"This is a place for you to live."
At a corner of Uruk City Street not far from the pagoda, in front of a building, Siduli opened the curtain that replaced the door and invited Luo Zhen and his party in.
What appeared in front of everyone was a medium-sized space that looked a bit old and was decorated like a hotel bar. There were stairs on the side that led all the way upstairs. From the outside, it should be a building with at least three floors. Tall buildings.
"This was originally a tavern, a place that specialized in selling ale, so the first floor is a public area, but the second and third floors are residential areas. There are many rooms. Even if it can accommodate ten people, there is no problem. You can It’s okay to use freely here.”
Siduli said this to Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu.
But the first ones to react were not Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu, but other bystanders.
"Oh, it can accommodate ten people, and it's also a tavern that sells ale. Not bad, it's really good. It's much better than my room in the tower."
Merlin, who was holding a wand, was making comments while nodding his head in a serious manner.
"The habitation of mankind..."
Anna also looked around cautiously, her attitude seemed to be disgusting with something, but her tone did not reveal much disgust, so she must not be rejecting this place very much.
But compared to Merlin and Anna, the other person's attitude was very different.
"This kind of place is like a sheepfold compared to my temple palace. If you let me go, then I can't help you find a better place. This is an unprecedented discount, the best treatment at the myth level. I’ve already mentioned this, you should let me go, right!?”
Ishtar, who was being carried by Matthew, was still chattering and yelling, and it seemed that she had not given up her struggle yet.
"How should I put it?" Matthew said with a complicated mood: "I always feel that the goddess of Mesopotamia unexpectedly knows a lot of new vocabulary, and she even said the words "big discount"."
Indeed, although this Ishtar's reaction and tone have a condescending feeling, for some reason, the vocabulary is unexpectedly very close to that of a modern girl.
Even Siduri said so.
"The previous Lord Ishtar's language should have been more ancient and arrogant, but just like the king said, the Lord Ishtar who appears this time seems to be different from before."
The way Siduri spoke in this way was both polite and modest, which made people quite fond of her.
Luo Zhen, who was looking around, looked at Siduli.
"Thank you for providing us with a place to stay." Luo Zhen said: "I remember your name is Miss Siduli, right?"
Hearing this, Siduli smiled slightly.
"Just call me Siduri, Lord Lorelei." Siduli bowed her head and saluted, and said: "I'm sorry to introduce myself late, but now I am not only the chief priest of the sacrificial site, but also the king. An auxiliary officer under his command, since the king has given an order to let me arrange a place for you, I will naturally do my best."
Speaking of which, I have to mention the situation in Uruk.
In Urukri, although Gilgamesh is the apparent ruler and lord, in addition to royal power, there is also divine power here.
Even though it is already the end of the Age of Gods, this era is undoubtedly the closest to the gods in human history. People on earth still have a strong sense of awe and belief in the existence of gods.
Therefore, while people obeyed the king's rule, they also followed God's guidance and were restricted by both royal power and divine power.
Therefore, basically, Uruk is ruled by the three major forces of the royal palace, the sacrificial site, and the shrine, which is the so-called tripartite force.
Siduri is the chief priest of the sacrificial site. She has a high position in Uruk, second only to King Gilgamesh. She is currently active as King Gilgamesh's assistant and is trusted by Gilgamesh. .
It is precisely because of this that Siduri knows Gilgamesh quite well.
"To be honest, this is the first time I have seen the king show such importance to a strange stranger, especially Lord Lorelei. I can see that the king recognizes you quite a bit." Siduli said Smiling at Luo Zhen, he said: "This is an extremely rare thing. I am still surprised, but since Lord Lorelei can subdue the goddess Ishtar, and there seem to be two gods His protection must be a hero who is not inferior to the king and Enkidu, right?"
Siduli spoke highly of Luo Zhen.
"No, you think too highly of me."
Luo Zhen shook his head and responded rather perfunctorily.
But Siduli's attitude was unexpectedly serious.
"How could it be?" Siduli stared at Luo Zhen solemnly, and said seriously: "Whether it is the attitude of the king or the attitude of the goddess Ishtar, they tell us that although you are a human being, you are absolutely Extraordinary, for Uruk, which is facing a life-and-death crisis, your arrival is likely to be an opportunity to change the status quo."
After all, she is the chief priest of the sacrificial site and the king's assistant officer. Siduli still has the ability to observe words and people.
In view of this...
"If you need anything, please feel free to tell me. As long as it can be done, I will try my best to complete it."
Siduli saluted Luo Zhen again, and this time she made a request to Luo Zhen with extremely formal etiquette.
"Please lend your power to us, the people of Uruk, and bring hope to this country."
At this point, Siduli's tone was as pious as praying to the gods.
That way, it is really very holy and solemn.
"But... please raise your head! Miss Siduli!" Matthew quickly supported Siduli and said like a voice: "We will definitely work hard! Please don't worry!"
Not only Mash, but Merlin also spoke.
"Don't worry, they are quite reliable, right?"
Merlin showed Siduli a relaxed and happy smile.
"..."
Ana's eyes flickered slightly and she fell silent.
And Ishtar was still shouting.
"Instead of begging them, why not beg me, Siduli, if you persuade them to let me go now, and then let that Jin Shining come to me and kowtow to apologize, then I can't help you. This is What a rare opportunity!”
This goddess is still saying such unrealistic things.
"It is impossible for the king to kowtow and apologize. Lord Ishtar, please don't say such unrealistic words." Siduli sighed and said: "If it were just me, of course I hope to let you go, but since the king There is an order, and the people who brought you here are Lord Lorelai and the others, so I can’t make any decisions, so you can treat it as a period of recuperation and stay here for the time being."
After speaking, Siduli nodded to everyone.
"Then, the king must have a lot of matters to deal with, so I'll take my leave now."
After finishing speaking, Siduli left here.
"Wait! Wait! Siduri!"
Ishtar's cry was used as the farewell background music, and Siduri was sent away without looking back.
Then, everyone looked at her, the look in their eyes was so malicious.
"You... what do you want to do...?"
Ishtar swallowed in dismay.
In response, Luo Zhen, who was supported by everyone, showed a friendly smile, which made Ishtar tremble.
