Fate: Path Hero# chapter 15: Unexpected situation
🕑 Added 2025-02-03 06:09:06 +0000 UTC"Phew, this is a view I never get tired of no matter how many times I see it!"
Gilgamesh stood on the high platform and looked at everything before him and said.
Then he opened his arms and let the wind blow freely over him.
Siduri also opened her mouth slightly and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her.
This was the first time she came to the Euphrates River.
Because as the next priestess, she had always received strict training.
Only recently has she been spending more relaxed time with Ryū and Gilgamesh.
As for Ryū, he was also silently feeling the shock that the scene in front of him brought to him.
This was the most amazing river he had ever seen in his life.
Just as the three were moved by the river scenery, many animals came to the Euphrates River to drink water.
Such as ferocious beasts such as lions and tigers, and calm beasts such as cows and sheep.
They all drink the water here in peace.
Seeing this scene, Gilgamesh took the initiative to explain:
“This is a magical scene around the Euphrates River. The wild animals drinking the water beside the river will have an implicit calm. They will not fight or hunt here until they leave the Euphrates River area. They will reveal their ferocity.”
Ryū listened and nodded silently.
He has seen this phenomenon in some books.
However, most of them are literary works and fictions of the authors.
But what is happening in front of him now is real.
“It is said that this phenomenon is a rule made by Mother Earth specifically to protect life. Otherwise, meek animals such as cows and sheep would be prey to many ferocious beasts when drinking water. This is exactly what shows the loving side of Mother Earth.”
As a young priestess, Siduri's attitude toward the gods was that of a young fan girl.
Her words at this time were merely an expression of her feelings, but Ryū clearly saw the displeasure flashing on Gilgamesh's face.
When a person who was destined to rebel against the gods heard such words praising the gods, he would inevitably feel impatient.
But it's okay.
Gilgamesh at this moment is not yet the future tyrant king.
So he didn't say anything in response at this time.
Just remain silent.
At this moment, something strange suddenly happened in the Euphrates River.
This anomaly immediately attracted the attention of the three people.
Suddenly, the calm river surface began to roll.
Rumble.
Accompanied by a rumbling sound, the level of the Euphrates River rose a lot at a very fast speed.
Many animals drinking water beside the river did not have time to react to such a sudden change and drowned in the river.
Only a few screams belonging to them were left behind.
And when all the animals fled in all directions, the surface of the Euphrates River returned to calm again.
Everything that has just happened was like the Euphrates River was hunting!
This scene made the three of them look strange.
"Has this ever happened before?"
Ryū frowned and said.
“Earlier, a minister informed my father that something unusual had happened in the Euphrates River. Later, my father issued an order forbidding civilians from going to the Euphrates River. Now it seems that this is the alleged unusual change.”
Gilgamesh answered with a serious expression.
“How could this happen? Why is this happening to the Euphrates River? If this situation continues, won't Uruk be affected as well?!”
Siduri covered her mouth and looked at the river in front of her with some horror and said.
All water sources in the city-state of Uruk come from this mother river.
Lugal had previously mobilized the people to dig a small tributary from the Euphrates River through Uruk, so that Uruk would have sufficient water sources.
“So far, I have not heard of similar situations in the tributaries of the city-state. This situation seems to currently only occur in the main river channel of the Euphrates.”
Gilgamesh said.
Ryū who had remained silent until now tried to observe the river through the ability he gained to see through illusions and reality that ordinary people cannot see.
But after a quick glance, he couldn't see anything unusual.
This made him frown deeply
“If this situation only occurs in the main river, there is no need to worry too much, but if this situation continues to spread and appears in the tributaries within Uruk City, it will be very dangerous.”
Ryū said seriously.
Gilgamesh nodded in agreement.
Siduri's face flashed with worry.
The three people's initial excitement and joy had also completely disappeared at this moment.
