Aztec Eternals

"Lord God, it's really a big island like a mountain!"

The water and sky are vast and vast, and the giant island is hidden in the sky. Standing on the head of the galley, the old militiaman Chiwaco stared at the sudden appearance of the big island. As the expedition fleet approached, the gray-white island grew larger and larger, until it completely filled the sight of everyone, blocking the waves on both sides of the coast!

"Priest Mecate, estimate how big it is?"

Mekat, the priest of the ship, closed one eye, stretched out his arm, and estimated with his thumb. Soon, he reported the numbers in surprise.

"Captain, it is at least a hundred miles long and dozens of miles wide! The peak on the island is estimated to be over a thousand meters high!"

"Really, it's a miraculous big island! There are almost no islands along the way, how could such a big island suddenly appear?... Could it be that it was really transformed by a giant tortoise?"

Chiwako muttered to himself, the shock on his face had not dissipated, and he thought a little more.

"It's no wonder that the people from the Guayma Department said that we will definitely see this big island... Mountain bird, what is the name of this island?"

"Chief, the Ministry of Guayma calls it Tahejöc."

"What, tower what? What do you mean?"

"Uh..."

The mountain bird Cavado scratched his head, he didn't know what it meant, only a vague impression. He took a good look at the island in front of him, and used the Sri Lankan language he mastered freely.

"Tah York! Probably means 'sacred, towering, big island with many birds'!"

Tah York Island is Tiburon Island off the northwest coast of Mexico! It is the largest island in the Gulf of California and the whole of Mexico, covering 1,200 square kilometers, about half the size of Shanghai. The whole island, because of the numerous seabirds inhabiting it, has also been opened up as a nature reserve for birds in later generations.

"Ah! There are indeed many birds, many, many big birds!"

The fleet came to the edge of Tah York Island, and the deafening bird chirping came from all directions, and floated leisurely into the distance. Chiwako looked up and saw thousands of seabirds hovering over the island. From time to time, they soared and rose and fell vertically, perching on the gray-white and brown-yellow mountains in the middle of the island, like elves guarding the mysterious island.

"Well...that tower, huh, huh island is too hard to remember! Such a high mountain, there are so many birds..."

Chihuaco looked at the towering mountains and flocks of birds, and made a quick decision. He patted Cavado next to him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Cavado, why don't we name it after you and call it Shanniao Island! Haha, we took Shanniao and found Shanniao Island, and people in the future will remember you!"

"This... I... Mountain Bird Island..."

Cavado widened his eyes and looked at the laughing leader, not knowing whether to thank him or not.

The old militia didn't care. He quickly put away his smile and stared at the strange big island with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"This big island that suddenly appeared should be what His Majesty asked us to find, a holy place for seabirds, right? An island full of seabirds, stones condensed with bird droppings..."

"Snapped!..."

The crowd watched from the boat, and the birds circled overhead. After staying for a little longer, the sparse bird droppings with the smell of freedom fell from the sky like raindrops.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

"Ah, **** it!"

Ash Earth Puap slammed his eyes shut and lowered his head. He wiped his face hard, but wiped the wet stuff all over the place. Fortunately, this thing just looks disgusting, it's actually not too stinky, and it has a faint salty taste. That's the smell of phosphates in bird droppings, fixing the smelly ammonia.

"Huh? A touch of saltiness?...Damn!"

Puap was stunned, and then spit frantically.

"Bah, bah, bah! Damn bird, **** bird droppings!"

"Countless birds, guano year after year...stones..."

Chiwako reached out and covered his forehead. After a while, he tossed and turned, looking at the soft green and white on the back of his hand, and then looked at the many gray-white rocks under which the birds perched.

"The colors of the rocks here are not quite the same as those along the voyage!"

The old militiaman was silent, his face seemed to understand. Then, he looked at Puap, who was coughing hard, and a smile appeared on the old face.

"Old Pu, bird droppings fall into your mouth, it's a gift from the gods, and it's a good omen!"

"Bah! ... auspicious omen? Fart! Why don't you taste this auspicious omen!"

