Chapter One Thousand Seventy-Five Shulot’s devout prayer, use my blood to protect my heirs!
The blazing sun hangs high and its light never stops. It sets from the mountains of Granada on the east side of the Atlantic Ocean, and in the blink of an eye it spans thousands of miles and rises from the mountains of Tlaxcala on the west side. Soon, the rising sun
The dawn of the morning sun fell on the top of the Cloud Snake Fortress, and the black death wolf flag was also fluttering beside the altar on the top of the mountain.
"Praise the Lord God! May you send down the dawn, illuminate my way forward, and guide my future!... I am the inspired one blessed by God, and I am the king destined to lead the world... The mighty Age of Discovery has begun
Prologue. I am the only one in the world who can see through the fog of history and identify enemies and friends. I will always walk on the right path, clearly see the trajectory of history, and create a glorious future for all people!…"
The spring breeze blows, and the Mexican plateau in April is full of warmth, and even the morning light is bright. Shulot is wearing a white short robe, standing by the altar at the highest point of the Cloud Snake Fortress, facing the rising sun in the east
Pray sincerely.
After a moment of prayer, he pulled out the obsidian dagger from his waist, cut the palm of his left hand, and dripped red blood on the altar as a sacrifice to the Lord God.
"My supreme lord god, you should protect your people! May the great alliance be united, may the God King and I resolve our differences, may Black Wolf's Mayan expedition be smooth sailing, may Cuba's Snake Island manage to catch white fish..."
"May my wife Alyssa forgive me for my arrangement, may my eldest son Xiuhua excel, may my second son Shaokang be peaceful and happy, may my eldest daughter Guang She shine..."
"Finally, I hope that my third son, Yanshan, can avoid disaster and grow up in the Kingdom of the Lake! My fifth and sixth children, Fei Ling and Fei Yu, can also be safe and smooth, and be born on the seaside! ...
"
Hulot raised his left hand, watching the blood dripping down, reciting the names of his wife and six children, his face showing piety from the bottom of his heart. It wasn't until the bright red soaked the ancient altar that he looked worried about the captain of the guard, Eckardt.
Under the eyes, apply the herbal medicine to stop the bleeding, and then wrap it tightly with the prepared gauze.
"Master, blood is the source of vitality for warriors... As a noble king like you, it is best not to waste blood essence easily..."
"Ekart, this is a sacrifice to the Lord God, and it is also my most important prayer! No other sacrifice can replace my blood... Now that I am here, if the Lord God really exists, He will hear
My call will also help you to some extent!..."
Shulot's face was a little pale, and he said strange and even offensive words to the Lord God, but there was a gentle smile on his face. Then, he smiled solemnly, looked towards the valley in the mountains to the south, and looked at the tributaries of the Tarsus River,
asked in a deep voice.
"Ekart! Have Elaine and Yanshan been sent to the logistics fleet bound for the Lake Kingdom? Have the envoys sent to Chief Colima also boarded the ship?"
"Master, everything is arranged! I personally watched Princess Yilian and Prince Yanshan board the long boat. The fleet was escorted by hundreds of personal guards and sailed westward down the river. It would only take more than half a month at most.
We were able to successfully reach Zicao County in the south of the Kingdom... and the Kingdom's envoy sent to the Colima Mountains also boarded the ship with your letter of greetings to the Colima Chief..."
"Well, good! May the Lord God bless and bless my children to grow up healthily! Whether they are Xiuhua, Shaokang, Guangshe, Yanshan, or the unborn Feiling and Feiyu..."
Hearing Eckart's reply, Shulot nodded solemnly, closed his eyes and prayed devoutly. A month ago, Chief Colima's daughter, the lively and fit cat Elaine, successfully gave birth to his fourth child.
A child, also his third son.
According to the common tradition of Mexica and Colima tribes respecting the sacred mountains and flames, he named his third son "Xo·Xiuhton·Tepētl" (Xo·Xiuhton·Tepētl), which means "Light and Fire"
"The towering peak of the flame", Xiuyan Mountain. And the simple and easy-to-remember nickname is actually "the son of the volcano".
In addition to the newly born three sons, Silver Crow's two sisters, Li Yao and Li Yu, are also pregnant with his children respectively. Among them, the younger sister Li Yao is almost six months pregnant, while the older sister Li Yu is less than three months pregnant.
Arrive. He is about to arrive at the capital city in the lake. He will definitely not be able to see the birth of these two children. He just left their names in advance.
In line with the Silver Crow tribe's tradition of worshiping flying birds, sister Li Yao's fifth child was named "Xo·Miquiztli·Quauhchichiltic" (Xo·Miquiztli·Quauhchichiltic), "the one who shines,
The chagar bird flying in the sky has a long feather", repair the flying feather.
As for the sixth child of sister Li Yu, it is called "Xo·Miquiztli·yahuitlpapalotl" (Xo·Miquiztli·yahuitlpapalotl), "the radiant, feathered crow flying in the sky"
, repair flying feathers.
