128 The Return of Each Other (Part 1)
Time flies, and more than thirty years have passed since the war between the three kings of Uruk against the gods.
The once glorious and prosperous city of Uruk was turned into ruins by wind and rain. Because this place was cursed by the gods, no one dared to appear here in the past thirty years.
The collapse of the Three Kings and the disappearance of the Uruk people once again plunged the land into chaos. War, famine, plague, and various disasters befell the surrounding cities. These were like the resentment of the gods after they were killed.
Humans on the land are suffering.
After the destruction of the city of Uruk, many people had the temperament to inherit Uruk's will, and then attacked each other's surrounding cities. Among them, the former Sand Lake City was the most powerful because they were the first to take refuge in Uruk, so in many ways
After the death of Uruk, King Shahu decisively inherited the name and claimed that with the approval of the three kings, his son would become the orthodox successor of Uruk.
It was also from this time that the era of chaos, known in later generations as the 'Battle of the Hundred Cities', began.
…
The broken city gate of Uruk was gently pushed open, and the cursed land that no one had entered for thirty years welcomed a traveler today, or in other words, the owner of the city returned here.
Pulling down his sunshade hood and throwing his travel bag at his feet, the handsome Gilgamesh looked at the city that had been completely turned into ruins, feeling extremely calm.
Thirty years, thirty years have passed since the war against God, and I finally returned to this city!
At this moment, the scene in front of him kept changing. The damaged house was restored, and the streets were lined with people. They were looking at him, smiling and paying tribute to him.
The beautiful and dazzling rain of flowers in the sky never stopped and kept falling, while the loud bells echoed in the sky and could not stop for a long time.
"What is Jill thinking about?" A familiar voice sounded in his ears. At that time, he asked himself with a smile, and then stepped forward. After that, the beautiful woman patted him on the shoulder and also smiled at himself and said: "
Don't you see? They are welcoming you, welcome back, Jill..."
Looking at the two figures, one black and one white, walking in front, the corners of Gilgamesh's eyes were a little moist. He showed a gentle smile, opened his mouth and said softly: "Lei, Enkidu, I'm back..."
The familiar picture collapsed, and the figure that filled him with memories disappeared. Gilgamesh wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "I'll be back, Uruk!"
Walking on the abandoned streets, Gilgamesh walked towards the square. The scenes of the past seemed as clear as yesterday, and the laughter full of joy kept lingering in his ears!
Gilgamesh saw a lot along the way. He saw him playing with a group of children, and saw her standing quietly aside, watching that person. Then the two of them seemed to feel themselves, and they raised their heads at the same time.
He smiled, smiled...and then they disappeared in front of him like broken glass.
…
Walking into the city square, Gilgamesh seemed to see a group of upright and imposing troops in black military uniforms at this moment. They raised their right hands and cheered the words "Glory to Uruk!"
Slogans, their shouts were full of confidence and determination, but also full of madness and New Year. Their eyes were focused on the Monument of Heroes, and on the two young figures in front of the Monument of Heroes.
There is no Monument of Heroic Spirits filled with spears, no group of soldiers cheering and chanting slogans, no figures of the two standing in front of the stone monument looking at me, everything is just my illusion...
Gilgamesh bent down to pick up the rusty spear that had fallen to the ground, broke it off, then wiped the rust on it and saw a name.
Most of the ‘Spears of Heroic Spirits’ have been damaged and rusted, but many of them are still stuck in the ground and flashing cold light, looking brand new!
Putting the short spear back on the ground, Gilgamesh walked towards the half-destroyed palace...
…
Stepping into the palace, Gilgamesh looked at the three thrones standing side by side and said softly: "I'm back..."
"Welcome back." Two voices seemed to appear in the empty hall, and they said to Gilgamesh with a smile.
After leaving the palace, Gilgamesh came to the room where Lei Zhe used to live. After walking in, he looked at the stone table where Lei Zhe used to work. Except that the familiar figure was no longer there, there were no changes here.
Sitting at the stone table, Gilgamesh stroked the dusty tabletop, then closed his eyes. About ten minutes later, he actually fell asleep.
…
Wearing a golden dress, long golden hair, and a breathtakingly beautiful face, Gilgamesh stood on a familiar cliff and looked at the two figures standing on the edge of the cliff.
One is very strong, the other is very weak, and the two of them are looking at the city below.
"See?" the strong man said to the children beside him: "This is our kingdom, and those are our people. After I abdicate, all of this will belong to you!"
After saying this, he looked at the children beside him, and a smile appeared on his face: "Are you excited?"
The weak-looking child nodded, his red eyes full of excitement.
