Chapter 26 Lugarbanda and the Golden Sword

On the deserted beach south of the city, Enkidu was inexplicably resurrected with full health after shouting to the sky. Gilgamesh felt very annoyed and thought, if he doesn't show something real, he will have to fight boringly with this guy who has thousands of different tricks.

It's better to fight...

He had made up his mind, so he put away the double lion battle ax and the golden spear, turned them into accessories and put them back on his body, and then said calmly: "Forget it, let you see my golden sword!"

He stretched his hand to his neck, elegantly took off a gold goddess pendant from the necklace, and gently held it in his palm. The palm of his hand immediately overflowed with light, glowing with golden brilliance.

Enkidu had long noticed that there were seven exquisite gold pendants on Gilgamesh's neck, each with a different shape. The more exquisite and precious the ornaments were, the higher the level of weapons they could transform into. So the seven exquisite gold pendants on Gilgamesh's neck

Is this pendant his trump card?

[System]: "According to historical data, those pendants represent the Sumerian gods: the 'crescent moon' represents the moon god Nanna-suen, which is also the symbol of the later Iraqi religion; the cross star plus

The disk with radiating lines on all sides represents the sun god Utu; the lion-headed scepter represents the war god Ninurta; the forked lightning represents the lightning and weather god Ishkur (ish.kur, the youngest son of Enlil); the necklace

The granular rose disk in the middle symbolizes Inanna. There are also two unknown goddess statues, one of which may be equivalent to the guardian spirit Rama..."

Enkidu was stunned, the goddess statue taken off the necklace had transformed into a golden sword in Gilgamesh's hands!

Enkidu swallowed his saliva and thought, "It's not good." He deliberately said: "The flashy gold-plated sword is not just for looks, right?"

"Ignorant savage, this is not gold-plated!" Gilgamesh sneered, "This is a destiny weapon that can only be forged by the alchemy of gods. Even if ordinary people get it, they will not be able to exert its power. But with gods,

As a person with blood, I can bring it to the extreme!"

In fact, Enkidu could also tell that this sword was definitely not gold-plated, because the sword was as cold as a frost blade, but it had a beautiful golden color. He thought that gold was too soft and could only be used as a hilt or a non-sharp blade.

Ou's decoration would never be used on the blade, so he asked: "System, even if the ratio is changed with other metals, gold will only reduce the hardness of the alloy, right?"

[System]: "Yes. However, gold itself has strong conductivity, heat reflectivity, radiation resistance, chemical stability, heat resistance and super ductility. If there is a super alchemy that can make gold into weapons,

Maybe it can bring its performance to an incredible level. According to various historical records, gold has always been considered to be loved by gods and is a 'sacred metal belonging to gods'. It was called 'tears of gods' in ancient South American civilizations.

', the wings of the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant recorded in the Bible were also required to be made of gold. Obtaining gold resources may be one of the reasons why God came to the earth."

Seeing Enkidu standing still, Gilgamesh was not in a hurry to attack. Since he had taken out the golden sword, he felt like he had a winning ticket.

He slowly stood the sword in front of his eyes, caressing the sword body with his hands, just like caressing the beautiful body of a girl, while saying in a melodious voice: "The true name of this golden sword,

Called ninsunna!"

Banda volunteered, but his friends and followers dissuaded him because this task not only required trekking through mountains and rivers, but also the king required that those who completed the task must strictly keep secrets and go alone. This is a journey with no return. But Banda insisted on his opinion.

, accepted the task and embarked on the journey alone.

He climbed seven mountains alone and successfully returned to Uruk. On his way back, he met the goddess Ningsang and brought back to Uruk something two ellen long. It was this

The golden sword, even the Anunnaki admired it. Suddenly, the beautiful Ningsang appeared in front of everyone from the sword, and Banda was also surprised. Afterwards, Banda explained to people that he had never

I brought back a wife from the mountains."

Enkidu couldn't help but ask: "Hmm, what happened next?"

****
