I, Son of Tiamat

Seeing that Gilgamesh was no longer insisting on the impossible order, Siduri breathed a sigh of relief, and she replied, "Yes, that's why you found me a clever way to build the temple of the goddess Inanna. Hand, in order to welcome the coming of the city god, we Uruk have to prepare everything."

"So, the more skilled hands who are good at building temples, the better."

"Of course it is, Wang, do you have any suggestions for skilled hands who are good at building temples?" Siduri asked in confusion.

"This king doesn't, but this king thinks that guy should be able to handle it, so you go to him and make him a member of the temple building." Gilgamesh threw the gold silk to Siduri again.

Chapter 18, Chapter 18

Siduri took the gold and silk with a wry smile. She looked at Gilgamesh, who was determined to do it, and no longer opposed it.

Building the temple of the goddess Inanna is different from the priests who serve the goddess Inanna, so the people who built the temple, Gilgamesh and Siduri do not need to go through the layers of screening and the elders' house, they can go by themselves Decide.

Gilgamesh doesn't know if Nanye is good at buildings or not, but he feels that the daring outsider should be able to bring him a lot of joy and surprises, so he doesn't care whether Nanya is good at buildings or not, he just puts such a task directly Throw it to him.

Anyway, even if Seven Nights is not good at buildings... Gilgamesh thinks it doesn't matter. Anyway, there are Siduri and the skillful woman who is good at building buildings. They will help him solve these troublesome problems.

This extravagant tyrant is also a heartless guy...

After receiving an unreliable order from Gilgamesh, the chief priest Siduri left the palace again to find the Seven Nights wandering in the city of Uruk.

Qiye is not difficult to find, because he just performed an admirable public trial, so Siduri only needs to ask the soldiers and residents a little, and she can get the whereabouts of Qiye from their mouths.

And Siduri also learned another piece of information, that Qiye was asking the residents of Uruk how they could live in the city of Uruk.

After learning about this, Siduri was overjoyed. She is now more confident to convince Qiye to take up the post of building the temple.

Qiye and Semiramis were walking through the streets of Uruk city, walking towards the priesthood of Uruk. They already knew from the residents of Uruk that if they wanted to live in Uruk If you are in a city, go to the priesthood to apply.

Priests are not just responsible for worshipping gods.

Priests are the stewards of wealth.

They shoulder the position of managers of wealth, the priests will be responsible for renting out land and running banks [the oldest usury! ], participate in commercial activities, so that the property of temples and kingdoms continues to increase.

Therefore, if Qiye wants to buy a piece of land in the city of Uruk and establish his residence with Semiramis, he must go to the priesthood, buy the land through the priesthood, and register it, so that he can become a large number of Uruk. a member of the residents.

Just as Seven Nights and Semiramis were on their way to the priesthood of Uruk, a woman wearing a Mesopotamian robe appeared in front of them.

The robe fabric this woman is wearing is not the linen fabric of ordinary Uruk residents, but a high-quality fabric that looks extremely smooth.

Naturally, this woman was specifically looking for Siduri, the chief priest of Seven Nights.

"Two travelers, please wait a moment and take a step to speak." As the chief priest, Siduri said to Qiye and Semiramis very gently.

Siduri, the chief priest of Uruk, is smart and graceful, comparable to the princess of the kingdom. She is respected by everyone in Uruk because she is gentle and virtuous towards anyone.

"Is something looking for us?" Qiye asked, tilting his head, looking at the veiled woman in front of him.

"Yes." Siduri nodded slightly, and she praised in an elegant and gentle tone, "This traveler, allow me to introduce myself, I am Siduri, the king's assistant, and also the city of Uruk. the chief priest."

As soon as Semiramis heard Siduri's introduction, he poked Qiye's waist with his small hand, as if to express to him, 'Look, being in the limelight will be missed. ’

The corners of Qiye's mouth twitched, and he endured the tickling feeling from his waist, and asked Siduri, "Then, chief priest, do you have anything to do with us?"

