Chapter 153 Gilgamesh Extra Story

In the city-state of Uruk, Jill is a well-known child.

According to the custom of Babylon, in order to pray for a good harvest, a baby must be killed every year as a sacrifice to the gods.And if the parents can't do it, they will throw the child off the cliff in the valley.

Jill was the chosen baby that year, because children with parents couldn't bear to kill their own children, and he was just an abandoned baby discovered by the Uruk defenders.

But when people threw him off the cliff, a big eagle came and rescued him.

It hung Jill on its back, flew to high altitude, and then placed it in the courtyard of a resident. ①People said it was God's will, so the family raised him.

The whole city-state knows the story, even Jill himself.However, he really has no sense of reality about the fact that he once faced death at birth.Because his adoptive parents regard his arrival as a blessing from God, and have always loved him very much.

God's favor?

Little Jill doesn't know much about the gods who are almost everywhere in mortal life.He only knew that his parents would take him to the temple to pray to the goddess Inanna every day.

He had heard many stories about the goddess Inanna. In those stories, she was sometimes gentle and beautiful, and sometimes violent and terrifying. As far as Jill was concerned, he felt that the goddess was vengeful, greedy, and restless. ③ However, he likes the priests in the temple.

The priest named Endar.

He didn't know where she came from, and the whole Uruk didn't know who her parents were. She wandered from a foreign country and was chosen as a priest by the temple because of her beauty.

It is said that the high priest chose her as a noble priestess, so she was given the word "en" in her name.

In Uruk, the word "en" is the name of priests and priest leaders.

Using this word as a name, one can imagine the high priest's expectations for her.

When she becomes an adult, she will serve as a substitute for the goddess Inanna, and hold a "holy marriage ceremony" with the king who is the substitute of the goddess' husband, in order to bestow the divine right bestowed by the gods on the king, declaring that his rule has been permitted and recognized by the gods.

Because the mission is extremely important, she must strictly guard her virginity, keep pure and innocent, and not be touched by men.

She was wrapped in a white gauze.And under the veil covered with gold beads and silver pendants, a head of black hair was as thick and as black as the night, soft and moist like satin, draped over the shoulders and waist.

She was covered with a veil, only a pair of clear brown eyes shining like stars in a summer night.When looking at people, it's as if someone is holding a torch, tormenting and burning in people's hearts.

When facing her, men's hearts are always full of heat, but their hands and feet are weak.

So she rarely looks directly at others.

Endal always bowed her head docilely, and when people came to pray, she stood beside the statue, like the incarnation of a goddess.

Her long eyelashes are like the wings of a butterfly, and when people see her trembling slightly, her heart will soften.

When people finished praying and came to say goodbye to her, they could clearly see that her hands and feet were covered with red paint with complicated and gorgeous patterns, which were used to warn mortals of her noble status and also represented the gods. , drew a restriction on her body.

She is untouchable.

She is the wife of God.

She is a dream that mortals can only look at from afar throughout their lives.

But she would smile at Jill.

She will quietly tell him that she has her own name called "".She is from the Far East, but the priest forbade her to use her original name, and named her Endar.

The intersection between him and her came from a "holy marriage" ceremony.

In addition to the holy marriage ceremony at the king's coronation ceremony to declare the legality of the king, there are many holy marriages held in Uruk every year.

The purpose of these holy marriages is different, some are to pray for a good harvest on the earth, some are to pray for the king, some are to seek an heir for the throne, some are because of the inauguration of the priest, some are to practice Inanna's theocracy, some are long-term love songs, or as a royal family. The love song of court poetry. ④ That holy marriage was because of the inauguration of the priest—that is, the next generation of "En", and Endar became a priest.

The whole of Uruk fell into a carnival, and holy marriage was originally one of the grandest celebrations.Jill was also brought out by her parents, and people flocked to the temple, where there were already many prostitutes waiting for the arrival of the men.

During the carnival, Jill lost the figure of her parents in an instant.When he was standing in the crowd blankly, someone grabbed the hem of his clothes and pulled him out of the crowd.

He turned around and saw a girl standing behind him.

Her face was covered with a pitch-black jackal mask, and her hands were covered with red patterns.

That was the first time he and Endal met.

She is two or three years older than him. When they first met, both of them were children who hadn't grown up yet, but now, she has grown into an exceptionally slender figure.

She can already be described as a girl, but he is still just a child.

This fact made Jill a little frustrated. He sat beside her and let her touch him docilely.

She couldn't be touched by men, so she always took off her veil and put it over Jill's head before touching his hair.

There was a faint fragrance on her veil, which made Jill a little shy.

His blond hair was soft and silky, as soft as the finest wool.

Sometimes he wondered, did Endar treat him as a pet?For example, treating him as her own lamb?

But Jill liked her very much.

He looked at her through the hazy white gauze, the girl's bright smile was more dazzling than any treasure.

