Chapter 853 The Ancient King



Lin Qiye had just taken two steps when a figure came up behind him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Mr. Dean." Merlin looked at Lin Qiye with a smile, "Are you going to find that tyrant?"

Lin Qiye nodded, "Well, what's wrong?"

Merlin shrugged, stretched out his hand in the air, and a small magic circle opened in his palm. A moment later, a dark green copper fragment fell into his hand and was handed to Lin Qiye.

"Take this with you." Merlin said slowly, "Perhaps it can help you."

Lin Qiye took the copper fragment and examined it carefully in his palm. The fragment was about half the size of his palm. From the outermost outline, it was a fragment broken from some kind of round badge. It occupied about one-third of the original badge. The surface was intertwined with complex and mysterious patterns, which looked simple and ancient.

"This is..." Lin Qiye looked at Merlin in confusion.

"This is a fragment I found from the ruins of the Kingdom of Uruk when I was traveling around the world in the ancient times. Perhaps it is related to that person."

"Sir Merlin, do you know anything about Gilgamesh?"

"I guess so." Merlin smiled. "If you want to explore the essence of the world and pursue truth and true knowledge, you need to have a lot of experience and knowledge. I have personally visited the ruins of ancient civilizations that once existed in the world but eventually returned to dust, and I have also found some unknown secrets from them...

That person, and his Kingdom of Uruk, were also once my research subjects.”

Hearing these words, Lin Qiye's eyes lit up slightly.

He went to find Gilgamesh in order to learn some past events from his words and deduce the cause of the disease. Now that Merlin knew Gilgamesh's past, it naturally saved him the effort of slowly groping.

Lin Qiye immediately sat down on the small stool opposite Merlin.

"Mr. Merlin, if you have time, please tell me about Gilgamesh." Lin Qiye said seriously, "After the fog fell, Daxia's records of the ancient myths of Uruk were very vague, and I couldn't get any important information from them."

Merlin smiled and said, "Some things involve the secrets of the gods, so of course they cannot be recorded in history books..."

Merlin stretched out his hand and drew lightly in the air. After a moment, a magic circle opened automatically. Rays of light and shadows flowed on the magic circle, interweaving into different pictures.

The first picture shows an ancient and magnificent city-state, standing on the wilderness, like a pearl in the wilderness, shining with the light of civilization and wisdom.

"Around the 27th century BC, an unprecedented strong man emerged from the ancient Uruk Empire. He was the legendary hero king, Gilgamesh. With two-thirds of divine blood, he possessed power and wisdom beyond the mundane world, and successfully became the fifth king of the Kingdom of Uruk.

He was a tyrant that had never appeared in the history of the Kingdom of Uruk. Under his tyranny, the entire kingdom was in a high-pressure environment, but at the same time, due to his absolute control over the kingdom and his extraordinary wisdom, the national strength of the Kingdom of Uruk was also rising at an astonishing rate. "

Merlin controlled the magic circle, and the scene changed. Two figures slowly descended from the sky above the ancient city-state, ruling over the Kingdom of Uruk.

"Gilgamesh made this kingdom the most powerful one on earth. Uruk's national destiny was like a giant pillar reaching into the sky, shaking the foundation of the nearby kingdom of God. So they sent two gods to the lower world, claiming to remove the tyrant Gilgamesh for the people, but in fact they wanted to undermine Uruk's national destiny."

"Cut off the fate of the nation?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully after hearing these three words, "Can the fate of the nation really be cut off?"

"Of course, national destiny is the key to a country's continued prosperity. Generally, a truly ancient and powerful country will have the means to protect its national destiny, but the Kingdom of Uruk at that time did not have such means..."

The scene on Merlin's magic circle changed again. Inside the ancient city-state, a young man in a royal robe had eyes as sharp as a sword. Amid the worship of all living beings, he ascended to heaven in one step, holding a golden sword in his hand, and fought with the two gods.

"In order to protect the fate of Uruk, Gilgamesh used his demigod body to fight against the two gods and finally won." Merlin paused and continued, "But when the two gods left, they left a message that when Gilgamesh died of old age, the fate of Uruk would be cut off...

Gilgamesh is only a demigod. Although he has amazing fighting power, his life span is no different from that of a mortal. He will eventually die of old age. Without the protection of the tyrant Gilgamesh, Uruk can only become a prey to the mercy of the kingdom of God. "

In the shadow of the magic circle, Gilgamesh, who had been seriously injured in the battle with the two gods, sat weakly on the throne, staring at the sky outside the palace, as if he was thinking about something.

"Later, Gilgamesh embarked on the journey of pursuing immortality." Merlin's fingertips lightly hooked, and the magic circle quickly flashed through pictures. "He went to the top of the mountains to look for magical herbs, and went to the bottom of the deep sea to explore secret treasures, but in the end he did not find the way to immortality.

He could only rely on the magic medicine to barely maintain his life, but eventually he came to the end of his lifespan. "

In the shadow, the magnificent and luxurious palace was empty. The elderly Gilgamesh sat alone on the throne. His wrinkled hands tightly grasped the sword of kingship inserted in the armrest of the throne, and his eyes were fixed on the sky outside the palace, as if he was alert to something.

But in the end, his life burned to the end and he still lost his breath...

He died, but he did not close his eyes. Those angry, unwilling eyes were still staring at the sky that towered above all living things. This lonely and unyielding king was still guarding his city-state until the last moment of his life.

"After his death, the two gods arrived as promised. Just as they were laughing at Gilgamesh's death and old age, the sword of kingship held in Gilgamesh's hand flew out automatically and cut off the head of a god in an instant...

That was the last thing the king of this city-state did for this city.

After losing one god, the other god was horrified, thinking that this was a trap set by Gilgamesh, and immediately left the world... It was not until a long time later that the Kingdom of God sent people to the earth again to destroy the destiny of the Kingdom of Uruk.

In the end, the Kingdom of Uruk was lost in the long river of history."

As Merlin finished his words, the shadow in the magic circle disappeared, and Lin Qiye sat quietly in front of him, falling into silence.
