For more than three years, this is the longest time that Lu Xiaoqi has left real time and space. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Uruk City is getting stronger and stronger, not only agriculture and animal husbandry have been greatly developed, but commerce has also become popular, because of the popularity of ironware, bronze is no longer the most important production tool material, Lu Xiaoqi ordered people to mint copper coins, as a currency promotion, with the official currency, Uruk City officially bid farewell to the original "barter" trading model.

Throughout the vast land of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers, the city-states of Uruk have become a consensus on the strength and wealth of the city-states, and even the people of other city-states are singing about the greatness and wisdom of the two "side-by-side kings" of Uruk.

The city of Uruk not only exported its own goods through trade, but also had its own writing and currency system.

Although these city-states belonged to the Mesopotamian Lianghe civilization and used some cuneiform script, they were similar to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States before Qin's unification of China, and there were obvious differences in their writing style.

Similarly, there is a considerable difference in writing between the different city-states here, because of the strength of the city-state of Uruk, the people of other city-states have gradually become popular to use the Uruk style.

There are also copper coins with the same specifications, thin and portable, which are also "popular" among various city-states, and these copper coins have no technology and cannot be imitated.

In other words, in the two river basins, currency is a new thing, and only Uruk City has the right to issue currency, and the purchasing power of these currencies has been affirmed by various countries after several years of trade, and what the significance of this means can be imagined.

The rapid accumulation of wealth has aroused the blush of some states, and they try to start a war, but unfortunately there is no need for an army, Lu Xiaoqi or Gilgamesh, whoever makes a move, the armies of those states do not even have a chance to set foot in Uruk's sphere of influence.

For a time, just like all the treasures of the world were gathered into Uruk City, Uruk City was called "the blessed country" by the people of all countries, and people of all classes longed to become the people of Uruk.

Even the two small cities adjacent to Uruk have voluntarily belonged to Uruk, and the king of the city has surrendered his royal power!

The whole city-state looks thriving, and the world is in the heart.

………………

The annual harvest festival is here again, and according to custom, Lu Xiaoqi is in charge of state affairs, and Gilgamesh is in charge of the sacrifice.

This year's tribute is a few percent more than last year's, from the periphery of the temple, along the steps, all the way to the foot of the statue of the goddess Inanna, which cannot be put down.

Gilgamesh praised the goddess for the richness, population growth, and expansion of the city, and thanked the goddess for her protection.

Because of Lu Xiaoqi's efforts to stop it, the human sacrifice was stopped, and at this time in the past, 10 slaves would be drained of blood.

Inanna's hymn states that her divinity is "war, wisdom, sex, and reproduction."

Therefore, the "Holy Marriage" ceremony at the annual sacrifice cannot be canceled.

The so-called "holy marriage" means that every year, a girl who is "dreamed" by Inanna will appear in her temple on the day of the sacrifice, and the king needs to find 7 of the strongest male slaves in the city for this temporary "priestess" to perform the "sacred" mating ceremony.

………………

This year, after Gilgamesh had finished reading Inanna's hymn, as in previous years, after a puff of smoke, a veiled young girl appeared in the temple.

Gilgamesh had seven strong slaves come forward, kneel before the maiden, and let her choose.

This time, the maiden "priest" shook her head at all seven slaves, and the slaves fell to the ground, and then she walked up to Gilgamesh and asked with a smile, "O king of Uruk, Gilgamesh! How many years have passed since you were born? ”

"It's been 19 years! Great Goddess! Gilgamesh replied.

"I am very pleased with your achievements, Uruk is now the strongest country in the world!" The girl's voice is the voice of a mature woman, and it has a sense of disobedience.

"That's the work of another king of Uruk!" Gilgamesh doesn't take credit.

The girl glanced at Lu Xiaoqi who was not far away, her eyes flickered, and then she turned her head to look at Gilgamesh: "But in the final analysis, you are the most orthodox king here!" ”

Gilgamesh frowned, he didn't know what the goddess meant.

"Since the fall of the gods, I have been alone, I gave you the power of the gods when you were born, and I have personally affirmed your kingship, I have watched your growth, and your joys and sorrows, and now your kingdom is strong and rich, and you have achieved fame, and you will be like this city, and the name of the king will never be immortal, and all this has met my requirements, so Gilgamesh, will you be my husband?" The girl's voice was full of anticipation.

Gilgamesh's body stiffened, and it was obvious that he was taken aback by the sudden "marriage proposal".

Lu Xiaoqi's eyes widened when he heard it not far away-this Nima is completely a "cultivation game", right? The goddess named Inanna had apparently been nurturing Gilgamesh since she was born - ordinary mortals could not satisfy her, and she had to possess divine powers, and the greatest power in the world to be "worthy" of her.

