Two Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Four, Why Not Give It a Try?
Uruk, Chaldean embassy.
After returning here, Luo Zhen and Matthew solved the problem of food and clothing a little bit, and then they were ready to set off.
Gilgamesh has issued a pass, allowing Rozen and Matthew to freely enter and leave Uruk and go to the city of Kusa.
Therefore, Luo Zhen and Matthew are ready to set off and go to the underworld immediately.
Anna and Merlin followed.
However, the two couldn't go with them.
"After all, we are heroic spirits, not human beings, let alone living beings. Even if we go to the underworld, we will not be able to help you, and may even delay you, so this time you can only go by yourself."
Merlin said such words helplessly, causing Fufu standing on his shoulder to scream twice.
"Sorry, I can't help you guys."
Anna also made such a sound full of apology and guilt.
"Don't mind, Miss Anna, and Mr. Merlin, you have already helped us a lot."
Matthew quickly comforted her.
Rozen also shrugged.
"To be honest, I'm also a little bit hung up this time." Luo Zhen said to Merlin and Anna: "In a place like the underworld, I don't have much power left and I don't know how far I can use it."
Who made the underworld a place where all the gods can be rendered powerless?
In such a place, even the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit might be useless, right?
What's more, if even heroic spirits are interfered by the laws of the underworld, then neither Matthew nor Attila may be able to exert their power and deal with Ereshkigal.
In addition, Luo Zhen is still recovering, this trip to the underworld is also dangerous for Luo Zhen.
Therefore, Luo Zhen is also taking a risk, not taking this trip to the underworld with full confidence.
And even Luo Zhen himself is like this, so he naturally has no right to say anything about others.
Merlin also touched his chin.
"The underworld is the realm of the dead,
Even my
So said the great magician of Britain.
but...
"Since the opponent is Ereshkigal, maybe you can find a helper, maybe she can help you."
Merlin said those words.
"helper?"
Matthew couldn't help but startled.
"Helper?" Luo Zhen frowned, and said with a smile: "Do you think she will help me?"
Obviously, Luo Zhen knew who the person Merlin mentioned was.
It is because of knowing that Luo Zhen finds it difficult to talk about it.
"Who knows?" Merlin smiled meaningfully, and said, "Maybe it can be done. Anyway, the city of Kusa you are going to is that person's territory. It is very likely that you will meet him directly. Why not?" Give it a try?"
Hearing this, Luo Zhen rolled his eyes.
This unreliable guy really does not hurt his back while standing and talking.
Luo Zhen knew that asking the other party to help him go to the underworld would definitely be more uncomfortable than killing the other party.
However, Luo Zhen didn't say anything.
If you can meet each other, it's good to try.
I just don't know if the other party knows that Ereshkigal has also appeared in the world.
If you know, the other party's expression will be very exciting, right?
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen smiled.
"I'll try my best." Luo Zhen gave such a response, then looked at Merlin and Anna, and said: "I leave this to you, if there is anything, just tell the familiars in Uruk, they will Cooperate with you obediently, and at the same time tell me what's going on here through telepathy."
"Understood." Merlin nodded, and nodded Fufu's head on his shoulder, and said, "I will take care of this beast for you for the time being."
Hearing Merlin's words, Fufu yelled and shook her head. Instead of accepting it, she jumped in Mash's direction, kicked her face, turned to her shoulder, and told everyone with actions that it Who do you want to follow.
"Do you want to go to the underworld with Luo Zhen and Matthew?"
Anna asked in surprise.
"Fu!"
Fu Fu raised her head and nodded, feeling like she wanted to share the joys and sorrows with Luo Zhen and Mash.
"You traitor, I've never seen you worry about me so much before."
Merlin said puzzledly.
"Fu! Fuwu!"
Fufu, however, looked at Merlin with contempt, as if to say, "I worry about you because I'm full and have nothing to do?"
The Chaldean mascot's resentment towards Merlin was still as great.
"Thank you, Fufu."
Matthew tapped Fufu's cheek, with a smile on her face.
Luo Zhen did not object to Fufu's following.
Now that it is known that Fufu is the magic cat in the legend of King Arthur, then, perhaps, this little guy can still come in handy in unexpected places.
"Then we're leaving."
Luo Zhen said goodbye to Merlin and Anna.
The two nodded heavily.
"See you later, Miss Anna, Mr. Merlin."
Matthew also bowed to say goodbye.
Afterwards, Luo Zhen and Matthew took Fufu together, left the embassy and headed towards the north gate.
Merlin and Anna stood at the door, watching their departure.
"Are you worried?"
When it was almost impossible to see the backs of Luo Zhen and Matthew, Merlin suddenly asked this question.
The object of questioning was naturally Anna.
"...a bit." Anna originally wanted to deny it, but seeing Merlin's smiling expression, she knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she said reluctantly: "In a place like the underworld, even if they all There’s a possibility of never coming back, so I really want to stop them.”
"Oh?" Merlin didn't expect Anna to say that, and said in surprise: "It seems that you get along well with them these days, no, it should be said that you get along well with Mr. Lorelei, right?"
"...What does this mean?" Anna said unhappily, "Are you making fun of me?"
"How could it be?" Merlin quickly waved his hands and shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "It's just that you, who claim to hate humans, are so interested in them, so I'm just curious."
"What about Merlin?" Anna looked at Merlin and said, "Didn't Merlin once say that although he is half human, he is not actually a human, but a half-demon, so you don't care about human life or death?" Do you care?"
"Yes." Merlin nodded calmly, and said, "I really don't really care about the life and death of individual human beings, but if it's the life and death of all human beings, it's a different matter."
After all, Merlin is a succubus, and needs to eat human dreams to grow and survive.
If man perishes, he presumably will perish too.
In addition, Merlin actually likes the history and human principles depicted by human beings, and he still cares about the survival of all human beings.
"And that person symbolizes the hope of all mankind. Isn't it natural that I pay attention to him?"
Merlin acted according to this theory.
"And why did you change your attitude towards Lorelai-kun?"
Merlin asked both curiously and probingly.
Anna was silent for a long time.
Then...
"Because he is the first person who loves me and understands me besides my sisters."
Leaving such words behind, Anna turned around and went back to the embassy.
Merlin looked at this scene, smiled, and returned to the museum as well.
