A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

"You look like this now, it doesn't look bad."

"Yeah, it's not bad. Don't you think you'll see a dry old man lying here dying?"

This is their first conversation in decades.

If you have a good memory, you can still recall that familiar lines appeared decades ago.

It's just that the person who spoke the first sentence was Gilgamesh, and now it's Eddie.

"That's what I thought before I came here."

"Hey, that really disappoints you."

Unfortunately.

Both of them had good memories.

However, this is also a good thing.

Eddie remembered Gilgamesh's haughty self quite well, and Ben wondered how he'd have the nerve to make fun of an old man who couldn't even breathe.Fortunately, Gilgamesh has the blood of the gods, and even after his lifespan ends, his appearance is exactly the same as it was decades ago.

Even his demeanor didn't change.

When I first came in, when I first saw him, there was still a little taste of being eroded by the years.With his eyes closed, he seemed to be in a deep sleep, and one could feel it at a glance. Under that still young and handsome face, was a slowly aging soul.

But, waited back.

The old king opened his eyes, and when he saw this arrogant man sneaking into the palace without a sound and coming to the king's bedroom—he smiled.

It was at this moment that the tranquility and fatigue engraved in the depths of the soul were completely suppressed. The smiling king imprinted the figure of the man in his eyes with the terrifying red pupils, and he turned into the domineering man he once was. Unreasonable guy.

That's good, but it matched Eddie's impression.

Wang watched Eddie approach, and the closer he got, the more blazing Wang's eyes became.

In the end, the man unceremoniously sat on the side of Wang's bed, and Wang spoke naturally.

"I heard that you subdued a few more troublesome monsters."

"Tsk, it's nothing. I happened to meet it on the road, so I solved it easily."

"After wandering outside for so many years, I really admire your patience."

"I didn't know that those gods disappeared without even saying hello, without leaving a trace... Tsk, I'm so angry. Has that Ishtar never appeared again?"

"That woman was almost killed by you, how could she still have the face to show up?"

Sentence after sentence, it's like the most common reminiscence after reuniting with old friends who haven't seen for many years.

Gilgamesh naturally also remembered Eddie's appearance at that time.

There is not much change from now, not only the appearance, but also the momentum.

Unlike myself, who remained unchanged on the outside and still unable to resist the erosion of the years, this man really hasn't changed.

Whenever you see him, the first thing you notice are his eyes.

However, just like looking directly at the dazzling sun at noon, when you see him, you will not be hurt by the dazzling sunlight.

Although not seen again for decades, Gilgamesh clearly knew what Eddie was up to.

He first went back to the desert where Lucas was buried, and found the bones of his eagle.

Then, he fell asleep peacefully.

More than ten years later, when he woke up, he wandered aimlessly, beheading monsters, and he continued to become stronger in the process.

He passed by Uruk many times, and the king also heard from the people that there was a lonely figure standing on the city wall, looked inside from a distance, and then disappeared.

Really.

In a flash, so many years have passed.

It never occurred to Wang that Eddie would never come back.

It doesn't matter whether he is arrogant or confident—Gilgamesh has long been sure that Eddie will definitely come back.Therefore, he only thought of this man occasionally.

correct.If the current atmosphere is maintained, they can continue to chat calmly.

But Gilgamesh wanted to break this tranquility.

"Aren't you going to stay?" Wang sat up, his movements were quite slow, but his voice was very relaxed.

"You are a man who cannot be forced. I already knew that. However, you are much softer than you think. I won this game?"

Eddie: "Win a fart."

"Don't make a mistake, if I hadn't heard that your kid was dying of illness, I wouldn't bother to talk to you." He raised his hand, as if to give a fist to some bastard who was still thinking about him.

Gilgamesh still had a smile on his lips, and even with his fists in front of his eyes, he still had the look of "I don't believe you can beat me down", he was so arrogant.

Eddie really hit it off.

However, his fist turned into a finger, and he pushed Gilgamesh, who had just sat up, back to lie on the bed, leaving a red fingerprint on Wang Gaogui's forehead.

After pressing, Eddie folded his arms around his chest and looked down sideways: "I decided to stay."

"But it's about staying in this world." His tone softened, and he implied a warning: "Gilgamesh, what I mean is not the same as what you want."

