"Greetings to you, respected God King! You are as bright as the sun, shining in all directions!..."
"Xulot, you are here. No need to be polite... Come, come and sit!..."
In the large tent of the God King, there is the altar of the main god, with a picture board of the sun, and traces of soot from the sacrifice. Under the altar, there is a large mahogany desk, made of precious and hard dense rosewood.
It is the famous "Kingwood" in later generations. This kind of mahogany will emit a natural fragrance that blends with a touch of divine smoke, making people feel comfortable and relax unconsciously.
The corners of Avitt's mouth were raised, he was very friendly and kind, and he seemed to be smiling uncontrollably. He hugged his legs and sat on a large spread reed mat, with pure gold threads on the mat depicting the ripples of the sun.
The rare cochineal red painted a pale red sun. He stretched out his hand and called for Shulot to come over. Shulot still finished the courtesy respectfully, and then bowed slightly and came closer. And when he came to God
Next to the king, Shulot was stunned.
"Your Majesty the God King...this...only has one mat?..."
"Haha! My son-in-law, don't be rigid...just sit next to me, sit with me!..."
Avitt stretched out his hand and took the frightened Shulot, sitting side by side on the reed mat in the sun. Then, without waiting for Shulot to speak, he smiled and pulled out a letter on leather.
Stamped with the red mark of the royal family, it was handed to Shulot.
"A letter from the capital city, good news that makes people happy!...A month ago, Alyssa gave birth to your pair of children in the capital city of the lake, a strong boy and a lively girl!..."
"What! Alyssa gave birth to twins?! My son and daughter, my children?!..."
Shulot was shocked. He quickly opened the letter and read it carefully. Alyssa should have been pregnant in June last year. Calculating the time, the two of them got tired of being together. From May to August, they were pregnant for several consecutive days.
When she was only three months old, she was neither ashamed nor ashamed. But it was not until mid-April this year that Alyssa gave birth to two children. The pregnancy period was a little over ten months, which was considered an obvious late birth.
Although there are only a few words in the letter, the dangerous nature of this birth can be seen from the use of water by the herbal masters and the new forceps used by the priestesses...
"Blessed by our ancestors! The Spring Festival you held last year has indeed achieved results! The twins are a blessing from the goddess of spring. They are most loved by the twin rain gods and are a good omen for the divine alliance! The backbone of the royal family has grown again! And we
The conquered world also has more heirs of blood inheritance..."
Having said this, Avitt was very happy and smiled from the bottom of his heart. But after laughing, he shook his head again and said seriously.
"The goddess priests have a way to induce divine grace and give birth to twins... But this method is still too dangerous!... From now on, you and Alyssa should use less of the medicines offered by the priestesses... those secret medicines
Medicines are actually not prepared for noble people..."
"O God! Give birth to two children at once, and still give birth late... This is too dangerous! It is too dangerous... Alyssa, my wife... Those medicines from the goddess priest must be used less in the future... No! Not at all.
Use it again…”
Hearing this, Shulot pursed his lips and felt unspeakable guilt. He understood the meaning of Avitt's words. The twins were a blessing from the goddess of spring, and they were the favorite of the twin rain gods, Tlaloc, and they were equal to the perfection of the descendants of gods.
Sacrifice! From the Nahua tribes on the plateau to the Mayan tribes in the jungle, wherever there is belief in the rain god, twin babies will be sacrificed to pray for the continuation of the tribe, good weather, and a good harvest...
Such a sacrificial culture that has lasted for thousands of years has naturally spawned the research on twin pregnancy by Mesoamerican priests. Passed down from generation to generation, today, priests have been able to use "herbal medicine" and "insect medicine" to greatly improve female fertility.
By increasing the probability of giving birth to twins, a small number of pregnant women can be used to stably obtain the most perfect twin sacrifice! As for the potential pregnancy risks, they will naturally be ignored in the face of the respected religious authority. As Avitt said,
These secret pregnancy-promoting drugs are usually not prepared for noble people...
During the month of the Rite of Spring last year, Alyssa took a lot of herbs presented by the female priests. It is said that it can "lead the goddess to bless and give birth to more vitality." Shulot himself also took a lot of it, so that he could do it day and night.
