Chapter 853: The Ancient King
Lin Qiye had just taken two steps when a figure came behind him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Your Excellency, Dean." Merlin looked at Lin Qiye with a smile, "Are you going to find that tyrant?" ”
Lin Qiye nodded, "Well, what's wrong?" ”
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and reached out to shake it in the void, a small magic array opened in his palm, and a moment later, a copper dark cyan fragment fell into his hand and was handed to Lin Qiye.
"Take this with you." Merlin spoke slowly, "Maybe it will help you." ”
Lin Qiye took the copper fragment and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it carefully, this fragment is about half the size of a palm, judging from the outermost outline, it is a fragment broken from some kind of round badge, accounting for about one-third of the original badge, the surface is interlaced with complex and mysterious lines, it looks simple and very modern.
"This is ......" Lin Qiye looked at Merlin in confusion.
"This is a fragment of the ruins of the Uruk Kingdom that I found in those ancient years when I traveled around the world, and it may have something to do with that one."
"Lord Merlin, do you know anything about Gilgamesh?"
"Sort of." Merlin smiled, "If you want to explore the nature of the world, the pursuit of truth and true knowledge, you need to have a lot of experience and knowledge, I have personally traveled to those ancient civilization sites that once existed in the world, but eventually returned to dust, and I have also found some unknown secrets from them......
That, and his kingdom of Uruk, was also the subject of my study. ”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye's eyes lit up slightly.
He went to Gilgamesh in order to learn some past events from his words and deduce the cause, and now that Merlin knew about Gilgamesh's past, he naturally saved him the effort of slowly groping for it.
Lin Qiye immediately sat down again on the pony opposite Merlin.
"Your Excellency Merlin, if you have time, please tell me about Gilgamesh." Lin Qiye said, "After the fog fell, Great Xia's record of the ancient myths of Uruk was very vague, and I couldn't get important information from it at all. ”
Merlin smiled, "There are some things that involve the secrets of the gods, and of course it is impossible to record them in the history books......
Merlin stretched out his hand and gently sketched in the void, and after a while, a magic array automatically opened, and light and shadow circulated on the magic array, intertwining into different pictures.
The first picture is of an ancient and magnificent city-state, standing on the wild land, like a pearl in the wilderness, shining with the brilliance of civilization and wisdom.
"Around the 27th century B.C., in the ancient Uruk Empire, an unprecedented powerhouse came out, that is, the rumored hero king, Gilgamesh. With two-thirds of the blood of the gods, he has the power and wisdom beyond the world, and successfully became the fifth king of the kingdom of Uruk.
He is a tyrant who has never appeared in the history of the Uruk Kingdom, and under his tyranny, the entire kingdom is in a high-pressure environment, but in the same way, due to his absolute control over the kingdom and his extraordinary wisdom, the power of the Uruk Kingdom is also increasing at an astonishing rate. ”
Merlin controlled the magic array, and as soon as the screen turned, two figures slowly descended in the sky above the ancient city-state, ruling the kingdom of Uruk.
"Gilgamesh made this kingdom the most powerful existence on land, and Uruk's national fortunes were like a giant pillar in the sky, shaking the foundation of the nearby kingdom of God, so he sent two gods to the lower realm, in the name of removing Gilgamesh, a tyrant for the common people, in fact, they wanted to cut Uruk's national fortunes."
"Kill the country?" When Lin Qiye heard these three words, he asked suspiciously, "National fortune, can you really be beheaded?" ”
"Of course, the fortune of the country is the key to the continued prosperity of a country, and generally a truly ancient and powerful country will have the means to protect its own fortune, but the kingdom of Uruk at that time did not have such means......"
The picture on the Merlin magic array turned again, and in that ancient city-state, a young man in a royal robe with eyes as sharp as a sword, in the worship of all beings, stepped into the sky, holding a golden long sword, and fought with the two gods.
"In order to protect Uruk's national fortunes, Gilgamesh shook the two gods with the body of a demigod, and finally narrowly won." Merlin paused, and continued, "But when the two gods left, they left a message, and the day Gilgamesh died of old age would be the time when Uruk's fortune was beheaded......
Gilgamesh is just a demigod, although his combat power is amazing, but his lifespan is undoubtedly that of mortals, and one day he will die of old age, and Uruk, who has lost the protection of Gilgamesh, the tyrant, can only become a fish and meat at the mercy of the kingdom of God. ”
In the phantom of the magic array, Gilgamesh, who had been seriously injured in the battle with the two gods, sat weakly on the throne, his eyes staring at the sky outside the palace, as if thinking about something.
Later, Gilgamesh embarked on the path of eternal life. Merlin's fingertips flicked, and the magic array quickly flashed one picture after another, "He has been to the top of the mountains to look for fairy grass, and he has gone down to the bottom of the deep sea to explore the secret treasure, but in the end he has not found the method of eternal life.
He could only rely on miracle medicine to barely maintain his life, but in the end he still came to the end of Shouyuan. ”
In the shadows, the grand and luxurious palace was empty, and the elderly Gilgamesh sat alone on the throne, his wrinkled hands tightly gripping the sword of kingship in the armrest of the throne, and his eyes stared at the sky outside the palace, as if he was wary of something.
But in the end, when his life burned to the end, he still lost his breath......
He died, but he didn't close those eyes. Those angry, unwilling eyes still stared at the sky above all beings, and this lonely and unyielding king, until the last moment of his life, was still guarding his city-state.
After his death, the two gods came as promised, and just as they were laughing at Gilgamesh's death and old age, the sword of kingship held in Gilgamesh's hand flew out of its own accord and cut off the head of one of the gods in an instant......
That was the last thing the king of the city-state did for the city.
After losing one of the gods, the other god was shocked, thinking that this was a game left by Gilgamesh, and immediately left the world...... It wasn't until much later that the Kingdom of God sent people down to earth again and cut off the fortunes of the Uruk Kingdom.
In the end, the Kingdom of Uruk was lost in the long river of history. ”
Merlin's words fell, and the phantom in the magic array disappeared, and Lin Qiye sat quietly in front of him, falling into silence.