Gilgamesh: "...uh."

It has to be said that Eddie is the only person in this world who dares to treat him like this.

Wang was still not angry.

He chuckled, and the look in his eyes dimmed as time passed.

This is also unavoidable, although it cannot be seen on the surface, but at this time he has already reached his deathbed.

"I obtained many kinds of materials, and found the strongest among them, and made the strongest chain in the world."

Gilgamesh spoke suddenly.

"It still doesn't work." The smile didn't reach his eyes, but he still looked at Eddie, "At this level, I still can't lock you. However, even now, I still don't plan to use what I already have. Say 'lock'."

Eddie frowned: "What?"

Gilgamesh snorted and uttered a word.

Eddie's expression suddenly changed, showing anger for a while.But when he was about to attack, he forcibly endured it.

——The lock of the sky.

It is an important thing to show the existence and status of the king's best friend Enkidu, and it is also a symbol of Enkidu. As the king's favorite weapon, he once used it to bind the bull of heaven.

Eddie has naturally seen the Sky Lock, but he doesn't know the real name of the Sky Lock.

The lock of the sky, Enkidu, also known as "Enkidu".

Logically speaking, the Sky Lock is a weapon that is only effective against gods. The higher the divinity, the harder it is to break free. Eddie has no divinity in him, and the Sky Lock has no effect on him.

But Gilgamesh still said that this was the only lock that could lock him.

This is absolutely true.

That chain was the incarnation of Enkidu—that's why Eddie suddenly became angry after hearing that sentence.

Although he calmed down quickly.

"Is there any benefit in provoking me on purpose? You guy, do you really want to be beaten by me?"

"Let's talk about it later."

"..."

Eddie froze.

Such soft words, unexpectedly came out of Gilgamesh's mouth.

After Wang lay down, he had already closed his eyes again.

The edge that appeared on him when Eddie appeared gradually faded away at this moment, and the somewhat dark, lifeless shadow seemed to climb onto Wang Jingmi's face.

Although he still said lightly: "I'm tired, so I'll talk about it next time."

——Before you come back again, I will definitely find the chains that can keep you behind.Oh, if you can, meet that wicked Enkidu again, and it would be nice to settle accounts with him.

Eddie was silent.

He looked down at Gilgamesh, and the anger that remained in his heart was finally dissipated helplessly.

Leaving Uruk and spending decades abroad was a choice he had made long ago, and it had nothing to do with Gilgamesh's sudden confession—well, anyway, he was shocked by the confession.

He just didn't expect that the idiot king, who has never had much patience, and it is even more difficult to imagine having special feelings for anyone, would still hold a grudge against him after so long.

and……

"Fuck you." Eddie scolded, "You won't let me go even if you die?"

Gilgamesh didn't reply, but he must have thought so in his heart.

Eddie was completely screwed over him.

Time was still passing by unstoppably, and even the slight sound of breathing became weaker and weaker in the bedroom, to the point where it almost disappeared.

Finally, what sounded again was a man's sigh.

First Enkidu.

Then, Gilgamesh again.

"...Forget it. If we can meet again."

He stretched out his hand and brushed the hair on the forehead of the king who seemed to be sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed.

Another shadow fell on the king, but it was the man who leaned over and pressed his lips against Gilgamesh's forehead.

"In my hometown, I use this gesture to express my best wishes to my family and friends."

"Even if you are a bastard who doesn't listen to people's words, I still want to bless you."

It was just a light touch, a slight touch, and it fell away as soon as it fell.

He stroked Gilgamesh's blond hair, which also seemed to be somewhat dull.

The sunlight was blocked by his back, but Wang, who was sleeping peacefully, couldn't see it. In his downcast eyes at this moment, there appeared the softness that had also appeared before.

"Go to sleep."

"King of Uruk. After working hard for so long, you can finally rest for a while."

……

When Eddie left, he wasn't as silent as he had come.

He directly pushed open the door of the bedroom.

Gilgamesh should have expected him to come a long time ago, so he pushed back the guards and maids, and there was only one person standing there quietly behind the door.

Eddie looked at that person for a while, and finally compared it from memory.

"It's you, Siduri."

