Aztec Eternals

Under Avette's strong suggestion and friendly negotiation, the little golden eagle has a famous name, Avelot. Take a part from each of the two names to form a newly coined word. In Nahuatl, this new word probably means "lake and lightning", or "majesty and death".

Of course, Xiu Luote still likes to call the golden eagle's nickname in private, Avivit.

"Chirp?" Little Aviot, no, Avilot continued to yell curiously twice. It tilted its head, looking at the two faces that were close at hand, looking at it seriously. It knows these two people, one is a good person who feeds himself every day, and the other is a bad person who always wants to touch himself.

The intelligence of golden eagles is similar to that of crows and herons, and they are all at the forefront of the most intelligent birds. When they become adults, their IQ can reach that of a seven-year-old human child. After training, golden eagles can recognize complex human movements, understand short syllable commands, and have a long-term memory.

They usually hover at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, and their eyesight is more than eight times that of humans. At this height, they can recognize hares half a meter long on the ground within two kilometers. They can also hover over specific targets, giving directions to their owners.

Clever crows can distinguish between red lights and roads, and will put nuts on the road at red lights, waiting for cars to crush the shells of the nuts. And parrots that learn tongues can only be regarded as the middle reaches, as for birds with small heads such as quails, emus, and ostriches, they are at the end of the IQ of birds.

"Should we give it a surname?" Shulot looked at the fluffy little golden eagle tenderly, feeling that it could accompany him for a long time.

"Surname? You mean the name of the family?" Avet thought for a while.

"We Mexica people have only really developed for a hundred years, and we don't have a particularly fixed family name. Usually, the names of the children of noble families will come from great ancestors or gods in mythology, and then add various titles .And commoners get their names from everyday life, as well as famous warriors on the battlefield.”

"For example, the full name of the grandfather Montezuma I was Montezuma Ilvikamina, and the full name of the grandfather's brother, great-uncle Trakaeler was Veve Tracaeler, Veve It means honorable elder. If you really want to find a fixed surname, you can choose the name of a hero as your surname, such as Montezuma."

"However, heroes themselves don't need family names! Because it's not the family that honors them, but they honor the family! Their names can be used as other people's surnames, such as Avette, such as Xiulot."

Speaking of this, Avit laughed.

Xiuluo nodded. At this time, the Mexica society did not have a particularly clear family name system and family inheritance law. The name is usually used as the expectation of the elders, and people with high status will have many suffixes. Repeated names are followed by "younger or older" as identification. For example, Montezuma II was Montezuma Sokoyotsin, Sokoyotsin, "young child".

In the later New Spain, in order to stabilize the distant rule, the King of Spain canonized the descendants of Montezuma as the Count of Montezuma. These surrendered royal families have since taken the name of de Montezuma.

Female offspring also have the right to inherit property and aristocratic status. For example, Avit's scepter and family warriors were inherited from his mother, Atotostelli II. The daughter of Montezuma I, she succeeded her father as tribal leader, as well as part of her wealth and military power.

The two continued to look at little Avelot and chat, the little white and soft pet really made people feel happy.

"Where did Acap go? I didn't see him."

"Hearing that Kechar invited the ancestor, he immediately went to Teotihuacan to discuss with the chief priest."

Aviot continued to tease little Avelot. He quickly swung his finger in front of the little golden eagle, and the little golden eagle's eyes followed him flickeringly. The finger speed became faster and faster, and the little Avelot's eyes turned into lightning.

"Has the Troll Legion in Atotonilco responded? The 16,000 warriors and 20,000 militia there are the only heavy troops that threaten us."

Shulot stretched out his hand and pressed Avit's finger. He was a little worried that little Avilot would be spoiled. But with the eagle's vision and eye structure, these shakings are actually a piece of cake for it.

"Uncle Troll replied that he would not interfere with the internal succession of the Tenochtitlan line of the royal family. However, his army has shrunk back slightly, and has now broken away from contact with the Tlaxcalans. Although he is staying It didn’t move in Atotonil Cobang, but it only takes two weeks to move back to the capital. He should have known that the ancestors ended their seclusion, and must have sent an envoy now.”

