That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Hall looked around: "They barely made it through. Leonidas has already gone back to Uruk?"

Leonidas I did not come immediately, so he was probably not on the north wall.

Tomoe Gozen looked Olga Marie up and down with curiosity. Her clothes were clearly out of date. "Yes, he led the group of fugitives to Uruk to report to the king. By the way, who is this person next to you?"

“Her identity is rather complicated. I need to take her to meet King Gilgamesh in person.”

"No problem. The north wall is relatively safe now. Even if something unexpected happens, I can handle it on my own."

"That's good."

After exchanging greetings, Hall took Olga Marie to Uruk.

On the way, Olga Marie couldn't help but ask, "Was that person a Servant?"

"Yes."

"So, the Holy Grail really is..."

Hall shook his head: "I know what you're trying to say. Those are the servants summoned by King Gilgamesh. There are seven of them."

"Summoned by King Gilgamesh!?"

"Olga Marie, you and Fujimaru Ritsuka have already resolved three singularities, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, let me give you some advice first. Only the Holy Grail of this era was personally delivered by the Magic King. This is the Age of Gods, the origin of human civilization, and it is fundamentally different from all the singularities you have experienced before. The degree of distortion of the singularities here is such that even the Magic King cannot interfere."

"The singularities you solved before were as simple as children playing house in the eyes of the Magic King."

"..."

Olga Marie bit her thin lips, wanting to retort that eliminating each singularity was the result of Chaldea's utmost efforts, but faced with Hall's serious and profound gaze, she swallowed all the words she wanted to say.

Hall was not completely unaware of the situation at Chaldea; he had previously demonstrated foresight and great strength, and everything he said had been proven true.

Hall led Olgamori to the gates of Uruk and showed his identification to the soldiers.

"Commander!"

The guards were filled with respect and no longer questioned Hall about the strangely dressed woman he was with.

Upon entering Uruk, Olga Marie, seeing the bustling streets, covered her mouth and gasped in disbelief: "This is... Uruk?! How is this possible! How can there be such a large city in this era!"

In modern historical records, the so-called Kingdom of Uruk may not have been even the size of a modern village.

Joan of Arc's voice rang out, equally astonished: "Even in my time, it would be difficult to see a city of such a scale."

“Generally speaking, it’s impossible. Don’t forget this is the Age of Gods. Let’s go, but don’t stray too far from me. If you get lost, you’ll be arrested as a suspicious person.” Hall pulled Olga Marie away.

"etc···"

They arrived at the temple without any hindrance, showed their identification to the guards, entered the temple, climbed the steps, and entered the main hall where King Gilgamesh was located. From afar, they could hear King Gilgamesh's clear and solemn commands.

"Distribute fifty refugees to the armory and have more weapons made and transported to the North Wall."

"The thirty male refugees were assigned to the stone houses. Now, the most important thing is timing. The intelligence update is imminent, and more clay tablets are needed for recording."

"The remaining men were assigned to the north wall to provide logistical support to the soldiers stationed there."

"Increase the military budget."

"The mission was completed well. We have taken a sufficient amount of gold from the treasury to reward the soldiers."

Hall led Olga Marie into the main hall, immediately attracting King Gilgamesh's attention. He put down the stone slab, stared at Hall with his red eyes, and said with interest, "Wow, you're back so soon, magician."

After a pause, her gaze shifted to Olga Marie, and she said in a detached tone, "And she brought along some strange guests."

Hall complained, "You really know how to order people around. You already knew that the weapon that inherited Enkidu's body would appear there, right? That's not something a second-rate magician like me can handle."

King Gilgamesh sat on his throne and said disdainfully, "I don't know. I don't have time to meddle in other people's business. I heard about the mission report from Leonidas. If it's about seeking a reward, the Holy Grail is not a treasure that can be granted so easily."

“I know that this audience was just to bring her here to say hello to you.”

Gilgamesh narrowed his crimson eyes: "What is your relationship with the observatory?"

"Let's consider him a former employee; he's been fired for neglecting his duties."

"Hmph, that really suits your image. Let me remind you, if you neglect your duties under my command, the consequences won't be as simple as just being fired."

Hall shrugged. "I know."

"So, the magicians at the observatory don't even have the most basic etiquette for an audience with the king?" King Gilgamesh didn't even look at Olga Marie.

Olga Marie glanced at Hall, stepped forward gracefully, bowed and said, "I am very sorry, as I have only recently arrived in this era and am not yet fully adapted. Joan of Arc, dispel the spirit form."

"Yes." The pure white saintess appeared and bowed along with her master.

"We are Masters from Chaldea."

King Gilgamesh said impatiently, "I know everything, including why you came here and my records of your Spirit Origin."

Olga Marie looked up in surprise.

"..."

King Gilgamesh stood up and waved his hand, ordering, "You have truly disappointed me. What last hope of mankind? She's nothing but a little girl who knows nothing. Hall, what do you mean by bringing them here? Are you trying to squeeze out my precious sleep time to take care of a little girl?"

Olga Marie stood up excitedly, but Hall stopped her with a gesture.

Hall smiled and said, "That's why I told her to come over and say hello."

