Chapter 977 The famous painting in the epic, The Sun and the Fox Wolf
"Witness the Lord God! In the Lake Kingdom, the person responsible for the compilation of the kingdom's epic is the chief minister, the chief priest of the kingdom, the fifth-level chief priest, the sage Jatiri..."
The night was deep, and the dawn was quietly hidden. The long conversation under the moonlit night continued on the hill. Shulot lowered his head slightly, his thoughts were floating, and he was silent.
The position of the fifth-level suzerain priest of Sage Jatiri is an internal position in the kingdom, which comes from his canonization and has not been approved by the high priests of the royal capital. And he promoted Sage Jatiri to the fifth-level suzerain priest.
, that is, in fact, a separate theocratic center was established in the kingdom to secretly confront the high priests in the capital.
"Pap, since you are on the seaside, sitting in the Olmec Holy City, compiling the epic of the ancestors...then your position should be only one level lower than Sage Jatiri, as the fourth-level chief priest!...that is,
Say, Papu, in the seaside land, your priesthood is only behind the fourth-level seaside chief priest, the head of the Inquisition, and the priest Yin Cui!..."
After thinking for a moment, Shulot smiled. He patted Pappu's shoulder heavily and made a generous promise.
"The fourth-level chief priest, the second person in the seaside priesthood, is in charge of the compilation of epics and governs the ancient holy city of Olmec! How about it, Papu, I didn't treat you badly, did I? ... As long as you work hard and compile the various epics
The ancestral epic of the same origin can leave an immortal and shining name in the history of the kingdom! As for your helpers...the surrendered priests and sages from various coastal tribes, I can let you select thirty people first and bring them under your command.
!…”
"Ah! The fourth-level chief priest, the second person in the seaside priest group?!"
Upon hearing such a lofty position, General Pap immediately opened his eyes and even breathed heavily. But soon, he realized that this nominally fourth-level chief priest was actually just a noble and fictitious position.
He governs the Olmec Holy City Diocese, which is currently just an ancient ruins and does not have many tribal members at all. He does not have temple guards or any reliable warriors in his hands. What's more, in the kingdom's priest system, he is a new member.
The guy who surrendered has no foundation at all... In other words, this so-called high position of chief priest is just making people jealous!...
"Your Highness... Your Highness... praise the Lord God! Thank you for your generous reward. I, Papu, will definitely compile the Olmec ancestral epic for you!"
General Papu lowered his head in silence, thought for a long time, then bowed respectfully to the ground and kowtowed twice. Then, he raised his head, with prayer and a rare clarity in his eyes.
"It's just that your humble servant Pappu has a small request..."
"Well, request? Pap, what else do you want, just ask it? As a talent that I value, I will never be stingy with property, slaves and beauties!..."
"Uh... Your Highness, I only need a little property and a few servants. Meiji can have two more, but it's too much to bear... As for my little request..."
General Pappu gritted his teeth, looked at His Highness's calm face, and spoke in a low voice.
"Witness the Lord God! Please lower me to one level... With my qualifications, I am definitely not qualified to be the fourth-level chief priest... Please let me be the third-level chief priest!..."
"Besides... before I compile the epic for you, please allow me to take the tribal warriors to Hidden Snake City... I have long been in contact with the gods in Hidden Snake City, and I promised to transport all their belongings and belongings to them.
Go out of the city...Your Highness, please give me ten days, and I will present you with the solid Hidden Snake City before the peak of the rainy season!..."
Hearing these two so-called "requests", Shulot raised his eyebrows. He narrowed his eyes and looked at General Pappu for a while before asking in a deep voice.
"Papu, don't make so many detours!...The Lord God witnesses! You want to lower your position and make contributions. What do you want? Speak out!..."
"The Lord God witnesses! Your Highness, I..."
General Papu hesitated for a moment, but then he was cruel. He lay on the dirt, with his back to the bonfire, and did not dare to look at the expression on Xilot's face. He just gritted his teeth and begged frankly.
"Your Highness! I want real power to be able to hold it in my hands and protect my power!...I know that with my status as a defector all the way, it is actually difficult for me to be known to the public on this seaside land of Totonac.
It will be difficult to truly gain a foothold if you accept it with the priests!…”
"O wise king! I am willing to use my talents for you to compile the epic of my ancestors... and after the epic is compiled, I am willing to join the kingdom's army to conquer the Mayan coast in the east for you... As for when everything is completed, I will only
I hope that there will be a reliable foothold on the Mayan Coast in the east, with real security. This is my little wish!…”
"Real power? A reliable foothold, effectively guarded security?...Pap, you don't want to be my close minister...but you want to control an army, sit in one place, and even want a city-state as a fiefdom?!..."
"Your Majesty, Your Highness! I...I dare not ask for a city-state fiefdom or become a prince of the kingdom...but it is indeed my foolish wish to conquer the border for you and defend one side..."
Hearing this, Shulot lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time. In this era, the future pursued by heroes from all over the world has never been about fame and wealth, promotion and wealth, nor writing books and biographies, but being famous in history.
The army truly controls a country! As for the king, it is necessary to drive the heroes of the world to expand the territory as much as possible...
There was silence on the hillock. Papu lay prone on the ground, burying his forehead deeply in the soil, not daring to breathe. After a while, until the bright moon set over the western mountain and the eastern sky lit up with dawn, Xiulote was faint.
He sighed and nodded slightly.
"The Lord God witnesses! Go, Pappu! Before the peak of the rainy season arrives, I want to see the Lord God's flag flying on the top of the Hidden Snake City!..."
"And as long as you make enough contributions to the kingdom and open up enough territory!...The vast land of Maya will definitely have a place for you to establish...This is not only my promise to you, but also to all the generals.
A promise…a king’s promise!…”
"Ah! Praise the Lord God! Praise you! Under the wise, kind and majestic God of Death!..."
The morning sun gradually rises, and the light comes from the east. The shadows of the mountains are cast to the west, and the black wolf's royal flag faces the rising sun. Under the shining royal flag, there is a standing king. His shadow is very long, and his face is
It was shrouded in twilight, making people think of the golden sun. At the feet of the king, there was a kneeling general. He clung to the ground, his head submerged in his gray-black figure. The prostrate posture was as gray as
