Dragon of the Root

Chapter 932: Long Lost Uruk

After Ishtar made a lot of noise because of Wu Ming, the four of them also returned to the nearby camp.

This is a place close to a defensive barrier. Even though it hasn't collapsed yet, many barriers are already in a state of being about to collapse. However it can be used temporarily after a temporary fix. Not only that, the soldiers were also under Ushiwakamaru's command, tent-like temporary shelters were also set up adjacent to the defensive barrier.

"Oh, oh, you came back safely, I knew nothing would happen." Merlin came out of the tent first to greet everyone.

"Looks like you guys were a bit noisy just now, but I didn't come out self-conscious."

If Merlin also interfered, the situation would become even more serious.

"It's just that the joke is a bit too serious, and one can't accept it," Wu Ming said, and glanced at Ishtar.

"Huh!" Ishtar snorted and turned to the side after realizing Wu Ming's eyes were on her.

Gudako and Mashu smiled helplessly and embarrassedly when they saw this scene.

"In short, the two people who went deep into the underworld have returned safely. Even though the Demon Beast commander Basmu fled, the other Demon Beast commander, Ugallu was killed in the underworld for provoking the goddess of the underworld."

Mashu started his report and showed a smile.

"The Demon Beast Commander escaped, but our end result was zero casualties. There's no better outcome than this."

Indeed, let alone the number of enemies killed, the most important thing was their own casualties.

Demon Beasts are not rushing into the barrier here. The collapse of the barrier was completely Ishtar's result of Noble Phantasm. Therefore, the soldiers did not suffer casualties, and it goes without saying that Gudako and others killed and chased the Demon Beasts.

It was all done by Ishtar and Wu Ming, and it was just that Ishtar was almost attacked by Basmu when she finally flew, but because of Wu Ming's words made Ishtar alert, for Basmu's sneak attack to fail. Even though Basmu ran away, which made Wu Ming very displeased.

"And the land here has also caused a large-scale decline due to Ishtar's Noble Phantasm, which is directly connected to the underworld. Even if the Demon Beast wants to come, it will have to take a detour," added Wu Ming.

It can be said that this is undoubtedly a man-made trench.

"In other words, can there be no defensive facilities here?" Gudako expressed his opinion on this.

"Nonetheless, a decision can only be made after consulting King Gilgamesh." Ushiwakamaru who came from the camp behind the crowd, expressed his opinion.

"Why don't you talk about it in the tent, and let the returned Dragon Sage rest well." Ushiwakamaru pointed to the tent not far behind.

Wu Ming shook his head and refused.

"I'm not tired, and the reason why I'm speaking here is just to keep up with the trends."

After all, they are almost all together, so if there is something, they will just stand here and talk about it, and it is only a brief summary, and there is no need to sit down for a formal discussion.

"And I really have to ask Gil for directions, and I have something to report, and I'll be right back in Uruk."

Gudako was dumbfounded when she heard Wu Ming's words.

"Then what should we do?"

Gudako and the others had originally received the first order given to them by King Gilgamesh to go to the dense forest in the southwest to help the Feathered Serpent God, but they were kidnapped by Wu Ming to the northwest without even seeing the Feathered Serpent God's face near Mount Ebih located right across from Mesopotamia.

The first order is a mess, don't talk about it, Gudako and others can't stay here, even if they don't go to Uruk with Wu Ming, they have to return to the dense forest in the southwest and most importantly, Anna is still around.

"Vero senpai, why don't you send us back to the forest." Mashu felt that since Ishtar had already joined the team, it would be best for them to go back and meet with Anna.

"I won't leave you here. Come back to Uruk with me."

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Ishtar.

"You also came back to Uruk with us to meet Gil."

Ishtar was taken aback.

"Ahhhh!?!?"

...

In the city of Uruk, near the corner of an uninhabited tower, black and purple ripples suddenly appeared, Wu Ming and Gudako, Mashu, Anna, Merlin, and Ishtar who were very reluctant but dared not speak stepped out of there.

