Davidian's Holy Grail War
Page 130
David smiled and didn't say much, but he still asked Merlin to explain the current timeline of Uruk to everyone so that they could have a clear understanding of what was happening.
Merlin nodded and then began to explain to everyone. When this era became a singularity, and humanity was burned away, Gilgamesh established the Northern Absolute Demonic Front, summoned a host of Servants, and Uruk was reborn as a magnificent battle city.
In this fortified city, grains were cultivated, soldiers were trained, and large-scale construction was carried out as an emergency measure to deal with disasters. A monetary system was introduced, and the city continuously resisted enemies of unknown origin. Half a year has passed since then.
“Wow, that’s amazing… While the people in America were also fighting, that was a desperate resistance after a period of destruction. But in Uruk, it’s the complete opposite; they’re fighting to prevent their world from being destroyed.”
Mashu was deeply moved by everything that was happening, seeing it as proof of human courage and emotion—standing up for what was important against all unreasonable enemies.
"Well, that's also because the timing was good. If it had been any later in your American era, it would have been a direct confrontation between the American people and the Celtic army."
Fortunately for Uruk, King Gilgamesh had grown up and returned.
Having ended his quest for immortality, his mental state underwent a change. This was something that Siduri or Davidian would be aware of.
Merlin answered their questions, and his words were indeed accepted by Siduri.
Davidian couldn't help but recall the young Gilgamesh and then compare him to the Gilgamesh of today...
Indeed, that arrogance has subsided considerably. Although he still has the mindset of putting himself above others, he is not as aggressive as he used to be.
This is normal, though. Like our king who possesses dragon blood and a dragon heart, Gilgamesh, who is two-thirds god and one-third human, is an anomaly.
Upon hearing this, Ritsuka couldn't help but ask, "So, does that mean Enkidu is really dead?"
Chapter 238 The Party Ends
This statement silenced everyone for a brief thirty seconds before Siduri finally broke the silence:
"So you've already met Enkidu. That's right, the king watched him die and buried his body in the underworld."
I have never seen anyone as beautiful yet sorrowful as him. Though he was a puppet created by the gods, he was shattered along with the heart after obtaining it.
But then she changed the subject and said, "So we absolutely do not believe that the current existence is Enkidu. The people of Uruk all know the Enkidu of the past."
He dared to advise King Gilgamesh, allowing the king, who was destined to die alone, to experience the joy of conversation. Although he regarded his own stubbornness as a tool, he was strict with himself.
But in my opinion, he was a gentle and kind person, someone who would never do anything to destroy Uruk.
"I obtained a heart, yet it was shattered along with it..." Mashu murmured to herself, but she still pressed on with the question.
"No, the more crucial question now is, does King Gilgamesh know about this? Does he know that his deceased friend... his imposter has become an enemy?"
“I know, I reported it to him personally,” Davidian said, turning to Mash.
“It would be my dereliction of duty not to report something like this. Mashu, what I’m about to say is not a joke.”
If I don't stop that fake Enkidu, everyone on the North Wall might be slaughtered by him within a day, which is absolutely unacceptable.
That's why I rarely leave the North Wall; I have to be there. If it weren't for your arrival today, I would still be on duty at the North Wall.
Davidian's words silenced the group; the power of divinely created weapons was no joke. However, to ease the tension, Davidian then added:
"However, Gilgamesh's attitude towards this matter was quite indifferent, and he could even quickly analyze what Enkidu was made of. He didn't seem sad or angry."
He helped Gilgamesh conceal his true feelings, but in reality, he was still sad.
However, he didn't know exactly why he was sad. In short, David felt that he was not able to figure out Gilgamesh's thoughts well. It was too difficult and also meaningless.
"Hahaha! Regardless of King Gilgamesh's mood, I'm glad he's able to handle the current situation calmly."
Uruk has been able to hold on until now because King Gilgamesh accomplished such a heavy task.
If he had abandoned his position as a wise king and instead gone out as a hero king, Uruk would have been destroyed.
I really wanted to avoid this outcome, because if Uruk were destroyed, we wouldn't be able to drink ale or go to brothels..."
David slammed Merlin's head onto the table with lightning speed to prevent him from saying what he was about to say.
Can't this old lecher be a little more serious at a time like this? There are children here!
Gilgamesh secretly told him that he had received a complaint from a brothel in Uruk, saying that Merlin was engaging in strange sexual harassment there.
If it weren't for the fact that this old lecher still has a lot of use, he would have been sent back to the Inner Sea of the Stars long ago.
Fou was also attacking Merlin's cheek repeatedly with her front paws. It was rare for David to be able to control Merlin directly, so Fou was going to take revenge on him.
"I understand, but we must also reveal that guy's true identity."
After thinking it over, Ritsuka also said these words, and the others nodded in agreement, since this was something they had to do.
However, David clapped his hands and said to the people in front of him, "Those are indeed things that must be done, and we will not forget them."
But that's a matter for the future. You haven't had a proper rest since you moved here from Lingzi, have you?
