I, Son of Tiamat

In case of encountering an unbeatable enemy in the underworld, then this is the route for Seven Nights to escape!

"This is the so-called underworld. It's really the desolation according to the rumors. There is no gorgeous existence." Gilgamesh began to look around at the surrounding scene.

The scene Nanye and Gilgamesh are seeing now is the gray and black cornerstone land, like the scene of underground rock formations, but the atmosphere is very disturbing.

Because it is full of gloom, loneliness, gloom, death, silence and so on.

"The breath of this underworld makes this king a little cold." Gilgamesh touched his arm.

"This is the breath of the underworld, it is the breath of death. This breath will not work on the dead and the dead, but if a living person comes into contact with such a breath, the vitality in the body will gradually be eroded, and in the end it is like this The breath of the underworld brings death."

"The living cannot stay in the underworld for a long time, otherwise they will be eroded by the breath of the underworld and die."

Gilgamesh looked at Qiye next to him, and he saw Qiye's mouth moving, as if he was chewing something.

"Qiye, how do you know so much about the underworld? Have you ever been in the underworld before? And what is your mouth moving?"

"This is the first time I've descended to the underworld, and I've never been to the underworld before. As for why I know so much..." Qiye opened his mouth to Gilgamesh, revealing the dirt in his mouth.

"I'm eating the soil of the underworld, and they told me this information." Said Qiye, who swallowed the soil.

Although Qiye cannot obtain energy from the soil of the underworld, he can still obtain various information by 'eating soil'.

"These soils have always existed since the underworld was born, so it told me everything that happened after the underworld was born." Qiye bent down and picked up another piece of underworld soil, he said happily, "Jill, Although the underworld doesn't look very good, the taste of the earth is quite good."

"You still want to eat it, hurry up and throw it away for this king, and then rinse your mouth with wine. I didn't expect this king's best friend to be a guy who likes to eat dirt." Gilgamesh patted off what Qiye picked up. Soil, and after opening Uruk's treasury, he took out the wine from it and stuffed it into Qiye.

"What's wrong with the dirt, you don't need to spend money to eat the dirt." Nanye, who took the wine, gave Gilgamesh a white glance, "And your other best friend, Enkidu, is made of dirt. "

After being disliked by Gilgamesh, Qiye did not continue to eat the soil of the underworld. After rinsing his mouth, the two of them began to walk forward.

The underworld is not a barren situation, it also has a special product.

That is the cage of the underworld...

In the barren underworld, there are many pitch-black cages erected. These cages are all emitting a faint green ominous aura, and they are all bound by pitch-black chains.

"Hey, this slender thing that looks like a birdcage should be the tool used by the goddess of the underworld to imprison her soul."

"Well, the clay people told me that the goddess of the underworld has worked diligently to weave these cages, and use these cages to imprison the souls of humans, demigods, and gods who have committed sins. After they repent, the goddess of the underworld will put They are released." Qiye said the information obtained from the soil.

After death, the basic process is like this...

The soul counts down with the wealth accumulated during its lifetime, and then begins to pass through the seven gates of the underworld, each of which requires bribes.

When the wealth of bribes is not enough, then the remaining doors will begin to judge the life of the dead.

The innocent, go through the seven gates through Enron.

Those who are guilty will be detained by Galula Spirit, imprisoned in a cage, and then thrown into the underworld by Galula Spirit at will.

Then the guilty will be in the cage to reflect and reflect.

The time spent in prison is determined according to the seriousness of the crime of the guilty person. The greater the crime committed, the longer the detention time.

If it is the madman Aga who overthrew the temple and burned Kish... then he and those Kish soldiers will probably be imprisoned until the end of the world, tortured in the cage, and have been reflecting and thinking in the pain of the soul. Go on.

As for the deceased who passed through the seven gates of the underworld safely, they will also receive corresponding treatment and status according to their deeds during their lifetime, such as becoming 'honorable' tools...

