Aztec Eternals

Twilight is like blood, flooding the world, like a long river of life gathering, and like a flame that burns up the sky. The New Year's ceremony danced in the river and flames, and the boiling cheers filled the entire capital.

"Go, little Avelot! Bring him my letter!"

The crisp human voice shouted softly, and a young golden eagle suddenly soared up! But in a short time, it reached an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. It spread its wings and flew to its heart's content, bringing the sound of hunting wind, like a king in the sky, scaring away the birds on Lake Texcoco.

The little golden eagle Avilot is three years old this year. The young chick that could be held in the palm of the hand is now a behemoth with a body length of more than half a meter and a wingspan of more than 1.5 meters. Its flexible head and neck are yellow-brown, and its broad wings are dark brown, but there are immature white primary feathers at the wingtips and tail. And at this moment, on its slender eagle legs, there is a small roll of cotton letters tied.

"YoYo!"

Avelot hovered over a thousand meters above the sky, shaking his head triumphantly, and let out a cry of joy that was still immature. Afterwards, the little golden eagle's pupils dilated, his sharp eyes widened, he looked at the girl in white who was looking up on the ground, and shouted "Yo Yo" again.

After a while, it seemed as if it finally understood the girl's expectation. After flying in a circle of nostalgia, it flapped its wings and flew straight to the mountains in the west. The flying speed of the golden eagle can be maintained at least 200 miles per hour, and it only takes less than 4 hours to fly from the capital in the lake to the capital of Chin Cong Chan. It is not afraid of threats along the way, can locate long distances, and is the best messenger of this era!

Of course, the premise for all this to happen is that it can really understand the master's order.

In just two quarters of an hour, Avilot flew to the mountains in the western part of the league. Looking down from a high altitude, the cascading mountains undulate on the surface, the settlements in the mountains rise from cooking smoke, and the stone fortresses are extremely small. Going further west from here, beyond the difficult mountains and forests, is the enfeoffment land of Shulot, the border of the Kingdom of the Lake.

The little golden eagle didn't go further west, the prey here was already abundant enough. It soars freely in the sky. When it sees a running wild wolf, it lowers its altitude and follows it easily, full of eager desire to attack. The wild wolf sensed the looming danger, stopped immediately, and looked up. Afterwards, the wolf howled several times, and several of its kind gathered together, staring vigilantly at the threatening dot in the sky.

Avilot hovered cautiously for a long time, but still gave up on the risky pounce. He continued to search, and saw another half-sized elk running. Such a prey is not too difficult for it. The little golden eagle quickly lowered its altitude, and when it was 100 meters away, it immediately made a fierce pounce. The sound of howling wind came from a high place, and the fierce wings swept away with the pressure of the wind, so violently that the half-sized elk fell down.

The little golden eagle stretched out its sharp claws and tore the neck of its prey vigorously. The bright red flowed out immediately, accompanied by the mournful deer cry. After struggling for a while, the elk became motionless and made no sound. The little golden eagle raised its head triumphantly, and let out a "majestic" cry again.

"YoYo!"

Then, Avilot grabbed the elk and flapped his wings vigorously! It flopped on the ground for a while, trying to take the prey away, but found that it couldn't fly at all. After a while, the little golden eagle resentfully put down the heavy elk, flew to the nearby river, and pounced again!

This time, Aveiro caught a fierce and beautiful purple-red burner fish as a gift for the hostess. It raised its head triumphantly, soared into the sky with a joyous cry, turned around and flew towards the capital city in the lake. The letters tied to its feet are still intact. After flying back and forth in the sky for hundreds of miles, it is about to return smoothly!

"YoYo!."

Under the sky hundreds of miles away, the New Year's Ceremony in Qincongcan King's Capital has just come to an end.

Shulot was wearing a black sacrificial attire and stood at the top of the Yakata Pyramid. He raised the emerald scepter in his hand, faced the setting sun, knelt down before the tens of thousands of residents of the capital, and offered the most sacred fire sacrifice to the burning holy fire.

The first to arrive was a coyote cub, which had been drained of blood in advance, with its head deliberately facing west. In Mexica animal worship, the wolf is a bloody and united animal with innate divinity. The animal image of Shulotel, the god of death, is a black wolf that looks up to the sky and howls.

In the presence of the people of the lake, Shulot threw the divine coyote carcass into the fire, offering it to the departed sun god, while chanting aloud.

