After deciding on the follow-up plan, Rozen and the others also quickly withdrew from the God Tower and no longer stayed.
Gilgamesh had to deal with a lot of things, from war to family matters, he had to deal with them personally. He was so busy that he almost had no time to sleep. It was already a great gift for him to temporarily put aside his work to discuss with Rozen and the others.
Looking at his workload, even Rozen could not help but feel a little scared.
It was not like Rozen had never been the head of a force in other worlds and dealt with various affairs, but it was precisely because of this that he knew how much energy and labor Gilgamesh had to put in with his workload.
To put it bluntly, this was not something a human could do at all. Only a half-human, half-god king like Gilgamesh could handle it.
But even so, when Rozen was about to leave, Gilgamesh couldn't help but say something.
"This king is very busy, very busy. You are also a talent, so hurry up and deal with the Holy Grail and come back. For the sake of the brains you showed yesterday, this king can make an exception and let you become an assistant to help this king deal with affairs."
That was an extremely exaggerated promotion.
If Rozen really became an assistant, he would be able to be on the same level as Siduri, who was the chief priest of the sacrificial grounds. One could imagine how exaggerated that promotion was.
Gilgamesh could not help but make such a promotion. First, he was indeed interested in Rozen's performance yesterday, and second, he was probably really annoyed by the many affairs.
So, Rozen did not hesitate and left on the spot.
What a joke. Although he had the ability to deal with many affairs like Gilgamesh, it was absolutely impossible for him to be as tired as Gilgamesh.
Rozen could foresee that once he really became Gilgamesh's assistant, he was afraid that he would be pressured by all kinds of affairs, big and small, to the extent that he had almost no time to rest.
Such a strenuous and unrewarding task, Rozen felt that it was better to leave as soon as possible.
Of course, Matthew, Merlin, Anna, and Ishtar followed him out.
Xiduri also came out to see Rozen and the others off.
However, Xiduri was only sent outside the Divine Pagoda.
"I still have to go back to help the King with his affairs, so I'll see you off here." Siduri said solemnly, "The passes have been issued to you. You now have the right to enter and leave Uruk freely. This trip will be very dangerous, so please be careful."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Siduri.
"Don't worry, Miss Siduri," Matthew replied gently. "We'll be careful."
"Yeah." Merlin laughed and said, "Let's not talk about direct combat for now. If it's about swindling and deceiving, don't be fooled by my appearance. I'm actually very good at it."
"That's right." Anna could not help but interrupt and said coldly, "Merlin is the best at deceiving people. It's best if he dies."
"Fu! Fou! "Fou sat on Rozen's shoulder, but also let out a cry in agreement.
"Cough cough …" Merlin started coughing.
Ishtar, on the other hand, boasted.
"Since I've already made my move, what else do you have to worry about, Xiduri?"
Ishtar said with a matter-of-fact expression.
Little did he know that this goddess was actually not very reliable in everyone's mind.
(I hope this goddess doesn't drop the ball halfway.)
Rozen thought in his heart and looked at Xiduri.
Looking at her, Rozen saw that for some reason, Xiduri seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought.
"What's wrong?" Rozen was puzzled at first, but then he seemed to understand something and said, "Are you thinking about Jin Gu?"
That's right.
Xiduri was thinking about Jin Gu. Rozen could see that in the Divine Pagoda.
Whenever Jin Gu was mentioned, Xiduri always had a complicated look on her face. The reason why she chose to send them off at this busy time should be because of Jin Gu, right?
As expected …
"Jin Gu …?" Xiduri sighed and said, "So that's his name. I knew it. That person can't be Enkidu."
Xiduri seemed to have mixed feelings.
"Miss Xiduri …" Matthew asked hesitantly, "Miss Xiduri and Enkidu have a relationship, right?"
"… Yes." Xiduri lowered her eyes and said, "A long time ago, I often went in and out of the Divine Pagoda as the king's assistant. After the battle with the king, that person became a close friend of the king and has since become a friend of mankind. He has done a lot for Uruk. To the citizens of Uruk, that person is a rare and gentle hero. If it weren't for him, mankind would have perished when Gugarna caused the flood."
In other words, to the citizens of Uruk, Enkidu was a hero, a benefactor, and a close friend.
Judging from Xiduri's expression, she must have a deep friendship with Enkidu, and her relationship with Gilgamesh was not as simple as that of the king and the assistant.
From her standpoint, as the chief priest, Xiduri must have had a lot of contact with Gilgamesh and Enkidu, who were demigods and divine weapons, right?
Therefore, Xiduri couldn't help but worry when she heard that Enkidu was related to her.
"That person is King Gilgamesh's friend, and also the only Hero who is equal to the King. In the past, when the King carried out his tyranny, it was always that person who gave advice to the King, so that the King, who was destined to die alone, could put his arms together and speak happily, feeling joy from the bottom of his heart."
Siduri spoke slowly as if she was recalling all of this.
"Although Enkidu stubbornly believes that he is a tool and a weapon, I think he is a very gentle human. The one threatening Sumer now is definitely a fake Enkidu. The real Enkidu died a long time ago, and the king personally sent him off. His body was also buried in the underworld. It's impossible for him to become an enemy of mankind like this."
Despite saying that, Xiduri still looked worried.
The reason was simple.
"Everyone in Uruk thinks so, and I've been telling myself that too. But somehow, I still feel a sense of closeness to the Enkidu who appeared now. Perhaps it's a premonition and intuition that even if he isn't Enkidu, he must have some kind of inseparable connection with him."
Xiduri looked at Rozen.
"I know it's a little difficult, but if it's possible, Sir Rorelles, I hope you can help me ask that person when you have the chance. Ask him why he hates humans so much. This is my personal request. Please."
As she spoke, Xiduri lowered her head to Rozen.
Naturally, Rozen wouldn't just stand by and watch. He quickly helped Xiduri up.
At this moment …
"That's what he said." Merlin suddenly turned to the side and said, "As the culprit behind Enkidu's death, don't you want to say something? Sir Ishtar? "
Merlin's words caused everyone's attention to focus on Ishtar.
"W-what?"
Ishtar immediately took a step back, feeling guilty and embarrassed. His eyes kept wandering as if he was too ashamed to show his face.
