Chapter 1,437 Blessings, Entrustments, Gifts, and Hugs
Powerless, painful.
I hate the despicability of the gods, and I even hate myself for not being able to stop this from happening.
There are thousands of treasures in the king's treasury, but none of them can be used at this moment.
So much so that Gilgamesh could only walk mechanically now, holding Enkidu and Ananu in his arms, walking out of the palace step by step, walking through the streets, and walking towards the outside of Uruk.
Behind him were Siduli and Shamhat.
The people of Uruk noticed the king's whereabouts. They gathered on both sides of the road, watching the king holding the unconscious Enkidu, and understood what happened.
They fell into grief.
A few days ago, King Gilgamesh was celebrating killing Gugalana, guarding the great Uruk, and praising Ananu and Enki as the strongest heroes, but now...
They don't know what happened, but they will be sad for them.
Ananu and Enkidu have long been a part of Uruk, a part of Uruk. If they die, the whole city will grieve for them.
Without Ananu, the city would not have an army, and the city walls and farmland would still be invaded by bandits and monsters; without Enkidu, the city would not have wisdom and many things that can improve the quality of life.
It won't appear at all.
The howling wind and clouds seemed to be wailing, and the pouring rain seemed to be mourning.
Enkidu, lying in Gilgamesh's arms, still had some breath, but he understood that he no longer even had the strength to struggle, and his only reaction to the pain was twitching.
He wants to live. As a life, he desperately wants to live.
But he was going to die, and he knew it.
Gilgamesh walked and walked out of Uruk. A large number of Uruk people gathered at the city gate, and rain mixed with tears of mourning fell on the ground.
He had already walked into the woods outside Uruk.
This place was originally a wasteland. It was here that Gilgamesh met Enkidu and fought with Enkidu. Then Ananu attacked and almost killed him. The wound left on his abdomen even reached
There are still scars that cannot be removed.
But Ananu, who almost destroyed Uruk, also brought seeds in the storm. Ananu and Enkidu cleaned up the wasteland. Now, a few years later, it is already a low-rise area.
of woods.
"Okay, Jill..."
"Put me down."
Hearing Enkidu's voice, Gilgamesh's body softened, but his arms were still steady.
"Enkidu!"
Ananu ran over quickly.
Enkidu didn't look at him for the moment. He moved his gaze to Shamhat.
"This is my last blessing, Shamhat..."
"The beautiful person who gave me intelligence..."
With a smile on his face, he sighed.
"I hope you will no longer be swayed by your position, I hope you can find your own happiness, I hope... you can live a good life without disaster..."
Shamhat lowered his head and sobbed softly.
She still remembers how she met Enkidu. At that time, Enkidu still had the appearance of a beast, but now...
He looked at Siduli again.
"No need to be sad, Siduli..."
"You have more important things to do than grieve."
Ananu grabbed one of Enkidu's hands, lowered his head and choked silently. Enkidu looked at Siduri with gentle eyes, entrusting him with his last words.
"After Ananu and I leave, we must keep the situation inside Uruk... uh -..."
As he spoke, Enkidu felt a sharp pain in his soul again, and what he was saying stopped uncontrollably.
"Enkidu, stop talking, stop talking..."
Siduri knelt in front of Enkidu, with liquid on her face that was either rainwater or tears, and she swallowed it.
"It must be said now."
Enkidu just shook his head.
"Gil can't handle it alone, you have to stay with him... Siduli, can you promise me?"
The rain wet Enkidu's hair, and it hung down, covering one of his eyes, but there was another eye that was shining brightly, making Siduri afraid to look at it, but she was determined to look at it.
.
"I will do it. Even if my life ends, I will stand by King Gilgamesh's side."
Facing Enkidu who was about to die, Siduri made a vow with a trembling voice.
Enkidu closed his eyes with satisfaction and did not open them again.
He gave Shamhat a blessing and Siduri an instruction, and then...
He stretched out his hand and held Gilgamesh's face.
"Hey, Jill..."
Gilgamesh opened his mouth slightly and grabbed Enkidu's hand.
Enkidu's hands were very cold, and the warmth was quickly leaving Enkidu's body.
"Can you feel it? In this respect, I am very similar to humans..." A smile appeared on Enkidu's lips.
Gilgamesh lowered his head and looked at Enkidu, choking and weeping.
This is a pain that is enough to suffocate.
"Don't leave me...Enkidu..." His only remaining voice sounded softly from the bottom of his throat.
"Um."
Enkidu just nodded slightly, then took his hand out of Gilgamesh's trembling hand and pressed it on his chest.
"This is my gift, Jill, and you can do whatever you want with it."
Gilgamesh felt the power and the things gradually appearing in his hands, his eyes gradually became unbelievable.
"Enkidu, you..."
Enkidu smiled and shook his head slightly.
What is the thing that appears in Gilgamesh's hand?
It was a chain, a golden chain.
That's...the Lock of Heaven.
That's the real Enkidu.
Enkidu and Ananu are both living weapons.
And what is Enkidu doing now?
He is going to die, he is going to return to dust.
Therefore, he took away his life and left the weapon, the lifeless Lock of Heaven, to Gilgamesh.
This was his gift to Gilgamesh.
After confirming that the Lock of Heaven was in Gilgamesh's hand, Enkidu no longer focused on Gilgamesh.
He is no longer the Lock of Heaven, but a body whose vitality is about to be exhausted.
The only thing left in his eyes was his brother, Ananu, the Key of Heaven.
"Ananu, hug me."
"hug me......"
He gave Shamhat a blessing, Siduri a charge, and Gilgamesh a gift.
And in the end, he chose to seek the simplest hug for his brother.
