Chapter 279 The oldest king is coming back!

When the two soldiers entered their attack range, Gilgamesh chose to take the initiative.

Modern and refined fighting techniques shone dazzlingly in the Babylonian period a long time ago.

In just a few seconds, Gilgamesh subdued two soldiers holding conflicts and knocked them unconscious.

It was not until this time that Gilgamesh breathed a little relieved, but Gilgamesh knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time.

Gilgamesh, who had originally wanted to leave like this, seemed to have thought of something and went straight to remove one of the soldiers' helmets, light armor and linings.

Then, Gilgamesh began to change his clothes on the spot.

After more than ten minutes, Gilgamesh, who had as many female characteristics as possible, wore soldiers' clothes, held spears and shields, and began to find the way to the tower.

The Shang Temple on the top of the Tower of Babel is also a forbidden area for the soldiers guarding the top of the tower.

Therefore, at the top of the Tower of Babel, there must be a passage for soldiers to leave.

The top area of ​​the Tower of Babel is about 6,000 square meters, of which Shangmiao occupies most of the locations.

Therefore, the passage for soldiers to enter and exit is not difficult to find.

I don’t know if it was because of the soldier’s outfit or because of luck that favored Gilgamesh, which made Gilgamesh’s road from the tower very smooth.

Eventually, Gilgamesh left the Tower of Babel.

As soon as he left the Tower of Babel, Gilgamesh saw the holy path connecting the Tower of Babel and Ishtarmen.

The reason why it is called the Holy Way is because when Babylon holds New Year celebrations every year, the temple priests will carry the statue of Marduke and other statues to march through this avenue.

Therefore, this great way can be said to be the passage of all gods in Babylon, that is, the holy way.

The ground of the Holy Path is not covered with ordinary bricks and stones, but white and rose marble slabs that are one meter square.

On both sides of the Holy Path are tall city walls, which are inlaid with ornate glazed bricks, with various exquisite bas-reliefs on them.

In addition, there are many arrow towers on the top of the city wall, and the figures of soldiers guarding can be clearly seen.

Gilgamesh knew that when soldiers were guarding, the holy path could not be walked no matter what. If you want to walk, you could only walk the ordinary brick and stone paths on both sides of the holy path.

After taking a deep breath, Gilgamesh walked towards Ishtar Gate through the brick and stone path on the left side of the Holy Road.

During this process, Gilgamesh's heart kept beating at high speed, afraid that the soldiers would stop checking.

However, because Gilgamesh himself wore soldiers' clothes.

So, although some soldiers discovered Gilgamesh, they didn't care.

In this way, Gilgamesh moved forward all the way to the front of Ishtar.

When he first saw Ishtarmen, Gilgamesh had to admit that he was shocked.

The Ishtar Gate can be said to be the most famous gate in the city of Babylon.

There are more than 100 gates in the city of Babylon, so it is also known as a city of hundreds of gates.

Among the more than 100 city gates, there are eight main gates named after the name of God, located in eight directions of the city of Babylon.

Among them, Ishtarmen is located in the north of the city of Babylon.

At this moment, the Ishtar Gate present in front of Gilgamesh has two walls, more than ten meters high, with prominent towers on both sides.

The most important thing is that the walls of the city walls and towers are made of navy blue glazed tiles, and the entire wall is decorated with reliefs of bison and dragon beasts made of hundreds of ceramic tiles.

This perfectly mixes artistic beauty with architectural heaviness, bringing a double impact to Gilgamesh's senses.

在震撼之余,吉尔伽美什也在疑惑.

Among the Babylonian civilizations known to Gilgamesh, Ishtarmen should be a famous building belonging to the Neo-Babylonian period.

However, I traveled through time and space through the Code of Hammurabi and went back to the past. It should have been a time to travel to the ancient Babylonian period in which Hammurabi lived.

However, ancient Babylon has been around for thousands of years since the age of Gilgamesh, and many things are no longer meticulous.

It is possible that Ishtarmen had existed since ancient Babylon.

The ancient Babylonian period and the neo-Babylonian period are two different periods that exist in human history, with a distance of more than a thousand years.

The most famous figure in ancient Babylonian period was Hammurabi.

As for the most famous figure in the Neo-Babylonian period, it was Nebuchadnezzar II.

The legendary Babylonian sky garden was built by Nebuchadnezzar II for his queen Ameidis.

Without thinking too much, Gilgamesh knew his current situation. After forcing himself to calm down, he resolutely passed the open Ishtar Gate.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when Gilgamesh walked past Ishtarmen, he seemed to hear an ethereal, ethereal voice, saying in an ancient Sumerian language, “You… are finally back…”

On the other hand, the most magnificent building in Babylon City is the hall of the royal palace.

A middle-aged man with a calm and solemn face and a majestic atmosphere was sitting on the throne poured with gold and jewelry, listening to the ministers below reporting on the situation in the city of Babylon.

The ministers were obviously very afraid of the middle-aged men sitting on the throne. They all maintained humble standing postures, lowered their heads and did not dare to interfere with the middle-aged men's sight.

After all, the king in front of him was Hammurabi, who created the prosperous Babylonian era. His majesty and aura were so powerful that both of them dared not look directly at him.

During this process, the king's eunuch seemed to have received some news, and looked shocked, and hurried to Hammurabi's side, bowed his head and said something in Hammurabi's ear.

Then, Hammurabi's face showed a look of surprise, and a happier look on his calm and solemn face.

Immediately afterwards, Hammurabi suddenly stood up from the throne, walked out of the hall of convention, and came to the balcony outside the hall, looking into the void from afar, as if penetrating the infinite time and space, murmured, "Three days later, the day of destiny."

"There are variables now. Does it mean that fate will be changed..."

As he spoke, Hammurabi took out a palm-sized, inconspicuous stone slab from his wide robe and continued, "Answer me, the stone slab of destiny!"

After Hammurabi finished speaking, cuneiform characters appeared on the stone slab.

Hammurabi subconsciously followed him and said word by word.

“最古之王,将要归来...”

"Heroes who carry the glory of mankind will also follow the ancient kings and come to this world..."

"This is...a farewell battle between humans and gods in this world..."
