The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the palace hall of Uruk.

The young king sat on a high throne and drove away the attendants in the hall, leaving the vast hall empty at this time.

The setting sun fell on Gilgamesh, and the handsome facial features of the boy were cast a shadow by the folded hands.He is like a static statue, carefully carved by the most outstanding craftsmen in the world, and his quiet silhouette is as perfect as a dummy.

For a long time, until the afterglow of the setting sun was about to fade away, for a long time, the sky gradually dimmed, and for a long time, the figure of the young king was shrouded in dark shadows.

Suddenly, Gilgamesh's shoulders began to shake, and the shaking gradually became more intense, moving his entire upper body.

"...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Suddenly bursts of laughter came from the empty hall, the laughter was abrupt and weird, calm and crazy, joyful and desperate.

----------------------

Fran, who had recovered her original appearance, did not leave Uruk immediately, but joined Enkidu who was waiting in the city first.Both of them relaxed at this moment, and were buying some things in the street market, and they were going to bring them to Humbaba when they visited Humbaba.

While Fran was picking spices with great interest, people in the market suddenly began to gather in one direction.Enkidu looked forward curiously, and found that it was the servants of the palace who were gathering the crowd to read out the king's orders.

Enkidu was a little curious, so he squeezed in front of the crowd of onlookers.

After a while, Fran had already bought the spices to bring, but Enkidu came back with a strange expression.

Fran smiled and brushed Enkidu's messy long hair behind him, and asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you join in the fun?"

Enkidu shook his head and said to Fran: "The king has just issued a decree to the whole country."

Fran tilted her head and asked, "Jill? What kind of decree is it? Judging by your bad face, it can't be a decree to hunt us down, right? He's such a proud person, he shouldn't bother to do such a thing."

Enkidu looked at Fran seriously, and said: "The king issued an edict that from today onwards, he has the virginity rights of girls in the entire kingdom, and if an unmarried couple wants to successfully conclude a marriage, they must send the bride to the palace for him to examine. "

The corner of Fulan's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but curse in her heart: "This is a pervert. . .Just that kid? ' But she still controlled her emotions and asked: "This... If the husband cannot determine the bloodline of his eldest son, he may kill the first son. This kind of decree not only affects the population, but also destroys private ownership of property. This is irrational Is there no minister to advise him?"

Enkidu shook his head lightly and sighed.

Fran looked at Enkidu and asked, "What about now? Are you going to teach him a lesson, or should we go to Sugi Forest as planned?"

Enkidu thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see in Uruk first."

After a period of time, the palace did not issue any new decrees, and Fran used her previous news network to find out what was going on in the palace.After returning, he said to Enkidu with a black thread: "Okay, don't worry about that angry wedge. In the past few days, he took a look at the brides sent to the palace and sent them back. I told the valet to pay attention to those with blond hair and blue eyes, so don’t miss them. Before I left, Jill thought I was going to elope with you to get married, but I didn’t explain it. Now this child probably wants to use this decree I found out. Really, is it childish?!"

Enkidu tilted his head and asked, "Should we also elope?"

Fran responded speechlessly: "That's not the point. The point is that Gilgamesh doesn't learn well. I support you to beat up children!"

Enkidu stroked his beautiful chin thoughtfully, and said, "Gilgamesh isn't a child, he's almost an adult."

Fran waved her fist: "Then you can beat him without any scruples!"

Enkidu shrugged and said: "Since he didn't really become a fatuous tyrant, and the people didn't complain about it, then I don't need to discipline him. Let's go, let's go according to the original plan, Didn’t you say you’re going to travel to neighboring countries?”

Fran sighed: "Okay, I hope Jill can figure it out for herself. The things have been packed and we can leave at any time."

--------------------

Fran and Enkidu left Uruk and went to the Shanzhi Forest to visit Humbaba.Humbaba greeted them cheerfully, and did not feel strange or alienated from them after two years of absence.Fran is taken by Humbaba to see her newly planted flowerbed filled with morning glories.

Fran asked helplessly, "Fumbaba, didn't I give you the seeds of other flowers? Why do you still only grow morning glory?"

Fenbaba shook his head in a ignorant manner, and made a wreath from a few morning glory branches, and put it on Fran's head.Now, Humbaba is already very good at weaving the corolla. This corolla is full and beautiful, adding a bit of sweetness and vitality to Fulan's bright beauty.

Fran smiled and shook her head: "Okay, as long as you are happy."

Both Fran and Enki stayed in Shanzhi Forest for more than half a month, and then they said goodbye to Finbaba under the reluctant gaze.The real start of this planned trip.

The two started from the countries around Uruk and gradually went further afield.In this ancient era, there was no means of transportation. The two of them just walked and stopped while walking, but they also saw different scenery.

Enkidu was full of innocent curiosity like a child, and this kind of curiosity sometimes caused some minor troubles. In addition, both of them had outstanding looks and extraordinary temperament, which brought some troubles to their journey.In the end, both were cloaked and veiled so that Fran wouldn't have to keep cleaning up the mess.

