"What?! Try your best to try for me? Try?... Gods! This important matter is related to my life and death, and it is also related to your life and death! How can you just say 'try'?..."
In the underground prison of the water village, Priest Papu opened his eyes wide and scolded the Mayan businessman Tikalo fiercely. He frowned, with a threatening look on his face, and placed his hand on the dagger at his waist again. However, such an angry reaction was a sign of trust in Ti Carlo.
And in the answer just now, if Ti Carlo said that he was "100% sure" and "will definitely be able to convince His Highness"... then he would not believe it at all, and would only think that the other party was lying to him in order to escape. The result that followed was that he took out the obsidian dagger and directly killed this untrustworthy guy and sacrificed it! …
"Ahem! The ancestors witnessed it! The Lord God witnessed it!..."
Seeing the performance of Priest Papu, the Mayan businessman Tikalo's thoughts changed and he felt a little relieved. He looked solemnly, looked into Priest Pap's eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"Dear Priest Pap, do you believe in the light?"
"Huh? What?! Believe in the light?"
"Well... in our Mayan mythology, 'light' is a sacred symbol and the guidance of the gods. It is the direction of destiny and the world in everyone's eyes!... In my opinion, light guides your destiny , coming from the sky in the east, heading to the coast in the west. And His Highness, revered in the west, has long been standing on the towering sacred mountain, waiting for you for a long time!..."
"Damn it! Don't say such priestly metaphors in front of me, a priest...talk in human language!..."
"Ahem! ... To put it simply, you have great value. And in this seaside place, at this critical time, His Highness Shulot will urgently need you! Therefore, I thought about it carefully for a while, and I thought a little bit. I need to gain some confidence to convince His Highness to accept your surrender personally!"
".My great value? Need under the Temple of Death?..."
Hearing this, Priest Pappu touched his chin, stared at Tikalo who was smiling, and urged him with some urgency.
"You! Speak more carefully! Swear again!..."
"Ancestors witness! The God of Death once received divine revelation. On the Snake Island in the Eastern Sea, there will be a white-skinned evil demon from across the sea attacking! His Highness firmly believes in this prophecy and takes it very seriously. Whether it is sending our exploration ship The team, or the conquest of the Totonac coast, are all driven by divine prophecies to open up the sea route to the East as soon as possible!..."
"God-revealed prophecy? There will be a white-skinned demon attacking on the Snake Island in the East China Sea?... Just because of this prophecy, attack the Totonak tribes?!"
Hearing such ridiculous words, Priest Papu frowned deeply, feeling doubtful and unsure. He had never felt any divine revelation, and he didn't really believe that anyone could do it. But the changes in the Mexican Alliance over the years, and the constant rumors of divine revelation...
"Exactly! We explored thousands of miles eastward and finally found the prophesied Snake Island in Cuba, and also discovered the prophesied large mine!..."
Speaking of this, the eyes of Mayan businessman Tikalo also revealed unforgettable and shocking expressions. He thought for a moment before speaking with certainty.
"Now that the prophecy has come true, the accurate information about Eastern Snake Island should have reached His Highness's ears. Your Highness will only be more eager than before! The commander of the Black Wolf Army's offensive is so fierce, I'm afraid it has something to do with it... and according to what I know It is predicted that in one or two years at most, the first batch of ferocious demons will arrive!..."
"So, respected Priest Papu, His Highness needs to seize the time and open the Eastern Sea Route as soon as possible! He also needs more big ships to cross the vast sea... Therefore, this is your opportunity and the chance to convince His Highness!"
"Um?!"
Priest Pappu's eyes widened, his thoughts flashing like lightning. After a moment, he asked calmly.
"You mean...my surrender will allow Hidden Snake City to fall as soon as possible and avoid a long siege...and the ship and shipwright in my hands are also very important to His Majesty the Death God?...So, I have a huge influence on Your Highness. Is the value worth the other party’s coming?!”
"Exactly!... Dear Priest Papu, I swear by my ancestors and the Serpent God! I will explain your determination to surrender to the kingdom and the benefits involved in it to His Highness one by one!... I will do my best. , and with His Highness’s wisdom, I am very confident!…”
Speaking of this, the Mayan businessman Tikalo opened his eyes wide and looked at Priest Papu eagerly. Priest Pappu touched his chin, his eyes flashed violently, and he pondered for a long time before speaking in a low voice.
"Well, in that case... Tikalo, my friend! After you see His Highness, in addition to these points, tell His Highness... I can also help the kingdom to block the escape route of the seaside chief priest and the descendants of gods... Among them, The gods are preparing to flee to the Maya, and the high priest of the seaside has planned to escape deep inland and collude with the Zapotec people in the Oaxaca Valley!…”
"Gods... Witness the Lord God! If these people are allowed to flee to Maya or to the inland jungle, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the future coastal rule of the kingdom... And I am willing to be loyal to His Majesty and become the pioneer of His Majesty's conquest. Capture all these people and present them to His Highness!"
"Ah! God bless you!..."
Hearing this, Mayan businessman Ti Carlo's eyes lit up and his face was filled with a sincere smile. His back was already soaked with sweat, but his heart was completely relaxed. He can't wait to escape from here, escape from this terrible dungeon that has locked him up for more than half a year!
"Okay! Witness from the ancestors! Dear Priest Papu, I will definitely report your loyalty and value to His Highness carefully!... Well, then I can..."
"Don't worry! I'll make the arrangements! We are on a snail shell now!"
Priest Papu shook his head and interrupted Tikalo's words. He pondered for a while and suddenly asked.
"Tikallo, do you speak the language of the wasteland?"
"Hmm... I know a little bit, but I'm not very familiar with it."
"That won't work! I can't let you go here. Those red-haired barbarians are sharp at shooting and ruthless in their attacks. When you meet them, you may not have a chance to explain... Chuchute!"
"Master Priest?"
"You row a small boat and take him with you. Take advantage of the night and send him to the coast to the west of Jihu City! The patrols there are all Totonak rebels...subordinate troops. These people are more cautious, not so fierce in their actions, and their language is not so fierce. Good communication!…”
"Well...Thank you! Dear Priest Papu!..."
Mayan businessman Tikalo lowered his head and saluted respectfully. He suppressed the eagerness in his heart and asked with a smile.
"Praise the Lord God! If there is a reply from His Highness, how should I contact you?"
"Praise the Lord God! My ship will always patrol the sea outside this water village! I will arrange trustworthy manpower! As long as you raise any Mayan flag, someone will come to you at night to join..."
After this long conversation, Priest Pap’s face was already filled with a friendly smile. He patted Ti Carlo on the shoulder, thought about it, and then gave the last instruction.
"Tikalo, my friend. The Kingdom's navy is patrolling the sea, and I can't go around the rear where His Highness is. Therefore, you will definitely be sent to the commander of the Black Wolf Army! And the commander of the Black Wolf Army has always been fierce, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let you go. You have to pass that level by yourself!..."
"Oh! Commander of the Black Wolf Army!..."
Mayan businessman Tikalo blinked and remembered the familiar young commander. He touched his wise and shining bald head and smiled confidently.
"Don't worry! Priest Papu, my friend, my ally! I know the commander of the Black Wolf Army, and I still have some confidence! ...Then, with the blessing of the Lord God, see you at sea?"
"Okay! Okay! God bless you!...I'm waiting for you here! Don't forget the land of Maya, the agreement and the way out between me and you!..."
"Haha! Okay!~"
