The tent is simple and spacious, surrounded by bright feathers. Everyone sat on the floor, drinking the extremely expensive vanilla drinks from the Old World, and remained silent for a while.
The young man Dark Snake sat in the corner, holding a cup of vanilla cocoa in his hand and sipping it in small sips. Now here, of course, he has no business to speak, so he can only wait patiently. He stared blankly at the blue paper painting of the main god on the ground. The supreme god stood on the Snake Mountain, surrounded by gods who died in battle or surrendered. And a huge feathered serpent was lying at the feet of the Lord God, skinned and cramped by the obsidian dagger...
Seeing this, the young man An She shivered and lowered his eyes, not daring to look any further. Over the years, the faith of the Aztecs has been rapidly expanding across the world, following the footsteps of the Mexica warriors! All city-states that were captured would hold a grand conversion ceremony, drink all the blood and wine, cut off their hair, and offer their souls to the God of War. And if you are unwilling to swear a blood oath and change your faith, you will be sacrificed and executed without mercy...
"The cruel Aztecs... not only wanted to conquer the body, but also the soul, and completely change the world! And all the warriors who dared to resist were ruthlessly destroyed... Woo! This terrifying tide, this world... The color of blood, when will it be full!..."
Dark Snake, a young man who is descended from the Cloud Snake Goddess, looked sad and bowed his head in silence. Opposite him, Silver Crow Chief Papata touched his chin and was also thinking.
As distant vassals of the Mexica Confederation, the Huastecs were able to maintain general autonomy in addition to paying tribute on time. In the past two years, the Silver Crow tribe has been actively moving closer to the alliance, erecting the emblem of the Mexica War God in the temple, and also enshrining the God of War, Quetzalcoatl and the Rain God. Although the priests and nobles in the tribe were dissatisfied, they could only compromise and accept the Mexica's sweeping trend.
"It's just that you want to only respect the God of War as the main god and completely give up Quetzalcoatl? This kind of complete conversion consumes prestige and causes dissatisfaction. If you want to make up for it..."
Silver Crow Papata lowered his eyes for a long time, then raised his head and made a condition with a smile.
"Dear God of War Priest, the Silver Crow tribe has always obeyed the Alliance and is pious to the God of War, but they are the best among the Huastec tribes! However, some small tribes in the north are still stubborn and refuse the alliance's divine inspiration. This is an offense to the gods and must be punished. !..."
"As a loyal vassal of the Alliance, the Silver Crow Tribe is willing to serve the Alliance and lead the Huastec Tribe in the north to promote the faith of the God of War in this coastal land!"
"Um..."
Hearing this, the preaching priest Thomas raised his brows and was silent.
Chief Silver Crow is negotiating terms, using a complete conversion to gain the alliance's commitment, promising them to expand to the north and bring more small Huastec tribes under their banner. As the second-level preaching priest of the kingdom, Thomas had no right to agree to such conditions.
Thinking of this, Priest Tomat narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at Chief Silver Crow. He was a little unsure whether the other party was really negotiating terms or was stalling. After a few breaths, Priest Tomat answered with a smile, hiding his edge.
"The glory of the Lord God will surely shine on the world! This is like the Cat Eagle River, which comes in waves and will flow into the East Sea! Dear Chief Papata, if you go down the river, you will travel hundreds of miles a day, but if you go against the current If you go up, it will be difficult to move even an inch!..."
"I will send a priest to convey your request to the Supreme King Avit, and will also let His Highness the Divine Enlightenment Shulot know. Besides, do you have any other requests?"
Hearing this, Papata pondered for a moment, with a respectful smile on his face.
"Haha! Silver Crow Papata kowtows to the king and is grateful for the intermarriage of the Mexica royal family! I have sent warriors to take my three adult daughters to the great lake capital. They can all sing and dance, and their waists The limbs are as graceful as a snake, the steps are as strong as a deer, and the belly is as fertile as a hare..."
"Huh? Three daughters? You mean..."
Hearing this, Priest Thomas was a little surprised. According to Huastec tradition, the age of adulthood is fifteen. After reaching adulthood, they can officially get married. And Papata sent her three young daughters to the capital city in the lake to go one step further and marry more royal families.
