My name is Alaya,
I found Youshan...I really want to touch my head...
? ? :? ? :? ?
There was a lot of noise.
Tokiomi Tosaka felt like he was in a busy city somewhere, and the sounds all around him were the sound of bargaining, talking about things like the ale being too expensive, the silver coins being exchanged being impure, the wood being damp, and the monster skins not being complete enough. .
I wanted to open my eyes to see what was going on, but my eyelids were extremely heavy and I couldn't open them.
Just when Tokiomi gave up opening his eyes and began to think about what the current situation was, a familiar voice made him almost jump.
"Who allowed you to look up at me?" The voice said: "Bastard."
Gilgamesh wouldn't call Berserker a bastard, so is Emile back?
"I'm so sorry! My king!" Tokiomi stood up and bowed reflexively: "Please extinguish the wrath of thunder!"
"..."
The surrounding noise disappeared in an instant, as if someone told a joke about technology at a magician's party, and no one could understand it.
"Pfft..." "Hahahaha!" "Tosaka, are you stupid for taking a nap?" "He is always like this -"
The next moment, with the roar of ridicule, the noise of the market reappeared, and Tokiomi Tosaka, who was surprised to realize that he had stood up, tried to open his eyes and observe the surrounding environment.
This is a typical city-state in the Mesopotamia, surrounded by low-rise buildings in khaki color. Due to the high temperature, pedestrians on the road wear very little fabric. Some people wear pure white blouses that are not easy to absorb heat, but they themselves Still wearing the red suit.
From the various stalls and the words heard around it, I guessed that this place should be a market, and the somewhat familiar voice I just heard came from the young man with blond hair and red eyes in front of him. He was wearing blue beach shorts like modern ones. There were bright red cuneiform characters tattooed from his ribs to his shoulders, and he was holding a dog of unknown breed in his arms, looking at him with wide eyes.
Obviously, the young man's words were a joke to the dog, and he just happened to pass by Tokiomi.
Tokiomi Tosaka quickly glanced at the carpet next to him. There were more than a dozen kinds of gems and their products neatly placed there, and there were also dots of sparkles in the room behind him. It seemed that he was a gem merchant in the King of Heroes' heart?
Tokiomi had long expected this situation of seeing the Servant's past in his sleep. It would only happen after the Servant recognized the Master to a certain extent. He had originally guessed that such a thing would be impossible due to the pride of the King. .
However, according to records, this kind of dream will only be "played" quickly from the subject's memory like a vague recorded image. At this time, it is extremely clear and can even participate in the interaction.
"Really, Tosaka, even if you can find a way to attract my attention every time, the quality of those gems is really poor. If I wear them to attend the meeting, I will be severely criticized by the Speaker." The young man The young Gilgamesh seemed to be nicer than his adult form. He put down the dog and walked to the stall set up by Tokiomi Tosaka to flip through the gems.
"I'm very sorry, my king, I will look for the best gems for you." Tokiomi Tosaka replied without changing his attitude.
Even though this is just Gilgamesh's memory, being able to personally participate in it proves that it has undergone changes. If the Ancient King himself participates in it...
Tokiomi decided not to show any disrespect in this dream.
"You know, Tosaka, Istar is a girl god." The young hero king looked at the glorious temple in the distance, raised his hands and gestured with some cuneiform characters: "She has the ability to combine all the Sumei gods by nature. All the gems that are of interest to you have been collected throughout the territory, so it is completely impossible for you to find good gems."
"I will look for better gems for you." Tokiomi pondered for a moment, then quietly changed an adjective.
"Pfft... Hahaha~ Tosaka, you are so interesting." The young Gilgamesh laughed, his smile like bright sunshine. He waved his hand and turned away: "Well, if you can really find something more beautiful than what's in the temple, If it’s a good gem, I’ll take it with me to attend political meetings.”
