I, Son of Tiamat

"Why am I still alive..." Edith muttered to herself.

"Because you're not from their side, you didn't betray the gods." Semiramis said with a jade hand.

"...Wait, didn't Edith cut the bottle containing the poison? Why wasn't I poisoned to death?" Edith asked, looking at the shards of the bottle that fell on the ground.

"Because there is no poison in it at all." Edith replied in a low voice, she walked towards her sluggish mother Edith, and then pulled her to kneel down to Semiramis.

Edith, who was stunned, let her daughter pull and knelt down with her toward Semiramis, but...she seemed to have lost her strength and leaned on Editha's shoulders.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." Itisha, who lowered her eyes, said softly.

"What's the guilt? Didn't you just block the bottle for me? It should be a reward, so get up." Semiramis waved his hand.

"But, my mother treated you like that just now..."

"Edith." Semiramis interrupted Edith's words. She looked at Edith, whose eyes were dim, and said softly, "Look at your mother, she's gone."

"?!" Itisa looked at her mother, who was leaning on her body, in astonishment.

The eyes are dim, the face is pale, and there is no breath... This is a sign of death.

Just now, Itisha thought that her mother was leaning on her to kneel down, but she was only frightened to the point where her hands and feet were weak.

Semiramis looked at Itiza, who was trembling, and said softly, "I think it was because of her emotional ups and downs that she saw the phantom of the goddess of the underworld with her own eyes, and was scared to death."

"..."

"Go, go and bury her, remember to bring jewelry and wealth, so that she will have money leading to the seven gates of the underworld after she descends to the underworld."

"……Yes."

There was a slight trembling in Edith's voice, sobbing and crying, she picked up her mother's body and walked towards the gate of the palace.

She hugged Edith and walked past Kish's Agana mummy. She didn't give her a single glance to the titular father.

Lamasu hurriedly shrank her figure and asked Itisha to leave the palace gate.

"Mistress, what to do with these corpses?" asked the white dove standing on the head of the golden-horned white cow.

"Except for Kish's Aga, all the other corpses have been cleaned up." Semiramis waved his hand.

"What about Kish's Aga?"

"Pull it down and save it first, and then you, white pigeon, follow Edith, and ask Edith at the right time to see what she wants to do with her father's body."

"Yes!"

The troubles on Semiramis' side have been resolved, but the troubles on Nanaye's side continue...

Qiye left from Rin's house. He just visited Rin's mother and younger sister Sakura. Their mother and daughter are doing okay.

After all, I don't know that Rin has become the carrier of Ishtar's reliance. Now the only people who know how Rin is are Qiye and Siduri. The rest of the priests died in the seance ceremony. middle.

Originally, Qiye planned to tell them about Rin's situation, but... Seeing their smiles, Qiye couldn't say anything, so he could only leave helplessly.

I'll keep Rin's affairs a secret from them for now, and talk about it later.

What if Rin came back before they knew about Rin's situation!

So don't worry! Take it easy!

In fact, after Ishtar relies on the priest Rin, it is not permanent. As long as Ishtar touches the rely, then the priest Rin will return to the original.

perhaps……

After leaving Rin's house, Qiye came to the Uruk Palace. He looked at the pile of clay tablets, and instantly had the urge to turn into sea water and escape.

Because there are too many mud slabs piled up here.

After discovering Qiye's figure, Siduri, who was handling the clay tablet, hurriedly pointed to the clay tablet placed aside, "Lord Sage, come and deal with these first, these are all related to the situation of the beast attack, very serious, continue. We sent soldiers to support."

"I... how about I go get Jill back?" Qiye said with a reluctant smile.

"No! Now King Gilgamesh doesn't know where he flew to. If you leave, Uruk will have no one to manage!"

"Hey, little pigeon, where are you, I miss you so much." Qiye whimpered slightly. He misses his wife very much now. If she was here, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

Helpless, helpless, things must be resolved, so Qiye had to start to deal with the more important clay tablets, and Qiye, who was dealing with the clay tablets, said, "Siduri, why are you the only one dealing with the other priests? ?"

"Originally, everyone shared the clay tablet affairs for the king together, but the king suddenly said something like 'dividing the gods', and then they quarreled. In the end, the king beat everyone out, and they still didn't need them. Wang can handle it by himself."

"..." Qiye fell silent,

Damn it!

This Gilgamesh beat the priests out, and said big things that he handled alone, and now he has to help him handle these matters!

"...Siduri, hurry up and call everyone back now, how could it be possible for the two of us to solve this pile of clay tablets quickly!"