Even if she just likes him like a little lamb, he is still willing to stay by her side.

As long as she is still willing to touch him and kiss him.

But as a noble "en", Endal is very busy every day.

She always had to sneak out to be with him for a little while, and then had to go back.Every time before leaving, she would bend down, through the gauze, and gently touch his cheek with her soft lips.Then he lifted the veil on his head, as if the groom lifted the bride's veil on the wedding night, smiled sweetly, and put the veil back on his own head.

At that time, Jill was still young, and she felt that even touching and kissing with a veil was not against God's will.

It wasn't until later that he grew up that he realized that being able to feel the isolation of her warm breath and soft touch was nothing.

"You gotta grow up, Jill."

She always said that, with a soft tone like a sigh.

But how can I grow up faster?

What kind of identity do you need to stand beside the noble priest who is "en"?

In the city-state of Uruk, only warriors are regarded as noble men worthy of admiration.

He began to learn to fight, and met countless partners, becoming a leader.

As he grew older, everyone praised him as tall and powerful as a buffalo.They say he bears arms like no other, and that he has a drum that summons the multitude, and that if it be struck, countless companions will rise to their feet. ⑤ People began to say, could it be that Hercules gave Jill strength?Could it be that the god Shemash granted him a beautiful face?Could it be that Adat bestowed him with majestic beauty, and the great gods made him so strong, intelligent, and elegant? ⑥But this is not enough.

Endal was almost an adult, and the thought of her being sent to the holy wedding chamber with the aging king made him angry and unbearable.

As if Heaven responded to his wrath, the king died in battle with Kish.

But Kish's king, Enme Balagesi, also suspended the war due to old age and serious illness. His son Aga sent envoys to demand Uruk's surrender.

Uruk, without a leader, could only set up two city-state deliberative groups composed of nobles and common people.

The people said that we should elect a new king, hold a grand holy marriage, and pray for the blessing of the goddess Inanna to lead us to win the war.

"No one is more suitable than Gilgamesh!"

That's what people said, putting him on the throne.

When he was bathed in the flowers thrown at him by the people and stood in front of the temple, the radiant girl appeared in full costume surrounded by the prostitutes.

Her face was shrouded in a cloud-like white veil, only those eyes, containing a gentle smile, fell far away on his handsome face.

He could finally take off the dress that wrapped her body, and touch her soft and warm skin and delicate body without any hindrance.

The fragrance of her body has been lingering in his dreams since he was a teenager, and now he can finally hold her in his arms.

It's just that the new king is still a young man. Although his physique has surpassed all the strong men in the world, he still doesn't know the tricks between men and women in bed.

He was still as ignorant as a child in this matter, but it was one of the duties of the priest to teach the new king.

The girl taught the new king how to become a real man from a boy.

After mating, the boy named Jill became the king recognized by the goddess.

People cheered his name.The people shouted, O Gilgamesh, our king, there is none stronger than you, be our protector of Uruk!

On that day, the boy named Jill suddenly understood something——

Only the king can have it all.

All the treasures in this world should belong to the king.

And he is the king.

……

After repelling Kish's attack, Gilgamesh's position became more and more stable and unshakable.But his arrogance and cruelty became more and more unbearable for the people.

He tried his best to recruit labor and build the city wall of Uruk without giving people a chance to breathe, which caused public resentment and hardship.

He insulted the priest, and often forced her into the palace when the holy marriage ceremony was not held, and was not allowed to be returned to the temple.

He waged wars, searched for all the treasures in the world, and made the people suffer unspeakably.

The people cried out to the god Anu.God Anu heard the cry, so he summoned the great god Aluru and said: "Go, imitate a hero who can defeat Gilgamesh, let them fight, and make Uruk stable and free from harassment!"⑦ Thus Enkidu was born.

His hair was thick and tangled, curly like waves, long and thick, like animal fur, covering his whole body.

He is full of wildness, has no home, grazes with antelopes, and lives with wild animals.

A hunter first met him in the wild and feared him as a barbarian.He decides to go to Uruk to find Gilgamesh, the invincible hero, for help.

When the young and arrogant king heard this, he laughed loudly, "Go, go to my beloved priest and ask her to give you a prostitute. When he makes friends with the prostitute, the beasts in the mountains will abandon him .Women can always make a man docile, no matter what beast he is!"

The hunter went to the temple as promised and asked to see the priest.The famous priest who had won the favor of the king appeared in person.

I saw that her face was still covered with a veil, and her eyes were tender and tender like spring water. When people took a look at her, they couldn't stop their hearts from beating wildly.

I just heard her say: "If what you say is true, if he has the same power as Jill, like the Anu elf, I will go with you personally."

The king, who was feasting in the palace, learned of the news the next day.

The furious king ordered his warriors out of the city to pursue, but the priests and hunters had already gone away.