The girl in the tavern, after so many years, has naturally grown into an adult.

Although she was covered with a veil, she looked much older than Eddie.This is also impossible.

When Eddie walked past her, he asked calmly, "God has disappeared, so is there any need for priests to exist?"

Siduri, who is already the chief priest, showed a slightly bitter expression: "You are right, brother Eddie. Now that we have lost the voice of the god we believe in, there is actually no need for me to stand here anymore."

"only--"

"Ok?"

"I'm here to watch the king instead of you." Siduri finally smiled, and she was more similar to the lively little girl in Eddie's memory.

"I still remember our agreement at that time, how about you?"

Eddie looked at her, and slowly, his smile widened: "Haha - of course I remember!"

"If you read it right, you are a good girl."

He opened his arms and hugged the good girl vigorously, and also ruffled her hair as he did back then.

The son of God and man, King Gilgamesh was born as a "bond".

Even though he considers himself a human being and does not recognize his godly blood—his death symbolizes the decline of the age of gods in this period.

That is to say...

"The age of God, from now on, is over."

Siduri's last murmurs were blown away by the wind, gradually turning into nothingness.

Eddie, who had gone away, had heard it long ago.

He left the familiar yet unfamiliar city of Uruk behind him, and in front of him was the endless plain.

At first, his steps were very steady.

But after walking far, passing by the sacred mountain that has now become a ruin of mountains and rocks, among the huge rubble, you can also find the remains of a moss-covered temple.

Eddie stood here with a mess in his eyes.

The originally indifferent expression began to change from this moment, sternness appeared in the eyes, the great anger that was not shown in front of Gilgamesh, and the obscurity that was even less likely to be shown in front of Siduri, all gushed out at this moment.

"Disappeared?"

"It's over?"

"It's really quick to run."

After waking up and recovering from his injuries, when he climbed the highest mountain here, intending to find the miracle and take revenge again, he fell in a daze.

Not only Ishtar - he found nothing.

It was as if in an instant, the domineering gods in the human world retreated to the highest level of the sky, and hid a deeper plane that humans cannot touch.

Let his hatred have nowhere to vent, how can this be allowed?

The memory of that day is still very vivid until now, and even if the past is longer than a few decades, it is destined to be impossible to forget.

When he was attacked by Ishtar and his chest was pierced, Eddie thought, no, it really is too bad.

Under the boulder, while stroking the only remaining wing of Lucas, Eddie thought, no, he must become stronger.

Before this, he had never been injured so seriously, and he had never lost anything important to him.

As far as humans are concerned, he is the strongest.

But what if you encounter an existence that is far beyond the scope of human beings?What is he worth.

So, even if nothing can be seen on the surface, on the surface, this man is still extremely dazzling, as if no setbacks can overwhelm him.

But in fact, Eddie still tasted the taste of "frustration".

He has to taste it carefully, keep it firmly in his heart, and use it as the motivation to make himself uncompromising and to move forward.

——Still getting stronger.

Thus, his blood, his bones and flesh, everything he owns, led by such intense emotion, pushed him in the desired direction.

In the end, it did get stronger.

Although he thinks it's not enough.

But becoming stronger didn't bring him much joy, all the cells in his body were screaming, and the boiling flesh was also roaring.It doesn't matter if you "die" again, the resentment from the past must be washed away.

... Then, the second unexpected blow came.

It was completely impossible to escape, and there was no way to even find another way, so it just knocked him dumbfounded.

The target of revenge is gone, so what revenge does he have? !

hateful.

hateful.

hateful! ! !

At this time, Eddie was in a state of being extremely angry and unable to vent. He was full of resignation, and only felt that the gods here basically wanted to oppose him.

"Oh shit."

He gritted his teeth.

Because of anger, frost spread from under his feet, turning the surrounding land into ice in an instant.

Before Eddie left again, he waved his hand and pierced the broken Ishtar statue scattered on the ground with an ice pick.

After the ice pick pierced through, the statue with only the head was left torn apart.As the fragments flew apart, they condensed into ice again, and when they shattered again, not even a speck of dust was left behind.

"Not here, I'll look elsewhere."

"One day... one day, definitely, we must take the 'God' out of their territory!"

