Both Kadelji and Adkat were breathing heavily.
"We've been here for a week...something's not right here, brother...something's not right." Adkart swallowed, wiped the blood from his face, and looked serious.
They came to the hunter's cabin in Kadelki and have been living there for more than a week.
On the first day, they killed Basiumu, buried two warriors, and then conducted reconnaissance.
In the next two days, Kadelji led others to conduct a larger and more comprehensive exploration, and then made a more specific hunting plan.
but......
Something is wrong in the cedar forest.
What did the original cedar forest look like?
In the memories of Kadelji and Adkart, this place maintains its exquisite appearance even in the severe winter. Countless lives thrive here. Hunters always come back with smiles when they come here. This is the most beautiful place in nature. The epitome of good, savage and beautiful.
And now?
On the fourth day, the injured basically recovered their ability to move, and the hunters all set out to start hunting.
But after they killed the Ugal, the wind came.
Accompanied by dark clouds, it was still daytime, but the cedar forest seemed to have fallen into night.
Following the strong wind and dark clouds, came the heavy rain.
There was no other way, so a group of people could only hurry up and take Ugar's body back to the hunter's cabin, and then make plans.
But it's not over yet.
Thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, sandstorms, all kinds of strange things hit from time to time, seriously disrupting the hunters' hunting rhythm, and even causing... unexpected injuries.
Hunters are starting to get sick.
No one can withstand the abnormal climate.
"Something must have happened deep in the cedar forest that we don't know about." Kadelji looked solemnly as he looked from the canopy to the still clear sky.
I don’t know when, I will probably fall into that kind of abnormality again.
"Let's take the Uridim we just killed first... The sick people need some nutrition." Adkart sighed.
This weird weather gave him a bad feeling.
After all... when Ananu attacked, he was standing on the city wall, and witnessed with his own eyes the aloof king who was almost killed by the monster. That scene made him feel... ..eternal fear.
Even now, he would be awakened by the nightmare of such a natural disaster.
And this phenomenon in the cedar forest...how could he not think about Ananu?
...Wait a minute and discuss this matter with my brother.
...
"......Who are you?"
Nan She looked at the veiled human being who appeared behind him, feeling a little confused.
She was fishing when this human suddenly appeared behind her.
"The god of Nanshe, Shamhat, a disciple of Inshtar, offers you respect and greetings from King Gilgamesh."
Shamhat said in a respectful voice.
But in fact, she felt a little numb.
Because...why her again?
It was she who went to the cedar forest to find Enkidu Ananu last time, and it was she who came to find the God of Nanshe this time. Why, is Shen Ji the only one? Caught her gathering wool from a sheep?
Of course, Shamhat only dared to make such complaints in her heart. Not to mention big figures like King Gilgamesh and Nanshe, even Ananu and Enkidu, she didn't really want to offend.
...Who let them both use my face.
Every time he thought about this, Shamhat felt a little haggard.
"Shamhat...you are the Shamhat who gave his appearance to Ananu and Enkidu." Nanshe recalled it and suddenly realized.
Shamhat: ...Are you okay?
"Yes." With a business-like smile on his face, Shamhat bowed slightly to God Nanshe.
"What did King Gilgamesh send you to do?" She was a little curious, "Can you take off your veil and let me see?"
Shamhat was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
After taking off the veil, the face that was exactly the same as Ananu and Enkidu, except that the color of the hair and the hair was different, appeared in front of Nanshe.
"oh!"
Nanshe exclaimed, put away the fishing rod, walked around Shamhat several times, and observed Shamhat carefully.
"You, what are you doing?" Shamhat was a little panicked.
"Don't worry, I'm just taking a look." Nanshe looked serious. She stopped in front of Shamhat, looked at Shamhat's face and eyes seriously.
Being stared at, Shamhat blushed involuntarily and subconsciously did not dare to look at Nan She.
"Um......"
Nan She touched her chin and fell into deep thought.
"Nan, Nan She Shen?"
Nanshe put her face in front of Shamhat's face and shrugged her nose.
"Um......"
In the end, Nanshe shook his head.
"no feelings."
Shamhat: ...Do I still have to thank you?
"I probably know what King Gilgamesh is worried about. You can go back." Nanshe lost interest in Shamhat and waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm not from the Anunnaki side. If I had to choose a hometown, I would probably choose Eridu, so don’t worry about me telling the Anunnaki about the Sky Key and the Sky Lock.”
"But... there is still something I want to remind him." Nanshe's eyes became serious.
"Since he has chosen to do some things, he must be prepared to be truly opposed by God."
】
Shamhat was silent for a moment, then put on his veil.
She sighed slightly and nodded.
"I understand, God Nanshe."
"But, I still have a question. Can you help me clarify it?"
"Huh? What's the question? Can you ask me?" Nanshe was very talkative.
"What is your position in this reminder, and for whom is it being reminded?"
Shamhat looked into the eyes of God Nanshe and did not avoid it this time.
"...This is not something that a goddess like you should consider." Nan Shening choked for a while and finally said this.
She looked complicated and turned around: "Go back quickly."
Nodding, Shamhat walked towards the city of Uruk without further delay.
Nanshe was left sitting alone next to the creek and sighed.
Yes, what is your position, and for whom do you send this reminder?
Otherwise, just admit that you are a person who falls in love at first sight and that you really like that weapon?
But - it doesn't make sense...
Nanshe closed her eyes, showing a little fierceness.
never mind.
What's the procrastination? Didn't Enlil also fall in love with Ninlil at first sight? Why can't I do it myself?
Tomorrow, write a love letter!
