In fact, strictly speaking, Bai Shen did not answer Gilgamesh's question in the real sense, but such an answer was enough.
This is the answer that is most in line with the original owner's design, and will not be put to death by the king.
In the memory of the original owner, Gilgamesh would never execute someone for no reason, he had the pride and dignity of being a king, and most of those who were executed were those who rebelled against him or had bad intentions.
Gilgamesh, as a king, would never kill his subjects who were loyal to him, and the king's pride prevented him from doing such a thing.
"Huh."
Gilgamesh frowned, "Nice eloquence, but do you think you can fool this king with this, I'm not like the stupid woman of Inanna, who will be merciful when she listens to two compliments." ” "The goddess is not what the king imagined."
Bai Shen only mentioned this sentence, and didn't talk about the goddess anymore, because he knew that Gilgamesh didn't like Inanna, but if he didn't defend the goddess at all, and it didn't fit the character of the original owner, it would be best to mention it like this.
"And the king didn't intend to kill me at all, did he" Bai Shen smiled and looked at Gilgamesh.
Gilgamesh was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, "Interesting, why are you so sure that this king will not kill you" "Because I don't feel any murderous aura from the king."
Bai Shen looked directly into Gilgamesh's eyes without flinching, "I have always looked at the king, so I know that the king is actually a gentle person. ” Gilgamesh's red pupils shrank suddenly, and some people would say that he was gentle in the hearts of the people of Uruk, and that he was synonymous with cruelty.
"Hahaha," Gilgamesh couldn't help but laugh out loud, "is that how you complimented Inanna, no wonder that stupid woman also suffered at your hands." ” "It seems that the king did not believe what I said."
Bai Shen was not surprised that Gilgamesh would have such a reaction, he stretched out his hand and plucked a flower from the flower garden, "Humans are very fragile creatures, if they lack the domination and guidance of the king, they will easily fall into chaos. ” As if to cater to Bai Shen's words, the flowers in his hands began to wither and decay rapidly.
"Before Uruk had his own name, there was war and suffering, until there was one man who stood up and ended all wars and brought peace to everyone, and that was Uruk's first king."
"The people are grateful for such a king, who follows and believes in him from the bottom of their hearts, and as time passes, Uruk continues to pass on, and each king guards Uruk and brings peace to the city, but people gradually become less grateful."
"The king owns the wealth of the whole of Uruk, the king is the supreme being of Uruk, and the king can easily plunder everything in Uruk."
"So the people decided that such a king was cruel, and prayed to heaven that there would be a brave man who could defeat such a king and save them from such a miserable life, but they forgot that the king was guarding the peace of Uruk while plundering everything."
"In the beginning, the people were grateful for the king's efforts, but when peace became the norm, mankind no longer had gratitude, and they only felt that the king's plunder and domination was a kind of cruelty."
Bai Shen said with some emotion: "This is where human beings are vulnerable, jealousy, dissatisfaction, resentment, inferiority, negative emotions can always invade the hearts of human beings more easily.
"Hmph."
After a brief silence, Gilgamesh snorted softly, "And then you just want to talk about this boring history?"
"It's not boring history."
Bai Shen shook his head, "What will the king do, if one day, Uruk is invaded by another country, will the king still protect such Uruk?"
This people has betrayed your country.
"Isn't that a matter of course," Gilgamesh didn't hesitate for a second, "how can a king be a king if he can't even protect his own country?"
Gilgamesh, who said this, was confident and flamboyant, like the proudest king, with a dazzling light that people couldn't take their eyes off it, and if Aladdin were here, it was estimated that they would see an amazing king's weapon from Gilgamesh.
Bai Shen seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted, and smiled with relief, "This is the most gentle thing about the king, no matter how people change, the king always guards people with the concept of the king." ” Gilgamesh's gaze at Bai Shen finally changed a little, no longer looking at Bai Shen like an ant, but seeing Bai Shen as someone qualified to talk to him.
"There's a bit of meaning in your remarks."
Gilgamesh walked up to Bai Shen's side, and he sneered, "But make no mistake, this king only protects Uruk, a country that belongs to this king, and I didn't say that I would protect those people who rebel against me. ” Bai Shen pretended to be a little surprised, and then laughed helplessly, "That's right." ” "This king asks you again, do you really think you can win against that god's creation" Gilgamesh looked at Bai Shen condescendingly, as if to confirm something at the end.
"If I say I can't, will the king take back his fate" Bai Shen's expression was quite calm, as if he was really not afraid of this matter, and he didn't think that he was going to die, "I will win, but not by fighting." ” "Oh," Gilgamesh became interested, "do you want to convince him by your eloquence?"
