Two Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Three, the Decision to Go to the Underworld
I don't know how long it took, the necromantic monsters that invaded Uruk were finally annihilated, and those who were expelled were expelled, so that Uruk regained its peace.
Because of the retreat of the two ceremonies, Luo Zhen and his party can join the battle, and Gilgamesh has already prepared for this before, providing the means to deal with the monsters of the necromantic system, Uruk can solve this problem smoothly times of invasion.
Fortunately, the necromantic monsters that invaded Uruk are all of the type that wins by numbers. If there are Ugal and Bashumu in the northern monsters or pterosaurs in the southern army in the opponent's camp, then , this time the crisis is not easy to solve.
Therefore, this time the crisis can be regarded as a near miss, and passed through safely.
However, it's not completely free of cost.
Even if Gilgamesh has ordered the citizens not to go out and try not to reveal the aura of the living, so as not to attract the attention of necromantic monsters, but people should not reveal the aura of the living, so what? How can it be done?
The citizens of Uruk are just ordinary humans, not magicians, or even warriors. Even if they want to restrain their breath, it's not something that can be done, right?
Therefore, there is finally a sacrifice in Uruk.
This time, a total of 824 people were attacked by necromantic monsters. After being injured and weakened, their souls were directly taken away by the Galura Spirit.
Including the 113 people who appeared before, nearly a thousand victims appeared in Uruk in the past two days, and their souls were taken into the underworld and fell into an eternal sleep.
This is not something to joke about.
How many people are there in Uruk?
Such a sacrifice rate has occurred in just two days, and the matter has not been resolved. This is definitely a major problem that cannot be ignored.
After the intrusion of the necromancer monsters, the aroma of death shrouded in Uruk became more intense, causing many physical weakness to appear in Uruk.
If this continues, more and more people's souls will be taken to the underworld.
"It seems that we have to find a way to solve the matter of the goddess of the underworld first."
On this day, Luo Zhen and others were summoned by Siduri to the royal hall of the tower, and Gilgamesh who was sitting on the throne raised such a topic without saying a word.
Matthew and Anna were stunned.
Merlin, on the other hand, was dozing off because of rushing to work all night yesterday and setting up a new barrier, and was slapped by Fufu who was standing on his shoulder.
Only Luo Zhen sighed as if he had expected to become like this.
Because, it means one thing.
"You want us to go down to the underworld to find Ereshkigal, right? King Gilgamesh?"
Rozen revealed Gilgamesh's calculations.
"That's right." Gilgamesh didn't mean to hide anything, and said very directly: "Ereshkigal will not go out of the underworld. If you want to solve her problem, you have to go to the underworld. , plus you are the only ones who are capable enough to deal with the goddess, so there is no other way."
Gilgamesh has said so much, and it is conceivable that there is really no other way.
Luo Zhen has no objection.
After all, Chaldea and Uruk are originally on the same side. If Uruk is destroyed, human history will be over. The purpose of both parties is to preserve human beings and Uruk. Alliance> fight directly.
That being the case, Luo Zhen had to run this trip out of emotion and reason.
only...
"Really... really want to go to the underworld?"
"That's the underworld, huh?"
"Is it really okay to go to the underworld even though you are a living person?"
From the communicator on Luo Zhen's wrist, the worrying voices of the Chaldeans came out one after another.
There is no way, it is really this matter, even Chaldea, who claims to be able to transfer spirit sons to any era, feels a little uneasy.
You know, the so-called underworld is a place where only the dead can enter, which is equivalent to Sumer’s hell or Huangquan. Even in the Age of Gods, the underworld is just a world located underground, but that doesn’t change its identity as the world of the dead. fact.
Going to that kind of place, it is very likely that you will never return, never return to the ground, and even lose your life altogether, from the living to the dead, dying, the gain outweighs the loss.
The former Ishtar is a living example. This great goddess with a high self-esteem brought a lot of power to force her way into the underworld, and didn't she end up being cut into pieces in the end?
Therefore, in this era, even if the underworld belongs to the category of the underground world, it is almost impossible for people who enter the underworld to return.
And those who can come back will eventually become heroes that people talk about.
For example, the king of Uruk sitting on the throne is a living example.
Only this king dared to say that.
"It's just a mere underworld. With your abilities, you shouldn't be able to go and never return, right?"
Gilgamesh said so.
"I don't expect you to bring back the souls of the victims and resurrect them, but at least let Ereshkigal take back the fragrance of death and the spirit of Galura."
This is already difficult to do, right?
The other party has come here to kill and seduce the soul. It is not easy to ask the other party to take back the fragrance of death and the spirit of Galura?
Compared to doing this, it would be easier to knock down the opponent directly.
Although Ereshkigal in the underworld is an invincible existence, no god or heroic spirit can disobey her, but there is only one existence that is an exception.
That is the living.
Only those who have life can resist the law of the realm of the dead.
Therefore, if Luo Zhen went to the underworld as a living person, then Ereshkigal's invincibility would not be able to be displayed. This is also the reason why the living who enter the underworld will basically lose their lives, except that it is not where the living should enter Besides the forbidden area, there is another reason, that is, they cannot be allowed to threaten the god of the underworld.
Of course, even if she is not invincible, Ereshkigal is still a goddess. Even if her divinity and power are only at the middle level, it is not something ordinary humans can handle.
In view of this, Gilgamesh said that the abilities of Rozen and others should be enough to deal with the goddess.
"How? Do you accept this entrustment?"
Gilgamesh still asked this question.
But at this time, the words of the two rituals flashed through Luo Zhen's mind.
"If you really want to solve the problem of the
"That goddess who has been forcing herself should need you."
Thinking of these words, Luo Zhen pondered for a while before making a decision.
