I don't know how much time passed, but the hunter who had fainted woke up.
He touched his groggy head, but his mood was heavier than his head.
Although it was just a glimpse, but...
That hugeness, that sense of oppression...
It was no simple beast.
The hunter shook his head, patted his neck twice, and struggled to get up.
"Well......"
He tried his best to stay awake, and then found a way to climb out of the deep hole he dug.
Climbing to the top of the pit, he was breathing heavily, feeling uneasy and feeling exhausted after a disaster.
He swallowed, looked around with some vigilance and fear, then found some berries to fill his stomach, went to the river to drink enough water with the beast, and walked into the forest again.
He not only dug one pit, but also set many other traps, and now... he was going to check them out.
It was not to determine whether those two...huge, mythical beasts had been caught in his trap, but to determine a fact.
...
As the sky darkened, the hunter returned to his camp in the wild and sighed.
Just as he had guessed, every one of the traps he had carefully set up was destroyed, and not a single trap caught any prey.
】
...This is as good a trap as he can make.
It was impossible for him to fight the huge beast.
But...this result is not bad at all.
The corner of the hunter's mouth curved a little.
He can bring the news of the appearance of mythical beasts in the forest to Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk.
Although he will no longer have the honor of hunting the mythical beast, he can receive rewards from King Gilgamesh.
After confirming this idea, the hunter filled his stomach in his camp, and then set off towards Uruk with enough energy.
He traveled day and night and finally arrived in Uruk within a week.
And the first thing he did after arriving in Uruk was——
Ran to a tavern.
It was almost dark. If you wanted to meet King Gilgamesh, you should wait until tomorrow. He had been tired in the wild for so long and even fell into a pit and fainted. It was time to reward himself.
Pushing open the door of the tavern, the hunter skillfully sat on a seat - he often came to this tavern.
"Oh! Look who this is, old hunter Kadelji!"
Another regular customer of the tavern spotted the hunter Kadelji, ran over and patted Kadelji on the shoulder with a smile: "Why, are you willing to come out of your hunting ground in the old forest? Return to the wonderful human civilization. Come and take a rest?”
"Go away Negabanda, I just want to drink a few sips of beer and eat some bread." Kadelji pushed Negabanda away, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, "I'm exhausted."
"Siduri, bring me a glass of beer and a piece of bread!"
Negabanda was annoyed, but he was not angry. He just patted Kadelji on the back twice more and walked away.
"Okay Uncle Kadelki."
With a smile on her face, the girl named Siduli took a glass of beer from the big wooden barrel behind her, placed it in front of Kadelji, and then waved to another figure behind the counter: "Luce Lan, go get some bread."
"Okay sister!"
A furry head emerged from the counter of the tavern. It was a half-grown boy. He called Sister Siduli and ran to the back room to get bread.
"Well... Lu Silan is really growing faster and faster. It felt like he wasn't that tall when I came last time."
Kadelji took a sip of beer, and his beard was soaked, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at the direction Lu Silan left with an admiring look: "If this continues, it will feel too good." It won't be long before he becomes a strong man."
"Thank you, Uncle Kadelji. I accept your blessings and praises on Luslan's behalf."
With a flawless smile on her face, Siduli bowed slightly to Kadelji in a reserved manner.
"Haha, Siduli will also be a good woman in the future."
Negabanda laughed twice, and then shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that I won't have the chance to see Siduli too much in the future."
"Huh? What happened?"
Kadelji felt a little strange and turned to look at Negabanda.
"You have just returned to Uruk, so you may not know yet."
Another customer who was taking a swig of beer interrupted: "Siduri has been chosen by King Gilgamesh. She will probably go to work in the palace in the next few days."
"It will be difficult to see it again then."
"Really, it's hard to find another such beautiful poster girl in Uruk, but that's probably why Siduri was chosen by King Gilgamesh." Negabanda shook his head regretfully, and then laughed. , raised the wine glass in his hand, "Come on, Siduli! Get me another beer!"
"I see."
Siduli just walked out from behind the bar with a very normal smile, took the wine glass from Negabanda's hand, and didn't say much about everyone's comments about her upcoming trip to the Uruk Palace.
This was irreversible, and she didn't dislike it.
King Gilgamesh is indeed extremely cruel, but...
That kind of King Gilgamesh is not his essence.
There was a calmness in Siduri's eyes, she could see it, and she knew it.
"Here comes the bread!"
Lu Silan came out with a large plate of steaming bread and put it on the bar: "Sister, which guest wants bread?"
"I'll just come."
With a smile on her face, Siduli took two pieces of bread, placed them on a plate made of vines, and placed them in front of Kadelji: "Uncle Kadelji, this is your bread."
"Oh, oh..." Kadelji still looked a little dazed and nodded to Siduli.
Siduli... is going to the palace.
He still felt very sad.
After all, the reason why he often comes to this tavern is because there is an attractive waitress here.
After Siduli leaves, the popularity of this tavern will probably plummet, which is a pity.
Shaking his head, Kadelji didn't pay much attention to this matter, picked up the bread and took a bite.
But what he didn't notice was that the young man named Lu Silan was looking at him from the side, with an inexplicable expression on his face.
The hunter Kadelki of the Cedar Forest has returned to Uruk?
And it looked like he had a lot of injuries on his body.
Lu Silan moved his jaw and seemed to swallow.
And now Sister Siduli and I are going to the palace, so, almost...
There was a strange look in his eyes.
It was... fear, mixed with other things, incredibly complicated.
He is coming, but——
How should I face him?
