Human shields, as a weapon, can block the attacks of many gods, but if they want to block the attacks of the main god level... it is still a bit too reluctant.
However, it would be a bit ridiculous to deny them just because of this level. Nanshe is just a nameless water spring goddess. Compared with Enqi, the original creator of Kurgalu and Galatulu, and her father god, she can be said to be on a par with the heavens and the earth, and Ananu And Enkidu, they have skills but no authority, and all they can do is some simple modifications.
The final result is this. If Nanshe's strength can be stronger, maybe Kurgalu and Galatulu will also be stronger, but without that, this is the best result at the moment.
"Shamhat, together with Adkart, Kurgalu and Galatulu, help me protect my city-state." Gilgamesh stood up and looked at him who was still sitting next to him, with his head lowered. said the silent Shamhat.
"Ananu, Enkidu, let's go find Siduri and Luslan."
"And God Nan She, please help me lead the way." He nodded gently to Nan She. As soon as Nan She got up from the bruised and swollen beauty Ananu, she saw Gilgamesh nodding to him with complicated eyes.
"I understand, I will take you to Eridu to meet my father God." She said.
"Excuse me."
"Let's go." After saying that, Gilgamesh took the lead and walked out of the temple. Ananu wanted to follow Gilgamesh, but there was still a pause in his steps. He and Enkidu looked at each other, nodded slightly, then turned around and walked to Shamhat's side.
Shamhat finally made his own choice, giving up his god, his faith, and all the meaning of being a human being for twenty years.
Ever since she had memories, she has existed in this world, and the meaning of her existence in Uruk is
"Consecrate yourself to God", whether it is the soul, the body, or even the meaning of the entire life.
However, just now, Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, cut her and everything she owned in an almost cruel way, leaving her soul bloody.
She collapsed on the ground, leaning on the throne, her eyes were dull, and her body seemed to have no strength at all.
"Enkidu..."
"Annu..." She did not raise her head, her voice was filled with pathos, and her eyes reflected those beautiful, white feet, but they seemed to be thousands of miles away and unable to be touched.
"Why...people...must make a choice...in order to survive...?" There was death in her voice.
She felt her hands being held, both hands being held, by different hands. But she was indifferent, she could only feel the coldness from that hand.
"We will not excuse what Gil did, Shamhat." Enkidu lowered his eyes, stretched his hand forward, and hugged Shamhat's other waist. ,
“But take heart, in your strength and wisdom.”
"You are a powerful person and should not fall like this." Ananu made the same move as Enkidu, but on the other side,
"Making a choice or not does not represent the height of survival, it just determines whether you can survive." The two of them whispered in Shamhat's ears, one on each side, making Shamhat's body tremble slightly. .
"Anyway, you are saying this...for Gilgamesh." Shamhat's voice trembled slightly, but with an extremely obvious coldness, it was far away.
"No, this is for you who give us knowledge." Enkidu shook his head and said with a smile,
"We will not abandon our former friends just because we have new friends."
"We will not question you, we will respect your choice, and we will grieve for you, but what we will do more is bless you." Ananu put Shamhat's hands on his two Between his hands, he looked at Shamhat with a smile.
"Whatever 'choice' you make, we will bless you, Shamhat."
"Be in a good mood. Even if you choose to join the underworld, I can ask Kurgalu to bring news to Ereshkigal for me and ask her to create a comfortable gun threshold for you." She said to Shamha Te blinked his eyes,
"I have a pretty good relationship with that goddess of the underworld." Nan She's eyes became sharp. And Shamhat was also a little confused when he heard Ananu's words.
"You really... have a wide range of knowledge..." She said this involuntarily, and glanced at Goddess Nanshe as she spoke.
Goddess Nanshe's eyes became even sharper.
"Are you feeling better?" Enkidu let go of Shamhat and rubbed her face. Shamhat was stunned again, with a hint of complexity and helplessness in his expression.
"...Yeah." She didn't say thank you, she just nodded lightly and agreed, then stood up unsteadily.
"Now that I have made my choice, I will not waver any more. I will do what I should do as...an official of Uruk."
"You..." She turned around and was at the door of the front hall. Blocking out a patch of sunshine, his spine was slightly stooped, and the expression on his face was so unbearable and hesitant, but his eyes were still looking closely at Ananu and Enkidu.
Although it was only for a brief moment, the frustrated soul made both Ananu and Enkidu stunned and moved by it.
"To survive."
"Ananu, Enkidu, survive."
"No matter what happens, we must fight and survive." After saying these words, Shamhat turned around and left with staggering steps, towards the direction of the temple.
She must fulfill her promise to the king and do what she should do. Ananu and Enki both looked at each other and felt...silence.
Are they too cruel? Really, isn't it cruel to ask Shamhat to cheer up at this time?
"Hey, aren't you going to leave yet?" Gilgamesh's voice came from outside the front hall, urging him.
"...We are here." After a long silence, Ananu agreed.
"Wait." When Ananu and Enkidu were about to walk out, Nanshe called out to Ananu with a serious face.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ananu tilted his head, seeming a little confused.
"Aren't you going to talk to me?" Nan She's expression was kind.
"The goddess of the underworld...what happened in Ereshkigal?"