"Actually this is the case. Because of your excellent ruling, we are sincerely amazed, so we want you to become a member of the priesthood and fight for the city of Uruk together." Siduri said gently, "If you If you can accept this proposal, then we will be responsible for making arrangements for you, whether it is your place of residence in Uruk or your identity.”

It has never happened before that an outsider can directly become a priest of Uruk. If it is an ordinary outsider, it is estimated that he will accept it with joy, but Qiye is not an ordinary person...

Qiye looked at Siduri with a gentle smile, and said directly, "This is what your king means, or what your priesthood means."

"This... is what the king meant." Siduri didn't hide it deliberately, and she didn't think she could hide it from the adjudicator who took that approach to resolve a fair trial.

"The priest of Uruk... Qiye, if I remember correctly, Uruk worships the goddess Inanna." Semiramis subconsciously clenched Qiye's palm, and she stared at Qiye with wide eyes." Do you want to be a priest of Uruk and worship that goddess?!"

"That's not the case." Siduri quickly explained, "Priests also have levels, and not all priests can worship the gods."

When Semiramis heard this, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Then you want me to be a priest, what do you want me to be responsible for? Is it true that, as those people said, let me be responsible for the judgment and judgment?" Qiye said suspiciously.

"This is not... The priests responsible for adjudication and judgment are second only to the priests who worship the gods. If you join the priesthood, you will be responsible for building the temple temporarily, because the city of Uruk, Inanna, is about to come to Uruk. Before the coming of God, the temple must be built." Siduri explained what the Seven Nights Club was responsible for.

The priest in charge of building the temple doesn't sound like a decent job... But pay attention, this is the priest, and the position of the priest is higher than the noble class.

So even the priest in charge of the brick-moving slaves, his status is higher than that of the nobles!

In fact, what Qiye and Semiramis care about now is not the priest's responsibility, but the words behind Siduri...

"Goddess Inanna can come? Wasn't she imprisoned by the gods in the sky, and she has been freed after six years?" said Qiye with a delicate face.

"Yes, you also know about the fact that the goddess Inanna was grounded by the gods, yes, after all, the whole of Mesopotamia knew about that incident." Siduri said with a wry smile.

Seven nights more than just know! He was also involved in it, and the fact that the goddess Inanna was grounded had something to do with him... it was as small as sand!

In fact, Inanna is the goddess Ishtar.

But now Ishtar is not the Gong Rin in FGO, but a pure goddess, so she has blond hair and golden eyes.

Gong Rin is the existence behind Ishtar.

Part 19 Chapter Nineteen

"Then do you plan to accept the priesthood?" Siduri changed the subject.

Qiye thought about it for a while, then he nodded, "If the person responsible for the construction of the temple can become a priest and obtain land and residence status, then I will accept this position."

In the end, Qiye chose to accept this errand and became a priest, and he also saved the cost of purchasing land and the procedures for living in the city of Uruk.

For this kind of good thing, Qi Ye didn't want to refuse.

Semiramis also has no opinion. As long as Qiye does not become a priest who worships and serves the gods, she has no opinion at all. How Qiye decides and how she follows.

However, the fact that the goddess Inanna was about to come to the world made Semiramis very worried. She felt that the savage and domineering goddess would bring them endless trouble.

After Qiye accepted the position of priest in charge of building the temple, Siduri's task was completed. Next, she arranged land for Qiye and Semiramis and wrote her identity into the city of Uruk. Make them a part of Uruk.

Therefore, Seven Nights and Semiramis lived in the city of Uruk and stopped living like a rootless duckweed.

Then Siduri left, and she went to arrange things related to Qiye. After Siduri left, Semiramis looked at Qiye and said with a slight frown, "Goddess Inan Na, the goddess with blonde hair and golden eyes... the unreasonable goddess we met seven years ago."

"Ah, if nothing else, it should be that goddess." Qiye rubbed his black hair with a headache.

In fact, Seven Nights and Semiramis met the city **** Inanna of Uruk...

