2391 "Uruk"
The next day.
When the sun rose from the east again, Luo Zhen and his party finally arrived in Uruk City.
As the center of this era, the world's largest city, this city is imaginable in its grandeur and luxuriousness.
Because the Sumerians have appeared on the historical stage since about 4,000 BC, and after more than a thousand years of development, their civilization has long become very mature.
The oldest urban civilization of mankind, the Sumerian civilization, was officially established after the Sumerians got rid of the village society where thousands of people lived together. They irrigated farming and increased grain production, thus gradually forming an urban state group of 10,000 people.
Although the country is not as large as that of modern, it can become a country of this scale, writing is naturally invented, and there is also higher education taught. Although the wood is not naturally benefited, the fertile land surrounded by two rivers can produce high-quality soil, allowing the Sumerians to use the clay extracted from the soil to build various tools, buildings and even city blocks.
So, it is a country of mud and clay and wheat and sheep.
Then, as the oldest city of mankind, Uruk's prosperity is also the world's best.
At this moment, even in the war period, the market in Uruk is still lively.
The shouts were ringing everywhere.
The sound of knocking on the iron block is also constantly ringing.
The curling smoke that seemed to be generated by forging weapons rose from all directions.
People who only surrounded the rough clothes were moving in such a city, either setting up various stalls and shops, constantly shouting, or hurriedly carrying out wrought iron and transportation, creating a market scene that could not even be available in a modern downtown market.
"""It's so...so lively!""
Standing in front of the gate of Uruk City, looking at the bustling city, including Luo Zhen and everyone in Chaldean, everyone seemed to be stunned and couldn't help making such a sound.
Even Anna, who has been quiet all the way, was stunned by the scene in front of her, with a blank expression.
"This...is this Uruk of ancient Mesopotamia!?"
"How could it be so lively!?"
"It's obviously during the war and it's against God, and it's incredible that the humans here can maintain such vitality!"
The voices of Olga Marie, Leonardo da Vinci and Roman began to ring from the communicator one after another. It is conceivable that they were also frightened by the scene in front of them.
"Is this really an environment that civilization in 2600 BC can create?"
Luo Zhen's face was also unaware of his surprise.
Originally, Luo Zhen thought that since it was almost five thousand years ago, even if the urban civilization had already formed, it should be very simple and sloppy.
In fact, the city that is presented to everyone is indeed not as modern as it is, there are no paved roads, nor are there tall buildings. There are only sandy and street scenes that have been rested and recuperated. Almost all the buildings are made of earth and stone houses, and even the stalls and shops are very simple. I told others that it is undoubtedly ancient.
But whether it is a market or a field, there are people working in full spirit and extremely orderly.
The level of liveliness and the layout of rules is not inferior even if it is modern.
"How? Do you feel like an eye-opener?"
Merlin seemed to be expecting everyone's surprise expression. Seeing everyone's shocked expression, she immediately spoke with great satisfaction.
"This is Uruk. There is no doubt that since it is named the oldest civilization of mankind, as the first civilized society in human history, and as the origin of future human civilization, it is natural that it will be so lively and energetic, right?"
After all, the civilizations of later generations are based on this civilization, so the shadow of the civilizations of later generations can be seen from the current civilization.
"In the future, such a civilized society will continue to develop, and sooner or later it will become the society and environment you are familiar with, and you can witness the origin of all that, you must cherish it."
As he said this, Merlin raised the staff in his hand and pointed forward.
"Look, the god tower located in the center of Uruk is the temple of this city, and it is also the palace of the king, and it also serves as a sacrificial ground. However, the city god is no longer there, so it has almost become the bedroom of King Gilgamesh."
Hearing this, everyone looked at it.
What catches your eye is a temple with a pyramid structure, which is located at the center of Uruk, as Merlin said, and looks majestic and sacred.
The streets in Uruk are well connected to it, gathering in the square where the temple is. The closer it is to the temple, the more grand the buildings and layout are. Finally, there are stone bricks paved on the road, making the city center where the temple is located look extremely prosperous.
"Let's go and meet the king." Merlin smiled at everyone and advised, "But you have to be mentally prepared first?"
What mental preparation?
Of course, it is a psychological preparation for difficult communication with the oldest hero and king of mankind.
"Although he has already explored the underworld for immortality and awakened after a complete enlightenment, he is the hero king, the most terrifying tyrant, the most arrogant and ruthless judge. It is definitely not easy to have an equal conversation with that king. Perhaps he may be regarded as an enemy, killing him on the spot, and not wanting to evolve into the worst situation, so you have to think about what to do."
Merlin said this seriously, making Mashu couldn't help swallowing and his expression tense.
Luo Zhen's eyes also flashed slightly.
As for Anna, she had already reacted from her surprise and looked at the lively and bustling city scene in front of her, and suddenly lowered her head.
"I won't go." Anna whispered: "I don't want to do this when I go to the gathering place of humans and see the king of humans."
After saying that, Anna wanted to turn around and leave.
Merlin didn't stop him.
No, it should be said that he had already anticipated Anna's reaction.
therefore...
"Oh? Is this okay?" Meilin shook his head and said, "If you leave here now, then with your own strength, let alone defeating the Goddess of the Warcraft, it is impossible to see that goddess. Even so, will you still leave?"
Upon hearing this, Anna stopped.
"Your purpose is to defeat that goddess, right? That's why we reached an agreement with me, right?" Merlin said in a tempting tone: "Since that's the case, you should stay here and use the power of Uruk to fight with us. In this way, you can meet the Goddess of Warcraft and knock her down?"
"...... You didn't say that before." Anna turned her head and glared at Merlin, saying, "Before, you clearly said you would take me to see the Goddess of Warcraft."
"Yes." Merlin nodded calmly, but smiled like this: "But I have never said that I want to break in with you alone?"
Anna was speechless.
"How is it? Are you coming?"
Meilin smiled treacherously.
"......well."
Anna was silent for a while, then sighed and walked over.
"One day, I will definitely kill you."
Leaving such words, Anna walked into Uruk.
"Yes, yes." Merlin didn't care, and then smiled at Luo Zhen and Maxiu, "Then, let's go too."
"Okay... OK." Mashu looked indescribable.
Luo Zhen rolled his eyes directly.
