I'm really not an old sword

After closing the cage, Lin Qingsu began to caress Ereshkigal's tender little face.

Only then did Ereshkigal turn his gaze away from his silly sister who was making so much noise in the cage.

The corners of the eyes are sparkling.

"Thank you."

Ereshkigal smiled happily.

really.

Seeing Ereshkigal's smile, the noisy Ishtar instantly quieted down.

Look again at Ereshkigal's eyes full of happiness and love when he looks at Lin Qingsu.

I feel both happy and sad.

But Ereshkigal's next words made her furious.

"I've wanted to cage this trouble-making pesky creature for a long time."

"Who only knows how to cause trouble?!"

"You said this goddess is annoying?!"

"This goddess can only help you after your husband begged for a long time!"

"what do you mean?!"

"Explain it to me clearly!"

Ereshkigal and Ishtar were arguing over there, and Nitocris pulled Lin Qingsu aside.

"Mrs. Meili asked me to tell you to be careful."

Without Ereshkigal and Ishtar, Nitocris's expression instantly turned worried.

"They are fully prepared to get rid of you here this time."

Lin Qingsu didn't care, but asked, "Is He here?"

"Coming." Nitocris nodded.

"Then it'll be fine."

......

"Greetings, King Gilgamesh. Please allow me to introduce myself."

"My name is Fufa, and I am the thirty-fourth Demon God under the command of the great Demon God King. I come here by the Demon God King's order as your subject to assist you in defeating the lunatic who dared to offend your majesty."

Siduri looked on worriedly.

Gilgamesh sat on the throne with an expressionless face.

She knew that Wang was not in a good mood at the moment.

He couldn't help but look at the uninvited guests who seemed to have angered the king, but it didn't seem like they were the ones who angered him.

The first speaker was a handsome young man wearing a suit that was out of place in this era.

Neither humble nor arrogant, with a smile on his face.

Behind him followed three women, some big, some small, some tall, some short.

A man was tall and slender, wearing airtight black lion armor.

A man with blond hair and brown eyes, with a huge dragon tail behind him that doesn't quite match his human body size.

A person with a petite figure, white hair and red eyes, with a faint smile on his face, but those red eyes without any figure are creepy no matter how you look at them.

Siduri had an uneasy feeling.

The aura exuded by every uninvited person in this hall seemed to be no weaker than that of Lady Ishtar.

Is the appearance of these people a blessing or a curse for Uruk?

......

"Is this really good?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know how many times she had asked this question today.

"I'm sorry, Master." Mashu apologized.

Leonardo was in a trance and didn't say anything. It seemed that he hadn't yet comprehended the fact that he had escaped. His mind was still in that dark underground cell, being tortured by Guinevere.

"No, no, I'm not talking about you."

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved his hands repeatedly.

He glanced at the dazed Da Vinci with concern.

I felt a little comforted.

No matter what, Mashu and Da Vinci finally came back, although the uninvited guests they brought with them were very troublesome.

The demon god Fulfa.

The other party hadn't concealed his identity. Even when he brought Mashu and Da Vinci here, he'd chatted with her with a smile, proactively introducing himself, saying things like, "I've long heard of your name," "I've long wanted to meet you, humanity's last Master," and "I never thought we could collaborate."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not very afraid of the Demon Pillar.

At most, it's a little worry.

After all, she has eliminated several demon pillars so far.

The name 'Demon God' sounds quite powerful.

But, how to put it.

The feeling the Demon gave her was not only inferior to the strongest enemy she had encountered before, the goddess Longomyniad, or Lin Qingsu, who gave her the most oppressive feeling, but even compared to teacher Scathach, he seemed a little inferior.

She wasn't worried about the demon.

"He brought so many people with him this time. If we really succeed in defeating Mr. Lin, how are we going to deal with them afterwards?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka knew that it was wrong to think about how to deal with the 'allies' before defeating the enemy.

But the oppressive feeling she felt from the heroic spirits brought by Fufa was too strong.

After learning of their identities, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that even if all the heroic spirits he had met before were combined, they would not be able to clear this dungeon.

Perhaps feeling the worried look in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, Da Vinci was in a trance for a moment before returning to his usual demeanor and continuing what she said in a relaxed tone that was familiar to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Yes, let's not talk about the Demon God Fufa who is ranked 34th for now."

"The evil god who brings drought, the winter giant, the enemy of the god Indra... the evil dragon Vritra who causes drought."

"There is also the god of love from Indian mythology."

"as well as..."

Da Vinci paused, looked at the wall of the bedroom with a fearful look, as if there was some ferocious beast living on the other side of the wall. After a pause, he chose to skip this person and continued.

