[Comprehensive] Dress GO!

As a result, one person and one couple followed for a whole day.

Enkidu didn't care, Fujimaru Tatsuka was so hungry that his eyes were dizzy, and he kept taking two Valentine's Day chocolates to eat, anyway, the magic power recovered quickly in the Age of Gods.

The dresses he can't use are lower than the mystery of the Age of Gods, that is, magic props and magic created after Sumer, so the pictures of the dresses in the book are almost half blacked out.

The second is the costume that can be used to summon servants. Although according to the theory that in the seventh singularity, Gilgamesh in the wise period summoned Merlin who was born later, Fujimaru Tachika can summon servants. Servants will also be stronger without any nerfs.

But the strong magic power in the air is a double-edged sword. Fujimaru Tachika serves as a transfer station to connect the magic power of the earth and provide magic power to the followers. After summoning the servants, he will not experience magic power overdraft, but will overload the magic power.

Judging from the flow rate at which the consumption of the two chocolates he shot was quickly replenished, it is very likely that just after the servant appeared, he would be overwhelmed by too much magic power added at one time.

He is now in the state of a soul, how can he live if his soul is blown up... and this self-explosion is meaningless, so half of the dress in the book is black again.

Finally, picking and choosing from the remaining costumes, Tatsuka Fujimaru perfectly came to the conclusion that she would not starve to death, and then calmly said "Yes, I am super weak" to Shahat.

"Since the future human beings will have such great wisdom in food, I am very surprised." Enkidu stuffed dragon steak and high-quality wagashi into his mouth, and exclaimed in admiration.

Fujimaru Tachika's actions were not inferior, "So you follow me so wholeheartedly to eat!"

Compared with their lavish picnic boxes, the army in the distance has a harder time.

The sea of ​​trees is hot and humid, and without Enkidu's ability to make shrubs and vines open their way spontaneously, humans can only use blunt tools polished from metal to continuously dig and open, and then it will be the same as before for thousands of years.

After walking for a day, their progress was very slow. No matter how strong the soldiers are, there is a limit, let alone the refugees who followed the army.

"what?"

Enkidu suddenly seemed to have sensed something, and raised his head.

Fujimaru Tachika: "What's wrong?"

In order not to be discovered, they followed Enkidu's perception entirely. The distance was too far and the perception was not very accurate. The puppet brought Fujimaru Tachika up to the treetops, and the two continued to observe the actions of the army through the layers of forest leaves.

An emaciated woman among the refugees fell to the ground. The soldiers decided to abandon her, but tied her to a tree branch, painted some totems on her feet, and sprinkled grass-like powder around her before leaving.

After they walked away, Fujimaru Tachika and Enki came to the woman, and found that the grass-like powder on the ground was ground many times when they were working in Shuer Park, and it was something that could confuse the sense of smell of beasts. , can avoid man-eating beasts to a certain extent.Caravans who often walk on the plains need this herbal powder.

This operation is a bit confusing in the eyes of Fujimaru Tachika.

——Is it the custom of which city-state to starve people to death while leaving people behind but not wanting her to become food for wild beasts?

After he twiddled the powder and thought for a while, Enkidu had already put the woman down from the branch, feeling her dying state.

Then Fujimaru Tachika saw him silently facing the woman, and stretched out his hand to touch the ground again. The huge natural enchantment circled up with the flow of magic power in the blink of an eye, and the thick tree branches twisted around them, and naturally Calmly form a circular shelter.

After the barrier was formed, before the puppet opened its mouth, Fujimaru Tatsuka put on a reliable expression and patted him on the shoulder.

"Go early and come back early, I'm so scared here!"

Enkidu:  …

He suddenly and subtly understood Xiahat's mood back then.

Only a puppet made by God has the strength to send this dying person back to the city. The two had to separate temporarily, leaving Tachika Fujimaru alone in the forest.

