The king once again brought the sleeping outlander back to Uruk.

It was different from the first time. At that time, it was an attitude of indifference, and the person was thrown directly into the most shabby cell.

But this time, people came out of their homes and stood silently on both sides of the road, watching the king return from afar.

The dust made his blond hair dull, and Wang's red eyes, which were always proud and imposing, fell silent in silence.He hugged the man in his arms, and covered the most vulnerable appearance of the man with the broken cloak.

Pass through the city and return to the palace, where the chief priest has already been waiting.

But to the king's surprise, although he indulged him, the chief priest, who had a deeper belief in the patron saint Ishtar, looked complicated, sad, distressed, struggling, and finally turned into real determination.

"Go ahead, king. Uruk is your country. The people living here respect you, worship you, and will always follow behind you."

Wang paused, his eyes narrowed slightly: "This really doesn't look like what you would say. After all, what may come here is the punishment of God, the wrath of God. Even if I tell the truth that expresses fear, this king will not will blame you."

There are many things hidden in the soft and firm eyes of the head priest, but it would be too cumbersome to explain the king's doubts one by one.

Therefore, she only uttered the heartfelt voice that is enough to represent the people of Uruk: "Because the king is still here."

"Well?"

"Don't delay, king, please put the lord you are holding in place first." The chief priest was quite cunning, and avoided talking about the important topic, just said: "If you want to know why, just take the time Go ask your people."

"..."

Gilgamesh looked away from the chief priest's face, said, "When does this king need you to command?", and really strode away.

Dare to skip this king's question, his courage is really getting bigger and bigger.

Perhaps such thoughts also appeared in Wang's mind, but it was not important.

Eddie was taken to his bedroom by him.

Gilgamesh is a generous king. If he wanted to, he wouldn't have to let Eddie, who knew nothing in his sleep, live under the same roof as him.

But for some reason, it seemed that he hadn't thought of other options from the beginning, and the previous prison cell was even more impossible, so his footsteps came here naturally.

"Tsk, that's it, lest this guy wake up and say I'm narrow-minded."

Gilgamesh just moved his finger away from Eddie's face when he said this.

Obviously not long ago, he was still thinking in his heart that this man had finally calmed down completely, and he was not so arrogant and eye-catching.But looking at it again this time, I feel that it is not good to be too quiet, without momentum, and it seems to be a completely different person.

That's why Gilgamesh didn't want anyone other than himself to see Eddie's current appearance, even showing a little pale fingertips that were completely bloodless.

If Wang could be aware of his own thoughts earlier, he would clearly realize that his current mood is not only anxious about the serious injury of his "best friend", but something deeper is called "possessiveness".

Possessiveness, for a king, should be regarded as an instinctive potential.However, Gilgamesh rarely felt that way.

The reason is quite extravagant and quite simple.Because all the treasures in the world belong to him, he was born on the highest apex, and there is nothing he cannot get, so naturally, he can't have any boring possessive desire for things that he doesn't like.

Even the friendship with Enkidu is like this.

A certain man suddenly appeared, crashing into their field of vision like a blazing flame.

For Eddie, Gilgamesh's initial thoughts were indeed the same: Appreciate and approve while being unhappy.

Wang has always been very conniving to those who can get his approval. Therefore, after discovering that his best friend Enkidu was enthusiastically pursued by Eddie, and Enkidu didn't seem to resist, and in turn had a tendency to be moved, Wang acquiesced Yes, I don't plan to get involved.

That's right, Gilgamesh didn't intend to get involved at all, it was so boring——

"That's right, you are different from me. You are a fool king who enjoys all kinds of good things. It's different from me who only thinks about Enkidu and doesn't care about it. It's different."

"..."

That's right, Gilgamesh really didn't intend to meddle.

But things backfired. As the culprit, Eddie seemed to provoke him deliberately and insisted on dragging him into the water.

This is a good move, Wang, who is used to self-willedness, meets his opponent for the first time, and meets a person who is no less self-willed than himself.So of course the idea of ​​not getting involved can only be left behind, they have to fight no matter what they do, they have to fight for competitions, they have to fight for drinking, even if they have nothing to do - they have to fight.

Many times it was Eddie who won the battle, and there were also many draws, but in terms of the result, Gilgamesh was at a disadvantage.

No.