"Haha, of course it's a good omen! Good omen for going home! There are so many birds on the island, so much bird droppings, and so little rain..."

Chihuaco looked at the island and rarely saw the greenery of the grass.

He thought about what he saw along the way. The more he sailed northwest, the precipitation decreased significantly, and the road became desolate, and even large villages could not be maintained. By the time they were near this big island, the surrounding tribes had changed from settled Yaqi people to semi-nomadic Sri people. Naturally, there is surprisingly little rain here, and I am afraid there is not one or two games a year.

"What Your Majesty ordered, there are many birds, more guano, and no rain... It is the seabird holy place we are looking for, Guano Island!"

"Ah? Old Man Qi, are you sure that this is the place your Majesty asked us to find?"

"Well, I think so! You see, His Majesty's words are closed, and the surrounding tribes are also aware of this place. At least... Should be able to use it for business, right?"

Chiwako touched his wrinkled old face and said in a deep voice. There was a longing for homesickness in his heart, and he did not know how many thousands of miles he had traveled all the way. It was too difficult. He wanted to go back and take a look at his dumb daughter Reed, and he also wanted to give his son-in-law, Wizti, a smack twice. It's just His Majesty's order, and the light exit is like a mountain, pressing on his shoulders that are not wide...

"Hey! Blind gods... let's go, let's land on the island and look at the rocks on the island!"

The crowd immediately docked in the south of the big island and landed from a gentle tidal flat. As soon as I landed on the island, a faint breath came to my face. The smell isn't that bad, but it's a bit choking, and it's hard to describe it in detail.

"Huh? This taste..."

Puap sniffed, a flash of memories flashing on his face.

"It's a bit like the old dung piles that have been piled up for decades outside the city of Qin Congcan..."

"Old Pu, let the warriors be on guard! This is the territory of the Sri people, and you may encounter each other. If you encounter it, don't do it first, try to show goodwill..."

"Understood! Just a few hunting tribes, how can they be the opponents of the kingdom's warriors?"

"It's best if you don't have a conflict! Since the brothers were brought out whole, they have to be brought back in their entirety. Along the way, they have already lost one or two percent..."

"...Fine!"

Puap nodded and ordered the thirty or forty Prepecha warriors who landed.

"You five in a team, go around and see if there are any tribes or savages on the island. Put on leather armor and a big bow for me. If you encounter a tribe, don't do it first, try to be friendly! Then bring the distributed Snail horn, if there is a situation, blow the horn! The Lord God bless!"

"The Lord God bless!"

The warriors bowed their heads and saluted, and then dispersed. This island is huge, and there are mountains in the middle. It takes a lot of work to find out.

The old militiamen looked at the towering hills nearby and estimated that there were at least seven or eight hundred meters. He thought for a while, then looked behind him again.

"Priest Mekat, I'll have a few people follow you, climb the nearby mountain, and measure the size of the island."

"Yes, Captain!"

Mekat nodded respectfully, very submissive to Chiwako. He took some simple tools and suggested again.

"I'll spend the night on that mountain, so that I can measure the angle of the North Star and determine our bearing."

"Okay! It is estimated that there are no beasts on the island, but be careful of possible tribes. The Lord God bless!"

"The Lord God bless!"

Everyone got busy. The sailors chose a high place to build a simple camp and spend the night on the island tonight.

"The stone of guano... guano stone..."

Chiwako murmured and wandered around for a while, and finally found a pile of stones mixed with gray-white and brown-yellow. The pile of stones was covered with bird droppings, and there was a brightly colored bird standing there, looking curiously at the visitor.

"Haw, haw?"

Chivaco pulled his old face down, imitating the voice of Nighthawk, and roared hoarsely.

"scare!"

"Chirp!"

The bird shivered for a moment, and fluttered its wings without looking back.

"Ha ha!"

The old militiaman laughed. For some reason, he was in a particularly comfortable mood today. He couldn't wait to walk to the stone pile, stretched out his hand and twisted a piece of gravel, squeezed it a few times, and the gravel became a small gravel.

"Not hard, very brittle, a little soft..."

Chiwako stared at the crumbs in his hand, pondered for a while, and then lowered his head to taste it. But he thought of something and stopped immediately.