"Praise the Sun God, I offer you the coyote! It is the partner of the sun, after sunset, it is heading towards the journey to the abyss! Praise the Lord God! May you take away death and give us a long life!"

After offering the gift, Shulot raised his scepter to signal again, and the boiling cheers sounded instantly. Under the pyramid, the Prepecha people and the Mexica people fell to the ground together, with sincere joy on their faces, and shouted side by side with all their strength. Although the smell of burnt fur lingered in his nostrils, the young king took a deep breath and smiled.

As the king of priests, this is the first time that Shulot has the full power to lead the New Year's sacrifice!

He boldly changed the sacrifices of the New Year's sacrifice according to his family origin and the legend of the alliance. Under his strict requirements, the New Year's Ceremony of the Kingdom of the Lake centered on the main god, integrated different customs of the alliance and the kingdom, and replaced human animals with animal animals!

"Give me enough time, and I can change everything!"

Shulot whispered silently, full of confidence in reshaping civilization. He again took the second offering, a shot elk with its head facing east. In the traditional concept of the Prepeca people, the elk is a symbol of nobility and a pet of the Moon Goddess.

"Praise the Sun God, I offer you an elk! It is an elf under the moon, and when the moon rises, it is on the way to the Kingdom of God! Praise the Lord God! May you bring peace and bestow upon us the beauty after death !"

As the sun sets and the moon rises, there is another burst of warm cheers. In the mythology of the two races, the Moon Goddess possessed different priesthoods of good and evil, so she was erased in the ceremony at this time, leaving only the common afterlife. After the sun and the moon, it is the earth that symbolizes tolerance and vitality.

Shulot finally took a river fish and held it up high with its head facing the ground. In the culture common to all the tribes of Mesoamerica, the fish represented the common people, conceived by the earth and the lakes.

"Praise the Sun God, I offer you the river fish! It is the life of the earth. After the rain falls, it goes to the river of the world! Praise the Lord God! May you bless us and give us a good harvest in the fields!"

"Praise the Lord God, grant a good harvest!"

With all the people looking up, Xiulot threw the river fish into the fire. The most boiling cry sounded at this moment! The people of the Lake District have been plagued by war and famine for nearly two years, and thousands of lives died of hunger. For them, only a good harvest of food is the desire engraved in the bone marrow.

The continuous cheers rose and fell, setting off waves of sound. The New Year's festival in the Lake District is not over until the sun sinks into the sky. Next, is the grand feast of the night. The entire Qin Cong Can City, and even the residents of the entire Feng Kingdom, will gather to celebrate. They celebrated the end of the war, but also a new year of hard-earned peace.

After a hard day, the grand sacrifice finally came to an end. Maintaining the posture of a god, Shulot stepped into the temple at the top of the pyramid. Afterwards, he unloaded the heavy sacrificial clothes, put on the banquet robes, and accompanied by Ugos and Marvillo, he went to the New Year's banquet in the Palace of Winds.

The southern envoy from Zicao County had been waiting outside the Palace of Winds for a long time. The circle of tonight's banquet is very small, limited to the upper echelons of the kingdom. He is not qualified to participate, so he can only wait here.

Xiulot comforted the messenger with a few words, but left surrounded by the senior priests without clearly answering the fief question that the other party carefully probed.

Soon, the young king sat on the throne of the Palace of Winds with a majestic expression. He looked up at the dark sky outside the window, and seemed to hear a familiar and distant cry. The wolves, deer, and fish that had just been sacrificed flashed through his mind one by one, entrusting the situation that he had been pondering for a long time.

"King Tarasco was sacrificed, and the New Year's ceremony in the capital of the lake will definitely shake the world! All the ministries in the world will know the power of the Mexica, and will truly feel the threat of the alliance's conquest. The new year is about to begin , A new journey is starting!"

"To the Union, the Tlaxcalans are the united coyotes. They are closely connected with the ministries around them, and they affect the whole body. To the State, the Chapala Lakes are the strong elk. They are delicious The prey just needs time to hunt and digest. And for me, what is the river fish that is at my fingertips?"

The raging bonfire was bright in the hall, and the king's thoughts flickered in the fire. His brows gradually relaxed, and all the planning plans gathered in his heart, forming a long snake connected head to tail.

Soon, the generals will take their seats one by one and sit according to different groups. The maids also served exquisite food and drinks. The tangy aroma came oncoming, and the relaxed laughter sounded low. A hearty banquet is about to begin!
