The warm wind in April is a bit hot, and the warrior's military camp is extremely noisy. But amidst the heat and hustle and bustle, there is a slightly cool shade of trees, projecting quietly on the remote camp. The emblem of the main god is erected high, and the temple
The warriors wore wooden helmets and masks, guarding the residences of the priests who accompanied the army. Following the faint smell of herbs, they reached the deepest part of the camp, where they saw the dark curtains and the statue of the goddess with a weird smile.
"Your Majesty, the Priest of the Goddess of Spring, Aquiens, greets you!"
The elderly priestess Aquiins, with a kind smile on her face and an obsidian dagger at her waist, respectfully saluted the king.
Hearing the address of "Your Majesty", Shulot raised his brows and smiled gently.
"Akuits (akuits?) is the 'snake of the goddess of spring' in the myth of Prepecha... Are you a goddess priest from Prepecha?"
"Praise the Lord God! Your Majesty, I am from the Patzcuaro Lake District, and I am one of the first Prepecha priests loyal to the Kingdom. I have been serving the Supreme Lord God in the capital of Qinchongcan for more than eight years.
...
Priestess Aguiins has a calm expression and a smile like a kind old woman. But the sharp blade on her waist, the smell of herbs on her body, and the name "Snake of the Goddess" all indicate her hidden murderous intentions.
"Your Majesty, before this Eastern Expedition, intelligence officer Na Xiu sent people to the temple and recruited several elderly priestesses who were good at medicine. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to serve the great king's army. There are already some in the accompanying army.
Two or three years! When Wang Qi went to the seaside, I was summoned by the captain of the guard again to accompany Wang Qi eastward..."
"Oh? Good at potions? Very good!"
Hearing this, Shulot looked thoughtfully at the captain of the guard next to him. The captain of the guard, Ekart, lowered his head and carefully explained to the king.
"Master, the coastal tribes are located in the lowland jungle and are good at mixing and hiding poisons...Priest Aquiins is a true master of medicine. He can provide an extra layer of guarantee for your safety!"
"Um."
Xiuluo nodded, looked at the elder Aguiins, and asked in a deep voice.
"Dear Potion Master, how did your examination go?"
"Your Majesty, there are some unexpected gains, but they are not dangerous."
The priestess Akuiyinsi extended her hand with kind eyes, but at some point, an ancient "teeth" appeared.
"I searched carefully and found a hollow 'snake tooth' from her mouth. This should be the inheritance of the coastal tribes and can hide poison. However, it is not easy to use the 'snake tooth'. And this one
There is no venom in the 'snake fangs'."
Seeing this ancient "teeth", Shulot felt a slight chill, and thought of the snake priestess's approach and temptation that night. He frowned, with a faint murderous intent looming in his eyes.
"Thank you, Priest Aquiins. Did you find anything else?"
"Your Majesty, I fed her some 'holy water', and while she was half drunk and half awake, I repeatedly asked some questions about the purpose of her trip... In addition, there were some unexpected gains."
"Huh? The purpose of this trip, the unexpected gain?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Priestess Akuiyins smiled kindly and spoke slowly.
"She does not have any ill intentions when she comes here, she just wants to surrender to you. She is afraid of the power of the kingdom, and she also respects you as a powerful person. When this child was a child, her mother was dismembered and sacrificed by her father's wife in front of her.
.She was deeply stimulated, and she longed for powerful things, from mind to body..."
"In front of the 'holy water' prepared by the Plateau Temple, she had no ability to resist, and explained the process of murdering Chief Da Ri. That is, colluding with the chief warrior of Da Ri Chief, and then killing people to seize power..."
"I also asked about other secrets and carefully inspected her body...Tsk, tsk, I can only say that this is really a gift from a man! After peeling off the skin of this prickly cactus fruit,
It is a perfect snake fruit that is juicy and delicious... Your Majesty, if you want to taste it for a long time, you can leave it to me. As long as she is 'taught' for half a year, there will be no messy thoughts left in her mind..."
"...Thank you, Priest Aquiins! I think there is no need to waste precious secret medicine..."
After hearing what the priestess Aguiins said, Shulot was silent for a moment and expressed his gratitude calmly. He knew the "teachings" the other party mentioned, and he also knew the horror of the priests' secret medicine. He had been restraining himself and not going
Crossing such a dangerous line.
"Since the Snake Priestess has no ill intentions, it would be nice to meet her. In fact, her courage and wisdom interest me more than her beauty!"
Hearing this, the elder Priest Aquiins smiled half-heartedly and glanced at the young king. Then, she looked at the captain of the guard, Ekart, who lowered his eyes without saying a word. Priest Aquiins' heart moved.
, he bowed his head deeply and saluted the supreme king.
"I obey you, Your Majesty! I am full of piety and willing to serve you. The delicious 'gift' is in the camp. I have checked it carefully and fed her the comfrey juice prepared for seven days... The Lord God has witnessed! She
She is not pregnant, and it is impossible to become pregnant in the next month."
"..."
Hearing this, Shulot touched his nose, with a rare expression of embarrassment on his face. Priest Aguiins looked up, a look of understanding appeared on his face, and he spoke with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I need to prepare wound medicine. Please forgive me for leaving temporarily... Well, the tent in the far west may need to be prepared all night. If you need it, you can always ask the captain of the guard to come.
Call me...the water snake has removed its sharp teeth and can enjoy its lingering snake body..."
After completing his salute, Priest Aguiins immediately turned around and left, leaving only a classic priestly prayer.
"Praise you, Your Majesty! May you be as happy and strong as the big beetle in the tree!..."
"Eh? Big beetle?...I'm not, I didn't want it!..."
The sun was setting, the curtains were low, and the tent was silent. Hulot stood awkwardly in front of the tent, turning to look at the captain of the guard, Eckardt.
"Eckart..."
Eckart, the captain of the guard, bowed his head and saluted without looking at the king's embarrassment. He just opened the tent and stood respectfully in front of the tent door.
"Master, I'm right outside, guarding you at all times!"
"...You guys!..."
After a few breaths, Shulot shook his head and laughed dumbly. He raised his head, glanced at the crimson sunset, and took a long breath. Then, with steady steps, he strode into the dark tent.
, then put it down, blocking all sight.
There was a moment of silence, with only the king's low words, which could not be heard clearly. But soon, the woman's suppressed crying was heard. Then, the crying became louder and louder, turning into a strong wind and rain, and like the waves of the sea~
