Chapter 740: Past illnesses lead to rage, facing history and waiting for awakening
"Uruk..." Lin Qiye murmured the name, his brows furrowed.
"Hero King, are you sure? That place is now..."
"I am sure."
Gilgamesh's voice was still low, but it carried an undeniable majesty.
"There is no trace of Ishtar anywhere else except Uruk. It's just..."
"Just what?"
Wu Hen interrupted and said that he always felt that Gilgamesh was hesitant to speak, and he must be hiding some important information.
A complex emotion flashed in Gilgamesh's golden eyes, as if he was recalling some painful past.
"Uruk...is no longer the Uruk you knew."
"It's shrouded in madness."
"Crazy?" Lin Qiye and Wu Hen looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"Yes, crazy."
Gilgamesh closed his eyes, as if suppressing something.
"The fall of Ishtar left an indelible scar on Uruk."
"The people there... are consumed by despair and madness. They..."
He suddenly opened his eyes, and golden light pierced the air like a sword.
"They are no longer human."
Lin Qiye took a breath of cold air. No longer human?
What does it mean?
Could it be that Uruk has become a lair of monsters?
Wu Hen narrowed his eyes and showed an interested expression.
"Interesting... King of Heroes, could you please elaborate?"
"I'm particularly interested in the idea of 'no longer being human.'"
Gilgamesh glared at him unhappily.
"You'd better put away your evil ideas. The situation in Uruk is far worse than you think."
"If you don't want to die there, you'd better be fully prepared."
"Don't worry, I cherish my life."
Wu Hen shrugged, but there was no fear on his face.
"But, King of Heroes, after all you've said, you still haven't told me who Ishtar is?"
"You can't let us go looking for someone in the dark, right?"
Gilgamesh was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Ishtar... is my love."
"Oh? My love?" Wu Hen whistled, his eyes becoming ambiguous.
"Hero King, I didn't realize you had such a romantic affair."
"But why did your lover die? Could it be... a tragic fate?"
"Shut up!" Gilgamesh's face instantly turned gloomy, and his powerful aura made Wu Hen feel a little breathless.
"The fall of Ishtar... was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against me."
"I must find her and find out the truth!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Lin Qiye quickly tried to smooth things over.
"King of Heroes, we understand. We will do our best to find clues about Ishtar and help you uncover the truth."
"Very good." Gilgamesh's expression eased a little.
"I believe in your abilities."
"But remember my words, Uruk is dangerous, be careful."
"Understood." Lin Qiye and Wu Hen said in unison.
"Go." Gilgamesh waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen turned and left the Demon Suppression Pavilion, walking on the empty street, both of them with solemn expressions.
"It seems that this mission is not easy to accomplish." Lin Qiye sighed.
"Uruk... sounds like a hellish place."
"Hey, the more haunted the place is, the more interesting it is."
Wu Hen rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I can't wait to see what Uruk, no longer human, looks like."
"You'd better restrain yourself." Lin Qiye shook his head helplessly.
"This mission is to find Ishtar, not for you to have fun."
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Wu Hen patted Lin Qiye's shoulder and smiled meaningfully.
"But, Nanaya, do you think...this Ishtar will be a great beauty?"
"Surely the Hero King's lover can't be bad, right?"
"What are you thinking about!" Lin Qiye glared at him unhappily.
"It's already this late, and you're still thinking about these messed up things!"
Wu Hen laughed and said nothing more.
The two walked side by side on the street, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.
Uruk, this ancient and mysterious name, became their new goal.
What awaits them will be even more brutal battles and darker truths.