"Farewell to my king." Tokiomi continued to say with his head lowered, ignoring the comments from around him about "Is Tosaka Kon stupid?"
Since all the gems were taken away by the goddess, magic gems were made. After the boy king walked away, Tokiomi turned around and started checking the quality of the various gems on his stall.
As the head of the Tohsaka family who is good at gem magic, Tokiomi Tokiomi's talent in gem appreciation far exceeds those of ordinary gem connoisseurs. In addition to commenting on the material, polishing crafts and place of production, they give ridiculous "market prices" "There is no way to change the quality of gems that have already been formed, but magic to improve the quality of gems is the foundation of the foundation for Tokiomi.
"Well, it turns out there are only so many pieces available?" Tokiomi was a little disappointed looking at the few silver-white gems he had sorted out.
After all, this is an era where prettiest pebbles are regarded as gemstones, and artificial gemstones do not exist at all. Therefore, strictly speaking, what he, a "gem merchant", sells is only stone handicrafts. I have found materials suitable for performing gem magic. I am actually lucky to have such a few pieces.
Tokiomi Tosaka walked into his shop with a silver gem, placed the gem on a piece of furniture that was probably a table, and began to cast the magic of gem transformation—no, magic.
Rather, based on the definition of "magic is just magic if it can be realized by ordinary people using scientific means." Most of the magic that Tokiomi mastered can be called magic in Sumer.
And what effect will magic achieve when the "mystery" it contains has not dissipated?
The effect was so good that Tokiomi was extremely glad that he didn't use it outside. The dazzling light made him turn around and close his eyes. If he used it outside, it would probably alarm even the temple. Although he didn't know what God looked like, but Better not to attract attention…
"[Hey, there is a leaky fish here.]" The inexplicably familiar girl's voice sounded from behind.
When he turned around, those silver gems had turned into a white-gold gem that was taller than an ordinary child. Its twinkling light and perfect light-transmitting refractive index amazed Tokiomi Tosaka, who had seen countless gems.
Next to the gem stood a girl with black hair and black eyes. She wore a gemstone crown on her forehead, a white skirt with complicated golden decorations, and both arms were covered with pure gold armbands. Bare feet.
She was looking at the gem with shining eyes, or a gem that could be used as a quantifier.
"Rin? Why are you here?" Tokiomi Tosaka frowned. Even if Gilgamesh did it, this is too much. If Rin is involved in this Holy Grail War...
"[How dare you call God by his name? Even if you are Tosaka, I won't forgive you!]" The girl who looked suspiciously like Rin didn't take her eyes away from the gem at all. She raised her hand and pointed at Tokiomi: "[God's Punishment]! "
Tokiomi, who was thinking about which Babylonian goddess was named "lin", didn't have time to avoid it, and then - his hair was swayed by a sudden breeze.
Well, this is really Rin, even the magic effects are exactly the same as when he first learned wind magic.
"Don't be ridiculous, this is a tribute to my king." Tokiomi Tosaka reached out and held the girl's armpits and hugged her down.
"[What! Give it to him rather than give it to me!]" After the girl landed, she found that the spell was ineffective, so she used her fists to hit Tokiomi: "[Don't you know that gods are nobler than kings!]"
"No, no, no, the gods of Babylon rely on the kings of the world for their existence," Tokiomi solemnly gave his "daughter" popular science: "For example, Anu is the king of the gods, because the Uruk he protects is Sumerian. The most powerful of the many city-states.”
"[You call God by his name again!]" "Rin" waved his hands angrily, but this time there wasn't even a breath of wind blowing.
"Moreover," Tokiomi continued, ignoring her dissatisfaction: "When the Babylonian city-state unified the two river basins in the future, its patron saint, Marduk, who was originally the god of agriculture, became the god of war and the king of the gods."
"[What! That earthy guy replaced God the Father?]" Rin, who calls herself a goddess, stamped her foot: "[I'll go and deal with him now!]"
