The news of the birth of Shuluo's eldest daughter, Light Snake, quickly spread among the upper echelons of the seaside land, especially among the elites of Totonak. Although this news was not officially circulated, it certainly could not be hidden from the alliance. As for Xiu
As for Lot, he didn't want to hide it.
Because this newly born God-blessed child, after being deified through the legends of the priests, is the powerful legal system for the kingdom to control the seaside land, and is also one of the most powerful supports to stabilize the hearts of all tribes!
"The kingdom wants to control this thousand-mile eastern seashore...and now, the kingdom has firmly controlled it!"
This is the political voice that Shulot needs to express. The control of the seaside land and the access to the east are his bottom line of interests. And after two days of discussions with the chief priest of the seaside, Yi Cui, he finally agreed with the Lord God.
In the temple, I met Tikallo, a Mayan businessman who had random thoughts and had trouble sleeping and eating.
"Your Highness! Your most loyal servant, with the good news from afar, sincerely sends you..."
With an expressionless face, Shulot walked into the side hall of the temple. He just glanced at Tikalo coldly, and gave the order to the captain of the guard mercilessly.
"Ekart! Tikalo deceived the kingdom and designed the exploration fleet... Give him sixty lashes! Right in front of the statue of the main god! No matter life or death!"
Hearing the last words "life or death," the captain of the guard, Ekart, raised his brows and immediately had an idea in his mind. He took the execution whip, covered with cold salt water, and strode towards the frightened Mayan businessman Tika.
Luo.
"Ah! Ah this! Your Highness! I...I didn't, I'm not..."
"Pah! Pah!..."
"Ah!...O Lord God!..."
"Pah! Pah!..."
"Ah!...O Serpent God!..."
Two red-haired warriors, one on the left and one on the right, took off Ti Carlo's robe and pressed him on the cold bluestone. Then, the captain of the guard, Ekart, looked stern, stretched his arms, turned his body sideways, used his feet as a pivot, and waved with all his strength.
He raised the long whip and made a sharp sound of breaking through the air! His movements were extremely skillful, and his position control was also very precise. He avoided the back and waist that could kill someone, and hit Ti Carlo hard on the butt and legs.
, and blood marks were carved in an instant.
"Pa! Ten lashes!"
"ah!"
Every time the heavy whip was swung, the Mayan businessman Tikalo burst into hysterical screams! The whip dipped in salt water could only be hit a dozen times, but his skin was torn and his body was shaking with pain. The play
After the painful whipping, when the wound encountered salt water, there was another burning pain, as if it was burning!
The Mayan businessman Tikalo struggled violently, like a fish on a chopping board, but was held down by the strong warriors. He had never suffered such a painful punishment, even in the dungeon of Priest Papu.
He also deliberately spared his life. But at this moment, facing the "merciless" whipping by the captain of the guard, thinking of His Highness's cold expression, his wise head was filled with pain and fear, and he even howled with unknown meaning.
from the Mayan language.
"Ah! Heavenly Serpent!...Ancestor!...Grandfather!...Father!...I, I'm going to see you! Ah!..."
"Pah! Pah!...Thirty lashes!"
"Well…"
Eckart, the captain of the guard, moved very steadily, whipping one whip after another. He listened to Ti Carlo's screams, each one hoarse and fainter, and his hand quietly loosened some strength. And where the whip fell, there was almost no
A good piece of meat, but full of hideous and terrifying scars, even bleeding!
"Snapped!"
"."
The whip fell, and drops of blood splashed everywhere. From a distance, Tikalo was covered in blood and motionless, lying on the bluestone of the temple, as if he was a sacrifice being sacrificed.
"The last ten lashes!"
In fact, the whipping of the captain of the guard Eckart is very skillful, and it is one of the ways of self-torture by the ascetic priests. Such wounds are extremely painful and scary to look at, but they are only skin wounds and cannot kill people at all. And the whipping of the captain of the guard is not life-threatening at all.
If you really want to beat him to death, you only need to hit him hard on the vital part of his back for about ten times, and you can injure Tikalo's internal organs and kill him on the spot!
"Pah! Pah!..."
"."
"The Lord God witnesses! Head of the family, the sixty lashes have been used!..."
The captain of the guard, Eckardt, put away the bloody whip, turned around and lowered his head to return to life. Hulot looked at Ti Carlo, who was so breathless that he could no longer scream, and nodded slightly. Such a profound shock should make him
This cunning Mayan businessman will remember his last life!
"Ti Carlo, do you plead guilty?"
".Your Highness...I...I...confess...confess...the Lord God...witness..."
"Um."
Shulot looked calm, staring at Ti Carlo's tear-filled eyes, looking at his old face with a lot of snot and tears, and then looking at the blood stains and whip marks on the other person's body. After a while, he knelt down.
, touched Ti Carlo’s divine bald head and warned sternly.
"The Lord God witnesses! Tikalo, you have accepted your guilt. And the merciful Lord God is willing to give you one last chance!..."
"And if you dare to deceive the kingdom again and make some secret plans...I will personally sacrifice you to the Lord God on the altar!..."
Tikalo trembled all over and looked up at the expressionless king, with deep-seated fear in his eyes. At this moment, the innocent shadow of young Shulot had completely disappeared from his heart. Only one person remained.
The king who is cold and ruthless, unable to see his thoughts, can kill him at any time!
"Um."
Shulot stood up and then gave instructions to the two guards behind him.
"God bless you! Use my wound medicine to treat his wounds!"
"Yes! Your Highness!..."
After giving all these instructions, Shulot turned around and was about to leave the courtyard. When he saw the king who was about to leave, Tikalo yelled out with all his strength, even though he was in pain and couldn't move.
"Your Highness...Your Highness!...Witness the Lord God! I have...vital...news to...report to you!..."
"Huh? Say it!"
"The... naval commander of Hidden Snake Holy City... Papu! Priest Papu! He wants to take... the fleet and the shipwright... to surrender to you... personally!..."
"The naval commander of Hidden Snake City? The guy who attacked the exploration fleet and captured you?"
Hearing this, Shulot frowned. He walked up to Ti Carlo again, knelt down, looked into his eyes, and asked.
"You mean shipwright? What shipwright? The Mayan royal shipwright you lost?..."
"…Yes."
Mayan businessman Tikalo trembled. He carefully glanced at His Highness's calm face and replied in a low voice.
"Priest Papu... captured me and released me... He wanted to bring... a fleet of two thousand people, seven galleys, a large number of shipwrights and all the big timber... to surrender to you personally..."
"He promised to prevent... the escape of the chief priest and the descendants of the Gods of Hidden Snake Holy City. He is willing to lead the king's group into the strong Hidden Snake City..."
"And his only condition is to surrender to you personally and continue to serve you to conquer the Mayan land in the east!..."
