Time is like water, passing by endlessly, and things in the world are moving forward without stopping for anyone.
After Gillim left, he went straight to the palace to report back to King Avit. Early the next morning, Avit summoned Shulot to meet alone and asked about the prophecy of the East China Sea.
Shulot was prepared and came in a hurry. He brought a long-drawn map of the East China Sea and a hand-drawn portrait of the colonists.
The door of the stone hall was opened and then closed tightly again. There was no one else around, the guards were sent away, and even Gillim could not enter. The teacher and student met secretly for a day, talking frankly and saying everything. Until dusk fell, Hong
The sun was setting in the west, and the long meeting came to an end.
Afterwards, the king summoned his attendants and held a small dinner. He drank some wine and asked about the details of the wedding arrangements before letting Hulot leave.
The night was dim and the evening breeze was blowing. The candlelight in the king's hall was swaying, like the changing heart of the king. Avitt frowned and stood alone in the middle of the hall. He believed in his own judgment and believed that Shulot was not lying. The king's expression was like
He was as angry as he was happy, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire, and he looked in the direction of the sunrise.
"...If Shulot's divine revelation is true, across the sea in the far east, there will be a rich and powerful new continent, many new crops and tamed animals, and countless new technologies that can change the world!... Haha, this world
, is so vast! It turns out that there are so many lands that can be conquered and so many opponents that can compete with each other in the world. It is really thrilling and full of joy at the same time!"
Avitt murmured without changing his expression. A true king is always tenacious, has strong self-confidence, and is never afraid of the strength of his opponent!
In the high priest's house, Shulot sat opposite his grandfather. He looked calm and smiled slightly, telling the story of the divine revelation in the dream and the talks during the day.
During the daytime talks, Avitt had already made a promise: the kingdom would donate the manufacturing technology of the Sun God Eagle Cannon and the Crocodile God Galley to the Alliance, and send professional craftsmen to teach them. The Alliance would return 10,000 mexicans and tacitly agree.
Conquer Otter City and support the kingdom’s exploration of the East China Sea!
After listening, the high priest sat with his eyes closed and was silent for a long time. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at his grandson solemnly.
"Who taught you the prophecy of the East China Sea?"
"...Well?"
Hearing this, Shulot was a little surprised. He shook his head and told him frankly.
"Grandfather, the prophecy of the East China Sea was received by me in a dream after being inspired by the gods. There was no forgery at all, and no one taught it!"
"...In this way, it is true!...It will be verified within ten years, or more than ten years at the longest!"
Thinking of this, the high priest frowned and was silent in thought. Many illegal thoughts flashed in his mind, but he was not allowed to mention it to outsiders. After a while, he solemnly shook his head and gave a serious warning.
"Xulot, my child. It's not appropriate to say more about the East China Sea prophecy now. It's all over here! Although the elder is seriously ill, he still has quick thoughts. He has only a short time and makes the most decisive decisions. I know the elder's thoughts well.
, this kind of prophecy in the name of God is the most taboo for him..."
"Ah! Immortal elder..."
Hearing this, Shulot was horrified, and then he realized what he was doing.
"grandfather..."
"It doesn't matter! The great elder is dying of illness and often falls into a coma. It is difficult to manage things on weekdays, and he will not summon others. The only people who can see him and talk to him are Kakamazin, me, and Ugel.
That’s all.”
The high priest smiled calmly, recalling the experience of meeting the elder a few days ago, and felt vaguely emotional.
"No matter how immortal the sun is, it will eventually perish one day!...Xulot, my child. Kakamazin has a kind-hearted nature and is very fond of you. He is about to preside over your wedding. Ugel seems stubborn
Foolish, but with hidden wisdom, you are favored by fate... No one will say anything wrong with you, you just need to wait patiently and wait for your opportunity!..."
"Wait patiently?.."
Hearing this, Shulot realized something and listened carefully to his grandfather's instructions.
"Xulot, if the divine revelation you received is true, you can use this prophecy to do this... When everyone's hope is restored and the divine power is in hand, you no longer have to worry..."
The high priest lowered his voice and gave careful instructions.
Shulot looked solemn and nodded slightly. After listening, he had some doubts and asked softly.
"Grandfather, if I do this, where will that leave you and the high priests?"
"Haha, you don't need to worry about me!"
The high priest laughed and shook his head calmly. Then he smiled calmly.
"Because by that time, I must be gone!..."
"Ah! Grandpa..."
The night was deep and the wind was slightly chilly. The candles burned out and died naturally. I couldn't sleep all night, and the ten days passed by in a hurry. Before I knew it, it was the auspicious day at the end of August. His Highness Hulot and Princess Alyssa
wedding ceremony!
The dawn lights up from the east and hymns rise in the temple. The first prelude to the wedding ceremony is the whole city celebrating!
