The sun was dim and clouds shrouded the sky. There was a dead silence in the holy sanctuary, and you could almost hear the drop of a needle. The divine smoke continued to rise in the furnace, rendering the aura of the kingdom of God even deeper. Invisible pressure fell on everyone's hearts.

, as if even the wind had stopped.

"Wow!"

A girl who served the "gods" showed fear on her face. She shook her hand and accidentally dropped the pottery pot in her hand. There was a sharp cracking sound, and the pottery pot cracked on the ground and splashed honey water all over the ground. Lian Da

The clothes of the priests and priests and elders were also wet with honey.

"How dare you be so offensive!"

Petel's face was cold and he shouted angrily. He looked at the girl in the first sentence, and looked at the high priest in the second sentence. Then, the old priest leader showed murderous intent in his eyes and gave instructions with a gloomy expression.

"Kill her and make amends to the high priest!...Right here, in front of the high priest!"

Two family warriors immediately stepped forward and grabbed the girl who was lying on the ground and begging softly. Then, one warrior pulled out an obsidian dagger, placed it on the girl's neck, and slashed it without hesitation!

"Bah!"

Pure and bright red warmth spurted out from the young and beautiful body, instantly splashing all over the high priest and Peter. The sacrificial robes of the two theocratic leaders were stained with blood, and even their faces were splattered with blood spots. But the girl trembled and struggled.

In a few seconds, it turned into a blood-red flower and lay on the ground in front of the two of them.

"High Priest, are you satisfied with this apology?"

Petel was smiling, looking at the high priest closely, and his voice was cold. The request to sacrifice the priests and elders really touched his bottom line. And two family warriors holding sharp blades stood beside the high priest.

Beside him, there was a faint threat.

"oh?"

The high priest also had a smile on his face, seemingly unafraid and even looking forward to it. He reached out his hand calmly, wiped the blood spots on his face with his sleeve, and answered calmly.

"Peter, you should know that the more sacred the blood, the more it pleases the gods. And only the life of the divine elder can calm the anger of the God of War."

"you!"

Petel clenched the staff in his hand and stared at him coldly. He stared, as if he would let the warriors take action in the next second. However, this anger only lasted for more than ten seconds, and the priest leader's face showed

disappeared. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out in a long breath.

"Take the bodies away...get down!"

The family warriors bowed their heads in salute, and then left with the soft bodies, leaving only the dazzling bright colors. There was deathly silence in the holy sanctuaries, only the thick smoke of the gods lingered, making it more and more like the Kingdom of God.

"High Priest, the Holy City of Cholula sincerely submits to me, why are you so hard-pressed?"

After a while, the priest leader Petel leaned down and bowed again. The gloom on his face had long disappeared, and it was full of humble requests.

"Dear High Priest, the city of Cholula is willing to hand over more land, gold, silver, gems, and artifact albums! ... Please be merciful and forgive me a little!"

The twelve priests and elders are the top of the Holy City's ruling class. In order to fulfill the king's request, everyone discussed for several days before reluctantly deciding on the candidate for sacrifice, and promised that Yolowa would continue the family of elders and would not be replaced by hereditary. If

If two more people are sacrificed, the balance of power will be completely broken! There may be a split among the elders...

"...A fox who cares about himself will not dare to take action after all..."

Looking at Petel who lowered his posture, the high priest had inexplicable disappointment in his eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth, nodded slowly, and looked at the chief priest and the elders.

"Peter, since you said so, I will give you a chance! I will stay in Cholula City for two days. If you come up with a divine object or inheritance that is enough to seduce me, I can also challenge the high priest.

Team, please explain! Otherwise..."

"Okay! The Holy City of Cholula will definitely satisfy you!"

Hearing this, Pate was immediately overjoyed. When it comes to divine objects and inheritance, there is no force in the world that can defeat Cholula, not even the Totonac people who are good at making cultural relics. He smiled and saluted, and said

After agreeing, the priests and elders also breathed a sigh of relief. They communicated with each other visually, and in their hearts they were thinking about how much blood they would shed and what treasures passed down from their ancestors would be taken out.

The sun was setting in the west, reflecting the fiery red rays, dyeing the Great Pyramid magnificently. And in the sacred place, the sacred smoke mixed with the smell of blood spread in the nostrils of everyone, as if a sacrifice was being held.

"Well, it's getting late, so let's end today's talks!"

The high priest nodded, looked at the sky, and stood up. The robe on his body was dyed red, looking more and more bright.

"Obey you, High Priest."

The old fox Petel had a smile on his face and spoke attentively.

"Tonight, you can rest in my palace! I have the best divine smoke there, which can allow people to communicate with the goddess of life and restore their youth temporarily. If you taste it in the smoke room, and let a few girls serve and sing, it can be said that

Bliss on earth!"

"Oh? Restore youth briefly...serve joyful songs?"