Even if it is admitted that that guy is stronger now, it is impossible for him to completely admit defeat.

I don't know when, Gilgamesh's originally indifferent attitude could no longer be maintained.The more he lost to Eddie, the more he didn't want that man to leave his sight. He had to admit that Eddie's expression after gaining the upper hand really made him unable to look away.

That's why.

Gilgamesh faintly began to feel weird.

Eddie stayed with Enkidu most of the time, which was normal, after all, he was determined to pursue Enkidu.However, Gilgamesh occasionally noticed them, but there was always a bit of discomfort superimposed.

It's a bit of an eyesore.

What's going on, Enkidu actually looked at that idiot's back and laughed.

Wang's displeasure probably wasn't because "the only close friend before was snatched away by a friend who insisted on squeezing in later", but he never thought about the specific reason, so naturally he couldn't detect it.

Sometimes the hand that is stretched out unintentionally fails to touch someone.

Sometimes it seems like a blessing to the soul, Wang looked forward from a high place, and saw a familiar guy among the civilians, carelessly hooking up with people, smiling so freely, the weird feeling resurfaced.

If there is no accident, it may take a long time for Gilgamesh to realize his true thoughts.

However, when the "accident" came true, he was not happy at all.

So at that time, Gilgamesh would say——

"That's too much, Enkidu."

"Keep teasing me till the end. If that's what you mean by 'competition'..."

Awakened.

——Because he is a king who can get what he wants and is used to willful and plundering, he is attracted to objects that he can't get and can't plunder, and then he cares so much without knowing it.

Memories stop here, let time return to reality.

Gilgamesh's contemplation was only allowed to exist for such a short time, and soon, he withdrew his thoughts calmly.

From Enkidu's death, from Eddie's serious injury, too, from this moment.

The king will not let his personal emotions affect his judgment as a king, time is running out, and there are still quite a few things he needs to do.

It's all Eddie's fault—Enkidu's last provocation is counted, leaving him no room to be overwhelmed by Enkidu's death, but he has become more serious than ever before.

So, one day later.

Standing on the high platform of the temple, the king announced to all Uruk people that God's punishment would come soon because of successive violations of God's majesty.The scope is limited to Uruk, if anyone is afraid, please leave now.

"This king will not punish anyone, let alone whether you leave or stay."

"However, only a little bit!"

"Those who stay behind will, under the leadership of this king, fight against God without fear or hesitation!"

However, after declaring it so indifferently, everyone in the city turned into fools who were not afraid of death, and no one left.

they said……

"The king killed the bull of heaven for us. Let our homeland not be swallowed by the flood, so that we can still live as we are now and gather with our relatives and friends."

"Lord Enkidu died for this, and Lord Eddie is willing to be an enemy of the goddess for this. How can we turn our backs on their efforts?"

Moreover, even if the divine punishment is approaching, the people of Uruk are not panicked.

"Because the king is still here."

When Eddie went to the mountain, Gilgamesh stayed behind and did not go with him.

"The king's willingness to come back and stay in Uruk is telling us—our king will never give up on us."

no doubt.

This is the answer that the chief priests wanted to tell the king.

Gilgamesh remained silent on the high platform for a long, long time, before he raised his head under the eager eyes of countless people in the audience, with that incomparable and proud expression on his face again.

"Hmph, a group of self-righteous guys are nothing but my king's servants."

"That's all! Bastards, start getting mentally prepared now! Go back to rest, recharge your batteries, and don't cry and cry with regret at that time!"

Sure enough, on the second day, God's punishment came.

Unprecedented drought—not a drop of rain fell on the land of Uruk for a year.

However, an obsessive king ruled over a group of obsessive people.

If he really didn't give in, Wang thought of countless ways, and even finally used the magic that he despised, and finally survived the drought for a year.

at last.

at last.

On the day when everyone is exhausted and Wang's last resort has to fail.

Some man who only gave himself a year off woke up.

The man walked out of the door, looking at the dry, cracked, cobweb-like ground around him, a slight smile seemed to leak from the corner of his mouth.

"It's not easy. Thank you, Jill."

"Well, after sleeping for so long, it's time to move your muscles."

--then.

He dragged a cloud frozen in ice from afar.

When the ice starts to melt.

The cold rain, just as the king had been waiting, arrived as expected.