"By the way, Troll Nesawal is my uncle and the uncle of Texcoco Prince Bilil Nesawal. The word Bilil means 'Prince' and Nesawal means 'Forbidden' Food'. Texcoco, a city-state that has been passed down for many years, has a formally inherited family name, Nezaval.

Since the death of the poet King Coyote Nezawar. We of the Tenochtitlan family have been trying to annex Texcoco completely. However, although Prince Billil is only eighteen years old, he is not simple, and his wrist is very flexible. Although he handed over 14,000 warriors from Texcoco, 8,000 of them were in the hands of Troll, maintaining the independence and influence of the Texcoco line. "

"Now, as soon as he heard that I replaced Tisok, he immediately sent people to serve him and proposed marriage to my eldest daughter."

Having said that, Avette looked at Shulot meaningfully.

Shulot was silent for a moment. Afterwards, the boy's eyes showed sincerity and firmness.

"Avit, I understand what you mean. I swear to God, I will cherish my future wife, give my sincerity, care for and tolerate with tenderness, and never let the complicated power struggle hurt her!"

Looking into the boy's gaze, Avit nodded slowly.

"I believe in your character and ability. That's why I choose you."

There was a moment of silence between the two. Avette changed the topic, touched the little Avelot who was shaking left and right, and asked with a smile: "Is this an eagle or a female eagle?"

Xiulot also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Actually, I'm also curious about this question, but I just can't see it."

The two then turned little Avelot around, pressed him lightly, and checked carefully. However, there is no obvious physiological difference between male and female golden eagles, and it is indeed impossible to detect them. The little Avelot resisted desperately on the cotton cloth, flapped its wings and struggled, calling out "chirp", trying to escape from the "claw".

After a while, the two of them looked at each other, and the two future eagles couldn't tell the male from the female.

"When it grows up, if it's a female eagle, it should be much bigger and have longer claws." After thinking for a long time, Shulot recalled some common sense about birds.

"Oh, let's see later." Avet smiled slightly, and there was a deeper meaning in the smile.

The two briefly discussed the arrangements for the next siege and the situation of the camp.

"Avit, are you going to disband the gathered city-state legion?" Shulot asked seriously.

"I do have this plan." Avette nodded.

"We now have 2,000 aristocratic battle groups, 27,000 direct subordinates, plus the remnants of Casal you brought back, that is 30,000 direct subordinates, enough to besiege the city of Hilotepec. By the way, Casal has sent I am loyal, but I am not going to use him for the time being. Let him idle for a while and polish it for a while."

"The next thing about the king's capital will not be done by the army. The local city-state legions are not suitable for bringing into the capital, which will damage the majesty of the royal family. I have communicated with the city-state leaders many times. I figured it out. It's time to disband the 25,000 city-state legions from the seven states. I also want to disband at least 30,000 militiamen to fulfill my original promise."

"In the past two days, I will reward the city-state legions again, and I will also supplement the number of warriors in the Teotihuacan legion. Afterwards, the Holy City Legion can return first and return to Teotihuacan to wait for news, high priest The well-informed people are no worse than me. And along the waterway in the lake, the holy city is only three or four days away from the capital."

Avit decides the future actions of the army. His face is calm and serious, and the Quds Legion is an effective reserve force.

Xiulot also nodded in agreement. The problem of the capital is a political problem, not a military one. Waiting for Gilliam to come back, Wang Qi can officially go south.

The two briefly discussed their preparations for going south, and Xiulot was ready to leave. He's off to make some presents for the Immortal Trakaelel. Under Avelot's strong request and repeated assurances, the teenager finally left little Avelot in the care of his friends for the time being.

Seeing the back of the "good guy" leaving, little Avelot poked his head out, and asked softly in doubt, "Chirp? Chirp?" Then, its voice changed into an anxious loud call "Tweet!" It was the "bad guy" who kept approaching, and Avette looked at it with a smile.
