Chapter 982: Prologue to the Beginning and End (Finale)
——BC.2655——
Ryunosuke and his entourage were leaving the jungle in the preliminarily restored "Freedom Haven", being greeted by leopard people along the way.
Yes, "we".
"Long'er~Come and play again when you have time~" This is a gentle leopard man like a big sister next door.
"Goodbye Ryunosuke." This is a young girl leopard man of the same age.
"Brother Longlong—ahhh This is a little leopard man who looks like he is only five or six years old at most, and has just come to fall on the ground.
"Don't get stuck in traffic! Ryunosuke's little brother is leaving, so let the old lady get out of the way! This is a white shirt and black trousers, with a black coat written on the back of the shoulder, "Heaven and earth are useless", with a rebellious expression, at least more than thirty mad leopard people.
All the leopard people are all dressed in cute leopard doll costumes, huh...... Except for the last one.
In Yard's words, their nature is the same as those "Hundred Looks Hassan", using the same spiritual base, but each of them is an independent individual, compared to Hassan's different incarnations of the same person, the leopard people belong to the same person's incarnation of different ages.
Therefore, these cute little girls will eventually become the appearance of the grumpy old lady...... All right.
This was not their attitude at first, and they were a little wary when they were pointed to the depths of the jungle by the leopard men who jumped out one after another, and when the goddess showed that they could be trusted, they immediately burst into joy.
Quetzal Cojatl, at first glance, looks like a big sister in South American attire, and lives in the Aztec-style platform pyramid, which seems to be very calm and majestic, but in fact, it is ......
"Oh, guest, welcome, welcome." ( ̄ω ̄)
"[Let's play LuchaLibre (Mexican wrestling) with my mother!] If you lose, you will die! "(▼Dish▼#)
This sport, which may sound similar to "wrestling", is completely different in practice, and another translation, "freestyle fighting", describes it more accurately, that is, free combat without many rules other than the restriction of not holding weapons.
At that time, Mathew was stunned when he heard this, and Ryunosuke could only drop the golden sword and come forward to fight with Quetzalcoatl, after all, his experience in these peculiarities had significantly improved his combat level.
Outcome...... Beaten into a pig's head, of course.
However, the goddess apparently had no intention of killing her, and after beating Ryunosuke badly, she told her maids, all of whom were leopards, that the outsider could be trusted, and walked away.
Next, Ryunosuke naturally underwent a series of treatments, listened to information, retrieved the car, upgraded, and left.
In general, although the Three Goddesses Alliance agreed to destroy Uruk together, the methods were different, [Gorgon] wanted to summon an endless tide of beasts to bulldoze Uruk, [Ishtar] wanted to take all of Uruk's wealth, and [Quezal Koyatel] planned to expand the jungle on its own, and after spreading to Uruk, all humans would be animalized and wrestling with her...... I have to say that this plan is quite cute.
As for the car, now its surface and key parts are completely covered with different kinds of plants, which look like a strange bush.
————
"Stop!" "Stop!"
Unsurprisingly, before approaching the southeastern walls of the human city-state, the strange scooter was stopped by a group of patrolling Uruk soldiers.
Obviously, because the beasts from the southeast jungle are all unintelligent beasts, they will make a sound to stop them, and if it is such a "monster" rushing from the northwest, it is possible for them to attack directly.
Speaking of attacks...... Ryunosuke looked at the patrol's equipment, wearing a leather helmet, a patchwork metal cuirass, no protective gear for his hands and feet, and an ordinary wooden spear in his palm.
How can you fight against the beast tide in the northwest at this level? Could it be that the soldiers over there are better equipped?
