Divine smoke curls up, soft jade is warm and fragrant. Gold, silver and precious stones are dazzling, and feather crowns and robes are fluttering. In the pavilion of the sanctuary, many priests and elders are wandering around, meeting the gods, feeling comfortable and not knowing where to go. This kind of indulgent enjoyment is the most
It is intoxicating and consumes all the spirit and will.
The high priest sat solemnly, and shouted sharply, which was like a big stone thrown into the lake, causing a wave of waves. The priests and elders suddenly woke up, pushed away the girls on both sides, sat up straight, and looked at the chief priest.
Hearing this, the priest leader Petel's face darkened, and the gloom flashed away. Then, he put on a smile and asked gently.
"High Priest, why did you say this?"
The high priest looked around and pointed at the nervous priests and elders. He was sure and answered with a smile.
"Haha! Petel, you are an old fox and can hide things from others. But the other elders are not as capable as you! Tell me, what did you negotiate with the king? Did you do it to me?
Chips?"
"...damn it!"
Petel looked at the elders. Those nervous, worried, fearful and uneasy faces were the clearest answer. He cursed secretly, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Dear High Priest, I did go to the North Road and reached an agreement with King Avit. The Holy City of Cholula is willing to join the Mexica Alliance, obey the king's will, and serve the alliance's cause of unifying the world! And the king represents the alliance.
, accept the city of Cholula, allow us to use the teachings of the Tlaxcala people, and retain some autonomy..."
"...The high priests and elders of Cholula City are willing to believe in the supreme god and sacrifice their lives to spread the glory of the Lord God! As for the high priests in the West, they are also the objects of our respect and are above everyone else.
..."
"Oh? The king agrees to accept you?"
The high priest raised his brows and asked in a deep voice.
"Peter, don't beat around the bush. Tell me, what are the specific conditions of the king?... To tell you the truth, I came to the Holy City this time with the instructions of the elders!"
"...The Immortal Sun?...That old immortal!..."
Hearing the elder's name, the old fox Petel trembled in his heart. That man was the final decision-maker in the Mexica Alliance, much better than the king and the high priest. He had no choice but to answer.
"The holy city of Cholula naturally expressed its true sincerity by serving the alliance! First, the city of Cholula held a surrender ceremony to the king and informed all the ministries in the world. Second, it handed over the descendants of Tlaxcala and the nobles.
Call on the people of Tlaxcala to surrender. Third, worship the God of War as the main god and unify faith with the alliance. Fourth, hand over half of the country’s land and half of the villages..."
"Well, surrendering allegiance, handing over enemies, worshiping the God of War, handing over land and population... are indeed in the king's interests."
The high priest pondered for a moment and nodded. He waited for a moment, but Petel stopped. The high priest raised his brows and asked with a sneer.
"There are only so many? It's not like the king to be so lenient."
"...Please wait a moment."
Petel bowed and apologized slightly. Then, he called his personal guards and gave a few instructions. The personal guards left quickly.
The priests and elders in the field looked at each other, without saying a word. The war elder Wezier lowered his eyes and sighed secretly. Next to him, there was an old man with a look of sorrow on his face.
He was somewhat unwilling to give up. Among the people, only the newly returned Quiao was at a loss and puzzled.
Within a moment, a group of family warriors came in a hurry and saluted the family patriarch, Peter.
The old fox nodded and sighed quietly. He glanced at Quiao lightly, then turned to the high priest.
"The eyes of the high priest are indeed like obsidian, capable of penetrating the truth!...The last condition is to present two noble priests and elders for the sacred ceremony of the main god!"
"oh!"
The high priest nodded with satisfaction. Judging from these conditions, the king was mainly wary of him, and had nothing to be wary of his direct grandson Shulot. After confirming these, he felt relieved.
"What? Sacrifice the elder!"
Hearing this, Elder Kuio's expression changed drastically. He just came back from the capital today and didn't know about it at all. And looking at the performances of all the elders...
"Take it!"
With a stern look on his face, Petel reached out and pointed at Kuio. Several family warriors suddenly pounced on him, pressed Elder Kuio to the ground, and subdued him on the spot. Then, the warriors took out ropes, tied Kuio's arms, and tied them both.
Then drag him to the center.
"Peter! How dare you harm me!"
Quiao's eyes were about to burst, and his eyes were suddenly blood red. Just a moment ago, he was puffing away, enjoying the beauty's softness, but now he was tied up tightly like a turkey waiting to be slaughtered. The feeling of this was really infuriating.
Crazy...and even a stupid person knows what happened.
"Quio, the elders have no choice!...While you were away, everyone discussed it and decided that it is the old Yolowa and you!"
There was sincere sadness on Petel's face. He looked at the struggling Quio and sighed unbearably.
