Chapter 45: Gilgamesh

045 Gilgamesh
Yin Nanna's tone was very scary when she spoke, but she looked at her expression with no fear at all, instead she looked at Amon with interest and smiled.
Amon twisted his neck and said, "Why did I kill you? I didn't do anything bad to save a boat! Yin Nanna, can you tell me who the shepherd in Sumer town is and his whip rope? It ’s made of monsters in the Youdi River. You obviously know why you reminded me now? Did you already know that we will encounter monsters when we cross the river, and what you said is true or false-you are Who, why did you find me? "
Yin Nanna smiled: "Everyone has his own secret, Amen, don't you do the same? You said it yourself, a magician with a secret mission! ... I want to thank you for helping me Everything, as far as what I say is true, but it depends on how you understand, maybe you will understand in the future .... Amon, I will keep my promise to repay you, you can ask me for one thing, as long as I can do it You wo n’t refuse, even if you want me ... "
Having passed the Youdi River, Yin Nanna doesn't seem to care about whether her identity is exposed. She just wants to see if Amon can guess who she is, but she doesn't say it, but she deliberately teases him.
Just then a man's loud singing suddenly came from afar, and the singing was good, but the lyrics were not very pleasant--
"Which one do you ever change to your loved one? Once a young lover, how many times will I cry for you every year? The shepherd you love will stack the most beautiful sweets in front of you and kill the most beautiful lamb. You feed, and he is finally whipped into a wolf. The bird you love has broken wings; the male lion you raise wanders with injuries ... "
As soon as she heard the song, Yin Nana's face changed, and she took her hand from Amon's shoulder and stood up. Amon also looked back in the direction of the song, and saw a convoy on the open river beach at the end of the field. The luxurious carriages decorated with gold reliefs were surrounded by bright ceremonies of honor, almost like a king on a tour.
The carriage had no carriage and was supported by a magnificent sunshade umbrella. On the carriage was a man in his thirties who had a handsome and healthy face and was wearing a loose purple velvet robe. The driver was a warrior, a man with a height of more than nine feet, wearing only a breastplate and no helmet, and a heavy bronze-colored silver sword hanging from his waist, and there was a common person beside him. The giant shield is almost tall, and the majesty is like a god.
The singer is the man in the purple robe sitting in the car, while singing, he is holding a glass of fine wine.
Seeing such a convoy coming from behind, Amon had hurried the carriage to the road to avoid it. Yin Nanna yelled with an angry expression: "Gilgamesh, you have such a courage to sing such a song in front of me! You came here with Urgent followers from Uruk City, what is this going to do? ? "
The singer also saw Yin Nanna, stood up in the car and bowed in salute: "Beautiful girl, you can call me Jill ... I see you as beautiful as a god, what is your name today?" "
Yin Nanna jumped off the carriage and stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way of the convoy, sneered and replied: "My name is Yin Nanna, Jill, Lord Uruk City, where are you going?"
Amon on the roadside carriage was taken aback. It turned out that the owner of the convoy was Gilgamesh, the owner of Uruk City in the Baron Kingdom! He heard Medanzo mentioned this famous figure. Some people said that he was a ninth-level warrior, and some people said that he was a great magician, but Gilgamesh himself had never confirmed it himself.
Gilgamesh also has a person's name on the continent, which is also a thunderbolt. He was Gilgamesh's playmate when he was a child. He became the captain of the city-state when he was an adult. His name was En Qidu. Class Samurai, known as the first warrior in the Tianshu continent. This title is somewhat exaggerated, but En Qi has never been defeated.
Such a character is definitely not dare to provoke Amon, and in his capacity can only avoid it far. However, Yin Nanna didn't seem afraid at all, so she stopped the whole team with a stern face. It seemed that Gilgamesh knew her and got up to salute her in the car, but asked her what her name was today. Although respectful, her tone was somewhat teasing.
The situation between the Kingdom of Barron and the Empire of Ecuador is not the same. It is a United Kingdom composed of many city-states forming a covenant. During the battle, they act together to the outside. There are also city-state alliance parliaments that make major decisions and accept the leadership of the king. It is equivalent to the role of alliance leader, and the city leaders of each city-state have great independence.
Gilgamesh is a well-known hero with a high reputation. He is usually not even regarded by the king. He will obey assignments only in decisions that affect the kingdom's major affairs. But the Uruk city-state is also the important town of the Baron kingdom on the defense line of the Youdi River, so the city-lords, including the king, are not too afraid to offend him.
