"I will offer you the homage that belongs to the King of Uruk, Enki, the Water God."
Gilgamesh no longer called himself "my king" in front of the god in front of him, but solemnly saluted him with a respectful face.
In this world, there are always some people, or gods, who deserve to be respected sincerely. God Enki is such a god.
Although he is sometimes very unreliable, although he likes to fish at work, although he is a little slow and sometimes ignores some details, he is the father of mankind, the God of creation, and he loves equally. Every person, every life.
He chose to love even a cub like Ishtar unconditionally. When Ishtar's father and the great god remained silent, he chose to create Kurgalu and Galatulu to go to the underworld to save them.
How can such a real god not be respected by others?
"Gilgamesh, my son, I knew you would come."
There was a smile on Enki's pretty face. He looked very young, but he exuded an aura called "kindness" all the time.
"And Ananu, Enkidu, are you okay?" He stood up, walked to Tianzhisuo and Tianzhikey, hugged them gently, and gave Ananu and Enkidu a warm hug. Qidu felt a little cautious.
"Well, God Enki."
Ananu, a guy with quite a lot of fun-loving attributes, was extremely honest in front of God Enki.
"Long time no see, God Enki." Enkidu looked little different from usual.
"This is Siduri, I've heard of you. That Ishtar kid likes you very much."
Enki walked to Siduri's side again and rubbed Siduri's head.
"God Enki."
Siduli returned to her polite manner and said respectfully.
She is a show person and will never disgrace Uruk.
"And Lu Silan, Siduli's younger brother, a very cute child."
Enki's hand moved naturally and placed it on Lu Silan's head.
"God Enki."
Lu Silan was a little bit embarrassed, but also a little helpless.
It is estimated that all human beings are "lovable children" in the eyes of God Enki. No matter old or young, male or female, even if you are disabled or deformed, he will love you. This is God Enki.
It’s just the word cute. It’s really not appropriate to use it on Lu Silan. He is also an old monster who has used his soul to travel through various eras and has lived for hundreds of years. It’s true when he hears this word used to describe himself. Feeling a little diaphragmatic.
"Father, why are you not older than me after saying hello to everyone?" Nan She pouted and looked at her father with dissatisfaction.
"Haha, how could that happen? Come here and let Father God give you a hug."
A pampering and happy smile appeared on Enki's face, and he waved to Nan She.
Nan She's face turned red for a moment, but after hesitating, she leaned over and hugged her father gently.
After letting go of Nanshe, he rubbed Nanshe's head again, and then let go of his daughter. God Enki's expression finally became more serious and he looked at Gilgamesh.
"God Enki, why are we here?" Sensing the look in God Enki's eyes, Gilgamesh took the initiative to speak out his purpose.
"Child, I know your purpose of coming." God Enki sat back and waved his hand to interrupt Gilgamesh's words, "Take Siduri and Luslan out."
The second half of what he said was to his attendants.
He will not be stingy with all knowledge. As long as his children want to get something from him, as long as it does not touch the bottom line of God Enki, they can basically get what they want.
An attendant came in from outside the palace, bowed to God Enki, and then looked at Siduli and Luslan: "Two adults, please come with me."
Siduri glanced at Gilgamesh.
There was some thought in Gilgamesh's eyes, and then he nodded to Siduri.
Siduli expressed her understanding, bowed to God Enki together with Luslan, and then exited the water god's temple with the attendant.
In the temple, there are still two gods, two weapons made by gods, and a human king, the wedge of heaven.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.
"Child, is there no room for this?" God Enki paused for a moment, sighed, and looked at Gilgamesh.
"God Enki, it's not me who left no room." Gilgamesh just shook his head.
"It's the god Ishtar."
God Enki opened his mouth, but just sighed.
"It's true that Ishtar kid is wrong."
"What is it that you want?"
"If you want me to stop the Great God, I will do it, but I am only one person, and I cannot stop two people at the same time." Enki pointedly said, "However, I hope that you can Don’t kill that child Ishtar.”
Ishtar is still crucial. God Enki does not want to see this goddess like his daughter die, even if she deserves it.
This is his shortcoming. Although he is obviously unreliable, he still always wants to pursue a world where no one will get retribution.
Nan She looked a little speechless, as if her father had said nothing.
"We will not kill her, God Enki." Ananu said, "We didn't plan to do that in the first place."
I have mentioned this issue before. If Ishtar wants to be killed, it is easy to kill. Ananu can easily kill the Seven Lords of Destiny without any effort on his own. He can even hang it up like bacon. But the problems after Ishtar's death are difficult to deal with.
Even if Enlil is ignored, the Anunnaki world will riot and even want to kill Ananu and Enkidu at any cost.
There is a difference between the theoretical possibility of killing God and actually killing God.
As long as you don't take any real action, it doesn't matter if you are an enemy of the gods, but as long as you actually kill a god, the matter is not as big as usual.
It is precisely for this reason, and the will of the great god, that Ishtar chose to dance in this minefield at this critical moment - you don't dare to kill me, what, you are not convinced?
"That's all right. I'm willing to persuade the great god." Enki smiled and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After this incident is over, Ishtar will have to be banned for a while.
Running outside all day long will always cause some trouble. This willful child needs to be disciplined.
"Thank you, God Enki."
"We will stay here for about ten days. During this time, I need to trouble you."
Ten days, this is what is left for Siduli and Luslan.
Ten days later, he returned to Uruk, looking for news and preparing to face the evil intentions from the Anunnaki.
