Chapter 699
Kiyohime seemed to know that Okita would be curious, and she shook her head.
"I am also very unwilling, but after all, we are in the dangerous Age of Gods. It is better for Lord Su Mo to bring a guard than a maid... Although I don't think I will lose to you in terms of strength!"
Kiyohime showed an unconvinced expression when she said the latter part.
Seeing this scene, Okita Souji was relieved. It seemed that she was not sick.
Often showing jealousy in the details, this is Kiyohime's usual style.
And this reason alone is naturally not enough. With Kiyohime's rationality, even if she knew the dangers of the Age of Gods, she would think that her love was enough to burn all obstacles.
The biggest reason why she gave this opportunity to Okita Souji was actually another one.
"Besides, Sakura seems to have a lot of misunderstandings about me recently! If I leave with Lord Su Mo again this time, the child will definitely ignore me!"
Kiyohime looked unwilling.
Although her relationship with Su Mo has become increasingly close recently, she is still a servant summoned by Sakura after all.
At first, she descended from the Throne of Heroes to help Sakura realize her wish.
She still cares a lot about her former little Master.
During this period, Sakura has always suspected that Qingji was deliberately approaching Su Mo under the guise of teaching her love manual.
So, she decided to take this opportunity to persuade Sakura and let Sakura accept the marriage concept of their time.
In this way, Sakura will not be jealous of her in the future.
In fact, in a very short time, Qingji had already thought of her lines.
——"I am not here to break you up, but to join you 々`!"
Thinking of this, Qingji secretly encouraged herself.
This time, she must successfully persuade Sakura, so that there will be no obstacles between herself and Master Su Mo.
—— Qingji wins!
Seeing Qingji covering her mouth and laughing, Su Mo guessed that she must be making some calculations.
Although Qingji's personality will never lie.
But there is no need to explore the girl's secrets.
Therefore, Su Mo did not ask much.
He just used the solar calendar to adjust the time in Qingji's body.
And through the magic he taught, he taught Qingji the ritual of summoning.
"At fixed intervals, you use this ritual to summon me once, and when I finish my work, I will respond to your call."
After making preparations, he instructed Qingji.
"If there is any emergency, don't worry about the interval, just contact me directly, I will rush back quickly."
Since we are going to the Age of Gods, the protection work here must be done well, and Su Mo has added a lot of defensive measures.
Seeing his actions, Qingji proudly raised her head and chest.
"Don't worry, Lord Su Mo, I will definitely protect Xiaoying and the others! Moreover, with your blessing, there are not many who can defeat me!"
With Su Mo's blessing, she can trace back her bloodline at any time and become a spiritual and beautiful Eastern Fairy Dragon.
Not to mention the magicians in modern society, even if it is against the Heroic Spirit, as long as it is not the kind of outrageous top servant, Qingji can fight seven alone without any problem.
You know, the dragon species in the Type-Moon world can rival the gods.
There is really no need to worry about her safety.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Su Mo nodded.
If Qing Ji uses her full strength, there are indeed not many people who can deal with it.
In addition to Qing Ji, he has arranged other backup plans, and he is still assured of the safety of Xiaoying and others.
Not to mention, if it is time travel.
Maybe when Su Mo comes back, Xiaoying has not finished school yet!
After preparation.
Su Mo grabbed Okita Souji, turned her body into a spirit, and collected it through a contract.
Then he responded to Ishtar's call.
The figure disappeared directly in the vortex of time and space.
…………
…………
Before Su Mo noticed Ishtar's call, a little bit earlier.
In fact, it was not long.
It was probably only more than 5,000 years ago.
That is, around 3,100 BC.
At this time, human civilization was still in the barbaric Age of Gods.
The existence of gods is not the most active at this time. The Age of Gods has only begun.
Except for the wise and knowledgeable, I am afraid that not many people would think that humans will part ways with gods.
After all, in this era, humans serve gods and gods bestow grace on humans, which is still the most basic common sense of living in the world.
——Of course, this does not include a certain ancient Eastern civilization.
At this time, the ancient civilization located in Mesopotamia, the Sumerian civilization, which rose in the Tigris and Euphrates River basins, has entered the city-state era.
As the capital of the Sumerian dynasty, Uruk naturally has its own city patron saint.