***

Egypt, the vast land ruled by the pharaoh, is like the rising sun, sprouting bright vitality.

This was an extremely ordinary day, and it happened to be in the afternoon, when the neatly lined streets had the most people walking.

The children bypassed the various stalls made of only a piece of cloth spread on the ground, and yelled and shuttled through the gap between the houses and pedestrians, but their laughter could not cover the lively atmosphere on the street.

This place also has the most prosperous dynasty in today's era. Merchants from foreign countries have captured business opportunities, so they naturally come from afar and get mixed up in it.The skin color, hair color, and eye color are completely different from those of the locals, which stand out among the crowd, but are not so obtrusive.

Of course, there was not only laughter in the crowd, but also conversations involving many important matters or complicated and trivial matters.

"Did you know the news?"

"Of course. Back, back! God bless our invincible Pharaoh."

"I heard that the day before yesterday, the prince escorted the captives and marched through the street, but I went out that day and didn't see that scene. It's really a pity."

What was discussed can be roughly summarized.

Pharaoh Ramses, who had only been on the throne for a year, died, and his ambitious son Seti came to the throne and became the new pharaoh ruling the entire Egypt.

Pharaoh was the king of Egypt, the supreme ruler.The new pharaoh did not intend to give up the expedition to Syria before he took the throne. He continued the expedition in his first year as pharaoh and returned smoothly not too long ago.

About the "prince" in that passage, I have to explain a little more.

Pharaoh Seti had two sons and two daughters under his knees. Among them, the eldest son died of illness very early, and the only remaining second son became the heir to the throne as a matter of course.

The prince's name is Ozymandias. Although he grew up pampered, he is worthy of being his father's favorite heir. He has shown excellent qualities to be a pharaoh since he was a child.

The young prince received Pharaoh's education from an early age, and entered the army at the age of ten. Now, at the age of 13, he has taken over the task of escorting the captives back to the capital, showing the people who will belong to him in the future that he is equally intolerant. Underestimated posture.

In other words, not only the pharaoh who had just ascended the throne, but the young prince also left a deep impression on people.

They look forward to his growth, praise his agility and bravery, and they also look forward to the prince.

Passing through the complex civilian area, the middle area of ​​the capital is the military garrison and official residential area, and the deeper place stands the magnificent palace and temple.

The private conversations of those common people simply cannot penetrate such a long distance and reach the ears of truly honorable people.

and so……

No one expected that because of an accident, or a mistake, the perfect image of the prince would almost be broken in front of the common people.

Here's the thing.

The first battle was won, and the spoils brought along with the captives from foreign lands were extremely rich, including a horse.

It is not right to say that it is a horse, it should be a divine steed.

The whole body of the black tall horse, the hair of the whole body is also black and shiny, and its body composition is perfect. Every muscle seems to contain strength. When it gallops, it is like a gust of wind like a dark cloud.

However, the most important thing is that it is said that no one has been able to tame this horse until now. They can only be suppressed by force and locked in a cage instead of letting it gallop with people.

The cage wandered for many miles and was finally transported to Thebes.

Seti asked the prince to be summoned, intending to let him have a look at this incredible horse, but Ozymandias stepped into the palace and laughed when he saw the steed for the first time.

"Father, is this a gift you want to give me?"

Although Ozymandias was asking, but from the flickering eyes, he could already understand his determined thoughts.

Seti froze for a moment, but he didn't expect Ozymandias to say that.

However, when his thoughts changed, he did not explain, but followed the prince's words: "If you can tame it, then it will be your mount."

"No problem." Ozymandias agreed without hesitation.

He couldn't wait to walk to the cage, and confronted the red-colored eyes of Shen Jun.The horse seemed to know that the human being, who was not as tall as it and not strong in stature, wanted to tame him. He breathed heavily from his nostrils, and his front hooves, which must have contained great strength, were also planing uneasily.

This is a warning, but also a threat. If it were someone else, even if they didn't take a step back in fright, they would still be stunned.

But Ozymandias did not behave like this at all, and immediately asked someone to open the cage door.

Seti reminded him at this time: "Don't be brave. This steed exhausted more than a dozen slaves before they managed to catch it. Ozymandias, even if you can't subdue him, you can't count him incompetent."

