Chapter 12: The Feathered Snake God (1)
Ella hurriedly chased Bjorn in the direction of his departure. When he saw Bjorn, he had gathered some of the discrete teams. He noticed that Ella led the team and the troops were like a great enemy. They hurriedly sorted out the team. Bjorn stood in front of the queue and asked with a dark face:
"King of Sweden, do you want to tear down our armistice agreement?"
Ella shook her head: "No, I just suddenly thought of something coming to ask you. Since I have signed the armistice agreement, I will definitely not attack you."
Bjorn's troops will sooner or later be defeated by the English army after returning to Scotland, and there is no need to tear up the agreement here. Don't chase the enemy, Ayra doesn't want his soldiers to increase casualties for no reason.
Moreover, she does have something to do now to need Bjorn's help.
Seeing that Bjorn was still full of alertness, Ella signaled the soldiers behind her to put down their weapons first. Then she asked:
"Bjorn, do you know what the 'Feedling God' means?"
Seeing that Ella really had no intention of attacking, Bjorn then let go of his guard.
"The capital of Aztland is in a city called Tenochtitlan, and there is a pyramid in the center of the city." Bjorn replied, "The top of the pyramid is enshrined in two gods, one is called Vicillopochtli and the other is called Kchalkoyatli. Vicillopochtli is the sun war god they often mention, and the feathered snake god refers to Kchalkoyatli, one of the main gods of Aztlan."
Ella nodded—her inference of the identity of the "Feathered Snake God" was correct.
She asked again, "Are there only two gods? I heard from the Aztlans that there is a god named Tescartepolica who is also the main god. Is it not in the temple?"
"The gods worshipped by various city-states of Aztland are somewhat different, but Tescartepolica is indeed not worshipped in Tenochititlan. He is the god of witchcraft and death. Every time he appears in the mortal world, he will tease people's fate. The Aztlands are afraid of him."
"I heard that Tescartepolica is the God of Creation?"
"Yes, in fact, too is Kecharcoatel. They worked together to defeat a monster that eats everything, so the world was created. Tescartepolica also lost one leg for this."
"It sounds like this that the relationship between Teslaterpolica and the Feathered Snake God is quite good?"
"No. In the Aztlan mythology, the world has been destroyed four times. We are now in the fifth era. The sun in the first era was Koscartepolica. After defeating the monster, he sent giants to support the world. Kecharcoyatel instigated the cheetah to attack the giants, causing the giants to support the world to fall, and thus the first era was destroyed; the sun in the second era was naturally Kecharcoyatel. He created humans for the first time, but Tescartepolica used a storm to invade the world and destroy the world again. I think their relationship should not be much better, right?"
"Of course, this is just one version." Bjorn added intentionally or unintentionally, "Aztland has many different statements about the legend of creation and the five epochs, and almost every city-state has a slightly different legend."
Ella nodded and continued to ask:
"What about the Sun War God? What did he do to be with the Feathered Snake God, one of the Creation God? I often hear the name of the Sun War God from these Aztlans. But the Feathered Snake God rarely hears them mention it. These Aztlans seem to be protected by the Sun War God, and their hearts are sacrificed to the Sun War God. Why is this?"
Bjorn shook his head: "I am not very clear about the Sun God of War. After all, I haven't been in Aztland for a few years. But I know a little about the Feathered Snake. According to the Aztland people, Feathered Snake has left Aztland."
"Leave?"
"Yes, I left the sea and went east. That's what the legend says."
"Huh? You said you sailed west and arrived in Aztland..."
Amy pointed at her feet in surprise
"Isn't that East of Aztland here? I've never heard of a feathered snake god floating over from the sea. If so, this matter must have been a big deal!"
While Amy was surprised, a line gradually became clear in Ella's mind - in Aztland's myth, the master of the first era was the one-legged war god, while the feathered snake god of the second era created the human race. The one-legged war god destroyed the second era and was naturally unfriendly to humans, so it often attributed to disasters. They saw the Black Death in Winchester. This unprecedented terrible disease made them mistakenly think that it was the one-legged war god. And she, who is located in the east of the sea and has the power to fight against the one-legged war god, was associated with the feathered snake god.
"So that's it." Ella lowered her head and said to herself, "No wonder Tessomok has that attitude towards me. They seem to have already determined that I am the messenger of the Feathered Snake God."
Bjorn and Amy exclaimed at the same time:
"King of Sweden, when did you trick Aztland??"
"Your Majesty, what illusion did you have? If they believed you were the messenger of the Feathered Snake God, Izkoyatel would not make such harsh words when he ran away!"
"But Tessomok has called me like that!" Ella argued, "Izkoyater should be somewhat suspicious, right? Maybe we only lack the most critical kick? Just like a total solar eclipse?"
"After the first step... the Feathered Snake God..." Amy suddenly slapped his hand, "By the way, Your Majesty, can you release the super big snake in your crowbar? Maybe the other person believes it!"
"I just thought so!" Ella raised her chest confidently, "This snake needs alchemy magic to get it out. Dan is in Winchester, so let's try it out!"
——"Give up, this won't work."
Bjorn poured a basin of cold water on Ella and Amy.
"Hey? But my snake is very big..."
"Listen clearly, it's the feathered snake god, feathered snake! Do you think it's an ordinary snake that can count?"
"Feeded! Not long ago, someone added a pair of small wings to my snake in the Island Republic..."
"The 'feather' of the Snake God refers to the feather of the Kechar bird, a bird with gem-like turquoise feathers, whose feathers are used in Aztland to decorate the costumes of kings and high priests. Only people of this status are allowed to use this feather, which is much more expensive than gold!"
"Hey? That is to say, it's a purple robe similar to mine..."
Bjorn glanced at Ella coldly:
