——BC.2655——

"Jewel Knight?"

"Prime Minister?"

Ryunosuke and Matthew each expressed surprise at the different titles, and after one glance at each other, they explained to each other:

"I feel that the 'Jewel Knight', which is similar to a medieval title, does not fit the style of Uruk in the mythological era." Ryunosuke said.

"But according to the Chaldean sources, Uruk's positions after the king were 'consuls' and 'chief priests,' and there was no such title as prime minister at all." Matthew said.

"I can prove that! Yard jumped out and shouted.

"Hehe," Tosaka Tokitomi or Tosaka laughed, "I gave this code name myself, as for the 'Prime Minister', when the king asked me what position I wanted, I casually said this, and the king directly announced, 'Uruk will add the post of Prime Minister from today.'" ”

This is really like the way of the reckless king......

Ryunosuke thought back to the way Gilgamesh was acting, stopped asking questions, and left the main road with Mathieu and Tosaka, who had picked up Ishtar.

If it is said that it is the "prime minister", then his official residence should be relatively high-level? Of course, it could also be in the interior of a royal palace.

The trio and one god – including Ishtar – finally arrived at a ...... "gem shop" on the outskirts of the Circle, near the temple of Ishtar.

It is not much different from the adobe houses of ordinary citizens, except that it has two floors, and the decoration is relatively ornate.

Therefore, does the "prime minister" in the king's psychology mean "the wronged boss who professionally takes care of the goddess of trouble and provides gems to please her"?

Ignoring Ryunosuke's strange gaze, Tosaka expertly sent the fainted little goddess back to her children's room on the second floor, which was decorated with various gems, and returned to invite Ryunosuke and Mathew to sit down in the living room, and then began to explain the matter of trust.

"You see, this is the Lock of the Earth," Tosaka placed the crystal clear gold and silver gemstone chain that Ishtar had held in his hand before, and placed it on the table, "It should belong to Enkidu, but now something has gone wrong, it was discovered by Ishtar in advance and taken it for herself, and there is absolutely no hope of getting it back from what she has put into her possession." ”

Aren't you holding it?

"Do you want us to find out Enkidu?" After thinking about it, Ryunosuke gave up complaining and asked directly.

"No, Enkidu is not a naturally grown child, when he appears only depends on when the gods create him, this is not something to interfere with, I just hope that you can join the king to defeat the demon beast 'Fenbaba' in the forest," Tosaka continued: "In the absence of Enki, the king will probably not be able to defeat it alone, note that I am not questioning the king's strength here, but' Gilgamesh and Enkidu defeated the monster Finbaba together, and with Enkidu disappearing, if the king's actions continue to deviate from the historical facts of Gilgamesh, it is likely that he will lose his status as the "Most Ancient King". ”

That epic hasn't been written yet, has it? I always feel that these heroic spirits with clairvoyance skills and their bodies have the potential to be gods.

However, while Tosaka has made it clear, a new problem has arisen......

"Which king?" Before Ryunosuke could speak, Matthew took the lead and asked, "We were very curious from the beginning, why are there three royal palaces in Uruk City, could it be that the rulers of other cities have moved here because of the union?" ”

"Of course, it's because there are three 'Gilgamesh'~" As a voice like a little boy sounded, a handsome young man with blond hair and red eyes walked in from outside the door.

He looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, with a lively expression, dressed in a crisp white shirt and shorts, adorned with only a few gold threads, but with a large red pattern of magic on his arms and torso, and a bright gold chain that resembled the "place of the earth" crossed his shoulders and wrapped around his arms.

"See my king." Tosaka immediately got up, took a half step back, bowed, and did it all in one go.

