Dragon of the Root

Chapter 916: Ishtar Palace

Wu Ming naturally also found a big lucky cat in front of Ishtar Palace, with a hint of magic attached to it, which was cute but not as simple as it seemed.

But that wasn't from Ishtar's memory. After all, there weren't any lucky cats in BC Mesopotamia...

Perhaps the knowledge brought by the girl Ishtar relied on. After all, the girl is a person who lives in the 21st century.

"Merlin hasn't shown up yet?" Wu Ming couldn't help but ask after seeing Merlin for a long time.

"This" Gudako and Mashu looked at each other, both showing expressions that they didn't know what to say.

At this moment, a weak voice came to Wu Ming's ears.

"Damn it, Vero, you actually let me climb the cliff alone"

On a certain cliff, an inhuman white hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the ground ruthlessly.

Immediately after, a stick, like a mountaineering stick, stretched by the man with the other hand, stabbed into the ground, and completed the fixation.

In the end, the white-haired Merlin appeared in front of Wu Ming and the others with an exhausted expression.

"I can't take three people with me, I can only feel sorry for you, and you are also a Servant. Merlin, you can't let Ritsu and the others go up from here."

Wu Ming comforted Merlin with reason and emotion.

"But, Mashu is also a Servant..."

However as soon as Merlin finished saying these words, Wu Ming glared at him.

As if to say "Mashu is a girl, right!".

"Let's go, maybe Ishtar will run away after a long time."

After Wu Ming finished speaking, he ignored Merlin and walked straight to the temple gate with Gudako and Mashu wanting to say something nice to Merlin.

"This is really unfair~" shrugged and complained, and Merlin immediately followed Wu Ming.

It turned out that Merlin was not as weak as he thought, before he jumped and ran in the mountains and quickly found enough Wu Ming to show how good Merlin's physical strength was.

Moreover, part of Artoria's swordsmanship was trained by Merlin, even if such an existence called herself a Magus, who could believe this?

Wu Ming also followed Artoria to learn swordsmanship from Merlin, but since the effects were invisible, it was better to use the spear skills taught by Scthach, so he didn't learn much.

Walking past the lucky cat, Wu Ming initially thought that the lucky cat could move, but he continued to make "lucky" moves and didn't move at all.

This dispelled Wu Ming's thought that these two lucky cats were gatekeepers.

The four of them continued to go deeper, because Ishtar Palace was built on a mountain, so some parts of the interior was full of darkness.

Not only that, the internal structure and appearance looks very different, not a bit flashy.

"Is this really the palace of Goddess Ishtar?"

Gudako asked subconsciously.

This palace looks very pretty from the outside, but the inside is quite disappointing.

"Because Ishtar has no money." Wu Ming simply and rudely told the truth.

"This is simple and easy to understand, Ritsu, you just need to remember that Ishtar is a useless goddess who loves money and gems but has nothing to do with these things."

"Okay...Okay..." Gudako nodded slightly confused.

After walking for a while longer, Mashu saw a flash of light in front of her.

"That a torch?"

It was the light of a burning torch.

The walls on both sides of the street were filled with burning torches, and the passage seemed to have a touch of grandeur.

However, there are only traces of...

"Almost there."

Even though Wu Ming had never been here, he could sense Ishtar's divinity.

Hence, the front was almost their destination, the main hall where Ishtar was.

Sure enough, walking through a corridor studded with flaming torches, the four entered a room similar to a hall.

There was a stone chair like a throne in the center of the hall. Under the stone chair was a trimmed stone. The stones add to the height of the stone chair, which seems to be designed on purpose.

If you want to see the person sitting in the stone chair, you must raise your head and let the person sitting in the stone chair look down.

Must say that this display is the handwriting of the gods to make the visitors worship.

Right above the stone chair, a large hole opened in the middle of the ceiling of the main hall, although it had been artificially repaired, it could still be seen that it was violently smashed.

The sun shone through the palace through this huge hole like a skylight, making a palace that looked so irresistibly luxurious and elegant.

It happens that the stone seat is fully lit by the sun, either in the morning or in the evening, as long as there is sunlight, the stone chair will be illuminated. This design is quite satisfactory.

"Looks like Ishtar's brain isn't as bad as I thought it would be." Wu Ming saw this scene and nodded in praise.

"Of course, who do you think I am?"

A charismatic voice came from the shadows of the palace.

Immediately after, a beautiful goddess slowly walked out of the shadows and entered everyone's eyes.

This person was exactly the Ishtar who ran away after being shouted at by Wu Ming.

"I am Ishtar, Mistress of Heaven. This is my palace. Of course, it has to look beautiful~"

While speaking, Ishtar jumped lightly, jumped straight onto the stone chair, and raised a leg, looking down at Wu Ming and the others below.

"Goddess Ishtar, your posture is really good" The innocent Mashu couldn't help but complain.

This pose is really annoying.

Ishtar always stuck to her usual style, even in her Servant state, the cloth on her clothes was still pathetic.

In front of Wu Ming and the others, Ishtar who was sitting on an elevated throne with her legs raised, was already in a state of exposing her bottom.

However, among the four present, Gudako is a woman, and Merlin is a dream demon who doesn't know human feelings. Neither of them would be moved by Ishtar. Only Mashu reminded Ishtar of being too innocent, for Wu Ming, he was completely shocked.

"Don't mind this guy, she didn't care about how she dressed for a long time."

It was precisely because the previous Ishtar had very little dressing every day, coupled with Ishtar's poor character, made Wu Ming not interested at all when facing Ishtar.

After all, it would be boring to see too much.

The real Ishtar wasn't interested, much less Ishtar was relying on a human girl.

Ishtar in her Servant state was indeed much worse than the original Ishtar in terms of appearance.

More importantly, the human girl Ishtar relied on was someone Wu Ming knew.
