Aztec Eternals

The clouds covered the moon, leaving only the changing stars. In the starry night, a gust of breeze blew past, stirring the bonfire of the fire pit, and on the faces and hearts of everyone, an alternation of light and darkness flashed. Desire rises and falls in it, showing the ideal brightness for a while, and the black light of temptation for another time.

Avet stopped his gaze and looked at Kepana, who was dressed in black. The firelight reflected her elegant and bright purity, and the black clothes outlined her graceful and moving figure. Avette was heartbroken for a moment, and Kepana under the bonfire was somewhat similar to his deceased wife.

Two years ago, shortly after giving birth to Chimarpili, his first wife regretted going to the kingdom of God because of unstoppable bleeding. Alyssa cried to tears, and in the middle of the night, so did he.

It was a gentle and beautiful woman, also wearing mature and elegant black clothes, as if she was sleeping peacefully. He buried her with his own hands under the Avivit tree by Lake Texcoco, and painted his own symbol on the trunk. He left the warm companionship in his heart on the symbol, gave up the place by the pillow to the memory, and then plunged into the cold and cruel long war. It has been two years in the blink of an eye.

Gilliam silently bowed his head and saluted, silently expressing his position. Avet pondered in his heart.

He naturally understood the meaning of "acceptance" in Kechar's words. This is a complete devotion, dedicating a noble granddaughter, and not even asking to be a full wife. In this way, the chief priest's line and the king's line are deeply integrated again, regardless of each other, and quickly complete the integration of the capital's political power. At present, Ugel should not be counted on, and Kechar's position is still solid, which seems to be a win-win choice.

Avit's eyes flickered. He looked around the crowd, Kechar smiled like a spring breeze, Jilim saluted solemnly, Kepana trembled slightly, and Acap murmured softly. In the end, it was Shulot who was dressed in white. He looked worried, as if thinking of who?

Avette's thoughts changed, and the daughter of Shengxue in white appeared. He softened his heart and sighed softly, only light was left on his face. He looked around again, and he knew it, so he made a decision.

"Dear High Priest, thank you for your love." Avette smiled. This is his first greeting to Kechar tonight.

Kechar's smile stopped, and he had a premonition that something was wrong.

"I was born as a samurai, and I don't know much about the knowledge of priests. On the contrary, this Acap priest by my side, from the holy city of Teotihuacan, has a lot of knowledge, good looks, and is not yet married.

He is my confidant and love, so I took the liberty to ask for him: I wonder if the egrets of Teotihuacan are lucky enough to meet the swifts of Tenochtitlan? "

Speaking of which, Avit first pointed to Acap, then nodded slightly and saluted, with a formal and solemn manner.

Quetzal was slightly condensed, the priest of Teotihuacan? He shook his head in his heart, without hesitation, but it was not easy to refuse face to face. In a flash of thought, he smiled again and nodded in greeting.

"Your Highness's proposal is very good. But my granddaughter has always admired you only. Let me ask her what she thinks." Having said this, Kechar turned his head. He looked at Kepana, who was in a daze, with serious eyes.

"Kepana, is what Grandpa said right?" The chief priest's tone was calm, with a slight emphasis on the second half of his sentence.

"Ah!" Kepana finally came to her senses. She boldly and quickly glanced at Acapu's handsome and refined face, her heart beating inexplicably, and her face was slightly red.

"Yes, I do!" Kepana nodded her head with a bright smile.

"You..." Kechar made a rare gaffe.

He opened his mouth and looked at his beloved granddaughter, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and he raised the copper-plated divine scepter subconsciously.

"Okay! The Cardinals met under the blessing of the Goddess of Spring, and it was a joyous event to meet each other in the surroundings!" Without waiting for Kechar's reply, Avit smiled and concluded. He stood up and held Kechar's hand, as well as his scepter.

"Thanks to the chief priest for his love! Acap, are you still saluting?!"

Acap was at a loss for a while, he was decided? He subconsciously obeyed the order.

Then, Avet looked at Gilliam again.

Gilliam also nodded and saluted. One is to express praise, and the other is to lead the match.

The union of Acap and Kepana is of great benefit to the king's career. This will not only ease the relationship with the chief priest, but will not be too close, which is convenient for some future processing.

At the same time, since the king highly valued Acap, he just happened to draw him to the center. It is also time to weaken the Teotihuacan faction and prevent one faction from becoming too powerful. Finally, when the time is ripe in the future, Akap can be supported and replaced by Kechar with the identity of Kepana.

Gilliam made a quick calculation in his heart and analyzed his interests, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up from his seat, holding Acap, who was in a daze, with one hand, and Kepana, who was smiling, with the other.

Kepana felt a chill in her hand, and felt a cold and hard touch, like the metal of the Western Tarasco.

Immediately, her hand was handed over to a big warm hand. She looked at the owner of the big hand, looked at the jade-like face and unruly temperament, smiled and clenched the big hand tightly.