Since it was already close to the city wall at this time, there was no need to drive it under the city wall, so Ryunosuke stopped the car and replied to the Uruk soldiers: "We are here to rescue Uruk from his predicament, please inform your king!" ”
No matter what era it is, Gilgamesh must have the skill of "clairvoyance", and at least a glance can clear the ins and outs of things, so he shouldn't be stopped for too long-
"Yusheng Ryunosuke, Matthew, Yade, and Lin Hao, right?" Ryunosuke didn't expect that after hearing his answer, the patrol captain who was slightly better armored took out a white cloth with a lot of handwriting directly from his pocket, read it according to the script, and then looked at it suspiciously: "But why are there only two of them?" Does this metal leaf monster have a name? ”
"Hmm...... It's us, but something happened, Lin Hao is gone, the car has no name, this is Yade. Ryunosuke lifted Yard up and shook it.
"What this! It's this one! Yard shouted.
"That's right, Wang said, there should be something wrong with these guests that caused the attrition, but it doesn't matter, come with me now," the patrol captain looked at the cloth again, put him away, nodded, turned to his subordinates beside him, and said, "You severals! Call some more people and bring that strange car into town! ”
How could Gilgamesh foresee our arrival and problems so accurately in advance? Ryunosuke was a little surprised at first, but quickly figured it out again: this is the god generation, Reiko has transferred such a big movement, and the goddess has directly sent the leopard man to find him, so there is no reason for the most ancient king not to notice it, he only needs to observe the situation for a period of time after that, it is enough to determine the situation and issue orders to some patrols that may encounter us.
"There is labor." Ryunosuke nodded, got out of the car with Matthew, and handed it over to the rest of the patrol to deal with.
Given that Uruk could be attacked at any moment, there was no fragile gate on the surface of the wall, and a single person could only go up and down on an elevator that could only hold three or four people, and the car took the large gondola used for the cargo cart on the other side.
Since there is no need to chase outside, this inefficient way of entering and exiting will not have a bad impact on the battle situation.
Soon, Ryunosuke and Mathew arrived at the giant wall and began to look out at the city surrounded by walls.
In addition to the large adobe and stone houses, the most striking thing is the magnificent temple of Ishtar and three royal palaces of various sizes.
…… Three-seater?
——[The country collapsed and the ruins were mottled]——
It is much easier to walk inward from a wall where there are enough chariots to walk side by side than from the outside, after all, if those demonic beasts can climb the city wall, of course, they choose to jump down, and no matter how fast the road up and down is, it can't compare.
After a slight delay, Ryunosuke and Matthew drove the DIY vehicle with a mix of rugged industrial and natural freshness towards the "Circle" of "Uruk City".
When viewed from above, the entire city of Uruk is roughly in the shape of a giant eye, with two huge walls to the southeast and northwest forming a curved upper and lower eyelids respectively, and in the center are the three royal palaces surrounding the temple of Ishtar, and the "ring area" composed of roads and flowers and trees between them resembles a large pupil.
"Exchange silver here—" "Come and try it, good ale!" ""Sell gauze skirts and send hook ribbons~"
Ryunosuke drove the "Freedom Haven" all the way, and most of the residents of Uruk just looked at each other curiously, then turned to go about their business, and the noisy clamor of the busy street market made people think that this was some kind of peaceful and prosperous time.
But in fact, this is a city that has been suppressed by the three forces, and it can be called a state of survival.
Aren't they worried about the monsters outside the walls?
The captain of the previous patrol had been invited to ride in Ryunosuke's car at this time, but for some reason he kept standing, but the car was not roofed in the first place, so Ryunosuke followed him.
"Are the guests surprised by their attitude?" The patrol leader seemed to see Ryunosuke's surprise and took the initiative to ask.
"Hmm...... I think that in this case, whether it is 'hatred of the enemy' or 'striving for strength' or even 'pessimism and disappointment', 'hysteria' is a possible emotion," Ryunosuke tilted his head slightly and gestured to the surrounding Uruk citizens, "But 'business as usual' is really incredible." ”
"Haha, about this, the king also mentioned it, saying that if the guest asks, he will sing a song to you directly - uh-huh!" The captain said, then cleared his throat.
"Huh?" Ryunosuke almost missed the steering wheel.
The last time he did this, it was the one in Rome, did the emperor and the king have this hobby?
Matthew looked at him in amazement, thought for a moment, and tentatively began to clapp.
