The group of people walked through the green wheat fields, and in the distance was a mud-yellow hut, with smoke rising from the kitchen, which looked friendly and pleasant. After the lonely adventure in the forest, the feeling of entering human society was so solid and touching.

The moment he walked out of the forest, Zhang Chengyue felt that the wild power of nature was lost.

In the epic "Gilgamesh", Enkidu has become weaker since he came into contact with humans. When his animal friends left him one after another, he felt that his limbs were stiff and his feet were no longer as nimble as a leopard.

, watching the beast run away but unable to catch up. But he gained wisdom and broadened his mind.

The epic has come true, but Zhang Chengyue is still willing to open his arms and embrace the warm human world without hesitation.

After arriving at a nearby village, the villagers vacated a small house with a courtyard, where Shansatte, Zhang Chengyue and their party stayed.

Zhang Chengyue took a comfortable bath, cut his long black hair short, tied it into a small braid, and put on a Sumerian-style sloping-shoulder white linen robe, immediately becoming much more refined.

Sansate clapped her hands aside and praised: "So handsome!"

Pengpeng also commented: "As long as you have a good figure and good looks, you will look good in anything you wear. You look no different from other Sumerians!"

"There is no other way. If you want to survive here, you have to do as the locals do." Zhang Chengyue said.

Sansate turned closer to the lion, looked at it, and said curiously: "Is this a mythical beast? It can speak like a human, although I can't understand it."

Seeing the beautiful foreign girl looking at him, Pengpeng turned to Sansate and made a charming and cute smile, even wagging his tail like a puppy.

Zhang Chengyue said to Sansate: "You can teach us to speak Sumerian." He pointed to Sansate to express "you", and then pointed to himself, the lion and the open mouth.

Sansate was as smart as ice and nodded and said, "Okay, I can teach you how to speak. My mission is to teach you human knowledge and etiquette!"

Sansate found that apart from knowing nothing about Sumerian, these two guys were well adapted to civilization and etiquette. They were not like barbarians and beasts at all, so she concentrated on teaching them how to speak. They also studied hard because they were "talkative"

"Skill" is the most important skill in the world!

After they gradually mastered basic dialogue, the system added 2,000 points to each of them.

During this period of time, Zhang Chengyue also secretly practiced the special abilities he realized in the forest. Whether it was manipulating flowing water, air or heat energy, he made great progress.

"Enkidu" no longer keeps company with wild beasts, but instead helps the herdsmen guard the sheepfold and drive away wild beasts so that the sheepherders can sleep peacefully at night. The lions are also very gentle, so they are all welcomed by the villagers.

In Sansate's eyes, this "Enkidu" was tall and handsome, with strong wheat-colored muscles. However, unlike his barbaric physique, he was polite, studious and inquisitive, and often had a friendly smile. He was definitely a standard.

A good man. His eyes are beautiful and deep. When he stares at her, he is gentle and focused, making her whole heart melt.

When teaching across a small table, the two of them would often chat and get closer and closer, almost holding hands together. At this time, a big lion's face would come in between the two of them at an inappropriate time, with an unhappy look on his face.

They looked like they were saying, "I fell in love with Sansate first! I fell in love with Sansate first!" The two had to separate awkwardly.

After more than half a month, the lion's injury was completely recovered. Sansate encouraged Zhang Chengyue and said: "Enkidu, come with me to Uruk! Go and see the magnificent temple where the goddess An and Inanna live, the spectacular circular city wall,

There are lively festivals being held in the city, and the streets are bustling with people coming and going. Why stay in a small village all the time?"

Zhang Chengyue was a little excited and wanted to see the first glorious civilization of mankind with his own eyes.

Sansate added: "Uruk also has the outstandingly brave Lugal Gilgamesh, the unparalleled hero in the world! He has known about your existence through dreams a long time ago, and my last mission is to take you

Go to Uruk to meet him."

"Going to see your king?" Zhang Chengyue suddenly became nervous. He glanced at Pengpeng secretly and said, "I'm afraid Gilgamesh won't like me. The dream he had may make him hostile to me..."

Pengpeng listened with his ears perked up.

"Don't worry!" Sansate comforted him and said, "I know you are also a kind and powerful person. I hope you can become Gilgamesh's friend and love him."

Zhang Chengyue quickly held Sansate's hand and said sincerely: "Yes, yes, I admire Gilgamesh very much and hope to become his friend."

Sansate blinked her beautiful big eyes and said: "Don't worry, I will praise your benefits in front of Lugar (referring to the king), and he will definitely appreciate you as a hero!"

"That's great! Thank you!" Zhang Chengyue said repeatedly.

The night before departure, they felt they should be prepared, so they concentrated on asking questions to the system.

"What is the exact year now?"

[System]: Unable to answer accurately. Gilgamesh lived approximately between 2900-2600 BC, and now is approximately 2800 BC.

Pengpeng raised his eyebrows: "I only remember that Qin Shihuang unified China in 221 BC, 2800 BC... What is the concept? It is equivalent to China's Xia Dynasty?"

[System]: "The Xia Dynasty began around 2100 BC."

"Now the Xia Dynasty will not start until 700 years later? Then it is equivalent to the era of the Yellow Emperor?" Pengpeng was speechless.

[System]: "Yellow Emperor: 2717 BC - 2599 BC."

Pengpeng jumped up: "The Yellow Emperor is not born yet? Then the legendary Battle of Banquan between Yan and Huang, the Yellow Emperor defeating Chi You, etc., has not happened 'now'!"

"It should be." Zhang Chengyue sighed.

The lion covered his face and looked helpless: "What era is this? The age of myth? Primitive society? But I think this place is not that backward?"

[System]: "Most of the world is now in the primitive Neolithic Age. Sumer is the first civilization of mankind, which began in 4000 BC, about 500 years earlier than ancient Egypt. Sumer in 2800 BC

It has entered the Bronze Age and has a prosperous urban civilization."

"So the Sumerian civilization was so powerful..." Pengpeng asked again, "What is the relationship between Sumer and ancient Babylon?"

[System]: "They belong to different stages of the 'Two Rivers Civilization' in Western Asia, or the 'Mesopotamian Civilization'. Sumer is the initial stage of the Two Rivers Civilization, and the ancient Babylonian Civilization is the second stage of the Two Rivers Civilization."

The heyday began in 1800 BC."

"It turns out that the ancient Babylonian civilization happened 1,000 years later."

Zhang Chengyue asked: "What happens after meeting Gilgamesh? What is our mission?"

[System]: "After meeting Gilgamesh, try to follow the plot of "The Epic of Gilgamesh". During this process, the ancient situations you have seen and experienced will be entered into the system as intelligence. Mission

The goal is to collect as much important information as possible and light up the World Tree as much as possible."

"How will our mission be accomplished?"

[System]: "It depends on the situation. Collect as much information as possible and light up the World Tree as much as possible."

"Hey, the mission must have an end date! If we complete it according to the epic plot, can we travel back to modern times?"

[System]: "That's basically it, it depends on the situation."

Zhang Chengyue was so angry that he gave the system a middle finger.

Pengpeng remembered the key question and quickly asked: "Why did we travel through time? What is going on with your system?"

"Didi", the system marked a red cross, "No comment. Please try your best to complete the task!"

"It feels like we are being held hostage." Pengpeng said without tears.

Zhang Chengyue remembered that first dream, the luminous god... and the mysterious crystal "me", and suddenly asked: "What is important information?"

[System]: "Information related to the 'origin' or in other words, information related to the 'god'."
