Chapter 13: Conspiracy

Gilgamesh came to the resting place of his mother, Goddess Ninsun, and he told her everything about the demigod girl he saw just now and the strange eyes.

"Mother, I met two strange people today, a demigod woman with sharp ears, and a man with iridescent eyes, Goddess Ninsun who knows everything, can you help me explain their origins?"

Goddess Ninsun was silent for a long time, she shook her head under Gilgamesh's waiting gaze, "I saw the demigod girl you mentioned, it seems to be just an ordinary demigod, I don't know whose child of a god she is, as for the man you mentioned, isn't he just an ordinary person?"

None of the gods can see the true nature of the Son of Tiamat.

"Oh? It's just ordinary people, I understand." Gilgamesh got some clarification from his mother, Goddess Ninsun, and turned and left with an expression of interest on his face.

A man who the omnipotent and omniscient Goddess Ninsun can't even see through, a man who she mistook for an ordinary person... Gilgamesh was full of interest in him and concluded that Qiye could not be an ordinary person.

God, there are three things.

They have...

Heavenly wisdom.

Infinite power.

Eternal life.

Even the omnipotent and omniscient Goddess Ninsun, who possessed the wisdom of heaven, couldn't see through that man, and Gilgamesh's curiosity had been thoroughly aroused.

After Gilgamesh left his mother's temple, he whispered a few words to his servant, and the servant who had received the barbaric order suddenly showed distress.

But he couldn't refuse the king's order, so he could only carry out the king's order in a hurry.

What a fatuous king, he doesn't need to worry about everyone the king is already enough, the kings just instruct him to do heinous things, it's simply mad... In desperation, the servant could only take Gilgamesh's order and take away a newborn baby.

A child is a mother's most important treasure, and her own treasure disappeared for no apparent reason—is a crime!

The City of Uruk was noisy again.

And the commotion caused this time was not a small one. Under the special guidance of Gilgamesh, the entire city of Uruk was almost turned upside down.

"Hey, hey, hey! Have you heard that the king who just took Culusi's wife away just now is going to try a criminal case publicly."

"What case?"

"Didn't it happen that two women gave birth to a child together today, and then one of the children disappeared, and now these two women are fighting for the remaining child, and they both think that child is theirs, so there was a quarrel over there in the palace, now the king is going to openly try this case in the tower square."

"A child has been stolen? Seriously?! Let's go around and see what's going on."

Qiye drew his attention away from the angry residents of Uruk. He sighed at this chaotic situation and then bought a bunch of golden red dates from the vendors.

Date palms and date palm trees are the most common treasures in Mesopotamia. Its output is amazing, and the fruit is very sweet. Because the ingredients were made up of sugar, people in Mesopotamia use date palms to make syrup or to brew liquors.

When Qiye just put the date into his mouth, his sleeve was pulled, Qiye looked over with the date in his mouth, and saw Semiramis who slightly opened her mouth, revealing a small pink tongue.

This action is obviously telling Qiye that she wants to eat too.

Looking at Semiramis like this, Qiye smiled, picked a date palm, and reached out to Semiramis.

Semiramis bit the date and felt the sweet taste of the date in her mouth, and she couldn't help showing an expression of happiness and enjoyment.

It's sweet, indescribably sweet.

"Both guests, do you still want to buy? If you don't buy or want to, I will close the stall. I'm going to see how the king will be judged this time." The vendor said to Semiramis, who was standing in front of Qiye.

"Isn't it just a trial? You don't need to be so curious."

Qiye looked at the peddler, and the peddler laughed, "Guests, you don't know, the king of Uruk is a weirdo. Every time he has a public trial, he will randomly point out the crowd and let them come to pass judgment, and if the verdict of the crowd pleases him, he will give them a lapis lazuli."

Lapis lazuli is a gemstone.

In the Mesopotamian era, everyone believed that lapis lazuli possessed the energy of the gods and could turn the owner's disaster into good fortune, so lapis lazuli was regarded as a talisman.

Therefore, lapis lazuli is a more noble and precious treasure than gold.

So joining in the fun is part of the reason for the vendors to close their stalls, and the most important reason is because of the possibility of obtaining lapis lazuli.

After Qiye expressed his intention not to continue to buy any goods, the vendor hurriedly packed up his things, carried his basket on his back, and started walking with the other people.

Seeing the crowd of people on the side, Semiramis, who was chewing some dates, looked at Qiye, "Why don't we go and have a look?"

"Let's forget it." Qiye waved his hand, he always felt that there was some trap waiting for him over there and although his feeling was illusory, it was quite effective.

Then Qiye saw Semiramis showing an ' I'm interested' expression, "Do you want to see it?"

"Well, maybe we can see something interesting." Semiramis nodded her head.

"Is that so? Then let's go. It's good to go and have a look to pass the time. Anyway, we can't find anyone to ask where to live in Uruk now." Looking at the empty streets, Qiye took Semiramis' little hand and began to keep up with the flow of people ahead.

The place where Gilgamesh was going to judge was the high platform of the square, and the people below were full of Uruk's residents, as well as merchants and vendors from other cities. They only needed to look up to see the people on the high platform.

Now there are four figures on the high platform. Gilgamesh is sitting in the center, with one hand resting on his chin, his expression is calm, and even reveals a trace of boredom.

No one can completely tell that Gilgamesh himself is the one who caused the commotion! He didn't seem to feel guilty about this farce at all!

And the figure in front of Gilgamesh is a priestess holding a child, and this child is the heart of this trial.

The last two figures are women who have just given birth. People in this era have very strong physical fitness, and they can even curse people in anger not long after giving birth...
