Chapter 8: Hanging Sword

Views:

The last story said that when the lifespan of the worm ape was about to end and Gilgamesh died of old age, he used the blood of power, narrowly escaped death, returned to his young body, survived the second life, and returned to his youthful bravery and blood. The King of Heroes led the tribe back to war.

The time has advanced by another ten years.

The settled tribal era has gone through several generations, and the wooden houses they used were decaying and damaged. So, under the leadership of Gilgamesh, people began to build houses with stones, and officially entered the Stone Age of resisting giant beasts.

Gilgamesh, possessing termite genes, can easily uproot a century-old tree that can only be hugged by four people. He can reach a height of seven or eight meters in a single leap, and he also has the power to move mountains.

He led the people to fight against the giant beast, and fought continuously. Finally, thirteen years later, his arrogance reached the peak and he chose to challenge the most terrifying and powerful 100-meter giant beast on this land, the legendary giant Finbar. ! !

The behemoth Finbar, lying on the ground is a towering mountain.

Its body traverses the entire giant forest of Smilkar.

The breathing and panting sound of it sleeping was enough to form a gust of wind in the lush giant forest, and countless giant trees shook accordingly.

One snort of it is enough to blow the Allah giant beast away.

It was just before Xu Zhi saw the terrifying and invincible monster that was as huge as a kitten.

It is the ruler of the entire giant beast era.

During the three days and nights of the war, the earth cracked, the canyons collapsed, and countless giant beasts in the forest fled.

On this day, Gilgamesh was bathed in blood and had a healthy body. He held the sword of Damocles in one hand, and dragged the body of the 100-meter giant Finbar with the other hand.

With the strength of his single hand, he was able to pull the body of the 100-meter behemoth Finba, which was comparable to the majestic hills, which made the people of countless tribes proud and shocked to the extreme.

Countless people wrote hymns for him, praising his strength, this is the strongest hero king in history.

"I want to build a country."

The moment he returned, looking at the people of the Stone Tool tribe, he suddenly said so.

The tribe is boiling!

Weeping with joy, embracing each other and crying, they knew clearly that under the leadership of this great and handsome Sumerian hero king, the days of wandering and wandering were gone, and they no longer had to fear giant beasts and savages.

A new era of civilization has begun!

History is written by the victors. Gilgamesh did not record the atrocities of killing his son, but recorded his heroism in "Genesis".

The Middle History of the Sumerian Dynasty records:

[Gilgamesh, who took the blood of strength, slashed the legendary giant Finbar with his sword, established the Sumerian Dynasty, moved the giant stone around, and built the first city-state in history, the city of Uruk.]

Time keeps going backwards.

Gilgamesh, who was invincible in the entire land, began to devote himself to the development of civilization.

He is hardworking, heroic and charming, but tyrannical.

He made currency, perfected the language, and built cities, but cruelly divided the races into three, six, and nine classes, established slavery, and spent money and money, dispatched a large number of warriors, and began to explore the boundaries of the world.

He is the great hero-king of the people and an out-and-out tyrant.

The Sumerian dynasty was eighty-seven years old, and Gilgamesh was one hundred and twenty-seven years old.

The royal city of Uruk has finally reached the terrifying population of tens of millions.

Countless slaves were traded here, and even the Colosseum was built. The nobles let the slaves fight with the giant beasts, and laughed for joy.

The tribal people passed away back then, and after nearly a hundred years, their grandchildren, who do not remember the hardships and struggles of their ancestors, are gradually decaying with ease.

However, the king of Sumer was still heroic.

The dark and gloomy palace of Uruk.

The arched roof is carved with precise and delicate textures, and the snow-white wall lamps cast a faint light. On both sides are round wreath stone pillars carved with golden textures, and the ground is a bright red carpet paved with the fur of powerful giant beasts.

A stalwart and handsome man sat calmly on the exquisite bone throne, and in his hand was the legendary sword, the Sword of Damocles, which never left.

"The great king of Sumer, the lord of the city-state! His Majesty Gilgamesh!! We have explored the entire land." Dionysius, the minister of the palace, bent slightly, and enthusiastically recounted what he had seen and heard over the years.

