Chapter 1,436 A love letter that will never be sent again
"...Ananu, Gil, you are all still here..."
In the dark night, the only sounds were Ananu and whimpering.
Hearing Enkidu's voice, Gilgamesh's body involuntarily softened and he sat down on the stool.
His brain seemed to have been hit hard by a heavy hammer.
Why does this happen?
Gilgamesh always thought that he had looked down upon the gods, but he did not expect that the gods were even more despicable than he imagined.
Send down something like the Bull of Heaven, which is a disaster for all mankind. If the three of them don't kill the Bull of Heaven, the entire land will fall into misery. But killing the Bull of Heaven
after--
Instead, the gods had more reason to kill Ananu and Enkidu.
If they had not killed the Bull of Heaven, the Bull of Heaven would have killed them.
And if they killed the Bull of Heaven, then the gods would have reason to kill Ananu and Enkidu.
Gilgamesh clenched his fists.
gods.
God!
God of the Anunnaki!
The veins on his face were completely exposed.
His hand suddenly let go.
Although he is easily arrogant, he does not know how much he weighs.
He can build countless divine seals on the city wall of Uruk, and use all the treasures in his king's treasure house except the Key to Heaven, the Lock of Heaven, and the Sword of Oblivion as cannonballs, and then cooperate with the Heaven's
With the support ability of the Key to the Sky and the firepower of the Yili Sword, you can launch a war of your own with all your might.
But that doesn't make sense.
The entire Mesopotamia was founded by the gods. The king of a city-state alone cannot shake the entire Anunnaki divine world. If he really wants to shake it, Gilgamesh will definitely be waiting for him.
There is only one ending: destruction.
But, are you so indifferent? Place your hope on Ishtar? Watch here as the souls of Ananu and Enkidu disappear and pass away little by little?
I can only look at you like this?
Gilgamesh raised his head and looked at Ananu, who was still sobbing, and Enkidu, who was lying on the bed with some unclear consciousness.
Ananu held Enkidu's hand. His situation was very different from Enkidu's. He was trying to find a way to change his life force into Enkidu's.
The life force was indeed transmitted through the hands of two people holding each other, but it had no effect at all.
Enkidu's body is like a water glass with a hole in it. No matter how much water you put in, it will leak out. Continuing to pour water into it has no effect at all and will only make Ananu, who is already in good condition, even weaker.
"Ananu, it's useless, stop doing this." Enkidu looked at the ceiling of Gilgamesh's palace with dull eyes, "I probably know why your situation is like this."
"Remember, that little yellow flower?"
Ananu was startled.
"It's...the one you gave to Ereshkigal." Enkidu reminded him again.
Ananu now remembered.
When returning from the underworld, according to the rules of the underworld, there must be a life willing to die for Ananu, so that Ananu can escape the pursuit of the underworld hounds and return from the underworld completely.
Ananu did not choose to let anyone go to the underworld on his behalf. He used his own vitality to condense a small flower that could be planted with various powers, and placed it in the mouth of the hound of the underworld.
That flower was recognized by the hound of the underworld, and it returned to the underworld with the flower in its mouth. Ereshkigal, the queen of the underworld, would definitely understand what she meant.
So, now the flower of Ananu...is dying in his place?
Ananu understood.
The Flower of Ananu is condensed from his life force, and is essentially a part of him. If the great god writes the fact that he will die on the Clay Tablet of Destiny, then not only him, but the Flower of Ananu will also die.
Ereshkigal...
Ananu's mood couldn't help but get a little worse.
Dead flowers, in the underworld... Sorry, Ereshkigal...
Thunder sounded outside the window, and a heavy rain was coming.
Enkidu is the clone of the earth, the incarnation of nature. This is the world grieving for him.
The extremely dry land that had just been trampled by the Bull of Heaven was about to receive its first rain because of the death of the hero who defeated the Bull of Heaven.
"I might...have to take the first step..."
There was a hint of a wry smile in Enkidu's weak voice.
"Enkidu..."
Feeling Ananu's tears wet his clothes, Enkidu stretched out a hand, held Ananu's face, and tried his best to make himself smile.
"Stop crying, we are each other's most important people, aren't we?"
"If you cry when I leave, I won't be able to cry for you when you pass away..."
"It's really unfair..."
He supported his body and sat up.
"Ananu, Gil, I don't want to die in this room."
Facing the impending death, Enkidu's reaction was unexpectedly calm. With a little exhaustion in his eyes, he said to his brother and his best friend.
"Take me...out."
Ananu gritted his teeth and cried, but he didn't have much strength to hold Enkidu up. He himself was suffering from the pain of his soul gradually disappearing.
Gilgamesh took over this task, picked up Enkidu, and followed Ananu in front, walking with a confused and absent-minded look on his face.
Siduri and Shamhat were standing at the door. They watched the three people walking out of the room and walking away step by step. They followed them involuntarily, and they were all silent.
Nan She stretched out her hand, reached into the spring water next to her, and took out a stone slab.
That was the third love letter she wrote.
Ananu rejected her love letters twice, but she was not discouraged. Although Ananu made it clear that she would not accept it, she still wrote a third love letter, but she never sent it.
She listened to all the conversations.
Ananu is going to die.
Nan She looked at the love letter in her hand silently and put it back.
She did not follow him, but flew up to her home outside the Uruk forest.
She is going to find her father.
Anyway, something has to be done.
She didn't want Ananu to die, no matter what, she didn't want Ananu to die.
