I'm really not an old sword

"Why?"

"You don't want the aftermath of the battle to kill innocent people in the city, do you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was silent.

Anna's mind flashed to the image of the security guard who had given her biscuits at the city gate, and she put down her sickle with an intention.

"careful!"

Merlin was suddenly born as a reminder.

Anna was shocked when she heard this and subconsciously raised her sickle, but it was too late.

Lin Qingsu suddenly appeared in front of her and kicked her hard in the chest.

'Boom! '

The girl's petite body was kicked into the air and hit the steps leading to the temple.

The entire temple was shaken twice.

Lin Qingsu grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had no time to react, but as soon as she grabbed the other's neck, Lin Qingsu couldn't help frowning, and then exerted force with her hand.

The Fujimaru Ritsuka in his hand turned into a point of light and disappeared.

Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared a few dozen meters away, at the foot of the temple, with a look of shock on his face.

This is why he didn't go after Fujimaru Ritsuka.

With Merlin's protection, it would be difficult for him to kill Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Joan of Arc finally reacted. Although she still didn't know why and didn't want to be an enemy of Lin Qingsu, the other party had already taken action. Even if he was Lin Qingsu, she couldn't just watch him kill Fujimaru Ritsuka.

He stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka with weapon in hand.

Lin Qingsu didn't attack the troubled Jeanne. Instead, she turned to look at Merlin and asked seriously, "Merlin, when are you going to die?"

Merlin smiled awkwardly, but his figure quickly retreated to a safe distance and hid behind Fujimaru Ritsuka again.

Lin Qingsu ignored the people who looked wary and looked up at the temple.

"Aren't you coming out yet, Gilgamesh?"

Chapter 2: Proposal to Ereshkigal

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the green grass plain.

It's really boring to travel.

Looking at Lin Qingsu's back, Maeve's body became hot again. Biting her lower lip, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, was your original intention to find Gilgamesh to fight?"

"Ah."

Although she had some guesses, Maeve still asked, "Why?"

Not only Maeve, Lin Qingsu was also a little bored, so when faced with Maeve's deliberate questions, she simply answered them patiently.

"I just want to prove my existence to the citizens of Uruk."

It was a foregone conclusion that Gilgamesh would not cooperate with him.

But if possible, Lin Qingsu doesn't want to kill all the remaining humans in this world. As long as they are not his enemies, he will try his best to help them.

The most important thing that made the citizens of Uruk think of turning to him when they were desperate was to prove his strength.

And the best proof of this is the fight with Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk.

Gilgamesh knew this too.

So, Gilgamesh looked very angry just now, but when they were fighting outside the city, both of them actually held back. They tested each other for a long time, and the fight was quite big, but in fact, neither side was serious.

The two of them were just acting out a scene in tacit understanding.

Lin Qingsu knew that Gilgamesh and Merlin were protecting the unkillable Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Gilgamesh couldn't tell who would win or lose.

It was fine for him, but he still had some kindness towards the people who took refuge in him. Although it was different from Lin Qingsu's opinion, if he died, those people would still have a place to go.

"Your Majesty is such a good man." Maeve couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Qingsu stopped and looked at her.

Maeve tilted her head with a cute look of a curious baby, as if she didn't understand why Lin Qingsu looked at her like that.

Lin Qingsu had a headache for a moment.

Maeve absolutely did it knowingly.

But he didn't know how to "punish" her.

Corporal punishment like squats?

At first, Maeve was obedient and did a few of them, but later she was too tired to do them at all, and he couldn't do anything about it.

He couldn't really do anything else to her as a real punishment.

If it was something like spanking, Lin Qingsu felt that it might be a reward for her and she absolutely couldn't do it, otherwise Maeve might get even worse and keep teasing him and dancing beyond his limits.

"That's it."

Lin Qingsu simply stopped and looked at the surrounding terrain for a while.

Behind him was an endless plain.

Ahead is a river that is more than ten meters wide and has no end in sight.

On the left is a lush forest that grows along the river.

At the end of the right view, there is a bald mountain towering into the clouds.

Maeve pursed her lips, obviously dissatisfied with Lin Qingsu's method of changing the subject, but she still knew what was important.

Normally, he wouldn't mind joking around with Lin Qingsu or teasing him;

But if she did something she shouldn't do while doing serious work, Lin Qingsu would definitely be really angry.

So, Maeve obediently walked to the river, picked up the whip and whipped the ground a few times, sending up several streaks of mud from the wet land soaked by the drinking water.

Piece after piece of soil continued to change in the air, and when they fell to the ground, they turned into tall Celtic warriors.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred Celtic warriors appeared on the plain.

