The Holy Grail War of God's Blessing
Page 278
But now, with the arrival of Quetzalcoatl, this already somewhat weakened city was surrounded by dense forests again and turned into a temple city serving Quetzalcoatl.
This city, where the god Enki rose, once had an extremely tall temple of Enki, which grew together with the city of Eridu.
The Temple of Enki was built in this city before 5000 BC, but it was a small shrine less than one square meter at that time.
As Eridu became more prosperous, the temple was expanded again and again. When the last temple of Enki was built, there were already traces of 18 reconstructions under the temple.
Following the Euphrates River, Manshu soon arrived at the place where Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu first landed.
This is not an unknown city, although it seems that only ruins are left, and there are not even many ruins left, as if it is an abandoned village.
But in fact, after the city was abandoned, the remains of the buildings were moved to build the tall wall behind the city, which is the Absolute Warcraft Front Babylonia.
This is probably one of the reasons why Absolute Warcraft Front got the name Babylonia, because the name of this city is Babylon.
Of course, this is also because of the name of this land, which was later called Babylonia.
The Euphrates and Tigris rivers are separated by a large distance in the upper reaches, but they shrink together in the middle reaches, and then separate into the sea in the lower reaches.
People named the land after the two most well-known countries upstream and downstream. Lower Mesopotamia was called Babylonia and Upper Mesopotamia was called Assyria.
The place where the story unfolds now is Lower Mesopotamia. In the early dynastic period, the Mesopotamian city-states that were searched for were indeed mainly concentrated in the lower reaches, and there were only a few city-states in the upper reaches.
It was not until around 2300 BC that the city-state of Akkad in the middle reaches of the Yellow River unified the entire Mesopotamia and established the first empire in human history.
Using old building materials to build new buildings is also a very common practice, and many historical sites have been destroyed or even disappeared as a result.
Just as residents would remove bricks from the Great Wall and use them to build their own houses or other civilian buildings, many Greek temples and the Roman Colosseum also suffered greatly.
Continue moving forward and you will reach the Absolute Warcraft Front, Babylonia.
However, at this moment, there was no sight of the monsters crashing into the wall. The monsters had stopped attacking, and even the search operation by the river had gradually stopped. As the sun was about to sink into the horizon, the monsters were preparing to return to the Blood Temple to rest.
So Manshu didn't have to spend much effort and smoothly passed through this absolute monster front along the Euphrates River.
In fact, only at this moment can we more clearly realize how long this line of defense is. Between these two mountain ranges, it spans the Euphrates River and the Tigris River, completely blocking the road to Uruk.
After passing through the Absolute Warcraft Front, Mansu continued along the Euphrates River without passing through Uruk.
⑸The city of Uruk is in the middle of two rivers. If you continue walking along the river, you will see a plain. When the city of Uruk is already behind Mansu, you can see a wetland and lush forests in the distance.
7. Although there is a forest near the Blood Temple, it is a dark fir forest. Looking at it from afar, it is so gloomy that it is difficult for people to feel happy and they will unconsciously feel depressed.
But this dense forest looks extremely green, full of life and vitality, at least it does not give a bad impression.
The only person Liu needs to worry about may be the owner of this place, and this is indeed the person he needs to worry about.
③ Quetzalcoatl, this guy is undoubtedly the strongest one in the alliance of the three goddesses.
4 Coupled with the fact that the mountain heart of Tezcatlipoca was gradually beating in Mansu's body, this dense forest was undoubtedly the most dangerous place for Mansu in Mesopotamia.
"I didn't think much of it when I looked at it from a distance before, but when I got closer I realized that this forest is a bit too much."
⒉Manshu only saw the lush and vibrant colors of the dense forest, but did not realize that the trees here were somewhat unsuitable for the climate of this land.
It seems that Quetzalcoatl transformed this place thoroughly, after all, the rainfall in Mesopotamia was not enough to support these plants.
"It was unexpectedly hot and stuffy, and it made people not want to talk or even walk."
In line with the surrounding scenery, it was as humid and hot as the stereotype suggests.