A few years have passed in this purposeless trip. The two of them have seen the sunset on the sea, listened to the bard playing the piano, ate rough but fresh food from all over the world, and lived in various hotels. Wooden house and stone house.

Until one day, they met a bard in the street. He was dressed in rags, played a small xylophone, and chanted softly in the language of Uruk:

"Gilgamesh kept no sons for fathers,

Day and night, his brutality never ceased.

Is Gilgamesh the protector of Uruk with the ring city?

Is this our protector?Although he is tough, smart, and elegant!

Gilgamesh kept no daughters for mothers,

Even the daughter of a samurai, the beloved wife of a nobleman! 【1】

Namu Uru, our guardian of justice and mercy,

Where are you on such a difficult day?

. . . . "

When Fran heard such a poem, she froze on the spot.

Enkidu frowned, stepped forward and asked, "Hi, are you from Uruk?"

The ragged poet stopped his singing and became a little trembling: "My lord... are you?"

Fran stepped forward and comforted her in a soft tone: "Please don't be afraid, we have no other intentions. We are also from Uruk, but we have been away from there for several years. I can't help but hear you singing about domestic affairs. I'm here to ask you for news." Fran said while releasing harmless comforting and induced illusions on the poor man, ensuring that what he said was true and what was in his heart.

The man with a sallow complexion said tremblingly: "I am no longer from Uruk, I am a deserter, and I cannot go back to Uruk again."

Fran and Enkidu looked at each other.

Fran continued to ask: "I remember that apart from the lowest-level slave soldiers in Uruk, all free men can be discharged. Based on your education level, you should not be slaves."

The man said with a sad face, "I am not a slave, I am a nobleman."

Fran was very surprised: "I remember nobles can be exempted from military service." She looked up and down the embarrassed person in front of her, and said, "Uruk is the richest and most powerful country on this plain, and even civilians live very well. Well, how did you become like this? Did you encounter any accidents?"

The man shook his head and said: "That was in the past. Our king was also very wise when the previous Lord Namu Ulu was still there. The people of Uruk are rich and stable, and everyone is proud to be a subject of this country. " His voice was a little choked, and he continued: "But since Master Namu Ulu left his post, everything has changed. Our king is like a different person. He began to extort money, increase taxes, and collect treasures. This also That's all, Uruk is already rich, and we are willing to provide for the king's life. However, he began to issue various unreasonable decrees, and he forced a large number of civilians to build places for him to spend extravagantly. A large number of nobles joined the army to attack neighboring countries and expand the territory for him. In just a few years, the farmland was barren and the market was sluggish, but he was not happy enough."

The man hugged his head and said in pain: "He also collected all the blonde women in the country and imprisoned them in the harem. Even so, he didn't treat them well, and only used them as tools for his own pleasure. His wife, my beloved wife, was forcibly brought into the harem by him like this, and died in less than a year!"

Fran was stunned on the spot. If she hadn't been confident in her spell level, she would have thought this man was lying.

Flan murmured to herself: "How come? It's just a few short years, he wasn't like this before."

The man broke down and said: "We also doubted, even suspected that the king was cursed, but we asked God for guidance, but God did not issue a will. His Majesty Goddess Ningsun still recognizes his son. God, is the Son of God Such a tyrant?!"

Enkidu put his hands on Fran's shoulders and comforted him: "It's not your fault. You educated him to be a wise king, but he didn't do it." Enkidu said softly: "The blood of God The recovery gave him divinity, the coldness, paranoia and arrogance that resembled a god."

Fran turned her head to look at Enkidu, a little unbelievable that a creature of the gods would say such an evaluation.

Enkidu smiled softly at Fran, and then said: "If you don't feel sorry, go back and see for yourself to know the real situation." After saying this, Enkidu lowered the corners of his mouth, and his expression became serious: "If true, this is probably the time for me to fulfill my responsibility."

--------------------

The two rushed back to Uruk quickly, and only after walking outside the city did they discover that Uruk was different from before.

The originally fertile farmland was barren and overgrown with weeds, and flocks of crows were flying in the fields, bringing an inexplicable gloomy and dead air to the city.

After entering the city of Uruk, Fran's expression became more serious. The number of ordinary pedestrians on the street became much less, and all the people coming and going were bare|naked slaves carrying dirt and gravel.The vicious overseer swung a long whip, and savagely beat the slow-moving slave on the back.

The walking women were all wearing headscarves and veils, and Fran's appearance blended into it without any sense of disobedience.But Fran knew that it was the fear of these hurried women that prompted them to dress like this.

The situation in Uruk was not much different from what the poet who met by chance said. Complaints, weeping, anger, and despair enveloped this formerly prosperous and powerful city.

Enkidu's expression became more and more serious, he felt that the fateful moment had arrived, this confrontation was inevitable, and he had to shoulder his responsibility as the chain of the sky.

"I am a lock, born to punish the violent arrogance and betrayal of the gods of the Wedge of the Sky."

Fran sighed softly, and said, "Before that, please let me meet that wedge of heaven first."

She paused, and then said: "I want to know, in the eyes of an isolated life that is neither human nor god, what does this world look like?!"
