Aztec Eternals

Chapter 231 Letter and Promise

The brilliant morning sun rises from the sky, and the morning light floats like golden threads, gathering into morning glows. Shulot and Avit stood side by side, the burning red sun was reflected in the pupils, and the distant pride was stirring in the chest. The two kings did not say goodbye to each other until the sky became clear and the sun could not be seen directly.

Xiulot returned to the big tent. He summoned the senior scout Nekali, asked in a low voice about last night's progress, and then nodded in satisfaction to let the other party prepare for the birth. Then, the boy waved his hand and told Bertard to rest first, then took out a roll of delicate cotton cloth from his arms, and unfolded it carefully.

Borrowing the sunlight from the zenith, Shulot looked expectantly, and a section of crooked handwriting came into his eyes, with stick figures mixed in between the sections.

".Sholot, I haven't seen you for a year! You know, I miss you so much. This is how I miss you"

Xiulot looked carefully, and at the end of the paragraph, he drew a simple villain, sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, with a few red roses in front of him. The boy lost his mind for a moment, then eagerly continued reading.

"...Little Avelot has grown up, half my size! It is not afraid of Xiaoqing now. It can fly very fast and bring my thoughts to you. It can fly very high High, until it's as far away as you. But, after flying, it always comes back to me. You'll come back too, right?"

Shulot blinked. He looked at the little bird in the stick figure, beside it was a white cloud, and below it was a little snake with its head up. The thoughts flooded into his heart like a tide.

".I am now a qualified pharmacist! I can memorize the characteristics of hundreds of herbs, I can make many potions for healing, and I can also make happy holy water. My father said that I am the spirit of plants and trees, and I said 'No, I am the elf of Shulot.'. Well, my father suddenly became unhappy."

Seeing this, Xiulot laughed out loud, with warmth flowing in his heart. Behind this paragraph is a small hand with a green herb in it. When he touched the painting at the end of the paragraph, it was as if he was holding a girl's catkin, with a gentle and slender touch.

"...I grew up a bit, and the maids said I was beautiful, like a beautiful white flower. They also said that my body would smell like a flower, but I couldn't smell it myself. Well, it's true Is it? Shulot, would you like to smell me and tell me the answer."

The boy's heart fluttered with a "bang", and he continued to read, listening to the girl's voice.

"Okay, let's draw a flower, and then draw a hummingbird. I am a little flower, waiting for you. I want to turn you into a hummingbird, and I will fly very fast, until it reaches me. If a hummingbird lands in a flower, I'll wrap him up and he'll come into my heart

I will also feed him sweet dew, very sweet kind. Well, if you don't believe me, you can come and kiss me.

I also want to look into his eyes, from day to night, like the stars in the sky"

Shulot forgot to breathe. A strong desire surged in his chest, even making his heart palpitate. He looked at the girl's painting and imagined what she would look like. At this moment, he wanted to turn into an eagle and fly back to the capital in the lake, and he wanted to hug her into his arms and never let go...

After a long time, the boy pursed his lips and read the final epilogue.

".Sholot, I heard a lot about you in the capital. Everyone admired you. I am very happy, but I am also worried that the battlefield is very dangerous. You and my father must be well! You are me in this world, Two people I love the most

My father once asked me a dreadful question before the expedition. 'If one of Xiulot and I died on the battlefield, who would you choose? '. I was very scared, very scared. I told my father, 'If the gods must take away a person, I will choose to sacrifice myself'. My father was silent for a long time. He promised me that he would be fine. Shulot , you have to promise me too"

The letter ends with two samurai figurines, one taller holding a weapon in his left hand and the other shorter holding a weapon in his right hand. And among them, there is another stick figure. She clasped a samurai's hand in each hand, and then, a broad smile appeared on her face.

Xiulot was silent for a long time. He stared at the painting at the end, stared at the smile of the villain, and missed the distant people. After a long time, he carefully rolled up the letter again and placed it close to his heart. Then, he touched a soft sachet. The boy sniffed the sachet, which contained a faint floral fragrance. He opened it carefully, but saw a bunch of hair inside.

Xiulot was stunned, slowly lowered his head, and pressed the sachet tightly to his face. After a while, he murmured his promise.

"Yes. You are the scented flower. I promise you will be with Arvette. All right."

The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, and spring flowers are blooming in the fields of the Lake District. The promise of the young king will also be accompanied by flowers, falling in the long river of time~

At the same moment, not far away, it is on the south wall of Chin Tsung Can City.

"This is the letter from His Majesty Mexica?"

Huitu Puap stood in a corner beside the attic on the city wall, surrounded by only a few trusted warriors and militiamen. He lifted the white paper above his head, and under the light of the rising sun, he carefully examined it over and over again.

"Old man Qi, what is written on it?!"

Puap stared blankly for a long time, his eyes widened, and he shouted in a low voice in confusion. He stared at the square characters on it, his head was as big as a bucket, as if facing the divine script of a temple priest.

"My lord, that's a good question! How can I, a militiaman, understand the Mexica divine writing?"

The old militiaman Chihuaco smiled, avoided Puap's fist, and then leaned forward and said in a low voice.

"Master, the nobleman who met last night told me. Look at this corner! This figure is the seal of His Majesty Mexica."

Puap looked carefully and saw only three neat squares surrounded by a circle of red marks. This is the precious carmine dye.

"Master, look at the pattern under the seal again. There are two villains here, and the kneeling villain is you!"

"What? You are the kneeling villain!"

Puap slapped Chivako on the shoulder, and Chivako grinned in pain. Since returning to the capital, he has regrouped a dozen or twenty trusted warriors, who are still distinguished masters. The reinforcements collapsed, most of Hummingbird's chief family warriors were killed, and the rest were even more important. Now, Master Pu Apu is not only responsible for the defense of the south gate of the capital, but also has more than 500 militia newly assigned to him.

