Chapter 576:
"Even if I want to kill you, I will kill you first!"
...
"Quiet me!" After everyone was quiet, Quetzal continued, "Listen to me. I'm already planning to join Uruk, so you can go home now. Don't worry, It's not like we won't meet again, you can come to Uruk to find me if you want, don't you also want to go there?"
What followed was another round of cheers, whether it was for their own freedom, or because they could continue to see Quetzal again.
I have to say, this scene is unimaginable for everyone. I thought that these people should be imprisoned together like prisoners, and then forced to work like slaves by Quetzal, but they did not expect to train with enthusiasm and energy.
This is very different from the already dead Kusa. Moreover, the muscles on this group of people are really dazzling, even more exaggerated than the soldiers guarding Uruk in front of the absolute monster front.
After this group of people entered the Absolute Demonic Beast Front, their defensive strength would definitely increase greatly.
A group of people protected them to Kusa to reunite them with their families. When it was dark, he finally entered the city of Kusa, but the enthusiasm for the reunion could not be cooled down at night. Kusari burst into cheers and the earth began to tremble, and it only calmed down in the middle of the night.
It's not enough for everyone to believe that they can't calm down and rest in the second half of the night, and their excitement will last until dawn.
This was the second day after leaving Uruk, and the second night after Athena took the underworld.
That night, Roman did not rest, but sat quietly waiting for the arrival of the guests. In order to give the magician a better rest, neither Roman nor Tachika had a Servant in the room. Roman lives alone in a small room, while Rika lives with Mash.
Not knowing what time it was late at night, there was a knock on the door.
Roman said unsurprisingly, "Please come in."
When the door was opened, a girl in a cute dress appeared. She sneaked in like a little squirrel in Roman's room, and found that no one else was inside, then slipped in on tiptoe, and silently closed the door.
She seemed to realize that her actions were very indecent right away, and immediately sorted out her clothes and body posture, and said to Romani with a gesture like a darling lady: "Cough, good evening, Mr. Romani."
"Good evening, Miss Ereshkigal."
The name was a bit awkward, but Roman still remembered it.
That's right, the person here is the former mistress of the underworld, the goddess Ereshkigal.
Ereshkigal didn't say that he would appear tonight, but Roman felt that since everyone spent the night in Kusa, and Kusa was the entrance to the underworld, then Ereshkigal would definitely appear again tonight. As he could see, Ereshkigal did not disappoint her, but there was one thing Roman was really curious about.
"Miss Ereshkigal, how did you get here? You must know that this place is surrounded by our guards. Even if you are a rabbit all the time, you don't want to disturb our rest, but you can come to my place like no one else. Room."
Roman's question, Ereshkigal, was like a frightened bunny, her eyes didn't dare to stay on Roman's face, and her tone became stern: "That, that is because..."
For a moment of hesitation, Ereshkigal still did not tell Roman the answer, and Roman also decided to give up: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me, I will treat it as a special skill of the **** of the underworld. I am lucky. We are friends, not enemies, or I might die in my sleep."
When Roman gave up the questioning, Ereshkigal breathed a sigh of relief, but the next words made her nervous again: "No, no, I will not be your enemy."
"Calm down, Ereshkigal, I don't really regard you as an enemy. Otherwise, there will be more than ten heroic spirits hiding in my room tonight, and then I will order your Body piercing. It's just an analogy, we've always been friends."
Ereshkigal began to take a deep breath to calm himself down, and then looked at Roman with burning eyes: "Roman, you are such a good person."
"……"what happened? How did I suddenly become a good person?
Roman felt a little dazed, but Ereshkigal's sincere face really made it impossible to think of anything else.
"Thank you very much for your willingness to wait for me here, Roman."
Roman shook his head: "No need to thank you. In fact, I just guessed. If you don't show up after half an hour, I will go to rest."
The two had never made an agreement, and of course Roman would not spend too much energy on her guesses. On the contrary, she had to save her energy.
Roman paused for a moment and asked, "Then what's the matter with you coming out here on purpose? I don't have any special intentions. If you just want to see me, I'll be happy too."
"No, no...that...Roman is really bad-hearted."
Ereshkigal suddenly complained, which really confused Roman.
Did I say something again?
Roman looked at the pitiful Ereshkigal, not knowing what to say for a while.
However, the silence did not last long, and Ereshkigal clearly had something important to come to him.
"Mr. Roman, please help me regain the underworld."
"Of course, we will not refuse this matter. If you want to defeat Athena, you must weaken her power, and she must not continue to gain new powers."
"It's not like this, now the underworld is about to become Athena's thing." Ereshkigal almost cried, "In five days, Athena will take control of the underworld, I feel until he loses his connection to the underworld."
"Five days? Is that too fast?"
Chapter 909 Chapter 419 Bet (By the way, push the book)
Roman was also stunned by the news. According to the time, it only takes about seven days for Athena to **** a world from another main god.