"Spiritual horse? It's just crowned with a god word, and it's just a livestock in essence. Could it be that I, Ozymandias, the son of the Pharaoh, can't even subdue a mere livestock!" the prince said disapprovingly.

It can be seen from this that quickness and bravery are Ozymandias' strengths, but in him now, he still has the most indispensable arrogance of a boy of this age.

He didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, let alone thought that he would fail.

The cage door was slammed open, and the swift black shadow passed by like a gust of wind, almost unable to catch the figure.

However, the young prince was equally quick in his movements.He grabbed the rein hanging between the horse's neck in an instant, and was pulled out by Shen Jun, unable to stabilize his body at all.

Shen Jun rampaged in the palace, and the next moment he rushed out of the main gate of the palace, passing through the outer official residence area, the guards couldn't catch up at all.

At this time, the backward gust turned into sharp blades, mercilessly washing over the unshielded skin surface.

Even though he was mentally prepared in advance, Ozymandias did not expect that the speed of this animal would be so fast. His feet had already been dragged to the ground, and he was still bumping repeatedly due to the steep turn in direction. suffered countless wounds.

"hateful!"

Ozymandias tightened his grip on the rein desperately, opened his eyes against the biting cold wind, and leaked the persistence of never giving up from his clenched teeth.

"You want to get rid of me, then..."

With a sudden push, he actually seized the opportunity of Shenjun passing by the edge of the house, lifted his foot on the wall to borrow strength, and immediately turned over and stepped onto Shenjun's back.

This can be regarded as his small progress, but in a rather serious aspect, it became the fuse that completely angered the black horse.

All of a sudden, without any room for adaptation, the jolt that almost shook the bones of the whole body came again after increasing in degree.

Ozymandias almost got thrown, he slid off his horse and slammed into the wall hard, but he didn't let go.

At this time, if someone else were to look at him, they would definitely not be able to recognize the gray-faced brown-haired boy in front of him as a noble prince—ah, the premise is that they can't look at his eyes that were burning with anger and fighting spirit at the same time.

"Give me—stop!"

After a short thought, Ozymandias gave up his plan to climb on horseback, and instead came up with a very crazy idea.

He wanted to put himself on the ground and use the most direct and purest force to forcibly stop the black horse from galloping forward.

however.

Just when he was about to do this, the murmur that poured into his ears along with the blast was slightly clearer, but it brought a message that made the temporarily excited prince calm down.

It turned out that before he knew it, the black horse had already dragged him out of the residential area, and he was about to break into the bustling city with the most crowds——

"what sound?"

Tap, tap, tap, messy and heavy.

"What's coming... Ah, ah!"

At this time, someone has already discovered the strangeness.

They also couldn't see the whole picture of the black horse clearly, they only felt a dark shadow rushing menacingly, blowing a gust of wind that made the curtains hanging on the street suddenly rolled up.

The children who had been frolicking on the street just happened to run to the street, and within a few seconds, they were about to be crushed underfoot by the black shadow without warning.

The children couldn't react, and the adults were also stunned.

The peaceful atmosphere in the busy city seemed to freeze suddenly at this moment.There was a dead silence, and then a deafening scream.

Ozymandias was also stunned for half a second at this moment, but he came back to his senses quickly, a shadow appeared between his brows, and he was going to do his best to hold the crazy horse according to the idea just now. A galloping dark horse.

Before he tightened his grip on the rein again, apart from the few civilian children who were too dazed to run, there was another figure closest to the horse's head.

The figure was covered by a cloak enough to cover the whole body, and even men and women could not be seen.

However, when the black horse came neighing and charged, there was an instant contrast - the black horse, nearly two meters behind its head, was enough to overwhelm most human beings in height, but when it came in front of this person, it didn't look very tall.

Ozymandias saw the man.

Because of this, he froze for a moment again, allowing his movements to pause for a while.

This was a fatal mistake, but the expected tragedy did not happen.

"…………hiss!!!"

A scream that seemed to be laced with pain echoed in an extremely close distance.

Ozymandias only felt that his eyes were blurred, and his body turned around, but his feet really fell on the ground.However, his butt also fell to the ground.

A large shadow blocked his vision.

There was a man who overturned the mad horse with only one hand.

