The moon sets and the sun rises. After a stormy night, the clouds disperse and the wind clears. The morning sun shines in the capital city on the lake, and the pious morning prayers are sung in the wind. The people of the capital experienced yesterday's wedding and witnessed many gods.
The prayers this morning became more pious, and the rolling sound waves shook the sky, like thunder surrounding them.
When Shulot woke up to the sound of prayer, he felt aches all over his body and his shoulders were burning. He felt the warmth beside him, turned around, and saw his sleeping wife at a glance. Alyssa was like a cat.
She was curled up like that, with tears on her face, and she was holding his arm tightly in her hands.
The young man gently bowed his head and kissed "Mao'er" lightly. The cat twitched its nose, wrinkled its pretty face, and murmured unconsciously. The young man listened for a while, but only vaguely heard something.
Vague words.
"Well... don't... bad brother..."
Shulot smiled and touched Alyssa's cheek. Then, he carefully pulled out his arm and got out of bed.
Naxiu was standing outside and had already prepared breakfast. The cold female warrior looked calm and respectfully greeted His Highness, but her eyes were inexplicably a little evasive.
Shulot had a simple breakfast, stretched out his muscles, and then brought some snacks back to the back room to wait for Alyssa to wake up.
It wasn't until the sun rose into the sky that the two of them walked out of the wedding room together with their faces flushed. Shulot took his wife on his arm and went to visit his grandfather's house first.
The high priest sat cross-legged in the room, with a smile in his eyes and a gentle expression, but he seemed a little older. He first took out the obsidian necklace passed down by his family as a gift to Alyssa. Then, he pondered for a while and solemnly warned.
"Xulot, Alyssa... As husband and wife, you should support each other and advance and retreat together, like beans entwining corn, regardless of each other. Your marriage is a connection between the two royal families, and it is not only about the two.
Personal happiness is more related to the stability of the entire alliance!..."
"Xulot, my child, you must always be respectful to the king. If you encounter any difficulties, you must discuss it with your wife and don't hide anything. Alyssa, please always stand by Shulot's side.
By his side, he supported his career and maintained the trust between him and the king... As long as the two royal families are close, there will be no gap for the powerful Mexica alliance. The sun of the alliance will gradually alternate, and the future of the entire world will eventually be
It's in your hands!..."
After listening to their grandfather's instructions, Shulot and Alyssa looked at each other and held hands in tacit understanding. Then, they both lowered their heads at the same time and saluted the elders in front of them.
"Dear grandfather, thank you for your entrustment and follow your will!"
Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, the high priest smiled slightly and nodded. He smiled and said a few words before giving instructions in a deep voice.
"God bless you! I have nothing to do here. You go and see the king!"
"The Lord God bless you! May you be as evergreen as pines and cypresses!"
Hulot took Alyssa, bowed respectfully, and then left the house. Then, the two of them hurriedly headed to the king's palace, escorted by the imperial guards.
The king's palace was bright and clear, with no one else around. Avitt, wearing a gorgeous royal robe and a quetzal bird's feather crown, was waiting alone on the throne.
Seeing the two of them entering the palace side by side to salute, a smile appeared on Avitt's face. He smiled and looked at his daughter for a while, then lowered his eyes inexplicably. Sad emotions surged in his heart, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, he
He raised his head again with a gentle smile.
"Come, sit closer."
Avitt waved and asked the two of them to sit close to each other.
Alyssa blinked, came to her father's side, hugged his arm, and shook her hard.
"Father, did you drink too much last night? Let me give you some sobering potion... My daughter misses you very much... I was very busy and tired at yesterday's wedding, and I couldn't even talk to you.
..”
"It doesn't matter. I drank your wedding wine yesterday, and my father is only happy."
Facing his coquettish daughter, Avitt's eyes were gentle, not as harsh as the king at all. He smiled and chatted for a few words, until he looked at Shulot, his expression became solemn.
"Xulot, my child."
Avitt's eyes were a little complicated. He looked at his student, now son-in-law, and thought for a while before speaking in a deep voice.
"After the wedding, Alyssa will go to the kingdom with you and live in Qincongcan City. She has hundreds of maids and servants and five hundred family warriors. You have to make all arrangements!"
"Well?"
Hearing this, Alyssa blinked. Her daily life is actually relatively simple, and she never thought that she would need so many attendants.
"Yes. Please don't worry!"
Shulot held his wife's hand and nodded. He understood what Avitt meant, which was the distribution of power in the kingdom.
"I will arrange these warriors, maids, and servants. In the kingdom, Alyssa can manage many things, and she also needs help."
Hearing this, Avitt nodded slightly. He looked at his daughter lovingly before asking again.
"Alyssa, what do you want to do in the future?"
