Did the witch get her wish today?

It has to be said that after staying in Uruk with Enkidu, Lilium's standard of living has undergone a qualitative change.

This is also of course, after all, it is a town built by humans.No matter how ancient it is, it is still better than a deserted wilderness where monsters haunt and there is no open flame.

Due to her physical condition, the girl could not wander around the town as often as Enkidu.However, the waiters and priests in the palace treated her well, probably because of the influence of Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

Having recovered her memory, she is no longer like a rootless duckweed, wandering illusoryly outside the crowd.Although the grief for the past is still buried in my heart, at least I have the real feeling that my feet are on the ground.

"Hmm... this phone bug sounds quite interesting."

"Hey—it's shell looks like this."

The two voices pulled the girl's thoughts back from the memory to reality. At this moment, she was holding a small wooden stick in her hand, sitting in front of a sandy field, and was introducing some hometown to the pair of "good brothers" who were fighting to shake the world. s things.

Yes, good brother.

Lilium lived here for less than ten days, and saw the two address each other from "Puppet" and "King Gilgamesh" to "Enkidu" and "Gil".

People who were supposed to be incompatible with each other have become friends, and there are signs that this friendship is gradually deepening.

... Boys' friendships are really hard to understand.

"Yes, but the phone bug is a living thing, so it cannot survive in some harsh environments." The girl lowered her head and simply drew those wonderful snails on the sand with a small stick in her hand. "I heard from my father that these things on the shells were put on them by breeders, and there are no wild phone bugs."

"I see, with this wonderful creature, even humans can talk at the same time at a distance, ha! What an interesting world!"

Lilium quietly raised her head. The blond-haired and red-eyed king looked very excited, and even showed a childish smile.

Gilgamesh not only has a bad temper and bad speech, but it is said that before Enkidu came to Uruk, his deeds were indeed worthy of the word "tyrant".

After recovering his memory, he would often come to him to chat about otherworldly things, most of which were about humanities, customs and geography, but never mentioned the tragedy of her hometown.I don't know whether to say that this person is self-centered or compassionate.

But now, such a king, who is feared by everyone, sits with Enkidu in front of the sand like an ordinary person, listening to her tell some boring stories about the sea, and even asks questions, or publishes two words. Sentence your own feelings.

For a while, the lonely and cruel tyrant in the rumors also seemed easy-going in Lilium's eyes.

However, she is quite hard on this type of work.If it is not necessary, I will probably avoid the King of Gold directly.

"King, so you are here."

Just when Lilium was about to continue speaking, a woman wearing a green dress and a black veil covering her face hurriedly walked in from the door.

"The priests of the temple have arrived, please go to the main hall."

The woman's name is Siduri, and she is a priest who assists Gilgamesh.Although she is a priest, she is different from the arrogant god messengers who came to see her. She is very humble and polite, and she is a gentle woman like an elder sister.

Even Lilium, who was of unknown origin, covered in freckles and suffered from chronic illnesses, was treated politely by Siduri.

"Tsk... Didn't this king tell those guys all about it, yet he dared to come to Uruk shamelessly?"

"Since the other party is here, let's go and listen." Enkidu, who was dressed in white, stood up first, "Is Lily a little tired?"

"Yes, Wang, it's not too late to continue talking next time when I have time." The priestess in green bent down and helped her up. "Let the child rest well today."

"Thank you, Lilium."

After the two left, facing the Priestess' thanks, the girl lowered her eyes: "I'm just sitting here and telling the king about my hometown. It's not very tiring. Siduri is the one who has to deal with a lot of business, right?"

"Yeah, after all, Wang has a new interest recently." Siduli admitted it openly, and looked up at the two people who had gone away. "I still want to thank Lord Enkidu. Since he came, the king... has also undergone some changes."

He has become easy-going, right? Even the young maids who are usually in charge of chores are whispering about the change of this uncle, and Lilium can't help but know.

So how scary was he before? !

"However, I was shocked. When I heard that you are not from this world, I still couldn't believe it..." Siduli looked down at the painting on the sand, "I didn't expect that there are human beings who can travel through time and space, to other worlds."

The girl took a deep breath, "This is not something I can do on my own." She gently twisted the branches with her fingers, and the white lump of platinum-lead disease had spread to the whole hand. "I'm curious, don't gods have such ability?"

