Aztec Eternals

The sky was low, and the dark clouds of the rainy season covered the sky, blocking the midday sun. There is no sparkling light on Lake Texcoco, only small boats leaving in a hurry, avoiding the possible showers. There is not a trace of wind or rain in the vast capital city of the lake, as if frozen in the deep sky and earth. In the shadow of the Tianhe River, the majestic Great Temple stands quietly like a mountain, and floats and sinks like a dark sea.

The towering chief palace is located next to the magnificent Great Temple. The god's veil hangs down without wind, distorting the body of the main god, and falling obliquely to the wall. The murals of the gods are dim, blurring the face of the main god, and they are hidden in the corner. Everything today seems to have some kind of ominous omen.

"it's dark?"

After an unknown amount of time, the sleeping elder in the dark sea slowly opened his cloudy eyes, looking at the dark and stagnant sky. He was lying on the soft and warm cotton bed, but he couldn't feel any comfort or temperature. This body was already too old, almost leaving his soul, and it was only with his last breath that it was barely connected together.

The shadow Chevali was holding the clay pot, standing silently beside the elder, with a rare worry on his face. There is silence in the great hall, only the breath of approaching death, and the pervasive whisper of death. It was not until a while later that the elder's eyes regained a trace of clarity, and he noticed the shadow beside him.

"You're back?"

"Yes, elder."

Shadow lowered his head, bowed to the owner of the shadow, and put away all expressions.

"how?"

"The high priest drank the potion in the city of Cholula. Some of his bodyguards escorted his body south to the camp of His Royal Highness Xiulot. The remaining guards raised their troops in Cholula and set fire to revenge."

Shadow replied in a low voice, without any emotion. This was the last news he got before he left.

"High Priest, let's go"

The elder nodded slowly, his expression changed slightly. Under the service of the shadow, he sat up slowly, looking at the gloomy and majestic Great Temple. This spectacle, which has been passed down for less than a hundred years, and the center of the theocratic power of the alliance, once again lost the manager who was on the throne, and will soon lose the master who is almost the same age as it.

"Well, that's right. Little Xiutel, you left for a few days as agreed. Now, you should be here, right? Say hello to everyone for me? I'm coming too"

The elder lowered his eyes and murmured for a while. Then, he looked at the shadow and stretched out his hand.

"Chevali, give me a bottle of energy potion."

"."

Chevali was silent for a while, then took out a bottle of potion with a red pottery lid, and tremblingly handed it to the elder. This potion uses powerful herbs to overdraw the vitality in the body to keep you awake and sharp for a period of time. And with the body of an elder, drinking such a potion

"Shadow, send some envoys to call the priests and elders of the High Priest Group, as well as my son Kakamazin. Well, first inform Elder Ugel."

The elder held the potion but didn't drink it, with a faint smile on his face. He calmly ordered a few words, then lowered his old eyes and closed his eyes to preserve his spirit.

Soon, the envoys hurriedly left the palace and scattered in all directions with the most urgent purpose. Within three or four quarters of an hour, the elder priest, Ugel, was the first to arrive, carrying a bamboo basket and panting. In his bamboo basket are still towels, cattail fans, and some serving items.

"Dear Elder, Ugel greets you!"

Ugel lay on the ground, respectfully, and kowtowed to the elder a few times. His heart was beating violently, and his head was sweating.

The elder looked calm and quietly looked at the fat priest elder. He didn't smile until the other party carefully raised his eyes to peek.

"Ugel, get up! Put the bamboo basket behind you aside. You will be the leader of the high priests in the future. It's really not good to carry these on your body."

"Yes! Elder? Shall I come to preside over the high priests?"

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Ugel was shocked on the spot, and even opened his mouth wide. He raised his head blankly, staring at the elder's smiling face, completely stuttering.

"It's me. You. The high priest? This, ah?!"

"The high priest Shutel was murdered by the priests and elders in the city of Cholula."

The elder lowered his eyes and calmly told the facts.

