Did the witch get her wish today?
Chapter 23
"It's just? An ordinary human who hates gods very much." Lilium shrugged, "Although the hometown is not here, the current one is considered a citizen of Uruk."
It took her a few minutes to briefly explain her background to everyone.
Unfortunately?, although the people of Chaldea have been to many ages, still no one has heard of the World Government or? The Great Sea Route.
However, as a doctor, Romani Aqiman is very interested in the "platinum lead disease" in her body.
"It sounds like? Heavy metal poisoning, but heavy metal poisoning in our world doesn't have such obvious symptoms, let alone? Accumulate in the body and pass it on to the next generation?"
The small bracelet projected a screen in the void, and a young man with orange hair and a ponytail was sitting on the other side of the screen.
"Inner symptoms are? Yes? But if? Really? In this way, the lady should..."
He frowned, and suddenly fell silent.
But Lilium knew what the other party wanted to say.
"I shouldn't live this long, right?"
The girl stretched out her right hand, and the white color stretched from the fingertips all the way, and she couldn't see a little bit of her original skin color for a long time.
"You are right. There is no cure for patients with platinum-lead disease. If they are lucky, they will probably be able to live for another two or three years."
However, she is a "blessed" human being who has already left the realm of common sense.
"This has something to do with what Miss Anna has been caring about just now, the breath on my body." Lilium slowly clenched her hands into fists, looked at the protruding joints, and raised the corners of her mouth. "Sometimes the god's blessing is not? What a good thing. To me, it's more like a curse."
The room suddenly fell into silence.
"As for this god? Who, what is the reason for my illness? What? What..."
"Lily." Siduri suddenly interrupted the young girl's words as if she was talking to herself, "Let's stop here for this topic. Aren't you? Do you still want to report the battle situation on the north wall to the king?"
"..."
Lilium looked at the chief priest standing not far from her, and laughed.
"I think so too."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the guests sitting on the bench: "Sorry, just like what Siduri said, is this topic still? Let's stop here. Otherwise, if someone finds out, they will say that I am? 'Undead bound by the past'."
"In that case, then I'll-"
"Stop." The moment the white-robed youth got up and moved towards the door, Lilium stood in front of him with a smile. "Just now I called myself a teacher, why do you want to leave now? I have a bunch of questions waiting for you to answer, 'teacher'."
"Eh--?!"
Without waiting for someone to use his escape method, relying on the fact that she was about the same height as the other party, the girl grabbed him by the collar.
"See you later, Siduri."
Saying goodbye to the priestess she had befriended with, Lilium dragged Merlin, who was still moaning, to the palace.
After so many days of fishing by performing missions, you still want to go to a tavern in the city to drink and have fun?There are no doors?!
In the next two to two months, following the king's order, Siduri would often go to the magicians from Chaldea with requests from some residents.
When going to the town, Lilium would also say hello to Mash and Lixiang, and they became acquainted with the two after going back and forth, and heard a lot of interesting things.
For example, Fufu, who often followed them, was actually Merlin's pet before, and she hated her former owner very much.
...Even pets are like this, how much failure does Merlin have?
"Merlin is? A magician who combined all the hypocrisy in this world."
As a lone follower, Miss Anna who was "tricked" by him back from the outside said so?
But despite being scolded by so many people, Merlin still did something useful.For example, this time, when he was ordered to search for the clay version and bring back a visitor from Chaldea, he met the boy who was exactly the same as Enkidu.
As a magician who is good at illusion, he truthfully showed Lilium the situation at that time.
It was also the replay of this scene that convinced the young girl of her own thoughts.
Even with the same powers and seemingly identical bodies, the boy was not Enkidu.
But... how did he appear in this world?
The answer was not fully revealed until Fujimaru Tachika and his party began to split the alliance of the three goddesses, and the last pillar of goddesses surfaced.
"Enkidu's body is not in the underworld."
The soul was forcibly pulled to the underworld, and Gilgamesh King, who experienced "death from overwork", said to Lilium after waking up.