Maeve's pretty face was pale and she was shaky with her magic power exhausted, but she still pointed her whip at the woods with great momentum.

"Build a city here."

"Yes, Your Lady Queen."

After all the Celtic warriors left, Maeve returned to her sweet and well-behaved appearance, looking up at Lin Qingsu.

'How am I doing?'

This was revealed in his tired eyes.

Even though Lin Qingsu didn't want to respond to her.

But looking at her pale face and shaky body gave me a headache.

I know she is deliberately using up all her magic power.

But, then again...

"Well done."

Lin Qingsu paused and added, painting a big picture for her.

"When it's over, the world will be yours to rule, and you can do whatever you want."

Maeve's expression darkened and she forced a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fortunately, Lin Qingsu has rich training experience at the Meili School of Acting and the Guinevere School of Drama.

Calm.

"I have something to take care of, so I'll leave this to you."

"You must be careful!"

Maeve stood quietly there, watching Lin Qingsu's receding back.

Until the figure is so small that only a black dot can be seen.

The worried and reluctant expression on Maeve's face faded a little, and turned into shame, anger and unwillingness. Finally, all the emotions in her eyes turned into determination.

"I don't believe I can't take you down!"

......

Lin Qingsu stopped after running wildly on the plain for more than ten minutes.

He chose a place with lower terrain and looked at the city of Uruk in the distance which was as small as an ant. Lin Qingsu grasped the Holy Sword of the Star with his backhand and poured magic power into the sword. When it was almost enough, he stabbed the sword at the ground in front of him.

Starlight bursts.

In the blink of an eye, a bottomless pit with a radius of more than two meters appeared under my feet.

Lin Qingsu jumped down with a leap.

The body was in free fall, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Lin Qingsu's vision went from the initial discomfort to getting used to the darkness.

Soon the darkness around suddenly changed, turning into stone bridges with dim light.

Countless blue ghost fires were confined in cages one after another.

"found it."

With the wind element wrapped around her body, Lin Qingsu floated to a stone bridge, stepped on the ground and looked at the ghost fires around her.

Lin Qingsu couldn't help but smile.

It is definitely impossible for him to fight the three goddesses.

With his strength, he could only defeat Ishtar, whose combat power was greatly reduced after she lost the "Bull of Heaven".

As for the other goddesses, his only chance of winning is to stand on the right side against them.

Lin Qingsu has never fully unlocked the Holy Sword of Stars, and he is not sure whether he can defeat a goddess with an authentic priesthood after fully unlocking the Holy Sword of Stars with his current strength.

So the most urgent task is to pull one to beat a group.

The Warcraft Goddess, also known as Gorgon, is now equivalent to a madman, and there is no point in talking about it;

To put it nicely, Quetzalcoatl is a man of temperament, to put it bluntly, he is a lunatic whose brain circuits cannot think with common sense. The Gorgon is crazy, but at least he has his own basic logic, while Quetzalcoatl is completely incomprehensible.

Even though Lin Qingsu had read the original novel, she still didn't know what it was that moved Fujimaru Ritsuka to her.

When it comes to fighting, Lin Qingsu really doesn't want to get hurt.

After much deliberation, he could only sigh, "The protagonist's aura is terrifying." Then he changed his target.

The goddess Ishtar is easy to deal with. She is greedy for money. If you give her enough money and make her like you, it will be easy to deceive her.

This problem would be very simple if it happened somewhere else.

First, the goddess Ishtar used the body of Rin Tousaka. Although it is not certain whether she has any connection with the Rin Tousaka that she knows, she will probably not hate her.

Second, money is just a number to him.

But in this world, when it comes to money, he, who has no logistics, is definitely no match for King Gilgamesh, who in his early years had all the wealth and beauties in the world. And with Ereshkigal as an example, there is naturally no need for him to go to Ishtar and humiliate himself.

Ereshkigal is not easy to deal with.

After merging with Toosaka Rin, her twisted personality was neutralized and she became a child who completely lacked love. As long as you enter the underworld, walk up to her and say that you are willing to be her friend, she will be obedient.

The only problem facing Lin Qingsu is.

How to enter the underworld in Mesopotamian mythology?

In the original book, Ishtar has already given the answer - dig a big pit underground, deep enough to enter their underworld.

But then again, where exactly should the pit be located?

After all, in the original book, Ereshkigal dug the underworld for a long time in order to take revenge on Gilgamesh, and finally moved the underworld under the city of Uruk. This also indirectly shows that the underworld in Mesopotamia is not vast and boundless, and you can't just dig a hole and enter it, but you have to choose the right location.