"That's... Istar, right?" After watching the girl disappear, Tokiomi Tosaka began to analyze the current situation: "Due to historical reasons, he was suppressed to this extent by my king in the dream? But why was it Rin's time? Appearance?"
Could it be that Gilgamesh never looked at Ishtar in history and didn't even know his appearance?
Anyway, let’s prepare the tribute to the young Gilgamesh first. Putting aside those irrelevant thoughts for the time being, Tokiomi raised his hand and pointed at the gem and began to activate the magic power.
Because modern technology can be used to create more exquisite and detailed shapes, the "gem shaping" magic that can only rely on the magician's own aesthetics has completely lost its "mystery".
but now……
As soon as Tokiomi started to cast magic, the sun that was slightly westward outside the window suddenly set. Before he could pause the spell out of surprise, the night quickly passed and turned into day again.
"I see, the day when the gem takes shape is when my king comes." Tokiomi shook his head and threw the dream setting aside, and continued to cast magic.
"Hey~ Tosaka, do you have a gem chain here?"
After the sun rose and set more than thirty times rapidly, the shape of the gem changed into a silver chain with triangles and circles at both ends. Before Tokiomi could get confused, the voice of the young Gilgamesh came. Came from outside.
Well, my king has no plans left. Tokiomi picked up the chain and walked out.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tosaka." Gilgamesh outside the door was still dressed in the same style, but with a blouse added, and beside him was a gentle young man with long green hair and a white robe.
"It's not hard work, it's natural to serve my king." Tokiomi, who instantly understood who it was, handed over the chain with even more respect.
"Well, not bad, not bad." Gilgamesh took the chain and waved it casually. The gem chain, which was originally too short for a belt, instantly stretched countless times, and a piece of land was arranged around the three of them: "This should be enough. You can catch eight-point wagyu.”
"It's Humbaba and the Bull." The green-haired boy corrected.
"That's right. When we catch them, I'll give you the lion and you the cow." The young hero king put away his chains and walked out of the city.
"The ox cannot be used as a mount. Just send it to the plowing fields." The green-haired boy followed up: "I will ride with you."
"Thank you, Tosaka~" Gilgamesh waved his hand from afar: "When I come back, I will recommend you to join the parliament——"
"Serving the king, I dare not have any agenda." Tokiomi bowed his head.
"[Damn it, you don't thank me even though I have added divine power to be so powerful.]" Rin, no, the goddess Istar appeared behind Tokiomi, her tone a bit gritty.
"You like him, right?" Tokiomi didn't look back to avoid the illusion that he was teaching his daughter a bad lesson.
"[Wha, what! How could I like that arrogant and stinky child king who doesn't take me seriously at all!]" Istar quickly said a long series of denials.
This level of love cannot be concealed.
"But you are not the patron saint of Uruk, and your priesthood has nothing to do with him. He will not care about you." Tokiomi deliberately ignored who they were talking about at the moment.
"[Hmph...huhuhu...]" The young goddess let out a strange laugh and disappeared behind Tokiomi.
? ? :? ? :? ?
It is said that the new king of Uruk has an outstanding vision. Not only did he recruit a general who could restrain the giant lion Humbaba and the bull at the same time, he also promoted a powerful prime minister from the bottom of Uruk to make the original restraint of the king The elders of the council retreated, and there were rumors that the king was actually loved by a powerful goddess.
"I've submitted it several times. The reports should use the same rules as possible. If someone insists on being unique, his report will be rejected."
Tokiomi was quite satisfied with the strange scene where the sun and moon alternated rapidly and even became a line after he just took a few steps into the house, because the Ancient King sped up for the dream, but even the scene was changed. It took him by surprise.
"Huh? What's going on with this stupid arrangement! Hasn't the body of the poisonous monster been transported away yet? Tell those scholars that if they have to study it in situ, they will never have to study it again!"
