The remaining fire beat silently in the dead silence, and the cold wind filled with the smell of blood swept through the devastated ruins and made a low whine.
In the remote alley, a slight clang sounded, and a delicate figure carefully lifted up a stone slab. He glanced around to make sure there was no one else nearby, and then climbed out of the cellar with his hands on the ground.
It was a little girl, not tall, wearing traditional Uruk clothes. She turned around and shouted softly into the cellar:
"The intruder is gone, you can come out now!"
One after another, figures crawled out of the cellar.
Most of these people are old people, women and children.
When No. 22 held the [Scepter] and the [Holy Grail] and started killing people in the city, the men living nearby went to fight him with artifacts and hid them in this cellar in advance.
At this time, they are the last survivors in the city.
The little girl who was the first to come out bravely walked forward for a while. Every street, house, and ruins were all empty, with not a single soul in sight.
"Where are dad and uncle?" a child asked in confusion.
The little girl stared at the messy battlefield and the remains of clothes everywhere, her face a little pale, "It was the [Holy Grail], the [Holy Grail] brought them..."
"Tali!" An old man interrupted the little girl. He looked at the child who was only four or five years old, and silently shook his head at the little girl.
Looking at those innocent eyes, the little girl closed her mouth in silence.
They are all aborigines of Wucheng and have lived in this treasure house for generations. Except for very young children, everyone else basically knows the types and numbers of artifacts in this treasure house, and the [Holy Grail] and [Scepter] are no exception.
.
It was obvious that they had suffered a great battle, but not even a corpse or a drop of blood was left behind. It could only be that the invaders killed those men and then offered their corpses as sacrifices to the [Holy Grail].
"Maybe some of them survived." Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke.
"Yes, if so many artifacts are used together, they should be able to kill the intruders, right?"
"Let's walk around the city again, maybe we can find them!"
"May the three gods bless them..."
With their last fantasy in mind, everyone searched Wucheng along the potholed road, but couldn't find a single person.
Just when they were desperate, there was a vague noise outside the city wall.
"There is a sound outside the city!"
"Still alive! Some of them must still be alive!"
"Quick! Quick! Let's go up to the city wall and take a look!"
Everyone looked happy and quickly ran up the city wall. When they saw the scene in the distance, they froze in place.
Under the dim sky, a beautiful figure in a white robe walked down from the clouds. In the desert in the distance, dozens of Wucheng residents fled frantically, as if they were being chased by demons, screaming and screaming.
Echoing in the clouds.
The white-robed figure indifferently chased behind the many survivors. With a wave of his hand, a spear flew across the sky like a meteor, and instantly fell on the crowd who were fleeing in panic. With a terrifying divine power, dozens of figures exploded at the same time, turning into
It shattered into pieces in the air like a rain of blood all over the sky.
The screams and exclamations suddenly stopped.
The white-robed goddess standing in the air lightly hooked her fingertips, and the shattered flesh and blood automatically flew to the crescent-shaped boat in the sky and gathered into the [Holy Grail].
Tali and others who witnessed this scene by the city wall turned pale, their legs were shaking uncontrollably, and their faces were horrified.
"They... they..." An old man rolled his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.
"That's not an intruder..." Tali stared blankly at the three figures of gods gathered together in the sky, "Those are... the three gods?"
"The god of wisdom and the moon, the god of love and beauty, the god of fire and hope... Those are really three gods!"
"But, why do the three gods want to kill us?! Aren't they the gods under my king?"
"Yes, aren't they my king's confidants during his lifetime? They also know so many secrets of the Uruk era, and know everything about my king... They even have my king's tokens!"
"They have protected Wucheng for hundreds of years on behalf of my king. Why do they want to kill us?"
"..."
The eyes of the Wucheng survivors present were full of shock and confusion. These words reached the ears of Lin Qiye, who had just hidden behind the wall of Wucheng, causing his brows to wrinkle unconsciously.
Three gods? My king’s confidants?
When he was in Wucheng before, Lin Qiye heard the term "Three Gods" from the residents of Wucheng, but at that time he only thought it was some kind of belief or rhetoric left over from the Uruk era. He never expected that
The "three gods" they talked about turned out to be those three guys in the sky.
And the "my king" they call is undoubtedly Gilgamesh.
Which three gods are Gilgamesh's confidants?
Are you kidding me?
Even if Lin Qiye didn't know much about the history of the Kingdom of Uruk, he knew clearly that Gilgamesh and the Sumerian pantheon were absolute mortal enemies. It could even be said that Gilgamesh had been fighting against the Sumerian people all his life.
The gods fought hard and deliberately hid the king's retribution even after death, just to prevent the Sumerian gods from getting it.
From the words of the people in Wucheng, Lin Qiye could roughly infer that the residents of Wucheng were probably deceived by the three gods who sneaked in a hundred years ago.
If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising that the ancestors of this Uruk were the two major blacksmithing families in Uruk, and before Gilgamesh's death, they had already moved into the treasure house and been completely isolated from the world for thousands of years.
Gilgamesh's old age and death, the destruction of the Kingdom of Uruk, they didn't know any of these things.
After thousands of years of reproduction and development, everything in Uruk could only be turned into ancient cuneiform characters and carved on soft clay tablets.
When the three gods came to the treasure house with the tokens ripped from Gilgamesh's body and a large number of secrets from thousands of years ago, the people in Wucheng could not tell their identities at all, and they could only continue to be deceived by them. As long as the three gods returned
With a little trick, the residents of Wucheng will feel the blessing, and they will soon be worshiped as gods who save the world.
The God of Wisdom and the Moon, the God of Love and Beauty, the God of Fire and Hope... This name is really good at beautifying yourself.
"The three gods... betrayed us." Tali murmured to herself.
"Look, does the corpse floating in the air look like the stone statue at the door of the City Lord's Mansion?"
"The king...is my king Gilgamesh!"
"Why is my king's body in the hands of the three gods?!"
"..." The surviving residents of Wucheng recognized Gilgamesh's appearance and exclaimed.
Above the moonlight pool, the mysterious light poured out from the [Holy Grail] circulated on the surface of Gilgamesh's corpse.
Gilgamesh's closed eyes trembled slightly, and after a moment, he slowly opened them...