"After all, by force, I have no chance of winning."
Bai Shen laughed lightly, "What's more, I always feel that the creation of that god is very similar to the king, you all have the blood of the gods in your bodies, maybe you will become friends one day in the future." ” "Ha it's your boring premonition again."
Gilgamesh scoffed, but he didn't interfere with Bai Shen's thoughts, but turned around and left the last sentence, "Let this king see how far you can go, Bai" It's really powerful, worthy of being an ancient king with the blood of a god, neither stopping him nor asking him to succeed, is this the strength of Gilgamesh as a king The king trusts his subjects and gives them the opportunity to express themselves.
On the day Bai Shen left the temple, there was no fanfare, and the temple did not practice for him, because the people were bitter about the king's atrocities, and after learning that the gods had sent an envoy to punish Gilgamesh, most of them hoped that this messenger would defeat Gilgamesh and change the status quo of Uruk.
In this case, if the temple hyped up sending the strongest sacrifice to meet the messenger of the gods, it would undoubtedly cause chaos, although it was possible to send troops to suppress it, but it was too troublesome, and the temple agreed that Bai Shen's trip must be sent to death, and when the news of the strongest sacrifice came out, the people were afraid that they would riot again, so they simply blocked all news completely.
The temple's trick is not ruthless, if Bai Shen dies, it is equivalent to a vain death, no one will know his sacrifice and dedication, he is purely just an excuse used by the temple to get rid of his crimes.
The entire temple breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of one of the most competitive opponents, and many people secretly cheered for this, but the priests did not expect that what happened next made them feel like they were in hell.
Yes, Bai Shen is certainly not such a kind person, although he left the temple, he will not let those sacrifices have a good time.
His dark power can arouse the negative emotions in people's hearts the most, plus there is his messenger Black Cat, and when he returns, he doesn't know how many of those sacrifices will be left.
Three days later, Bai Shen came to the border of the forest, with the status of a sacrifice, he was courteous in many villages, although the people of Uruk were dissatisfied with Gilgamesh's atrocities in their hearts, but only a few really had the courage to resist, because Gilgamesh adopted an iron-blooded policy, and those who resisted him were executed, so for the temple sacrifice that symbolized one of Uruk's supreme powers, ordinary civilians naturally did not dare to offend.
The border of the forest is basically uninhabited, and the guide who led the way for Bai Shen sent him here and left, it is said that there are many fierce beasts in the forest, and it will be very dangerous to trespass into them.
Bai Shen was wearing a pure white sacrificial robe, but after driving for so long, there was not the slightest dust on it, it was still white, he closed his eyes, and felt the power that permeated his body.
There was indeed a great force in the center of the forest, but the aura was violent, as if it was fighting something.
Because there was no one nearby, Bai Shen had no hidden power, and his figure turned into darkness, and he came to the center of the forest in an instant.
Then he saw a man with long green hair, so delicate that it almost made people mistake his gender, the man was almost naked, and there was no ideal existence in his eyes, like a newborn young beast, just fighting by instinct.
Bai Shen stood on the tree and observed for a while, is this the creation of the gods, but he has not even given him the most basic reason, and can only be said to be a failure.

Now there are two paths in front of him, in the face of a creature that has no reason, it is impossible to persuade with words, because the other party cannot understand what he says at all, so the first is to kill the other party directly, and the second is to create some kind of trap to trap the other party in this forest forever.
The first method is obviously a strategy, not to mention that he will lose his strength if he kills people, this is a creation of the gods, he was killed before he completed his mission, how could it not attract the attention of the gods, he didn't want to be targeted so early.
It seems that Bai Shen is not in a hurry to do only a trap, he patiently observed the other party for a few more days.
The god's creature was irrational, but he seemed to remember that he had an important mission, and that he had instinctively been walking towards the outskirts of the forest, but not at a fast pace, because every time he encountered a beast, he would always fight it.
Although this man with long green hair was beautiful, he was very savage and rough when he moved his hands, and the blood of the gods made his body extremely strong, and if it were not an artifact, he would not be able to hurt it at all.
Bai Shen also has an accurate understanding of the strength of this god's creation, he has not fought against Gilgamesh, but it can be roughly judged that the strength of this god's creation should be on par with Gilgamesh.
Interestingly, with the power of the gods, especially the power of Anu, the lord of the gods of this world, it should not be difficult to create a stronger existence than Gilgamesh, but he only created humans similar to Gilgamesh, and he has to start wondering if these gods are trying to train Gilgamesh, otherwise such a negative attitude cannot be explained at all.
In the end, Bai Shen chose to lay a trap to trap the other party, he had already spread a part of the dark power in the forest, these forces would make the other party wander in the illusion forever, unable to find a way out.
