The floating ocean makes the world look like the world has been turned upside down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This ocean that obscured the sky, with endless divine might, fell down, just for a moment, like making dumplings, wrapped Gilgamesh, forming a huge and vast water ball, with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of miles!

Although this water ball has a thick layer, it is supported by Gilgamesh's divine power, and there is still a lot of space in the center.

The water balloon gradually collapsed inward, and the huge pressure even Gilgamesh frowned, and Lu Xiaoqi seemed to want to use this pressure to make Gilgamesh succumb.

Lu Xiaoqi really didn't want to continue to "play" with this second king anymore, even though he knew that this battle was also part of the "king's trial".

So he no longer holds back, and summons all his divine power to exert the power of the entire sea on Gilgamesh.

Of course, Gilgamesh could not be restrained, he took out various weapons from the "treasure house of the sky" and slashed at the surrounding sea water, these artifacts under Gilgamesh's divine power exerted twelve points of power, attacking from all directions, trying to break the encirclement of the sea water.

Unfortunately, what surrounds Gilgamesh is not ordinary seawater, but a sturdy structure that is connected by the divine power of the water god through a "strong interaction force"!

Therefore, part of Gilgamesh's artifact is not able to destroy this "sea water" that is stronger than anything in the world, and part of it is very powerful and can break a little surface, but unfortunately, this is an "iron wall" composed of water from the sea, and the thickness is not measured in meters, but in kilometers!

Even if Lu Xiaoqi is allowed to be slowly chiseled by Gilgamesh, if he wants to penetrate it, it will take hundreds of thousands of years!

What's more, just as Gilgamesh can repair his own armor, Lu Xiaoqi can also keep repairing those broken places.

If Gilgamesh really chiseled slowly, he would be like Wu Gang who cut the laurel tree next to the Moon Palace, and there would never be an end!

"How did you do that?" Gilgamesh is very sure that his divine power is much better than Lu Xiaoqi, but even so, he will definitely not be able to use his divine power to such an extent like Lu Xiaoqi!

He has more divine power than Lu Xiaoqi and the entire "Heavenly Treasure House", but now he has no way to break through, of course, Lu Xiaoqi can't hurt him.

Although this ocean was changed by him to show his generosity, he would not regret it, and he did not bother to do so.

The scene has reached a stalemate, and there is no point in fighting any longer, I wanted to let Lu Xiaoqi see his strength, so that he could be convinced, and then be his own god, but the result is obvious, from this point of view, he lost.

Gilgamesh turned the ring, and all the artifacts returned to the treasury, and the sea was gone, the purple sky was gone, and the dry seabed was gone.

Lu Xiaoqi stood in the main hall of the palace, Black Eagle stood on his shoulder, and Gilgamesh was still sitting on his throne, and they came out of that [Erischig's Cage]!

Erischig's Cage was slowly shrinking, eventually turning into a fist-sized black cube that flew back into the golden vortex on the dome of the main hall, and then the vortex vanished as if it had never happened.

"I am amazed by your strength, Gentle!" Gilgamesh looked at Lu Xiaoqi, although his expression was still arrogant, but he had already restrained a lot: "As the king of Uruk, I recognize your and my equal status!" ”

Lu Xiaoqi looked at Gilgamesh in surprise, he didn't expect this guy to be quite upright, if he was more serious, his current strength should not be able to defeat him.

This young king made [Erischig's Cage] Lu Xiaoqi's "home" from the beginning, and he didn't withdraw until the end, if he set the scene of [Erischig's Cage] as an arid desert from the beginning, then Lu Xiaoqi would definitely not be able to survive now.

Although he is a little bit second, he is fully worthy of the title of "king" with this bearing.

"From now on, between heaven and earth, you and I are the supreme!" Gilgamesh said, "From now on, I will no longer be a lonely king!" ”

After Gilgamesh finished speaking, a golden ball of light suddenly appeared from the center of his eyebrows, slowly floating towards Lu Xiaoqi.

Lu Xiaoqi could clearly feel the fluctuation of the divine power contained in this small ball of light - this was the divine power of the water god!

"This is a fragment of Enki's power, Inanna gave it to me with the power of the gods, but through the battle just now, I think you are more suitable to have it!" Gilgamesh said.