"My lord, I don't have to kneel even if I want to! Look, the one standing there is His Majesty the Mexica, who is holding your hair and conferring on you. The yellow robe on your body, the green long Feather is the symbol of second-class hereditary nobility!"

Hearing this, Puap's eyes almost lit up. He greedily looked at the picture in the corner, as if he wanted to swallow the letter. After a while, Master Huitu suddenly let out a heavy sigh.

"Hey! My Huitu family has served the Hummingbird family for several generations. My father and grandparents all died on the battlefield, and I am still just a low-level senior warrior. I have only been a military nobleman for a few months until the chief favored me. The nobles and the priests are shouting and shouting, but in fact it is nothing. His Highness Mexica is a hereditary noble.”

"My lord, isn't it good to be a hereditary noble? It's as tall as a cocoa tree, and I don't know how taller it is than a corn stalk! From now on, you will be a great nobleman of the alliance, and even your son will be a great nobleman!"

Chivaco said with a smile, his tone was really envious.

"That's good. It's just me, the master, who is in a daze now, the chief is not mean to me after all!"

While Puap sighed, he carefully rolled up the letter paper and put it close to his body. Then, he stretched out his hand and asked eagerly.

"You said His Highness returned his jade talisman? Where is it? Give it to me!"

Chivaco smiled mischievously. He stretched out his hand and groped in his bosom for a long time before he reluctantly took out a piece of exquisite jadeite jade talisman.

"My lord, this is a token of contact. Even the nobles who deliver the letter are envious! I heard that with this jade talisman, you can meet His Majesty Mexica. You must keep it!"

"nonsense!"

Pu Apu snatched the jade talisman with his hands. He carefully looked at the engraving on the jade, and there were also three neat squares, exactly the same as the one on the letter. Master Huitu then smiled happily, put the jade talisman close to his body, and said with a smile.

"Okay, that's great, Your Highness is so generous! Old man Qi, let me tell you, the promised money is nothing. Is there anything in this city? Master, I can lead you to get more!. But only by relying on Your Highness, only what you get can be kept.”

Chivaco nodded approvingly. Then, he put away his smile and looked around, his old face became serious.

"The Mexica said, we will do it the night after tomorrow."

Puap also smiled. He waved his hand to let the cronies around him disperse, and asked in a low voice.

"When exactly?"

"The moon rises in the sky, after everyone has gone to sleep. At that time, a group of elite scouts will enter the city first, and a large group of warriors will follow behind. It's just that the city gate has long been blocked, and it will be a lot of trouble to enter the city. I'll go prepare more The rope to climb the city."

"Ha, don't worry about this!"

Having said that, Puap showed a smug smile on his face.

"The city wall is very high, and it is easy to be discovered by climbing the city. Old man Qi, you are from the country, and you have no knowledge! In fact, there is a secret door built on the south wall. At first, it was a passage for the defenders to attack, and later it became a smuggler. The secret way into the city. Ha, there are not many people who know the secret door. My lord, I am one of them. My father made a fortune from this! The hidden door of the wall is in your hands."

"Ah, secret door? Where is it? Master, I guard the city wall every day, and I haven't seen any loopholes!"

"Stupid! If it can be seen by others, can it still be a secret door? Of course, there are layouts inside and outside, and only one person can pass through. But recently, a few warriors from noble families have been wandering around near the secret door to see , there are quite a few people who have this idea, so I can't procrastinate any longer."

"As for the south gate, it was my master who led you to block it. When I was working, I saved one hand, and only the outermost layer was blocked. As long as there are enough people, it will take only a few quarters of an hour. Open it inside!"

"Master is really wise!"

Hearing this, Chihuaco bowed his waist and admired, with a smile on his old face. Then, he seemed to think of something and asked in a low voice.

"Manpower is a problem. There are only about thirty people I can trust. Most of them are militiamen who have lived and died together during the last expedition, and some old brothers from the same town. Master, how many people do you have?"

Hearing this, Puap smiled awkwardly.

"What do we divide between you and me? There are not many people in the family, and I dare not call out many old acquaintances, for fear of leaking the wind. I have about twenty reliable people on hand, all of whom are warriors."

The two raised their heads and stared at each other for a moment. In this big city with tens of thousands of people, more than fifty people are really insignificant and not worth mentioning. After a while, the old militiaman spoke first.

"Master, don't worry, you have 500 militiamen under your command! The villagers don't have too many worries, they are all forced to guard the city. For the next two days, let's treat them with good wine and food. The night after tomorrow, wait for Mexica As soon as the scouts enter the city, we will control the militiamen, and then we will fight together! Once the city gate is cleared and the brigade of warriors enters the city, there is nothing to worry about!"

Hearing the encouragement of the old militiamen, Puap nodded vigorously.

"Old man Qi, you are good at doing militia work. Come with me these two days!"

"Okay! Master, actually, I have another idea. When the Mexica enter the city and mess around. Let's"

After listening to Chivaco's words, Puap leaned against the pavilion on the city wall, muffled his head and did not make a sound. The sun shone on the pavilion, casting long shadows and covering the face of the dust warrior.

"master?"

Chivako's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively.

After a while, Puap let out a long breath, the voice seemed to come from the deep abyss.

"According to you! Alas, the three gods forgive me"

The muffled voice carried into the wind and fell into Chivaco's ears. The old militiaman shook the bronze spear in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He raised his head and looked at the bright sun in the sky. The sunlight fell on his face, gradually dispersed, and spread into a deep smile.

"Master, you are wrong. It is the blessing of the Lord God."

hey-hey. Happy writing. Don't hit me.
