Chapter 893: The Temptation of Treasure
The king of the gods in Mesopotamia was Anu, and Ishtar was the daughter of Anu and the most favored one.
Ishtar is the goddess of love, fertility wars, nature and the harvest, and is also the goddess of Venus.
She is classified among the good gods, but her personality is exceptionally mischievous.
One of the most excessive things is that because of the conflict with Gilgamesh, he summoned the Heavenly Bull to Uruk - a terrifying beast that Annu gave to Ishtar and that even Ishtar himself could not fully control.
If it weren't for the joint efforts of King Gilgamesh and Enkidu to expel the Bull of Heaven, Uruk would no longer exist by now.
The various little troubles caused by her are countless.
It can be seen from this that she is by no means the kind of god who protects human life as her own, and the so-called 'goodness' in her heart should be said to be based on the original consideration of the whole of Mesopotamia.
Humanity is nothing more than a part of all Mesopotamia, and in addition to that, there are all things and all the gods and above all!
However, since King Gilgamesh raised this point, he naturally had his own confidence.
"Ishtar is a man who is obsessed with treasure, but does not have the golden rule of his own."
The Golden Rule is a skill that is equivalent to financial luck in some aspects. Gilgamesh has an A-rated golden rule, so he spends his life like dirt and is still rich.
And Ishtar, who does not have the golden rule, does not mean that she can't make money, but that she can't make much money, and every time she gets money, she relies on her own ability to earn it with hard work. And as much as you give, you will receive.
If it were just an ordinary person, this would naturally be a matter of course, but Ishtar is a goddess, and a goddess who loves money extremely much, and of course is extremely dissatisfied with this kind of wealth.
It's a pity that fate has already made a decision, and if there is no golden rule, there is none.
So, what should you do if you want to deal with someone who loves money but has no money?
That, of course, is smashed with money!
King Gilgamesh waved his hand, and the space fluctuated, and a pile of glittering treasures came out of the space and piled up on the floor of the palace, forming a hill more than a man high.
"Here, there are thirty percent of the treasures in my treasure house, so use these to buy the goddess of money!"
King Gilgamesh's treasury contains countless treasures, note that not everything can be called a treasure.
Picking up a piece of dog's head gold and smashing a gold cake is already valuable for ordinary people, but for Gilgamesh, it is garbage.
Only when value and artistry, historical, storytelling and other properties are fused together, can it become a treasure that Gilgamesh values.
This man-high hill, every treasure in it is rare, and it can tell a story.
If these treasures were sold and turned into mere gold coins, it would be enough to fill the whole of Uruk.
It was such a precious thing, but it was only thirty percent of the treasure trove of King Gilgamesh.
It can only be said that Gilgamesh is too rich.
With these thirty percent of the treasures in hand, the people left Uruk and headed for Mount Abif.
The mountain was so high that it is said that even the gods did not dare to climb it, but eventually, it was conquered by Ishtar, who built his own palace on this mountain, symbolizing that the mountain had been conquered by itself.
On top of a deserted mountain, it is still very easy to find a palace.
Riding in the Sun Carriage, the group soon found the palace of Ishtar.
It was a palace made of gold, extremely luxurious, and the wealth was fully displayed in front of everyone.
"This is the symbol of the conquest of Mount Ibif by Ishtar, the goddess of Venus!"
Matthew looked at the luxurious palace and was surprised.
But what Luo Zhi thought was: "Ishtar is really a god with perseverance!" ”
With Ishtar's fortune, the effort required to build such a golden palace is about the equivalent of a migrant worker with a monthly income of 1,000 and buying a 10 million luxury car - it will take a thousand years to complete, and there can be no interruption in between.
To accomplish such a feat, Ishtar's perseverance can be imagined.
"What are you doing here?"
A crisp sound sounded, and in front of the Sun carriage, a strange object in the shape of a crescent appeared.
This is Ishtar's bow and spaceship 'Marana', and Ishtar is sitting on top of Marana, looking at everyone, with a hint of ...... in his eyes Craving!
What she longed for was naturally not Luo Zhi and the others, but the car that Luo Zhi was riding, the Sun Carriage.
This carriage is too stylish, even if it converges all the visions, but it is also luxurious to the extreme, the whole is like gold, exuding the brilliance of the sun, the main library is a palace, large and comfortable.
In comparison, Ishtar's Marana is nothing more than a meniscus longbow a little taller than Ishtar, with a strange shape, but it is too simple.
Ishtar has never disliked her own Marana.
Until she saw the Sun Carriage.
"Ishtar, we're here to negotiate with you." Fujimaru stood up and said.
"Negotiations?" Ishtar retracted his gaze and said haughtily, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with the goddess?" ”
"We represent Uruk and King Gilgamesh!"
"Oh? In that case, allow you to speak in front of the goddess and say, what do you want to talk about? ”
Fujimaru Rika said, "We want to hire you to join Uruk and resist the attack of the Goddess of Warcraft. ”
"Refuse." Ishtar said directly, then turned around and prepared to leave.
Fujimaru Rika was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Ishtar, please look at our reward!" ”
Speaking of this group, they pushed open the front door of the Sun Carriage, revealing a large pile of treasure.
The dazzling golden light and the aura of treasure suddenly made Ishtar turn around.
She was also extremely shocked when she saw that pile of treasures.
Fujimaru Rika immediately said: "Here is 20% of all the treasures of King Gilgamesh, if you agree, these will all be your reward!" ”
"Twenty percent!"
Ishtar was startled, and his eyes seemed to change to the shape of gold coins, staring at the pile of treasures so tightly that he didn't move his eyes.
It can be seen that she is really very excited.
But alas, after a few seconds, Ishtar forced himself to turn his head away and said, "I'm sorry, I still refuse." ”
Fujimaru Rika said: "Then, the price will be increased to 2.5%, this is the highest price we can offer!" ”
This time, Ishtar turned his head away from looking at the treasures, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I still refuse." ”
Rika Fujimaru didn't know what to do for a while.
Although he got thirty percent of the treasure, according to the principle of bargaining, he only said that it was two percent at first, and if Ishtar was tempted, he could naturally slowly increase the price to thirty percent.
Ishtar's performance was obviously very exciting, but he still refused.
And the rejection is categorical!
This made him a little unsure.
