Take the initiative

In this land, Gilgamesh is recognized as a tyrant.

He has no respect for the gods and takes the lives of his subjects.

He sits on the throne and arbitrarily decides the fate of the people and deprives his subjects of their property and lives at will.

But when it comes down to it, Gilgamesh is just a tyrant, not a coward.

He is not a king of mediocrity.

As the person who leads this country, he has never given up on governance, but because of his extreme ego and willfulness, he often makes decisions that ordinary people think are extremely absurd, and the methods he uses to govern the country also appear cruel and domineering.

It's just that because he is an extremely egoistic king, he pays more attention to the safety of the country.

The country belongs to the king.

He can do whatever he wants, but he will never allow outsiders to point fingers, let alone intrusion and harm from foreign objects!

"They dared to intrude on my territory? I will let those insects who dominate the life in the gutter know that the things owned by this king must not be trampled on!"

Gilgamesh stood up and made a very decisive decision under Siduri's eyes.

He wants to personally go to the western border to solve the problems there.

What they didn't notice was that,

next to them, Luo Wei, who was sitting on the steps without caring about his appearance, had already become active.

It was at the same time that he stood up.

"Wait!" As he stood up, he looked at Gilgamesh and Siduri in front of the throne and patted the linen robes that were stained with a lot of smoke and dust.

"I'll go!" He said: "You are the king, and the king cannot take action directly."

His idea was simple.

Since the plan to have Gilgamesh and the gods kill him didn't come to fruition, it was better to settle for the next best thing.

He is leaving the royal city of Uruk.

Travel to the dangerous places of the frontier.

He also knew about the Western Warcraft Forest, where a large number of Warcraft lived all year round.

They were dangerous and terrifying and were a major threat to Uruk.

Even if there were heavy guards around to prevent ordinary people from getting close, riots would still occur from time to time.

However, if he takes the initiative and goes with Gilgamesh's commission, the Uruk soldiers guarding him will not be able to stop him from approaching.

By then——

Just create a tragic ending for himself, so whether he dies in an accident or is trapped in a tight siege, it will be enough to go down in history and become a legend.

But of course, Siduri couldn't agree: "Priest Luo Wei, I'm afraid..."

She wanted to say that Luo Wei didn't have that strength, but she stopped abruptly, just in the middle of her words.

Because several bright golden ripples suddenly appeared around Luo Wei's body, and swords and treasures protruded from them, raising crystal light in the air.

The right to use the treasures of Babylon given by Gilgamesh.

She was surprised.

Instead, Gilgamesh laughed again.

"Hahahaha, I'm surprised that a barking wild dog can master my treasure so quickly."

Before he finished, he said:

"Very good! In that case, take this king's noble phantom and show off this king's great glory to those stupid guys!"

"Talk like a human being!"

Luo Wei rolled his eyes, looking rude.

"I am the only king in heaven and earth, so what I say should, of course, be the king's words.

How can mere mortal words restrain me?"

Gilgamesh sneered: "But your disgusting excrement-like barking should be stopped in moderation! "

It started again... Seeing these two bickering like children again, Siduri sighed silently.

She suddenly felt that she might have to learn to adapt to this environment in the future.

However, seeing how Luo Wei skillfully used the Babylonian treasure trove, the young assistant officer knew that with only the treasure in Babylon, the other party was qualified enough to replace his majesty and go to suppress the Warcraft rebellion.

"I won't talk nonsense to you."

Luo Wei looked outside the palace.

The blue sky was almost dusk, and the setting sun reflected the city, like the red maple trees on the mountains.

He shook his head and walked down the steps to the outside of the palace without saying hello.

"Hmph!" Gilgamesh smiled disdainfully, his red eyes reflecting the slender but firm figure covered in linen robes.

"Since they are going on an expedition in place of this great king, then even the dirty wild dogs should be glorious - those beasts in the west have been eating in the sewers all year round. I don't want to see my envoy fall all over the mud ."

"That would damage my image!"

"You should pay more attention to yourself - you don't even know how to speak well."

Luo Wei paused, glanced at him, shook his head, and stepped forward as if he was no longer nostalgic.

Of course, he could hear that Gilgamesh was concerned about him.

Even though he didn't understand why the other party treated him like this, Luo Wei also knew that Gilgamesh truly recognized him.

Although he wants to die, he is still an ordinary person.

Naturally, he can't help but be touched.

Then again——

"A grown man talks coquettishly; it's really disgusting."

"..."

Siduri listened to the words coming from outside the door and rationally chose to look at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose.

"Hahahaha!" Gilgamesh laughed wantonly. "You don't have to worry about it!"

Ever since he was a child, no one has ever dared to offend him so much and make him unable to feel angry from the bottom of his heart.

"For those of you who are disrespectful to the Gods like me, let me see if you have the qualifications to stand alongside me and become my friend!"

On the throne on the towering steps, the king with shining golden light waved his hand as his deep voice echoed in the palace hall.

After leaving the door, Luo Wei paused.

What he saw was the street scene in Uruk that gradually became quiet at dusk.

There were swaying trees in front of the door, an old yellow dog leaning precariously on the door, and travelers returning from a long journey.

At home, a young man who was selected for the corvee bid farewell to his parents.

This dense collection of earth and stone buildings, orderly cities, and large human settlements with hundreds of thousands of people living there were only possible in this prehistoric civilization of humanity, a world where only gods existed.

But this scale was already the limit.

Because the gods do not allow human unity, that will hasten the demise of the traces of the reality of the gods' existence.

In the early days, gods were undoubtedly helpful to human existence, but now, it has gradually become a restriction.

But that has nothing to do with him.

At least for now, he has no intention of meddling in these affairs; he only wishes to let himself perish.

Luo Wei raised his eyes and saw a star falling in the sky.

Meteor... pretty good.

He thought.

'I hope that my life can be like this shooting star; after engraving my name on mankind, it will disappear in the blink of an eye...'

Wait..

"If I remember correctly, the meteors in the mythical era represented the coming of heavenly things to the human world, right?"

"Except for Ishtar, who was in a state of possession—"

"What's going on here again?"

He captured the point keenly.