——Ishtar.
Whether it is the people under her protection or her enemies, they will probably tremble when they hear this name.
This mistress of the sky, who relies on the favor of her father god and acts recklessly everywhere, is the goddess who protects Uruk.
And accordingly, the people of Uruk must also offer their faith to this goddess.
In fact, with what Ishtar did, even if she was not the patron saint of this city, she would probably be able to gain enough respect (from Wang Zhao).
But this kind of thing is not important.
At least for now, it is just a trivial matter.
What is important is the body.
This proud mistress of the sky is now hiding in her altar, pulling her priestess with a wronged look on her face, and saying something angrily.
When she was excited, she waved her fist, and it seemed that she was going to say something cruel.
It is obvious that this lawless goddess has been bullied, and there is no way to retaliate.
So she can only hide in the room and vent her emotions to her priestess.
"' 〃Aile is a fool! Idiot! You wait, one day I will return all the humiliation I have suffered! Make you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy!"
The goddess with blond hair and red eyes said the lines of a loser with an indignant look on her face.
The witch on the side was trying to comfort her goddess with a helpless look on her face.
574 Gilgamesh, you are courting your own death
"Please calm down, Ishtar. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."
The head of the Uruk priests, Siduri, who was responsible for serving Ishtar, comforted Ishtar while trying to persuade her.
"Misunderstanding?"
However, after hearing her words, Ishtar's tone immediately rose eight degrees.
"How could it be a misunderstanding! That guy embarrassed me seven times, seven times! If I didn't have so many artifacts on me, I would have almost been unable to come back!"
"Ishtar Goes to the Underworld", this is a very important chapter in Sumerian mythology.
Not long ago, Ishtar fulfilled this myth and went to the underworld to find her sister Ereshkigal.
She originally planned to have a good relationship with the other party.
However, what Ishtar did not expect was
As soon as she arrived in the underworld, she was given a warning by Ereshkigal.
To go deeper into the underworld, she had to pass through seven gates.
And every time she passed through a gate, she had to pay a divine weapon on her body as a price.
If she didn't have a divine weapon, she would have to exchange it for half of her divinity.
You know, the underworld is Ereshkigal's home ground.
In this case, Ishtar, who had to enter the underworld, had no way to resist.
Fortunately, she had more divine weapons on her body.
In the end, she barely passed through the seven layers of 670 gates.
Then... she saw a big skeleton.
Without even seeing Ereshkigal's face, the two of them quarreled, and soon they started fighting.
Without the help of the divine weapon, she was suppressed by the main field of the underworld.
Ishtar was directly hung up and beaten.
If she hadn't run fast, she might have stayed in the underworld forever.
So, after escaping, she hated her sister who didn't follow martial ethics.
Counting today, she dragged Siduri here and scolded Ereshkigal for three days and three nights.
Until now, she is still very angry when she mentions her experience.
"Seven times, it is indeed a bit too much."
Hearing Ishtar's words, Siduri nodded.
"I said so, right? Even Siduri thinks so, it is obviously that guy who is wrong!"
Hearing Siduri's words, Ishtar seemed to get affirmation and immediately became excited.
However——
"I didn't say that."
Siduri shook her head.
She has heard about Ishtar's experience so many times these days that her ears are calloused. As a believer of Ishtar, she will generally empathize with the injustice suffered by her main god, whether it is out of faith or flattery, and defend her own people.
However, Siduri is not the type of person who helps relatives and not the outside world, and Ishtar and Ereshkigal are not enemies.
Not to mention, as a mortal, she is not qualified to comment on gods.
She just found something wrong in Ishtar's words based on her understanding of her.
"According to what you said, Ishtar-sama, you went to the underworld to visit Ereshkigal-sama, right?"
"... Well, you can say that!"
Ishtar's tone was a little hesitant, but she nodded, looking a little suspicious.
Siduri noticed this, but didn't say anything, and continued to ask.
"In that case, Ereshkigal-sama shouldn't have a conflict with you without even seeing you, right?"
"The two lords don't have any deep hatred. If he knew that you went there with good intentions, even if Ereshkigal-sama didn't treat you politely, he shouldn't have directly embarrassed you."
Siduri pointed out the unreasonable part.
Ishtar immediately nodded like a rattle.