These long and awkward names are not meant to make up the number of words. On the contrary, every word in the name must reflect some kind of symbol of divinity. As for whether it is a boy or a girl, it is not very important.
In the full name in Nahua language, just change the ending slightly.
"O Lord God! I dedicate my blood and life to you! May my children shoulder heavy responsibilities and grow up, and each of them can stand alone! May they not fight with each other or kill each other!..."
Shulot closed his eyes, prayed seriously, and recited this most sincere blessing. It wasn't until the sun gradually rose and the blood on the altar had dried up that Shulot stopped, covered in sweat.
"May the Lord God bless you! Bless the Holy City!..."
Eckart, the captain of the guard, stood on the left and right, praying quietly with him. He rarely saw the master of the house looking so pious, and it was difficult to guess the king's mind at the moment. It was not until the prayer was completed that he wiped the sweat from the master's face and tried to
He said with relief.
"Master! You don't need to worry too much when you return to the capital city in the lake this time... The God King has sent five hundred Eagle Nobles, five hundred Jaguar Nobles, and a thousand Alliance Nobles to come to Tras
The land of Kara is officially welcoming you! ... Such a grand welcoming team and so many military nobles have never been seen in the history of the alliance! And since the God King has made such a high-profile announcement,
It means some kind of public commitment, not like someone hiding murderous intentions and then immediately falling out..."
"What's more, Princess Alyssa also sent an envoy with a letter written by her to comfort and persuade you... Your four-year-old eldest son, Xiuhua Soter, has been officially adopted by the God King Avit at this year's New Year's Festival.
Canonized as the Son of the Sun God, here to celebrate your illustrious military exploits in defeating the East Totonak Alliance and pacifying the Thousand Miles of Seashore!…”
"From this series of actions of the God King, after you completely pacified the seaside land and established the seaside alliance of millions of tribes... his attitude towards you seems to be far less tough than at the beginning of last year. Instead, he used comfort and peace to
The main thing is to win over!…”
"Well...the greeting from the noble battle group, Alyssa's letter, the Son of the Sun God, Xiuhua Sawtelle...Haha! Ekart, you still don't understand my teacher!"
Hearing Eckart's comfort, Hulot raised the corner of his mouth and slowly shook his head. He stared at the gauze on his left hand, which gradually spread out dots of red, as if through layers of mist, he saw that
A real wound…
"Witness the Lord God! After I established the Coastal Alliance, quickly integrated all the Totonac tribes, and pulled out two legions of armies... my teacher seemed to be really afraid of me! He really treated me as a student.
Treated as an equal opponent seriously. This red wound is not only on my palm, it has also been left in Avitt’s heart for a long time!…”
"Avit sent such a big battle and showed such respect for me...it means that my teacher has really made up his mind! I am his most outstanding student. If he can hide it from others, how can he hide it from others?
I... established my eldest son, Xiuhua, as the son of the sun god of the alliance... This is really a political skill! The real killer move is waiting for me behind..."
"Ah? A killer move?!...Master, what do you mean? Your life will be in danger?!..."
Hearing this, Eckardt's eyes widened, and worry appeared on his face. On the other hand, Schlott smiled gently, with no trace of sadness.
"Eckart, this killing move is not to kill me, but to kill my political life! If I send it to the door and let Avitt take it into his hands, he will naturally not kill me. What is the benefit of killing me? It will only make people happy.
The world is in chaos, civil war breaks out in the alliance, and our great cause falls short..."
"What on earth does the head of the family, King Avit, want to do?!..."
"The rising sun! It's such a beautiful light..."
Shulot pursed his lips and looked up at the sun in silence. The rising sun was soft and close, allowing people to look directly at it. But the sun rising into the sky was too bright and dazzling, making it difficult to look at each other for a long time.
"The sun at noon! But it is so dazzling and distant..."
After a while, until he shed dazzling tears, Shulot lowered his head and chanted quietly. His voice contained a little emotion, a little regret, and was full of peace from the heart, as if
See through time.
"How can the two suns stand together? Only time will last... If I predict correctly... Avitt wants to abolish my status as the heir of the alliance, and make my eldest son, his eldest grandson, the first heir of the alliance!..."
"Only the setting sun and the rising sun can stand together in the sky...Avit, he is thinking about passing on the throne from generation to generation!...Calculating his age, he is 41 years old this year, and Xiuhua is 4 years old...He thought
If I want to take charge of the alliance and be the Supreme God King for another twenty years, both the 24-year-old me and the 13-year-old Chimalpili are actually a bit old. Only if the throne is passed to Xiuhua from another generation, the age will be different.
It’s just right, just like the ancestor Montezuma passed down the throne to his grandchildren..."
"And only under such conditions, ensuring my life safety and passing on the throne to my eldest son... can Alyssa write to me personally to comfort me and persuade me to return to the lake capital as soon as possible..."
"I'm afraid that the day I enter the royal capital is the beginning of my losing the right to inherit the alliance...and my future will be to live a fairy-like life with Alyssa in the magnificent temple and beautiful palace of the royal capital.
In the days to come, I will not be released from this beautiful prison by the King of Gods until I die!…”