Hearing the conversation between Yin Nanna and Gilgamesh, Amon began to suspect that Yin Nanna might be a royal princess. Only in this way can he explain the scene in front of him. He already had this when Yin Nanna wrote his name in a divine script. guess.
Gilgamesh ordered the team to stop, but he did not stand on the bus, and still bowed in salute: "I got an urgent report on the way to the city-state. The little son of the so-called Guardian of the Youdi River, Humbaba, A vicious weird snake attacked the ferry during the day. Now that Humba has violated the agreement of the gods, I can finally kill that nine-headed beast! ... Yin Nanna, do you want to see the fun? "
When Amon heard this, he was startled again, and the whip in his hand was so unsteady. Humba is the legendary patron saint of the Youdi River, and Gilgamesh actually said that he would kill it! His heart was full of surprise and curiosity, and he wanted to see the excitement very much, but reasonably told him that this excitement could not be made up, and it was wise to leave quickly. Yin Nanna just stopped in the middle of the road to speak, and he had no choice but to hide beside the road.
Just listening to Yin Nanna giggled and said, "Gill, you are going to kill Humba with Enqi? It is not easy to deal with. You must cut all nine heads. Can you do it?"
Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and stroked a ring on his hand and said, "Always try, I want to kill that nine-headed snake. Don't forget that Cedar fir is Ulu The city ’s most important output product, but the waterway carrying it was held by Humba Baba, my people sacrificed to it year after year, but it was insatiable, how many years it was not feasible to ship at night, how many people were buried in the belly of its descendants? "
Yin Nanna frowned slightly: "But I heard that this was the agreement between the two gods, Enril and Marduk. The jungle east of the Yudi River, which is rich in cedar and fir, is the god's land of Marduk, but the Youdi River It's Humba's territory, it's the gatekeeper of Enril's sacred realm .... You can't sail at night because you rejected the request to set up a temple for Humba in Uruk. "
Gilgamesh snorted: "It really considers itself a god? It's just a gatekeeper! The temple of the Uruk city-state will only serve true guardians, not blackmailers! Why does it ask me? Worship its idols in the Kingdom of Lord Marduk? Poor Hydra, do you think that you can get your own realm, and don't want to think of anyone who will truly offer sacrifices to it! "
Yin Nanna smiled again: "Yeah, Humba's head is not easy to use though ...! But if you kill it, you are not afraid to annoy Enril?"
The warrior in a hurry suddenly raised his head and said, "What happened at the ferry today is that Humba has violated the agreement of the gods, so I am going to kill it. Enril, as a god, cannot violate his own deities! ... … The most beautiful girl in my eyes, why do you worry about it? It is us who face the fierce battle, and it is us who face the danger, but I must take the sword in my hand today! "
Yin Nanna looked at the big man with a smile and said with a smile: "En Qidu, have you always wanted to be on the same side as the gods, and you have to kill Humba to prove it?"
The warrior named En Qidu proudly said, "Even if Humba Baba owns the temple, how many people will truly offer sacrifices? I beheaded that nine evil beasts. Even if there was no temple, both sides of the Youdi River should be How many people are grateful to sing and compose a pastoral song? "
Yin Nanna concealed: "It is a pity that you are one step late. The strange snake that was murdering in the river has been beheaded by a young hero who came forward. I was also present at the time, and he escorted me safely across the river .... If you haven't become the hero who saved the Manchurians, you have to look for Humba's obscurity? I don't think you can beat it by yourself. Jill may have this ability. "
En Qidu stood up from the cart, and turned back to Gilgamesh: "Master, please allow me to challenge Humba alone."
Gilgamesh frowned at Yin Nanna, frowned slightly, and said to En Qidu and Yan Yuese, "My best brother, of course, I will not refuse your request, but it will not put you in danger. You It may be possible to defeat Humba Baba, but it is difficult to stop it from escaping. Please let me cut off the retreat for you and let you personally cut off its nine heads one by one to achieve your achievements! "
En Qi bowed down and said, "Thank you Lord Lord."
