A gentle breeze blew in the sky, and the clouds dispersed slightly, revealing the sun setting in the west. Looking from the towering Chief Palace, the silent sunset gave off brilliant brilliance, slowly falling behind the mountains in the west. And the shadows of dusk,
It was surrounded from three sides, like endless waves.
"Sunrise... spring mist... sunset... dusk... it's getting dark..."
The elder lay quietly on the bed, looking at the western sky. The redness on his face gradually dissipated, and the look in his eyes was like a candle in the wind, crumbling. The elder Kakamatsu knelt in front of his bed,
Watching my father, who had been in awe of me all his life, decline unstoppably, I couldn't help but lower my head and shed tears.
"Kakamazin..."
"Dear elder, I am here!"
Kakamazin raised his gray head, looked at his silver-haired father, and listened to his teachings for the last time.
"After I leave, according to tradition, you will succeed the position of chief minister. However, unlike me, you must keep a low profile and restrain yourself, do not participate in the internal affairs of the alliance, and do not associate with too many nobles..."
The elder stretched out his hand and stroked Kakamazin's head. He looked at the kind-hearted eldest son with a smile on his face.
"Of course, I am assured of your temperament."
"Dear elder, follow your teachings!"
"The future situation of the alliance is nothing more than the compromise between divine power and royal power, the king's conquests and reforms, and much later..."
The elder pondered for a while, wanting to say something and leave some arrangements. But when he saw his equally old son, he still sighed and said no more.
"Jaguars hunt in the forest, eagles fight in the sky, and the kingship of Mexica is always passed down in blood and fire. That unique child will always pass the final hurdle before he can be considered the true king.
Just let it go~"
The elder lowered his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand, and took out a paper document from under the bed. It was marked with pictures and words, and his jade seal was also engraved on it.
"Keep this inheritance document for now and keep it carefully...Avit has always respected you. As long as you don't interfere in the alliance's government affairs, you can enjoy peace...Don't take it away before Avitt goes to the Kingdom of God."
Take it out. And if...you take the documents and hand them over to Xiulote in person. You are the witness of his wedding, and with the documents I left behind, he will always be a guest of honor..."
"Ah?! Dear elder..."
Kakamazin's old eyes widened. He looked at the contents of the document and was actually a little surprised.
"Well, apart from this, there are no other arrangements..."
There was a touch of warmth on the elder's face. Such emotions rarely appeared on him. He carefully thought about the arrangements behind him, and then looked at the shadow next to him.
"Chevali, you have been following me since childhood, right?"
"Yes, elder, I have been following you since I was fifteen years old, and it has been twenty-eight years now."
The shadow bowed his head in greeting, and deep sadness also appeared in his always sculpture-like expression.
"Twenty-eight years...At that time, I was exactly sixty-four years old..."
There was a hint of trance in the elder's eyes. Many memories came to his mind, carrying the weight of time and vicissitudes, which made people a little confused. After a while, he shook his head and smiled slightly.
"I can't remember clearly. I have lived too long... Chevali, after I leave, you can just follow Kakamazin! There is no need to do anything else, just enjoy the wealth and wealth. These last few days
Years, I have aged terribly, thanks to you..."
"...Senior citizens..."
Chevali pursed his lips, stared at the elder's face, and bowed low. His face was once again as stiff as a sculpture, as if there was a heart as solid as ironwood hidden in his body.
"It's almost time!"
The elder felt the changes in his body, looked at his son beside him, and smiled gently.
"Kaka, I'm leaving, please call me father."
"Yes, respected...father."
Kakamazin bowed his head in tears with a sad face.
The elder smiled and nodded, touched Kakamazin's forehead again, and then retracted his skinny old hand. This simple action seemed to exhaust all his strength. Next, he just stared quietly.
The dim sunset sets, slowly from the dusk of evening to the night of the deep sea.
"In my life, the alliance was established under my witness, the gods rose from my hands, the king ascended the throne under my declaration, and the alliance has become the trend to dominate the world... I have no regrets in this life!"
The elder smiled, slowly closed his eyes, and murmured softly.
"Brother, I'm here... My position on the family's sacred tree will be before yours..."
The last glimmer of light disappeared from the sky. The deep darkness came like a sea, completely submerging the towering chief palace. At this moment, eternal sleep enveloped the elder, and the immortal sun shone for ninety-two years.
After that, it finally set!...
"...Ah! Wuwuwu..."
A moment of deathly silence witnessed the arrival of death. Soon, heartfelt cries rang out in the chief's palace. A dozen elders' guards, with tears on their faces and holding torches, rushed to various parts of the capital to save the lives of the deceased.
Sunset's plea was conveyed to many elders and nobles!
"Father..."
Kakamazin lay on the bed, bursting into tears and sobbing.
"Senior citizens..."
Shadow Chevali bit his lip until it bled. He knelt down on the cold ground, kowtowed heavily to the elder's body with closed eyes. Then, with a look of death on his face, he slowly put down the clay pot,
Take out the dagger from your waist.
"Since I am a shadow, I no longer have a self... Elder, this is the only time I disobey your order..."
Chevali's face showed sadness, and then returned to calm. He raised his dagger, aimed at the powerful beating heart, and stabbed slowly but firmly.
"Well..."
An extremely painful groan came from the shadow's mouth. Bright red rushed out of the chest, and the heart burst instantly. In just a few breaths, before Kakamazin could react, the shadow fell on the elder's body.
Next, kill yourself!
He took the elder's many secrets and the secret of the high priest's death, and followed the elder forever to the red kingdom.
"The immortal sun has set! Darkness is coming like the deep sea, and the shadow of the sun is about to leave the world..."
The cries echoed in the palace and never stopped for a long time. Before long, the wails sounded from all directions in the capital, like the precursor of a shower, carrying the mournful sound of wind and turning into sad thunder. Without the suppression of the sun,
Where will the powerful Mexican Alliance go? No one knows the answer at this time, and there is no answer. Everything will shed tears of the times in the vicissitudes of time~