As an excellent magician, Tokiomi quickly read out the results of "his" magic presets from the stone tablet in front of him. He just had to follow the script.
However... the method and content of this message are entirely "my" handiwork. Could it be that such a long time really passed that "Tosaka" rose from the gem merchant to the prime minister step by step? It was just that that period was too boring. Killed by the Ancient King?
Gilgamesh sat boredly on the golden throne behind Tokiomi. Judging from his body shape, he had not grown much, while Enkidu, the green-haired boy, sat beside him and looked at him with a smile. Minister's work.
"Those priests are pretending to be stupid again! The so-called god-given gems in the temple were obviously stolen by Istar from elsewhere. They usually forget about it. But now when the owners come to the door, they still resist. When we lack that little rag, we can't do it. ?”
All the officials in the audience bowed their heads deeply because the prime minister dared to call God's name directly.
"This kind of astrological report... let them start the divination again! Is there any difference between 'It will rain next month' and 'There will be rain next month'?"
"A large amount of gold disappeared during the escort? Go back and change the record to not disappear, and I will ask that stinky girl to return them."
"puff."
The officials in the audience were already trembling, but the Young Hero King burst into laughter.
"My king..." "[Damn Tosaka! Who are you, the stinky girl?"
When Tokiomi turned around and was about to report to Gilgamesh, the ceiling of the council hall was broken by a golden figure. Istar was still in the same attire, and he didn't look much older, but he had an extra hand. A huge bow made of gold and sapphires, larger than herself.
"The cost of repairing the ceiling will be added to the amount of gold you need to find," Tokiomi ignored the fleeing officials and carefully looked at the giant bow in the girl's hand: "There is also the manufacturing cost of this bow."
"[Hey! This is a divine weapon! It's natural for common people to offer their property to the gods!]" Istar landed angrily. The bow was indeed twice as tall as herself.
"But what you took was my gold and gems." The young Gilgamesh said from the golden throne.
"[Humph]" Istar waved the giant bow in his hand proudly: "[Don't you understand when you see this bow? This goddess has been upgraded again. This time not only has she won the priesthood of marriage and love, she even Even the priesthoods such as blind date, love at first sight, hero saving beauty, etc. are all taken back!]"
"So?" Tokiomi asked, who seriously doubted the existence of those priests.
"[So, if you don't accept me, Gil, you will never marry the queen! You will meet me in any situation where you may meet the person you like!]" Istar announced proudly.
"Enkidu!" "[Huh?]"
When Istar was curious about why the King of Heroes was calling his friend's name, a platinum chain appeared next to her like lightning and tied her tightly.
Not Enkidu, but the Locks!
"Go and invite Anu," the young Gilgamesh smiled wryly and waved to Tokiomi: "I am planning to use foreign troops recently to let him keep an eye on his daughter."
"I obey your order, my king." Tokiomi bowed his head respectfully.
"[What! Are you going to steal the princess of the enemy country?! I didn't expect this! Let me go, I'm going to find the 'Princess Stealing' priesthood!]"
76:12:33
The bright golden color and the familiar killing intent made Tokiomi Tosaka wake up instantly. He had stayed in the underground workshop without going to bed because of Qili's unauthorized actions. It seemed that he fell asleep accidentally.
"My king, please forgive me for my rudeness——" Tokiomi quickly straightened the wrinkles on his suit and stood up to salute.
"Hmph, not only are you rude, you are also very arrogant, Tosaka—Prime Minister." The shining golden heroic spirit opposite spoke words that made him tremble.
Sure enough, the Servant had feelings when he had that dream, and a heroic spirit as powerful as the King of Heroes could even know its contents.
"However, because you successfully entertained me, you can still get a reward after the merits and demerits are balanced." The Ancient King said: "I give you an opportunity to 'admonish'. Although it is my magic power that realizes it, You have the qualifications... Tokiomi."
As the words fell, the golden figure disappeared.