Gilgamesh waved his hand and said to Yin Nanna: "Humba's children and grandchildren don't let people cross the river at night, killing one after another, always endless scourge. Today I want to directly cut off the source of this scourge! ... Yin Nanna, do you want to stop me? "
Yin Nanna Yan Ruhua looked at Gilgamesh with affectionate eyes: "How can I stop you, to be honest, I also want to see someone kill the nine-headed beast, Gil, you have this courage, really a hero ............ Thank you for inviting me to the car. I want to witness with my own eyes this rare heroic feat. "
Talking about her skirt, she jumped onto the car lightly, got on the carriage from En Qidu, waved, "Gilgamesh, let's go, I can't wait any longer."
She actually left Amon and followed the team. Amon was a little puzzled and relieved somehow. The team continued to move forward, passing by Amon, he was a little nervous, only listening to Gilgamesh asking: "Yin Nanna, you came here in this carriage, don't you take it?"
Yin Nanna laughed: "My lamb will find his own way and finally understand what his mission is. Walking with the heroic Gil, I no longer need the protection of others."
Gilgamesh sneered: "Everything is there, my carriage is the safest place on the mainland, but how can you possibly need me to protect it?"
The guard of honor had gone away, and Amon was left in the same place. Yin Nanna had asked Amon to send her to the capital of Barron, but now she followed Gilgamesh. If she is really a distressed royal princess, and she knows and trusts Gilgamesh, there is no need for a magician like Amon to protect him, but can't she say no to her?
Amon just thought so, and heard Yin Nanna's voice in her ear: "I'll see how they can kill the Hydra .... If you kill Humbaba's young son, if Humaba knows who did it , You will be in danger when you cross the Youdi River in the future. I wish them success .... Go on your way to where you want to go. I will come to you and fulfill my promise. "
The convoy has disappeared out of sight from a distance, but Yin Nanna's voice sounds like it is ringing in her ears. Although this is only a "secret word" in intermediate-level information magic, it is very clever! Amon was taken aback again, and then thought that since Yin Nanna knew the scriptures and had a noble identity, she was also proficient in the magic. It was only interrupted by Gilgamesh before he finished speaking. He has not yet figured out who Yin Nanna is, and she is so mysterious.
Seeing that the team was out of sight, Amon raised his whip and was about to hurry, but suddenly raised his head alertly. A black spot appeared where the convoy disappeared. The black spot quickly became a flying figure. It was extremely tall and tall like a giant. It was the warrior En Qidu who had just rushed.
En Qi seemed to be just walking, but faster than the horse rushing, even catching up with the flying birds in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, he reached Amon's car. Every step of his landing was silent, but Amon felt a force that shook the earth. In the presence of this warrior, he couldn't even raise the courage to resist.
When Amon looked at En Qidu's face, he had reached into his bag and took out the "spatial chaos" of the high-level scroll in the bone, and put it together with the other two middle-level scrolls. If the ninth-level samurai was hostile to him, Amon just wanted to get away as quickly as possible. But what did "the first warrior in the Tianshu continent" come to him to do with a little coachman, was it Yin Nanna's advice?
Seeing the speed of En Qidu, Amon even suspected that if the opponent really wanted to launch an attack, would he have a chance to use the scroll? En Qi came to the carriage and stood, like a hill. Although he didn't mean to attack Amon with a calm face, holding a golden plate in his hands, he said coldly, "You, the driver, killed you. The fierce monsters in the Di River have protected the full passengers and maintained the safety and dignity of the city-state. This is the reward of the Lord of the City, please take it. "
Although the proud samurai said "please" in his mouth, listening to his voice was an irresistible command. Amon jumped out of the carriage and stretched out his hands to pick up the gold plate. He respectfully replied, "Thank you Lord Lord, but I also save people to save myself." He can feel that Enqi is inexplicably hostile to himself. Under the mighty eyes of the samurai, even breathing was a little difficult and stagnant.
En Qi stared at Amon and still said coldly: "Your behavior deserves to be praised. This is the thank you from the Lord of the City .... Young magician, you are passing the city under the protection of Yin Nanna, and hurried away. Let's meet you next time, be careful I kill you! Remember, a woman like Yin Nanna cannot belong to you. "
After speaking these words, En Qi turned around and left, quickly disappearing behind the distant horizon. A gust of wind blew, and Amon suddenly felt a coolness. It was just a few words just now, and he even had a cold sweat. Let's look at two scrolls and ten stones on the gold plate. The scrolls are the "space confinement" and "detection forbidden" he used in the river.
