"I'm very dissatisfied with your performance today! Very dissatisfied!"
Ella angrily waved the crowbar in the air, scolding the row of local priests who stood before her. None of the priests dared to raise their heads. They only occasionally raised their eyes and secretly glanced at the crowbar in Ella's hand.
"Feathered Serpent appeared last night", this explosive news has spread in the local area. Both Tesosomok and Osomalet vouched for the authenticity of this information, and the information revealed from the mouths of the captured rebels was surprisingly consistent. Under this situation, no one dared to question the authenticity of the identity of Ella. Even the highest priest in the area is now lowering his head and being disciplined.
"I want you to take the heart of an animal instead of a human heart as a sacrifice. I don't want you to perform animal cruelty on the altar! The one caught on the altar today looks a bit like a cat... What kind of animal is that?"
"Leopard." A priest whispered from below.
"Yes! Leopard! Is what you are doing today a human matter? You are cutting its flesh with a knife on the left and right. Are you performing a lingchi execution? Its screams make my skin crawl!"
"We want to dig out its heart quickly." A priest replied from below, "But we are not skilled and can't find where its heart is..."
"You will often offer sacrifices to Quetzalcoatl in the future! You must become proficient!" Ella scolded, "Go and catch a thousand leopards from the forest, and train well!"
The chief priest glanced left and right, and after confirming that no soldiers responded to Ella's words, he asked cautiously: "Should... let our priests catch it themselves?"
"Don't worry, Quetzalcoatl will protect you!" Ella raised her eyebrows and waved her hand, "Bring the things up!"
Two pirates came up from behind, one holding a set of chain armor in his hand, and the other holding an iron sword.
"This is chain armor...ah, snake god armor! This is an iron sword...ah, broken steel sword!"
Ella grabbed the iron sword and danced it exaggeratedly in the air.
"They are all peerless treasures. They are priceless. You can't buy them even if you have money! But there is a big sale now! You only need to exchange them for the same weight of gold! No need to squeeze or grab, I have a lot here, wear it , you are the warriors blessed by Quetzalcoatl! Not to mention leopards, mosquitoes can’t bite you!"
"How?" She stared at the chief priest.
"Is this the one who shattered the stone sword last night...?" The chief priest gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "Buy! Each of us priests will get a set!"
"Good! As expected of the chief priest! He has great vision!"
Ella trades the iron sword to the pirate. Then, she glanced sharply at the priest standing in front of her.
"There's another thing that I'm not very happy about - why are you all wearing such dark-colored robes? It's so dark, it feels like you're going to mourn Quetzalcoatl!"
"Our job is to perform human sacrifices." A priest replied below, "It is related to death, so we wear black."
"But my clothes are dark green." The chief priest also replied, "Because I am the only one closest to the gods."
"What are you talking about! The so-called rituals and festivals are supposed to be joyful. What's the point of crying and mourning! Change them all from black to white!"
"White?" The priests below were in an uproar. "White is only worn by the poorest commoners and slaves..."
"Don't worry, I have prepared different treasures for you!" Ella raised her eyebrows and waved her hand again, "Bring the things up!"
The two pirates who had just come up came up again, but this time what they were holding turned into a set of white robes.
"Take it over and take a look! This is a toga! It is made of wool. It is comfortable and elegant. It can be used for formal occasions or daily use. Everyone who has worn it says it is good! It has not been sold in the Alemanni Federation before. I see You are destined to have a relationship with Quetzalcoatl, so you have a clearance sale at a low price..."
"This material!" the chief priest touched his robe and sighed, "It's not agave, nor cotton. This soft and waxy feeling like animal fur, could it be called animal fur? But what kind of animal is this? So clean, with hair like snow?”
"Discerning! This thing is made of wool! It is a very ferocious beast! I have to exert all my strength to knock one down, and if I am not careful, they will break free! What's even more disgusting is that they often come in groups, making people It’s hard to deal with!”
"Even the Divine Envoy has to use all his strength? My God, that must be a divine beast in the sky!"
The chief priest held Toga's hand and was shaking with excitement. The priests on the side also came over and rushed to touch the fabric with their hands.
"I...can we really wear such expensive things?"
"Wear it! You are the first batch of priests, Quetzalcoatl has authorized it! There are only a few hundred pieces left on the ship, all of them are for you! How about the price is...just the leopard skin?"
"Thank you for the grace of Quetzalcoatl! I didn't expect that you can exchange the furs of mortal objects for divine objects!" The chief priest was so excited that he almost knelt down to Ella, "There are still hundreds of pieces, right? Although the priests on the island There are only about ten in total, but at this price! We want them all!”
"Smart people! Since you are so discerning, then go ahead and change all the jewelry on your body!"
The group of priests looked at each other: "Jewelry?"
Ella pointed at one of them: "You——! What are these long and thin strings you are wearing on your neck now?"
"Bone. Finger bones strung together..."
Ella pointed at another person: "You——! What are these square strings you are wearing on your neck now?"
"Teeth. Teeth strung together..."
"You still have your teeth! Are you children who just lost your teeth? And what do you think of the one with the bones! Are you primitive people? Huh?"
"But this symbolizes our duty..."
"What kind of responsibility! Only wild dogs can hold their teeth and bones in their mouths! Are you wild dogs?"
"What is a wild dog?"
The group of priests were stunned for a moment after being scolded. Ella didn't say much and waved her hand back for the third time:
"It doesn't matter if you don't know! I have prepared accessories for you that match your status! Bring the things up!"
The two pirates walked up again. This time, they were holding two exquisite small boxes filled with various colored glass beads.
"This, this, this, this... what kind of gem is this?"
"I don't understand how particular you are about colors. Anyway, you can choose whatever color you like!" Ella said proudly, "There are many more on the boat. You can have as many as you want! You can take whatever you want! I won't cheat you, just two beads. Is it a fair price to exchange for a gemstone of the same size?"
"Master God Envoy, you are giving this away for nothing. If you continue to take it, we will probably be punished by God!" The chief priest shook his head in panic, "This is absolutely not possible! At least let us use two gems in exchange for it!"
"make a deal!"
Ella happily patted the chief priest on the shoulder, then leaned close to his ear and asked in the most serious tone today:
"When are you going to pay?"
