The singularity of Mesopotamia, the city of Uruk.
Under the huge and majestic palace, what is being held at this time is...
A funeral.
The legendary wise king stood on the main seat, silently, looking at the person who was about to be sent to the earth to sleep, with some fluctuations in his eyes.
There were a few people in strange clothes standing beside him, but no one said anything.
Gilgamesh looked towards the side of the coffin.
They were the descendants of the dead who were about to be sent to the earth. They were crying and couldn't bear to look at the elders who were about to return to the underworld.
The name of this man who died due to aging and injuries was
Adkart.
In his early years, King Gilgamesh of Uruk, together with the hero Ananu, established a team to protect the city-state from monsters and bandits. Its name was——
army.
And Adkart is the first general of the army, the first in human history——
General.
He is not a hero in mythology, but a general who belongs to mankind only, and now he is about to die because of mankind's troubles.
Standing behind Gilgamesh, among the people in strange clothes, a woman sighed softly.
Gilgamesh took a step forward, looked at Adkart's gray and old face, and shook his head silently.
"Now--"
He spoke, wanting to get the funeral going.
The current Uruk is already in a period of low morale. The death of Adkart at this juncture will undoubtedly be a further blow to morale.
But even so, Gilgamesh would still give this old warrior who had fought for Uruk a decent burial.
After all, what happens next
Gilgamesh's expression darkened involuntarily.
Buzz——
Just when Gilgamesh said two words, a change occurred.
In the eyes of everyone, including Gilgamesh, who were a little dazed, a summoning circle appeared out of thin air.
Directly above Adkart's body.
Gilgamesh:?
People in fancy clothes:? ?
Descendants of Adkart:? ? ?
Buzz——
But the summoning array will not stop because of everyone's doubts.
"Quickly evacuate the people, don't cause any accidents."
Gilgamesh reacted quickly and gave orders to the people in strange clothes behind him.
He knew what kind of scene this was, it was a summoning formation belonging to the servants.
This era has become a singularity, and Gilgamesh is aware of this fact. If there is a singularity, the inhibitory force will always try to put servants into the singularity, which is the so-called independent summoning.
But why does this summoning array appear here?
Gilgamesh was confused and wary, the slate in his hand had been opened, and he was staring closely at the summoning formation.
The magic power is still gathering, and the summoning process has not been interrupted. The figure of the servant has vaguely appeared above the summoning array.
It was a tall male figure.
What exactly it is.
Um?
Gilgamesh was completely stunned.
Not only Gilgamesh was stunned, but the descendants of Adkart, who were protected by people in strange clothes, were also stunned.
Because the servant who had revealed his true face and suddenly appeared on top of Adkart's body was none other than
Adkart himself.
"well?"
Adkart, who had become a Servant and returned to his prime state, looked around with a blank look on his face.
what's the situation?
"King, I am willing to sign a contract as a servant."
Adkart knelt before King Gilgamesh and accepted the servant's contract.
Gilgamesh nodded, then sighed.
"Tell me why you were summoned, but you were summoned from your own body."
There was a dumbfounded expression on his face.
The main thing is Adkart's independent summons, which is really effective in the show.
This was the first time for Gilgamesh to see, or even hear about, someone emerging from his own body and becoming a servant.
Just outrageous.
"This is a blessing, King." Adkart's expression was very free and easy. "In this way, I can finally be of some use in this disaster."
About half a year ago, Gilgamesh saw everything that would happen now with his own eyes. Of course, he might have seen it earlier. Then, Gilgamesh ordered him to lead the army to build a new Warcraft front.
Adkart had started building a Warcraft front in the past. The enemy he had to deal with at that time was the Bull of Heaven, but this time.
Adkart didn't know, but he trusted Wang's eyes.
At that time, his body was still relatively strong. Although he was over sixty years old, he was still able to carry the huge animal bone spear and lead the cubs under him to the battlefield.
However, just two months ago, Adkart's physical condition took a turn for the worse. In almost a day, he went from being able to carry a gun and ride a horse to being unable to even go to the ground.
He is too old. He has fought for many years and has suffered too many injuries and illnesses. This is a natural law and cannot be stopped.
Finally, this morning, Adkart, the first general of Uruk, finally relieved his burden and could return to the underworld. However...
But this situation occurred.
Adkart died in the morning and was summoned as a servant at noon.
Well. Judging from what Mesopotamia will face next, this is indeed a blessing, that is.
The ones Gilgamesh felt most uncomfortable with were probably the descendants of Adkart.
"It is indeed a great blessing that we can continue to work together." Among the group of people in strange clothes beside Gilgamesh, a woman wearing strange shoes showed a kind smile to Adkart, "After all, how to fight against the monsters , General Adkart is the most qualified senior."
"Well, we will be working together for the next time, Mr. Ushiwakamaru." Adkart nodded gently at the man, extremely calm.
"Since you have been summoned as a servant, Adkart, you should go and meet your descendants first, and then continue to preside over the construction of the Warcraft Front." Gilgamesh waved his hand, "Siduri, you go Make some arrangements and arrange for someone to find Nan She Shen."
"Yes, I understand."
Siduli stood up with a smile, bowed, and then retreated with Adkart.
She looks much more mature than before.
Gilgamesh watched Siduri retreat and sighed.
He glanced up involuntarily.
The sky was overcast, without a trace of sunlight.
As if he felt uncomfortable sitting down, he stood up again, walked out of the palace, stood on a high platform, and looked down at the city, just like before.
I don’t know when the dullness has enveloped the city again.
However, this time, it was not because of himself, the king.