However, just as Bai Shen was about to activate these powers, the goddess Aruru suddenly appeared, and she realized that a creature without reason could not complete the task, so she gave the creature a woman.
Bai Shen hid when the goddess appeared, and Aruru didn't notice him, just frowned and looked at the core area where the dark power was most vigorous.
"How can there be such a thick darkness" Fortunately, the goddess did not delve into it, and she left after finishing the matter, while Bai Shen watched a big show throughout the whole process.
Bai Shen didn't feel blushing and heartbeat, he had lived for so long, it was impossible that he hadn't seen this kind of scene, and to be honest, he felt that the woman was a sacrifice, and with the other party's irrational state, it was impossible for a woman to survive.
As it turned out, Bai Shen's premonition was not wrong, the creation of the gods under the sacrifice given by his mother, gained reason and wisdom, as if the original empty shell was infused with souls, and at the same time, the same voice seemed to sound in the whole forest, which was the joy of the birth of a new life, and it was also the blessing of the gods for the child.
Enkidu, Lock, you should put the "wedge" back to us.
Enkidu, which means the lock of heaven that binds everything, is quite a match for that guy in Gilgamesh, and Bai Shen feels more and more that these gods love Gilgamesh deeply.
Enki, who had gained reason and wisdom, noticed the dead human beneath him, and with a sad look on his face, he dug a pit, buried the woman in it, and built a tombstone.
Enki, who had a heart of shame, stripped off the tiger skin he had hunted before, dried it and wrapped it around his waist, and now that he realized his mission, he couldn't stay here any longer.
Bai Shen did not show up directly, he spent a few more days observing the newborn Enqidu, he found that the other party was a very kind person, he would be sad about the loss of life, he would save the dying bird, and he would not kill any life indiscriminately except for the food that had to be replenished.
In short, this child's three views are particularly positive, which is completely different from Gilgamesh, which makes Bai Shen quite interesting.
Enkidu also felt something was wrong after a few days of driving, and he seemed to have been circling in circles, no matter how he walked, he didn't see the border of the forest at all.
He knew that someone must have done something, so he had been secretly on guard, and Bai Shen saw that the timing was about the same, and appeared in front of Enqidu in the evening when the sun was setting.
Bai Shen's appearance is very bland, and he is not as mysterious as the night bird, he is like a passerby who mistakenly enters the forest, but he just happens to stay in that place.
"Hello for the first time."
The gentle smile, the white robe, and the special aura full of affinity made Enqi a little stunned.
Bai Shen didn't hide it, he introduced himself straight to the point, "I am the priest of Uruk, my name is Bai, and our king sent me to stop you." ” When Enkidu heard this, he immediately became vigilant, but he still kindly persuaded him, "You are not my opponent, you will die at my hands, go back and tell your king, I will fight him sooner or later." ” "You are a gentle man."
Bai Shen lowered his eyes lightly, and said with some emotion: "Just like our king." ” "Your king," Enkidu frowned, "are you trying to convince me that Gilgamesh is a tyrannical monarch, and that I have been commanded by the Mother and the Father to crusade against him so that the people can live happily." ” "Then if Gilgamesh is not a tyrannical monarch, will you choose to give up the crusade against him" Bai Shen deliberately brought the proposition to the situation of choosing one or the other.
Enkidu fell silent, he was born to crusade against Gilgamesh, and if Gilgamesh was not a tyrannical king, then his existence was meaningless.
Bai Shen naturally knew the contradictions of Enqidu, no one was willing to deny the meaning of his birth, let alone a human with the blood of a god like Enqidu.
"Sorry, I don't believe what you say."
Enkidu's eyes hardened, "If Gilgamesh wasn't worth the crusade, the gods wouldn't have created me, and if you had to stop me, I'd have to kill you." ” "Then make a deal."
Bai Shen laughed lightly, "Whether Gilgamesh needs to be defeated or not, use your eyes to witness it personally, in exchange, I can unravel the illusion of the forest and let you leave here, if after seeing the people of Uruk, you still decide to crusade against Gilgamesh, I will not continue to stop it." ” "I can't get out of this forest, and it's really because of you."
Enqidu actually faintly felt it as early as when Bai Shen appeared.
"How is it" Bai Shen stretched out his hand to Enkidu, his words seemed to be full of some kind of magic, which was impossible to refuse, "Do you want to see the scenery of Uruk with me?"
Enki didn't hold Bai Shen's hand, but he agreed to the deal, and with his wisdom, he really couldn't wait to take a good look at the world and the Gilgamesh who was known as the Cruel King.
After unlocking the illusion, Bai Shen and Enqi quickly walked out of the forest, and they traveled together to a nearby town.
