigeons to send messages and confirmed that they went to Susa. We also got some new information."
Gilgamesh listened to what Siduri said and became interested. He asked, "Is there any new information that I don't know?"
"That is to say, the level of brainwashing in the city-state of Susa is very high. Basically, once you enter the city, you will be forced to find ways to accept many things.
Eventually, they will be gradually drawn into Susa's trap and drawn into the city-state system."
“So original.”
Gilgamesh thought about it.
"It's really great that such a thing could be discovered."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Next, I will reward the scout who discovered this information and call him in to see me."
"His Majesty."
Siduri asked carefully.
"what happened?"
Gilgamesh replied quickly.
"that……"
Siduri was unable to speak for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "The scout also joined the city-state system of Susa. We have no contact since then."
"..."
Swirling the glass.
Gilgamesh was quite helpless.
He moved his body slightly and looked far away in the direction of the city-state of Susa.
Since the scouts are useless, I can just use my clairvoyance to take a look myself.
Of course, the information obtained through clairvoyance (future vision) is subject to various changes.
But if it was just to spy on other people's city-states, Gilgamesh was still capable of doing it.
Just think of it as watching the city-state segment two or three minutes later.
This would allow Gilgamesh to successfully achieve his goal of understanding the city-state of Susa.
However, compared with the ability to peek, Gilgamesh is not the most convenient person when it comes to the problem of peeping.
The most convenient one is Merlin, but Gilgamesh doesn't know his existence at this time.
