Anna followed Merlin step by step, raised her head and asked.
Merlin is a peculiar person. Some pink flowers will bloom briefly on the ground where he walks.
Anna feels... a little creepy.
"That's right."
Merlin shook his staff, which looked like a dead tree, and smiled: "In Mesopotamia, Uruk is not the only rich city. There are also several other city-states, all of which live a prosperous life.
Life."
"Eridu is such a city-state. Its founder was the water god Enki, who was one of the seven main gods in charge of destiny alongside the Venus goddess Ishtar. For this reason, for a long period of time, even Eridu
Lidu was the richest and most powerful city on the land until Ishtar stole Enki's decree."
"...Stolen?" Lemony raised an eyebrow.
This is not a good adjective.
"If you want to hear these things, I can tell them, but - forget it, at least for now, forget it." Merlin shook his head gently, "Some stories are more suitable for resting and gathering around the campfire.
To tell the story, we only need to know that that city-state, even if all its decrees were stolen, still maintains its status as the first city under Uruk."
"I'm not very interested in this."
Stheno sat on Lemony's shoulder, with a smile on his face similar to Merlin's, and gently poked Lemony's earlobe with his small and slender fingertips.
"I just want to know how to deal with someone who doesn't know how to be funny."
"Don't poke, scratch."
Lemony reached out and grabbed Stheno's hand and said expressionlessly.
Merlin glanced at the two of them and rolled his eyes.
what is this?
However, Lemony is really weird...
No, it should be said that this is only natural.
Stheno is a goddess who likes brave men. Is there anyone here who is more "brave" than Lemoni?
Oh wait...
Merlin discovered something interesting.
"My lovely goddess, it seems that you are very interested in tasting delicious fruits."
He stroked his chin, looked at Stheno with a shy smile and said.
"What do you want to say, Flower Magician?" Stheno looked at Merlin as if he were a fool.
"The fruit you like may still be bitter. It's still in the growing stage, but - it won't continue to grow." Merlin smiled comically and winked at Stheno.
Lemony, who listened to the entire conversation between the two, said:...
These two people... he disliked very much.
Very - don't like it.
Stheno understood what Merlin was saying, she frowned, and then looked Lemony up and down.
"Lemonie, can I...ask you a question?"
After swallowing, Stheno bit his lip and asked.
"...You might as well ask directly." Lemony maintained a dead eye, and his chest muscles beat erratically.
"How old were you, and how old were you when you passed away?"
"sixteen."
Lemony's extremely calm answer stunned everyone.
"...these sixteen?"
Anna looked at Lemony, who was 2.5 meters tall, with a shocked expression.
Although he doesn't have a rough face, Lemoni's appearance is quite mature. He looks like he is at least 20 or 30 years old. He has bright yellow curly hair hanging on his shoulders, and a strand of light green hair on his forehead.
In summary, Lemony is a hero who looks quite handsome and strong. Judging from his appearance alone, he is not young. At least according to Anna's estimation, Lemony should be over twenty-five years old.
But he is sixteen, and his life will always be fixed at the age of sixteen.
Anna and Stheno both looked shocked, and even Merlin, who pointed out something was wrong to Stheno, looked a little shocked.
"You were only...sixteen when you died?" The smile on Merlin's face disappeared.
"Otherwise." Lemony looked at the three people strangely.
Is there anything strange about dying at the age of sixteen?
After thinking for two seconds, he seemed to have thought of something, raised his hand and pressed it.
"Don't worry, my death is glorious."
"At least I protected the town and residents behind me. I died in battle, not due to conspiracy."
Lemoni didn't know what happened next. He only remembered that when he was still conscious at the end, he saw the out-of-control Basamizo opening his huge mouth and spitting out a mouthful of biting ice, and then he could no longer
Didn't wake up.
As for the fact that he protected the town, Lemony only found out about it after he ascended the Seat of Heroes, but it's not a big problem.
Anyway, Ocean has avenged himself and used his golden spear to smash one of Poseidon's divine cores - every time he thought of this, Lemoni felt a burst of joy.
It was a pity that he did not die in the battle against Poseidon, and did not personally make the beast who planned the death of his brothers pay the price.
Looking at Lemoni, who didn't know what he was thinking of, but actually had a smile on his face, Stheno felt...a little...
She couldn't quite explain what this feeling was, but...
Is this guy actually that young!?
She thought that Lemony was an old-fashioned person from ancient times, but it turned out that the old-fashioned person was herself!?
Stheno no longer knew how old she was. Of course she didn't know. She was a goddess, so it was normal not to know her age, but she really didn't expect that Lemoni was so young.
Wait, so those inexplicable looks Lemony gave him before were not because he saw it and played hard to get, but because——
He doesn’t understand at all!?
Swish——
Stheno's face suddenly turned red, deeply red.
"Sister, sister!?"
Anna was frightened.
Stheno covered her face. She no longer knew what expression she should use to face Lemony. She just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
This, this is too shameful!!!
Stheno quickly jumped off Lemoni's shoulders and squatted down.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lemoni looked at Stheno, who suddenly became strange, with a puzzled look.
"No, it's nothing. I can just walk the rest of the way by myself." Circles appeared in Stheno's eyes, and Anna and Merlin felt as if steam was about to appear on the top of her head.
"Oh, okay."
Although Lemoni didn't know why this strange goddess didn't want to sit on his shoulder, he felt that it was good and he could feel more relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile.
Anna shook Stheno's shoulder, but Stheno didn't respond at all.
Merlin sighed.
"What a...innocent person."
He couldn't help but look at Lemony with awe in his eyes.
