"My most powerful Highness, your Miawa, do your will!…"
The sky is as clear as water and the seaside is as blue as a mirror. The clear sunlight fell, reflecting the bright and moving face of the Snake Priestess, and also shining the silver edge of the white sacrificial robe. She straightened up slightly, her face revealed the sanctity of a saint, and her lower abdomen outlined an arc that symbolized life. Then, she smiled lightly, showing an expression of reverence like a girl, keeping her back straight, slowly kneeling on the ground, stretching out her hands, as if serving the gods. Then, she hugged Shulot's hand, lowered her head, and rubbed it with her smooth cheek, like a docile cat.
"Dear Master!...I am your most loyal servant of God!..."
"Well!…"
Shulot squatted on the ground and raised his head. Seeing such a holy and reverent Miawa, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He felt the smoothness of his palms, and an inexplicable burning desire arose in his heart. At this moment, he wanted to be a good god and enjoy the holy service in a relaxed manner, but he also wanted to transform into an evil god and severely defile and ravage the holiness... After a while, he took a deep breath, took out his palm, He gave Miava a hard look.
"Miawa! Stand up, don't kneel on the ground! Remember what I said, go back and think about it, and give me a good rest! Remember! From now on, in broad daylight... you are not allowed to do this!... You are not allowed to call me master!... "
"Well!...Master, I listen to you!..."
Hearing this, Miawa blinked his eyes slyly and said with a smile.
"Then I'll take a warm bath and wait for you in the evening...Master! It's been several days since I've felt your power... No matter where you use it, you can use it!..."
"Well…"
Shulot hesitated for a moment and glanced at Chihuaco next to him. The old militiaman had already taken a few steps away and squatted in the corner of the cassava field, jabbing his fingers hard into the mud again and again. He seems to be very focused and serious, and he doesn't know what he thinks of the mud.
The exploration fleet led by Chihuaco only sailed south from the mouth of the Heron River in the north in early August. Then, they were forced to stay in Otter City for more than ten days. It was not until they were summoned by the Red Crow Chief that they successfully left the territory of the Red Crow Tribe and went to the southern Huastec. In early September, after going through many difficulties and dangers, they finally arrived at the starting point two years ago, the Crow City of the Silver Crow Tribe!
At this time, the four longships and more than two hundred warriors and sailors who returned from Cuba were able to return to the starting point alive. Except for the three wounded who stayed in the Red Crow tribe, only one damaged longship remained. , eighteen people!
Eighteen people, two of whom are children of the Mayapan royal family, and the real crew is only sixteen! This journey of six thousand miles is full of waves, difficulties and obstacles. When the old militiaman Chihuaco fell asleep, he would be so frightened that he would wake up when he thought of the storm and fighting on the way back!
"Hey! God bless you! This damn blind majesty! Poke him, poke him hard in the face!..."
The Silver Crow Tribe was a reliable ally of the kingdom, so everyone stayed in Crow City. There, while repairing the longship, they asked Chief Silver Crow to send an envoy to establish contact with the north of Totonac controlled by the Kingdom's legion as soon as possible.
In mid-September, Mo Liu, the chief priest of the kingdom who was in charge of Snake Killing City, received news from the Silver Crow Tribe. Knowing that His Highness attached great importance to the exploration fleet, he immediately sent a team of two hundred warriors, rowing ten catamaran battle boats newly built by the Eastern Shipbuilding Company, to the Silver Crow Tribe to meet the fleet.
At the end of September, the warriors of the Kingdom rowed a catamaran war boat and successfully received the only remaining Kingdom longship from the Silver Crow Tribe, as well as eighteen exhausted exploration crew members. Then, escorted by the warrior fleet, the longship staggered towards the land of Totonak controlled by the kingdom.
It was not until early October that the longship successfully arrived in the Jinwan City area. The first thing Chihuaco did after landing was to plant all the remaining cassava, and then take care of it carefully to try to keep the remaining stems alive.
At this time, it happens to be the autumn harvest season on the seaside. Shulot has already left Golden Bay City with two thousand guards to inspect the villages and flag troops of various tribes in West Totonak. Although he was extremely excited when he received the news of the fleet's return, he couldn't get out of it for a while.
In mid-October, he led his guards on a tour to the Cone House City in East Totonac, where he held a grand autumn harvest ceremony to appease the surrounding tribes. Then, he met with the Black Wolf Toltec stationed here and arranged for the Black Wolf Legion to march east again after the autumn harvest!
It wasn't until early November that, under Shulot's own eyes, the Black Wolf Legion officially set off to conquer the Totonak city-state on the eastern coast! The 5,000 Totonak Pioneer Battalion was the first to go out, occupy the burned-out Coyote City, and set up the first field camp. Shulot then bid farewell to Black Wolf and returned to Golden Bay City after a long absence, meeting the returning longship people for the first time.
"Blessed by the Lord God! You are blessed by the Lord God for your ability to go through countless hardships and finally return from the East China Sea! You are all the real warriors of the Kingdom and the real heroes of the world! ... All returning warriors of the Kingdom will be canonized as military nobles of the Kingdom! All returning sailors have been promoted to fourth-level senior warriors! And all crew members participating in this voyage will receive a pure gold 'divine exploration' amulet! With this amulet, you can reduce your family's taxes and meet with various counties. The county magistrate and the chief priest complain about illegal things!..."
Shulot was so excited that he made eight military nobles, six fourth-level warriors, and gave them sixteen special amulets, which were medals symbolizing merit and privileges. In the end, there were still two fleet leaders, Chihuaco and Mecat, and two Mayapan royal families, Tilan and Tidan.
Mekart was already a second-level divine priest, Knowledger, and with his merits after returning from exploration, he was immediately promoted to a third-level divine priest, Wood-Driller, which was equivalent to the chief priest of the party. As for the old militiaman Chihuaco, he still refused the reward from His Highness and just wanted to return to his hometown in the Lake Kingdom. After much thought, Shulot decided to give him a promise he had never had before to inspire future explorers of the kingdom!
"Witness the Lord God! Chihuaco, as the exploration captain of the fleet, I will give you a special reward! You and your descendants can make a reasonable request to me...I will try my best to satisfy it!...Even if, This requirement is to become a hereditary noble of the kingdom!”
Hearing such a special promise, the old militiaman Chihuaco opened his mouth wide and stared blankly for a long time. His first reaction at the time was actually to say: Please, your blind majesty, don’t send him to sea again in the future! But then he thought about his son who stayed in the Red Crow Tribe. After being silent for a while, he accepted this promise that made everyone jealous!
"Exploration of the East China Sea! Cuba's Snake Island, the Land of the Mayans, and the Red Crow Coast in the North..."
Thinking of this crucial fleet exploration that lasted two years, Shulot's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation. He is eager to know the news from far away, and even more eager to know the details of the exploration. In the past few days, he summoned everyone in the fleet one after another and talked until late every day.
However, the vast story of the East China Sea has just unfolded in front of him! In the past two years, the fleet's explorations, encounters, and navigation experiences, as well as everyone's different experiences and feelings, all attracted him and attracted the king who aspires to be the world's king! These distant news are extremely precious in the entire Mexican Union and the entire Central American world, especially at the end of 1490...
But at this time, Miava's wonderful performance and temptation were nothing.
"Ahem! Miava, you go back and take a warm bath. Then...well, have a good rest!"
Shulot reached out his hand and rubbed the woman's head soothingly. Then, he glanced at Chihuaco who was squatting on the edge of the field, and said to the astonished woman with a smile.
"Tonight, I will light a candle and chat with my most outstanding exploration captain until dawn!..."
