Aztec Eternals

The night was deep, and the darkness came through the window, making it hard to breathe. The candlelight flickered, temporarily dispelling the dark night outside the side hall, and bringing in a dash of light.

The grandparents and grandsons were wearing casual clothes and sat close to each other. An old face with a shallow smile, a young face with deep sadness. After being so quiet for a long time, the expressions of the two gradually converged, and the surging emotions were hidden.

"Shirot, my child. I can see you grow up with my own eyes, and see your heroic and decisive appearance... I am full of pride and joy in my heart."

The high priest Shuter looked calm, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Not long after, I can still see you get married, see you continue the family... It's a joy, no regrets!"

Seirot pursed his lips, fell on the ground, and saluted his grandfather.

"Grandfather, the elder is sick, you can't fall... The religious reform cannot be separated from you, and the great cause of the alliance needs you to maintain it!"

"Ha ha!"

High Priest Shuter laughed, and even burst into tears. Then, he stretched out his hand and gently touched his grandson's head.

"Shirot, my child, the great cause of the alliance is up to you..."

Afterwards, the high priest stood up with a solemn expression. He opened his mouth slowly, his words calm and deep, making people shudder.

"The list of rebellions in the hands of Prince Totoki, and the names of the nobles to be dealt with by Tracopan, were all drawn up by myself."

"Ah! What?! You are behind all this?..."

Hearing this, Shirott was shocked and exclaimed in surprise. He was a little unbelievable.

"But, but!... It was you and the king who were conspiring to assassinate the nobles of Tracopan..."

"Shirot, my child, the human heart cannot stand the test, but the human heart can be induced."

The high priest nodded calmly and smiled lightly.

"The high priesthood and the royal family deprived the great nobles of Tracopan of their autonomy, reduced the seal of a large amount of land and mouths, and took back the priesthood of the priests from the gods. The local nobles and priests will naturally be dissatisfied. It is the hidden fire. Subsequently, the alliance reduced the garrison of Trakopan, relaxed the management of the city-state, and ignored the frequent gatherings of nobles, and the fire gradually rose. Coupled with the intentional cooperation of Prince Trakopan, the alliance secretly Wei's secret temptation, and Elder Uger's hints, the flames became more and more intense, and developed into an assassination plot..."

"Prince Tracopan, Alliance Guard, Elder Uger... all participated in it, inducing this conspiracy..."

Shirot was stunned, and felt a chill in his heart.

"So, from the beginning of the conspiracy to the preparation for the assassination, the so-called rebellion of the Tracopan nobles has always been in the hands of the Alliance?"

"Exactly. This assassination has always been under the control of the Alliance. In fact, in this list, only the three great nobles with the most bans are really prepared to send assassins to assassinate the Venerable. "

The high priest smiled lightly, lowered his head slightly, and looked at his palm. He saw the bright red on his hands again.

"As for the other dozen or so, they just participated in the banquet and heard about it, but they didn't report it. They didn't come to the High Priests first to report it. This is still a serious crime. How to punish it depends on the needs of the alliance."

"Weaving accusations and raising prisons..."

Sherlot lowered his eyes slightly. The centralized reform of the Mexica Union, like the inheritance of the Union throne, is full of blood and fire. The royal family center and the high priest have the most powerful strength, ruthless, resolute and rude to clear all obstacles, even cruel.

"The fate of mortals is always determined early by the Lord God, and only those who are blessed by God can see it in advance."

The high priest's expression was a little vicissitudes of life, but also a little leisurely, as if seeing through the fog of fate, everything became calm.

"My child, the Lord God shines on the Texcoco Lake District with the most sacred radiance! From the beginning of the Reformation, the fate of the nobles of Tracopan has been doomed. They are destined to be like the nobles of Texcoco, Just five more years to live..."

Thinking of this, the high priest shook his head lightly, his expression firm and his will as iron.

"In Gyeonggi, there can't be such a group of eccentric nobles, occupying land and mouths, and threatening the capital city in the lake at all times! If they are strong enough, they should be wiped out."

"The so-called reform is to use the bones of the old nobles to pave the way for a new road. The only way for the nobles of Tracopan to survive is to participate in the Western Expedition to separate the seals, or take the initiative to request a change of seals. Prince Totoki is very smart and has always been Cooperating with the alliance, the alliance is also willing to leave a benchmark... and the nobles who are aware of the current affairs have left, and the remaining stubborn and conservative people will all sacrifice to the main god~"

"...The fate of mortals is already doomed."

Hearing these familiar words, Shiloh felt a little bit in his heart. He bowed his head slightly, listening to his grandfather's narration, savoring the apparent cruelty in the political struggle, but he could not understand the vicissitudes hidden in his grandfather's words.

"Shirot, my child. The conspiracy of the Tracopan nobles, the alliance has been under the control of the alliance, and there is no threat. The reason why I asked Prince Totoki to make the first report at this time is just to let you know your new experience. The right to interpret the meaning is not conspicuous.”

The high priest smiled gently and shook his grandson's hand.

"I already know the divinely inspired scriptures you spoke at Shenwei University. The mysteries of the gods encompass all things in the world and have the power to create. This is a road I have never imagined, and I have never seen before. I don't know where it leads. But I believe that you understand it in your heart. The road is always made by people, just try it at this time, and be a little bit cautious..."

Having said this, the high priest paused. His eyes were gentle, he looked at the young and determined face of his grandson, and smiled confidently.

"However, my child, it's better for you to say it now. Since I am the high priest and hold the power, I will help you deal with the beginning and the end in advance, and also reduce the trouble in the future... The kingdom of the lake is not deeply rooted, you still If you have any needs, let me know as much as you can! I will solve it for you..."

Sherlot lowered his eyes, and warm emotions surged in his chest like a tide. He held his grandfather's hand and was silent for a long time before speaking in a deep voice.

"Grandfather, the Kingdom of the Lake has been conquering all over the world, and it has developed rapidly. UU www.uukanshu.com has also gathered tribes of various ethnic groups. I need more Mexicans to enrich the kingdom and balance different ethnic groups.. ."

"In addition, the kingdom has newly resettled 90,000 Tecos tribesmen, and after the autumn harvest, the legion will be mobilized to carry out a distant expedition. I need food support from the alliance to fill the kingdom's warehouse and reduce the pressure on food..."

"The production of copper mines in the kingdom has increased rapidly. The mined copper materials must be added with tin materials and cast into bronze weapons, armors, farm implements, and tools. The tin ore mainly comes from the southern city-states of the Alliance, and Jontar further south. The southern city-states of the alliance are not easy to intervene. I want to obtain some tin mines in the land of Jontar along the river... "The kingdom's gem trade is an important source of wealth, and it is best to further communicate to various ministries. The city-state expanded and opened up independent trade routes to the prosperous south. This trade route also goes along the Tulsa River and passes through the Land of Jontar..."

"The kingdom is in the ascendant, and it needs more talents to fill in everywhere. What is most needed is a priest who understands writing, knows basic math, and believes in piety. The second is a senior craftsman who is proficient in a certain production and can lead apprentices. By the way, also We need experienced water control masters who can design canals, as well as professional old farmers who are familiar with the construction of Chinampa..."

"Population, food, tin mines, trade routes, talents..."

Sherlot said a lot in one go. In this cruel world, he has long been accustomed to face all difficulties independently, and only his grandfather can make him depend on him.

High Priest Shuter nodded calmly with a gentle smile on his face. He lowered his old face and pondered deeply, recalling the situation all over the alliance. After a while, he raised his head and promised calmly and forcefully.

"Shirot, my child. I will solve everything you need!"
