In fact, Gilgamesh didn't really want to hear any excuses from Bai Shen's mouth, he was just used to it, and wanted to see what other surprises the other party could bring him.
Facts have proved that Bai Shen did not live up to his expectations.
"I've heard from them about the High Priest from Akamo."
Bai Shen said the reason he had prepared in advance, "Wang, what do you think the power of the goddess Inanna represents?"
"That woman," Gilgamesh sneered, "isn't that desire, that woman's favorite thing is to seduce others." ” Bai Shen didn't refute this time, but said: "In a sense, the king is not wrong, but the power of desire itself is not wrong. ” "Oh" Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow, in fact, he had somewhat guessed what Bai Shen wanted to say, but he was still quite interested.
"Goddess Inanna is a goddess of freedom and desire, and the divine power she bestows on her believers naturally includes desire itself."
Bai Shen said slowly: "If it is a person who is not strong-willed, he will be easily affected by that power and dominated by desire itself. ” "High priests, they must have obtained too powerful divine power to usher in such an ending."
When Bai Shen said this, he may have a little regret, but there was no sadness in his eyes, on the contrary, his expression was too calm, as if he was just talking about an existence that had nothing to do with him.
Objective, impartial, and not mixed with any personal feelings.
"It's a surprise."
Gilgameshga smiled meaningfully, "Don't you respect Inanna's woman the most, it's rare that you didn't say anything good for him today, how can you finally see her true colors?"
"I've always known that."
Bai Shen looked directly into Gilgamesh's eyes and smiled slightly, "Desire is a greater power than anything else, it can clearly reflect the truest side of everyone, selfishness, jealousy, hatred, sadness, pain, if you can't control your desires, you will be controlled by desires and go to destruction." ” "And such human beings, do they really have the value of being protected?"
Gilgamesh's pupils shrank suddenly, but in the next second, he laughed out loud, "Hahahaha, you really didn't disappoint me, so selfless, and so blind that it's like Inanna, the clown who amuses herself, that woman would definitely laugh if she knew what you thought."
"But," Gilgamesh narrowed his red eyes, undisguised in his appreciation, "I like your fallacy. ” The blonde-haired king raised his glass to Bai Shen, a happy and arrogant smile on his face, "Be proud of yourself, from today onwards, you will be the High Priest of the Temple." ” "Do as the king commands."
Bai Shen knelt down on one knee and accepted the appointment, and the moment his eyes met Gilgamesh, even he felt the powerful power of the king.
Confident, flamboyant, proud, and determined, Gilgamesh will never question himself, and when he has the blood of God in him, he is the strongest king of the human world.
But what is the point of being the strongest in the human world, if you can't stand above the gods, the so-called strongest is just a joke, and Gilgamesh will understand this sooner or later.
"It seems that Jill didn't embarrass you."
Enqidu saw Bai Shen walking out intact, and he was finally a little relieved.
"Not only that, but I was promoted."
Bai Shen laughed softly, "From now on, I will be the high priest of the temple." ” "But you seem to be calm."
Enqidu saw through Bai Shen's state at a glance.
"Maybe I'm long past the age when I'd be excited about something like this."
Bai Shen replied, "What's more, the current situation in the temple is not optimistic. ” "I know."
Enkidu heard about what had happened to the temple, and the original sacrifice was almost dead, leaving only a few very young children, and it was very difficult to redevelop the temple.
"By the way, I also heard from Jill that you like the goddess Inanna very much."
Enkidu asked in a gossipy tone that was very inconsistent with his beautiful appearance, "How about Inanna, is she very beautiful?"
"You" Bai Shen couldn't laugh, he didn't give a clear answer, "Inanna is a goddess who is good at seducing people. ” "Then have you been tempted by her" Enqi stopped and turned his head to look at Bai Shen.
It's still concerned with a gentle expression, but those eyes are so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people feel frightened.
Bai Shen was not afraid, but if he was a different person, he would probably not dare to look directly into Enqidu's eyes.
True to the creation of the gods, Enkidu was more intelligent than he had imagined.
"I won't be tempted."
Bai Shen gave an affirmative answer, "Maybe you're very interested in Inanna, but don't get too close to her." ” "I'm not interested in Inanna." “” "Because neither of my friends is interested in her, is it?"