After a month of being upside down, I completely lost control. Now it seems that the secret teachings of these priests are indeed effective, but the physical cost and risk have increased exponentially...
"Hmm...Xu Luote, just be more careful in the future. You and Alyssa don't be impatient, and keep flowing like a stream. You are still young. You can have one child in one or two years, and six or seven in ten years... You have to have more children."
Let’s create heirs to strengthen the bloodline of our royal family!…The world we conquer will eventually be handed over to future generations, who will divide and inherit it!…”
Avitt patted Shulot on the shoulder, and his expression became more intimate. At this moment, he was like an ordinary father-in-law, admonishing his son-in-law earnestly. Then, he put his arms around his son-in-law's shoulders and smiled.
asked.
"By the way, have you thought of anything about the names of these two children?..."
"Ah! What are the names of the two children? Can I choose them?..."
Hearing this, Xiu Luote was slightly startled. The names of royal children involve divinity and inheritance, so they are usually determined by elders with distinguished status and cannot be chosen casually like civilians. The name of the eldest son Xiu Hua was directly determined by Avitt
It has three revered divine meanings: "light", "conquer" and "elf". But this time, Avitt actually took the initiative to seek his opinion and discuss decisions with him? What does this change mean...
"Well...Father-in-law, do you have any ideas about the divinity of children?..."
"Haha! Shulot, I do have some thoughts... These two children were gifts given by the Lord God when we conquered Mixtec Cloud Land in the south! Then they should have the divinity of 'Cloud'... and
Since they are twins and were born before the rainy season, they should also have the divinity of 'Rainfall'!..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh! The divinity of 'Clouds' should be 'Mistran'. And the divinity of 'Yu Luo' is
'Trapisiloa'...um...father-in-law, do you want to give these two children names like you did to Xiuhua?..."
"Of course! Witness the ancestors! These two children are my grandchildren, the sons and daughters of God revered by the alliance! And my inheritance rights will be passed on to them through the same bloodline!..."
"Ah! In this case...there is a name!..."
Shulot smiled and picked up the charcoal. On the King's wooden desk, he drew two complex graphics and text. This is the official name written in Nava text in compliance with the alliance's tradition. Like the previous ones,
Just like a child, this will become their unique pattern and even their seal in the future!
"Blessed by the Lord God and witnessed by the ancestors! The boy born will inherit the divinity of 'Yunzhong' and be named Xo·Mixtitlan·Zotl, Xiuyunzhong..."
"The girl she gave birth to will inherit the divinity of 'Yu Luo' and be named Xo·tlapiciloa·Zotl, Xiu Yuluo..."
"Xiu Yunzhong and Xiu Yuluo, they are Alyssa and I's second son and third daughter. They are the undisputed heirs to our bloodline identity, territorial wealth, and wealth!..."
"Very good! Very good!... As a grandfather, I have also prepared an inherited fiefdom for these two children... Their future territory is in the vast Mixtec clouds that must be conquered!..."
Avitt was very happy to see Xiulote's announcement. The Mexica people do not have a patriarchal system of direct sons, there is no distinction between grandson and grandson, and there is not even these two different words, but only one "grandson". The alliance nobles
Inheritance rights, regardless of whether sons or daughters, all have equal rights. In fact, Avite's inheritance rights were passed down from his mother, Artotostelli II, the eldest daughter of Montezuma I.
The same is true for his two half-brothers, Asiacatel and Tisoke...
"Haha! The entire land in the clouds, the southwest third, is given to my nephew, Montezuma II... As for the east, it belongs to my two grandchildren..."
Avitt was already prepared. He took out a roll of maps and unfolded them on the counter. Then, he stretched out his hand and made a vague stroke, facing the names of the two children on the counter, and he boldly divided the distance between Qianli Yunzhong!
"Witness the Lord God! The vast eastern Mixtec, from the sacred stone city on the plateau to the ancient city of Tututepec on the seaside, a thousand miles from north to south and three hundred miles from east to west... these two-thirds of the territory in the clouds... I will know