After picking up the young man who was hanging awkwardly beside the horse and throwing it to the ground, the man didn't even look at him, but just looked behind him.

The frightened children were blocked by him. At this time, the tears that were too late just fell, and the howling sound also came.

"Why are you crying, be more courageous."

When the man spoke, it was a man's deep voice, with a slightly cold tone.

The children cried harder.

"Okay, okay, crying makes me dizzy." The man frowned slightly.

Even though he said that, he didn't feel fierce at all, but because of his subsequent actions, he added an extra touch of tolerance.

He patted the heads of those children: "Go back, don't run around on the street with your head sullen."

"Oh... thank you... thank you uncle!"

The silly children finally stopped being stupid. They opened their legs and plunged into the crowd tremblingly.

Mostly for men, this accidental encounter has already been resolved.He didn't care about the collapsing horse, or the young man he ignored after he picked it up, and turned around to leave.

"you--"

The boy suddenly spoke.

Ozymandias could see the man's face as he turned his head to teach the children.

The hood that was part of the cloak fell off with the movement of turning the head, and at the same time, the silver hair that fell quietly.

That touch of silver came into the eyes, like the moonlight pouring into the world in a quiet night.

Ozymandias thought so at first, but then, this quiet idea was subconsciously overturned by himself.

If that silver hair were moonlight, it would be impossible to easily climb onto the face of the person in front of him, let alone sway boldly in front of the golden eyes imprinted on the side face.

too strong.

This man was able to knock down a fierce horse that could barely be subdued by more than a dozen people with one hand, and was dying to the ground.

In Ozymandias' eyes, the light that had previously faded due to unexpectedness flickered again.

He was not at all convinced by the strength displayed right in front of his eyes. If he had to say it, his focus was completely wrong.

What he saw next were the eyes of the man.

The golden color is so dazzling that it is difficult for ordinary people to look at it - the same color as his eyes.

On this fertile soil, everyone knows that the prince Ozymandias has unique golden eyes.

Now, because of the young man's vigor and vigor, although these eyes are not filled with a fierce look that makes others fear, they have become a symbol of being extraordinary.

Ozymandias didn't expect someone with the same eye color as him.However, this is not the important reason why he forgot to speak for a while.

Oh, I see.

The silver-haired and golden-eyed foreigner, the foreigner who suddenly shot to steal his limelight, actually made him, Ozymandias, the foreigner sit on the ground in disgrace...

Really angry.

Really emotional.

Really——I couldn't help it, and shouted loudly:

"You, wait for me!"

The point of view shifts to the other side momentarily.

Eddie ignored all the eyes that were focused on him in fear or shock.

He had just arrived in this city and hadn't found a place to stay yet, so he naturally didn't want to delay here any longer, since he really didn't take those little things to heart just now.

However, it seems that some passers-by not only took it to heart, but also worried about it, and insisted on calling him.

"?"

Eddie turned his indifferent gaze, and saw a silly boy with a gray face and almost torn clothes standing up slowly, staring at him.

"For the sake of subduing the fierce horse that even I have not been able to subdue for a while, I forgive your presumptuousness, but—"

Eddie: "Boy, what the hell are you trying to say?"

"Boy": "..."

"I want to challenge you!!!"

Eddie: "..."

This kid was thrown by him just now, did he fall stupidly?

He was still in a hurry to find a place to live, and had no time to talk to passers-by.

However, just as he was about to leave, his gaze swept across the gray and purple face of the young man who had been injured from a fall, and he saw something interesting in the eyes that seemed to be familiar to him.

"Oh?"

He raised his eyebrows.

Ignoring the embarrassing appearance, this kid has leopard-like eyes.

Although it is a leopard with no teeth.

"Challenge me, are you sure?"

"Of course! As I, Ozymandi—"

A vow in the name of the Son of Pharaoh was broken before it could be spoken.

Eddie: "Okay."

Not wanting to waste time, he casually raised his hand, and hit the leopard kid on the forehead with a terrified look, who dared to flirt with him.

boom!

Pat bang!

Good - fly out, leave.

……

then.

Eddie's first encounter with a certain future pharaoh ended when the pharaoh was instantly killed by one move before he even finished saying his name.