"I'll just get a good night's sleep in this embassy tonight. Whatever I want to say, whatever I need to do later, I'll leave it for tomorrow."
As he spoke, he released Merlin's head, and Merlin immediately raised his body and said, "That's right, that's right, but I have some things to investigate and will be away for a while."
If anything happens during this time, please ask Lady Siduli for help.
See, even Anna is asleep. I'm entrusting her to you all. Although she often says she hates humans, it doesn't go as far as hatred.
On the contrary, it's because I'm afraid of humans that I want to keep my distance. Ritsuka, you should understand what I mean, right?
After listening to his words, Ritsuka carefully recalled the events that had occurred in the previous singularities.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Asterius and Euryale, and suddenly he understood the connection between them.
He then nodded to Merlin, indicating that he would take care of everything.
Merlin immediately broke into a pleased smile, and then he ran away right in front of everyone, saying as he ran that a girl he knew very well was waiting for him.
Davidian sometimes really wanted to kill him, but in the end he always decided to let it go.
Don't get angry about Merlin; it's not worth it.
After saying their goodbyes, everyone went back to their own places to rest. Ritsuka and the other two naturally stayed at the Chaldea embassy.
Meanwhile, David will lead the others back to the North Wall. The drunk Leonidas will be carried by Kotaro and Tomoe Gozen, but Tomoe Gozen says that she can handle it all by herself.
Leonidas's weight was nothing compared to her strength.
"How was it? Did you enjoy dinner, Gareth?" Morgan's voice came from beside him, and Gareth immediately replied happily:
“Of course, Mother. Ritsuka and Mash are both very good people. They fought hard to save humanity and have come this far. I really want to help them, at least to help them repair this singularity and retrieve the Holy Grail.”
"Really? Then work hard, Gareth. You are always so bright and warm, like the rising sun on the horizon."
Davidian picked up the conversation and went on to praise his only daughter, which made Gareth a little embarrassed.
She always felt that Davidon spoiled her too much, but Davidon thought it was only right, and he always spoke highly of Gareth.
However, when he thought about the current situation in Uruk, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
None of the three goddesses made a move, and without making a move, there was naturally no countermeasure. The northern goddess of monsters only claimed to be Tiamat, and it was still unknown whether she was truly Tiamat.
The current situation is shrouded in mystery. If the current circumstances allowed, he would really like to go there himself to see what the situation is like in the dense forest and the north, and figure everything out so that he can decide on the next course of action.
Chapter 239 Peeking into the Future
After that, David returned to the North Wall, but he still occasionally heard that Ritsuka and the others were busy running around Uruk, handling all sorts of odd jobs for this family and that family.
Gareth would often see a joyful and gratified smile on David's face.
For some reason, Gareth even felt that Davidian had been smiling more during this period than he had in the previous six months.
Today, the Chaldea group arrived at the North Wall to participate in the training organized by King Leonidas. Ritsuka was so exhausted that he sat down to rest in the shadows of the North Wall, with Anna sitting beside him.
Mashu, on the other hand, was still full of energy and sparred with Gareth. Both of them were skilled with shields, so it was only natural that they would fight each other to gain experience.
David walked towards Ritsuka with a smile and handed him the water bottle from his waist. Ritsuka thanked him and drank heartily without any hesitation. David laughed loudly at him.
After Ritsuka returned the water bottle to him, David patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Young people should be like this, eating and drinking heartily and growing strong. It's truly delightful. It's definitely a good thing that the last Master of Humanity is someone like you."
"Mr. David, the Holy Grail inside you isn't actually the Magic King's Holy Grail, is it? It's actually King Gilgamesh's own collection, isn't it?"
At this moment, Ritsuka asked a question that had been on his mind for a long time, since some time had passed since the first day.
After careful consideration, Ritsuka naturally guessed these facts through some details, which is why he is now confirming them with David.
Davidian gave a rather wicked smile before saying, "Oh dear, you finally noticed? Sorry, we put on a show with Gilgamesh and Merlin that day to fool you all."
I was worried my acting skills might be exposed, but it seems you guys were really tired on your first day and didn't have time to think about those details.
As expected, you all knew we had misunderstood back then, but no one pointed out the mistake.
Merlin is a despicable and shameless fellow, so even if we press him for answers, he certainly won't say anything.
King Gilgamesh would probably be angry and say, "Don't compare his stuff to the Magic King's!"
Dr. Roman's voice came again. David felt that the voice was familiar, but at the same time he noticed the weakness in the tone.
"Roman, I'm not saying this to be mean, but you really need to get some rest. Are you really okay? I feel like you're starting to break down, both in your soul and your body. Go eat some bananas and get some rest."
Davidian couldn't hold it in any longer. He really wanted Roman to be forced to sleep for 24 hours, because he felt that something was wrong with Roman's condition.
Thank you for your concern, David. But don't worry, I've been getting plenty of rest, and I've also been getting emotional support from my online idol, Magical★Merry. So don't worry, I'm doing fine.
Roman's words reassured David a little, putting his mind at ease regarding Romain's condition...
Wait a minute? Wait, wait a minute! What the heck? Magical★Merry?