"The affairs of the high priests of the capital will be entrusted to you from now on."

"Ah this! I, no, I, that, I."

Ugel spoke incoherently, and he didn't even know what he was talking about, but the elder seemed to understand. He shook his head expressionlessly and said lightly.

"This is my will. Soon, when the priests and elders arrive, I will make an official announcement. You should prepare first."

".Obey, sir."

Ugel fell on the ground, kowtowed his head a few more times, then stood up, put down the bamboo basket, and stood aside in a daze. The high priest Xiutel died suddenly, and he was chosen by the elders to be the next high priest?

".Uh, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Ugel was out of his mind, and after thinking for a while, he became more and more suspicious. He stretched out his fat hand and twisted his thigh fiercely. Then, his face twitched suddenly, and he let out a low cry of pain.

"ah"

More than ten pairs of eyes looked over at the same time. Ugel looked at the crowd, blinked, and immediately shut up.

In the spacious chief hall, everyone was sad and had tears in their eyes, but at this moment they were disturbed by Ugel's voice. The elder priest Tonatiu raised his eyebrows, the elder priest Tequis of the Vulcan department stared wide-eyed, the elder priest Yazar of the God of War gritted his teeth, and the elder priest Aka of the main god department Pu lowered his eyes, Cuomo, the elder priest of the royal branch, raised his mouth, and the elder Kakamazin glanced at him, and then looked at the elder worriedly. Honorable ones, all have arrived.

"...Well, that's it. The high priest has gone to the Kingdom of God."

The elder's expression remained unchanged, his face was unusually rosy, and his eyes were radiant. He looked around at the crowd, his vicissitudes and heavy eyes fell, and all the elders bowed their heads and saluted respectfully. And beside him, there was an empty clay pot with a red clay lid and an inconspicuous shape.

"The priest and elder Ugel has presided over the teaching affairs for many years. He has rich experience, careful thinking, and has never made any omissions. He made great contributions in quelling the rebellion of the Texcoco city-state. Afterwards, he went to the north and presided over Helot Peck's conversion ceremony was quite effective. I am relieved that the high priests of the Alliance have been handed over to him."

The elder's face was calm, and he said a lot lightly. Afterwards, he glanced at Ugel who was trembling slightly, nodded calmly and affirmatively, and issued a decree.

"From today onwards, the priest and elder Ugel will take over as the high priest!"

In the chief hall, there was a moment of silence, and the drop of a needle could be heard. All the priests and elders looked at each other, their expressions changed a little.

The honorable Sun God Elder Tonatiu frowned deeply, almost forming a line. The frank God of War Elder Yazar blushed and wanted to say something, but fell silent under the eyes of the elder. And the young main god elder Akap lowered his head, hiding all the ambitions in his heart behind his gentle face.

The sun god, the god of war, and the main god are the three most important priesthoods of Vitzilopochtli. The three elders are also the most powerful contenders for the high priest. At this moment, none of them dared to speak out against it, and the position of high priest was officially appointed!

"very good."

After a while, the elder smiled lightly and ordered in a deep voice.

"In this case, you are here, pay respects to the new high priest!"

The hall was quiet again. The chubby Ugel stood in front of the crowd with a blank expression. The priests and elders glanced at each other, finally knelt down one after another, bowed their heads, and saluted the new high priest.

"Blessed by the Lord God! Greetings to you, High Priest Ugel!"

Seeing many priests and elders kneeling in front of him, Ugel was shocked. A feeling he had never felt before hit his heart, making all his pores open comfortably. At this moment, he looked at the drowsy sky, and felt that the dark clouds hanging all over the sky were gifts from the Lord God, a dessert with black persimmons added!

In just a few breaths, a blushing flush appeared on Ugel's face. He wanted to raise the scepter to respond, but he didn't have the scepter in hand. In a hurry, he slowly raised his fat hand, drew the word "囵" of the sun hummingbird, and shouted loudly.

"The Lord God bless!!"