Gilgamesh has a good adaptability to the power of the gods, and can be regarded as completely mastered, the previous Uruk City was not good, but the current Uruk City is amazing, and it has completely entered the eyes of the goddess.

Therefore, the "cultivation game" was successful, and Gilgamesh, as a "child husband", was ripe and ready to "pick the fruit"!

Although Gilgamesh has always been an upright second-class beautiful boy, Lu Xiaoqi hopes that on this occasion, in the face of Uruk's patron saint, he can "leave three points on his lips".

However, it turned out that Lu Xiaoqi underestimated Gilgamesh's uprightness, and he would never do things that were false and wrongful.

"Great Goddess, what shall I offer in order to marry you? Is it the newly thriving city-state, or is it the countless strong sons? You have had a god as a companion, but who can satisfy your heart? Tanmus and Ishranu are both your former husbands, who can end well? They were turned into moles and jackals by you before the gods died! Gilgamesh was straight to speak.

This is really straightforward, even Lu Xiaoqi, who doesn't know much about this divine history, understands it, to the effect that Inanna is a "****" and a "sadist".

No wonder she degenerated into an "evil god"! Lu Xiaoqi sighed.

Sure enough, the "maiden" was furious when she heard this, and she really couldn't imagine that this young king, who was usually very respectful to herself, would ridicule her so much, although what he said was the truth.

Gilgamesh usually worships this goddess according to a high standard, firstly because he has been blessed by Uruk since she founded the city, and secondly, because Inanna is his god of enlightenment after all.

But seriously sacrificing and recognizing Inanna's "divine product" are two different things, let alone marrying this goddess.

The "girl" laughed angrily, didn't say anything, then turned her head to look at Lu Xiaoqi and walked over: "What about you?" Inheritor of Enki, would you like to be my husband? You will be officially crowned by Me, and you will be given divine right, an immortal crown, a great divine position, God's right to care for all things, the arts of music and musical instruments, the craftsmanship of carpenters, blacksmiths, leathermen, bricklayers, techniques such as weaving nets, metal smelting, writing, truth, sincerity, integrity, goodness and justice, aphorisms and wisdom, good words and bad words, judgment and decision, heroes and power, forgery, hostilities, riots, destruction and punishment of cities, in short, everything you can think of, I can give you! ”

Lu Xiaoqi said that he was simply lying on the gun: "Many of the things you said, it seems that I don't lack them!" Thanks, but still free! ”

"If you don't even look down on those, there are countless prostitutes who used to serve the gods, they have the most perfect posture and the most skilled service experience, you will have blissful enjoyment!" The girl continued to "bewitch".

She is truly a goddess in charge of "sex" and reproduction! Sure enough, the three sentences do not leave the old line.

Lu Xiaoqi shook his head.

Encountering Lu Xiaoqi's rejection again, obviously the goddess was completely annoyed and angry, the "girl" snorted coldly, the feeling that had made Lu Xiaoqi extremely uncomfortable before struck again, and a puff of white smoke rose above her head, and the white smoke went straight to the sky, and it dissipated without a trace after a while, and the girl collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Everyone can see that this goddess can't give up.

A good sacrifice brought out a calamity that was not justified.

"It's the final part of the trial!" On Lu Xiaoqi's shoulder, Black Eagle, who had been silent for three years, finally spoke, with a strange melancholy in his tone, "Overall, so far, I am satisfied with your performance!" ”

"Next, together with Gilgamesh, face Inanna's wrath! Don't forget, she's already an 'evil god', and a long time ago, she has lost her compassion! When Black Eagle finished speaking, he lowered his head again and stopped speaking.

Lu Xiaoqi and Gilgamesh walked out of the temple together, behind them, Inanna's idol split into countless pieces and fell to the ground, this was not their doing, but Inanna was conveying a meaning to the two of them - she would no longer shelter Uruk City, and she would fight with them endlessly!

"Boom!" A loud bang came from a distance, Gilgamesh jumped into the sky, and Lu Xiaoqi also jumped onto the top of the temple tower and looked into the distance.

In the distance, four stout black pillars appeared at some point.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Four "giant pillars" are coming in the direction of Uruk City!

What kind of pillar is that? That's four legs! It's just too high, and the part above the leg is already in the clouds!

With every step it took, the earth trembled, like an earthquake.

Getting closer and closer to Uruk City, Lu Xiaoqi saw its huge hooves like stepping on ants, stomping a huge waterwheel flat!

That's a cow's hoof! (To be continued.) )