Ahem, not a tool person, but a manager who works for the underworld and the goddess of the underworld.

That's how the seven judges of the underworld came.

After all, the underworld is not a hell, nor is it a terrible place that only punishes.

Qiye and Gilgamesh watched the cage of the underworld and continued to walk. Just when they were worried about where to find a flute, the Garula spirit, who was ordered by Ereshkigal, floated. come over.

"Oh, this is the characteristic of the underworld, the undead Garula Spirit, it's quite white." Gilgamesh looked at Garula Spirit with interest.

Garula spirits are like illusory souls, they have no physical existence, but their bodies are illusory and pure white, with hollow skulls, and the fronts of the skulls have slender and sharp nails.

The lower body is nothing, but you can see Galulaling's long spine...

"The two living people who came down from the world, why are you here?" Galulaling ignored Gilgamesh's words and said gloomily in a routine.

"Well... Didn't we quarrel with you above, we just came to apologize." Nanye pointed to the sky in the underworld [the earth on earth] and said.

"Understood, then come with me, the two of you, and I will lead you to meet the noble goddess of the underworld." Garula Ling said.

Actually... even if Qiye said he came down to the underworld to see the scenery, Garulaling would still take him to see the goddess of the underworld, because Ereshkigal gave it such a task.

"And to see the goddess of the underworld..." Qiye smacked his lips, and Gilgamesh crossed his shoulders and whispered, "Qiye, you better prepare yourself mentally, I will listen to some people returning from the underworld. Humans in the world have said that the goddess of the underworld is a huge Garula spirit, and when she sees it, she can't help trembling and cold, as if she was thrown into a glacier."

The human world can come down to the underworld to visit the dead family members, so the information related to the underworld is also spread throughout Mesopotamia through the mouths of those people.

However... the goddess of the underworld is obviously a beautiful goddess. Although she has been in the underworld for a long time, it is a little gloomy, but she is not rumored to be a giant Garula spirit!

Gilgamesh's impression of the goddess of the underworld is only hearsay. Like Seven Nights, he has never seen the goddess of the underworld.

Under the leadership of the underworld's Garula spirit, Seven Nights and Gilgamesh began to go to the seven gates of the underworld. As long as they pass the seven gates of the underworld, they can reach the palace of the underworld.

The location of the seven gates of the underworld is very special. The seven gates are located in a rocky road on a cliff. Both sides are suspended and cannot be passed. Only through the seven gates can we continue to move forward.

Qiye raised his head and looked at the closed gate of the underworld in front of him.

This door is pitch black as a whole, pure black without impurities, and it is known to be extraordinary at a glance, and it also shines with a crystal luster. It is made of extremely rare obsidian.

On the surface of the gate of the underworld, there are little stars twinkling in the dark, this is the manifestation of the power of the underworld, it can judge the dead who have passed the gate of the underworld, and it can also prevent the souls inside from leaving through it.

"There is a price to be paid to pass through the seven gates of the underworld, but the noble goddess of the underworld has given an order, so the two of you can pass through the seven gates of the underworld without paying any price." Falling, the door to the underworld that was closed ahead opened.

Qiye and Gilgamesh looked at each other and stepped into the open door to the underworld together.

After crossing the first gate of the underworld, Qiye and Gilgamesh did not feel that something was wrong with them. It seemed that they passed the gate of the underworld for 'free'.

'Even if I pass through the gate of the underworld, my connection with the clone is still there. ’

Qiye's worries were finally put down, and he passed the gate of the underworld. If the connection between him and the clone is still there, then he can really return to the world in the underworld.

After confirming this, Qiye wanted to persuade Gilgamesh to leave the underworld first and let him go to the palace in the underworld by himself. After all, if he wants to leave the underworld alone, he can leave directly through mental transfer.

If there was Gilgamesh by his side, Qiye couldn't leave him without him.

