Chapter 893 The Temptation of Treasure

The king of the gods in Mesopotamia was Anu, and Ishtar was Anu's daughter and the most favored one.

Ishtar is the god of love, fertility, war, nature and harvest, and is also the goddess of Venus.

She is classified among the good gods, but her character is extremely naughty.

The most egregious thing among them was that because of the conflict with Gilgamesh, he summoned the Bull of Heaven to Uruk - it was a gift from Anu to Ishtar, a terror that even Ishtar himself could not completely control.

mythical beast.

If King Gilgamesh and Enkidu hadn't worked together to drive away the Bull of Heaven, Uruk might no longer exist.

The various little troubles she usually causes are countless.

It can be seen from this that she is by no means the kind of god who protects human lives as her own. The so-called "good" in her heart should be said to be considered in the context of the entire Mesopotamian plain.

Human beings are just a part of the entire Mesopotamia. In addition, there are all living things and the most important gods!

However, since King Gilgamesh raised this point, he naturally had his own confidence.

"Ishtar is a person who is obsessed with treasure, but has no Golden Rule of her own."

The Golden Rule is a skill that has a certain effect on wealth. Gilgamesh has an A-level Golden Rule, so he can spend his whole life lavishly and still be rich.

And Ishtar, who does not have the golden rule, does not mean that she cannot make money, but that she cannot make much money. Every time she gets money, she earns it through her own ability. And she will get it no matter how much she pays.

How many.

If it were just an ordinary person, this would be natural, but Ishtar is a goddess, and a goddess who loves money extremely. Of course, she is extremely dissatisfied with this kind of wealth.

It's a pity that fate has already made its decision. Without the golden rule, there is nothing.

So, what should you do if you want to deal with a person who loves money very much but has no money?

Of course it was spent money!

King Gilgamesh waved his hand, and the space fluctuated. A pile of shining golden treasures came out of the space and piled on the ground of the palace, forming a hill as high as one person.

"Here, there are fully 30% of the treasures in my treasure house. Use these to bribe that greedy goddess!"

King Gilgamesh's treasure house contains countless treasures. Note that not everything can be called a treasure.

Picking up a piece of nugget gold and smashing a gold pancake are considered valuable to ordinary people, but to Gilgamesh, it is just garbage.

Only when the value is integrated with artistry, history, storytelling and other properties can it become a treasure valued by Gilgamesh.

Every piece of treasure on this hill as tall as a man is rare and can tell a story.

If these treasures were sold and turned into simple gold coins, it would be enough to fill the entire Uruk.

Such a valuable thing is only 30% of King Gilgamesh's treasure house.

It can only be said that Gilgamesh is too rich.

With these 30% of the treasure, everyone left Uruk and headed for Mount Abif.

This mountain is so high that even the gods dare not climb it, but in the end, it was conquered by Ishtar, so Ishtar built a palace of his own on this mountain, symbolizing that this kind of mountain has been conquered by himself.

conquer.

It is very easy to find a palace on a deserted mountain.

Riding the sun carriage, everyone quickly found Ishtar's palace.

It was a palace made of gold, extremely luxurious, and completely displayed its wealth in front of everyone.

"This is the symbol of the Venus goddess Ishtar's conquest of Mount Abif!"

Matthew looked at the extremely luxurious palace and said in surprise.

But what Luo Zhi was thinking was: "Ishtar is such a persevering god!"

With Ishtar's wealth, the effort required to build such a golden palace is roughly equivalent to a working man with a monthly income of 1,000 yuan buying a multi-million dollar car - it would take a thousand years to complete.

, there should be no interruption in the middle.

To accomplish such a feat, one can imagine Ishtar’s perseverance.

"What are you doing here?"

A crisp sound sounded, and a strange crescent-shaped object appeared in front of the Sun Carriage.

This is Ishtar's bow and spaceship 'Ma Anna', and Ishtar is sitting on Ma Anna, looking at everyone, with a hint of... desire in her eyes!

What she longs for is naturally not Luo Zhi and others, but the vehicle Luo Zhi rides on, the Sun Carriage.

This carriage is really too cool. Even if it suppresses all the anomalies, it is still luxurious to the extreme. The whole carriage is made of gold and exudes the brilliance of the sun. The main warehouse is a palace, large and comfortable.

In comparison, Ishtar's Maanna is just a crescent-shaped longbow that is slightly taller than Ishtar. It has a strange shape, but it is too simple.

Ishtar has never disliked her Ma Anna.

Until she saw the Sun Carriage.

"Ishtar, we are here to negotiate with you." Fujimaru stood up and said.

"Negotiation?" Ishtar withdrew his gaze and said arrogantly: "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with the goddess?"

"We represent King Uruk and Gilgamesh!"

"Oh? In that case, you are allowed to speak in front of the goddess. Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka said: "We want to hire you to join Uruk to resist the attack of the Goddess of Warcraft."

"Refuse." Ishtar said directly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned and quickly shouted: "Ishtar, please look at our reward!"

Said the group, pushing open the front door of the Sun Carriage, revealing a large pile of treasure.

The dazzling golden light and the smell of treasure immediately made Ishtar turn around.

She was also extremely shocked when she saw the pile of treasures.

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately said: "Here are 20% of all the treasures of King Gilgamesh. If you agree, all of these will be your reward!"

"Twenty percent!"

Ishtar was startled, and his eyes seemed to have turned into the shape of gold coins. He stared at the pile of treasures without moving his eyes.

It was obvious that she was really moved.

But unfortunately, after a few seconds, Ishtar forced herself to turn her head and said, "Sorry, I still refuse."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said: "Then, increase the price to 2.50%. This is the highest price we can offer!"

This time, Ishtar turned his head away from looking at the treasures, and said with a trembling voice: "Sorry, I still refuse."

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know what to do for a moment.

Although he got 30% of the treasure, according to the principle of bargaining, he only said it was 20% at the beginning. If Ishtar was interested, he could naturally increase the price to 30% slowly.

Ishtar's performance clearly showed that she was very moved, but she still refused.

And she refused categorically!