The night in the Sea of ​​Trees came early, and the enchantment left by Enkidu encircled a large area, preventing insects and beasts from entering, and it was very quiet after nightfall.

The young man who hadn't been on vigil for a long time yawned several times and fiddled with the bonfire in front of his feet. Sparks crackled, bringing a warm temperature.

When the boy's eyelids were about to close, he saw a huge skeleton suddenly appearing on the grass.

Fujimaru Rika:  …

The other party appeared before he had figured out the situation on the ground. He raised his head and looked around in a panic:

"Hey, enchantment!? Why am I in the enchantment? Can humans on the ground create this kind of enchantment, or is there a god passing by here..."

Fujimaru Tachika: "That..."

"This enchantment is amazing!"

The big skeleton had never seen the scene in front of him, and it floated to the side of the trees and circled around, and the white gauze formed by the cold air fluttered everywhere.

"It's a living thing!"

Fujimaru Tachika raised the volume: "This time I'm still behind you—"

The air was silent for a moment.

"Wow!"

The screen reappears.

"You, why are you still here!?"

Recognizing that it was Fujimaru Tachika, the big skull immediately approached him, stretched out its big paws, grabbed the boy's shoulders and looked at him carefully. After confirming that it was all right, he heaved a sigh of relief, and then took out a golden birdcage.

"?"

She hesitated and asked: "Why don't you die, it's too dangerous here!"

Fujimaru Tachika was shocked: "Wait, wait, wait...don't be impulsive!"

……

To put it bluntly, Fujimaru Tachika, who let Ereshkigal take back the birdcage temporarily, sat back in his seat.

He fiddled with the bonfire, and asked strangely: "Can the undead also come to the earth?"

In his memory, Ai Lei could only briefly appear at night with Ishtar's body. He only saw the giant skeleton that Ai Lei turned into, which was the form of Galula Spirit, when he went to the underworld to find the overworked king. , did not expect this form to appear on the ground.

As soon as he asked this question, Ereshkigal had the urge to pick up the birdcage again, and she also felt strange and said: "Obviously I took away all the human souls around this forest, but now all of a sudden except you A woman died nearby, so I used her soul that hadn't fallen into the underworld to look at the situation on the ground."

Fujimaru Tatsuka digested her words, and said in a daze, "Ah, is that woman already dead?"

The big skull tilted its head: "It died of hunger. At the foot of the mountain in the sea of ​​trees, Negal (the god of plague) left footprints there. Human life will be lost very quickly in that area."

It is estimated that Enkidu will be back soon.

Seeing Ereshkigal's question, Tachika Fujimaru told her about the army and refugees that he and Enkidu met in the forest.

The hostess of the underworld said angrily again: "The rumors of monsters in the forest have already spread, and Uruk is also fighting, why do humans still come here!"

Fujimaru Tachika: "What is the monster in the forest? Is Ishtar all right?"

The big skull shook his head: "I don't know, the soul of the dead can be my eyes, but that monster..."

She lowered her voice and was very puzzled: "As long as human beings see it, their souls will be dissolved, so I don't know what it is. The idiot Istar fought with it, but failed Alright, resurrecting in the underworld."

"Resurrected in the underworld" means that Ishtar has died. This fact made Fujimaru Tachika stand up suddenly: "Is it that serious!?"

The big skull glanced at him, and wrote lightly: "Istar? She was killed by the monster because she accidentally stuck Maanna in a tree. She has harassed me many times because of carelessness."

Fujimaru Rika:  …

He could only sit back awkwardly and politely.

It seems that there is such a stubble in the Sumerian mythology, which may be somewhat different from the reality, but Ishtar also admitted his purpose of going to the underworld when he was at the singularity.As the sister of the hostess of the underworld, she is able to regard the underworld as a place where she can come and go whenever she wants, self-willed.

It was still late at night, and the big skeleton was floating around, but planned to leave.