Qiye and Semiramis came to this era through the twisted Mobius ring, and wandered in this era for thirteen years, and it was the seventh year of the thirteen years.

That is, when Semiramis was seven years old, Qiye met the goddess Inanna with blonde hair and golden eyes.

And then...some subtle things that can be said to be pleasant and also catastrophic happened.

"Qiye, if it's really that goddess, I think it's better for us to leave Uruk, in case she finds you, I think the barbaric goddess who was locked up for several years and then freed, will definitely hang you in the On her ark, and shot you out." Semiramis looked at Qiye seriously and said.

"No way... I just gave her a small suggestion at the time. I just let her escape from marriage, not let her destroy other people's cities and then escape from marriage." Recalling that savage goddess, Mrs. Seven nights showed a tangled expression.

The goddess Inanna, her elder brother Sun God arranged for her a marriage, and married the faun Dumuzi, so that the human city managed by the faun Dumuzi could develop and prosper with the help of the divine power of "love and harvest".

But... the goddess, whose character is worse than Gilgamesh's and whose behavior is more savage and domineering than Gilgamesh's, is unwilling to accept it, so she finds a helpless unlucky ghost and wants to get a proposal from him.

The unlucky ghost was frightened by the goddess with blond hair and golden eyes, so he had no choice but to give her a proposal...

Run away from marriage!

Anyway, Inanna is the goddess favored by the gods. If she wants to resist, no one can stop her. .

Oh yes, that unlucky ghost is actually Qiye...

But how did Qiye know!

This goddess who savagely stopped him and asked him to make an idea is not just running away from the marriage... She also made a mess of other people's cities before running away from the marriage!

Because of the resistance of the goddess of 'Love and Harvest', the city has undergone earth-shaking changes. The relationship between husband and wife in the city has broken down, cattle, sheep and livestock no longer give birth to cubs, and the crops full of vitality have withered... and so on. bad things.

These things are fatal to a city!

Because the goddess Inanna's resistance almost destroyed a city and angered the gods who favored her, so she was caught, locked in the sky, and forbidden to step into the world.

And then... After learning about the pitiful [deserving] experience of the goddess Inanna, Qiye spit out this goddess who likes to mess around in his heart. After he hastily called running water to take care of the crops, he took Sammy with him. Ramis fled from the city.

Although it wasn't Qiye who made the city like that, it had something to do with him anyway, so he left the city with a guilty conscience after curing the crops for the city...

Afterwards, the goddess with blond hair and golden eyes was grounded by the gods, and Qiye and Semiramis continued their journey.

Six years have passed now. Seven Nights and Semiramis came to Uruk. They now know from Siduri that the goddess Inanna is about to land in Uruk...

Originally, they had almost forgotten that goddess, but now after Siduri said that, happy and bad memories came to their minds.

The grounding of the goddess Inanna is also over... She is about to descend on Uruk.

So Semiramis thought, if the savage goddess who had been imprisoned by the gods for six years saw Seven Nights, and saw this and gave her advice, and also caused her to be imprisoned for six years, she should be Will grin, then brutally hang him on the sky boat and shoot him out...

"As for the little pigeon, you said to leave Uruk city quickly..." Qiye smacked his lips slightly, "I don't think you need to worry so much, because Inanna just came down in Uruk city, it is estimated that she will stay in Uruk. Should be gone in a few days."

"After all, she's a restless character. After being detained for six years, it's impossible for her to stay in a city for a long time."

Semiramis thought about it, and then felt that what Qiye said was correct, that the goddess who likes to drive the sky boat to cause trouble everywhere, it is impossible to stay in Uruk peacefully after being imprisoned for six years. middle.

So after Inanna arrives, she should leave from Uruk city in a few days, no... Maybe after she arrives, she might just drive the heavenly boat, Anna [Biao Cha], and leave.

In addition, Semiramis likes the atmosphere of Uruk city very much, and the date palms produced here can make better wine, so she doesn't want to leave Uruk city so soon.

So Qiye, who had a fluke idea, brought Semiramis to live in the city of Uruk. Naturally, the place where he lived was the land that was given to him after he became a priest.

