647: City of Ur

A day off.

The next day, Fujimaru Rika and others gathered all the remaining citizens of Ur City and began a series of work such as counting and comforting.

Baihua, Altaire and Ishtar did not participate.

Ishtar advocated that as a goddess, even if she wanted to help, she was powerless in such matters, and ordinary people would only be even more nervous when they saw her.

For this reason, get away with it.

As for Bai Hua, even if he wanted to participate, it would only make the rest of the people worried. Altaire sat silently beside Bai Hua in the name of taking care of Bai Hua, but he could not see any movement or words.

Looking at the crowd busy around Ur City, Altay sighed when he looked at Ur City.

The city of Ur, which has experienced a catastrophe, has completely disappeared.

When houses collapsed, whether it was buildings such as altars, livestock and tools, they were almost all integrated with the ruins, leaving only fragmented residues. The people in Ur City were also covered with a strong atmosphere of decay. The dense forests and vines covering the city also withered a lot in just one day because of Quezal's exit.

If you continue, this abnormal ecosystem will return to its original state and the monsters will gradually invade in.

By the time everyone had identified the number and losses, it was already noon and the sun was shining brightly.

“400…only 400.”

Facing people who either lower their heads or sigh, Fujimaru Rika couldn't help but whisper a number that could not be considered a drop in a bucket for a city.

400.

What can 400 people do?

Reclaim a piece of land or rebuild a house?

No, even the normal operation of the basic city can't be maintained.

However, the fact is that after the attack of the Gemini God, only these 400 people remained in Ur City.

While shocking Fujimaru Rika, she felt guilty.

"Damn it! If we were... If we were a little earlier, if I could be stronger, if I could find out earlier, I wouldn't..."

"Tengmaru-kun." Meilin patted Tengmaru Rika's shoulder comfortably and said seriously: "I'm a little arrogant. You don't have to impose all the tragedies on yourself. You have done a good job. No one can blame you. You must know that ordinary mortals do not have the courage to face God."

This seems to mean something else.

Fujimaru Rika was stunned, and then followed Meilin's gaze and soon discovered an abnormality.

"Why are all women and children?"

That's right, most of the remaining 400 people are women and young children, but they are the elderly. Young and middle-aged people who can provide labor need to be carefully observed for a while before they can find one or two.

Very abnormal.

"Does it mean-"

Fujimaru Rika almost screamed as if she had thought of something.

In fact, yesterday, they did not do anything. They used magic to connect with Uruk, report on the situation, and investigate Ellidu.

Although Quezal died and Gemini left, no one could guarantee that the city where the Temple of the Sun was established, there was something else, or information that would be helpful to the human side. It would be fine if you didn't investigate, but if you investigate it in depth, it would be a cruel fact.

Under the altar and near the city, there are all fresh corpses.

Some lost half of their bodies, some lost their heads, some left with only some limbs, and some were directly burned to ashes by the dragon breath.

"Are they those people? Are the people in Ur City dead in Eli?" Fujimaru Rika asked Merlin in a low voice, for fear that the people in Ur City would listen.

They did not inform the masses of the city of Ellie.

After all, that was too cruel, far from something that the Ur city people who had lost their homes could bear.

However, Merlin shook her head.

"It can be said that, but it cannot be said that it is completely correct." He stood up calmly, took two steps forward in Fujimaru Rika's puzzled gaze, and whispered loudly: "If the 400 people in front of us were only 400 left because of the attack of the dragon group. Then, why do you look just terrifying and not sad at all?"

One by one, everyone buried their heads deeper.

Lost relatives and friends.

Even if it is lost, the young and middle-aged people who support the survival of the entire group will not be just fear.

"Tengmaru, I like you to think about everything as best as possible. But sometimes you have to face the reality. It is not that 400 people remained under the attack of the dragon group, but because, before we came, there were only these people left in Ur City."

Yesterday was Merlin's magic, which transferred everyone.

As the crown caster, Merlin could not even remember the number of people after casting a spell.

Furthermore, even if you are attacked by a group of dragons, the young and middle-aged people have a higher probability of survival.

How did a group of old, weak and sick scholars escape under the sharp claws of dragons?

Even so, Meilin did not continue to say what happened next, but looked at Fujimaru Rika, waiting for the final master of mankind and hope to judge.

Fujimaru Rika pondered for a long time, and finally nodded, taking the initiative to start the topic.

"We are the mission sent by King Gilgamesh. Now, Ur city has been destroyed under the attack of the dragon group, but don't worry, we will escort everyone to Uruk next, where is safe."

Unfortunately, this did not receive an immediate response.

The people of Ur were almost revealed by Meilin before, and they were guilty at this moment, and they did not dare to look directly at Fujimaru Rika's sight. Even if they had saved their lives before, they would not be enough to win their trust.

In other words, staying with Fujimaru Rika and others who knew the truth vaguely would make them even more uneasy.

"No...no, Ur is a safe city."

"Yes, Ur is safe, we have no need to migrate."

"Yes, the goddess in the jungle has always protected us. As long as the goddess is there, we will be... very safe."

If they don't believe it themselves.

How convincing is it to say such words while trembling?

"I'm sorry, the goddess of the Jungle can no longer protect you." Fujimaru Rika said with a calm face.

"Impossible!" A goddess retorted with excitement: "We have sacrificed a living sacrifice!"

Yes, so many living sacrifices have been offered, and even now, it can be said that almost all the men in the city have been given up, which can be said to have cut off the foundation for the reproduction of the city with their own hands. If the "Jungle Goddess" cannot protect them in this situation, it will seem that they are doing useless work, so the sacrifices are all self-evasion, which is ridiculous and stupid?

It's not the same as pushing their companions to death.

It was like, they killed their companions.

Sacrifice in vain?

Futile patience?

This is something that no one in Ur city can accept.

"Yes...you are lying to us, you are lying to others! Be careful...be careful Goddess punishes you!" He said such words of self-escaping.

Even more, he knelt on the ground and began to pray.
Chapter completed!