"Exactly! The youngest daughter, Li Lin, is just fifteen, and she happens to be engaged to His Highness Little Quatlawak. The eldest daughter, Li Yu, is nineteen, and the second daughter, Li Yao, is seventeen. The two sisters are as beautiful as flowers, and they are paired like white jade. They can dance and sing for the divinely inspired His Highness Shulot, serve closely, and relieve the fatigue of hard work..."
Silver crow Papata smiled and groaned. These three daughters were all born to the same mother. They are beautiful in appearance and have their own strengths, whether they are delicate, elegant, or pure... He has been carefully cultivating them in preparation for marriage with a powerful tribe.
King Avit was in his prime, and he had not yet made up his mind whether to place a bet so early. But when he saw the large ship of the kingdom in the lake, he knew that the expedition fleet actually traveled across the entire world, coming from the West Sea, traveling two thousand miles to Crow City, and then going to the East China Sea! ...
"If the kingdom's fleet can get here, it can also transport warriors... But if thousands of kingdom warriors come down by boat from upstream, the five hundred miles of mountains and jungles that separate them will have no effect at all. ah!..."
After much thought, Papata finally made the decision to send his two daughters first and reserve a place on the big boat of the kingdom in the lake.
"Um..."
Priest Thomas lowered his head and took a sip of cocoa. This proposal was beyond the scope of his power and could only be left to His Highness in Tree Snake City for decision. He pursed his lips, feeling the scent of vanilla between his lips and teeth, and asked with a smile again.
"Dear Chief Papata, your foresight is like a divine crow sitting on a sacred tree, looking into the distance!...Do you have any other suggestions?"
"Haha, blessing from the God of War! Dear Priest of the God of War, I heard that once the longship is repaired, the kingdom's fleet will set off to the East China Sea to find the holy land in the sea?"
"God bless you! It's true."
Priest Thomas nodded. According to his own understanding, he described the arduous task of this trip with a serious expression and cold words.
"Your Highness has divine revelation and knows the major events in the East! The fleet is heading east, passing through the land of Maya, looking for the Long Island where Quetzalcoatl is the incarnation of Quetzalcoatl in the East Sea. There, after the death of Quetzalcoatl, the fangs of Quetzalcoatl are turned into hard black iron, and the bones are turned into The continuous brass, and the divine crystal formed from the eyes!..."
"And the instruction given by the Lord God is to set up the emblem of the Lord God at the eyes of the Quetzalcoatl to suppress the soul of the Quetzalcoatl! The alliance will send more warriors and more priests to the Long Island of the Quetzalcoatl to dig out her eyes. , dig out her fangs, excavate her bones, forge them into divine weapons and armor, and completely cut off the Quetzalcoatl’s divinity!”
"Hiss!... Looking for Quetzalcoatl to completely suppress the god's body? Goug out the eyes, pull out the teeth, dig out the bones, and sever the divinity!... The fanatical Mexica people are really fierce and crazy!"
Upon hearing such secrets, Silver Crow Papata took a deep breath, and even her hands trembled. He quickly took a sip of cocoa and prayed a few words secretly. Then, he gritted his teeth and asked worriedly.
"Dear God of War Priest, Quetzalcoatl is one of the four creation gods after all... Even if she really dies, there will be a huge divinity left. Such disposal of Quetzalcoatl's body... Isn't the Alliance afraid that it will cause Disaster?"
"Ha! The main god is supreme and omnipotent! What does the dead Quetzalcoatl mean?"
Priest Thomas raised his head and replied sharply. At this moment, the fervent flame of faith was burning in his eyes, burning out all impurity.
"Your Highness has a divine revelation! Quetzalcoatl is dead, but her soul has extended to the East China Sea and connected with the white-skinned evil demons on the other side of the sea. Once the alliance's suppression begins, it won't take long before there will be white-skinned evil demons. He came across the sea in an attempt to bring disaster and destroy the kingdom of the Lord God!..."
"But in front of the fearless Mexica Legion, even if they have roaring beasts, roaring thunder, and huge snake ships, we will crush them one by one!... Even if they span thousands of miles, the warriors will He will capture all the evil spirits, bring them to the altar, and sacrifice their hearts!"
