The next day.
When the sun rose from the east, Rozen and his entourage finally arrived at Uruk.
As the center of this era and the world's largest fortress city, one could only imagine how grand and luxurious it was.
Because the Sumeer people had appeared on the stage of history around 4000 BC, after more than a thousand years of development, their civilization had already matured.
Mankind's oldest urban civilization, the Sumerian civilization, began when the Sumerian people broke away from the village society of thousands of people living together. Irrigation and farming allowed grain production to increase, and from then on, they gradually formed urban countries with tens of thousands of people.
Although the scale was not as large as a modern country, after becoming a country of this scale, writing was naturally invented. At the same time, higher education was taught. Although nature did not benefit from the wood, the fertile land surrounded by two large rivers could produce high-quality soil. This allowed the Sumeer people to use the clay extracted from the soil to build all kinds of tools, buildings, and even fortresses.
Therefore, it was a country of clay, wheat, and sheep.
Then, as the oldest fortress city of mankind, Uruk was also the most prosperous in the world.
At this moment, even though it was a time of war, the market of Uruk was still as lively as ever.
Shouts could be heard everywhere.
The sound of hammering on metal pieces could be heard continuously.
Smoke that seemed to be produced by the forging of weapons rose from all directions.
People dressed in coarse clothes were moving about in such a city. They were either setting up various stalls and shops, yelling constantly, or hurriedly carrying out work such as forging iron and transportation, creating a market scene that couldn't even be compared to the bustling city in the modern world.
"It's so … so lively!"
Standing in front of the gate of Uruk, looking at the bustling city, including Rozen and everyone in Chaldea, everyone seemed to be stunned, and they couldn't help but make such a sound.
Even Anna, who had been quiet and did not interact with anyone along the way, was stunned by the scene in front of her. She had a blank expression on her face.
"This … this is the ancient Mesopotamian Uruk?!"
"Why is it so lively?!"
"It's clearly a time of war, and they're going against God, yet the humans here can still maintain such vitality. It's unbelievable!"
The voices of Olga Marie, Da Vinci, and Roman were heard from the communicators. One could imagine that they were also shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Is this really an environment created by a 2600 BC civilization?"
Rozen couldn't hide the surprise on his face either.
Originally, Rozen thought that since it was ancient times almost five thousand years ago, even if an urban civilization had been formed, it should be very simple and sloppy.
In fact, the city in front of everyone was indeed not as modern as it was. There were no paved roads, and there were no skyscrapers. There were only sandy streets that had been renovated, and almost all the buildings were made of clay. They looked like mud houses, and even the stalls and shops were very simple. This told everyone that this was undoubtedly an ancient city.
But regardless of whether it was the market or the fields, there were people working energetically and orderly.
The degree of liveliness and the rules of the layout were not inferior even in modern times.
"How is it? Do you feel that it's an eye-opener? "
Merlin seemed to be anticipating the shocked expressions of the crowd. Seeing their stunned expressions, he immediately spoke with great satisfaction.
"This is Uruk. There's no doubt about it. Since it's called the oldest civilization of mankind, as the first civilized society in human history, and the origin of human civilization in the future, it's only natural that it would be so lively and lively, isn't it?"
After all, the civilization of the future was built on the foundation of this civilization. Therefore, the shadow of the civilization of the future could be seen in this current civilization.
"In the future, this civilization will continue to develop, and sooner or later, it will become a society and environment that you're familiar with. You'd better cherish the opportunity to witness the origin of everything."
As he said that, Merlin raised the staff in his hand and pointed it forward.
"Look, that divine tower in the center of Uruk is the temple of the city, and at the same time, it's also the palace of the king. It also serves as a sacrificial ground, but now that the god of the city is not here, it's basically become King Gilgamesh's bedchamber."
Hearing that, the crowd looked over.
The first thing they saw was a pyramid-shaped temple. Just as Merlin said, it was located in the center of Uruk, looking majestic and holy.
The streets in Uruk were all connected in all directions, converging at the square where the temple was located. The closer they got to the temple, the more majestic the layout of the buildings. Finally, there were even stone bricks laid on the roads, making the city center where the temple was located appear unusually prosperous.
"Let's go see the king." Merlin smiled at the crowd and advised, "However, you'd better be mentally prepared."
Mentally prepared for what?
Of course, mentally prepared for the difficulty of communicating with the oldest hero and king of mankind.
"Although it's the Wise King who has completed his exploration of the underworld and awakened his immortality, no matter what, he's still the Hero King, the most terrifying tyrant, the most arrogant and merciless arbiter. It's definitely not an easy task to have an equal conversation with the king. You might even be seen as an enemy and killed on the spot. If you don't want the worst to happen, you'd better think about what to do."
Merlin said as if it was a serious matter. Matthew could not help but gulp as her expression tensed up.
Rozen's eyes also flickered slightly.
As for Anna, she had already recovered from her state of shock. Looking at the lively and bustling city before her, she suddenly lowered her head.
"I won't go," Anna said in a low voice. Anna said in a low voice, "I don't want to go to a human gathering place and meet the human king."
After that, Anna wanted to turn around and leave.
Merlin did not stop her.
No, it should be said that he had already predicted Anna's reaction.
Therefore …
"Oh? Is that a good idea? " Merlin shook his head and said, "If you leave this place now, it's impossible for you to break through the Magical Beast Army's military formation and see the Goddess with your strength alone, much less defeat the Magical Beast Goddess. Even so, do you still want to leave?"
Hearing that, Anna's footsteps stopped.
"Your goal is to defeat the goddess, isn't it? That's why you came to an agreement with me, isn't it? " Merlin said in a seductive tone, "If that's the case, you should stay here and borrow Uruk's strength to fight the Magical Beast Goddess with us. Only then will you have a chance to meet the Magical Beast Goddess and defeat her."
"… That's not what you said before." Anna turned around and glared at Merlin. "Previously, you said that you'd bring me to meet the Magical Beast Goddess."
"Yes." Merlin nodded calmly and smiled. "But I've never said that I'm going to barge in with you alone."
Anna was instantly speechless.
"How about it? Do you want to come? "
Merlin smiled slyly.
"… Sigh."
Anna was silent for a moment, then sighed and walked over.
"One day, I'll definitely kill you."
Leaving such words behind, Anna walked into Uruk.
"Yes, yes, yes," Merlin was unconcerned, then smiled at Rozen and Matthew. "Then, let's go."
"O … alright." Matthew looked like she was at a loss for words.
Rozen rolled his eyes.
The group entered Uruk and headed toward the direction of the Tower of Gods.