"Tosaka, I only like this set of adults in the state of adults~" The blonde boy complained, turning his gaze to Ryunosuke and Matthew who didn't have time to react at all: "This king is the childhood of the all-knowing and all-powerful Gilgamesh, but it is not the state of drinking rejuvenation medicine, in other words, the time when this peculiar point occurred is the time period when this king naturally grew to such a state. ”

"Judging from the appearance of the goddess Ishtar, I almost guessed it," Ryunosuke nodded, "So, the other two kings of the Ring District are actually?" ”

"Hmm...... That's right, it's another Gilgamesh and another Gilgamesh, who came in a Servant state, my adult version," the blonde boy scratched his cheeks, his eyes looked to the side, and he seemed a little ashamed: "At that time, the Three Goddesses Alliance suddenly called, and I had to activate the [All-Knowing and Almighty Star] to seek powerful heroic spirits to help solve this matter, and the result ......"

Because even in his childhood posture, he firmly believed that he was the strongest, so he directly recruited the "adult version of himself", and did not give other heroic spirits room to accept the summoning at all.

Ryunosuke sighed secretly, deciding not to say this obvious conclusion so as not to annoyed the young Gilgamesh, and continued to ask, "So what is the current situation?" ”

"As a result......" Young Gil glanced in the direction of the palace: "They occupy the Archer and Caster positions respectively, and each of them uses the [Heaven and Earth Separation Star] and [King's Cannon] to clean up the attacking monsters and beasts in large areas, and now they are the defense chiefs of the southeast and northwest walls respectively, and my [King's Treasure] was sent by them to 'grow honestly according to the original history' and 'control Ishtar by the way, don't let her make trouble' because it is incomplete." ”

"Hmm......" Ryunosuke didn't know what to say for a moment, and Matthew struggled to hold back a smile.

"So, I still have to defeat Finbaba, find a way to get Ishtar to confess to me and reject her, defeat the Bull of the Sky, and finally find the elixir to feed the snake," the blonde boy said comically, "I am interested in the green-haired best friend, but there is nothing I can do if he refuses to show up." ”

"You can't see it even if you use the [All-Knowing and Almighty Star]?" After several peculiarities, Ryunosuke was accustomed to the discrepancy between this fact and history, and took the initiative to ask.

"In the 'original history', Uruk was not attacked by the Three Goddesses Alliance," the young Jill patted the [Heavenly Lock] wrapped around his arm, "If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask the guy who wrote the epic to change [Enkidu] to [Enkidu]." ”

Memes?

King Gilgamesh found a chain in the wild, recognized it as his only friend, and then defeated the monster Fimbaba with the chain, and broke the chain because of the curse, lamenting the impermanence of life and going to find the elixir...... Seems to make sense?

It's weird, okay!

————

According to the Epic of Gilgamesh, Finbaba is a rock monster that inhabits the forest, it is composed entirely of dirt and stones, and imitates the beast to give birth to sharp claws and sharp horns, because there is no fatal part, it was completely tied up by Gilgamesh and Enki with the double lock of heaven and earth before completing the killing, and it seems that the bull of the sky after this treatment is also the same.

Some people in later generations deduced that both Finbaba and Enqi were both clay creatures, and it is likely that the former was a failed product produced by the goddess when it was manufactured, and arranged for the latter to destroy it to obtain merit.

In addition, in the epic, Finbaba has the title of "Patron Saint of the Forest", which can be said to prove this from the side.

However, the situation at this time is different, Uruk is under the siege of the Three Goddesses Alliance, the city wall is compressed into the shape of an eye, and the forest where Fenbaba is entrenched is right in one of the "corners", directly blocking the way for Uruk soldiers to go out to explore and gather resources.

Destroying the giant monster that could not communicate and prevent anyone from stepping into the forest became a priority, and it made sense that the task would be handed over to the idle young Jill when the ordinary soldiers were basically in vain.

"Hmm...... So my 'Finbaba' looks like this? Youngster sighed as he looked at the huge earth monster wandering by the small lake in the woods, and then added, as if explaining, "Every Gil encounters a different Fimbaba in appearance. ”

"It's a bit of an exaggeration, can you stop it, Matthew?" Ryunosuke also stared closely at the monster in the distance.

"I, I'll try." Matthew replied uncertainly.

It was a blue-gray stone monster that looked like an orangutan, with strong arms and legs, a stone blade of the same color in its hands, and a square head with no features and clumps of weeds.