Because of Bai Shen's status as a sacrifice, the lord received them very warmly.
The lord is over forty years old, probably because he has too much oil and water, and his body is completely out of shape, like a fat bucket.
"Lord Bai, this beautiful woman beside you is" Lord Lord's expression was a little obsessed when he looked at Enkidu, obviously completely misidentifying Enqidu's gender.
When leaving the forest, Bai Shen gave Enqidu the same sacrificial clothes, which would look strange if he wore animal skins.
"He's a sacrificial like me, and he's a man, by the way."
Bai Shen smiled slightly.
The lord was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal, in fact, among the nobles, there is no taboo about gender, as long as they are good-looking, the problem is that the identities of these two people are not simple, the lord does not want to anger the priest, if Enqi is a woman, he can still pursue it, if he marries the other party, there must be a lot of benefits, but if a man, he can only do it.
"It's my clumsiness, don't mind, Lord Enkidu," the lord greeted warmly, "Come and enjoy these delicacies, I have prepared them for you" The lord really spent a lot of money, all of them were high-quality delicacies, but Enkidu didn't seem to be very interested, because on the way into the lord's mansion, he saw too many poorly clothed, hungry and cold civilians, compared to the golden and brightly dressed lords, he could understand what kind of life the people here lived.
"I'm full."
Enkidu stood up, and the maid who had come to serve the new dish did not pay attention, and just happened to bump into him, knocking over all the dishes on top of him.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry," the maid was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed.
"You useless fellow" The lord, fearing that Enkidu would blame him, kicked the maid who made the mistake, and almost fainted because she showed no mercy at all.
"It's not her fault, it's that I didn't pay attention to run into her."
Enkidu's hatred for the lord is even deeper, and sure enough, Gilgamesh is a cruel king, and it is because of his cruelty that there are so many lords who suck human blood.
"I see, my lord, it would be better if you said it earlier" The lord also seemed to find that Enkidu didn't seem to like his style very much, so he immediately changed his attitude, "I'll ask a doctor to treat him immediately, don't worry, Lord Enkidu, go back to your room and rest early." ” "I want to see her get treatment."
Enkidu didn't believe what the lord said from the bottom of his heart, and he turned his head to look at Bai Shen.
Bai Shen shrugged helplessly, it seemed that Enqi really hated this lord, but it was no wonder that every action of the lord was his own death.
"I'll treat him."
Bai Shen didn't want Enqi to break out in such a place, anyway, as a sacrifice, he already had the power to heal.
"How can this be done" the lord was sincerely afraid, "how can you let your lord waste his strength on such a pariah" "It's okay."
Bai Shen raised his signature smile on his face, "Your foot just exerted too much force, it seems to be twisted, I'll treat you by the way." ” "Thank you so much, sir" The lord squeezed in front of the maid with his fat body, and begged Bai Shen to treat him first.
Enqidu frowned again, but fortunately, Bai Shen's treatment speed was very fast, and the maid retreated immediately after her injury was healed, and she didn't dare to stay at all.
At night, Bai Shen did not stay in his room, but still came to Enqidu's room.
Under the moonlight, the other party's face was really quite beautiful, and the long green hair poured down, like a spirit in the night, giving people a sense of sacrosanctity.
"I still have to crusade against Gilgamesh."
Enkidu set his eyes on Bai Shen, "You asked me to verify it with my own eyes, and now I have the answer." ” "I'm really anxious, did you get the answer on the first day" Bai Shen was noncommittal, "What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to liberate this territory."
Enkidu's eyes were firm, "So that the people can live happily." ” "Kill the lord," Bai Shen asked.
"That's right."
Enkidu nodded, "Will you stop me?"
"No, it won't."
Bai Shen laughed lightly, "Didn't I say it, if it's the answer you come up with after verifying it with your own eyes, I won't stop it." ” "You should leave this territory first tomorrow."
Enqi knew that he and Bai Shen should be regarded as enemies, but he couldn't hate Bai Shen, because the other party was the first person he saw after he had a soul, so he didn't want to cause trouble for Bai Shen.
"Don't worry about me."
Bai Shen walked to the door, "I also want to verify that the answer you came up with is correct." ” Before leaving the room, Bai Shen suddenly spoke: "Enqidu, humans are very fragile creatures. ” "I know, that's why we need to protect such a fragile human being."
"Protection" Although Bai Shen still had a smile on his face, he gave people a sad feeling, "But the way of protection that is blindly paid will not protect anyone in the end." ” “” At this time, Enkidu did not understand the true meaning of Bai Shen's words, until he killed the lord and saw a completely different Shura Hell from what he expected, he:
