The conditions proposed by Ereshkigal are actually not a big deal.
"Although the underworld is destined to disappear, I am the goddess of the underworld. Let me fulfill this duty until the last moment."
This means that Ereshkigal can conclude a contract, but she will not leave the underworld for the time being, nor will she follow Luo Zhen, but will guard the underworld until it disappears.
If Luo Zhen agrees to this condition, Ereshkigal will conclude a contract with him.
And before that...
"The ground can only be left to you temporarily."
This is a contradiction that Ereshkigal has to resolve.
He wanted to help humans on earth, but also wanted to protect the underworld until the last moment. These two desires conflicted with each other, making it difficult for Ereshkigal to choose.
If Luo Zhen can help Ereshkigal resolve this conflict, then she can conclude a contract with Luo Zhen.
In this regard, Ishtar gave the most intuitive idea.
"You are really troublesome."
This should be the truest thought in Ishtar’s heart, right
He wants to help humans, but he also wants to stay here. It has to be said that Ereshkigal's wishes are really contradictory and troublesome.
This is indeed troublesome for the free-spirited Ishtar.
Of course, Ereshkigal also had self-consciousness.
"I know that I am a very troublesome goddess. I have always been like this. To put it nicely, it is persistence and awareness. To put it badly, it is actually indecision. But I really can't help but leave the underworld alone."
Otherwise, Ereshkigal would not have looked at the situation on the ground and worried about it in the underworld. In the end, he would have taken over Ishtar's body to help Luo Zhen in various ways, and formed an alliance with the other goddesses. He also behaves in various contradictory ways towards human beings.
This goddess just has too many things that cannot be given up simply, which is why people feel so distressed.
"If you don't have a problem with me being such a troublesome person, then I will be happy to make a contract with you."
At this point, Ereshkigal was a little more frank, but his pretty face was a little red.
Having said that, Ereshkigal does not intend to do nothing and just stay in the underworld.
"I will release the souls brought to the underworld by the Garula spirit and let them return to the body. The necromancy army can also be lent to you, but they can only move at night and will fall directly into it during the day. Sleeping, unable to control."
Ereshkigal said so.
"Also, please take this child to Uruk. She is a neutral servant who fell into the underworld when she appeared in the world. She should be able to help you."
Ereshkigal is referring to the two rituals.
In other words, although Ereshkigal will temporarily stay in the underworld, she can be taken away by Luo Zhen for the two rituals.
The goddess who cannot take away death has acquired a girl with the magic eye of death, which makes people wonder whether they should be happy or not.
I don't really care.
"Although I consider myself not a savior, I have no interest in really becoming an enemy of humans. I have nowhere to go for the time being. If you are willing to take me in, as a diner, I will lend you this power."
That's what the Two Ceremonies claim.
In this way, the conditions proposed by Ereshkigal are not so unacceptable.
then...
"Just do as you say."
Luo Zhen smiled at Ereshkigal.
"Thanks."
Only then did Ereshkigal relax his face as if relieved.
Afterwards, Luo Zhen did conclude an absolute contract with Ereshkigal as promised, allowing Ereshkigal to become his soul-melting familiar in front of everyone.
Then, Luo Zhen summoned Ereshkigal and asked her to stay in the underworld and guard this land.
Thanks to this, the magic power Luo Zhen plundered from Ishtar was almost exhausted.
After all, it is a summoning goddess, so the consumption is conceivable.
However, this time the purpose of going to the underworld can be perfectly solved, which is a happy ending for everyone.
The souls taken away by the Galula spirit were liberated by Ereshkigal.
The aroma of death that enveloped Uruk and other cities was also recovered by Ereshkigal.
At the same time, the curse on Ishtar was also lifted, allowing it to return to its original size and finally regain its strength.
Of course, since Ishtar was still in Luo Zhen's clothes at that time, after Ishtar recovered, I recovered in the state of being buried in Luo Zhen's clothes. All of them were attached to Luo Zhen, making the scene quite chaotic for a time.
But no matter what, this trip to the underworld finally ended successfully.
When Luo Zhen and others were preparing to leave, Ereshkigal handed Luo Zhen something.
"What's this?"
Looking at what Ereshkigal handed to him, Luo Zhen couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
It was a slab of clay.
A piece of clay tablet with unknown words on it, engraved with words that even Luo Zhen could barely read.
The clay plate contains a very special magic wave, which seems to be no ordinary thing.
Ereshkigal said so.
"Shiki brought this from the ground. You can take it back to Uruk."
Ereshkigal said so.
"Did Miss Shiki bring something into the underworld...?"
Matthew looked at the two rituals on the side with some surprise.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't know what this is." Liang Li said simply: "This stone fell from above when I fell into the underworld. Who should have thrown it in Kusa Something from the city, right?”
According to the two rituals, the magic power carried by this clay tablet was quite special and should not be an ordinary thing. She kept carrying it with her until she met Ereshkigal in the underworld, and then gave it to her.
Now, Ereshkigal gave this clay tablet to Luo Zhen and asked Luo Zhen to take it back to Uruk.
"Gilgamesh will tell you how to use it."
Ereshkigal said this as he handed the clay tablet to Luozhen, looked at him.
"Also, tell him something for me."
What's going on
"Enkidu's body is missing."
Ereshkigal said this.
"Just tell him about this for me."
After leaving such words, Luo Zhen and his party bid farewell to Ereshkigal.
Ereshkigal stayed in the underworld, and instead, the two rituals became Luo Zhen's followers.
However, unlike Ereshkigal, which concluded an absolute contract, the contract concluded between Liangli and Luo Zhen was not even a formal contract, but only a temporary contract.
"Although you seem to be quite smart, let me observe you for a while."
The two rituals just said this, and then naturally followed Luo Zhen and others back to the ground.
