Chapter 478: The current situation, looking for Jin Gu?
After completely wiping out all the Lachems in Uruk, Gudav and others also reunited with Ishtar and the others, and then went to the tower together to meet Gilgamesh.
At this time, the hall in the tower was already full of people, including political officers, soldiers, and ordinary citizens.
When Uruk was severely attacked, people gathered here to get the king's revelation.
Gilgamesh ordered decisively as always:
"Let all the surviving citizens take refuge on the other side of the north wall and reuse Nippur as the current residential area!"
"There is no need to recruit soldiers from the refugees. Only those who are born warriors will stay in Uruk."
Then, he stood up, looked at the crowd below, and said calmly:
"The day of destruction has finally arrived. There are about two days left."
"The day that Merlin brought forward was also the day when Uruk collapsed when I saw it. But you don't need to collapse with Uruk. As long as you can escape to Nippur, you will definitely have a different fate. Bar?"
"If you want to survive, go to the north wall; if you want to fight, become the cornerstone of Uruk."
"Do you understand? The time limit is until dusk. Go say goodbye to your family and friends."
"this……"
Faced with such pessimistic and calm remarks, everyone looked at each other, but under King Gilgamesh's calm and determined attitude, they could only make their own choices in the end and retreated helplessly.
When the hall became empty again, Gilgamesh looked at the Chaldean group standing nearby.
Then, seeing Siduri returning to the throne and nodding to him as always, Gilgamesh couldn't help but smile.
Then, he looked at Gudafu and others again, and said with a smile:
"You are back, Chaldeans. It seems you have successfully defeated the Gorgons."
"Yes. But..."
Thinking of the tragic situation in Uruk now, Gudafu couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh asked:
"Need a break?"
"senior……"
Matthew also looked at Gudafu worriedly, but after a moment of silence, Gudafu shook his head and said:
"No need. King, please listen to me explain what will happen next."
King Gilgamesh sat back on the throne, nodded and said with a smile:
"Tell me."
Therefore, Guddav told Gilgamesh how they defeated Gorgon, what they saw, guessed and analyzed along the way, including some important information that Merlin left behind before leaving.
"Really, Merlin is dead."
"He was so arrogant in reality, but he was defeated in his dream. This ending is very much his style."
Gilgamesh pondered: "Then, human beings are evil—that's what Merlin really said, right?"
"Yes, it is said to be one of the seven human evils awakened by the Magic King in this land."
Mashu asked doubtfully: "Um, King Gilgamesh. What are the so-called human evils? The other seven refer to...?"
Gilgamesh glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka without any trace, and then turned his attention to the Chaldean group again. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and said: "You don't know? I thought you were in the process of exploration. I have already found the answer.”
Fujimaru Ritsuka: "?"
Just talk, see what I do?
Gilgamesh ignored her. Seeing that Gudav and Mashu seemed to really know nothing about it, he explained to them.
Human evil, just like the literal meaning, is the stain of human beings, referring to the various disasters that destroy human beings. The more humans develop, the more powerful they become, like cancer eating away at the body from within society. Human evil is not evil that destroys humans based on hostility, but evil that is destroyed by humans. It is a human self-destruction mechanism and safety device that serves as the origin of the summoning of heroic spirits.
In short, the seven disasters born from human nature are human evils, also called beasts.
And now, the one awakened by the Magic King is their creation goddess, the second beast who represents the principle of "return", Tiamat.
"However, it seems that the Beasts in this land have not yet fully awakened. After all, they are still completely unresponsive. Right, from Chaldea?"
"Yes, just like King Gilgamesh said."
Da Vinci took the words and said with a smile:
"We haven't detected that vicious spiritual reaction yet, but if there is one, right? I guess it goes without saying, it must be there, right?"
——The Persian Gulf is now dyed black. Lachem who attacked Uruk came from the same direction.
At this time, Dr. Roman said:
"We have roughly analyzed that creature within the scope of our capabilities. Let's talk about the conclusion first:
It is composed of the mud of the gods, which can be called the basic material of the Mesopotamian world. It is the most powerful creature so far. Individuals that do not exist in the tree of life system have no differences between male and female individuals, so it is speculated that the current shape is still [larvae].”
"The reason why the magic response is so high is because the internal magic circuits belong to the life forms of the Gods. They can be regarded as mass-produced versions of Enkidu. Therefore, I named them Lachem."
"Rahem...yes, I think so too."
Gilgamesh smiled and said:
"Siduri, please send an order to all departments to collectively call that creature Lachem for the convenience of management."
Siduli nodded and said:
"yes."
"One more thing."
At this time, Quetzalcoatl raised his hand and said: "While cleaning up those guys, I found that some groups voluntarily withdrew from Uruk for some reason, but it didn't look like they had arrived. It doesn’t look like he has received an order even though he is at the limit of his activities.”
"Um……"
No one had any clue about the strange phenomenon discovered by Quetzalcoatl, so Gilgamesh said:
"Don't think so much about it yet."
"In short, there are two main goals at the moment: one is to find a way to deal with Lachem; the other is to find Jin Gu as soon as possible, then defeat the opponent and obtain the Holy Grail."
The Holy Grail is an important cornerstone of this singularity. If they can successfully recover the Holy Grail before Tiamat fully awakens, they may not have to confront each other head-on.
After all, compared to the complete second beast, Jin Gu is easier to deal with.
But the question now is, how to find Jingu?
At this moment, after listening to Gilgamesh’s speech, Guddav, Mash, Siduri, and even Anna all turned their attention to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Gudafu and Mashu didn't know how to find Jin Gu, but they already knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka knew someone who looked very similar to Jin Gu, and there might be some clues.
And Anna knew even more clearly that the relationship between Fujimaru Ritsuka and Jingu was far more familiar than everyone realized, and the two had even made some kind of deal.
Sensing the gazes of several people, Gilgamesh also looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Why, is there anything you can do?"
"Well... I can't say there is a way..."
Facing the probing gazes of everyone, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head in shame, then helplessly spread his hands and said: "Actually, instead of getting the Holy Grail from Jingu, I think it's better to think about how to deal with Tiama. Very practical.”
"Because, if nothing else happens, I think the other party may have given away the Holy Grail."
Of course, there is a high probability that he did not send it out voluntarily, but was ripped out of his heart by Rahm.
