Human shields, as a weapon, can block the attacks of many gods, but if they want to block the attacks of the main god level... it is still a bit too reluctant.
However, it would be a bit ridiculous to deny them just because of this level.
Nanshe is just a nameless water spring goddess. Compared with the original creator of Kulgalu and Galatulu, and her father God Enqi, it can be said that she is on a par with the heavens and the earth. And Ananu
Like Enkidu, they have skills but no authority. All they can do is some simple modifications.
The final result is this.
If Nanshe's strength can be stronger, perhaps Kurgalu and Galatulu's strength will also be stronger, but otherwise, this is the best result at the moment.
"Shamhat, together with Adkart, Kurgalu and Galatulu, help me protect my city-state."
Gilgamesh stood up and said to Shamhat, who was still sitting next to him with his head lowered and silent.
"Ananu, Enkidu, let's go find Siduri and Luslan."
"And God Nanshe, please help us lead the way."
He nodded gently to Nan She.
As soon as Nan She got up from the bruised and swollen beauty Ananu, she saw Gilgamesh nodding to him with complicated eyes.
"I understand, I will take you to Eridu to meet my Father God."
She said this.
"Sorry for your trouble."
"let's go."
After saying that, Gilgamesh walked out of the temple first.
Ananu wanted to follow Gilgamesh, but there was still a pause in his steps. He and Enkidu looked at each other, nodded lightly, then turned around and walked to Shamhat's side.
Shamhat finally made his own choice, giving up his god, his faith, and all the meaning of being a human being for twenty years.
Since she had memories, she has existed in this world, and the meaning of her existence in Uruk is to "dedicate herself to God", whether it is soul, body, or even the meaning of the entire life.
However, just now, Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, used an almost cruel method to cut her off from everything she owned, leaving her soul dripping with blood.
She collapsed on the ground, leaning on the throne, her eyes were dull, and her body seemed to have no strength at all.
"Enkidu..."
"Annu..."
She did not raise her head, her voice was filled with sadness, and her eyes reflected those beautiful, white feet, but they seemed to be thousands of miles away and unable to be touched.
"Why...people...must make choices...in order to survive...?"
There was a hint of death in her voice.
She felt her hands being held, both hands being held, by different hands.
But she was indifferent, she could only feel the coldness from that hand.
"We will not excuse what Gil did, Shamhat." Enkidu lowered his eyes, stretched his hand forward, and hugged Shamhat's other waist.
, "But please take heart and rely on your strength and wisdom."
"You are a powerful person and should not fall like this." Ananu made the same move as Enkidu, but on the other side, "Making a choice or not does not mean survival.
Height just determines whether you can survive."
The two of them stood on one side and whispered into Shamhat's ear, causing Shamhat's body to tremble slightly.
"Anyway, you are saying this...for Gilgamesh's sake."
Shamhat's voice trembled slightly, but it contained an extremely obvious coldness, which could not be heard from thousands of miles away.
"No, this is for you who gave us knowledge." Enkidu shook his head and said with a smile, "We will not abandon our former friends just because we have new friends."
"We will not question you, we will respect your choice, and we will grieve for you, but what we will do more is bless you."
Ananu put Shamhat's hand between his own hands and looked at Shamhat with a smile.
"No matter what 'choice' you make, we will bless you, Shamhat."
"Be in a good mood. Even if you choose to join the underworld, I can ask Kurgalu to bring a message to Ereshkigal for me and ask her to create a comfortable gun threshold for you." She faced Shamha.
Te blinked, "I have a pretty good relationship with that goddess of the underworld."
Nanshe's eyes became sharp.
And Shamhat was a little confused when he heard Ananu's words.
"You really... have a wide range of knowledge..." She couldn't help but say this, and while speaking, she glanced at Goddess Nanshe.
Goddess Nanshe's eyes became even sharper.
"Feeling better?"
Enkidu let go of Shamhat and rubbed her face.
Shamhat was stunned again, with a hint of complexity and helplessness in his expression.
"......Um."
She didn't say thank you, she just nodded lightly and agreed, then stood up unsteadily.
"Now that I have made my choice, I will not waver any more. I will do what I should do as...an official of Uruk."
"you......"
She turned around and was at the door of the front hall.
Blocking out a patch of sunshine, his spine was slightly stooped, and the expression on his face was so unbearable and hesitant, but his eyes were still looking closely at Ananu and Enkidu.
Although it was only for such a short moment, the frustrated soul made both Ananu and Enkidu stunned and palpitated.
"To survive."
"Ananu, Enkidu, survive."
"No matter what happens, we must fight and survive."
After saying this, Shamhat turned around and left with staggering steps, towards the direction of the temple.
She must fulfill her promise to the king and do what she should do.
Ananu and Enki both looked at each other and felt...silence.
Are they too cruel?
Really, isn't it cruel to ask Shamhat to cheer up at this time?
"Hey, aren't you planning to leave yet?"
Gilgamesh's voice came from outside the front hall, and it sounded like he was urging.
"...We are here." After a long silence, Ananu agreed.
"etc."
When Ananu and Enkidu were about to walk out, Nanshe called out to Ananu with a serious face.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ananu tilted his head, seeming a little confused.
"Aren't you going to talk to me?"
Nan She's expression was kind.
"The goddess of the underworld...what happened in Ereshkigal?"