"Hey! Don't worry! After you leave, the vacant priests and elders will still belong to your family!"
"Peter! You shameless old fox! If I die, I will take you away!..."
Quio's face turned red and he couldn't get away, so he had to roar with all his strength. He arched on the ground with all his strength, opened his mouth wide, and wanted to bite Petel.
"hehe..."
Seeing this, Peter shook his head and scolded him coldly.
"Quio, you really don't have the decency of an elder at all! Why do you need to make it so embarrassing when your distinguished guest is here? Many priests and elders are also being made fun of!"
After speaking, Petel said no more. He looked at the family warriors and gave a stern order.
"Gag his mouth and drag him down!"
"Old fox, I curse you, die! Die!... Wuwu... Wu!"
Within half a quarter of an hour, one person was permanently missing from the elders' table in front of him. The high priest looked at Petel's behavior with great interest and commented with a smile.
"Old fox, you are still as ruthless as before!"
"Haha! Dear High Priest, I am just doing some secular things to make you laugh!"
Petel shook his head, his expression as usual. He waved his hand and asked the frightened maids to put on new sacred smoke to give everyone some relief.
Soon, new divine smoke rose again. This time the divine smoke was particularly strong, surrounding many elders, like a fairyland on earth. And the people in the fairyland were like gods, going to the gods in the sky.
country.
"High Priest, these conditions are already the greatest sincerity of Cholula City!"
The old fox looked troubled and lowered himself again, showing respect and weakness.
"Please also ask the high priests to leave some insignificant power to the priest families of Cholula..."
"Haha! Insignificant power?"
Hearing this, the high priest burst out laughing, almost choking with laughter.
"Old fox, you surrender to the king and plan for the future, who can you hide it from? It seems that the king is really afraid of me and will not hesitate to accept you rotten trees! ... I just don't know how you will deal with it, so close at hand.
South Route Army Corps?”
"...Shutter, you!..."
Petel's face changed again. He frowned, feeling a little embarrassed for a moment. Today's high priest is too fierce, even more than what the rumors have said, and it really shouldn't be the case! This kind of style probably means that his life span will be short, and his death will be imminent.
So, I have no worries...
"Damn Quio! Get this dying old guy!"
The old fox pursed his lips, sighed secretly, and cursed Kuio a few more times. He hoped that the high priest and the king would conflict, but he never wanted it to happen here and now, with the holy city of Cholula becoming the center of the conflict.
.After all, the army on the South Mexica Road is surrounding the city, and the leader is the grandson of the high priest. The only solution now is to stay low and stay small, and must survive the current hurdle.
After pondering for a long time, Pater took a deep breath and restrained the resentment in his heart. He faced the high priest, bowed respectfully on the ground, paid homage for the first time, and begged.
"Dear High Priest, how can you let go of the elders of the Holy City and let us join the alliance?"
"Haha! Petel, it's not impossible for me to accept Cholula's priest family."
The high priest crossed his legs and received a salute from Peter. At this moment, he felt as if he had drank a glass of ice-sweet honey water in midsummer, which made his whole body feel comfortable. He nodded with a smile and shouted in a deep voice.
"First, give half of the Dingkou that was given to the king to the Southern Route Army!"
"Can!"
Petel nodded decisively. The king only asked for the population to be handed over to the Alliance, and did not stipulate who should be handed over to. Since His Highness Hulot is the heir of the Alliance, naturally it will be the same if it is handed over to him.
"Secondly, Cholula is the second holy city, and Teotihuacan is the first holy city to show it to the world!"
"Can!"
Petel gritted his teeth and nodded again. At this point, those who could bear it for a while would bear it. When the high priest died...
"Third, the priests and elders of Cholula are located under the high priest group. The priest leader is the fifth-level chief priest, and the other elders are the fourth-level chief priest."
"Can!"
"Fourth, hand over the inheritance map for the high priests to copy. Hand over half of the sacred objects and enshrine them in the capital city in the lake."
Hearing this, Petel's heart trembled, and the faces of the other elders also twitched. The inheritance map is extremely important, and half of the sacred objects are even more difficult to part with. But the general trend is here, so we can only wait for the future and find opportunities again.
..
"Can!"
"Well, not bad! You really know the current affairs!"
The high priest's face was radiant, and he did not hide the smile on his face. At this moment, he pressed the old fox step by step and set these harsh conditions. He was very happy and interesting! The corners of his mouth were raised, and his face turned gray.
Peter said with a smile at the end.
"Peter, that's the last one left. Well, among the priests of Cholula, the king asked for two sacrifices, so I will ask for two more!"
The words came out softly, and all the priests and elders turned pale. They looked at each other, and even their fingers couldn't help but tremble!