"[Life is originally a play~Why care too much about grievances and grievances~]" The captain sang directly, although his voice was rough, but there was barely some rhyme: "[Fame and fortune ~ something! ] Life doesn't bring death, death doesn't take away—"
"What have you translated?" Ryunosuke tilted his head slightly and glared at Yard.
"How do I know? Yard mobilized the pattern on the cube and put on a helpless expression.
"[The world is unpredictable, the joys and sorrows of the world ~ There is no chance to reunite in this life and the next life ~]" The captain continued to sing, or shouted Mai: "[Love and hate~ What a thing! The boat will go to the bridgehead and walk naturally——]"
If Ryunosuke wasn't driving, he would have freed up his hands to beat Yard.
Matthew seemed to be happy to hear and gave him a beat.
The most terrifying thing was that the surrounding Uruk residents seemed to think that this was some kind of show when the car passed by, and began to throw vegetables, fruits, and flowers on it, and the more skillful wine merchants directly threw a large glass of ale to the captain.
After a few sips, the captain continued to sing: "[My proud smile ~ My proud smile ~ Take the wine as a song and take advantage of this day-]"
"It's hard to hear!" At this moment, with a coquettish reprimand, a bright white light crossed the zigzag and graceful trajectory, and knocked the captain off the car with a bang.
"Hahaha! This is the end of my work of leading the way, guest. The captain stood firm in a somersault, greeted Ryunosuke, and walked away.
Whew, w
The white trainer did not bounce back after beating the flying captain, but directly circled the "Freedom Haven" several times, tied it firmly and took it to the side of the road.
It was only then that Ryunosuke could see what it was.
It was a glittering gemstone chain with a golden triangle at one end and a silver ring at the other, but the color between the two was a gradient, and there was no specific color division at all.
At this time, the other end of the chain was in the hands of a little girl about six or seven years old on the side of the road, with an angry expression, and not far behind her, there was another middle-aged man with a helpless face.
"Mr. Tosaka?" Ryunosuke blurted out.
Isn't it the head of the Tosaka family, Tosaka Tokitoto, who is standing there? The characteristic parted head and mustache, the "elegant" tone and expression at all times, and the red suit and red wine - oh, no, he was just wearing a dark red oversized cloth and cloak.
As for the little girl, she wore a pure white dress decorated with many gold and blue enamels, a crown of princesses with golden silk on her head, and a pair of playful double ponytails, and in addition to the chains she was tugging on, there was a huge bow of gold and blue floating beside her, and the whole person exuded an indescribable, unearthly temperament.
Although the eyebrows and eyes are a little unfamiliar, if you look closely, you can still see some shadows of Rin Tosaka.
So this is the father and daughter of the Tosaka family who came to Uruk for a tour?
"Humph! Even if you know Tosaka, it's useless! The girl barely had any strength in her hands, and the chain dragged Ryunosuke's car slowly but surely over the other.
Ryunosuke noticed that because the commotion just now was a bit loud, there were still many people who followed and planned to see the excitement, but after seeing the girl at a glance, he turned around and left without saying a word.
"In the whole of Uruk, I am the only god [Ishtar] who can show off!" The girl said fiercely: "If you dare to attract more attention than me, it will be confiscated!" ”
At this time, Tosaka Tokitomi behind her, or Mr. Tosaka, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands towards Ryunosuke.
"Huh." Ryunosuke shook his head and jumped out of the car with Matthew, letting little Ishtar pull the car in front of him with great difficulty, and then received it with a sigh of nowhere.
"Damn! Savage animal god, you actually calculated me! As the car was taken away, an unusually strong natural aura seemed to spread out of the void, completely enveloping Ishtar, and the girl fell backwards as soon as she stiffened like a lightning strike.
"Mr. Ryunosuke Yusheng, Miss Matthew, I have something to discuss with you, can I go over to the house?" Tosaka Shichen grabbed the stiff Ishtar and nodded slightly to the two: "Now please call me [Jewel Knight Tosaka], by the way, my identity is [Uruk's Prime Minister]. ”