Lu Xiaoqi paused for a moment, and subconsciously took the golden ball of light, the ball of light was like a snowflake, as soon as it touched his palm, it "melted" and seeped into his palm, and the divine power of the water god was once again replenished.

As the saying goes, "the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are soft", Lu Xiaoqi was still thinking about how to refuse Gilgamesh's request to be a god again, and he heard Gilgamesh say: "You let me see another miracle besides myself!" So, please forgive me for making unreasonable demands on you before! ”

Lu Xiaoqi suspected that his ears had heard it wrong-isn't this guy the kind of stubborn middle and second disease who goes all the way to the black?

"Therefore, I would like to invite you to rule this kingdom with me, not as a god, nor as a vassal, but as a king like me!" Gilgamesh said.

Lu Xiaoqi was completely shocked at this time, could this guy be possessed by someone?

"Congratulations!" Black Hawk's voice came from his ears, "You have been recognized by King Uruk in terms of strength, as long as you show your talent in 'governing the country' again, then this trial can come to an end!" ”

Lu Xiaoqi looked at Black Eagle and asked, "What do you mean, do you want me to promise him and share the country with him?" ”

Black Hawk nodded: "Yes! ”

The interaction between Lu Xiaoqi and Black Hawk, in Gilgamesh's eyes, is Lu Xiaoqi teasing his eagle, he really wants to leave Lu Xiaoqi behind, because of so many years of "loneliness", he doesn't want to continue to feel it.

"Okay!" Lu Xiaoqi agreed very simply, since Black Eagle has said that it is about to come to an end, there is no need to procrastinate.

"Good!" Gilgamesh stood up happily, "Let's go and sacrifice to Inanna and inform the goddess of your existence, and then I will crown you king on the tower of the royal palace, in front of the people of Uruk!" ”

Lu Xiaoqi was actually a little annoyed in his heart, but in order to complete the trial as soon as possible, it was up to him.

………………

The next day, Gilgamesh took Lu Xiaoqi to Inanna's temple.

At the entrance of the temple, there was the huge head of the demonic beast "Fen Baba" that Lu Xiaoqi brought in before.

The sacrificial ceremony is very simple, the sacrifice is naturally the head of Fenbaba, and the person who presides over the sacrifice is naturally King Gilgamesh, in the mouth of Gilgamesh, Lu Xiaoqi is a brave man who is willing to believe in the goddess, and specially sacrifices the head of the monster as a tribute.

Gilgamesh also announced that Lu Xiaoqi was about to be the "King of the Side-by-Side" and rule the land with him.

Gilgamesh is not a god, Inanna is the guardian god of Uruk that does exist, and she is also the enlightenment god of Gilgamesh, so after he finished praying, Lu Xiaoqi saw the eyes of the golden statue of Inanna glow, and glanced at him for a week.

It was a very uncomfortable feeling, Lu Xiaoqi could feel a very strong evil power from that light, but for some reason Gilgamesh didn't notice it.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaoqi and Gilgamesh stood on the tower of the palace, whether they were nobles, commoners or slaves, the people in Uruk City gathered under the palace and looked up at Gilgamesh.

Lu Xiaoqi couldn't see any respect in their eyes, only awe and fear.

This shows that they did not come here spontaneously, but were "notified" to come here, and they were forced to come here by royal power!

Gilgamesh himself wore a crown of pure gold inlaid with precious stones, so he also prepared one for Lu Xiaoqi, and in front of the people, he announced that Lu Xiaoqi was the same divine power inheritor as him, and would receive the throne and govern the country with him.

During the whole coronation process, Gilgamesh worked hard and used his divine power to create a lot of gorgeous "special effects", but the people were all very quiet, and there was no excitement at all, and some even trembled - one such king was enough for them, and a second one?

The people's expressions were gloomy, but Gilgamesh didn't care at all, he finally met a "kind" in his life and was willing to stay with him, so he was in a very good mood.

After the ceremony, Gilgamesh and Lu Xiaoqi returned to the palace together, and Gilgamesh proposed to build a new palace for Lu Xiaoqi, but Lu Xiaoqi refused.