"Who would have thought that the weakest one would be Altria, who holds the Holy Spear."

"think carefully."

"Even if that damned Lin Qingsu faces Artoria."

"The Goddess of Warcraft versus Vritra."

"The goddess of Venus and the goddess of the underworld...even if we count the goddess of the underworld who can't leave the underworld, and barely count Kama and the adult next door."

"There is also a demon god Fufa."

"And even all of us combined might not be able to defeat Him."

After summarizing the situation, Da Vinci smiled gleefully and half-jokingly suggested, "Why don't we just go and cooperate with Lin Qingsu?"

Listening to this familiar Leonardo da Vinci's unique way of easing the atmosphere, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a sense of warmth and nostalgia in his heart, and his anxious heart finally calmed down.

He wanted to apologize, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Mashu still feeling guilty, and his headache started to build.

Knowing that she felt sorry for her and Miss Jeanne because she was captured alive, Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to use Jeanne to 'exchange' them.

Even though she had explained many times that it was Joan of Arc who proposed it, and that Joan of Arc liked Lin Qingsu, and that this was a good thing for Joan of Arc, Mashu still felt that she was a burden and sorry for her.

But she also knew that what Mash needed was not comfort, but an opportunity to show that she was important.

His mind raced, and as if he had grasped something, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Da Vinci and asked, "Could you please repeat what you just said?"

Da Vinci was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What? Are you tempted? Then we should quickly sneak away while Fulfa and the others go to see Gilgamesh..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly asked, "Did we miss a goddess?"

Da Vinci was startled, but then the voice of Dr. Roman sounded in the void.

"Quetzalcoatl, the god of the sun, learning, agriculture, and science in Aztec mythology, abolished the custom of human sacrifice and was considered a benevolent god who rejected human sacrifice..."

Roman quickly introduced the information about the third goddess in the Three Goddesses Alliance.

He concluded: "From the perspective of mythology, this goddess is an undeniably good goddess compared to the goddess Ishtar."

In other words.

Since Ishtar, the brutal goddess who kills people and destroys gods at will, can become so easy to talk to, Quetzal, who has always been like Ishtar and has not massacred humans like the goddess of warcraft, might also be a goddess who can be approached.

He could hear the support for himself in Roman's words.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was in high spirits, looking at Mashu and Da Vinci with bright eyes.

"I want to talk to this goddess."

Da Vinci glanced at Mashu, who was in a trance, and asked, "Let's not talk about Fulfa for now. Do Merlin and Gilgamesh know about this?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head: "Since arriving here, I have been following the orders of Merlin and King Gilgamesh."

"Of course, I'm not saying it's bad to listen to them, but... I've messed up before. I even failed to win over the goddess Ishtar, which was a sure thing. So I want to give it a try this time."

Da Vinci asked again, "If the cruel goddess Ishtar could become a good person, then perhaps the good god Quetzal could become a great villain. Otherwise, why didn't Merlin and King Gilgamesh ask you to go find Quetzal? Even so, would you go?"

"I'm going."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked determined, paused, and said, "Da Vinci, and Mashu, can you protect me so I can see Him?"

"Since you have made up your mind, I have no problem with it." Da Vinci chuckled.

"Mash." Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at Mash.

Mashu just came back to her senses from her trance and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka looking at her with a smile.

"Can you please continue to protect me?"

Can I, a weak person who was easily defeated by King Arthur, really protect the Master?

Mashu suddenly recalled the scene of that day. Lin Qingsu easily defeated many heroic spirits, including her, in a nearly brutal manner, and a feeling of powerlessness arose in her heart.

Can I really do it?

However, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's hopeful eyes, the weakness in Mashu's heart suddenly disappeared and her blood became excited.

"Yes! I will protect you well, Master!"

Chapter 17: Ishtar's Revenge

Underworld.

The back garden of the palace of the goddess of the underworld.

What was originally a lonely courtyard made of dark bricks and stones was now covered with colorful flowers, as if light was falling, the spring was bright, and butterflies were flying.

Lin Qingsu asked, "Can you confirm the identity of the person who came?"

"It's blocked. I can't see the inside of Uruk."

Mary spoke lazily, moving from sitting to leaning against the wooden railing, and finally half leaning on the table, feeling uncomfortable all the time.

In the end, he simply stood up, walked around the table to the opposite side, and used Lin Qingsu's thigh as a pillow. Only then was he satisfied.

"What use do I have for you?"

Lin Qingsu pushed her head in disgust.

"Warm the bed~"