"Father... I want to stay with Shulot, take care of him, and help him take care of his family."
Alyssa leaned on her lover's shoulder, blinking her eyes gently, as if they were glowing.
"anything else?"
"Well... I like plants and flowers. I want to continue studying pharmacy. That way, if someone close to me gets sick, I can help..."
"Yeah. Good daughter..."
Avitt reached out and rubbed his daughter's hair. Then he looked at his son-in-law calmly.
"Xulot, what are you going to let Alyssa manage when you return to the kingdom?"
Shulot thought for a moment, looked into his wife's deer-like pure eyes, and answered with a smile.
"Alyssa has brought many attendants, who can help me manage the gem trade in the kingdom. She can also help me deal with matters in the Palace of Wind... In the long run, I plan to build a new medical clinic in the kingdom, led by Alyssa.
Shah is in full charge of researching trauma, disease, medicine and treatment. Among the Kingdom Priests, a branch of medical priests will be added to absorb herbal priests and doctors. In Shenwei University, there will also be new medical courses to deal with various human diseases.
a disease or pathology.”
"Medical institute? Medical priest? Medicine...the knowledge of sacrifices and medicines?"
Hearing this, Avitt raised his eyebrows slightly. The Mexica Alliance advocates sacrifice, and high-level priests often practice it, and have a deep study of human anatomy. In the inheritance of the priests, there are special paintings that record the different positions of human organs.
The blood supply function of the heart, and how to cut blood vessels to avoid blood splashing... And the research of pharmacy, relying on various magical plants and animals in tropical America, can achieve anesthesia, hallucination, sedation, anti-inflammation... etc.
A different effect.
In the language of the Alliance, medicine means sacrifices and potions, plus the treatment of trauma. This knowledge is not spread among the people, and is usually monopolized by high-ranking priests as a symbol of mastery of divine power.
"Yes. I have some medical revelations, which are quite complex and difficult. I want Alyssa to help me sort them out comprehensively..."
Shulot thought for a while and then added.
"In the near future, the Medical Institute will be one of the most important institutions in the kingdom. A large number of medical priests will go to the army to treat soldiers' injuries and reduce the casualties of the army. Medical places will also be opened in the city to provide
Whether it is a medical clinic or a medical priest, I will leave it under the jurisdiction of Alyssa."
Having said this, Shulot was determined and calm. He was not joking when he said that he values medicine and wants to make the Institute of Medicine the most important institution.
The footsteps of European colonists are approaching day by day, and the threat of diseases from the Old World is also imminent. Europe is thousands of miles apart, and in this era, the ability to project is extremely limited. With the current military strength of the Alliance, it is not afraid of hundreds of European armies. It is truly terrifying.
Yes, they are infectious diseases from the Old World, all kinds of tragic and terrible plagues.
Smallpox, measles, plague, typhoid, cholera, diphtheria, mumps... Each disease can take away tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of lives! And in
In tropical rainforests, there will also be acute malaria and yellow fever from Africa, which will forever change the ecology of the rainforest.
All of this requires organized research by the American Empire to find countermeasures. Shulot has long planned to build a huge medical institute to conduct medical research across the ages. He will concentrate the kingdom's resources and spare no effort in manpower and material resources.
, paving the way for the development of medicine.
For this reason, the Institute of Medicine will also combine with divine power to reduce all obstacles as much as possible. When the plague strikes and medicine actually works, the entire medical institution will be cast in a sacred aura, and the person in charge will definitely be deified...
"Only by handing over the medical clinic to Alyssa can I rest assured..."
Shulot was thinking in his heart and his eyes moved slightly. After a few breaths, he smiled calmly and held his wife's hand tightly.
Avitt's expression changed, and he nodded slowly. Rescue warriors, treat nobles, medicine can gain people's hearts, and there won't be too much danger. He looked at his daughter again.
"Alyssa, my daughter, will you?"
Alyssa's eyebrows were curved and she was smiling. She held her husband's arm and nodded vigorously.
"Well, father, I am willing. What Shulot said is all for my own good. I like these too..."
"...Why."
Seeing his daughter's naivety, Avitt lowered his eyes. He wanted to give some more advice, but he lost interest in talking.
"Well, that's it! The ancestors will bless you!"
"Ancestral blessings!"
Shulot held Alyssa's hand and bowed to his father-in-law to leave. When he turned around and left, there was suddenly another familiar call.
"Shulote!"
"teacher?"
Shulot turned his head and looked at the main hall behind him.
At some point, Avitt stood up and left the cold throne. He took a few steps forward and came to Shulot. He looked at the student who was taller than him, was silent for a while, and finally said only one sentence.
"My daughter will be left to you...be kind to her..."