"Humph."

King Gilgamesh snorted coldly, "Commander of the North Wall, your performance has exceeded my expectations. You have single-handedly built a complete defense system for the North Wall. According to the reports of the two commanders, there is currently no possibility of the North Wall being breached by magical beasts."

"It is an honor to receive the king's praise."

"Now is a critical moment. Everyone has their own value and role. Now that the North Wall is safe, from now on, you are no longer the commander of the North Wall. I hereby appoint you as the special investigator of Uruk City, responsible for investigating unnatural deaths in Uruk City. The relevant information will be given to you by Siduri later."

"As ordered."

King Gilgamesh picked up the stone tablet again to examine it, glancing at Olga Marie and Joan of Arc out of the corner of his eye: "Also, since you brought them here, you shall take care of them. Until they prove their worth to me, they are not even qualified to be citizens of Uruk."

······

Leave the palace.

Olga Marie flew into a rage, complaining angrily, "What's going on! That Hero King! Isn't he exactly like the legends?! Such an arrogant attitude! Can't he just speak like a normal person?"

"How dare you call me a clueless little girl!"

"I am the director of Chaldea!"

If someone could speak properly, they wouldn't be the King of Heroes. In fact, most Heroic Spirits don't know how to speak properly.

Hall chuckled and said, "Don't let his appearance fool you, he's much better than before. He's the Hero King who returned after experiencing the Elixir of Immortality."

"Sigh." Olga Marie sighed in frustration, knowing that complaining wouldn't solve anything.

Chapter 368 Farewell to Leonardo da Vinci

Hall waited quietly in the kingdom's hall. Soon, the high priestess Siduli, dressed in a long green dress, greeted him gently: "Your Excellency Hall, I have already heard about this from the king."

"High Priestess Siduri, does the King have any plans?" Hall nodded in greeting.

"Your Excellency Hall will be staying in Uruk from now on. Do you have accommodation?"

"Not at the moment."

“There are dormitories in Uruk specifically set up for the king’s direct subordinates. You can go there if you don’t mind.”

Hall nodded: "As long as there's a place to stay."

Currently, housing is scarce in Uruk. With the increasing number of refugees, it is almost impossible to find a place to stay. Therefore, King Gilgamesh had no choice but to arrange for the refugees to settle in the North Wall.

“Ah, it seems there’s only one room left there now.” Siduri looked at Olga Marie and Joan of Arc, somewhat embarrassed.

A house?

If the storyline continues as it is, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Merlin also live there, so there should be enough rooms.

Wait, the Servant summoned by Gilgamesh seems to still be around.

Characters like Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Tomoe Gozen, and Fuma Kotaro.

Hall understood.

Olga Marie bit her thin lips and remained silent. Gilgamesh's words had made it clear that they were not considered important by the king and were merely appendages of Hall. All decision-making power rested with Hall, not her.

They don't even have the right to complain.

Hall nodded and said, "It won't have much of an impact."

“I’ll take you there now. Oh, and here you go.” High Priestess Siduri handed Hall a gold plaque covered in cuneiform script.

"It contains the sacrificial site and the king's identity certificate, which can be considered a special identity document. As long as you have it, you will have a status in Uruk that is equivalent to being second only to the king. Please be careful not to use it for anything that would damage the king's glory, and do not do anything disrespectful to the goddess."

Hall casually asked, "Is the city god of Uruk Ishtar?"

High Priestess Siduli nodded, her voice soft yet undeniably serious: "Your Excellency Hall, you are an outsider and unfamiliar with the customs of Uruk. To address the goddess by her name is a grave disrespect. Please refrain from doing anything similar in the future."

“I have met her before, and I don’t think it’s offensive for me to call her by her first name.”

High Priestess Siduri exclaimed in astonishment, "You've seen the goddess!?"

"Just a short while ago, to be precise, a little over two hours ago, my strength was not yet at the level to be able to match that Enkidu. After this mission, I was seriously injured, and I was fortunate enough to be taken to Mount Aibif for treatment."

High Priestess Siduli nodded tactfully yet generously, saying, "I see. That goddess is probably not the type to meddle in other people's business. If such a thing really happened, the goddess must like you quite a bit. If it is the goddess's permission, it is fine to call the goddess by her name in private, but please be considerate of the dignity of our sacrificial site in public."

She is generous and poised, and knows how to navigate social situations with ease. No wonder she is the only woman who can manage Jin Shanshan.

Hall thought to himself, "No problem."

High Priestess Siduri led Hall to a detached house on the central street and bowed slightly: "This is your residence. Please make your use of it. If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please let me know. Now, please allow me to take my leave, as I still need to arrange the resettlement of the refugees."

After High Priestess Siduri left, Olga Marie, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, finally spoke up: "When she said 'use it freely,' she meant that I could use it too, right?"

Hall rolled his eyes at her: "No, I think that was directed at me. As for you, Director, you're practically my servant."

"Don't push your luck." Olga Marie's face darkened.

"Okay, what are you planning to do?"

"Need I say more? Of course, it's about setting up array points to contact Chaldea, establishing communication channels, and determining the coordinates of the spirit particles."
