Chapter 31: The Banquet of the Three Kings (Part II)

Gilgamesh has everything, all the treasures of the world, in the treasury. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But he wasn't happy.

Or rather, he didn't have the concept of happiness at all.

Day after day, life is so monotonous and boring.

People?

It's good if you don't starve!

Disaster?

Forbearance will pass!

The king will not cry easily, and the untouchables are like weeds, always finding a way out in the cracks of the stones.

The nation is wailing...... But, so what?

As long as I am king, this country will remain forever!

The long-haired boy challenged me, claiming that he was a god who had responded to the call of the people and created a weapon to end my rule.

Haha, what a joke to want to end my reign?

And, aren't you human?

The first time I was wounded in battle, the first time I felt pain, the first time I ...... Feel happy!

I like you, what's your name?

"My name is ...... Enkidu!"

So Enkidu, my kingdom is divided in half of yours, and you are willing to be my inseparable ally?

"I, willingly!"

For the first time, Gilgamesh thanked the gods for sending Enkidu to him.

Enki asked him to be kind to the people, and he did.

Enki asked him to govern the country, and he did.

When Enkidu told him that the forest monster Humbaba was devouring the people, he and Enkidu beheaded each other.

The people were cheering, rejoicing that they had such a great king. Even the goddess Ishtar herself went down to earth and proposed to him, hoping to become his wife.

But he refused.

It's not because the goddess isn't beautiful enough, and it's not because the other party doesn't have a matching identity.

It's because ...... Enki doesn't like Ishtar!

It's as simple as that.

The goddess was as angry as a peasant woman, and her father, Annu, sent the "bull of heaven" capable of causing drought to avenge her.

But with the cooperation of him and Enkidu, the bull of heaven was also slain.

The goddess was unwilling, and Enqidu cut open the belly of the heavenly bull, took out the intestines and threw them in front of the other party, and said coldly: "Stay here, you will end up like this cow!"

Gilgamesh has never been happier.

It's not because the goddess is gone, but for the first time, Enkidu spoke for him, the first time he spoke ill of others, and the first time he expressed clear likes and dislikes.

This young man, who thinks he is a weapon, is becoming more and more like a person.

But as long as it's human, it will die.

Enkidu fell seriously ill and died overnight, and Gilgamesh clung to his corpse and wept bitterly for seven days and seven nights, until the corpse decomposed.

Goddess Ishtar appeared at the funeral, smirking triumphantly.

It turned out that the two men who killed the bull of heaven had already violated the law of the gods, and one of them had to die to appease the wrath of the gods.

Enki stood up and gladly died.

Because he wants to protect his friends!

It's that simple.

"God, why are you so cruel?"

"God, how do you decide the fate of man?"

"God, why are you on high above?"

"God, are you immortal?"

Enkidu's corpse glowed with a dazzling white light, turning into chains. As he himself said, he was meant to be a weapon.

The chains were wrapped around Gilgamesh's hand as Enkidu held his hand.

"Keep fighting, then, friend. There are many beasts that covet our country!"

Gilgamesh's expression darkened.

"The beast named God, even if it is immortal, I will kill you!"

……

Jin Shibling picked up the glass and sat down on the ground.

Rider leaned over and asked, "How?"

"Well, it's a good wine!"

"Hey, did you admit it so simply?" said Rider, a little surprised, "I thought you'd keep your mouth shut." ”

"Hmph, good is good, bad is bad!" Jin Shanshan said unhappily: "When this king is a faint king who does not argue right and wrong?"

"Haha, that's not what I meant. But if you really want to say it, it is also your consistent arrogance that will cause me to misunderstand!"

If I ignore others as I did in the past, will Enkidu come to me again?

Jin Shanshan shook his head, threw this thought out of his mind, regained his arrogant face, and said disdainfully: "It's boring!"

Rider rubbed his head and laughed, not minding in the slightest.

Yingluo was still drinking with the barrel in his arms, and the three kings were also serious.

"Well, the wine has been drunk, and then you can talk freely. Rider, as the initiator, was the first to speak, "So, what do you want the Holy Grail to achieve?"

"Wrong. Jin Shining said flatly, "Unlike you, I'm not here for the Holy Grail. In other words, the Holy Grail is my possession, and you are just thieves who come to salivate for the treasure. ”

"Megalomaniac?" Saber said with a frown, "It seems that you're just like Caster this time, a guy with a mouth full of gibberish." ”

"No, no, no!" Rider suddenly waved his hand, revealing a look of bamboo in his chest, and said, "I have probably guessed the identity of this guy." How, can you say that?"

Jin Shanshan closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Whatever you want." ”

"Haha, what a hero, worthy of the oldest king of mankind, Gilgamesh with the title of Hero King!" Rider squinted his eyes and said proudly, "I guessed right." ”

"It looks rude, but it's actually quite intelligent. King of Conquest, I am impressed with you. Jin Shanshan opened his eyes: "Yes, I am the king of heroes, all the treasures in the world belong to me, and the Holy Grail is no exception!"

"So, you've seen the Holy Grail, what is it like?" Rider asked, grunched.

"I don't know. ”

"Ah, doesn't the Holy Grail belong to you? how could you not know what it looks like?"

"Because the number of treasures in the treasury has long exceeded the knowledge of this king. Jin Shan flashed an angry expression: "But even so, it is too brazen to take it out as a prize without authorization!"

"So, the reason you participated in the Holy Grail War is to reclaim your treasure?"

"Take back the treasure?" Jin Shining shook his head, "Those are not important, even if the Holy Grail is an incomparably magical existence in the eyes of you ordinary people, in my opinion, it is just an ordinary collection." ”

"And you're ...... for it?"

"Punishment!" Jin Shanshan's eyes narrowed: "If you break the law, I will punish you!"

"Gee, that makes sense. Rider nodded and said seriously: "In this way, I can only blatantly snatch it!"

Saber frowned in displeasure, "King of Conquest, you have agreed that the rightful ownership of the Holy Grail belongs to someone else, why do you still use force to snatch it?

"O tyrant," repeated the conqueror...... the conqueror said, and then with a terrible smile: "Who told you that Alexander the conqueror is not a tyrant anymore?

"You're a megalomaniac!"

"Arrogance?" Jin Shanshan suddenly interjected and snorted coldly: "Don't be arrogant, what kind of king are you!"