Enkidu smiled brightly at Bai Shen.
Bai Shen also smiled, "You are really an incredible person, maybe you can be friends with anything." ” As soon as he finished speaking, several small birds landed on Enkidu's shoulders, and they were very intimate with him.
Bai Shen knew that this was one of the powers that Enkidu possessed, he could communicate with all things, and his affinity was full.
Seeing this scene, Bai Shen asked, "Do you really intend to become the second king of Uruk and divide the country equally with Gilgamesh" Enqi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Bai Shen to suddenly ask about it, he flicked the bird with his fingers, hiding the sorrow in his eyes, "Jill is my friend." ” "The king is serious, and since he has announced this, he will not take it back."
Bai Shen walked to Enqidu's side, "Are you uneasy, why didn't you complete your mission?"
Enkidu stopped teasing the birdie, "Since Gilgamesh isn't a true tyrant, I have no reason to crusade against him."
"You're blaming yourself too much."
Bai Shen looked up at the sky, "Do you know that for me, I can only pray to other people's people, and there is no value in saving. ” Enqi was stunned, Bai Shen's words broke into his heart so strongly, leaving indelible traces.
"But it was also human beings who gave me the opportunity to be born into the world."
This is what Enkidu can't ignore the most.
"Then how about doing something for them," Bai Shen threw out the proposal he had thought of a long time ago, "I think the reason why the gods created you is not really to make you crusade against Gilgamesh, but to hope that you can change him. ” "What" "The human desire is to live a better life, and now that you have become an equal to the king, only you can change the king's mind and make the king more gentle with the people of Uruk."

Bai Shen's words seemed to carry infinite magic, "This is what you should do, isn't it?"
A warm and powerful force hit Enqidu's heart, and his eyebrows finally waved away his sorrow, showing his previous ease and smile, "My existence is not meaningless, you are really an incredible person." ” "Now that you've figured it out, I'm relieved, and the king will ask you."
"Nope."
Enkidu shook his head, "It's not just me, it's you, the three of us can change this country together, and we will definitely make the people live a better life." ” Looking at Enqidu's eyes full of hope for the future, Bai Shen seemed to feel the flow of fate, and unconsciously murmured: "Born because of human beings, died because of human beings, is this fate?"
Before Bai Shen's words could spread, it was as if they had been forcibly blocked by some unknown force.
"What" Enki asked, a little confused, "Did you just say something?"
"No, nothing."
Bai Shen shook his head, at that moment, he did capture the thread of cause and effect for a moment and saw the future of Enqidu.
"Don't be too nice to humans."
Before Bai Shen said goodbye to Enqidu, he couldn't help but add that he didn't hate Enqidu, so he didn't expect the other party to have that kind of future in the end, "You have no obligation to save anyone." ” In the same way, Bai Shen also said it to Chang Shouzhu, but that girl still took everything on herself, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there would always be such a naïve guy around him.
"When you fulfill your wish for a better life for the people, you don't owe anything to them, you have to remember that."
"Bai" Enqi sighed softly, he really let the other party his heart for him.
After the separation, Bai Shen devoted himself to the restoration of the construction of the temple.
Due to the large number of sacrifices in the temple, all functions could not function, but Bai Shen had already prepared, he installed many people who were bewitched by his dark power to enter the temple to become sacrifices, and at the same time, in order to balance the forces of all parties, he also arranged some noble relatives to ensure that they would not be troubled.
In a short period of time, Bai Shen almost resumed the function of the temple, and he was more approachable than the high priest, and the temple's original habit of looking at people with his nose was much better, plus Bai Shen would open an opportunity for free treatment for civilians every week, which made the temple and his support among the people extremely high.
Bai Shen and Gilgamesh's relationship is also getting closer, after all, they both have a common friend Enkidu, although he is still Gilgamesh's subordinate, he knows that Gilgamesh has actually seen him as an existence that can talk to each other on an equal footing.
The three of them often discuss together, and the whole Uruk is their hall, and with Enkidu, Gilgamesh's temper has changed somewhat, and although he will not become a Ming monarch immediately, the people's lives are indeed much better.
The whole of Uruk was thriving and developing very well, but such a peaceful life was not what Bai Shen expected, and he instigated Gilgamesh and Enkidu to attack the neighboring countries of Kish and expand the territory of Uruk
