Chapter 5: The King’s Acknowledgement and the God’s approval..
The last words fell loudly.
'That's enough.'
Luo Wei closed his eyes, ready to face death, and he also thought that he would definitely die.
After all, this kind of humiliation is unbearable for any king.
Not to mention Gilgamesh.
But Gilgamesh was stunned in place.
In addition to anger, there was also some inexplicable thought in his heart.
There is no doubt that at that moment just now, he really fell into extreme anger.
As an arrogant king, this was the first time someone pointed his nose in his face and insulted him - although this kind of insult could not really shake Gilgamesh's heart, it still made him feel unparalleled humiliation.
Especially the phrase 'Mongrel' that was applied to himself.
However--
"The king should be the chosen one for all the people."
Such a sentence shouted under Luo Wei's anger stunned him, who was supposed to be in a rage.
Gilgamesh is extremely disgusted with the gods.
Because he has the blood of the gods, he is the king of the world chosen by the gods, and he is the "wedge of heaven" that maintains the connection between gods and humans.
Originally, young Gilgamesh may not have had a clear understanding of these.
But after growing up, he took it for granted and felt extremely bored with the gods who had always hoped to control him.
Unwilling to be restrained and controlled.
He didn't want my life to be a puppet of an arranged trajectory, so he acted recklessly and failed to be a wise king as the gods expected.
Instead, he became a tyrant.
All kinds of actions, in the final analysis, stem from his hatred of gods.
But it is precisely because of this that he recognized Luo Wei's words.
He should be the king of the world chosen by the people.
It is not some puppet chosen by the gods!
This guy...
Maybe, like him, he also hates and disdains those high gods!
He was critiquing him from the human point of view.
The king looked at Luo Wei, who was waiting for death with his eyes closed.
In the temple at this moment, there was silence, and everyone was prostrating, but with Gilgamesh's eyesight, how could he not see...
Because of the words of this young priest, some people have already started to move.
The priests, especially the old priest—they all wanted to save Luo Wei, who had said those words.
Because of the resoluteness in pleading for the lives of all people in those words.
That's what they think but dare not express.
"Interesting..."
Gilgamesh laughed.
Luo Wei, who was waiting to die with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes with some doubts because the death he expected still did not come after a long time.
Then he saw the raised corners of Gilgamesh's mouth, and the snake-like shadow reflected in his red eyes.
No longer cold, but with a bit of unabashed admiration.
"Although your screams are as annoying and disgusting as the barking of wild dogs in the countryside and as disgusting as bugs chewing on the soil, yet -"
"This king really feels the loyalty you showed with the belief that you must die."
The words were still ugly, but the recognition between the words was not concealed in the slightest.
The priests breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Luo Wei looked confused and didn't know what was going on.
What happened?
Who am I?
Where is this?
Wait... shouldn't you have killed me already?
As an extremely egotistical tyrant, how could you remain so calm in the face of your subjects who offended you..much less scold you this loudly.??
This doesn't fit your personality——
But no matter how confused and depressed Luo Wei was, no matter how much he screamed in his heart, it was of no avail.
"The king recognizes your loyalty and forgives your offense against the great and noble king."
Gilgamesh waved his hand and turned around: "Go back and weep bitterly, and thank this king for his magnanimity!"
"That's all for today. I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest!"
After leaving these words, he walked towards the door.
If the sacrifice hadn't concluded on ordinary days, a large number of people would undoubtedly have tried to stop his actions, and even his mother, who resided in the heavens, might have conveyed an oracle through the sacrifice.
But at this moment, it seemed that both humans and gods were still in a state of shock due to recent events.
So, no one tried to stop Gilgamesh.
He didn't have to endure those disgusting sacrificial rites, nor did he need to wait here for an extended period to witness all his treasures squandered by those heavenly scum.
Thinking of this, Gilgamesh suddenly felt that Luo Wei had done an excellent job.
The anger he had felt being scolded just a while ago had already dissipated.
As a show of gratitude from the honorable king, when he returned, he must reward that guy well.
Gilgamesh left happily.
Only Luo Wei remained, his face wearing a dull expression.
And many priests who breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately... the king is still wise and understands your intentions, Priest Luo Wei."
An elderly priest staggered to his feet and gathered around.
They didn't blame Luo Wei for disrupting the sacrifice at all, instead, they were thankful that he had saved his life.
"Luo Wei, why didn't you tell us in advance if you were going to do something like this?"
The high priest also said: "It is better for everyone to speak together than for you to bear the pressure alone!"
To be honest, Luo Wei was a little touched. He knew that these old people were really kind to him... but he also felt that he couldn't laugh or cry.
What is my intention?
I just want to die!
However, it seems that the plan to use this opportunity to let Gilgamesh kill him has completely failed.
Luo Wei sighed.
"Little Luo Wei, why do you appear so dejected?" another priest asked. "Are you worried that you'll incur the gods' wrath for disrupting the sacrifice?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.
There really are gods in this world.
Could there be a chance that the gods would be angered because his actions prevented them from enjoying Uruk's offerings..then I can still die..
While others were concerned, a glimmer of hope emerged within his heart.
Just then, someone exclaimed, "Look, it's God's will!"
Everyone looked up and saw a radiance descending from the top of the hollow dome, facing the statue of God-King Anu.
It was the divine radiance.
Even though gods couldn't physically descend to Earth, they could still convey their will.
Luo Wei was delighted.
In his opinion, this will of God must make him die.
Mesopotamia has no shortage of chicken-gut gods.
But soon, he stopped laughing.
"Sacrifice Luo Wei, you have pointed out the misguided king's errors and led the king to accept your loyal counsel. Though you have shown disrespect for the gods' rituals, your bravery and willingness to face death have earned the gods' appreciation."
"The gods pardon your impiety and grant you a promise—your actions in the world shall be sanctioned by the gods."
Hearing this, the priests erupted in cheers, extolling the king's wisdom and the benevolence of the gods.
Only Luo Wei's expression froze.
'...'
He simply wanted to know why!
He just wanted to die, why is it so difficult?
