"Do we have any other brothers and sisters? Why do you ask?"
Ananu lay on the bed, shaking her white feet, looking at Siduli and asked.
He never wore shoes and always walked barefoot, but his feet were never stained with dirt.
"Siduri, we are twins." Enkidu shook his head gently.
Twins means there are only two brothers.
"However, we did have brothers and sisters a long time ago. You may have seen them." Ananu thought for a while, "Kulgalu and Galatulu, I remember they were following Ishtar.
It’s coming.”
"Ah? Are they, are they your brothers and sisters?" Siduli looked a little surprised.
She naturally knows these two people, as Ananu said, they are currently working in the temple of Ishtar.
"They are just like us, made from the red mud of the abyss." Enkidu explained.
"Is that so..." Siduli nodded, indicating that she had learned a lot.
"But, Siduli, why are you asking this?" Ananu stretched his head over, a little curious.
"There is news from the cedar forest. It is said that there is something abnormal." Siduli turned around, raised her head and said to Ananu, "The current report is that the number of monsters has generally increased."
"Warcraft?" Ananu stopped shaking his legs for a moment.
"Did you mention what kind of monster it was?" Enkidu sat up straight.
Warcraft is indeed not a big deal if you say it is a small matter, but it is not a small matter if you say it is a big deal.
Mainly because within this group, the gap between the upper limit and the lower limit is still too big.
The weaker ones, ordinary people might have a chance to win, but the stronger ones...
Those monsters that Tiamat personally gave birth to, I'm afraid they won't get much benefit from the arrival of the seven major gods.
However, Ananu and Enki both felt that those things would not appear in such a small place as the cedar forest.
"For the time being, we have only discovered common monsters such as Uridim, and nothing else." Siduli said truthfully.
"That's fine." Ananu knew what Uridim was, so he waved his hand casually.
"If you are still a little worried, we can go take a look." Enkidu looked calm.
"...Let's take another look."
Siduri thought for a while, and it was indeed a bit of a fuss to ask Ananu and Enkidu just because of the rumors of hunters stalking the enemy. You know, these two are not the king of Uruk's ministers.
In nature, they are more like Gilgamesh's guests, except that this guest may beat the owner here at any time.
But Siduli didn't notice that when Ananu and Enkidu were talking to her, they didn't mean to refuse in their tone.
What does this mean...
...
Enkidu became interested in crafts.
The reason may be that the clay sculpture at the beginning made him a little curious.
And Ananu, currently lying on the city wall watching the soldiers training, shook his head helplessly.
It's not because he doesn't want to see soldiers go to the battlefield, but in his eyes, the training methods of these soldiers are too inefficient.
In other words, these are all young people, unless they go to the battlefield, but on the battlefield...
Forget it, the outbreak of war was not what I expected. These two issues must be considered separately.
True to their word, they did not say anything more to King Gilgamesh, but continued to observe human beings in this city as before, while looking for the job they wanted.
But I probably won’t be able to find it for a while.
There is no problem with King Gilgamesh's assets supporting two idle people, and he doesn't have time to think about that much now.
He was still immersed in the thoughts brought to him by the words of Ananu and Enkidu two days ago.
Although he is cruel and bloody, he at least knows that almost all the decisions he makes are made from the starting point of "himself".
but......
Ananu had not yet gained intelligence and was struck by natural disasters.
Why did he stand in front of Uruk?
The clay men didn't ask this question, and he didn't find it strange himself. But when he really thought and recalled based on the clay men's words, he found something strange.
What was he thinking at that time?
Are you the king here? Is Uruk your asset? Because it is your asset, it must not be destroyed?
He did not remember that he was a king who cherished money.
Uruk cannot be threatened... or so the thinking goes.
Gilgamesh sat on the throne and exhaled, then stood up and walked towards his residence.
The ministers under the throne who were still reporting on the situation looked at each other, but didn't say anything.
This king only dealt with some important matters, and even when he was at his most arrogant, he did not even deal with important matters.
If there wasn't a god in the city, the city would have been doomed long ago when it was ruled by such a king.
Fortunately, perhaps because of his increasing maturity, Gilgamesh rarely ignores government affairs anymore, but if it happens once in a while, the ministers will not be surprised.
Gilgamesh returned to his room, rubbed the head of the lion he kept at the door, returned to the room, lay down on the large bed, and rubbed his temples.
He had never felt like this before, even when he was a boy who always had a smile on his face and was not so violent.
At least, this was the first time he thought about his relationship with this city-state.
But it was obvious that he didn't like to think, and he almost fell asleep in bed as he kept thinking about it.
"king."
Just when he was about to fall asleep, a gentle female voice woke him up.
"Huh?" As his sleepiness faded away, Gilgamesh looked at the door angrily.
But he found that it was the girl in green clothes, holding a clay tablet and standing at her door, bowing.
"...Siduri, come in." After his anger dissipated, Gilgamesh nodded and sighed.
It's not that he likes Siduli, but when he gets along with Siduli, he doesn't have to feel the trepidation of her.
Even if he is the king, even if he can kill the other person just because he doesn't like it, he will still find that kind of relationship very tiring.
Siduri didn't say anything, she carefully stepped over the lion and knelt down in front of Gilgamesh.
"It's a matter of Ananu and Enkidu." Siduli said respectfully.
Gilgamesh said that no matter what these two careless guys did, they must be reported to him.
After all, those two are the only people in this city who can beat him up.
