Ishtar's Invitation

*Hahahaha, this king can't help but get excited!"

Such loud laughter rang out in the royal city and palace of Uruk.

In the spacious and magnificent palace, Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the two people sitting in the two newly created seats in front of him, his scarlet eyes filled with tears from laughing too much.

Of course—after driving away the 'eyes' of the gods in the Warcraft Forest, he used the moving tools in the Babylonian treasure house to bring Luo Wei and Enkidu back here.

Knowing that it was a misunderstanding, he would naturally not do anything to Enkidu again.

He left with great momentum, and when he came, his heart was full of joy.

"For the sake of providing such a wonderful performance for me, I will not hold you responsible for concealing your whereabouts, your offense against me, and your serious crime of fighting against me for the time being... "

"And I will also allow you to stand before my throne. You are still qualified to sit down!"

"Be happy and bow your head to praise this king's magnanimity!"

He hadn't seen him for seven days, and this guy was still so taciturn.

Sitting in front of the throne, Luo Wei shook his head, and then met a pair of emerald green eyes full of confusion.

"Don't worry, this guy is just like that." He responded.

"Yeah." Enkidu nodded. "What Luo Wei says is whatever it is."

"..."

It has to be said that in these seven days, he has taught Enkidu everything he knows.

But in disguise, it also made the child extremely dependent on him.

'It would have been better if I were not here..."

Of course~ Enkidu would definitely obey his words if he were there.

'I always feel that I have raised a good hero crookedly...'

Luo Wei held his forehead and said no more.

After not returning home for several days, not only Gilgamesh, but also the palace have not changed much.

It was still spacious and grand, with pillars supporting the huge dome, akin to pillars supporting the sky, and the golden floor in the sunlight falling outside.

There was a shimmering light, and the throne on the ninety-nine steps faced the main entrance.

'The only difference... is probably the newly established positions of me and Enkidu on both sides of the throne, right?'

'But I always feel like something is missing...'

"Speaking of which, where is Assistant Siduri?"

Luo Wei suddenly remembered what was missing.

As Gilgamesh's assistant, Siduri usually stays here all the time, even longer than him.

But now, she's not here.

"Siduri?"

Looking at the king sitting on the throne he asked puzzled.

"Hmph~ that girl thought she could hide it from me, but she didn't know that my wise eyes had already seen through her weak nature."

"As a punishment for deceiving me, she's not allowed to set foot in the palace!" Gilgamesh waved his hand.

In other words, Siduri collapsed due to exhaustion from days of work.

Ordered by Gilgamesh to rest.

Well..this guy is the greatest Tsundere in disguise.

"So... if you care about someone, just say it nicely." Luo Wei spread his hands and said, "As I said, a man acting like this is awkward and disgusting."

"It seems that after several days, your habit of barking like a wild dog has not changed!"

Gilgamesh sneered.

"Idiot." Luo Wei rolled his eyes.

Gilgamesh was furious: "You stupid... stupid guy!"

"Cerebral palsy."

"Disrespectful person..."

"Idiot."

"..."

"Look, you can't even speak well, and you can't even compare to me when you curse."

Luo Wei finally smiled, stood up, and said,

"If you care about people, you have to speak well - Siduri and you are not the same."

"Huh, do I, the King, need you to be nagging?"

Gilgamesh crossed his arms and turned his face away.

'Why are you acting like a child?'

Luo Wei laughed dumbly: "I've been tired for several days. I'm going to take a rest."

As soon as he took a step, Enkidu immediately jumped up from his seat and followed him like a shadow:

"Luo Wei, wait for me."

Well, there was another kid with him.

Watching Luo Wei and Enkidu descend the steps and walk out of the door, Gilgamesh, who was sitting on the throne, was silent for a moment and closed his eyes slightly.

'Is Siduri different from me?'

In fact, Luo Wei didn't need to say anything.

The young assistant officer was left to him by his father and has been by his side for more than ten years since he ascended the throne.

He was already used to having her by his side.

Until just now——

He saw Siduri arrive at the main hall before Luo Wei and the others, and was suddenly startled when he saw the exhaustion in her eyes.

No matter how powerful she was, Siduri was still a mortal.

Different from them.

"Have you changed your language habits? Hahahaha, that guy underestimates me and her too much!"

Gilgamesh laughed: "If I change, then I will no longer be the mighty king— that girl Siduri will be disappointed!"

"I hope you can really stand side by side with me...!"

"Luo Wei."

The king's shadow gradually dispersed on the throne.

He entered his own treasure house.

There was gradually no sound in the empty hall.

...

The other side.

Luo Wei left the palace.

At this moment, of course, as Gilgamesh's nominal assistant, he could no longer live in the temple.

Left with no choice but to live in a quiet courtyard not far from the palace.

On the other side, Enkidu has no place to live for the time being.

It seems that it is impossible to arrange him somewhere else.

However, after he took Enkidu there, he went out again.

"Luo Wei, where are we going?"

"Luo Wei, are these the houses and palaces you were talking about?"

"Luo Wei, it tastes so good, it seems much better than what you made..."

'I know I can't cook, please stop talking...'

He was troubled.

It really feels like taking care of a child.

He looked in front of him and saw that in the afternoon, the streets of the royal city were still a little noisy and people were coming and going, making it seem quite lively.

Uruk's business was relatively developed in this era.

Coupled with the factors of the Age of Gods, the scene presented was a hustle and bustle that cannot be verified by later generations.

He took the barbecue from the stall owner and handed it to Enkidu, who was next to him.

Looking at the curious expression on his delicate face, he couldn't help but smile.

"Eat... and then go back and have rest." He said.

The days to come may not be peaceful.

He himself took a bite of the roasted meat, savoring the delicious aroma and tender texture.

No matter what, eating is the same enjoyment in life.

'This is exactly what you go out for.'

After a few days in the woods, his mouth was so bland that he almost thought he had lost his sense of taste.

"It's delicious." Enkidu raised his eyes, and there was still a little bit of meat foam on his lips:

"However, I still prefer Luo Wei's."

"It smells like Luo Wei."

God made clay figure said with only serious eyes.

"..."

Luo Wei swallowed the roasted meat in his mouth.

He was about to say something, but suddenly paused, as if he felt something.

That was the divine aura remaining in the air of the royal city.

The presence that pulls him is extending an invitation to him.

"You go back to the courtyard where you were just now. I'll go do something. I'll be back soon."

"Yeah, okay." Enkidu always obeyed his words absolutely.

With his power, there was nothing to worry about.

Luo Wei walked away.

He already had a rough idea of who was coming.

"That goddess...Ishtar, what do you want to do again?"