"After the fight with Ishtar, the monster just started to move. I will go and collect the souls of those people first. Next time I will come to you to hear the adventure story. You should let that clay puppet take you out of the forest as soon as possible. .”

For the goddess of the underworld, death is an eternal thing. Ereshkigal knows that human beings don't like death, but in order to protect the human beings she loves, she can only put their souls into her gun.

At the seventh singularity, endless monsters became the enemy of human beings. She learned that the world of Mesopotamia was coming to an end. In order to protect human beings in her own way, she joined the Alliance of Three Goddesses and became Uru grams of enemies.

"Ailey."

Fujimaru Tachika subconsciously called her to stop.

The big skeleton that was about to leave exploded, "I am not Ereshkigal! What are you talking about!?"

"Calm down, don't you, I didn't say anything just now!" Fujimaru Tachika quickly reassured, and then asked: "But if Enkidu can destroy the monsters, can you return those human souls to them?"

"How is it possible! This monster needs at least two real gods to kill, and I hate 'live' things, so I won't..."

Fujimaru Tachika said seriously: "But in that case, the human soul is just a collection for you, and the adventure story will be fixed in the picture frame before it starts. Do you like such a story? "

Ereshkigal was stopped by the question, "It seems to make sense..."

As a result, an idea came to her mind in vain—the possibility of human beings was caged by herself.

What if... humans can kill that monster?

Seeing her hesitation, Fujimaru Tatsuka laughed.

"Then let's make an agreement. If Enkidu or humans kill this monster, you will return those souls to humans!"

Big Skeleton stared at him fixedly, not knowing where his confidence came from, but after a while, she stretched out a little finger towards him.

Fujimaru Rika:  …

It's not that although Ai Lei knows some modern knowledge because of her possession, but such a big skeleton's behavior is really a bit... visually shocking.

The boy also stretched out his little finger and hooked it with the skeleton's claw.

Satisfied, Ereshkigal withdrew her hand, and suddenly saw the clay roll on Fujimaru Tatsuka's neck.

"Wait a minute, what's that hanging around your neck?"

"Ok?"

Fujimaru Tachika was taken aback, and picked up the scroll on her chest, "It was given to me by a child when I passed by a village."

There are countless Sumerian roller seals. Generally, small cylinders are made of stone or metal, and then the carved patterns are rolled on the clay board to glue continuous patterns.The little girl in the village couldn't make such a beautiful scroll, so she just squeezed one out of clay, dried it after carving, and then gave it to Fujimaru Tachika.

For the first time, the boy carefully looked at the patterns on the roll printing.

Adults would engrave their names or religious symbols on the rollers. Sumer was in the period of cuneiform writing, and the carved characters were coherent on the cylindrical rollers like geometric patterns, connected end to end, and were often referred to as tapestry art in later generations.

But the symbols that attracted the attention of Enkidu and Ereshkigal must have something special.

This rough scroll is full of curved and twisted symbols, very rare and peculiar in the Sumerian era with geometric figures and cuneiform writing.

Fujimaru Tachika held up the rolling seal and showed it to the skeleton in front of him, without thinking too much.

But Ereshkigal took a deep breath after seeing the lines on it clearly, "This symbol——"

"Why do you have this symbol!?"

Her voice fell.The white gauze formed by the cold air fluctuated like waves, and the huge skeleton suddenly lifted its body. The hostess of the underworld ignored Fujimaru Tateka's unresponsive inquiry, and her voice changed back to the horror of countless souls whispering.

"No, no, no!" She kept denying, "It can't go this way!"

Fujimaru Tachika didn't know, so: "What?"

The Galura Spirit in front of him roared, and the ground seemed to shake.

"It turns out to be like this! It turns out to be like this! It's heading in this direction! It's heading in this direction! If that's the case—"

The golden bird cage appeared in her hand again.

The goddess of the underworld held up her soul-retaining weapon, and fell towards him as if she was about to hit Fujimaru Tachika.

The girl shouted:

"You and those humans are sacrifices!"