Even though Ishtar was very reluctant, Wu Ming ordered Ishtar to follow him saying, "We should consult Gilgamesh to discuss the crusade against the Demon Beasts."

Even though the price was that Ishtar had verbally assaulted Wu Ming along the way...

After that, Wu Ming who arrived in the dense forest in the southwest, was alone with Ishtar for a while. With Gudako and the others not knowing what had happened, Ishtar who had returned to the team, became much more obedient.

After that, Wu Ming found Anna, but because she still didn't see the Feathered Serpent God, Wu Ming left a message and returned to Uruk with five people using the Gate.

"Ohhhh We reached our goal in an instant!!" exclaimed Gudako in amazement.

"No matter when I look at it, Vero senpai's abilities are extraordinary." Mashu looked like she was never bored.

"Zila zila That is, every time you enter this strange space, the relationship between Chaldea and you will become abnormal Zila zila" Roman's voice was accompanied by an abnormal signal. A hissing sound came out of Gudako's bracelet together.

"Vero's abilities may differ from spatial Magecraft and Transfer Magecraft, another alternative Magecraft method that non-humans can use. It's normal if Chaldea can't detect it." Even Merlin himself didn't understand Wu Ming's methods, and he had already asked.

"Being able to quickly prepare to reach that goal is better than anything." Anna sighed, looking a little tired.

This is also something that cannot be avoided. Obviously she was only going to help. After a long journey into the dense forest of the southwest, she was left behind and became a person, even though asked her to...

After that, before seeing the Feathered Serpent God, and without doing anything useful, she was picked up by the returning Wu Ming and others, and headed straight back to Uruk.

It would be unpleasant for anyone to do so.

"Well~ Anna, don't be sad, coming back to Uruk means you can have a nice butter cake for dinner~"

Merlin who thought he was smiling like a good older brother, looked at Anna like a kidnapper, which made Gudako and Mashu couldn't help but restrain Anna and watch Merlin warily.

"You look suspicious, Merlin."

"Merlin, please respect yourself."

Like parents protecting their own children, the two of them sneered at Merlin with disdain.

This made Merlin feel very hurt...

"You're out of favor, Merlin." Wu Ming also teased him.

"Nah~" Merlin didn't know what to say, so he couldn't help but smile and shrug.

After that, after being silent for a few seconds, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"It's very important to be able to maintain a happy mood in the singularity, but don't always bully Merlin, because I always have feelings of empathy..."

This is a Roman speech that is in Chaldea and has almost all negative titles such as pessimistic, soft-legged shrimp that can't see the atmosphere, cowardice and so on by a large number of Servants.

"What's with the soft-legged, shrimp-like speech that doesn't see the mood!" Ishtar spoke a rare sentence.

After all, Ishtar, who had been "guided" by Wu Ming, didn't speak anymore, or didn't dare to speak, but she was still not happy when she spoke.

"What happened to the tent? No tents in Mesopotamia before I left?" Wu Ming suddenly remembered the temporary residence built by Ushiwakamaru's soldiers in the Military Camp.

After all Mesopotamia used clay to make houses, and the materials and fabrics needed for tents were inherently scarce resources, but if Gilgamesh wanted to, he could certainly "invent" such a thing.

But even if there were, most of the tents were replaced with sheepskin, but that was a bit extravagant and probably didn't meet the needs, so tents never existed in Mesopotamia.

"I heard that it was an invention brought by the military advisor Zhuge Kongming." Mashu had heard something about this, and heard rumors from some that it was "donated by the king's military adviser."

"Meaning that Zhuge Kongming's dominant consciousness is El-Melloi II?" Gudako was dumbfounded, the other party brought items that didn't exist in this era, so why couldn't she judge the other party's details beforehand?

"No, it's hard to say. There was also a tent during the Three Kingdoms period where Zhuge Kongming was. After all soldiers also need to be placed in the ranks." Wu Ming thought of such a possibility.

