The spring breeze blows the curtains, and the fragrance of the big tent still lingers. The snake priestess Miava came quietly and left quietly, leaving only a testimony of surrender on the leather rug in the tent.
Shulot stood silently, staring at the wet marks on the leather rug, his chest seemed to be burning with fire. His whole body was unbearably hot, but his eyes were clear and bright.
"The head of the family, the snake priestesses of Totonak have always been famous for their joy and cunning. Miawa has an unknown origin and ulterior motives... If you really want to be included in the account, you have to let the priestesses of the temple use holy water to Train them well! And for the sake of the pure blood of the family, it is best to keep them under supervision for four months. If you are not pregnant, you can only touch..."
The captain of the guard, Eckart, lowered his head and cautiously stepped forward to admonish. He has always been wary of the snake priestess who came tonight, his hand always pressed on the copper ax on his waist, never leaving it for a moment. In his heart, no matter what kind of surrender the other party shows, only after being brainwashed by the holy water can people truly be reassured!
"Yes, I know. The fragrance on Miava's body has an aphrodisiac effect. Her posture of surrender and abandonment is nothing but half-truth and half-falseness."
"The superficial admiration and submission, charm and temptation of the snake priestesses are just a means of manipulating people's hearts. They are good at stimulating men's possessiveness and lust, thereby looking for opportunities... However, under the current situation, The surrender of the Jinwan tribes should be true. I can still afford to wait for three days!"
Shulot's expression remained unchanged and he spoke calmly, extremely calm. Hearing this answer, the captain of the guard Ekart showed admiration. He took a step back, stood respectfully, and said no more.
The bonfire in the big tent shone brightly, making ripples of flames. The young king stood there, took a deep breath, and once again controlled his body's instinctive desires. Then, he stared at the bonfire dancing in front of him and chanted in a low voice.
"Witness the gods! All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such..."
"Everything in the world is a superposition of quantum fields. The desires of mortals are just discrete electric field fluctuations. As a king, I must be able to control desires. The mistake of being assassinated must not be made twice... .”
Shulot returned to his head and sat cross-legged. However, the changes in his body made his sitting position somewhat uncomfortable. He simply lay down in the tent, closed his eyes and thought.
"Next, the disposal of Jinwan City... Politically, it should be brought under direct control as much as possible, culturally, Mexican customs and festivals should be introduced, religiously, the belief of the Lord God should be spread, and economically, the east-west trade routes should be rebuilt. As for The most critical military aspect is to enfeoff and grant land, and to promote a group of kingdom and local warrior nobles as the foundation of rule..."
Looking at His Highness lying down, the captain of the guard lowered his head and thought for a while. After a while, he quietly came outside the tent and gave a few instructions. Soon, a wild and pretty girl, with bare feet and a silver footbell tied on her feet, walked lightly into the tent and came to Shulot's side.
"Jingle Bell..."
"Um?"
Hearing the bell, Shulot raised his head with surprise on his face. Although he hadn't seen her for four years, he recognized the girl in front of him with just one glance.
The girl has an elegant appearance, wearing an obsidian necklace and a bright short robe. She has delicate eyebrows, a straight nose, a tall figure, and moves as quickly as a leopard. Compared with four years ago, the difference is that her face has a bookish air and her figure is fully grown. At this moment, the girl looked at His Highness, her lips pursed stubbornly, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy, and hidden admiration that she could hardly detect.
"Chief Colima, daughter of Yinmar, warrior Yinlian?"
"Your Majesty, I am the warrior Yin Lian. But I am also the guard of your tent and the writing clerk."
Clerk Yin Lian held her head high and corrected stubbornly. Seeing this familiar scene, Shulot raised the corners of his mouth and nodded with a smile.
"Okay! My clerk Yin Lian. What have you learned in the past few years at the Divine Power University in the royal capital?"
"Your Majesty, I have learned the traditional texts and poems, and the sacred scriptures. I have learned important astronomy and geography, the governance and war of the kingdom... and you have written the sacred text that you personally wrote and left at Kamui University. Reveal the secret!..."
clerical officer
Yin Lian smiled lightly, looked into Shulot's eyes, and answered calmly and confidently. Hearing this, Shulot raised his brows and nodded. Then, with a half-smile, he pulled out a thick manual from the cushion under him.
"Very good! Clerk Yin Lian, you are very good! However, although you are here to record the papers, learning should not stop... Well, this is a new mathematics manual I compiled. It is very interesting. . Take it and you can do a few questions when you have free time every day..."
"Uh...number...math manual?!..."
Hearing this, clerk Yin Lian's confident expression collapsed in an instant. She jumped back quickly, transformed into a wild Tekos girl again, and shook her head vigorously in rejection.
"God bless you, take it! As a clerk, you must be able to do math. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."
Under Xiulote's smiling eyes, Yin Lian looked bitter as she took the "Village Priest Mathematics Manual". She turned over just a little bit before feeling dizzy and confused. After a while, she raised her head again, looked at Ai Ai, and spoke in a low voice.
"Hey!... Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Are you tired? Let me give you a massage on your head... By the way! What song do you like to listen to? I'll sing it to you... "
"Hmm... The night is dark tonight. It looks beautiful, but it hides death and murderous intent... Then let's sing "The Song of the Night"! ..."
"Huh?...Your Highness, now, sing this song?..."
"What? This is one of the songs that the alliance priests pray at night. Don't you know how to sing it?"
"Yes, yes."
Clerk Yin Lian paused and nodded vigorously. Then she cleared her throat and sang softly, her expression distant and lonely.
"...The moonlight of the Lord God shines down. The lonely soul of the feathered serpent floats on the sea surface, and the ghosts of those killed in battle wander on the river bank...
Under the eternal starlight, they sneaked silently in the shadows by the river, longing for the guidance of the gods...
When the first ray of morning light falls, the Tengu escorts the sun, while the cold fingertips of the dead stand...
You can hear their indulgent singing! That was the fierce fighting cry of the warriors before they died! ...
For the sake of gods and glory, for wealth and destiny...the sacred battle will begin soon...
The white clams on the seashore turned into the light of fish maws on the horizon. And the red death arrived brightly under the gaze of the Lord God! ..."
Shulot closed his eyes and rested his head on the girl's legs, listening to the clear and beautiful singing and feeling the comfortable massage. He smelled the girl's fresh and elegant fragrance, like smelling the wild flowers in the Tekos Mountains, and slowly relaxed. The flames in his body gradually became smaller and burned quietly, and finally only the peace in his heart was left, reflecting the starlight on the ceiling of the big tent.
"Well...what an unforgettable night! The death and light of Golden Bay City will be here soon..."
The king murmured and fell asleep relaxedly in the girl's arms. He forgot all his desires and all his fatigue, as if he was flying on the sea of stars and moons. The girl stared at the king in her arms, singing softly in her mouth, her eyes flickering like a star.
