Several nobles were lying on the wall, secretly observing Enkidu:

"Is that young man Enkidu? But his appearance is more delicate, not powerful enough, and he is not as tall as Gilgamesh!"

"You can't just look at the head. You see, although General Zabarda Bunuga is as tall as a giant tower, he was still defeated by Gilgamesh!"

"No matter what, think of a way to get him to fight the hateful Gilgamesh as soon as possible! If it doesn't work for him, think of another way!"

Sansate suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "By the way, there is a grand festival today! Time is running out, let's take a shortcut to the main street!"

After saying that, Sansate dove into a less crowded alley, led them to walk zigzag in the alley, and left them behind for a while, her big black and shiny braids swaying behind her back.

Land. Looking at her slender and graceful back, Zhang Chengyue and Pengpeng looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

After passing through complicated alleys, they suddenly entered a wide street paved with blue tiles, lined with a variety of high-end shops.

Among the crowded pedestrians, there are always a few people who are more conspicuous, tall and handsome, and they look like nobles at first glance. They wear a kind of ceremonial dress. The men's sloping robes have elegant folds, similar to the clothing of the Greek classical period, and the women's

It is a long tube top skirt with a shawl on both shoulders, and the shawl's pattern is extremely exquisite.

There were many beauties sitting or standing in the open beer hall on the street, all of them charming.

While Zhang Chengyue's attention was still on the beauty, Pengpeng was suddenly so frightened that the hair all over his body exploded. He quickly hid behind Zhang Chengyue and shouted in a low voice: "Oh my God! Oh my God! ... There is a giant there!"

It looked at the distant street corner with a horrified expression.

Zhang Chengyue looked past the bustling crowd and immediately saw a giant in the distance who was wearing leather armor and was twice as tall as a normal person!

The giant had a curly beard and thick hair. His bones were extremely strong and his muscles were tangled all over his body. He looked as ferocious and terrifying as an ancient god. Even looking at it from a distance, Zhang Chengyue was shocked for a long time.

Can't move.

The giant was accompanied by several soldiers who were more than two meters tall. They stood out among the crowd. However, judging from the behavior of the people around them, they were quite respected, but they were not regarded as monsters. Looking more closely,

The giant's face shape, hairstyle, and beard basically match the appearance of a strong local man. He shouldn't be some alien monster, but probably a natural strange person!

After a conversation between the giant and the sergeant he led, they walked toward the far end of the street with their heads held high. They took very long steps, and people gave way to them, and they were gone after a while.

"Oh my God, the heads of ordinary people are less than his waistline, and the height of that giant is probably three meters!" Zhang Chengyue was shocked and whispered to his friends.

Pengpeng said: "Yes! It's so scary! What would it be like if we stood next to this 3-meter-tall giant!"

Sansate had already walked to the front, and when she saw that the two of them were struggling to catch up, she had to turn back and separate the crowd to look for them: "You must follow me closely! Otherwise you will get lost! ... Hey, why are you all one by one?

Are you looking pale?"

She followed the line of sight of Zhang Chengyue and the others, and suddenly understood, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid! That giant's name is Zabarda Bunuga, he is our general of Uruk, and he has the blood of a quarter of a god.

He's a demigod! That's why he's so tall. He's so powerful on the battlefield!...Have you never seen other demigods before?"

Zhang Chengyue stammered and asked: "Are there really demigods in this world?...Are all demigods very tall?"

Sansate looked at him with a strange look and said: "Of course! Gods are all very tall. I have taught you that the word 'god' means 'big, tall, shining'. Besides,

Enkidu, aren't you also a demigod? Look how tall you are!" Sansa stood on tiptoe and gestured unconvincingly between the top of her head and Zhang Chengyue's chin.

Pengpeng said: "But he is only eight feet tall (about 1.92 meters), which is normal!"

Sansate bent down and playfully said to the lion: "Enkidu is quite tall! The height of an ordinary man is only seven feet (about 1.70 meters), and even you are taller than an ordinary lion!"

Zhang Chengyue asked: "...Sansate, you told me that the king, top priests and generals of Uruk are all descendants of gods and humans, so they must all be tall and different from ordinary people?"

"Yes, the ruling class of these countries can distinguish them from ordinary people just by looking at their height. Of course, there are also many nobles from aristocratic families who have very little divine blood in their bodies, so their height is about the same as ordinary people."

"So, the words 'En', 'Ensi', and 'Lugar' that represent the king literally mean 'adult', do they really mean 'tall man'?"

"Yes." Sansate said.

"I understand." Zhang Chengyue said to Pengpeng in Chinese with a wry smile, "In ancient China, officials of the ruling class were also called 'adults'. Could it be that in ancient times, they also referred to giants and demigods?"

Pengpeng sighed and said: "Maybe!"

"Ah, I finally figured it out. Gods are indeed tall! Regardless of the Titans in Greek mythology, the frost giants in Nordic mythology, or the Pangu in Chinese mythology, the Kuafu clan... the earliest gods were all giants."

Zhang Chengyue said as he thought, "And those demigod heroes in ancient Greek mythology are also tall and burly people!"

With a ding sound, the branches of the World Tree lit up a little, [system prompt]: "Obtained preliminary data of demigods, pending verification."

"Oh, no!" Pengpeng thought of something again and said in horror: "Then Gilgamesh, who has two-thirds of the blood of gods, wouldn't he be taller than that giant? How terrifying would that be? Sansa

He even said he was handsome and so on..."

Zhang Chengyue spread his hands and said: "Hey, actually, I really don't have any expectations for Gilgamesh's appearance. He will definitely not be the kind of sissy, white-faced boy that modern people appreciate! Ancient people liked strong heroes, which is different from our aesthetics."

It's different! The epic says it very clearly: 'Gilgamesh had a broad chest of nine feet and a height of eleven feet. His body was as tall and strong as a bison! He had a face like a lion, lapis lazuli

An ordinary beard...', 'His majesty holding a weapon' can make people's souls fly away and make pillars crumble and walls fall down just by looking at him!"

Pengpeng was shocked: "A chest of nine feet wide and a height of eleven feet? If converted into feet, Gilgamesh is 2.7 meters wide and more than 3 meters high? Is this width still a human being? Is it the city just now?

The door panel, right?!”

"That's a bit exaggerated!" Zhang Chengyue scratched his head and said, "But I have seen his ancient statues on the Internet. He looks almost like the giant with a beard and angry eyes. He is very tall and strong. He is holding a head with one arm.

The lion is like holding a cat hostage. Some people explain that it is a lion cub, but according to the legendary height ratio of 3.4 meters, it is a normal-sized lion!"

"But in the anime, Gilgamesh is only of average height."

"That's because the animation setting is wrong! 'Alexander the Great' who is much taller and majestic than him in the animation, the real height in history is only 1.50 meters; and Gilgamesh's real body shape should be the same as that giant monster 'Herak'

Les' is the same! Oh, by the way, many scholars believe that the ancient Greek Hercules is a replica of Gilgamesh, and at least part of his adventures are extracted from the story of Gilgamesh.

"

"Oh my God, are you sure we want to see Gilgamesh? I just want to run away now!" Pengpeng couldn't help shouting.

Sansate said curiously: "What are you mumbling in animal language again?"

"...We were discussing which one is more handsome, Gilgamesh or that general." Zhang Chengyue said with a smile.

Sansate smiled and said: "Haha, General Zabal is indeed handsome, but Gilgamesh is even more handsome. You will know it when you see him! Let's go, the festival in the main square is about to start!" She jumped up and down.

He greeted and motioned for the two of them to follow quickly.