That body is indeed the heavenly lock made by the gods, but inside it is a brand new soul.Someone made a new weapon based on the body of Enkidu, the god-made clay puppet.
And this newborn, so to speak, is the existence of the successor of Enkidu, calling himself "Golden Gu".
"Also, your guess is right?"
Just as Lilium had suspected, Ish Tal was not a member of the Alliance of Three Goddesses.The real alliance with the other two pillars is Eresh Kigal who descended on the same body as one body and two pillars.
Entrenched in the north, the goddess who claims to be Tiamat is actually the famous Gorgon in Greek mythology, not a Sumerian god.
Fujimaru Tachika deserves to be the existence that can change the situation of the battle in the prophecy. After obtaining the consent of Gilgamesh, they first used money to buy Ish Tal, and then with the feathered snake god Quetzat of the southern jungle. Coyatel fought and won.He also stepped into the underworld alone, not only bringing back the king's soul, but also persuading Eresh Kigal, who didn't want to destroy the world, to let the "Three Goddess Alliance" exist in name only.
"Now the two pillars of the Three Goddess Alliance have turned their backs, and the only ones left are the Warcraft Goddess Gorgon and Jin Gu."
The battle seems to be in sight.
But they were completely wrong, very wrong.
That day, in order to resist the group of demonic beasts that were fighting after Gorgon was injured and escaped, Lilium still opened the barrier and put the north wall under protection.
Fujimaru Tachika and his entourage led the other main forces, chasing the escaped Gorgon all the way to the opponent's lair, and they won't win until they defeat the goddess and obtain the Holy Grail.
"No... not good! These are? What? What... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
"Monster!! Monster——!!!"
"Help! Run away!!!!"
However, Lilium, who was lying quietly in the underground temple and concentrating on maintaining the barrier, "heard" that the originally lively city was filled with screams and cries, and "saw" a large number of unknown monsters suddenly appearing,
They have a completely different appearance from humans, with sharp limbs and extremely fast running.Although it doesn't eat people, it takes pleasure in slaughtering humans.Although the soldiers defending the city had experience in dealing with monsters, they were helpless in the face of these things.
After a while, the entire city of Uruk fell.
How long did the monsters' attack last? After Fujimaru Tatsuka and his party returned, they? Like? Received some order? They withdrew from Uruk in large numbers.
Although Gorgon was defeated, Fujimaru and the others were deceived by Jin Gu and awakened the real god Tiamat.
Those monsters that suddenly appeared were the new species that the Goddess used her power to create to replace the old humans——Lahem.
And now, when the end comes, Uruk is destroyed, and there are only two days left.
Now there are only a few hundred people left in the city, and Lilium is one of the few people who can still maintain order.She didn't even have time to cherish the memory of her lost partner. After Fujimaru Tachika left, she quickly threw herself into a new job, constantly rushing between the sacrificial grounds, the witches' house and the soldiers' camp, accurately conveying the king's instructions to others. people.
Although two days is short, there are many things that can be encountered.
For example, she saw the giant Tiamat himself rising from the sea level and turning the sea black. For example, after successfully blocking the black mud from rushing to Uruk, everyone held a battle meeting with the returning Fujimaru Tachika .
For another example, on the eve of the decisive battle, I sensed that familiar yet unfamiliar existence through the enchantment.
When she came back to her senses, she had already come to the vicinity of the Sky Hill, and saw the figure curled up on the high platform and the King of Gold walking towards him from a distance.
The other party seemed to be seriously injured, so weak that he couldn't even stand up, and he didn't even notice her existence.
...why? Why is Jin Goo here?
Lilium clenched her staff tightly. The decisive battle is tomorrow. Now the city has long been empty. Nothing, the ballista erected by the king and the Napistine Fang that blocked the tide of black mud stood quietly in place. , waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
She clearly knew that she shouldn't be standing here, but she still? Wanted to? Walk forward... Wanted to see that person one more time?.
The two were talking about something, and the familiar body gradually disintegrated, and then, Gilgamesh threw the golden cup in his hand to the boy who fell on the ground.