"This……"

Her question obviously caught the priestess in front of her, probably because it involved a god. Through the veil, Lilium could see that the other party's smile was full of embarrassment.

"The gods also have their own obligations and functions that need to be fulfilled. As a priest, I cannot judge this, sorry."

"It's okay, I'm just asking."

After all, in the world she lives in, there are no so-called gods who can manifest themselves in front of the world and save the weak.

However, the gods of Uruk didn't seem to be particularly appreciative of the thriving human beings.

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly felt a little funny.

"In my hometown... there is a very magical fruit."

As she said that, she took a slow step and came to the window together with the woman beside her.

"People who eat it will gain various abilities. Some people can turn into animals, some people can turn into elements, or even other things."

There was no trace of haze in the sky of Uruk, which reminded Lilium of the blue sky she had seen on the deck.

"But...after eating this fruit, people who gain strange powers will be expelled from the sea forever. Well, to put it simply, they cannot swim."

The girl looked at the endless plain and the small civilians in the distance who were living their own lives.Unlike Frevans and the North Sea, this place has a vast land.She threw the branch in her hand from the window.

"That's why we all call it 'Devil Fruit'."

Siduri beside her didn't speak, and Lilium didn't look at her, but just stared at a certain point in the distance.

"It's ironic, isn't it? In the end, it's not the 'god' that gives power to humans, but the fruit of the 'devil'."

"... Lilium..."

"Why are people who eat this fruit driven out by the sea?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from below the window, and immediately after, a long green haired head appeared on the window sill in front of Lilium.

"En...! Your Excellency Enkidu?!"

"Hello, Siduri."

The young man smiled, and jumped onto the window sill lightly. Lilium noticed that he was still holding a twig in his hand.

"...Didn't you go to the palace with King Gilgamesh?"

"Because the person here is the emissary of Aluru, so I'm back." Saying that, the green-haired beauty handed the branch to Lilium. "Here, don't drop it again."

In fact, Lilium didn't understand the causal relationship, but she didn't have much interest in asking, so she just took the insignificant wooden branch.

"So, why are people who eat devil fruits expelled by the sea?"

The girl and Enkidu, who was sitting on the window sill, looked at each other for a while, then smiled helplessly: "It's just a legend, because the fruit is cursed by the devil, so whoever eats it will be expelled by the sea and unable to swim."

Although she doesn't go out of the town very much, she also knows that even the world government cannot penetrate the secret of the fruit.In addition, there seems to be a special illustrated book that records the types of fruits in the world.

"Hmm...but I've actually seen a capable person before."

"Eh? Really?"

Now, even Siduri became curious.

"I met pirates when I was a child." Lilium staggered her position slightly, came to Enkidu's side, and leaned against the window sill. "My parents... died at the hands of those pirates. Fortunately, I was rescued by the navy before being taken to the slave market."

"At that time, beside the old hero, there was a very powerful ability user."

The tall, uncle-looking navy, who kept claiming that he was only 22, froze the big ship of the pirates and blocked their escape route by himself.

Thanks to him, the children who were taken hostage by pirates were able to be rescued without injury in a short period of time.

Well... Although the ice is very cold, remember that time when I seemed to be caught cold?

"Eh—so that's it, it's the ability to freeze...sounds very interesting." After listening to Lilium's narration, Enkidu blinked. "But for the time being, it's still within the scope of human beings, the capable users of your world."

"It's pretty strong for me."

Yes, for her.As for Enkidu and Gilgamesh...

There is no comparison.

Speaking of which, she was almost kidnapped in the town, and she was saved thanks to that guy... At that time, he seemed to have become a lieutenant general?

I don't know how Mr. Kuzan, who looks very unmotivated, is doing now, is he working hard...?

"Lily?"

"Huh? Ah! I'm sorry, sorry, I remembered something from the past..."

Lilium came back to her senses, and saw that the beauty like a flower had already brought her face close to her.

She can even see her own reflection in the other person's eyes.

"...uh... the past."

The girl subconsciously stepped back, but the window was already behind her, and she had nowhere to go, so she could only lean back.

Enkidu opened his eyes and looked at her carefully: "Mmm... Lily."

"what happened?"

Her heart beat suddenly a little faster.

The beautiful weapon suddenly revealed a smile like the brilliance of a spring day.

"Let's go to the town and have a look!"
