2. The other side of the flower

"Okay, okay, I'm just joking, how could Elishkigal be lazy?"

Qi Wuce, who didn't intend to overkill the joke, changed his tone in time, depriving Elleshkigal of the opportunity to continue struggling loudly.

"Let's talk about it first, I'm really not lazy!"

For some reason, Elishkigal seems to be concerned about Qi Wuce's thought that he is lazy.

"Yes, yes, of course you won't be lazy, after all, you're the hardest working of all the Hades I know."

"Huh? True...... Are you sure? ”

After hearing Qi Wuce's words, Elishkigal was momentarily incredulous at this fact.

"Of course it's true."

Qi Wuce remembered the gods he knew.

There is no need to say more about the Huaxia Prefecture, the standard Ten Palaces of Yan Luojia are a group of ghosts; On the Greek side, this is a bunch of little gods and monsters under the centralized power of Hades to do things for him; Ah San, Aztec and then count the underworld of several other gods.

In this large number of gods, Qi Wu couldn't think of a more model worker than Eleshkigal.

After all, those underworlds are all controlled by multiple gods, and the Sumerian underworld is only managed by Ereshkigal alone, and the workload is naturally incomparable.

"Humph! Sure enough, among my fellow Rulers of the Underworld, I am also the best one. ”

Upon learning the truth, Eleshkigal began to feel proud, the best news she had heard in recent times.

"Let's not talk about other things in the underworld, but I have to ask you for one more thing."

"Huh? Is there something wrong? But as long as it's the underworld, it's all on me, I'm very trustworthy! ”

Patting his chest, Ereshkigal made a promise to Qi Wuce with a confident expression.

"In that case, then please send me to the edge of the cliff last time, and I will have to jump from there this time."

Qi Wuce made his request to Eleshkigal.

"Okay, of course......"

"Wait! What did you say? Is this in a hurry to leave? Wouldn't you stay a little longer? ”

His confident expression suddenly collapsed after hearing the news of Qi Wuce's request to leave.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in Elishkigal's heart.

She had been lonely for a long time, and it was rare for a wise creature to arrive in this dead and silent underworld, so the maddening loneliness had become her long-standing companion.

If it weren't for the fact that the gods had a different way of thinking than humans, they wouldn't be the one who still has emotions in the underworld.

Seeing Elle's face turn from sunny to cloudy, Qi Wumo could only secretly say sorry in his heart.

"Hawkers, you don't have to be sad about it, the mountains and rivers meet, if I can be reincarnated as a human being, I will come to the underworld in about a few decades, and then I can have a good chat."

Saying this, Qi Wuce was actually a little unsure in his heart, after all, the seal of reincarnation had been damaged, and even he himself was not sure whether he could be reincarnated in the next life.

Elishkigal was happier than Qi Wuce's worries, a few decades was too short a time for a god.

"I promise you, but every time I come in the future, I'll tell me something interesting."

There are little stars in Elle's eyes, because the story of the world has always been full of unknowns in her heart, and it is precisely because of this that it is full of anticipation.

"Then it's decided, and every time I can come back in the future, I'll tell you some interesting stories."

Qi Wuce smiled, a goddess like Elishkigal was really rare, and that purity was as beautiful as a freshly blooming lily.

The screen turns.

Qi Wuce stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the bottomless darkness, and some expectations for the future faintly rose in his heart.

Where will the next life be?

What will he be reborn in the next life?

What kind of respectable friends will he make in his next life?

One question after another emerges in my mind, but the future is hidden in the unknown after all, and the truth can only be known by leaping forward.

"Hoo ......"

Taking a few deep breaths, suppressing the expectation of unknown adventures in his heart, Qi Wuce looked back at Eleshkigal.

"Elle, I wonder if you've ever seen a blooming flower?"

"Flowers? That kind of beautiful thing is just a legend to me, as the goddess of the underworld is always surrounded by death, how can I ever see such a legendary thing! ”

"However, there seems to be some impression in Ishtar's memories and in some human books."

Faced with Qi Wu's question, Elishkigal didn't know why.

"Really? Haven't you even seen a flower? ”

Qi Wuce pinched his chin and read silently.

"Woo! What a look on your face! Are you taking pity on me? ”

"That's it, I'm sad for you who haven't even seen flowers."

Qi Wuce was blunt, and his eyes were fixed on Ereshkigal.

"What the hell are you trying to say? I remember you once said to me, 'My work is worthy of respect, so I don't need pity,' and I can't see what is alive, which is what I have to endure for this job. ”

Because of Qi Wuce's mercy, a wave of anger rose in the heart of Elishkigal, who felt that his work was being looked down upon.

"I'm sorry, please don't be upset, I just wanted to say ......"

"If you haven't seen flowers, then as your friend, I will take flowers as a gift to thank you for your help to me!"

As Qi Wuce's words fell, Elishkigal's anger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Really? Is it really possible to do such a thing? My underworld is only mountains and endless cold, can even such a place bloom? ”

The tone was a little eager, and there was hope for the impossible, and Elishkigal's heart was already excited beyond measure.

"Of course you can, if that kind of flower, even in a dead and silent place like the Sumerian underworld, can bloom unrestrained."

He took out a handful of seeds from his pocket and placed them in the palm of Eleshkigal's hand with a smile on his face.

"Collect, this is the seed of that flower."

After receiving the seed, Elishkigal was a little flustered, and she felt uneasy for fear that the dead air surrounding her would cut off the life of the seed.

"Don't worry, this flower is the flower that is suitable for growing in the underworld, whether it is dead, cold, or decayed, it can only become the nourishment for it to thrive."

"It has a beautiful name called ......"

"The flower of the other side."

A big smile on her face was on her face as she looked at the seed in her hand, and although she had never heard the name of the flower on the other side, she just knew that it must be a beautiful flower.

The most gorgeous flower that blooms after defeating death.

"Then make an appointment, the next time I come to the underworld, let me see the flowers on the other side of the mountains!"

Eleshkigal nodded, but her eyes did not take her eyes off the seed she was holding in her hand.

"Goodbye, looking forward to the next reunion."

Qi Wuce jumped and fell into the darkness.

It wasn't until Qi Wuce's figure completely disappeared in the darkness that Elishkigal turned away from the cliff.
