Before Gilgamesh left, Ishtar looked slightly gloomy and asked Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh did not answer, but looked sideways at Ishtar, with a trace of confusion in his eyes.
In the past, this goddess only thought about her own convenience and pleasure, flying around in the sky every day. Why has she recently been in Uruk asking questions like this?
Has your brain been digested by Humbaba?
But although it was a little strange, Gilgamesh still answered Ishtar's question.
"My pursuit is different from your pursuit, Ishtar." The corner of his mouth raised a little, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Even if this king is bleeding with the blood of a god,
You still claim to be the king of men instead of claiming to be a demigod, doesn’t that mean something?”
"And you are the purest and most typical god."
"Even though they are all creatures that follow desires, their natures are very different."
"You probably misunderstood something, that's why you acted so abnormally, but at least there is one thing that I can tell you clearly."
He put his hand on Ishtar's shoulder, causing Ishtar's slightly trembling body to shake violently.
"Ananu and Enkidu are more than just locks and keys to heaven."
"I am willing to admit this fact - they are my friends."
This is the first time Gilgamesh admits this fact.
Like his friend Ananu, after saying these words, Gilgamesh did not stay for even a second and walked away.
Ishtar was the only one left in the corridor, standing there, somewhat at a loss.
...
Ananu returned to his room and lay directly on his bed.
"Ananu, did you have a dispute with Ishtar?"
Enkidu had come back a long time ago and sat next to Ananu. He naturally grabbed Ananu's hand and intertwined their fingers, exchanging mutual knowledge and information through the magic connection.
Although it may seem strange, it is actually very normal for Ananu and Enkidu.
Perhaps, what Ishtar said is somewhat true.
They...are not human after all.
"You don't have to have such thoughts, Ananu." Enkidu gently lay on Ananu's back, put his chin on Ananu's shoulder, and said with a smile, "For us,
As far as our lives are concerned, as long as what we do is worthy of our conscience, that’s fine.”
"I understand, I'm just a little unhappy with that goddess." Ananu curled her lips.
Getting along with people is a joy for Tianzhikey and Tianzhisuo. They are also serious about doing something for human beings, trying their best to understand and understand human beings, and human beings are also willing to accept them.
Ananu and Enkidu are absolutely convinced that this is enough, this way is enough.
They are definitely not playing a meaningless "game", not at all.
"No, I still have to find that goddess." Ananu felt annoyed, sat up, grabbed Enkidu's shoulders, looked into Enkidu's eyes seriously and said, "Although what we do is not for
She has to prove it to someone, but I want to hear her finish what she didn’t say.”
"I don't need her approval, but if our actions must be 'wrong' and 'game' in her words - I won't agree!"
"This..." Enkidu looked hesitant.
"Ananu, the gods are our enemies, including Ishtar." Enkidu is very self-aware of his and Ananu's positioning.
Although Utu gave them the possibility of self-judgment, their self-judgment was now divorced from what the gods wanted to do.
In the eyes of the gods, the Key to the Sky and the Lock to the Sky must be useful tools, but now Ananu and Enkidu's behavior is obviously out of control - although they did not control Ananu in the first place.
Nu and Enki are completely in their hands.
so......
"I know, but I think what I am doing now is not meaningless." Ananu held Enkidu's hand, with a trace of struggle in his expression, "In Ishtar's tone, her judgment
, as if she understands human beings.”
"I know how to exercise caution."
There was a hint of suppressed sullenness in Ananu's voice.
"Tomorrow, I will officially visit Ishtar's temple."
"I want to question her about how she views humans."
Enkidu sighed.
"Then, I will manage that army on your behalf."
He actually wanted to do this, but it couldn't be done by the two of them together.
If Ananu went there alone, Ishtar would probably listen to what Ananu planned to say, but if Ananu and Enkidu were together, Ishtar might just sit on the horse.
Anna ran away.
When Ananu is not assisting Enkidu, his sharpness is much better than that of Enkidu, but after all, it is just sharpness. With Ananu gone, if a conflict really breaks out, Ishtar will be better.
He could still run away, but Enkidu was also gone. The locks of heaven's ability to capture and bind the divine terror would make it impossible for Ishtar to even escape.
This is not confidence or arrogance, but...
Exactly what will happen.
"Then this is for you." Ananu handed Enkidu a clay tablet. "You can give this to Adkart tomorrow. He can understand what is written on it."
Enkidu looked at the clay tablet with the training plan written on it, with a look of horror on his face.
"The training above... really won't train people to death?"
"Don't worry if you can't train to death." Ananu said with a smile, "If they can't survive this level of training, then they won't be able to defend their city and family from those monsters."
"For humans, family should be the most important thing, right?" Ananu tilted his head and expressed his understanding.
"At least the vast majority are." Enkidu agreed.
Except for people like Gilgamesh who are like orphans.
...
"Calculating the time, it's almost time."
Lu Silan was lying on his bed, looking at the ceiling, with a rather numb tone in his tone and a bit of incomprehensible sigh.
He knows Ananu's life trajectory.
Not long after the army was established, a conflict broke out between the Ananu Order and the patron goddess of Uruk, which led to a bizarre act.
However, it was just unbelievable. At the same time, this behavior also preserved a glimmer of hope for Ananu, and Ananu alone, before the final destruction came.
hope that will be extinguished.
That is -
Ananu went down to the underworld.
He will go to the dark and deep forbidden place alone.