Starting from early morning, all eighty Kalpoli communities in the capital city of the lake held grand celebrations under the guidance of community priests. The priests lit pleasant rosin and laid out free food distributed by the royal family. Twenty
Thousands of people in the capital laughed, sang and danced together all day long!
Today's celebration is a royal wedding, and it is also a day of celebration for young men and women. The young men and women in the capital dance in groups, holding arms intimately, and sing blessing songs! The thunderous joyful songs echo in the capital, praising the world.
The most sacred wedding also praises the most noble person in the alliance!
The morning sun rises in the song and gradually reaches the highest point. The second prelude to the wedding ceremony is the gifts from all the countries!
Envoys from all the states of the alliance and all the ministries of the world, led by the royal warriors, came all the way from outside the capital with boxes of precious gifts. They opened the boxes and displayed the luxurious gifts. Under the eyes of thousands of people in the capital,
Under admiration and attention, we walked all the way from the outer civilian area to the central palace area.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The queue in the Kingdom of the Lake is extremely long. Two thousand guardsmen carry hundreds of boxes of precious tribute gifts of various colors, thousands of brand-new armors and weapons, and
Forty giant bronze beasts were dragged from the north to the Baidi Long Bridge. Under the golden sunlight, the numerous bronze objects shone brilliantly, being extremely gorgeous and eye-catching.
The crowds along the way gathered together and exclaimed loudly in surprise, and the wide streets became narrow. The streets of the capital were lined with straight pines and cypresses, with bright flowers placed under the pines and cypresses, and bright cloaks hanging from the pine branches! This is the tradition of the alliance.
According to custom, flowers symbolize beautiful love, and cloaks represent perfect marriage.
With a calm expression, Bertard led the kingdom's envoys all the way to the center of the palace area, in front of the king's palace. The royal wedding was not held in the towering temple, but in the palace of the woman's father, the king.
.
The envoys from each state stopped outside the king's palace, leaving hundreds of boxes of gifts. Then, the warriors and servants carrying the gifts did not stop, and were led away again by the royal warriors. The envoy representatives from each state followed the instructions.
Friends and relatives entered the palace one by one. They wanted to offer respectful blessings and valuable gifts to the supreme King of Mexica!
As the representative of the Kingdom in the Lake, Bertard was the first to enter the palace. He looked calmly and looked at the arrangements in the king's palace.
The King's Palace is divided into upper and lower floors, and all the windows and curtains are opened to facilitate the envoys who bring gifts and salute the nobles in the palace.
King Avit looked calm, straightened his spine, and sat high on the throne on the second floor of the King's Palace. His Highness Shulot was a little nervous, his eyes slightly straightened, and he sat blankly in the side hall on the left side of the first floor. Princess Alyssa smiled.
Absolutely beautiful, as clear as a lotus, sitting quietly in the side hall on the right side of the first floor.
At first glance, the three of them were all dressed in royal attire, sitting up and down the palace. Their seats were roughly in the shape of a "pin", which symbolized different status levels.
Bertard looked at His Highness on the left calmly, then bowed his head and fell to the ground. He held a wooden box high in his hand and presented the noble gift of the kingdom.
"The kingdom in the lake presents several divine picture albums, hundreds of exotic flowers and plants, a top-quality fire opal, a pigeon's blood ruby, and a pair of jade bracelets!..."
The elder Kakamazin smiled kindly and stood in front of the King's Palace. He took Bertard's congratulatory gift, recited it once, and asked the guards to collect the congratulatory gift and place it in the newlyweds' house.
According to traditional Mexican customs, the part where guests present gifts usually occurs after the marriage ceremony and before the second dinner, when the newlyweds sit side by side at the table. However, this grand royal wedding not only
It is not only a simple wedding, but also an important ceremony that reveals the majesty of the royal family, so the gift-giving process from all countries must be brought to the forefront.
Bertard fell down on the ground and saluted three times before standing up and standing on the left side of the palace. Next, the envoys of the great nobles from all the alliance states went forward in turn, presented valuable gifts that they could get, bowed on the ground three times, and then said goodbye again.
Stand on the left and right sides of the palace. As for ordinary alliance nobles, they are not qualified to enter the palace to give gifts.
"The Huastec Alliance presents a pair of flawless white jade, two foot-high corals, and ten big-eyed pearls!..."
The elder Kakamazin nodded slightly and waved gently. The Huastec envoys bowed respectfully to the ground and stood on the right side. In this kind of wedding ceremony, they naturally would not offer sacrifices as usual.
Various dancers and musicians.
"Otomi Alliance, I present you a pair of white antlers, ten pieces of red fox skin, and ten pounds of black-feathered jade!..."