This vibrant look is even more unpleasant than the cedar forest, which is at least quite cool there.
Here there is only the heat rising from the ground, the thick soil, and the sounds of various animals.
The most important thing is that the intense heat attracts a lot of flies. Apart from the extremely strong ether and the pleasant environment that makes Manshu's heart feel, there are no other benefits.
This dense forest was really not a good place. Manshu used magic and breath to dispel most of the troubles and lower the temperature.
Then I consulted fate and found the direction I should move forward.
In this dense forest, how could anyone find any direction from here? This is Quetzalcoatl's territory, and the vision is not that good.
But the guidance of fate is still of some use, and Tezcatlipoca is also considered a wizard god, so he can still perform some tricks.
Chapter 129 Ur
In this hot and humid jungle, there are not only insects and animals. This place is like the sixth singularity, Elugi, a place completely different from the outside world.
This forest operates by different rules than Uruk and creates another world with a different mythological system. To put it simply, this place can be regarded as an inherent barrier constructed by Quetzalcoatl about the memories of the Central American jungle.
There's something else lurking here, though it's not a threat or anything like that.
Right in the jungle, a brown figure was leaping through the jungle. Her movements were so fast that it was difficult for human eyes to capture her figure. We could only judge that there was something there by the sound and movement of the branches and leaves being passed by.
"Hehe, a rookie from the plains, no guide, no tomorrow! If you learn from your mistakes, you must give the locals a tip before entering the jungle, and rub your head on the ground and say, 'Good evening! Miss! Sir, would you like some black feather jade?'"
The figure was jumping back and forth in the dense forest, moving towards here at high speed, saying some incomprehensible words.
"Oh, it's a leopard. That saves me a lot of worry."
Although you may not be able to figure out the situation at first glance, once you hear the sounds and words, you will immediately know what is happening.
"Hahahaha2haha! Since you can 0 see me in 9 this situation4, 4 but am I 3 a leopard5? If you want to 6 really 4 look into it in detail, well, this is quite a headache, meow..."
"Wow!? Damn it, I was so busy thinking that I forgot where the idiot trap was! Ugh... How hateful! You actually started a war of ideas with someone you've never met, you shameless science major!"
The leopard was moving through the jungle, speaking in words that were not easily understood while continuing to jump back and forth between the trees.
It seemed that when she was thinking about what she was, she didn't have the energy to think about what she had done before. She stepped directly into the trap she had set in the woods and fell directly from the tree.
"Oh... This does look a bit embarrassing. Leopards are the most powerful, intelligent and sacred beasts. At least this is why my heart has been transformed into a leopard..."
It is indeed impossible to see the beautiful qualities of a jaguar in a purely comedian character like the Leopard Man. Even if his skin is painted black, it still cannot be seen. Things like mystery will probably be destroyed in an instant.
"Even the heart of the mountain, which was a little impatient because it entered Quetzalcoatl's territory, calmed down after seeing you. Should I say this is a good thing or a bad thing?"
Manshu crossed his hands in front of his chest, stopped moving forward, and just watched quietly as the leopard man who had fallen to the ground got up.
It can only be said that it is difficult to evaluate the situation. At least Manshu is not used to the sudden appearance of comedians.
"You, do you really know what you are?"
"Hmm... 4If I must say, I am the incarnation of the jungle , the embodiment of the great warriors, one of whom is called Leopard Master! Servant Leopard Master appears here!"
The leopard man got up from the ground, raised his hands, looked forward, and shouted with a fierce look.
"Is it because I'm too big? Or am I hiding it well? If you want to talk about a leopard, I can be considered one."
The man who picked up the leopard didn't seem to notice that Manshu patted his heart with his right hand, and the breath of the heart of the mountain permeated there. That was the Lord of the Leopards who ruled the mountains.
“Aaaah… Tezcatlipoca! Meow, yes, yes, it is indeed the aura of Tezcatlipoca, so good!”
The leopard man made a surprised sound and immediately came up to sniff carefully. To make sure that the scent she felt was that of Tezcatlipoca, she jumped directly to Manshu's side without hesitation.
