The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

Under such circumstances, and with a lingering sense of guilt towards Enkidu in her heart, Orpheus naturally had a complex feeling towards Enkidu, making it difficult for her to refuse her, at least in such a small matter.

Orpheus can analyze various kinds of knowledge and information in a very organized way, but she is completely clueless when it comes to issues involving emotions and feelings.

"Fate..."

Orpheus's eyes began to glaze over again, and he murmured softly.

"Hey, little Orpheus, let's go out and take a look!"

However, the cheerful voice pulled her back to reality.

With his hands behind his back, Enkidu looked at Orpheus with a smile, then extended one hand in invitation.

Fine, I'll give it a try... Let's try to get along well?

Orpheus thought to himself as he placed his hand in Enkidu's.

────────────────────────────────

"Oh, my king, he's so adorable~~"

"Your Majesty...would you like to try some...?"

"Your Majesty...there is..."

"Your Majesty...look here..."

Along the way, Orpheus was greeted by many people.

Although she is mostly expressionless, Orpheus's personality is inherently indifferent, so she doesn't exude that 'keep away' aura when she's not serious. Combined with her cute girl appearance, she charms many Uruk women.

As for his previous indifference to worldly affairs, not many people actually blamed him.

After all, in their view, Wang was still young and it was normal for him not to know how to do things, and besides, he did take action when faced with a crisis, didn't he?

And the other girl who is now following the king must be the one who guides the king, right?

In that sense, he is a virtuous person worthy of respect.

and……

She's a bit more mature than Wang, but she's still so beautiful!!!

After a chaotic scene, Enkidu managed to pull Orpheus out of the human ranks with great difficulty.

"Haha...that's really impressive."

Even when surrounded by a crowd, Enkidu still smiled gently.

Looking at that gentle smile, for some reason, Orpheus felt a deep, familiar feeling emanating from the depths of her soul...

It seems like a long, long time ago... someone smiled at her like that...

It felt very safe, warm, and peaceful.

Just like the place where she was born...

Even more...

"How about it?"

At that moment, Enkidu's question suddenly rang in Orpheus's ears, interrupting him.

"Is everyone happy?"

"Hmm, she seems quite happy."

Orpheus nodded in response.

"Enkidu, why do you ask that?"

"Little Orpheus, don't you want to protect this smile and peace?"

"……I don't understand."

Enkidu received this answer from Orpheus.

"Haha, that's true, it's not that easy."

Orpheus fell silent.

To her, the scene just now, and the entire city-state, were far too lively and noisy.

For someone who cherishes tranquility, this was practically poison.

but……

Deep down, she felt a sense of 'this isn't so bad either'.

The outside world is chaotic, but my heart is at peace.

She really doesn't understand.

Since that's the case...

Now that we are far from being able to reach the great red, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to observe a little more?

And... aside from those seemingly joyful scenes...

"Enkidu".

"Ok?"

"That is?"

As Orpheus asked the question, he pointed to a corner where several people were sitting cross-legged with their heads down.

The shadows in the corner and the sunlight so close by created a stark contrast.

From her memory, she roughly knew who those people were, but she still wanted to confirm.

"Ah...it exists too..."

Enkidu scratched her head. Having the knowledge of the divine prostitute she once possessed, she understood this era much better than Orpheus, who was completely clueless.

"Those who have lost everything for some reason can only hide in the shadows and beg for survival..."

"Yeah……"

Even in a town that seems so cheerful, are there people like this?

"If Little Orpheus were more serious, there would definitely be fewer people like that."

Seeing Orpheus's thoughtful expression, Enkidu smiled and said.

Orpheus did not answer; humans were still largely irrelevant to her.

However, she always felt that the presence of these people made this city-state, which she felt was quite nice, lose a lot of its charm.

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Orpheus turned around and headed towards the palace.

"Huh? Are we just going home like this?"

Enkidu seemed to still have more to say, pouting as he asked Orpheus.

"Well, there's nothing left to see."

"Really? What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this question, Orpheus paused for a moment, then continued walking.

"Maybe... I'm a little happy."

"Ugh?"

"Seeing them happy makes me a little happy too."

Seeing your smile makes me even happier.

Orpheus did not say this aloud.

Watching Orpheus's departing figure, Enkidu smiled gently, then quickly followed after him.

"Then, shall we go out together again next time?"

"...We'll talk about it later."

As the sun set, their shadows grew longer and longer until they finally met.

Chapter 9 Approaching Shadows

Enkidu undoubtedly loved humanity.

Although she loves all other things in nature more than humans, that does not negate the fact that she loves humans.

Under Enkidu's influence, Orpheus also tried to observe this race, which Enkidu described as 'interesting,' from a more intimate perspective.

In Orpheus's view, the individual mind of humans is too fickle; the idea confirmed one second may be abandoned the next, unlike the single-mindedness of dragons or gods.

This can also be attributed to the difference in lifespan. After all, in the long lifespan of long-lived species, if one's thinking jumps too fast, one might go crazy at any time.

But apart from that, the human race also contains characteristics of almost all other races.

Some people are more obscene than succubi, and some are more virtuous than angels.

Some people are even more greedy than dragons, while others regard money as dirt.

Some people have a stronger will than the proud gods, while others can be easily defeated.

Some people possess terrifying talents and aptitudes that even higher races can only dream of, while others, no matter how hard they try, can only remain silent and unknown among the masses for their entire lives.

Some people possess a kindness that transcends sainthood.

Some people possess an evil that surpasses even that of the devil.

Orpheus also remembered the world she was originally born into.

According to her memories, after countless years, both demons and angels chose new blood from among humans. Even the so-called divine artifacts created by the gods... including the 'God Destroyer Gear' which, once fully mastered, could even destroy the gods, could only be controlled by those with human blood.

She thought of Cao Cao again, that human who attempted to use his human body to control gods and demons.

In the original timeline, even the governor of the fallen angels was defeated by him after he found a weakness.

She even managed to sever her infinity and steal her power through scheming. Even though Cao Cao at that time was someone she could easily crush.

Although his actions are annoying and somewhat childish, one has to admire his willpower.
