Chapter 614: King of Kings
Four days have passed since arguing with the ruins of the Temple of Damelsdam.
Dongfang Chen was fiddling with pieces of Half Moon Left on the ground, picking up a piece from time to time and approaching it to look at it carefully.
In the silence, he suddenly said aloud: "Master Damels has agreed to return to Fanem, Brother Gilga, why are you still sad?"
Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"
Gilgamesh's mood at the moment can only be described as confused. He was very puzzled, when he faced Mencazaro, who was merged with the giant kraken, he called Enqi to entangle with him for a few days and nights, but Dongfang Chen didn't say anything. But at the last moment, knowing that he was trying his best to save Mencazaro, that guy didn't even have a superfluous nonsense, and directly killed him in seconds.
In the face of Damels, who was apostated, extremely powerful, and had a rock-solid mental conviction, this guy only took less than ten minutes of conversation to make the Pure Land exiles, who were extremely revered by the Grandmaster, obediently hand over the artifact, and happily and voluntarily returned to Fanem.
He is now more and more unable to see through this regimental commander who is sometimes calm and resolute, and sometimes hangs his son. But then Gilgamesh was suddenly shocked in his heart: yes, no matter how unreliable this guy is, he is also the person who led the God Butcher Group to pull those pseudo-gods off the altar, and since the god servant has taken a fancy to him, he has his own reason in it, and he must not be justified by common sense.
What's the use of worrying about me here?
After figuring it out, Gilgamesh smiled and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, there is no dissatisfaction in your subordinates.
It's just that the debate between Your Excellency and Master Damels before is only a pearl of words, a mystery, and a memorable experience, and it still can't return to God.
Let the head of the regiment laugh. ”
Dongfang Chenxin said that Lao Tzu doesn't understand those, you can reminisce about it, hell. This guy is worthy of being born with a perfect personality, joy, anger and sorrow are invisible, and he speaks and does things without leakage, and Solomon is far worse than him. But don't get in the way of the master's business, whether you are the hero king or the bear king?
After complaining in his heart, Dongfang Chen asked Solomon again: "Father, you said that we are pursuing the journey of the artifact, where will we go next?"
After hearing this, Gilgamesh's mind came to life: India is located between China and Iran, you guy was born in China, so naturally you want to go there, why bother asking?
Hmph, you kid didn't ask my opinion on this kind of thing, but asked the traitor? What does that guy know? How can a hillbilly who has been dreaming of being the king of the world alone for thousands of years understand the heritage of our four great families.
As Gilgamesh had expected, Solomon didn't understand why Dongfang Chen would suddenly ask for his opinion. He has been away from the family for more than 10,000 years, and he is already very unfamiliar with everything. But the other party specifically asked himself, obviously giving enough face, and he couldn't help but express something.
After thinking about it for a while, Solomon replied cautiously: "Iran." ”
Gilgamesh sneered inwardly: Sure enough, the sycophants were in the wrong place, right?
Dongfang Chen smiled and asked rhetorically, "Oh, why?"
Solomon's cold sweat came down, and he cursed in his heart: "Fuck off, how do I know why?
Why? Why?
But he still looked thinking on the surface, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "This ...... It is the first intuition under it. ”
Gilgamesh's disdain was even more in his heart, and he was about to express his opinion, but he heard Dongfang Chen laughing: "Haha, what a first instinct, just listen to you, let's set off immediately and go to Iran!"
Solomon couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, and Gilgamesh smiled and nodded in agreement, but in fact, he had already greeted the ancestors of the two of them more than 100 times in his heart.
......
Two days later, the group returned to the Iranian province of Ilam, which was once home to the Susa dynasty, the most powerful of the Elamite dynasties.
It was this Susa Dynasty that fought with the Third Dynasty of Babylon in the northwest for more than 300 years, and the two countries won and lost each other. During the reign of King Shutruk, Elamite even captured the capital of Babylon and took countless riches, including the Code of Hammurabi, back to China. This is why the Code of Hammurabi was discovered in Iran. It wasn't until the eighth century B.C., when the Assyrian Empire, a nightmare of the two nations, suddenly became more powerful than ever, and everyone stopped shaking hands and making peace against a strong enemy.