"What is our world like?"

Gilgamesh is as handsome as a Greek statue, sitting on the throne of the skeleton of the behemoth Finbar, as if he could see through the endless blue sky outside the palace.

Those warriors who explored outwards traveled from all directions and spent more than 20 years of huge projects to form a round trip, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Only today did they know the shape of the entire world.

Throughout the history of the earth, regardless of the ancient great kings, they all have a strong thirst for knowledge and ambition for the world.

Dionysius said respectfully and exaggeratedly: "Our world has a round sky and a round earth.

The sky is an infinitely high arc, and the ground is a perfect square,

In the center is a huge ocean, surrounded by mountains and rivers,

On this incomparably vast and endless land, it would take more than 20 years to ride the fastest Finchla monster along a straight line, walk to the edge of the world at both ends, and run at full speed... . "

After a moment of silence, the greatest king in the world said: "Okay, step back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Dionysius got up and left.

He suddenly paused, turned his head and looked at their king longingly for admiration. This great hero king led them out of the cave, opened up the tribal farming age, entered the Stone Age, and now entered the city-state age.

He slaughtered Finbar, the most terrifying king of giant beasts, and is leading civilizations one by one.

Thirty years ago, when Dionysius was still a young man, a well-known ranger in the city-state, he was called into the palace by His Majesty and ordered to investigate the entire geographical location. He was given the great mission of his life by the king—to draw a geographical map of the city-state.

Thirty years later, when he returned to Uruk, he was no longer a boy, but a trembling old man with cloudy eyes, and he could not live long.

But Your Majesty, you are still young.

Just like when he met him as a ranger back then, with his extremely handsome and perfect face, time seemed to have never left traces on his face.

"What a great monarch this is!"

Dionysius trembled, full of frenzy.

For more than a hundred years, His Majesty's power has not been used anymore, and his strength has long been unknown. Perhaps in the future, this long-lived and immortal king will lead the Sumerian people into the next era of civilization.

"Our world is a round place."

When the palace was empty, Gilgamesh sighed for a long time, and then slowly drew out the holy sword that he had carried with him all these years, the Sword of Damox.

He stroked it lightly with his fingers, as if his lover who had accompanied him for endless years.

"The power of the torch has been mastered, and the blood of power has fully understood its function, but the sword of Damocles... I have searched the whole world, but I can't find out how it was made."

Gilgamesh whispered, stroking the blade full of shock, "What kind of material is this? What kind of giant bone is it? Or what kind of civilization craft?"

Unfortunately, this world is not the real world after all.

There are no mineral veins, no copper ore, no iron ore, and Xu Zhi did not deliberately bury all kinds of ores. This is an ordinary farmland orchard, and the soil is under the ground, so they can only stop in the Stone Age forever. In my cognition, there is never the word "metal".

For this world, this gleaming hard material is mysterious, powerful, and unique.

"I have found the end of the world, but I have not found the great wisdom beast back then. Where in the world does he live?" Gilgamesh took a deep breath.

The civilization possessed by the wisdom behemoth is simply hard to fathom.

The weapon given to him, the Sword of Damocles, even though it made him feel like a treasure and opened up the entire civilization of the holy sword, why didn't it warn him

He has only grasped part of the power of this civilization, and the rest is unknown, just like how the secret of how this sword was forged made him feel deeply afraid and trembling! !

The sword of Damocles is like a sword hanging from the top, the tip of the sword hangs high above his head.

This sword brought him the power of civilization, powerful, mysterious, and allowed him to develop brilliance, but it was extremely unsafe. If the tip of the sword fell at any time, he might take his life away.

"The power of civilization is really fascinating."

Sitting on the throne, he looked like a sleeping lion who had been lying down for a long time. His eyes slowly looked into the distance, as if looking through the long years in the distant forest a hundred years ago. The tall and huge figure he met back then was extremely tall. The super giant, covered in snow-white radiance, was born sacred, and dragged his young self with his broad palms, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the world, and handed over the three treasures of his own civilization.

"Unfortunately, my life is about to come to an end again, the blood of power will no longer have any effect on me, I want to live a third life... Great beast of wisdom, I want to see you again!"