"By the way, let the soldiers go to the north of Uruk to find my Babylonian priests and nobles, and ask them to come to the Uruk Palace. They probably have already dealt with the housing issue of the Babylonian residents and are free."

"Understood." Siduri immediately put down the clay tablet in her hand and hurriedly left the palace.

After Siduri left with her front feet, Gilgamesh stepped in with her hind feet. As soon as Qiye saw Gilgamesh's figure, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Jill, are you alright?"

"Of course this king is fine, it's just that there is something wrong with the golden ark... I was scratched at the tail by Ishtar's artillery bombardment, and I was tossed by this king just now, and now it almost fell apart, and I don't know how long it will take to repair it. Good." Gilgamesh smacked his lips.

"What about Ishtar?"

"I don't know, she seems to know that she knows she can't win against this king, so she ran away like a mouse with its tail caught." Gilgamesh shook his head and said.

"Speaking of which, it's really strange. This king has clearly divided the gods. Why does Ishtar still appear, and his hair color has changed."

"I know, but I'll tell you after you've dealt with this pile of things." Qiye pointed to the clay tablets stacked in the palace.

"What a big thing, this king doesn't want to know yet, now you come with me in Qiye."

"Where are you going? You didn't see a lot of things."

With a wry smile, Qiye pointed to the clay tablet in front of him and said, "Those monsters have been attacking the soldiers on the 'Beast Front' on a large scale since this morning. We must send soldiers to drive and kill the monsters in order to establish a smooth establishment. Stand up."

"That's even more correct, because this king wants you to come with this king, first summon the shadow of the hero [Servant], and then let them deal with those monsters and protect the people over there to build a line of defense." Gilgamesh explained.

"No, this is too slow, and there is no guarantee. After all, we don't know whether the summoned Servant is willing to help us, so I think we will send the soldiers there first." Qiye retorted.

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable."

"Then come up and dispose of these piled up clay tablets." Nanye pointed to the vacant throne next to him.

Gilgamesh sat back on his own throne. He glanced sideways at Qiye, who was sitting next to him. Time seemed to return to the past. At that time, Qiye was only the sage of Uruk. Leave Uruk for Kish.

At that time, the two of them were like this, sitting on their respective thrones and dealing with Uruk's affairs.

"What are you doing standing still? Did you hurt your head when you fought with Ishtar just now?"

"You just hurt your head." Gilgamesh scolded with a smile, and then he put away his memories and began to deal with Uruk's affairs with Nanye.

Looking at the contents of the tablet, Gilgamesh frowned, because the matter was more serious than he imagined.

"The clay tablet said that the monsters began to form in groups and regularly attacked the 'absolute monster front' that was being built, as if..."

"It's as if someone was giving them an order from behind." Nanye, who was looking at the clay tablet in his hand, said what Gilgamesh wanted to say.

"That's right, the demon beasts are in groups and attacking in batches. This is so abnormal, it's as if someone is commanding them from behind." Gilgamesh nodded.

"Do you still remember when the monster group attacked my daughter?" Qiye said casually.

"Remember, you said that Deketo was attacked by a group of monsters. At that time, there was a half-human, half-scorpion scorpion who claimed to be the 'son of Tiamat', and a giant who was suspected to be the 'giant sun Ugar'. lion."

"Well, so I suspect that they are controlling this group of monsters behind their backs, so these monsters will attack everyone who has established the defense line so regularly." Qiye said calmly.

"Send more soldiers to support first, and the entire Uruk Kingdom must be surrounded by barriers to prevent monsters from breaking into Uruk and hurting everyone and destroying buildings."

"As expected of Qiye, this king also planned to do so."

Gilgamesh's words... are they praising Nanye or himself? ?

Afterwards, Siduri led a large group of priests and nobles to the Uruk Palace. Those people were not only the priests and nobles of Uruk, but also the priests and nobles who followed Qiye and came from the Kingdom of Babylon.

Under the great crisis facing Mesopotamia facing the invasion of monsters, the Uruks and the Babylonians worked together.

Although there are various disasters faced, the situation is still very urgent.

During the time when Seven Nights and Gilgamesh were dealing with affairs, the group of beasts began to speed up their attacks on the northern cities as if they had received an order.

Under the attack of those tireless monsters, in just half a day, all the remaining kingdoms and cities in the upper northern part of Mesopotamia were captured and turned into ruins.

Oh... Except for Nippur, because its geographical location is relatively close to the absolute monster front line that is being established, it is supported by the soldiers of Uruk and Babylon, so it is lucky not to be destroyed by the monster group.