Unfortunately, Babylon and Elam were at odds with each other, and they struggled for a long time before they were both destroyed by the Assyrian Empire. Babylon was not willing to be defeated, and for many years, it was not until the establishment of the Fourth Dynasty, the most powerful in the entire history of Babylon, that the power of Babylon shook far and wide. But it is a pity that at this time, the lively Crescent Zone stage can no longer be seen Elam, this ancient kingdom, has become a new star in the Middle East, the Persian Empire, a province forever, until today.
The former capital of the Susa Dynasty is now in ruins, and over the years countless archaeologists have come and gone, and have dug up the land inside and out, except for the occasional stone slab engraved with words and pictures, there is nothing.
The mutual positioning of artifacts can only give an approximate result, but when it comes to a target as small as a human being, the fragments of light are powerless. At this point, the key person in the search for the Guardian Alyux has to be brought in: Gilgamesh!
Because the ancestor of all civilizations in the entire valley of the two rivers, the so-called Fertile Crescent, was Sumerian. In the fourth millennium B.C., there was a well-developed network of agriculture, animal husbandry and water irrigation. Time passed to about 3500 B.C., and the two river basins entered the era of kings fighting for hegemony (in fact, more than a dozen city-states fought each other). For the sake of population, water, fields, pastures, mines, and even forests, no one was willing to back down half a step, and it was tossed like this for nearly a thousand years, until around 2,800 BC, this knockout finally ushered in the most powerful champion ever: the First Dynasty of Uruk!
In fact, among the hundreds of large and small kingdoms that the First Dynasty of Uruk hastened through thousands of years of changes in the fertile land of the Crescent, there is nothing special, and its strength is far inferior to the forces such as the Hittites, Babylon, and Elam, which rose later. The reason why it left a deep impression on later generations and made everyone recognized as the originator of the Mesopotamian civilization group is because of an archaeological excavation, a real, and currently known heroic epic in the world: "Gilgamesh"!
That's right, the protagonist in "The Epic of Gilgamesh" is now standing next to Dongfang Chen.
In the epic, Gilgamesh is the son of Lugalbanda and the fifth king of Uruk, and when he was a teenager, he was a typical second ancestor, relying on his power and powerful body, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil, and as a result, he made people angry. The gods knew that this son had two-thirds of the godhead and was by no means an easy lord to deal with, so according to his characteristics, he created the demigod and half-beast warrior Enkidu, who came to accompany Gilgamesh to practice alone.
As a result, these two fought until the darkness, and no one could help anyone, but instead played a sense of sympathy for each other, and finally joined hands to hoe the strong and help the weak and benefit the people. Of course, in the end, the ending of Gilgamesh and Enkidu is tragic, Enkidu suffers divine punishment for Gilgamesh and dies, and Gilgamesh's elixir of life that he finally found is stolen by a snake and eats it, and he returns to Uruk lonely, watching his age grow old, helplessly waiting for his final end.
There is no end to the epic here, because a third is missing, and no one knows what happened to Gilgamesh afterwards.
Everyone didn't know, but Dongfang Chen knew at this time. The so-called epic only describes a small part of the real experience of the people around him, which is estimated to be the part where bullying men and women do all kinds of evil, and the rest is the imagination and fabrication of people at that time. After all, what Nduki was like, he and Solomon had already met more than ten days ago.
However, as a kingdom of considerable eloquence, Gilgamesh did conquer all the surrounding tribal powers at that time, and pointed his sword straight to the coast of ancient Egypt and the Aegean Sea, and was praised as the king of kings.
Dongfang Chen withdrew his thoughts and smiled at Gilgamesh: "How is it?Brother Gilga, you are most familiar with this place, how to find Alyux, there should always be some eyebrows, right?"