The golden light enveloped the decayed body, the green-haired boy suddenly raised his head, and looked in the direction he was in!
Lilium's heart skipped a beat, and her feet moved naturally.
She couldn't care less about anything else, and fled the scene in embarrassment.
In the silent tower, the sound of the girl? The girl? running hit the wall, echoing hollowly.
It wasn't until Lilium stopped, panting slightly, that she realized that she had actually run into the main hall where Gilgamesh normally resided.
"...What are you doing? What..."
She felt speechless for a while about the work habits that had been carved into her bones, and she was so irritable that she simply put the cane aside and sat down against the pillar.
After days of work, the restoration of Napistine's teeth, and the maintenance of the barrier of the tower, even the young girls felt a little tired.
But Lilium didn't hate this feeling, it would be better to say that she was so immersed in her work that she had no time to care about the whispers in her head.
Familiar footsteps could be heard beside my ears. The only person who could come to the tower at this time was? That person.
"...I'm back." The girl hugged her knees with her hands, buried her face in her knees, and reported her work today sullenly. "The remaining dozens of citizens in the city have already packed their bags, and the soldiers are repairing Napistine's tooth."
"Ah, thank you for your hard work."
Did you see the king? Lilium didn't move when she pursued her disrespectful posture, and continued: "The north wall is gone? The infestation of monsters, but considering those monsters called Rahemu, I will shrink the barrier and carry out It has been strengthened. Although it will not be able to completely surround it by then, the defensive performance has improved."
"Is that so? That's right, let's evacuate the barrier on Nabistin's Fang, and you will escort the rest of the citizens to evacuate tomorrow."
"……Oh."
The hall fell into silence for a while.
"I... used to envy you very much..."
His eyes were plunged into pitch blackness, maybe because this was his last chance, Lilium suddenly became more courageous.
"He... Enkidu he, used to call you 'the star.' I heard stories about you every day in the forest."
It was quiet in her ears, didn't she? Hear the man's response.
"You changed him."
Something spread out and wet the dress in front of her.
"Why? Why did you run away just now?"
Lilium laughed and said, "Because I can't do it." Her voice trembled slightly, "I can't distinguish them so clearly. The first time I look at him, I will definitely go Follow the shadows of the past."
"...too cunning, I don't like that."
Maybe Gilgamesh is right, she is just an undead bound by the past from beginning to end, not a "human" at all.
"I used to...hate you."
Because he is the one who understands Enkidu best, is his best friend and the witness of his death.
Even because of this man's actions, she lost the chance to see him for the last time?
And that journey of seeking immortality also brought disaster to the former Uruk.
"Oh? It seems that your hatred is quite cheap, after all, this king doesn't feel it at all."
The voice with a smile was right above her head, she opened her hazy eyes, and looked up at the man standing in front of her.Through the tears, his expression seemed to reveal a trace of tenderness.
Lilium raised the corners of her mouth: "...I didn't hate it very early on."
Because those who are left behind will bear more burdens.
Enkidu died under the curse of God. Teba, who had brought her to know the whole city of Uruk, died in battle.
Everyone is gone.
But he is still here, in this empty city.
Lilium clenched her lower lip, raised her head, and tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
She likes this city, likes those partners who accepted her without any grievances, and deeply misses the beautiful green in the forest.
Therefore, when watching these disappear, you will feel sad and reluctant.
So...as the guide, the stars, the king who is loved by all?
"But I...still? Miss them..."
Girls and girls? I can't go on anymore.She closed her eyes, choked with sobs and hugged her knees tightly, leaning against the cold stone pillar, letting the grief that had been suppressed for a long time drown herself.
And the bearer in her mouth didn't? He flew into a rage, let alone spoke sarcasm.
He just stood quietly in front of the young girl, listening to her thin cries in silence until the last trace of night disappeared.
The final battle has begun.
It took her a few minutes to briefly explain her background to everyone.
Unfortunately?, although the people of Chaldea have been to many ages, still no one has heard of the World Government or? The Great Sea Route.
