Baron Ulukakina Hewuso, an accountant in the town of Lagash, the eastern capital of Uruk, and his friend, Viscount Amuerlu, the secretary of the Lord of Lagash, came to the capital of the empire, Uruk. This was the collective name of a large city group. Its center was the three main cities of Ur, Larsa, and Uruk near the bay. The grand and towering city walls, the wide and clean city roads, and the magnificent garden construction surprised the two young people who had come to the capital.
Under the festive atmosphere of the New Year Festival, all the streets in the capital were renovated and decorated with new exquisite flowers, sculptures, and paintings. Every corner was decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons. People's faces were also filled with joyous expressions. The children on the streets were playing and playing, and the market was crowded with housewives and chefs who were purchasing all kinds of goods.
The two of them, especially Ulukakina, who was a promising young man from the countryside who had come to the capital to work, were deeply shocked by the bustling, grand, and festive atmosphere. He had recently passed the examination for the position of quasi-priest, which meant that he would soon be promoted to the position of a ninth-grade priest in one or two years. Due to the bumper harvests this year, the Salaf Council of Elders decided to invite all low-ranking officials from all over the world to the capital to participate in the celebration and ceremony. At night, the two of them were immersed in this pleasant feeling. Soon, they arrived at the bottom of the Temple of Anu in the city center.
Ulukaki was impressed by the glass-like staircase garden." Amur Lu, you really didn't lie to me. This is indeed worthy of the title of the Empire's highest temple.』
Amur Lu said," This is the residence of the High Priests of Salaf. They have adopted a three-dimensional garden-building method. The garden is placed on a four-story platform, built with asphalt and bricks. The bricks on the top are combined with gray glue. The platform is supported by two pillars and there is an irrigation system. All kinds of flowers and trees are planted in the garden. From afar, it looks like the garden is suspended in the air.』
Urukachina said,"This city is too luxurious. I first heard about the magnificence of the capital, but I didn't expect it to be this level." It even far surpassed the construction of the auxiliary capital, Lagash, not far from here. It was as if the gold and silver treasures collected from all over the world were used to build and maintain such a flashy appearance.』
Amur Lu advised him,"You must restrain your words when it comes to the banquet." If those higher-ups hear this, it will deeply affect your career. We're here for fun this time. Don't be distracted by your cynical nature again.』
Ulukaki waved his hand. The two of them passed the gatekeeper's verification and stepped onto a tiled platform. It was operated by the levitating force of the carrier officer and carried the guests up, shuttling through these gorgeous plants and rainforests. Soon, they arrived at the upper level of the sky garden. The moment they stepped on this level, they were stunned by the dazzling scene they had never seen before. Many celebrities, nobles, and high-ranking officials who had only heard of but rarely saw them, as well as the ladies who wore the most elegant, gorgeous, and even excessively enchanting clothes and makeup, were all present. They were chatting freely and climbing up the social ladder at this cocktail party.
Amur Lu patted Urukagina's shoulder and said,"" This is a good opportunity for us to climb up the social ladder: Look, that's the chief envoy from Kish and his wife. We can go and get to know them." Hey, wait a minute. Look over there. It should be the Governor of Camet, Horus. Look at his exquisite gold-inlaid coat. He's dressed up like a pearl. Can you believe that I'm half a level higher than him?" But he has more resources than me! I daresay he was walking with Poseidon, the Deputy Priest of Helen, and his heavily made-up niece; Heavens! Standing over there are the nobles of Ur's sub-ranks, which are the middle ranks. This is the first time I've seen so many sub-ranks of priests. These people who can change the weather, geographical features, and create new species at will are ability users, mighty virtue users, and great commanders. They are the sixth, fifth, and fourth ranks of priests respectively..."
'Do you know who those people over there are dressed in fancy but strange clothes are?' asked Urukachina.』
Amur Lu said," Oh, those are also noble lords. They are the Governor of the East, Napilisha, and his deputy, Lady Kirisha. They are said to be the guardians of the distant frontier and have the same rank as the Chief Commander. Let's go over and get to know them.』
The two of them walked over to greet him. Amur Lu said,"" Hello, I've heard a lot about the Governor of Elam. Let me introduce you. This is Viscount Heuso. We are the prospective priests and prospective chief commanders from the capital of Lagash. We are the subordinates of the Lagash Consul, Lugar Anda…"
