Gilgamesh sat on his throne, with a slightly embarrassed gloom on his face.
It has been a week since Ananu and Enkidu arrived in Uruk.
Gilgamesh's body was still wrapped like a rice dumpling, and his majesty and domineering aura as a king had temporarily... restrained.
Well, converge.
Because of King Gilgamesh's gloomy expression, the entire palace in Uruk fell into an atmosphere of deathly silence.
There is no other reason for this. After being injured, it is natural to be in a bad mood.
But Gilgamesh is the king of Uruk, if he is unhappy...
The newly appointed consul Siduri stood beside Gilgamesh with some worry.
King Gilgamesh will not issue any decrees now. The policies for the management of the disaster-affected areas outside the city were issued a few days ago. Now he is just sitting here and sulking.
The reason for sulking is naturally the reason why he was beaten like this, and it is also the culprit of causing natural disasters, that is... Ananu...
The uncle is currently sitting blankly in a room in the Uruk palace.
Ananu looked at Enkidu sitting opposite him, and his head shook slightly.
He and Enqi are both twin clay figures, brothers and sisters who share the same soul.
That day, outside the wilderness of Uruk, Enkidu used his chains to stop Ananu, who was determined to kill Gilgamesh, and turned himself into mud again, and exchanged it with Ananu.
information, and at the same time...
With his own hands, he touched Ananu's heart.
So, Ananu changed.
Just like Enkidu changed the moment Shamhat touched his heart, Ananu also changed.
In fact, it stands to reason that Ananu had already begun to undergo such a change before. However, because he felt that Enkidu was "threatened", he rudely interrupted his change and imitated the posture of a flying bird.
, just to get to his brother's side as quickly as possible.
Then, he brought natural disasters to Uruk.
Fortunately, Enkidu stopped the natural disaster in time and prevented the human city of Uruk from being directly destroyed by Ananu, and then stopped the ignorant Ananu from pursuing Gilgamesh.
And shared the knowledge he gained with Ananu.
This resulted in the results in front of us.
Ananu and Enkidu sat opposite each other, looking at each other's face and facial features, without speaking.
Their facial features are exactly the same, delicate and beautiful.
But the temperament is a little different.
If Enkidu can be described as "bright spring", then Ananu can be described as "bleak autumn".
Although she is equally beautiful, and although she has the same outstanding temperament, there is a little more sharpness in Ananu's body that prevents strangers from entering.
Ananu touched his face gently, but there wasn't much reaction.
Enkidu's appearance comes from Shamhat, and Ananu's appearance comes from Enkidu.
"How's it going? Are you used to it?"
Enkidu had the same calm smile on his face as always, looked into Ananu's yellow eyes, and asked softly.
"No matter what you are used to or not used to, your decision surprises me more than the human body, Enkidu."
Ananu shook his head gently and touched Enkidu's hand: "Are you really ready and determined?"
"The gods gave us tasks and deceptions. I know that, but I don't want anything to happen to you."
Putting Enkidu's hand in his own, Ananu patted Enkidu's hand.
Enkidu just pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ananu's thinking ability is no worse than him, and he can naturally understand the meaning of Ananu's words.
The gods told them that in the forest of Enlil, there was a "perfect human being", that is, Humbaba.
But now that they have gained intelligence, they can naturally realize that the truth is very different from what the gods told them.
Although they still care about Humbaba, Ananu and Enkidu both recognize the fact that Humbaba is not human.
It's not even a "perfect human being".
Real humans are people like Shamhat, and even Gilgamesh can be considered a human...probably.
"Let's go for a walk, I can stay with you."
Ananu stood up, took Enkidu's hand and said.
Not only did the two of them look exactly the same, they also wore the same clothes.
They are both barefoot and wearing pure white clothes. If it weren't for the different colors of hair and eyes, as well as the subtle differences in temperament, the two of them could really be regarded as the same person.
"Um."
Pulled by Ananu, Enkidu nodded, and the two brothers walked out of the room where Gilgamesh placed them.
Guards were arranged at the door of their room. The guards naturally did not dare to stop Ananu and Enkidu, but after Ananu and Enkidu walked away, the guards quickly walked towards the top of the palace - he
You have to report this to King Gilgamesh.
"The two of them are out!?"
call--
Gilgamesh stood up suddenly, but suddenly pulled the wound, and sat down again with a grin on his face.
As a witness to the incident, Gilgamesh, who was almost beaten to death outside the city of Uruk, was a little panicked.
Fortunately for Enkidu, he knew Ananu's destructive power.
Although now, like that guy Enkidu, he has traded strength for intelligence, Gilgamesh——how can he rest assured!
"Send someone to keep an eye on them! Find out what these two guys are planning to do!"
Gilgamesh was out of breath after saying a few words, touched his belly, and then wiped the sweat from his head.
"yes!"
The guard didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly turned around and left.
Gilgamesh sat on his seat, held his forehead, and sighed.
"...Siduri." He called.
"king."
Siduli knelt on the ground, ready to listen to the king's order.
"You are taking care of the daily life of those two guys during this period. Is there anything unusual about them?"
"No, Wang." Siduli lowered her head and said, "They haven't done anything since they arrived in Uruk, they just stayed in the room."
"I gave them food, but they didn't eat it. I gave them a change of clothes, but they didn't put it on."
"...Okay, I understand, please retreat first. I am tired and will go back to the palace first."
King Gilgamesh waved his hands a little irritably, then stood up from his throne and limped towards the back.
Siduli didn't say anything, bowed and retreated.
She had to prepare medicine for her king. The wound on his abdomen had not healed yet and would probably leave scars.