"If we think about it carefully, it really doesn't look like a modern tent or anything." Mashu nodded.

Moreover, in Mashu's view, whether it is El-Melloi II's dominant consciousness or Zhuge Kongming's dominant consciousness, both can do this.

After all, no matter who dominates the consciousness, both of them have knowledge of the camping tent, and both of them can use their work skills to create a comfortable living place like a camping tent.

It is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish. After the samples were made, the construction methods were left to the army, and then only the materials needed for mass production were made.

"What are the details of that person~~ Merlin should know~ What a disappointment he didn't tell us~~" Gudako cried sadly and looked at Merlin with complaining eyes.

After all, if Merlin was telling the truth, people wouldn't really care.

"Hahaha~ Don't worry, it's best to find out by yourself, and you two can meet up soon, so don't be in a hurry~" Merlin was still mischievous.

"Sure enough, Merlin really is evil." As expected of Anna, her words were still very sharp.

As if ignoring Roman, a few people chatted and walked slowly towards the tower.

Only Roman was in Chaldea, who had an expression that couldn't be revived.

"I was completely ignored..."

After that, Da Vinci who was drinking coffee smiled helplessly.

"Wake up Romani, you should eat your own fruit."

Although the smile in Da Vinci's eyes almost overflowed.

"Yes..."

And when Roman was comforted by Da Vinci, because the Gate was very close to the tower, Wu Ming had already stepped into the tower.

The soldiers encountered along the way all showed surprise and respect for Wu Ming and Ishtar, but after seeing the two people with Chaldea, they were worried that it would delay the other party's important business, so the soldiers didn't say anything to Wu Ming and Ishtar.

Yet they obediently retreated only after bowing respectfully to Wu Ming and Ishtar.

"Sure enough, Assassins are very popular in Uruk as godly dragons~" After the other warriors quietly retreated, Gudako suddenly said.

"After all, I am a Dragon Sage, and I am completely different from Ishtar when I was a god. I always take care of humans."

"It seems that's true" Mashu recalled the situation just now. The soldiers had great respect for Wu Ming and Ishtar, but the soldiers looked at them differently.

They respected Wu Ming from the bottom of their hearts, and thanked them from the bottom of their hearts, and when the soldiers looked at Ishtar, it was as if they were looking at high and untouchable gods, although the two respected each other, but it was not the same.

"Ahem But I can see that the soldiers of Uruk respect you too, Ishtar." This is what Mashu immediately added after being pushed by Gudako.

However this could not hide the fact that even Ishtar had to admit it, but this fact had angered her.

"What is it? I don't need their respect anyway. Humans only need to offer me gems and gold, hum!" said Ishtar quickening her own pace, moving towards the top. Go to the room where Gilgamesh is doing business.

"Don't worry about him, leave him alone for a while, let's go, the front is where Gil handles things. According to the current world situation, he should stay there the entire time."

When they came to the gate at the top of the tower, they were shocked when they saw the gatekeepers Wu Ming and Ishtar, and immediately knelt down respectfully.

"Lord Dragon Sage! Goddess Ishtar! Welcome back to Uruk!"

Wu Ming had indeed left because of his fight with the Gorgons, while Ishtar was completely out of Uruk because he was running around all day and couldn't be a good city god.

Long story short, both are indeed called "welcome back".

"The king is inside." Wu Ming asked the two standing soldiers.

"Yes, Lord Dragon Sage, King Gilgamesh is handling business, and Miss Siduri and Benkei are also inside."

This is just a routine investigation, because the gate is very large, and Wu Ming has seen the situation inside.

Gilgamesh sat on the throne, continued to pick up and put down the slate, and quickly took care of the business, while Siduri stood by Gilgamesh's side to help with the recording. As for Musashibo Benkei, he stood waiting quietly with his eyes closed.

"Let's go."

Wu Ming said, and took the lead in walking to the highest part of the tower, where Gilgamesh was handling government affairs.