But Gilgamesh is not so easy to leave Qiye, the kind of person who leaves the underworld first, I guess he will leave Qiye saying, "What are you talking about, idiot, who would leave his best friend and leave alone"...

When Qiye was struggling, Gilgamesh's voice suddenly came over.

"Did you know Qiye, this is the sea of ​​life of God Tiamat."

After hearing the words 'Tiamat', Qiye immediately abandoned his entanglement and followed Gilgamesh's gaze.

Below the rocky road leading to the palace of the underworld, there is something dark and deep.

That's where the **** Tiamat came to this world...

Its name is "the sea of ​​life of the **** Tiamat", and it is also called "the sea of ​​the abyss" by the gods.

Chapter 131 Chapter 27

Mesopotamia in the age of mythology, it was made up of three places.

The sky of gods, the earth of human beings, the underworld of dead souls.

But the underworld is not the lowest place. Below the underworld, there is the 'sea of ​​the abyss'.

The so-called sea of ​​the abyss is an existence of nothingness. In mythology, it is described that God Tiamat emerged from the sea of ​​nothingness and then created the whole world.

Because it is the place where the Goddess of Creation came out, there are many names here, such as the sea of ​​darkness before the birth of life, the sea of ​​the underworld, the sea of ​​the underworld, and the sea of ​​death that devours everything.

In addition to Cusa City, which can enter the underworld, other places can also enter the underworld. Humans who strayed into the underworld from other places once approached this dark sea, and then this death-like sea was spread out.

If a demigod or a **** accidentally falls, it is impossible to get up, and you can only ask for help.

Now it is the city **** of Eridu, Enki, who manages this sea of ​​the underworld. After accidentally falling, you can pray to him and ask for his help. If he is happy, he may destroy the fallen demigods and gods. Raised from the ocean of the underworld.

If it is a human... Let's not say whether God Enki will lend a helping hand. Humans will die quickly in the ocean of the underworld, and it is impossible for them to survive until they are brought up by him.

Qiye looked at the place where his mother was born with a complicated expression. Gilgamesh patted his shoulder and dragged Qiye to continue toward the second gate of the underworld.

Lies are not allowed in the underworld, and they follow the rules extremely well.

Therefore, if you say that you can pass through the seven gates of the underworld for free, you can pass it for free! There is absolutely no intention to harm Nanaya and Gilgamesh.

Originally, Gilgamesh thought that as long as they passed through the seven gates of the underworld, they would see different scenery, such as luxurious and precious palaces, and treasures plundered from the dead, but...

"Why is there nothing here?" Gilgamesh said with smacking.

Gilgamesh and Nanye didn't see anything pleasing to the eye behind the seven gates of the underworld, only the wilderness filled with the breath of death.

"Because the goddess of the underworld doesn't need a palace, as long as a throne sits and manages the underworld, it's enough." A slightly muffled and sweet voice came out.

Afterwards, Qiye and Gilgamesh revolved in front of the rich aura of death, and a slender illusory figure loomed in the aura of death in the underworld.

After the breath subsided, Ereshkigal in a jet-black dress appeared, holding the flute of Seven Nights and Gilgamesh's Puku and Maiku in her beautiful hands.

"I am the goddess of the underworld, Ereshkigal, the living beings who fell into the underworld, are you here for these two things?" Ereshkigal said softly, her tone was calm and gentle. Elegance, an elegant princess tone.

Is it just Qiye's illusion? Why does he feel that this goddess is tense, as if she is very nervous.

And... the voice of this goddess is very similar to the owl who spoke before!

Of course Ailei was nervous. This was the first time she had seen Qiye with her true face, and she was the one who caused him trouble and let him go down to the underworld, but she was nervous and guilty.

"This king is the king of Uruk, and the sage beside him is the sage of Uruk. He is indeed here for what the goddess of the underworld is holding in your hand." Gilgamesh said humbly.

"In addition to getting these things back, we also intend to apologize to the underworld. Our Uruk seems to be too noisy and disturbed the peaceful underworld." Qiye added.