Qi Ye, who was not short of money, purchased land nearby and used it to build a brewery.

At that time, the date palm wine he drank from the goddess Ai Gitas, Qiye still clearly remembers its **** sweetness, so gradually, winemaking became one of his common hobbies with Semiramis. .

Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Clay Figure from the Cedar Forest

Now Siduri is very happy, because the skilled woman recommended by Gilgamesh is good at building temples.

And the judge who jumped to become a priest did not let her down. He provided many fantastic ideas and built a more beautiful temple. If the goddess Inanna came to the temple, she would definitely be satisfied The city of Rook worshipped her.

Although it was said that the priest was very busy and needed to be responsible for sacrificial activities, festival ceremonies, chanting prayers and divination, but only responsible for the construction of the temple for seven nights. , nothing to do...

Moving bricks and mud does not need to be done for seven nights. It is done by workers and slaves. Workers are residents of Uruk, while slaves are captured by Uruk in foreign wars, or they have resisted foreign aggression. obtained thereby.

Semiramis thought that Qiye would be very busy after becoming the priest of Uruk city, but she was unexpectedly free, so she took Qiye to hang out every day. If she stayed at home, she would make wine with him, and Study music with him.

The days were very fulfilling and satisfying.

Just as Seven Nights and Semiramis were living such a fulfilling and fulfilling life in Uruk City, a mass of humanoid soil began to creep slowly towards Uruk City from the distant Cedar Mountain. .

It has no **** and no difference. It is a weapon made by the gods. In order to better offer offerings and beliefs to humans, the gods specially created Gilga, which is two-thirds **** and one-third human. Mish.

The purpose of the gods is that they can not continue to discipline human beings, and some people will manage human beings, so that human beings can continue to worship and worship God as God.

But things backfired... Gilgamesh when he was a child and Gilgamesh when he grew up are not the same person at all!

He enslaved humans, drove them away, and made humans lament. Gilgamesh was originally a wedge that stabilized the relationship between gods and humans, but what he did seemed to promote the alienation of gods and humans.

Therefore, the **** Anu, who got the human wailing, took action, and he used the weapon of the gods, Enkidu.

Enkidu is actually a chain specially created by the gods when Gilgamesh was young in order to prevent Gilgamesh from not exercising his duty to suppress humans.

The weapon of the gods, it is a hero who can rival Gilgamesh.

The gods will let them fight, so that Uruk can settle down and not be disturbed! Let human beings worship the gods more safely.

So the weapon of the gods that has been staying in Cedar Mountain moved. It followed the idea of ​​God Anu and began to slowly move towards Uruk, but because it did not possess the intelligence of a 'human', it was like a beast.

When going to Uruk, the clay figurine rubbed shoulders with the wild beasts, grazes with the antelope and bison, and gathers in the pond to drink water. It coexists with the livestock and smiles when it sees the water, like a wild beast that relies on instinct to survive.

When the clay figurine encounters a beast caught by a hunter's trap, it will take the initiative to untie the rope of the trap for the beast, and even the trap dug by the hunter will be filled up by it.

Gradually, he did not possess spiritual intelligence and was a weapon of the gods. He seemed to have forgotten the order of the **** Anu, and had been in the forest far away from the city of Uruk. It walked with the beasts and wandered in the woods.

Days passed like this, morning came, Qiye said goodbye to Semiramis, and went to inspect the construction of the temple. After finding that everything was going according to the plan, Qiye, who had nothing to do, left the tall and magnificent temple. Temple of Inanna.

At this time, Semiramis, who was originally staying at home, appeared in front of Qiye with a small basket on her arm.

"You haven't had breakfast yet. I brought you breakfast."

Qiye looked at Semiramis with a smile on his face, and responded with a gentle smile, "That's really thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, because after breakfast, you have to go shopping with me. Our home has not been fully decorated yet. Anyway, you are very busy, so you will come with me." Semiramis greeted him, and Qiye's smile changed from gentle to helpless.
