704. Ishtar Was Deceived
In fact, it was an import, a northern deity brought over by the Toltecs when they ruled the Mayan cities. All ethnic groups in Central America generally believe in this feathered snake god.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different myths about Feathered Serpent.
It was known as a corn (grain) supplier, and the clear pictures of it controlling rainfall to provide water led some to believe that Quetzalcoatl was the god of plants.
The Aztecs also believed that Feathered Serpent could turn people into warriors with tall crowns on their heads and clothes with jade pendants.
Another role that the pendant is said to represent is that of the god of wind and motion.
The American Group is the only community that enshrines the Feathered Serpent God.
"Speaking of which, how exactly are you going to instigate Ereshkigal?"
While Higashino Yuu was concentrating on checking the feathered snake god's information, Ishtar couldn't bear his curiosity and asked curiously.
To this, Higashino Yu raised his head and glanced at the sun that was about to set, and then looked at Ishtar meaningfully.
"This is a secret, but don't worry, you will go to sleep obediently in a while, and 533 will leave the rest to me!"
"ah?"
Hearing what Higashino Yu said, Ishtar became even more curious.
"Did you know her before?"
"No, it can be said that this is the first time the two of us have met.
Tono Yuu shook his head and said.
Although Ishtar has destroyed 99% of the possibility of instigating rebellion on both sides, as long as there is only one percent left, Higashino Yuu may succeed.
Although they didn't know what Higashino Yu was going to do, since he said there was a way, Gilgamesh, Merlin and the others looked at each other and could only choose to trust.
evening.
After dinner at the palace.
Higashino Yuu and Ishtar came to the temple.
Although Gilgamesh did house them.
But Ishtar directly said how gods can live with mortals, so he came directly to the temple, so he also brought Higashino Yu to the temple.
At this moment, the two returned to the place where Ishtar was resting. She looked at the sky but didn't make any noise as usual. She just looked at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.
Since the failure of the mission, when she met Gilgamesh, she became silent, and she didn't even talk about the bickering that she usually likes.
This optimist, who never thinks about things, seems to be thinking about life now.
This may also be a good thing, after all, many things that happened in the original myth may not happen now.
So Higashino Yu didn't bother her, just watched the outside with her.
By this time the sun had completely set.
But there's still a little fringe of engagement flickering. A piece of red that reflects the clouds.
And on the other side the moon was rising, and even the stars were beginning to appear.
If a day is divided into day and night.
Then this is the overlapping time of day and night.
The sun and its afterglow are flickering, and night is coming.
At this time, whether it is day or night, you can get a good bonus.
And it was this opportunity that Higashino Yu wanted to wait for.
Both Gilgamesh and Merlin felt that after Ishtar's failure, they would no longer have the chance to attack Ereshkigal.
But Higashino Yuu didn't think so.
And the reason is because Higashino Yu saw from the very beginning that Ishtar and Ereshkigal are actually a pair of twin sisters.
Although the two have different powers due to the problem of godhood, they are completely the same apart from that.
That is to say, when night comes and Ai (dbba) Reshkigal's protection reaches its peak, she can replace Ishtar's consciousness and come directly to Yu Higashino.
During this time, Ishtar would only think that he was asleep.
And once the other party did this, Higashino Yu had the opportunity to communicate with the other party, and there was still no chance for Ishtar to make trouble.
Higashino Yu can confidently say that as long as the other party comes, he can persuade the other party.
As for whether Ereshkigal will come tonight, there is no doubt about it.
No matter how fierce the two were arguing, but today she saw her younger sister bring a man to her.
At that time, whether it is out of sisterhood or other things, she will come over to find out.
What's more, Higashino Yu also gave her flowers that can be preserved in hell, which will attract her curiosity even more.
Sure enough, it was exactly as Higashino Yu guessed.
Ereshkigal, who returned to Hades after having a big fight with Ishtar during the day, became more and more angry when he thought about it.
At the same time, I became more and more curious.
"That guy just said... her lover?"
Only now did she recall what the other party had said.
That guy actually found a lover, no wonder it's not the god of plants.
"Wait, why does that guy have a lover, has a bad temper, and often quarrels, why does that guy still have a crush on him!"
"Huh? This is... a flower? Are there any flowers that can survive in the underworld? And this bag, could it be the legendary flower seeds?"
Ereshkigal looked at the flowers and flower seeds placed in front of the hall of the underworld, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Then I poked my nose, sniffed lightly, and the refreshing fragrance immediately lingered at the tip of my nose.
"It's actually a flower!"
Looking at this small bouquet, Ereshkigal had mixed feelings.
You must know that the underworld has no color before this.
It was pitch black everywhere.
"But if it is here, will it be destroyed by the ghost?"
At this time, she looks at the flowers like a little girl who is entangled. On the one hand, she wants to take the flowers home, but on the other hand, she is also worried that if she accidentally touches them, the flowers will wither.
But in the end, the girl's mind prevailed.
She carefully touched the flower with her slender fingers. Then he retracted as quickly as if he had been stung by a bee.
Then, the flowers that should have been destroyed just shook slightly, and then remained on the branches as before.
"It's really all right!"
"I remember that man put this flower here? Then how did he do it? He actually made flowers appear in the underworld.
"The opponent is so powerful, that idiot Ishtar won't be deceived by him!"
