Chapter 239: Gilgamesh
in the main hall of the royal palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The black stone bricks underfoot are polished to a sare visible, and the surrounding walls are carved with images of gods and goddesses, as well as the scenes of the previous four kings of Uruk who either founded the city or went on an expedition.
The dome of the main hall is decorated with various gold beads to form a "sky full of stars", and in the center of the "stars" is a colorful mural inlaid with colored pottery shards, a picture of Inanna blessing the newly completed city of Uruk.
The innermost part of the main hall is a high stone staircase, these stone steps are made of obsidian, above the stone steps, is a huge golden throne, a young king sits on the throne, with golden hair similar to Lu Xiaoqi, the luxurious clothes of the fabric can not be seen, and the collar worn around the neck is inlaid with several huge heterochromatic gems, unlike the civilians and even slave owners in the city, this king is not barefoot, but wears boots, which should be sewn from the skin of some animal, and has a strange pattern tattooed on the upper of the shoe with gold thread.
Lu Xiaoqi stood still in the main hall, and the "divine guard" who led the way saluted the king and retreated.
Only Lu Xiaoqi and the king on the throne were left in the entire hall.
The king's amber eyes stared at Lu Xiaoqi condescendingly, his expression seemed to be smiling, as if he was waiting for Lu Xiaoqi to salute him.
Lu Xiaoqi did not avoid the king's gaze, but calmly met those eyes, such a close distance, he could already be sure that the divine power in this king's body was pure and profound, and it should not be as simple as a "demigod".
"O heir of Enki, why don't you salute when you see this king?" The king's voice echoed through the hall.
Lu Xiaoqi didn't want to explain his identity, so the heirs of Enji would be the heirs of Enki: "Since you know that I am the descendant of God, why do you still want me to salute you?" Just because you're the king of a small city-state? ”
Lu Xiaoqi's words were very polite, he was indeed sarcastic, you, as an existence with such divine power, are so boring that you personally rule a group of ordinary human beings, rule it, and come to tyranny! It's so low!
Besides, the monarch of such a small city-state doesn't know what he is proud of, the land area is not as large as one-thirtieth of the Rihe Kingdom in later generations, and this Uruk City, even if you add a satellite city, is not as big as a corner of Tang Chang'an City, it is estimated that it is only enough for the Tang King to raise a royal horse, at this level, I really don't know what to be arrogant about.
"Oh? A small city-state? The tone is not small, have you ever seen a king greater than me? Have you ever seen a wall more majestic and fortified than the city of Uruk? Have you ever seen a building more magnificent than the king's palace? Well? The king seemed to be very unhappy with Lu Xiaoqi's sarcasm, and the smile on his face faded.
"Huh?!" Lu Xiaoqi was laughed at angrily, could it be that the guy in front of him is the king of the legendary "Yelang Country"?
Lu Xiaoqi's attitude repeatedly stimulated the king, he seemed to be really unhappy, and the expression on his face became cold: "It seems that you don't know my name!" ”
Lu Xiaoqi sneered and shook his head, he really didn't know the person in front of him, and no one dared to call the king's name in front of him before he came in.
"It's a pity that I have given you the honor of worshipping me, and you don't know my name, and I can't do anything about your ignorance, how can you be so stupid as the chosen heir?" The king began to exude a faint divine might.
"Listen, I am the only existence in this world that can be called a 'king', my name is Gilgamesh!" The king's haughty voice echoed through the main hall, and then spread with the power of the gods to the whole city of Uruk, and where the two could not see, the people fell to their knees again.
Lu Xiaoqi finally knew the name of this "stinky fart king", it turned out that his name was Gilgamesh!
For Gilgamesh, Lu Xiaoqi has naturally heard of it, no matter how it is said, it has been mentioned in history textbooks that the protagonist in the oldest narrative poem found by mankind - "The Epic of Gilgamesh" should be the "king" in front of him.
"Gilgamesh epic? Mesopotamian civilization? Gilgamesh was the fifth king of Uruk, probably around 2800 BC! Yes! Only today do I know that I have traveled directly through almost 5,000 years! Lu Xiaoqi muttered, of course, of course, this was said to the black eagle on his shoulder.
Black Eagle naturally didn't explain anything to Lu Xiaoqi, just like the invigilator wouldn't chat with candidates during the exam, it was like a wood carving at the moment, grabbing Lu Xiaoqi's shoulder and not moving.
Gilgamesh naturally couldn't understand what Lu Xiaoqi was muttering, but when he saw Lu Xiaoqi talking to the eagle on his shoulder, his attention was also attracted.
But unfortunately, in Gilgamesh's eyes, this black eagle was just an eagle, and he couldn't see anything abnormal, even though he had great divine powers.
Therefore, after he reported his name, Lu Xiaoqi would rather say "nonsense" to an eagle than "bow down", which was unique in his previous life!
Feeling offended again, he twisted the golden armrest with his hands on the throne!
"Impudent! The gods have fallen, and I am the only king of the earth they have chosen, the common heir of all the gods, the pride of the heavens! Gilgamesh said loudly.
"The gods chosen?" Lu Xiaoqi laughed: "As far as I know, the gods did fall, but they fell three thousand years ago!" I ask you, how did the gods choose you? ”
"And how did you get the power of the water god Enki?" Gilgamesh asked rhetorically, "So, the will of the gods, time cannot be erased!" ”
"The moment I was born, I was destined to become the greatest king in the world!" Gilgamesh continued, "Although the gods have fallen, there are survivors, and I have been blessed by one of the survivors, the great goddess Inanna, the guardian of Uruk City! It was she who put the power of the gods into my body and told my father, my destiny! ”
Black Eagle seems to have said that the gods have fallen, and only those gods who have fallen into "evil gods" remain.
It seems that what "Inanna" is should be one of the "evil gods".
As for how she obtained the power of the gods, Lu Xiaoqi also had a guess in his heart - the mechanical monster "Fen Baba" that he smashed in the cedar forest, and the "divine power crystals" in his head, he still remembered them vividly!
Xiao Hei, who was still a black sheep at the time, told him that "Fenbaba" was just a toy, a toy of a certain "evil god"!
Lu Xiaoqi has reason to guess that this "playful" "evil god" is Inanna! (To be continued.) )