Gilgamesh's well-informed news not only knew what was happening on the river Youdi, but even knew what kind of scroll Amon used. He ordered Enqi to send two of them and symbolically compensate the other scroll with ten divine stones. "The Song of Ice and Fire" is probably worth more than ten stones. It was created by Nero, and Gilgamesh may not know what scroll it is, but he has already done so generously, and it may be the face of Yin Nanna. .
Enril just called Amon as a "magician". Obviously, he already knew his identity. He had a very bad tone. He also said that he had to be protected by Yin Nanna before he could pass through the city-state, and the next time he met he would kill him. This was a real disaster for Amon. When did he offend the ninth-level samurai and the high-ranking city-state captain? After listening to the last words of En Qidu, he clearly warned Amon not to think of Yin Nanna in any way!
Amon asked himself, but he didn't care about Yin Nanna at all! It's really troublesome to be with this woman. First, I met someone outside the town of Sumer and killed someone. When I crossed the river, a monster came to attack. Now I'm inexplicably threatened by a big warrior. Fortunately, there is no need to walk with her anymore, otherwise a fifth-level magician in Amun District will not be able to play with his life!
Amon is somewhat arrogant. He is experiencing the top existence on the Tianshu continent today. In fact, a fifth-level magician has the power of a fifth-level warrior. watch for.
Leng Khan had already dried up, and Amon sat on the carriage and asked and answered a few questions-Is Yin Nanna hostile to herself? No, it doesn't. Did Yin Nanna do something wrong? No, she doesn't seem to have done anything wrong. Did you do something wrong? No, nothing more wrong. Are you sorry for Yin Nanna? No, he just helped her without offense.
Thinking of this, Amon settled again, shaking his whip, and drove away quickly. He just saw clearly that Gilgamesh's convoy left the road across the field and headed up the Youdi River, and this road leads in the other direction. According to Yin Nanna, he can bypass Uruk City. Back in the official way, Amon just wanted to go as fast as possible.
The whip sounded, and the horse ran fast. Nascott Lee gave him a good horse, which ran from noon to dusk. After dark, the car finally slowed down, the horse was tired, and the two horses couldn't stand it anymore. He had already gone far enough. En Qi has said that Amon can pass through the city this time, and he doesn't have to be too afraid, Amon just wants to be farther away from those potential dangers.
There was no problem along the way. After dark, Amon found a hidden mountain forest far away from the roadside, drove the carriage into the forest to hide, and found a water source to drink horses to rest nearby. I also need to take a good rest. The consumption of fighting with the snakes during the day is really great. After running all the way, I feel a little dizzy.
In the middle of the day, Amon woke up asleep on the carriage and felt a little drowsy. Then he began to sit quietly and practice basic meditation. He suddenly felt a shock in his soul. The operation detection divine sensed the perception. Reached the most sensitive state, heard various sounds from afar.
There are terrible roars of monsters, just like the tens of thousands of bisons screaming in unison, and the shouting and drinking of warriors, which sounds like the voice of En Qidu, and is accompanied by the crashing and bursting sounds of mountains and rivers. Are Enqi really fighting the nine-headed snake Humbaba, the patron saint of Youdihe? Can he kill it, or will he be killed by a serpent? The sound came from far away, and even the detection of divine magic was inaudible, but it was still breathtaking.
Amon beheaded Humbaba's younger son, and he may be retaliated by the river when he crosses the Youdi River later, so he should hope that someone can slaughter Humaba. En Qi has threatened Amon, he should also hope En Qi will bury his body in a snake kiss. But when Amon heard this fighting sound, he still hoped that En Qi would be able to successfully kill the Hydra.
As for the warrior's threat, he didn't care too much. The Tianshu continent is so big. Amon, a hidden magician, can go anywhere. It is almost impossible to deal with the high-ranking city-state captain, even if it is there. You may not even meet in Uruk, just in case you run into a distance. En Qi is just intimidating him. It is impossible to hunt down such an inconspicuous person in person. Amon is not Humba!
The distant struggle did not end until dawn, and the tragic scene can be imagined. Amon had already listened to God, and could not help thinking of what the old lunatic had said. Whether it was physical skill or divine skill, if it was cultivated to the ninth level, it would already be the pinnacle of mortals, and even have the power to fight with the gods. It is called a demigod. . The old lunatic also suspects that some so-called deities are just demigods, not real deities.
Now it seems that the so-called Youdiba Humbaba may be a demigod. Ninth-level warrior En Qi dares to kill it. He should also know the nest of the nine-headed snake.
