Uruk, Chaldean Embassy.
After returning here, Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu solved the problem of food and clothing for a while, and then prepared to set off.
Gilgamesh has issued a pass allowing Luo Zhen and Mashu to freely enter and leave Uruk and go to the city of Kusa.
Therefore, Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu were ready to set off and head to the underworld immediately.
Anna followed along with Merlin.
However, these two people were unable to go together.
"After all, we are heroic spirits, that is, we are not human beings, and we are not the living. Even if we go to the underworld, we cannot help you, and may even hinder you, so you can only go there by yourself this time."
Merlin said these words helplessly, causing Fu Fu, who was standing on his shoulder, to scream twice.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
Anna also spoke out like she was full of apology and guilt.
"Don't mind, Miss Anna, and Mr. Merlin, you have already helped us a lot."
Matthew quickly spoke out to comfort him.
Luo Zhen also shrugged.
"To be honest, I'm a little confused this time." Luo Zhen said to Merlin and Anna: "In a place like the underworld, I don't have much power left and I don't know how far I can use it."
Who said that the underworld is a place where all gods can be rendered powerless
In a place like that, even the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit might not be of use, right
What's more, if even heroic spirits are interfered by the laws of the underworld, then neither Mashu nor Attila may be able to exert their power and deal with Ereshkigal.
In addition, Luo Zhen is still recovering, this trip to the underworld is also full of dangers for Luo Zhen.
Therefore, Luo Zhen is also taking a risk and does not come to the underworld with full confidence.
Even Luo Zhen himself is like this, so he is naturally not qualified to say anything to others.
Merlin also touched his chin.
"The underworld is the realm of the dead. Even my clairvoyance cannot see there. Under such circumstances, I can't give you any advice."
So said the Great Magician of Britain.
but...
"Since your opponent is Ereshkigal, maybe you can find a helper. Maybe she can help you."
Merlin said this.
"helper?"
Ma Xiu couldn't help but be startled.
"Help?" Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Do you think she will help me?"
Obviously, Luo Zhen knew who the person Merlin mentioned was.
It was precisely because he knew that Luo Zhen found it difficult to talk about it.
"Who knows?" Merlin smiled meaningfully and said, "Maybe it can be done. Anyway, the Kutha City you are going to is that person's territory. It is very likely that you will meet him directly. You might as well Give it a try?”
Hearing this, Luo Zhen rolled his eyes.
This unreliable guy really can stand and talk without pain in his back.
Luo Zhen knew that asking the other party to help him go to the underworld would definitely be more uncomfortable than killing him.
However, Luo Zhen didn't say anything.
If you can meet the other person, it would be a good idea to give it a try.
I just don’t know if the other party knows that Ereshkigal has also appeared.
If you knew it, the other person's expression would be wonderful, right
Thinking so, Luo Zhen smiled.
"I'll do my best." Luo Zhen responded like this, then looked at Merlin and Anna, and said: "I'll leave this to you. If anything happens, just tell the familiars in Uruk, and they will I will cooperate with you obediently, and at the same time, you will also tell me what is going on here through telepathic communication."
"Understood." Merlin nodded, nodded Fu Fu's head on his shoulder, and said, "I will take care of this beast for you for the time being."
Hearing Merlin's words, Fufu yelled and shook her head. Instead of accepting it, she jumped in the direction of Matthew, kicked her face, and turned to her shoulders, telling everyone with her actions that it Who do you want to follow
"Do you want to go to the underworld with Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu?"
Anna asked in surprise.
"Fu!"
Fufu raised her head and shouted, nodding, feeling like she wanted to share the joys and sorrows with Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu.
"You traitor, I've never seen you worry about me so much before."
Merlin said in confusion.
"Foo! Fuwu!"
Fufu looked at Merlin with contempt, as if she was saying, "I'm only worried about you when I'm full and have nothing to do?"
The Chaldean mascot's resentment towards Merlin was still so great.
"Thank you, Fufu."
Mashu tapped Fufu's cheek with a smile on her face.
Luo Zhen did not object to Fufu following.
Now that we know that Fufu is the magic cat in King Arthur's legend, maybe, this little guy can come in handy in unexpected places.
"Then we're leaving."
Luo Zhen said goodbye to Merlin and Anna.
The two of them nodded heavily.
"See you later, Miss Anna, Mr. Merlin."
Matthew also bent down to say goodbye.
Later, Luo Zhen, Ma Xiu and Fu Fu left the embassy and headed towards the north gate.
Merlin and Anna stood at the door, watching the two leave.
"Are you worried?"
When the backs of Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu were almost out of sight, Merlin suddenly asked.
The person being asked was naturally Anna.
"... A bit." Anna originally wanted to deny it, but seeing Merlin's smiling expression, she knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she reluctantly said: "In a place like the underworld, even they There is a possibility that they will never come back, so I actually want to stop them.”
"Oh?" Merlin didn't expect Anna to say that, and said in surprise: "It seems that you are getting along well with them these days, no, I should say you are getting along well with Lord Lorelei, right?"
"... What does this mean?" Anna said unhappily: "Are you making fun of me?"
"How could it be?" Merlin quickly waved his hand and shook his head, smiling bitterly: "I'm just curious that you, who claims to hate humans, would be so interested in them."
"What about Merlin?" Anna looked at Merlin and said, "Didn't Merlin once say that although he is half human, he actually does not belong to the category of human, but half demon, so you are not a human being. Do you care?"
"Yes." Merlin nodded calmly and said, "I really don't care about the life and death of individual human beings, but if it's the life and death of all mankind, that's a different matter."
After all, Merlin is a dream demon who needs to feed on human dreams to grow and survive.
If humanity perishes, then he will probably perish too.
In addition, Merlin actually likes the history and human principles depicted by humans, and he is still very concerned about the life and death of all humans.
"And that person symbolizes the hope of all mankind. Isn't it natural that I pay attention to him?"
Merlin acted on this theory.
"Why did you change your attitude towards Lorelei-kun?"
Merlin asked both out of curiosity and as a test.
Anna was silent for a long time.
Then...
"Because, besides my sisters, he is the first person who loves me and understands me."
With these words, Anna turned around and returned to the embassy.
Merlin looked at this scene, smiled, and returned to the pavilion.