"My Heavenly Locks don't work very well against this kind of non-divine thing, and I don't have the second chain of Enkidu," Younggil raised his hand and aimed at the guy, "I can only choose to kill it as soon as possible - the Chaldean Lord over there, do you need any weapons?" ”

"No, I'll be enough with this sword." Ryunosuke glanced at the twelve stars flashing on the golden sword in his hand, although he still couldn't liberate the treasure, but there was no problem in slashing and killing miscellaneous monsters, and he inexplicably felt that he had an advantage over giant monsters.

"Well, speaking of which, it doesn't seem to be your sword in the treasury, so you'd better not be seen by that golden me." As he spoke, Jill jerked his palm forward, and several golden ripples appeared around Finbaba, and the same number of sharp chains rushed out of it and stabbed at it.

After a clanging sound, Finbaba was unscathed, but he was enraged by the sudden attack, and viciously turned in the opposite direction of where Younggil was.

That's right, if the treasure from the parallel world is really seen by the adult version of Gilgamesh, will it say "The treasure outside the world is not interested in the king" or "Since it came to this world, it is the king's"?

Ryunosuke kept rushing out under his feet while scolding his stomach, and although his body was as fragile as before, his strength, agility, and defense were strengthened through "magic release", which was enough to fight the same heroic spirit.

Cha!

The golden greatsword slashed upwards and cut a deep cut directly from Fenbaba's hind legs to his waist, but since it was not a living thing, the deep scratch made it look like it was roaring in rage for the time being.

Anyway, it doesn't have a mouth, so where does it roar?

"[Ang-]"

Boom! While!

Fenbaba turned around angrily, but Ryunosuke had already circled behind it before that, and the only thing that appeared in front of it at this time was Matthew with a large shield in the distance.

"Hey—big man—I just hit you—" Matthew struck the shield twice with the hilt of his sword, shouting at Finbaba from afar.

[Shield of Determination]!

Finbaba may not have understood, but Matthew's obvious provocation he understood, and he roared angrily and rushed at her.

Click-click!

Ryunosuke followed closely behind the giant, busily chasing and slashing its calves and heels, but although Finbaba was similar to a humanoid, it was not in essence, and there were no tendons on his heels and calves at all, so his movement speed was not affected at all.

Woo, boom!

It seemed that it was quite a distance, and Finnbaba had already stepped in a few steps, and as soon as he raised his big foot, he stepped towards Mathieu, who had no choice but to be direct, "oh ah", and took the initiative to raise his shield to greet him.

[It's a hazy chalk wall]!

At this moment, an oval-shaped golden light suddenly appeared on the big shield, and it bounced back directly from Fenbaba's big foot stomp, causing its scheduled knife and slash punch to completely fail, and the whole "person" fell back ridiculously.

"Well done!" Ryunosuke behind Fenbaba sighed in admiration, and suddenly stepped forward, slashing the big sword in his hand at the heel that Fenbaba currently used to support his body.

Click! Finbaba's ankle was completely crushed under the influence of its own weight, and the whole "person" collapsed on its back to the sky.

In the next moment, dozens of golden ripples lit up around it, sticking out the same number of golden chains to bind its joints and parts that were easy to exert force, and the fallen Fenbaba struggled frantically, but he couldn't get rid of the control of these chains at all.

"I don't know where this stone guy is deadly, but let's cut off the head first." Avoiding the giant's struggling body, Ryunosuke went all the way to its head, slashing several swords into the stone monster's "neck", and finally slashing it in two.

This behavior seemed to be effective, and Fenbaba, who had been roaring incessantly and almost breaking free from the Heavenly Lock, fell silent in an instant.

Whew-

And just when Ryunosuke was about to say something to Young Jill and Matthew, Fen Baba's "eyebrow position" suddenly flew out of the illusory figure of a young girl, he and she were wearing a loose white robe, with long green hair, a pair of golden eyes, and a neutral and beautiful face was full of anger at this time, he and she stared at Young Jill fiercely, and disappeared in an instant.

…… How did Enki come about?