"I... I accept the apology from the two of you, and I will return these things to you, but I have a condition." Ereshkigal pretended to be calm, and then looked at Qiye with her beautiful golden eyes, as if embarrassed. , she put her head aside again, leaving Nanaye and Gilgamesh with a perfect profile.

"I'm very interested in the flute you play. As long as you come down to the underworld often and play it with me, then I can immediately return these things to you."

"...You want me to go to the underworld often to play the flute for you." The corners of Qiye's mouth twitched, and Ereshkigal, who was tensed up, didn't answer, just nodded his head.

Qiye glanced at Ereshkigal, and found that although she turned her head away, she was looking at him secretly from the corner of her eyes, and her eyes flickered, revealing a faint trace of unease and apprehension.

The expression of the goddess of the underworld now gave Qiye a subtle familiarity, as if... by the way, it was almost the same time when the owl was begging for food.

I'm afraid he didn't notice it like that...

It was this sense of sight that made Qiye have a little guess about Ereshkigal and the owl, and after thinking for a second, he said, "Is this a bit difficult, because every time I go to the underworld, I have to Prepare a 'substitute'."

"This is too easy to solve!" Ereshkigal found that Qiye did not refuse immediately, so she suppressed her joy and said, "I will grant you the status of an extradition from the underworld, and if you go to the underworld, you will You no longer need to prepare a stand-in to return to the world."

"Wait, the extraditioner of the underworld, isn't that a position for the goddess of the underworld to guide lost souls to the underworld?" Gilgamesh said in surprise.

"Naturally." Ereshkigal nodded, and she explained, "Actually, the extraditer of the underworld is not only responsible for guiding souls into the underworld, this position also has to be responsible for managing the dead and guarding the gun prison..."

"Wait! I don't want to do these things..." Qiye said quickly, "And a position in the underworld, can a living human take it? It doesn't conform to the rules of the underworld."

"The rules of the underworld are set by me. You don't need to worry about it. Your underworld extradition person is not responsible for these. You only need to play the flute with me."

Although Ereshkigal's words are confusing and difficult to understand, the general meaning is... You, an extraditer from the underworld, will not be responsible for those tasks, you only need to play the flute for me.

After becoming an extraditer from the underworld, there is no need for a stand-in to travel to and from the underworld in seven nights.

"How do you choose Qiye?" Gilgamesh looked at Qiye. If it was really like what Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, said, Qiye would have a laudable identity, and he would be able to interact with him. The goddess of the underworld draws closer.

If you put it on other people, maybe they will accept it with ecstasy...

But Qiye didn't like the underworld, and he didn't want to be with the gods, but the information from the soil made him full of pity for the goddess of the underworld.

The soil of the underworld told Qiye a lot of information.

After the creation of the underworld, Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, was dedicated to the underworld as a cornerstone and became the mistress of the desolate underworld.

As the goddess of the underworld who has been managing the undead, she works diligently, under the conflict and disgust of gods and humans.

What a miserable goddess...

Not only was he abandoned by the gods, but he also had to work diligently for the gods and manage the underworld.

These things were all told to Qiye by the soil of the underworld, so Qiye couldn't help feeling a little pity for this goddess who was even more pitiful than himself.

"If the 'extradition from the underworld' is really what you said, then I accept it. If I have time, I will come down and play the flute for you." Qiye said softly.

At the end of the division of the gods, Qiye will use the flute to send off the goddess of the underworld...

"Really?!" Ereshkigal immediately showed a surprised expression, and her expression made Gilgamesh raise his eyebrows. Only now did he realize that this goddess was very similar to Inanna, not just in appearance. , even the way of treating Qiye is quite similar.

"Yeah." Qiye nodded.

"But the underworld doesn't even have a single flower, don't you hate this kind of place? And I'm still the goddess of the underworld who brought death and withering, won't you be afraid!" Ereshkigal asked nervously .
