As soon as Siduri left the palace to look for Ananu and Enkidu, she saw these two people coming back.
"Huh? Lord Ananu, Lord Enkidu, are you back?" She asked tentatively, a little confused.
"Who are you?" Ananu looked at the woman who stopped him with some confusion.
".?"
At this moment, Siduli's eyes were filled with confusion.
Hasn't she been arranging for people to take care of Ananu and Enkidu for more than a week? Sometimes she even delivers meals herself?
Taking a deep breath, Siduli bowed slightly to the two of them, a little aggrieved and helpless.
"Lord Ananu, Lord Enkidu, I am Siduri, the new assistant officer of the palace." She maintained a respectful and polite smile. Although Ananu and Enkidu could not see clearly because of the veil, they She still kept it.
"Is Siduri the assistant officer?" Enkidu blinked.
"It's like this. We want to try farming or herding. Shamhat said we can just find an auxiliary officer. Are we looking for you?"
Seeing the two people talking one sentence to the other as if they were the same sentence, Siduli felt that it was quite funny?
Although power can cause horrific scenes like natural disasters, the hearts of these two people are surprisingly interesting.
Moreover, the attitude towards the king
A glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes involuntarily.
As the young assistant officer who had been keeping an eye on the king for a long time, Siduri knew it.
The king is lonely, the king is aloof.
The reason is that no one can have a dialogue from the same height as the aloof king, and no one can sit and think from the same perspective as the aloof king.
The king is the king of mankind, and he is a human being, but he is not a pure human being.
Siduli knows this, and all Uruk people know this.
Gilgamesh is the child of gods and humans, a born king.
However, a king with the blood of a god is not even a god.
He has the power and wisdom of God, but does not have the lifespan of God, and is destined to be incompatible with God.
Just like him and the patron saint of the city-state of Uruk, the goddess of Venus Ishtar.
Ishtar didn't take him seriously, and he never took Ishtar seriously.
After Ishtar returned from the underworld, she had nothing to do except take her husband, the unlucky agricultural god Dumuzi, as her scapegoat and send her away to the underworld, because she was already the mistress of the sky. And the mistress of the earth.
So her greatest pleasure now is driving her Ma Anna around the world. She is obviously the patron saint of Uruk, but she doesn't stay in Uruk for at least eleven months out of the year.
He does not belong to humans or gods, but he is the king of humans, living in a city-state protected by gods.
This is King Gilgamesh.
Siduli knew this very well, but there was nothing she could do.
She knew that she was not the one who could give Gilgamesh a human life. She did not have the qualifications and abilities.
but now.
She looked at the ignorant twins in front of her, and for the first time she felt some possible hope.
"I see."
She nodded to Ananu and Enkidu: "I will write the application for land and livestock on a clay tablet and show it to the king. If nothing happens, the king should finalize the result within three days. "
"But if it's two adults, I guess the king will have a reply tonight." Siduli smiled.
Ananu and Enkidu nodded together.
"But, may I ask you two adults, what do you want to do specifically?" Siduli held the clay tablet and spread her hands, "If possible, can you explain it in more detail?"
Ananu and Enkidu looked at each other.
To be honest, they didn't quite know what they should do. What they learned from Shamhat was that farming and herding were the most common jobs in Urukri.
In addition, there are many jobs that can be done, such as brewing wine, baking bread, hunting, sewing clothes, burning pottery, etc., but these basically require some threshold.
"I'm going to farm." Ananu said first.
"I'm going to graze," Enkidu said later.
"I understand, I will sort it out and report it to the king." Siduli nodded, took the initiative to stand beside the two of them, and gave way to the palace, "As for today, the two adults are going to rest. Or should we continue to visit Uruk?"
". Putting aside everything else, Siduli, why do you call us adults?"
Ananu was silent for a moment, first glanced at Enkidu, and then asked Siduri strangely.
"Huh?" Siduli was stunned.
"We are not people of high status. To Uruk, we are actually even unwelcome guests." Enkidu shook his head and explained to Siduri.
"Our original purpose was to bring humans who were taken away from the gods because of King Gilgamesh's inappropriate behavior back to the embrace of the gods." Ananu's eyes were calm, and she looked into Siduri's eyes. Siduri was a little hairy.
"Originally our plan was to kill King Gilgamesh or make him lose the ability to lead humans to continue walking." Enkidu did not hide it from Siduri and told everything.
"If Enkidu hadn't been touched by Shamhat, causing us to doubt the guidance of the gods, we would have even taken action."
"So, why do you call us 'Sir'?"
Listening to Ananu and Enkidu's words, Siduri took a step back involuntarily.
She looked at the pair of identical faces with different temperaments, thinking about what they had just said, forced herself to calm down, and took two deep breaths.
Then, a smile appeared.
"But you two didn't do that, right?"
She hugged the clay tablet in her arms tightly.
"No matter what the reason is, at least you, Lord Enkidu, did not choose to kill the king, and Lord Ananu."
Siduli glanced at Ananu cautiously.
"I targeted Gilgamesh because I sensed the fight between Enkidu and Gilgamesh." Ananu said calmly, "I am the Key to the Sky and the Lock to the Sky. Enkidu’s protective mechanism, Enkidu’s safety is the first factor in the operation of my body.”
".Is that so?" Siduli nodded, indicating that she understood.
"So, now you will not cause harm to the king and Uruk, at least until you can see this city clearly with your eyes, right?" Siduli opened her hands, "Please take a look. Come on, experience it.”
"I believe you will get your answer."
