The next day, the three of them got together again.
Before this, Gilgamesh also learned from Siduri that Ryū would pray to the goddess of the Netherworld.
However, what was beyond Ryū's expectations was him.
Gilgamesh showed no displeasure over this.
He even encouraged Ryū to keep doing it.
This made Ryū wonder if today's Gilgamesh is a fake.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gilgamesh looked at Ryū in confusion.
"Nothing, I'm just surprised. I thought you would be upset because of it, but I didn't expect you to encourage me."
"Hmph, if I pray to other gods like this, I will definitely be displeased, but Ereshkigal is different."
Gilgamesh crossed his arms and said meaningfully.
Ryū raised his eyebrows and asked:"Oh, then Tell me more."
"In short, Goddess Ereshkigal does not need sacrifices like other gods. This alone is enough for me to recognize her. These gods who always ask people to sacrifice are very greedy..."
Gilgamesh's tone was a bit strange at the end.
His eyes narrowed slightly, with a strange light flashing in them.
"Please don't say that, my king," Siduri said hurriedly. "That's disrespectful to the gods."
"Hahaha, let's not talk about this now."
Gilgamesh smiled casually.
When Ryū saw this, he secretly clicked his tongue.
As time goes by, Gilgamesh's attitude toward the gods will gradually decline.
Perhaps the gods who created Gilgamesh could not have imagined.
That Wedge of Heaven made by the gods to connect gods and humans.
In the end, he will rebel against God
This change is very interesting.
"But speaking of that, when I was praying to the goddess Ereshkigal last night, she appeared."
Ryū recounted what happened last night.
Siduri and Gilgamesh were both shocked.
Gilgamesh quickly checked if anything was wrong with Ryū.
Gilgamesh was finally relieved after discovering that Ryū was unharmed.
"Don't be so nervous. I've found that this Goddess of the Netherworld isn't as scary as everyone says. She's just... a little unresponsive, isn't she?"
Ryū said somewhat helplessly.
Gilgamesh and Siduri were confused.
Ryū then recounted his experience waiting for Ereshkigal's response last night but getting nothing.
After hearing this, Siduri said: "Maybe the Goddess wants to test you? When I tried to communicate with the Gods before, it took a long time to get a response from them!"
"Maybe if you keep praying to her, the goddess will agree!"
The little priestess said happily.
Gilgamesh had no objection to this.
After all, he really didn't care about the gods.
After hearing Siduri's words, Ryū also fell into deep thought.
He thought what Siduri said made sense.
Besides, no matter what it is, the first time is new, and the second time is familiar.
Since he was able to summon Ereshkigal the first time, he would definitely be able to do so the second time!
If he continue like Siduri said, the other party will agree to his request sooner or later!
Ryū decided to fight a long-term war with Ereshkigal.
At the same time in the underworld.
Ereshkigal sat on a stone bench and watched the three people talking in front of her.
Many thoughts passed through her mind.
First and foremost, she knew Gilgamesh. After all, it was the Heaven's Wedge created by the gods.
But Ereshkigal had no interest in Gilgamesh.
When the gods met to discuss the creation of the Heaven's Wedge, she did not attend the meeting.
Also for Siduri.
Ereshkigal thought that this little girl had great potential.
She can actively encourage Ryū to keep calling her, which is very satisfying for her.
Moreover, she could also feel the faint divine aura on Siduri, which was usually seen on priests.
So Ereshkigal had a plan in mind. If Siduri called her one day, she wouldn't mind giving her some benefits.
Finally, there was Ryū, who she cared about him more than anything else.
Because he was the only one who called her name, but it was not because he wanted to die, unlike some previous people
So Ereshkigal decided that in her future life she would focus on keeping an eye on Ryū.
Nothing happens in the underworld anyway.
Of course, the main purpose of her monitoring Ryū is to find out if his personality is good or not in order to pass on her magical knowledge to him.
Certainly not for any other purpose!
Absolutely not.
Reasons like "because Ryū is first, that's why he's given special attention" and so on, don't match her personality!
Ereshkigal continued to convince herself