The high priest was startled when he heard this. He looked at Peter in surprise. He was about the same age as himself, already in his early sixties.

"Old fox, you are already this age, how can you still..."

"Ahem... If it's normal, I would naturally be powerless. But if I receive the gift of the goddess of life, I can enjoy it for a while."

Peter's expression did not change and he smiled calmly.

"It's just that this magical smoke is a secret recipe from the Toltec era. Various herbs need to be processed to minimize the weakness afterwards. It is extremely expensive and extremely difficult to configure. It is far more precious than gems! If not

When distinguished guests arrive, even I am reluctant to use it."

"...The holy city of Cholula has a long-lasting heritage, which is really admirable!"

The high priest smiled and nodded. Since you will feel weak after using it, it is to overdraw the vitality in the body through the medicinal herbs. This kind of extreme enjoyment that is greedy for pleasure and does not hesitate to live has always been rejected by wise men. However, his life has been

To the end, if you die in joy...

"

The high priest shook his head and refused frankly. He would not leave his grandson to such a death.

"Peter, I will stay in the outer city tonight and rest under the guard of Mexica warriors."

"...obey you."

Peter raised his eyebrows, suppressed his emotions, and nodded respectfully.

"Then, I'll take you to the outer city!"

After that, the two of them stained their sacrificial robes with blood, left the banquet together, walked down the Great Pyramid, passed through the gate of the inner city, and arrived at the bustling outer city. Along the way, the priests they met bowed their heads and the warriors fell to the ground.

After saluting, the common people prostrated themselves. But the two people talked loudly and laughed, as if they were close friends, returning home happily.

Based on the experience and experience of the old fox, if you serve respectfully and be careful to flatter, your words will definitely fall into people's hearts and make them nod with satisfaction, like a spring breeze.

"Haha! Petel, as you said before, the Quetzalcoatl Island is located in the Great Eastern Lake. The people on the island are tall, docile, and worship gods. They make a living by fishing and planting, and they can make cassava cakes without grinding them.

The cracked corn is cooked whole...it’s quite strange!”

The high priest smiled brightly and looked at Petel who was bowing slightly. The murderous intention in his heart became stronger. After the elder and him died, if there was such a cunning old fox, holding real power, serving the king or his grandson

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause endless harm.

"Haha! High Priest, this world is far bigger than you and I can imagine! In the great eastern lake, there are island people. And deep in the southeastern rain forest, there are also people in the mountain rain forest. They believe in the feathered serpent and are rich in emeralds and gems.

There is one of the most precious jade in the holy city of Cholula. It is translucent and about the size of a human head. It comes from the rainforest thousands of miles southeast! In the Toltec era, this giant jade was processed by the top craftsmen and carved into feathers.

The lifelike head of the snake statue is a sacred object that has been passed down for hundreds of years!..."

Peter said with a smile on his face and a gentle expression.

"High Priest, if you are interested, I will bring the jade statue tomorrow...as the sincerity of the priests and elders of Cholula City!"

"The head of the emerald jade statue? It's completely transparent and the size of a human head?"

Hearing this, the high priest exclaimed in surprise and looked happy.

"There is such a magical thing? It's great. I must bring it tomorrow so I can observe it!"

"Okay! It's a deal!"

Petel smiled and nodded. He looked ahead. The noble house arranged for the high priest was already dozens of meters away and was being guarded by Mexica warriors. From here, it was only a few hundred meters away from the outer city.

"Haha... Shuter, this old immortal, is really cautious. But how can everyone in our holy city harm you at this moment? Even Kuio's family, in order to inherit the position of priest and elder, will not

Let’s attack you now!”

Complex thoughts flashed through the old fox's mind. He pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, reached out from his arms, and took out two top-grade divine cigarettes and a joy potion.

"Dear High Priest, these two top-grade sacred smokes were processed by me personally and have been treasured for a long time. Please be sure to taste one or two! And this happy potion was prepared by the elders of the Holy City with reference to the holy water of the capital city in the lake.

Come out. Please taste it a little and give me some advice!"

"Oh? The top-grade divine smoke that you personally handled, the joyful potion prepared by the elders?"

Seeing this, a sincere smile appeared on the high priest's face. He looked deeply at the old fox and nodded in response.

"God bless you! Then I'll accept it and enjoy it tonight! I've worked hard today, but let's discuss other things tomorrow!"

"Okay! The Lord God bless you! High Priest, please rest and enjoy yourself tonight. I will bring the divine artifacts and visit again tomorrow!"

Petel left the gift, bowed, and turned around to leave. He walked hurriedly, taking about a hundred steps, with a smile on his face.

"After staying for a few more days, using the sacred smoke and potions of the Holy City, and feeling the pleasure that penetrates into the bone marrow... I'm afraid you will never be able to leave..."

Hundreds of steps away, the high priest looked at the potion in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. He looked at the old fox's leaving back with a smile on his face and whispered silently.