Now is the time to show the ability to "govern the country", of course, he can't do things that cost the people and money, and he has to use a very short time to make the country show signs of strength.

………………

Three days later.

In the main hall of the royal palace, two thrones were placed side by side.

Lu Xiaoqi recruited all the nobles of the city into the palace, and he wanted to announce the first thing he would do after sitting on the throne, and of course, Gilgamesh fully supported him.

Gilgamesh himself had no interest in how to govern the country, and his ideas in this regard were primitive - he was the darling of the gods, a natural king, he had power, so he would provide protection for his kingdom, and in exchange, the people would be ruled by him, and that's it.

Lu Xiaoqi has talked to him a lot about governing the country in the past three days, but Gilgamesh has no interest at all, and finally he made a decision that Lu Xiaoqi will have full authority to govern Uruk City in the future!

Therefore, Lu Xiaoqi sat on the throne at the moment and announced his first royal decree to the nobles:

Code!

It will be a code of law that predates the Code of Hammurabi, which is claimed to be the earliest and most complete code.

In order to adapt to the type and primitive degree of society at this stage, Lu Xiaoqi did not copy the mature laws of later generations, which is unrealistic.

It is a relatively simple code, even a little simpler than the Code of Hammurabi.

This code includes 156 laws, which make corresponding provisions on criminal, civil, trade, marriage, inheritance, trial and other systems, and preserves the slave's right to life as much as possible, for example: if the slave owner kills a slave, if it is reported by another slave owner, the slave owner who killed the slave must pay a bull to the city-state, and provide an additional 30 slaves to the slave owner who reported it, and if he can't take it, he will use his wife and children to make up the number.

In addition, there are strict provisions on false accusations, which are based entirely on the Code of Hammurabi - if the plaintiff does not produce conclusive evidence, but the defendant produces rebuttal evidence, if the case is about human life, then the plaintiff will be put to death.

In order for this law to be enforceable, it is necessary to elect a series of officials, and these officials will naturally be chosen from among the nobles in the present palace, because most of them have slaves and private soldiers, which is the most suitable at this stage, and of course, if these nobles break the law after being officials, they will be judged by the king after being reported.

These two kings were not humans, but gods, so it is clear that they knew the consequences of "breaking the law."

The code was carved into a large bronze pillar that was inserted at the gates of Uruk so that it could be seen by all.

From the moment this code of law was seen by the people, Lu Xiaoqi could feel the huge power of faith gathered on him - people knew that this unprecedented thing was promulgated by the new king of Uruk, and for the slaves, it was tantamount to a lifesaver.

Many of the provisions in this law violated the interests of the aristocracy, and it was destined to die, but unfortunately it was God who promulgated it, so the magnates did not have the courage and possibility to say "no".

In addition to the law, Lu Xiaoqi also promoted the "water wheel" he was preparing to make in that small mountain village to encourage farming, and made great strides to improve the irrigation system.

Even in education, he was prepared, and the cuneiform script used in Uruk City, which not everyone could read and write, had older aristocrats open schools, taught good scholars to read and write, and personally taught about smelting iron, building ships, and improving fishing tools.

Eventually, he changed the calendar of Uruk to a solar calendar.

………………

This small country began to function, no longer a loose gathering place of a group of slave owners and slaves, but a country with a clear hierarchy and a detailed social division of labor.

Within half a year, the city of Uruk was almost completely renewed, and a year later, the influence of the "reform" radiated to all the areas under Uruk's control.

Three years later, the city of Uruk doubled in size, and every time there was a good harvest, because the number of tributes sent from all over the country was so great that it would clog the city gates; Almost all slave-owning families had people who could read and write cuneiform characters; In people's fields, tall waterwheels appeared, and a considerable part of agricultural tools were replaced by harder and more durable iron tools!

As a result, statues of Lu Xiaoqi have appeared everywhere, whether they are stone statues or bronze, they are all shaped to be extremely tall, and people's belief in Lu Xiaoqi has long surpassed that of the gods!

People's love for him has made the power of faith accumulated in Lu Xiaoqi already surpass Gilgamesh countless times.

In three years, Lu Xiaoqi proved to Gilgamesh with facts that he was capable of "governing the country"! (To be continued.) )