"Tezcatlipoca is here to cause trouble for Quetzalcoatl again. He lives in a city deep in the jungle, and every day he captures people to practice a strange martial art with him. I think it's called wrestling."
After the Leopard Man jumped over, he immediately switched his perspective to Manshu's side without hesitation and started talking about the information about Quetzal Coatl.
"I understand that. Rather than that, why are you here? Even though you are a masterless Servant, you shouldn't run to Quetzalcoatl's territory, right? Or have you become his servant?"
However, Manshu did not really need the Leopard Man to tell him the news about the dense forest, and he needed even less news about Quetzal Coatwull.
So Manshu interrupted the Leopard Man's rapid-fire words quite quickly. Manshu's immediate interruption also allowed the Leopard Man to say a lot.
"Well... Quetzalcoatl and I are just an ill-fated relationship. I was waiting for your arrival, Tezcatlipoca, so I went to Quetzalcoatl to gather information in advance to pave the way for your arrival, Tezcatlipoca, meow!"
The leopard man explained in a panic, but he quickly thought of the reason and immediately regained his confidence.
"Tezcatlipoca, how are you going to sneak into Quetzalcoatl's temple this time? Spider silk can't be used anymore. How about turning into a person from the city ahead and blending into the offerings that Quetzalcoatl usually wrestles with?"
The Leopard Man continued to make plans, trying to quickly cover up the topic, but it was a more reliable plan.
"The city ahead? We can indeed consider doing so. We have nothing else to do, so we'll do as you say. Being able to come up with a useful plan at least doesn't disgrace your identity as a leopard. As a wise beast, continue to act wisely."
Manshu didn't think too much about it. When he heard it, he felt that this plan was indeed feasible, so he adopted it.
Mansu came to this dense forest and went to Eridu not to fight a life-and-death battle with Quetzalcoatl, but just to try his hand and weigh this goddess who was at the top of the good gods.
Quetzalcoatl can still play a significant role in the upcoming battle. As the strongest of the three goddesses, he can at least play the role of a longhorn beetle.
Besides, Manjushri was in such a state at the moment that, although he had recovered his magic power, he was still poor and helpless. It was hard to say whether he could defeat Quetzalcoatl in a real fight.
At least I have to wait until I have completed the journey, then go to the city of Uruk, or some city-state that has not been destroyed, and find some manpower to build a temple for myself.
"I'll take down Quetzalcoatl! Tezcatlipoca can give me whatever he wants, meow. I'm ready to charge into the enemy camp and cause havoc, and...charge into an earthquake and cause havoc, and so on."
The Leopard Man was very pleased to see that Manshu did not bother too much about what he was doing on Quetzalcoatl's side and adopted his plan.
"You don't need to do anything yet. Just continue to follow your own path of action and don't let Quetzal Coatl sense anything unusual or discover any mistakes."
Manshu has no intention of taking the Leopard Man with him, otherwise all these plans will be meaningless. With the Leopard Man around, any disguise will be meaningless.
"Oh, I know. I have to wait until the fight starts over at Quetzalcoatl, and then I'll send support from the jungle."
"No, no, no, that's not necessary. I asked you to continue to lurk on Quetzal Coatl's side. This time I am just here to get the bottom of things. It's not easy to defeat Quetzal Coatl. We need to plan ahead."
Although the leopard man is not without fighting power, as the incarnation of a sacred beast, the leopard man himself also has the status of a god. Although he is only a lower-level god, he also possesses considerable power.
But Manshu does not need the strength of the leopard man. If we talk about leopards, his heart is stronger, maybe even the strongest leopard.
"Transfer; qUn: 9 (+⑷⑻〃、2⑷③≌◆衣》:lin㈤Hmm. Got it, meow."
The Leopard Man suddenly lost motivation.
"But if you are discovered, or if your plan cannot be carried out normally, then the fact that you have come to Quetzalcoatl and are in the company of this bird man cannot be ignored."
