Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 401: Mesopotamia

"Moran, sir, why are you taking so many pictures? What do you plan to do with them?"

"I'm preparing all of this to wait for the opportunity to bring them out later, to copy millions of copies for the world to enjoy. It will definitely be very interesting."

Moran said with a sly smile.

Right now, these things have no lethality, but when Gilgamesh grows up to be a future king, Moran will have to bring them out for appreciation.

He would directly cause the ancient hero king to die on the spot.

It was rare to become Gilgamesh's brother in the simulation; it wouldn't do to not make good use of this point.

"Hehe, how wicked, Moran. But I also like this wicked side of you~!"

"Hehe, how can that be considered wicked? This is just my care as an older brother for my little brother..."

Moran also became a bit interested.

Indeed, coming to this land of Mesopotamia was the right decision; he had witnessed interesting things.

Whether it was the maternal love Ninsun gave him or the interesting sibling bond.

Then, Ninsun picked up the crying Gilgamesh, and with just a few simple words, she calmed the child down.

In her eyes, Moran had just been saying goodbye to his brother Gilgamesh in a brotherly way.

"... Don't stray too far from home."

"Mm, I know."

Moran nodded once again.

Originally, Ninsun wanted to say more, but in the end, she swallowed her words back down.

If she said more, she wouldn't be able to stop.

She didn't want to be too nagging of a mother.

However, watching her child leave home for the first time, going to a place she couldn't see, it was only natural to be concerned.

[Afterward, Ninsun tearfully sent you out of the garden]

[You were about to embark on your journey]

[When you saw yourself walking along the forest path, that beautiful scene loved by nature and all living beings]

[Beasts would bow their heads in loyalty at your arrival, the unyielding ivy would choose to yield to your divine grace, as if even gravity had turned into the wind waves wishing you a safe journey]

[—She was deeply moved from the bottom of her heart]

[This was the child she had given birth to, and now, you could spread your wings and soar into the outside world]

[In that moment, Ninsun seemed to see the scene of humanity bidding farewell to the gods. Although she was a goddess, there was no dissatisfaction or anger in her heart, only joy for her child's growth]

[As a mother, she not only hoped you could live as a god, but she also wished for you to experience the joys of being human]

[This was just a very pure and simple wish]

[Your goal in moving forward is Ur]

[To travel freely across the land of Mesopotamia, the first thing you need is proof of passage to various cities and thoroughfares]

[In other words, it is a passage seal]

[Although Mesopotamia is separated from modern times by a long span of five thousand years, this does not mean that human systems are not well-developed]

[The age of the gods was not inferior to the modern prosperous era]

[Census, registration systems, livelihood management... even educational systems. These were all well-established in the Uruk dynasty, and geometry had already appeared in this era]

[The Mesopotamian region is the birthplace of many innovations, including writing, the wheel, agriculture, arches, plows, and irrigation]

[It can be said to be the cradle of civilization]

[In times even more ancient than Mesopotamia, there were many cultures that were not inferior to Sumer, but unfortunately, most of them were destroyed due to the invasion of the star warriors]

[For example, the Greek pantheon you once belonged to, due to the blessings and guidance of the machine gods, had a very high level of technology]

[Now, what remains on this land are the surviving civilizations]

[Sumerian culture is just one of the most advanced among them; they are also walking on the path laid down by their ancestors]

[Returning to the matter of the passage seal—]

[The wholesale passage seals are generally issued by the local city's high priest or officials granted authority to manage the city by the king of Uruk]

[In most cases, the wholesale passage seals are for commercial use, limited to travel from one city to another, and very few seals allow free passage across the land of Mesopotamia] freewēbnoveℓ.com

[Basically, this is the highest level of seal authority, and obtaining it is not something that just any city can wholesale]

[Only Uruk, as the capital, has the possibility of obtaining such a high-standard passage seal from the high priest or the king]

[You possess the divine authority seal given by Ninsun]

[This symbolizes the authority of the gods]

[Such things are completely unattainable for ordinary people; only high priests and similar believers can obtain them]

[In the land of the gods of Mesopotamia]

[The high priest responsible for worshiping the gods holds a position almost only beneath the king of Uruk]

[After all, this is the age of the gods, the era of divine existence]

[Humans ultimately must be subordinate to the gods]

[With the divine authority seal granted by Ninsun, you can indeed travel freely across the land... but it will bring many unnecessary troubles]

[Whenever you arrive in a new city with your mother Ninsun's divine authority seal, the locals, upon seeing you hold the divine authority seal of the Wild cows Goddess Ninsun, would all show signs of fear and trepidation]

[In Mesopotamia, it is quite common for deities to kill humans. The gods are absolute beings.]

[Take the god-king Enlil as an example; the apocalyptic disasters led by him ravaged the Sumerians three times.]

[The reason is very simple.]

[The population of humans has increased to the point where the gods cannot sleep, and their irritation makes them feel that the humans they once created are perhaps a bit too numerous.]

[Thus, they thought of destroying humanity.]

[Famine, plague, war, celestial collapse, earthquakes, floods—almost all the Sumerian gods unleashed a set of calamities.]

[Growing up in such an environment, the Sumerians were almost educated from a young age that they must never defy the gods; otherwise, they might face apocalyptic disasters.]

[Now, you have presented the divine seal, equivalent to the goddess's identity symbol, which can essentially be seen as the goddess herself being present.]

[The city you have come to is Uruk.]

[Here, the people kneel before you with immense piety and fear; their faith and love are undoubtedly present.]

[However, what you see more among them is fear.]

[The people are afraid of the gods bringing down calamities.]