Gilliam nodded inwardly. He saluted again and proposed to the temple: "Respected king, noble chief priest. Let's discuss mundane matters here, why not let the two young priests meet in the side hall and discuss the knowledge of the gods?"

Having said that, Gilliam pointed his finger to his chest.

Seeing Gilliam's gesture, Avit hesitated slightly, then nodded with a smile: "This is very good! What does the chief priest think?"

Kechar suppressed the emotions in his heart and forced a smile: "Alright, let the two exchange a word or two to see if it is suitable."

In his heart, he had already decided that once he went back, he would reprimand Kepana. It seems that he was too soft-hearted with his granddaughter before. Marriage is such a big event, but she can't help it!

Gilliam asked the servants to take the two to the most hidden and beautiful side hall. It is located in the deepest part of the flower sea in the palace, with endless blooming tropical flowers. It was also secluded and secluded, no one disturbed.

Then, at the moment when his confidant servants saluted, Gillim quietly took out a tube of potion from his robe. Then he supported the servant and secretly passed the medicine to the other party. The eyes of the two met, and the servant nodded slightly, smiled respectfully, and followed Kepana and Acap.

"There are vines in the wild, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, who is clear and graceful. It is my wish to meet and meet."

At this time, the Aztec society was also in the late tribal era, just like the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient China, when the Book of Songs was flourishing. The Great Unification has just sprung up, the ritual and legal system has not yet been established, and the folk customs are simple and not far away. Women also have the right to inherit property and status, and they are more bold and free when it comes to marriage between men and women.

Wait for Gilliam to return to the hall, salute and sit down. Kechar had regained his amiable smile. He asked the ascetic priest behind him to remove the wooden basket and open the lid. Dozens of wooden boards full of patterns were presented in front of everyone. The chief priest took out a piece and carefully held it in front of Avit.

Shirlot also stepped forward to watch it carefully. On the top of the board is a graphic emblem, similar to the commander's board, representing different city-states. On the left side of the board is a small warrior figure, representing the strength of the city-state. There is a rectangular block on the left side of the villain, with different vertical bars drawn in it, representing the specific samurai team.

On the right side of the wooden board is a simple grain pattern, representing the city-state's stockpile of grain. At the bottom, there are long flags of big nobles with different family crests, many feathers of small nobles, and village symbols with simple signs.

"Could this be..." Avette was finally moved and had some guesses.

"Yes, as expected by His Highness! This is the detailed information of the city-states in Mexica, as well as the military strength of the surrounding vassal city-states." Kechar smiled gently, with absolute confidence in his smile.

"This is the most accurate information that the ascetic priests have obtained by going deep into the various states. It includes the specific strength of the warriors and the different families they belong to. Among them are the great nobles who are close to the great temple, the small nobles who have gods in their hearts, and the villages influenced by the priests. With the support of these maps and the Great Temple, you can truly control the Alliance!"

This is a bargaining chip that cannot be refused. In any age, priests, priests, and monks are the best spies and proper messengers.

They can move around freely, are trusted by ordinary people and samurai, and have enough identities to contact nobles at all levels. At the same time, he is also protected by the blessing of faith, making him the most perfect intelligence worker. For thousands of years, countless wars have been fought in the name of religion. And in preparation for war, the same goes for the infiltration of the intelligence network.

In Mexica society, high-ranking ascetic priests can represent the Great Temple, secretly win over nobles and warriors at all levels, and can devote themselves to the faith at any time. They are an important force for the Great Temple to control the non-direct city-states, and they are also one of the keys to the maintenance of the alliance.

Avite thought for a moment, then smiled and held Kechar's hand cordially. Immediately, he ordered his servants to serve the finest tequila and toast to the high priest. Kechar also smiled kindly and raised his glass in return. The two drank at the same time and reached a settlement!

A milky top-quality tequila that shimmers and flows in bright fire, radiating a dreamlike light. But this light cannot penetrate the barrier, and truly illuminate the darkness inside, as if unable to see the changing heart.

Shilote watched the performances of the two of them, and seemed to understand. Do you have to be like this to be a true ruler? He watched the two chat enthusiastically, and mentioned the war that had just passed, as if Tisok's death was just a detail that had nothing to do with the overall situation. During this period, Gilliam also seriously told a few jokes, which caused everyone to laugh heartily, and Shulot couldn't help laughing.

For a time, the guests and the host in the hall rejoiced, and the king and the chief priest formally reconciled and joined forces for the future of the country. It seems that everyone has forgotten the two young men and women who left.

Kechar nodded in satisfaction. Although there were some minor accidents, the purpose of this trip was smooth. Next, he will continue to promote the binding with the king's power, and then as long as the interference of the Teotihuacan family is removed, the chief priest's family will still be firmly at the top of the power! When the elders return to power, even if Avit wants to do something, he will hurt his own siblings.

