Walking on the street, locals looked at Ella one after another.
"I suggest that the King of Sweden mobilize some guards." Dast whispered, "I think the eyes of these people are a little unfriendly. With just a few of us, there may be some accidents."
Amy thought what Dust said made sense. Although she felt that passers-by looked at her in awe, but since one rebel was not arrested, there might be a second or third one, so it was always right to be careful.
She mobilized about fifty guards, and then she set off again with Dast leading her. Turning left and right, they came to a low bungalow. Dust signaled the guards to quietly go around to the back of the house, while he walked up and knocked on the door mysteriously a few times.
"The rats are all over Aztlan!" he said in a low voice.
The door opened suddenly. Seeing that it was Ella standing outside, the man in the house was stunned, then turned around and ran away!
"Basically, people with evil intentions are like this." Dast shrugged, "They don't want to listen to people talk properly."
There was a scuffle from behind the house, and soon after, Ella's guards escorted the man who had jumped out of the window to escape.
"Don't be afraid." Amy tried to calm the man's emotions, "We just want to ask something..."
"You can't ask me anything!" the man said with his head held high, "I have already bitten up the poison in my mouth and swallowed it. Even if you prepare the torture tools now, it is already too late!"
Ella was startled. Previously, Tesosomok's men ate the flesh of an assassin who came to kill him, and were soon poisoned and died. The poison was very strong. If this man had taken the same kind, he would probably be dead soon.
"What on earth are you thinking!" Amy stamped her foot angrily, "Are all your brains broken?"
But Dast didn't panic at all, and said with a smile: "Poison in your mouth? It's easy to take it by mistake. So you should always have the antidote on you, right?"
From the change in the man's expression, people realized that Dast was right.
"Tell me, where is the antidote?" Amy asked from the side.
"You can't find it anyway." The man smiled sadly, "You can't threaten me. If I swallow this medicine, do you think I still want to live?"
Time did not allow for too much explanation with the man. Ella gritted her teeth, walked up and slapped the man several times:
"Listen carefully, if you dare to die in front of me, I will scrape off all the flesh from your companions! Tell me, where is the antidote?"
"Rebellion against Aztlan, each of us has already reached death consciousness." The man replied, "You can't ask anything from my mouth today!"
"That's true of those assassins. But you are just civilians who were incited, right?" Ella began to lie, "Those people in prison were crying and wanted me to let them go. You just gave them away like this?"
Seeing a trace of hesitation in the man's eyes, Ella raised a finger: "One person. Your information can save one person. You choose."
"Alone." The man shouted with some collapse, "There are so many companions, how do you want me to choose?"
"If the information is valuable, then maybe two of them can be saved." Ella added, "You can think about who to save. Now, tell us where the antidote is!"
"Your Majesty just wants to ask for a prescription, not to ask you to betray your companions." Amy took advantage of the situation and added, "Some of us were injured by the magic circle and need treatment."
The man finally lowered his head feebly: "On my sleeve... there is a piece of white cloth soaked with medicinal herbs. Just put it in my mouth."
Pirate Ruyan found a distinctive piece of white cloth from his sleeve. Seeing the white cloth being stuffed into the man's mouth, Ella finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The man took the antidote and signaled that he was going into the room to get something. After Ella agreed, he dug out a bag of medicine residue from the house and handed it to the pirate to Ella.
"This is the medicine Citralmina gave me that day." The man said, "It's all here."
Ella looked through the medicine residue. The medicinal dregs were pounded into a paste, and with her knowledge of herbal medicine, she couldn't tell what was inside. So she put the medicine bag aside and asked directly: "What medicine was used in it?"
"I remember using alpine edelweiss, aloe vera, datura..."
"Wait a minute," Ella interrupted, "What is datura? I've never heard of this herb."
"A flower with a hint of poison."
"Are they sold in Aztlan?"
"Alpine edelweiss and aloe vera need to be picked fresh in the wild, but datura is sold everywhere."
Amy asked curiously on the side: "Why do edelweiss and aloe vera have to be picked fresh, but poisonous datura is sold instead?"
"Because priests and witch doctors often use this. It can cure diseases and help priests meditate."
Ella nodded. She left the preparation of the medicine to Dast, and she went to Tesosomoc to discuss the release of one or two prisoners.
Tesosomok is in a clearing. There are two poles standing on both sides of the open space, and two rings are hung on the poles. Several prisoners of war were running across a clearing chasing a round ball between two poles, while Aztlan soldiers watched them.
"Put two prisoners of war? Of course there is no problem. Having said that, Lord God, come and see these people." Tesozomoc pointed to the open space, "This is one of our traditional sports in Aztlan, kick ball. I A kickball competition is scheduled to be held at the ceremony. What do you think?"
Ella watched for a while, unable to understand what they were doing.
"Are you going to kick the ball into the hoops on both sides? Why is no one lifting their feet?"
"Kicking into the hoop is a way to win the game immediately, but it is very difficult. If you fail, you will be scored by the opponent, so unless you are behind by a big score, you generally won't try it." Tesosomok replied, "Keep the ball. If the ball touches the ground twice in a row before Fang carries the ball back under the hoop, the opponent scores. This is the main way to score."
As soon as he finished speaking, the prisoner in charge of the ball fell down due to interference from the enemy. Players on both sides rushed to fight for it desperately. One of them ignored the rough ground and made a sliding tackle under the ball's impact point, which finally prevented the ball from touching the ground.
The fierce competition on the court reminded Ella of the uncooperation of prisoners in prison, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Are these prisoners of war really playing so hard?"
Tesosomok laughed: "Logically speaking, the team that loses the game will be sacrificed in the ceremony, so they don't dare not train hard."
Ella was surprised: "Will he be sacrificed?"
"In the new ceremony, no. But before the results come out, I don't plan to let anyone know." Tesosomok's eyes sharpened, "I will let all Tratoani send representatives to participate in the war, and send Our prisoners of war were paired with representatives of Nezahualcoyotel. Logically speaking, everyone would send insignificant slaves. But if Nezahualcoyotel wanted to save these people, he would send out experienced players. Based on his reaction, I will decide whether to take him down on the spot.”
Ella took a breath. She didn't know Tesosomok was making such a big calculation: "Then what can I do?"
"Give awards to the winning team and announce that the losers will be exempted from the fate of being sacrificed." Tesosomoc replied, "The Aztlan Tratoani may not like it, but those who were conquered by us The region will definitely support our actions.”