However, Athena is also the master of the underworld in another world, and it is also handy to control the underworld.
Roman suddenly woke up.
It seems that he has no time. He can't go back to Uruk because he can't protect the citizens of Kusa from going to Uruk. The time of the guards is different from the actions of these people. They are just ordinary people, and there are many women and children. The speed of the march is not fast. No matter how hard she tried, it would take four days to come and go, and by that time Athena had probably completed the control of the underworld.
"Are you sure it only takes five days?"
"Probably faster. The longer the time, the better the understanding of the underworld, the faster it will be to seize control of the underworld."
The news is getting worse one by one. The time for Athena to take the underworld will only be advanced, but absolutely impossible to delay.
Roman glanced at Ereshkigal again, and the poor goddess's face seemed to have written "I am a useless goddess" as dejected.
Thinking about it too, the former master of the underworld was defeated in the underworld. The most important things were taken away by the enemy in the most advantageous place. Now that Athena has obtained the underworld, it is even more impossible for Ereshkigal to defeat Athena.
"You will definitely help me, Roman."
Ereshkigal's voice didn't have the emotion of pleading, but that glutinous voice entered Roman's ears like a spoiled child, and for some reason there was a feeling of brainwashing.
No, no, it should be said that no one will refuse her request.
——Ereshkigal is the best! ?
Ok? I didn't expect you to be such a **** of the underworld. This is really foul.
Ereshkigal reminded Roman of Mash, to be precise the former Mash, before Rika entered Chaldea. At that time, Matthew also looked timid, and depended on Roman more than anyone else, and always acted like a spoiled child to Roman unconsciously.
It's just...so cute.
"I see, I'll help you, that's our job."
This is a request that cannot be refused, but rather, it is great that Ereshkigal can bring this news. If they didn't know anything about Athena's actions, and returned to Uruk ignorantly, when they learned of Athena's plans, everything would be over.
"Why don't you spend the night here. I'll tell everyone your news tomorrow morning, and you must tell everyone about it then."
"No, no, no, no!" Ereshkigal's reaction was bigger than Roman had imagined, and when he heard his request, he immediately shook his hands, "I can't appear here."
"Huh? Why?...Is it because of Ishtar?"
Roman thought of this possibility, and only this possibility. Among the people here, except for Ishtar, they are all outsiders, and the only person who will be hated by Ereshkigal is Ishtar who once entered the underworld and was killed.
Ereshkigal did not react immediately, but hesitated for a moment before nodding, making Roman unable to understand her thoughts.
Ishtar seems to be just an excuse for Ereshkigal.
"I'm going to get out of here...I'm going to find a helper. If he's willing to help, our chances of defeating Athena become better."
"And such a strong man?"
Ishtar and Quetzal were not enough to defeat Athena either. Athena could even drive Ereshkigal, who had the underworld and even killed Ishtar, out of the underworld - to be honest, Roman was worried about whether they could defeat Athena, especially since Athena had obtained the underworld. , and also has the support of Jin Gushen.
But Ereshkigal seemed to know a strong man who could shake Athena.
"Can you tell me who it is?" Roman couldn't help but wonder, such a strong man must be a famous **** in mythology.
"I don't even know his real name..."
You don't even know who he is, how on earth are you going to find him? Can people of unknown origin really be trusted? And you...
"But I know he's been paying attention to Chaldea, so I'm sure you'll know him."
Roman didn't know what to say for a while, but he could see that Ereshkigal's character was too simple. It may be because she has lived in the underworld for a long time and rarely communicates with outsiders that leads to such a character.
——I didn’t expect such a simple goddess to fall into my hands.
Roman sighed in his heart. Facing the goddess who was about to leave, he hesitated for a while: "You must be careful. Be careful on the road, and pay attention to people of unknown origin."
Roman was unable to name his name, hoping that Ereshkigal could understand what he meant.
"Thank you for your concern, Roman, you are really a good person."
Roman accepted this good person card with peace of mind, and kindly sent Ereshkigal out of the house.
- I am such a good person.
Roman wanted to know how Ereshkigal got into the airtight temporary stronghold, but he was disappointed by the result, and he couldn't see how Ereshkigal could leave.
A goddess is a goddess, completely different from a fake Master like him.
Just as Roman was about to return to the room to rest, a meteor appeared in the sky and fell, and the speed of the fall shocked Roman. Before he could react, the "meteor" appeared in front of him.
Of course Roman won't have such a stupid ending as "killed by a meteor". It was his Servant, the goddess Ishtar, who flew down from the sky.
"It's you, Ishtar, I was taken aback by you. Why are you still racing in the sky so late? Shouldn't you have a good rest at this time?"
"This sentence should be said by me. It's already this time, and it's still running out. Don't run around, we may not be able to protect you in Kusa."
Roman was surprised to see her serious expression on Ishtar's face. Even while he was talking, he looked around cautiously, as if there would be enemies rushing towards him at any time.
