At this moment, an old man suddenly spoke up, his eyes filled with memories: "That song is exactly the same as that of Lagash's "Chief Miko" Shanhant. Lord Shanhant once served the goddess Ningsun, the daughter of Anu, the "king of the gods". That song is the blessing that Goddess Ning Sun bestowed upon her. "

"When I was a child, Lord Shanhant already existed. I heard that there was a war between the city-state of Lagash and the city-state of Wenma at that time. Lord Shanhant stunned the enemy with his singing and defeated the city-state of Wenma. "

The old man said slowly. After he finished speaking, the previous hunter was taken aback: "The city-state of Wenma? The legendary king of Uruk in Sumer, Lugarbanda, came from there. There and the city-state of Lagash came from there. Has there been a war yet? I never heard of it."

The old man shook his head slightly and smiled and said, "You are still young, so it is normal that you have not heard of some things. After all, it happened more than 480 years ago."

The hunter heard the words, looked at the old man and asked, "Well, this old man, how old are you this year?"

"No more, no less, five hundred years old this year."

"…"

While the two were chatting casually, among the hunters, a girl in a tulle looked meaningfully to the southwest and murmured, "God's shelter...?"

"What's the matter, Siduri?"

At this time, an older woman next to the girl looked at the girl and said, "Speaking of which, the day before yesterday really scared me to death... Those beasts almost gave you... Well, let's not talk about that. What are you thinking? ?"

"No... I'm not thinking about anything." Siduri smiled slightly: "I was just thinking that the ale I brewed for everyone should be able to drink after I go back."

"Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it." The woman showed an expectant smile, and then said: "Look, they're talking about witches again. Siduri...Look at Lagash's witches, you're actually looking forward to it. Are you qualified to be a shrine maiden? Why not try to be a shrine maiden?"

Siduri shook her head gently and said, "It's good that I can live a simple life. Besides... I think it's a bit unsuitable for my character to dedicate everything to the gods."

The woman couldn't help frowning, and was about to speak - just at this moment, suddenly, a slight vibration sounded.

The hunters couldn't help but stop and looked towards the south strangely.

——The vibration sounded from the south.

At first, it was as subtle as the sound of mosquitoes. But gradually, it suddenly turned into a loud roar.

earthquake? No, that's not an earthquake.

That is the sound of beasts galloping!

rumbling...

The sound of the gathering of beasts like thunder, its rushing sound is extremely loud and deafening.

——In the distance, the dark shadows of countless beasts gradually appeared in the distance.

There was no sign at all, the beasts all over the mountains and plains joined in one after another when the beast tide was rushing...

Wolf, bear, tiger, leopard. Lions, wild boars, elk, eagles... you name it! I just can't think of it, I can't see it...

"It's a beast tide!" Someone exclaimed. But needless to say, everyone has seen it...

Many hunters have fallen to the ground.

At this time, the old man before suddenly said: "Don't worry, everyone, the beast tide is not coming in this direction..."

"Judging from the galloping line of the beast tide, they seem to have a clear goal. But they are not coming towards us. So everyone just needs to be careful... That position seems to be..."

The old man's words came to an abrupt end here.

Lagash! ?

The furious tide of the beast dared to attack "God Blessed City" Lagash! ? Don't they fear divine condemnation?

The old man did not dare to say this sentence, otherwise, it is likely to cause even greater panic among many hunters.

As for the hunters, after hearing that the beast's target was not theirs, most of them calmed down. Although many of them were still paralyzed, they were relieved.

The older woman before was also relieved: "Hu... Siduri. I was shocked, I thought... Siduri?"

The woman was stunned for a moment. Siduri, who was still talking to herself just now, disappeared out of thin air while the crowd was in chaos, and she didn't know where she went.

The shrine maiden who was "Gong Feng" was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Rimuru.

I saw Limuru put her right hand on her forehead and gently stroked:

"Miko, I have already felt your respect. I am a body of clay, equal to the earth. When you kiss the earth, you are kissing me. Therefore, there is no need to perform rituals such as "kissing my feet" on me. But in response to your respect, I will return the gift with such etiquette.

Rimuru didn't know what kind of etiquette this was.

In fact, K's first thought was to replace it with "baptism" similar to Christianity. But unfortunately, there is no river and no water nearby.

You can't take mud and baptize people, right?

If that's the case, it's better to just touch the head.

What is this ritual called? Head touch?

Is there such an etiquette?

Um... it seems there is.

It seems that in many countries, "touching the head" is a higher level of etiquette than "kissing the feet".

Especially in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and other countries, this kind of etiquette is an honor for the high-ranking people to the low-ranking people.

Of course... Sumerian probably didn't have that kind of etiquette. But this did not affect Limuru's free play.

After all, this is also in line with the principle of "what makes me small makes you great".

And... the effect seems to be pretty good?

"En... Lord Enkidu!"

After performing the "head touching ceremony", the girl suddenly showed a look of tears in her eyes, obviously extremely excited.

After a moment, she withdrew with excitement. I am still reminiscing with the people next to me how I was touched by "touching my head": "Lord Enkidu's hands are so soft!"

The third shrine maiden, who also offered courtesy, was a stone axe.

Khan, where did you get such a big axe from? Wait, did I see someone behind the Miko carrying a huge stone spear! ?

Rimuru suppressed the desire to complain, took the stone axe, and also used "transfiguration" to put it into her body, and continued to perform "head touching ceremony".

In other words, it feels like playing a cat...

"Mi woo..." Because of the preparations, the third shrine maiden was excited, but she did not burst into tears like Shanhant and the second shrine maiden. Instead, she was already prepared, and her eyes narrowed with happiness on her face. expression.