Thinking of this, Kakamatsu raised his eyebrows slightly. The Otomi people were really poor, and the gifts they presented were all specialties from the North. The colors of the antlers and fox skin were pleasant, and they barely had an auspicious edge. The black-feathered jade
Qian is a psychic substance and can be regarded as a precious religious medicinal material...Kakamazin waved his hand, and the envoy of the Otomi quickly stood up and stood aside in the sun.
"The Mixtec Alliance presents a golden tree, ten silver flowers, and a hundred quetzal feathers!..."
After hearing the end, the envoys in the field all exclaimed in low voices and looked moved. The Mixtec envoy raised his arms and bowed gracefully. The servants brought the beautiful gold and silver flowers and the more precious quetzal.
The feathers of your birds appeared in front of everyone one by one.
These Quetzal feathers are not ordinary feathers. They are the only pair of male Quetzal bird's gorgeous tail feathers that can grow up to 90 centimeters, symbolizing the blessing of the gods. Each emerald-like tail feather is priceless.
If you go to the market, you can at least get back a pound of gold sand!
Kakamazin took a look and nodded with satisfaction. Then, the Mixtec envoy was led to the right and stood under a good location under the sun.
"Zapotec Alliance, I offer you one bag of gems, ten bags of rouge, and twenty bags of various spices!"
The Zapotec Alliance is located in the southern rainforest and produces gems, rouge and spices. Among them, the specialty cochineal dye is the most precious and expensive, and has always been favored by noble ladies.
Kakamazin also nodded and waved, asking the Zapotec envoys and the Mixtec envoys to stand together.
"The Totonac Alliance presents the ancient Olmec pottery pot, which has the blessing of the ancient Grain God! This ancient magic weapon can make couples have a happy marriage and give birth to more children!"
Kakamazin's expression remained unchanged, and he carefully picked up the ancient pottery pot presented by the messenger. The pottery pot was simple in shape, and was polished extremely smooth in many places. A god in the shape of corn was painted and carved on the outer wall, which indeed symbolized the blessing of the God of Grain.
.
"...The cunning Totonac people like to use these indistinguishable antiquities to fill their pockets!"
Kakamazin cursed secretly in his heart, but kept a smile on his face. He raised the ancient clay pot, showed it to everyone for a moment, and then asked the guards to put it away carefully. Then, the Totonak envoy was led by the guards, and met
The Otomi envoys stood together in the sun.
"Tekos Alliance, I present you with ten gold wine glasses, ten obsidian necklaces, and ten water opals!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kakamazin nodded slightly, and the Tekos envoy stood up respectfully and stood cautiously next to him.
The so-called envoys of the Tekos Alliance are actually envoys from the Fire River City and the Colima Tribe. The Colima envoys came this time not only to participate in His Highness's wedding, but also to inquire about the news and take a look at Mo.
Details of the Western Canadian Alliance's Eastern Campaign.
"The northern Mayan city-state offers ten bags of sacred smoke, ten bags of emeralds, and ten pieces of feathered costumes!"
The Mayan businessman Tikallo knelt on the ground and respectfully offered congratulatory gifts. These gifts came from the Mayan business group and were presented in the name of the northern Maya city-state. In fact, Tikallo, as a direct bloodline of the Cocom family, did have Yuku
In the north of Tantan, the territory of the large city-state Tuturxiu is claimed.
Kakamazin waved again, and the Mayan envoys stood aside. At this point, all the foreign envoys had finished presenting their gifts.
Shulot was sitting in the side hall, watching the foreign envoys in different costumes. He suppressed the anxiety and excitement of the wedding and fell into thinking about the current situation.
"...Not only did the envoys from the Tlaxcalans not come, but even the envoys from the Holy City of Cholula did not come!... It seems that the news that the alliance is about to launch an eastern expedition really made the Holy City of Cholula very worried.
Dissatisfaction. And the absence of the alliance’s royal wedding is an expression of this dissatisfaction!..."
The envoys from each country looked at each other, and their expressions changed in the same way. For such an important alliance celebration, even the distant Tecos and Mayans had representatives coming, but the nearby holy city of Cholula did not send an envoy?!
Kakamazin frowned slightly, then regained his composure in an instant. Then, his kind face became solemn, he raised the scepter in his hand high, and sang a speech passionately.
"The gifts from all the countries are over, and the royal family accepts the gifts and thanks!... With the blessing of the Lord God and the blessings of the ancestors, the royal family holds a ceremony!... With the blessing of the Lord God and the ancestors, and in the testimony of the descendants of gods from all countries, the heroic hummingbirds perch
On top of the pure lotus!...The sacred and beautiful marriage is about to come, like the strong root system of the cactus, it will completely connect His Highness Shulot and Princess Alyssa as one, and they will never be separated in this life!"