The surviving humans fled to Uruk, the safest place now, and Seven Nights and Gilgamesh also accepted this group of surviving humans.

Afterwards, the news about the monster group spread from their frightened mouths.

In fact, how powerful the monsters are and how they are not afraid of death is not the news that everyone is panicking.

The news that most alarmed the residents of Uruk was...

Enkidu, the lock of the sky, helped the beasts to attack them.

And... the news of the Alliance of the Three Goddesses.

The Alliance of the Three Goddesses, as the name suggests, is the alliance of the three goddesses. The man suspected to be Enkidu in the sky told the survivors that the three goddesses would kill all the human beings in Mesopotamia and then destroy everything. civilization, to establish a new order.

Therefore, the living human beings are all panicked by such news.

Therefore, the situation in Mesopotamia is getting worse and worse.

This was one night. Seven nights and Semiramis accompanied Gilgamesh to deal with the clay tablets, and the three of them were resting in the garden of Uruk Palace.

"Water, food, medicine, ores for making weapons and armor, although these important things are not lacking for the time being, but if this continues, sooner or later, it will be empty. You two have to find a way to solve it." Semiramis of the wine glass said lazily.

"About those things, this king has already paid attention to the materials in the cities and kingdoms in the back. Anyway, they don't need to go to the front line. They still accept our shelter and give us the materials for granted." Gilgamer Even said very savage words.

But Semiramis agrees with his savage move, because if the front line is in a hurry, of course the supplies behind you will have to be moved to the front.

Once the monsters break through the absolute monster front, the situation will be even worse.

"I said, now is the time to rest, don't discuss things related to the war." Qiye said helplessly to Semiramis and Gilgamesh.

"Alright then, let's discuss the matter of summoning a Servant."

Gilgamesh looked at Qiye, "Although the current situation is urgent, because we have successfully established the monster front line, it has almost stabilized, as long as we resist the monsters that are constantly attacking from the north."

"So you plan to summon the Servant now, right?" Nanye said.

"That's right, it's time for this king to seal the key of the king's law, activate the blood of God, and become a magician." Gilgamesh picked up an apple and took a bite.

Qiye looked at Gilgamesh and said seriously, "But if you do this, you can only stay in the Uruk Palace in the tower. After all, you have to maintain the summoned Servant."

"If you can only stay in the palace, don't you plan to go to Enkidu yourself?"

After summoning the Servant, Gilgamesh cannot leave the Uruk Palace. If he leaves, he will not be able to provide the Servant with remote magic power.

At that time, the Servant will disappear due to lack of magic power.

Moreover, if there is no tower and palace to help Gilgamesh recover his magic power, once the Servant fights with the enemy at a high intensity, the magic power in his body will be quickly drained.

If the magic power can't be provided, Gilgamesh may be drawn away because of the magic power and become a mummified corpse...

[ps: In the original setting, Gilgamesh was only responsible for providing the magic power summoned by the Servants, and the Servants were responsible for the magic power after that. So Apple modified this magic setting. 】

"Of course this king knows that after summoning the Servant, it is very likely that this king will not be able to leave the palace." Gilgamesh said calmly, "Now is not the time to leave Uruk and go to Enkidu, the Golden Ark. It is damaged, and it is expected to take half a month to repair it.”

"And now the battle situation can't be delayed, I must summon the Servant now and let him fight in my place, while I stay in the Uruk Palace, handle affairs, and provide magic to the Servant."

Now that the battle situation on the front line is urgent, Qiye and the others have confirmed that it is indeed someone who is ordering the group of beasts from behind, and this person is... Scorpion Man Kitaburier.

The half-human, half-scorpion who claimed to be the son of Tiamat.

Its strength is not bad, and it is quite cunning, causing many casualties to the soldiers of Uruk and Babylon. Although there is an antidote developed by Semiramis on the defense line, many times the soldiers have not had time. After detoxification, he was killed by the scorpion's poison.

So Gilgamesh had to find a way to summon a powerful Servant and let him deal with the scorpion.

"Maybe we can wait a little longer, because the 'hope' of the Observatory [Chaldea], the last Master who protects the principles of humanity, seems to be coming to our world soon." Nanye pointed to the shining star above. Sky.

The earth is full of slaughter and danger, and the stars in the night sky are still shining.

Qiye saw the future and also saw hope. He knew that in the near future, someone would enter this era like the wreckage of the Magic King and help them solve this era of specialization.

And why does Seven Nights call Chaldea an Observatory?

Is it because Qiye didn't know Chaldea?

no.

That's because the people of Chaldea were watching the stars, just like the stars in the night sky above them at Seven Nights.
