When everyone was entangled in these messy things, only Merlin was clearly paying attention to Wu Ming.
He felt that Wu Ming's current expression was slightly similar to how he felt when he faced Artoria.
Even though the object was different, the current silence really gave Merlin that kind of feeling.
A father's worries.
That's right, the current Wu Ming seemed to be worried about his disobedient daughter.
Wu Ming was really worried.
Everyone in Mesopotamia knew that Ishtar was spoiled by the gods, and even though she was a good goddess, she always did "evil" acts.
In the beginning, the reason why Wu Ming came to Uruk was mainly because after he was overwhelmed by Morgan le Fay, he coincidentally exposed the Dragon of the Root bloodline, so that Wu Ming could be used when he was a minor.
However Wu Ming at that time was too young to adapt to the Dragon of the Root body, and his bloodline awakening wasn't perfect, so he couldn't control his body as perfectly as he is now.
No matter what, he woke up accidentally.
Moreover, Wu Ming was indeed slightly injured back then, otherwise he would not have hidden and recuperated then, but was observing Uruk with the statues that people had built for him as his own eyes.
After that, he used these "eyes" to witness Ishtar's series of "evil deeds".
Wu Ming didn't hate Ishtar, nor did he hate anyone, as long as no one came to provoke him.
As long as no one came to provoke him, anything could be said.
Wu Ming's attitude towards Ishtar was also the same, as long as Ishtar did not provoke him, he would not pay attention to Ishtar.
But things backfired. From time to time, Ishtar would do some very troublesome things, and it was easy to provoke Wu Ming. The people of Uruk always pray to Wu Ming.
The content of the prayer is not something superfluous to get rid of the goddess Ishtar, but is basically a complaint against Ishtar and a prayer for Ishtar to stop her "evil deeds".
Wu Ming was respected and trusted by the citizens of Uruk and even Mesopotamia. When Ishtar really went too far and provoked himself, Wu Ming would teach Ishtar a lesson like knocking Ishtar off Uruk a little twice.
At that time, Wu Ming was completely unfamiliar with his dragon body. He did not have a certain level of understanding and development. Naturally, it wasn't strong, but not weak enough that even Ishtar couldn't beat it.
It made sense that the Dragon of the Root's body would not fully recover until Wu Ming became an adult. Coincidentally, it could be considered to give him a lot of strength growth.
However even if Wu Ming was better than Ishtar, after all, the Sumerian gods were still present at that time, even if it was a lesson, he could not overdo it.
Even the Sumerian gods were afraid of Wu Ming's identity, but if Wu Ming really didn't give face to the gods and taught Ishtar harshly, the Sumerian gods would not stand idly by in the end.
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, not to mention these gods.
Therefore, the invincible Wu Ming must learn to be moderate.
Also, that doesn't mean we should use violence to teach lessons, in most cases wisdom is better than strength.
Especially in the face of Ishtar, the spoiled Mistress of Heaven, Wu Ming found it very easy to deal with her with his brain.
Yet this person is like a scar that heals and forgets the pain. After a few days, she would naturally return as if nothing had happened, and the King of the gods An, namely Ishtar's father once came to Wu Ming, and the two of them had a brief conversation about Ishtar.
Nothing more than taking care of Ishtar a lot, she is young and stupid, etc., the king of the gods An is very much like an old man.
However whenever Wu Ming talked about Ishtar's mistakes, the other party always changed the subject with a smile, and kept asking him to help take care of Ishtar.
This made Wu Ming extremely helpless. After all, even if he asked him to look after Ishtar, he couldn't take care of her. After all, Ishtar had absolutely no respect for Wu Ming.
To put it simply, Ishtar was unwilling to listen to Wu Ming's words at all.
Like a naughty student being reprimanded by the principal. On the surface, she said that she would change his mind, but after that, not a few people forgot what they had promised.
Ishtar was definitely a "student", and she hadn't shown the slightest bit of willingness to obey, either on the light side or the dark side.
It is still going its own way, and the end result is to intensify.
The Bull of Heaven Incident was the embodiment of Ishtar's intensification.
But that's not the only downside. Ever since the Bull of Heaven incident, Ishtar had a slight fear of Wu Ming. Although Ishtar herself was unable to notice it, Wu Ming clearly discovered this.
And Wu Ming was also very prejudiced because Ishtar indirectly released the bull of heaven, so after that he became more strict with Ishtar, and Ishtar who had traces of fear was also captured.
This may be the origin of the legend that was recorded in the legends in later generations was "the god of the city of Uruk who captured Ishtar by the Dragon Sage of Uruk"
Not long after, the gods gradually separated from humans, and gradually separated from the human world, Wu Ming also left Uruk with Enkidu, who had been exploited by herself to avoid death.
However after the Bull of Heaven incident, the nature between Wu Ming and Ishtar had indeed changed, moreover now that Ishtar had emerged as a Pseudo-Servant, the special relationship between the two was clearer.
If I had to say it, it was like going from a relationship between a melancholic principal and a naughty student to an old father and a spoiled daughter.
Because Ishtar still has "kindness" in her bones, and Wu Ming's previous actions were all good intentions, and after the gods like the king of gods An and other gods disappeared, Ishtar who appeared here as a Pseudo-Servant, would be very good at the past felt dependent on Dragon Sage Uruk, who was very strict with her.
It's like, a naughty student whose father had an accident unknowingly will seek help from a teacher who is next door to her and who used to care for and teach her a lesson.
But neither of them paid any attention to this, otherwise it wouldn't be what it is today.
On the other hand, as an "observer", Merlin sees through everything. This is what might be called "bystander-obsessed authorities."
"That… Vero senpai, what should we do next?"
After all, Mashu thought that his brain couldn't think anymore. This chain of events overwhelmed her, and she didn't know what to do next.
"Continue up the mountain." Wu Ming pointed at the faintly visible palace on the mountain, and immediately took action.
"Since they are all here, I don't want to bring Ishtar back, no matter how I feel about it."
However right after Wu Ming's words finished, the entire Mountain shook violently.