However, just as the Leopard Man was about to jump onto the branch and continue walking through the dense forest, Manshu did not forget to add a sentence, causing the Leopard Man's body to suddenly stiffen in place.
"Don't meow, I..."
Just as the leopard man turned around and tried to say something more, he found that there was no one behind him.
As a leopard in the dense forest, she could no longer track down Manshu, so she could only jump back onto the branch with a heavy heart.
"Tezcatlipoca should be able to succeed. Since he fooled Quetzalcoatl before, he will surely succeed this time too."
After leaving the leopard man, Manshu directly used the power of Amon. Although using the power of Tezcatlipoca would not make a difference, he still had to reduce the exposure of Tezcatlipoca's aura here.
After all, this is Quetzalcoatl's territory, so it is better to avoid doing things that will attract the other party's attention. Amon's power should not attract the attention of any god here, so Manshu continued to call 9÷林~si〉岜缌¥贰』∥9[
Even with the guidance of fate, Manshu continued walking in the extremely humid and mosquito-infested forest for a while, and a city located in the forest appeared in his eyes.
This city is Ur, the city that took over the Sumerian kingdom after the end of the Uruk War.
After the end of Gilgamesh's reign, Uruk was ruled by seven kings before the royal power fell into the hands of Ur. However, Ur's rule was relatively short, with only four kings ruling for less than 200 years.
However, perhaps more famous than this is that the city of Ur gave birth to a prophet named Abraham. He originally lived in Ur, then moved to Haran, and finally went to Canaan.
The three city-states of Kish, Uruk and Ur held the royal power of Sumer in their hands, and the royal power of Sumer circulated among these three cities.
According to the Sumerian King List compiled during the Isin Dynasty, the Sumerian royal power was taken over by Kish after the flood, followed by Uruk and then Ur. The invasion of foreign tribes ended the First Dynasty of Ur.
The Second Dynasty of Kish defeated foreign enemies and regained the kingdom, but was defeated by other city-states again until the Kingdom of Uruk regained the kingdom. Then Ur took over the kingdom until it was defeated by foreigners again.
The Third Dynasty of Kish regained the throne, and Uruk took over the throne again, but it was no longer Ur, but Akkad that unified the whole world.
After the fall of Akkad, Uruk rose again, followed by the Third Dynasty of Ur.
The Third Dynasty of Ur was the last rule of the Sumerians and the peak of the Neo-Sumerian era.
After the Third Dynasty of Ur was destroyed by Elam on the Iranian Plateau, Mesopotamia entered a new chapter and the Sumerian era came to an end.
But that was hundreds of years later. The city of Ur was destroyed around 2000 BC.
Now the city of Ur looks quite majestic, at least from a distance it looks comparable to the distant city of Uruk.
Of course, this is also due to the dense forests growing here. The entire city seems to be embedded in the forest, or it can be said that the forest has invaded the city.
The god worshipped in the city of Ur was the moon goddess Nanna, whom the Akkadians called Sin.
The status of the moon god in the Mesopotamian region is quite high, and the mythology of the Mesopotamian region is also one of the rare places where the status of the moon god is higher than that of the sun god.
The pagoda temple dedicated to the moon god is also quite clearly visible. It is also a very famous building.
The tower temple from the Third Dynasty of Ur has been preserved relatively intact to the present day, and was also renovated during the reign of Saddam Hussein.
Although the city was fairly badly affected by the trees, other areas seemed to be unaffected.
Although the temperature is slightly higher than outside, it is still within the normal range, and the magic density is also normal, which is completely different from the forest.
The only thing is that the whole city looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. There are shrubs growing on the steps, under the pillars of various buildings, and on the walls. This is the erosion caused by the forest.
But the people here are still living a normal life, so Manshu plans to observe first to see if he can blend into the team of sacrifices captured by Quetzalcoatl to wrestle with her.
The citizens of Ur were dressed quite coolly, probably because of the temperature, and only wrapped themselves in simple cloth.
The only problem is that most of the people in this city seem to be women, and there are very few men. The men must have been given as sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl for wrestling.