"It seems that the king still misses his deceased wife. It seems that this can be used. Similar costumes, similar appearance and actions, and Kepana can be trained again... If this does not go well, Prince Biriel of Texcoco The same is not yet married, and the glorious nobles of the capital..."

Kechar calculated in his heart, and when he heard Gilliam's serious jokes in his ears, he suddenly realized that something was wrong: Is this delaying time? No, my granddaughter!

Kechar's complexion changed greatly, and he was about to get up immediately. Jilim supported Kechar and asked solemnly and suspiciously, "Noble chief priest, isn't it funny when I tell a joke?"

Kechar's anger flashed, and he smiled and gritted his teeth: "It's funny, it's funny, this old man is so funny!"

With his right hand covering his left chest, he seemed angry and sad, but he was already holding the hidden dagger. Although it has not been used for a long time, the poison has been tempered when going out this time.

Behind him, the ascetic priest also put his hand into his arms, and the situation was about to explode.

"Now that we are a family, it is my duty to satisfy you. I heard that the ascetic priests have a tradition of cutting themselves and sacrificing blood. I wonder if I can get your advice."

Gilliam took out the obsidian dagger from his bosom, his wrist was as fast as lightning, and he cut several openings in his chest in an instant, revealing his extraordinary martial arts. His technique is extremely precise, these wounds are just scary to look at, but they will not leave any sequelae.

His face remained unchanged, and he let the blood flow, his wrist was slightly deflected, and the dagger pointed at Kechar.

"Noble chief priest, are you satisfied? Is my sacrificial action standard?" Gilliam bowed his head slightly, looking like a lynx ready to go, with pure and translucent eyes.

Avette has taken two steps back silently. Shirotte held a short blade and protected him by his side. Then the guards also arrived, carrying the topaz scepter.

Avit then laughed and scolded: "Gilliam, how can you discuss the knowledge of sacrifice in front of the chief priest? Why don't you apologize and step back!"

Hearing this, Jilim quickly retracted the dagger. Then he bowed down solemnly and apologized to Kechar.

Afterwards, Avit took Tisok's divine scepter from the guard and said to Kechar with a smile.

"Chief Priest, this is the divine scepter of the Great Temple. I will return it to you here, and then wait for you at the enthronement ceremony to bestow on behalf of the gods!"

Seeing the familiar divine scepter, Kechar's eyes changed, and at last he suddenly smiled, like a spring breeze blooming.

He took a deep breath: "Thank you, Your Highness. I'm really old, and my chest hurts so badly. Lord Gilliam's sacrifices are very standard, and you can come to the Great Temple if you have time. The old man will be warmly entertained and teach more advanced sacrifice."

A higher sacrifice? After that, there are human sacrifices. Shirot can already understand everyone's conversations, but he doesn't quite understand why it has developed to this point.

A servant came hurriedly, and he nodded slightly. Only then did Jilim stand up from the ground, and Kechar froze again. Soon, the banquet was back to normal again. Everyone laughed at Yan Yan, as if nothing had happened.

After another quarter of an hour, Kepana returned with Acap's arm. Her eyes flowed, with a bright look and a smile from the heart. Seeing her grandfather, she shrank slightly and hid herself under Acap's arms.

Acap looked at Kepana tenderly. Since drinking the holy water, he has always had an inexplicable joy and joy. And after the two of them drank not long ago, this joy and joy became even more difficult to restrain, and everything came naturally. Is this beautiful and lively girl ~www.readwn.com~ her own wife from now on?

Seeing Kechar, he nodded respectfully, and then pulled Kepana tightly.

Sherlot understood everything after seeing the changes in the two of them. Then he looked at Gilliam and was speechless.

Kechar still had a spring breeze on his face. He looked at Acap and sincerely praised everyone.

"The old man was dazzled just now. Only now did he realize that the priest Akapu, whom His Highness highly valued, is indeed a good match for Kepana!"

"Before His Highness ascends the throne, let them hold the wedding in these two days! From then on, the Great Temple is His Highness's most loyal subject. I will also send messengers to the high priest of Teotihuacan, brazenly asking for it. , and leave such a talented person as Priest Acap in the Great Temple."

Soon, Kechar salutes Avett and bids farewell. Gilliam saluted Kechar solemnly again, and Kechar returned the salute with a smile.

Then, he put on the topaz divine scepter and gave Shirlot a deep look. Finally, his gaze rested on Kepana and Acap.

"Kepana, let's go." The chief priest greeted Acap with a smile, and then waved his granddaughter over.

Kepana glanced at Acap reluctantly, then followed Kechar obediently.

"Grandfather still loves me like this! He is old, and when he gets married, he will still have to visit him often." Kepana thought happily.

Avette smiled and patted Acap on the shoulder, as did Shilot. Gilliam bowed deeply and apologized. Acap smiled blankly.

The next morning, when the morning light appeared in the sky. Shirott turned over. He put on Teotihuacante's attire, sorted out all the gifts, and waited.

Today is the day to meet the elders.