After touching the child's head, the middle-aged man laughed. His laughter echoed in the sky, full of heroism and courage.
"When you are crowned king, all this will belong to you! While you own this city, you will also have to bear a lifelong curse. Even so, do you want it?!"
"Think!" Although the child's voice is very childish, it is full of seriousness and majesty.
Looking at his child, the middle-aged man asked again: "Love or the throne, what will you choose?"
"Of course I am the king! What can I gain by becoming the king?!"
Hearing the child's words, he smiled, and he seemed to say to heaven, earth and the gods: "Well, from today on, your name will be Gilgamesh, the sixth king of Uruk! You will be king
As a king, you must guide the way forward for your people. As a king, you must shoulder a heavy responsibility! Then, you will be cursed, this curse, until that person appears...Gilgamesh, accept it, accept it.
What a ridiculous and sad fate!!"
After that, the child suddenly asked: "Father, why do you want me to choose between love and the throne? Are love and the throne equally important?"
"Power? Status? Prestige? Wealth? Compared with love, these are worthless. Gilgamesh, you have to remember your choices for a few days. I hope you won't regret it one day in the future!" Middle-aged
After saying that, the man took the young man's hand and left.
Gilgamesh looked at the puzzled face of the young man and the familiar face of the middle-aged man. The moment the three of them passed by, she said softly: "I don't regret it, father, because if I didn't
If I inherit the throne, I won’t be able to meet him, so I don’t regret it!”
"Do you really not regret it?" At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in Gilgamesh's dream, and then a woman wearing a black cheongsam and long black hair appeared in the dream. She used a folding fan to
He blocked his mouth and continued: "Do you really not regret it? Gilgamesh, if I give you a chance, if you can see him again, what choice will you make?"
Gilgamesh turned around with a very calm expression. She looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and said, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I can make up for your regrets and give you another choice. In order to see him, are you willing to sign a contract with me? Even if this contract will push you into the abyss and darkness..."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, I won't lie."
"Okay, I agree!"
"It's a very straightforward answer. I like it, but don't you think about it?"
Hearing this, Gilgamesh smiled. Her smile simply made the world lose its luster. It must be said that even the black-haired woman was envious of her appearance.
"You're right, I regret it! But since you can give me a chance, I will agree no matter what the future holds. Haven't we already seen hell? What else in this world can make me despair again?"
"Okay! Gilgamesh, I will sign a contract with you. You will see him again one day in the future! I promise you this in Alaya's name!" Alaya, who was wearing a black cheongsam, disappeared after saying that.
In Gilgamesh's dream.
"Enkidu, you are right, I regret it, so I will not give up this opportunity, no matter what the hell, no matter what despair, I will not lose to you..." Gilgamesh looked down.
In the city, a smile appeared on the beautiful face: "As a woman, not a king...!"
…
Gilgamesh woke up from her dream. She looked around first and then laughed. She thought she had had a strange dream.
But at this time, she found that her hand slowly became blurry and transparent, and gradually disappeared. Despite this, she was not panicked, but rather a little excited.
And at this moment, a person suddenly walked into Lei Zhe's room, which surprised Gilgamesh, and then she saw that very familiar robe!
Thirty years later, the man's black robe is still the same as before, and his appearance is still hidden under the hood. Except for a few people, no one has seen what he looks like after being transformed by magic.
But starting from thirty years ago, he abandoned the name ‘Zhamu’ and everyone called him Lord Weiya...!
When he walked into the room where Lei Zhe used to live, he was stunned. Then he saw a beautiful woman sitting in the teacher's original seat, her body slowly blurring.
At this moment, he felt that the woman in front of him was so familiar.
"You have grown up, Via." Gilgamesh said with a smile.
Taking off his hood, Zamumu revealed a face that was very similar to Gilgamesh's after he turned into a woman. He looked at Gilgamesh with his eyes that turned green due to the magic, and his body trembled a little.
Gilgamesh nodded, and then disappeared in front of Zhammu, but her voice still echoed: "I'm really happy to see you again, my sister..."
When Gilgamesh disappeared, Via stood there stupidly until two people appeared behind him.
"Weiya, what's wrong with you? Well, is there someone here?" Fei Wen, dressed in black, stood behind Weiya and asked.
Next to him was a young man who looked very thin, but he was carrying a two-foot-wide and two-meter-long weapon on his back that looked more like an iron rod than a sword.
"No, it's nothing. Have you found the whereabouts of those bastards?" Weiya shook her head, put her hood back on, and said, covering her face.
"Yes, it has been found."
"Really? Let's go then. The wishes of the three kings will be fulfilled by us. This world does not need gods...!"