Roman still knew the reason, but he still asked: "Why? Is Cusa dangerous?"
"You don't even know the common sense of Mesopotamia, right? This is Cusa, the entrance to the underworld. In other words, Cusa is the closest place to the underworld. The mistress of the underworld, Elle Shikigal is a goddess who manages the undead, and a very sinister goddess. If he is targeted, he may kill you at any time and imprison your soul in the underworld."
Roman suddenly discovered a very bad detail, that is the relationship between Ereshkigal and Ishtar.
There is no doubt that the sisters' relationship was as bad as foes, because Ereshkigal killed Ishtar.
Roman doesn't know what happened in the myth, but he still thinks that it should be Ishtar who angered Ereshkigal without knowing how. There is no reason for it, his Servant is a willful goddess, except for destroying it, he is causing trouble. And Ereshkigal is a darling lady, not only gentle, but also timid.
Putting these two together, no matter how you look at it, you can get the result, right?
If Ereshkigal and Ishtar really meet, it is definitely a picture of Mars hitting the earth. Can they really cooperate?
It is hoped that the pressure from the powerful Athena will allow them to let go of their hatred for each other and work together to defeat the strong enemy.
"Ereshkigal, shouldn't it be so bad?"
Roman still maintained Ereshkigal in a low voice. One is that the Ereshkigal he saw was indeed a gentle goddess, without the feeling of an "insidious goddess" at all. The second is to test the relationship between Ishtar and Ereshkigal, hoping to find an opportunity for them to cooperate.
"Why not? That goddess is simply the worst goddess in the world. She doesn't speak all day, she just stares at you with gloomy eyes, no matter what you say. , I'll kill you with one shot when you let down your guard. All in all, when you meet Ereshkigal, it's impossible to have a good end. If a magician like you encounters her, you can't ask for help and have to wait to die. ."
Looking at this Ishtar with the words "No one knows Ereshkigal better than me" written on his face, Roman can already be sure that Ishtar is simply alarmist. Because Roman had already spent two nights with Ereshkigal, and wanted to spend a third time.
What did you say, you willful goddess, to make Ereshkigal kill you without saying a word?
"I heard that you were once killed by Ereshkigal, right?"
"Why did you talk about this all of a sudden, I'll beat you up."
It seems to be a black history that cannot be mentioned. That's not more of a headache.
"If, I said, if, if Ereshkigal could join us, it would be great for everyone to deal with Athena. She seems to be very strong, and if she joins, I believe the odds of defeating Athena will be even better. Big."
"Huh? Just her? Don't be stupid, how could she possibly join us? From my point of view, Ereshkigal will probably stay in the underworld forever, like watching a play until the end. Whether Athena succeeds If we save the era, Ereshkigal will probably stay in the underworld gloomily. I advise you to dispel this idea, Ereshkigal is a wooden man."
I said is it really okay for you to keep blacking Ereshkigal? To know that she has come to the earth now, are you going to be killed by her a second time?
Roman did not think that Ishtar could be resurrected after being killed the second time. The most important thing is that if this Ishtar is killed, even if she can be resurrected, the Tohsaka Patriarch who is the container probably won't survive.
Ishtar looked at Roman with suspicious eyes: "I said why did you talk about her suddenly? You must have been deceived by her, right? Don't look at her as a well-behaved lady, maybe in Imprison you when you're not paying attention."
"..."
"Kusa is the entrance to the underworld. If you really fall into the underworld, no one here can save you."
"Ahem, let's get down to business, Ishtar. Wouldn't it be better if we persuaded Ereshkigal to join us? More power than anything else, Tiamat returns, Ereshkigal And the underworld cannot be preserved, I believe Ereshkigal should also understand this truth.”
"Even if you say so, do you have a way to persuade Ereshkigal?"
Ishtar's eyes gradually became dangerous, which made Roman feel bad. It seemed that if he continued to speak, the bomb in front of him would be detonated.
She jumped down from the sky boat and stared at Roman badly, which made Roman's heart tremble, thinking that Ereshkigal had discovered some flaws left by her. But after a while, Roman knew that Ishtar couldn't see anything, probably the goddess' intuition made her do it.
"How do you know if you don't try it? If you can defeat Athena and prevent Tiamat from coming back, it's okay to find a partner who can temporarily cooperate. I believe other people think the same way."
Roman felt more and more headaches, Ishtar obviously did not intend to agree to this proposal, this willful goddess is indeed a hindrance. Forget it, if it really doesn't work, just sing another double reed with Gilgamesh, and at the worst, just use the Command Spell.
"Tomorrow morning, I will make this proposal to everyone. Let's say it first. If most people agree with this proposal, you should also cooperate with us, Tohsaka, at least not to make trouble before defeating Athena."
This kind of thing should be done first. Although Roman felt that it was useless to say anything in advance, but if things really came to the last step, when Roman used the Command Spell, Ishtar would have nothing to say.