"No. If it's true... it's better to let Lao Pu come... Put all the credit on him, I don't want to go to sea again... Lao Pu, Lao Pu!"

"Ah? Old man Qi, what are you calling me for?"

Puap heard the words and raised his head. He was sitting cross-legged on a rock, nibbling on a cactus fruit. The sweet and sour taste fell in the mouth, making people feel comfortable.

"Come here, hurry up, there is business!"

"Ok?"

Puap scratched his head, ate the fruit twice, and strode over.

"Old Pu, reach out, and then... come on, you can taste the taste of these bits!"

"What?"

Puapu stretched out his hand blankly and took some grayish-white and yellowish pieces.

"Have a taste?"

"Yes! Lick it and see if it melts or not, what the smell is."

"???"

Puap was confused. He lowered his head and just opened his mouth to lick, and suddenly woke up.

"Damn! Damn! Old man Qi, you bastard! What is this? Is it dried bird droppings?"

Chiwaco held back his laughter, shook his head, and told the truth.

"I don't know either, so I'll let you taste it."

"If you don't taste it, you won't even try it if you kill me!"

Puap's face was angry, and he was about to throw away the broken pieces.

"Old Pu, if this is the bird dung stone that His Majesty is looking for, it is a great achievement!"

"Huh? What? A great achievement?"

Puup paused, then clenched his hands and pulled them back. Then, he looked suspiciously at the inconspicuous pieces in his hands.

"These are the guano stones that Your Majesty is looking for? Legend has it that the blessing of the Lord God can increase the production of farmland? But aren't all the mountains and islands all this kind of stones? Does it have the power of harvest?"

"How do I know? Your Majesty's divine revelation is naturally known only to His Majesty. He just pointed to the northwest, and we traveled thousands of miles to the horizon..."

Chiwako sternly shook his head. Then, with a slight smile on his old face, he asked in a low voice.

"How about it, Lao Pu, do you try it? If you don't, I will! When the time comes, the credit for discovering the divine stone will be credited to me..."

"taste!"

Puap opened his mouth quickly and poured a handful of shreds into his mouth. Then, he was stunned, and a bitter look suddenly appeared on his face.

"Uh! Bah!..."

"Don't! Don't spit it out first, let's take a good look at the taste, and tell your majesty at that time!"

"..."

Puap immediately closed his mouth again, his face turning the color of pig liver. After a while, he spit hard.

"Bah, bah, bah! Damn, it all melted in my mouth!"

"Ha ha!"

Chiwaco couldn't help but laugh.

"What's the taste?"

"Bah ah ah! It's salty, astringent and bitter! It doesn't smell..."

"Huh? Struvite doesn't smell?..."

The two looked at each other, both of them undecided.

"Old man Qi, is this the struvite that His Majesty was looking for?"

"Old Pu, you ask me, who shall I ask? Otherwise, will you try other stones?"

"Bah! Want me to taste it again?"

Puap looked dissatisfied. Then, his eyes flashed and he looked towards the east coast.

"Old man Qi, you say, do the nearby Sri people know? If they could fertilize the fields, wouldn't they use it?"

"Sri people just hunt and fish~www.readwn.com~ and don't know how to farm, what do you know?"

"Humph! Just grab a few Sri people and ask! They have lived in this area for hundreds of years, and they will definitely know something..."

In front of the rock where the birds perched, the two were discussing in a deep voice, unable to make up their minds for a while. Suddenly, a sharp snail horn suddenly sounded not far away, echoing over the entire island, and a burst of birds were startled!

"DiDi! DiDi! DiDi!..."

"Short snail number, there is an enemy situation!"

"Dry!"

However, in an instant, the old militiaman Chiwako had a tough spear in his hands. In the hands of the clay warrior Puapu, he clenched the bronze dagger. Both of them were wearing leather armor. Although they were chatting and laughing just now, they both maintained the vigilance of veterans.

But after a while, dozens of sailors gathered around, wearing cotton and leather armor, holding spears and long bows. Everyone gathered for a while, ready for battle, and rushed in the direction where the horn sounded!
