After savoring it carefully, Enkidu stood up, turned around, looked at Ian and said.
"It seems... that Humbaba has been here."
"..."
[Do you know what the "Humbaba" mentioned by Enkidu is?]
[It was a beast that had lived with her. It had the appearance of a lion, but it had several tails that were unusual for other beasts.]
【but--】
[Humbaba, you clearly didn't come to Uruk last time, so why are you here this time?]
"..."
As if seeing Ian's troubles, Enkidu walked up to him and stretched out his fingers, which were stained with a little mud, in front of him.
"Give it a try."
"You'll see what I mean."
"..."
Although Ian had some complaints about what Enkidu had done, since she said so, he naturally couldn't help but give her some face.
He took her finger into his mouth and licked it gently.
"and then?"
"What do you want to say—"
"Will this make me feel anything?"
Ian was still waiting for Enkidu to say something refreshing, but then he saw an unexpected scene.
After Ian licked Enkidu's fingers, she took them back and gently tasted the taste on them.
"It doesn't make you feel anything—"
"but……"
"I can……"
"Is this what you taste like? Mixed with the soil, it's really interesting."
"..."
Knowing that Enkidu didn't mean to explain anything in this way, but just wanted to do it, he did it.
"Enkidu, please don't joke around at a time like this, okay?"
"Is this a joke?"
Enkidu leaned forward slightly, almost pressing his entire body against Ian.
"Then...I'm sorry."
"..."
"okay."
Ian stopped Enkidu's apology offensive and brought the matter back to the original focus.
"Enkidu, how did you determine that the reduction in the yield of this land was related to Humbaba?"
"..."
"You care about this..."
Enkidu turned around and looked at the land that looked barren just by looking at it.
"Well... because Humbaba himself would do this kind of thing."
"It can not only make the land that should have become barren gradually fertile, but it can also make the fertile land gradually lose its original appearance."
"..."
There is naturally no reason to question Enkidu's words.
On the one hand, it's because she really can't lie;
On the other hand, Ian actually had this feeling a long time ago.
Enkidu had no intelligence, so even if all the weapons in Uruk were concentrated by her, she would still come here as openly as before, without the slightest fear;
Because for her, the concept of "danger" does not exist at all, so naturally there is no such thing as fear.
but--
Humbaba is different.
While it was setting up the weapons, it did not come with Enkidu to Uruk to meet the king there.
That's right...
Enkidu's words were accurate.
If you think about it this way, the disappearance of the people of Uruk was most likely done by Humbaba.
"..."
Seeing that Ian was deep in thought again, Enkidu reached out his hand, poked Ian, and asked;
"that--"
"It's a terrible thing that the land is in the way it is now, right?"
"of course."
Ian answered without hesitation.
"Isn't the reason we are freeing ourselves from the control of the gods so that the output of the land can belong entirely to the people?"
"If things continue like this, they will also suffer from famine."
"..."
"I understand."
Enkidu nodded thoughtfully, and then, under Ian's gaze, she bent down again and came into close contact with the land.
Only this time, Enkidu was no longer "tasting" the land, but the other way around.
In Ian's sight, the man saw that the girl in front of him was, in some unspeakable way, transforming her body into the most primitive dust, returning to the earth bit by bit.
Simple, orderly, but efficient.
Enkidu's body returned to the land bit by bit, making the originally barren land gradually return to its rich state after getting rid of the gods.
The whole process was smooth and there didn't seem to be any pause at all.
"This……"
Ian walked to Enkidu's side and was rarely surprised to see the land return to its original appearance.
"Enkidu, what have you done?"
"nothing."
The girl shook her head.
"It's just that I did what Humbaba did in reverse."
"After all... whatever it does, I will do too."
"..."
After all, we are still "companions" living together.
They still influence each other to some extent.
only……
Since Enkidu doesn't want to admit this, there's no need for me to point it out.
"Then it seems that as long as you are here, these lands will eventually return to their original state, right?"
"Yeah." Enkidu nodded, confirming Ian's statement.
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
Ian found that after answering him like this, Enkidu just looked at him straight, as if he wanted to say something.
No matter where he looked, she would go in that direction and stand there, leaning towards Ian.
Finally, even the man with great privileges couldn't stand it at this moment.
"..."
"Enkidu, what do you want?"
"I want to be patted on the head—" the girl suddenly said.
"Want to be patted on the head?"
"Yeah." Enkidu nodded, then just stared at Ian motionlessly, "I just really want you to touch my head, and then hear you say that I'm great at restoring the land."
"Is this kind of thing allowed?"
"..."
Ian never expected that the reason Enkidu stopped him was that he wanted to be patted on the head.
And judging from her attitude, it seems that she doesn't know why she wants to be touched on the head, but simply feels that doing so is a sign of her good intentions.
but--
The more straightforward Enkidu was, the more amusing Ian found it.
The reason is also very simple:
He is the king of Uruk, and everything around him is built under the name of "king".
So--
How much of it comes from other people's true feelings, and how much is just a show that they have to show in order to maintain respect for themselves?
Ian couldn't tell.
only……
At least the Enkidu in front of him was real.
This truth should not be ignored.
"I understand."
Ian reached out and stroked Enkidu's head.
Although she is made of clay, her hair is so soft and delicate.
"Well done, Enkidu."
"..."
The girl didn't say a word, but suddenly threw herself into Ian's arms.
If there is a person transformed from a cat in the world, it must be her at this moment.
only--
Before the two of them could remain affectionate in this way for long.
With a roar, it crossed the sky of Uruk.
Something is approaching this city!
