Start North America 1400: nation building

Ziboche's plan was as simple as it was difficult.

Simple is to untie the bell and tie the bell.

Don't you, a princess, have no clue in your heart?
How can you fall in love with a slave?
Since you can save Keya, why not let him go without authority?

Perhaps the princess had thought of doing this too, but she was too young to understand what the Pandora's box called power in her hand meant.

Ziboche wants to open it for her.

The difficulty lies in two points...

As Oyer said, if Her Royal Highness only treats Keya as a plaything, then this move will not only fail to save Keya, but will also involve the three of Ziboche.

Besides, this is the process of meeting.

After the break.

A group of people continued to climb the long steps.

The closer they got to the sacrificial temple at the peak, the more dignified their expressions became. Panic was unavoidable, and they were inexplicably palpitating because of the solemnity of this religious place.

On the platform, the buildings in the big city turned into small square boxes, people like ants, and the lake outside the city looked like gems embedded in the ground.

Qi Boche and others were dumbfounded.

If it wasn't for this opportunity, they would never have had the opportunity to be so close to the sky in their entire lives.

This is different from climbing a mountain to overlook the earth.

Nature is God's creation.

But everything at present is the creativity displayed by human beings.

The shock left them speechless.

The waiter of the sacrificial temple showed a proud look: "The sacrificial altar took 40 years to build, and it is far more magnificent than the Pyramid of the Sun of the ancestors of Otihuacan."

He still didn't forget to "play a full set of plays": "As long as the quality of your tribute this time satisfies the sacrifice, you will be able to climb to the high platform every day in the future."

Ha ha ha.

Who doesn't know what routine you play?

It was precisely because of his face that the three woke up from the shock, looked at each other, and knew that it was time for the last fight.

Oyer gave out another translucent gemstone and handed it to the waiter: "My lord, when the time comes, I will trouble you to say something nice to the priest for us!"

The waiter didn't even have any down on his mouth.

Hearing the title of "adult", his face flushed, and he was in a trance.

If it wasn't for this matter, he couldn't make the decision, and he really wanted to hand over the tribute business to them.

"I will help you to speak more good words, but everything depends on your performance!"

"Let's go, let me get acquainted with a few temples first, and then go to place the tribute."

From the outside, the high platform temple is one, but it is actually divided into seven temples.

There are four seats on the surface.

There are also stairs that sink down, and the second floor under the platform is the other three.

The scale is not large. After all, it is a high-altitude building. Building buildings on such a lofty platform is already the embodiment of the highest technology at present.

The crowd followed the attendants through the various temples, and then began to place tributes.

At this moment, the waiter was called, and he said, "I'm going to serve the priests and honored guests! After you arrange the offerings, just wait by the side. After the morning service, I will come to you."

The attendants are not worried that they dare to do evil in the temple.

What's more, there are guards guarding each temple outside.

Therefore, even though the three of them had arrived inside the temple, they didn't think the plan would work, their breathing was faintly short of breath, and they were constantly restraining themselves...

"he's gone!"

"Which temple is the princess going to?"

"All the noble women's families will be in the one in the middle of the underground, I'll take you there!"

Oyer wants to go and lead the way.

But was stopped by Qiboche, "I just found out the location, and everything went according to plan."

Oyer was still worried, and hesitated to speak.

Polly Poma whispered: "Follow the plan."

If the three of them were all trapped underground, it would be almost impossible to escape. It's not that Polypomar is afraid of death at this point...

Because according to Ziboche's instructions, if something unexpected happens, he will shout, and no matter what shout he hears, the two of Polypoma must cooperate to cause a commotion, and then take advantage of the chaos to leave the tower.

Afterwards, the two can go to Kema City on their own and find Queztitko to identify themselves.

Oyer's loyalty, although his belief in balance still wavers, but at this time he is still impressed by Ziboche's courage——

"Praise balance!"

Ziboche laughed, and also said in a low voice: "Praise the balance!"

The words fall.

He turned and walked towards the stairs leading down.

at this time.

The nobles who came to worship were still waiting outside, and had to wait for the temple to be ready before releasing them, and then lined up to worship.

Most of them are based on clans and families.

Therefore, what Ziboche has to do is to wait.

He came to the temple and placed all the tributes he brought; picking cotton balls to dry, corn grains, fresh meat...

Most of them are raw products without secondary processing.

After the tribute, there is a rough-carved "My Lord's True Body God Statue", which was made by the priest with reference to the wood carving, but their art and craftsmanship are obviously not up to the level of "creation of the gods".

After finishing everything, Ziboche stood in the shadow of the corner.

He stared at the statue, and began to praise silently again.

Not long after, there was finally the sound of letting go upstairs, and soon someone walked into the temple.

The visitor ignored him.

Several aristocratic women knelt down to the idol, and their prayer gestures were pious.

Regardless of whether the true god sent judgment and brought disaster, but no one is not afraid of the gods.

And these days the whole city is blocked, and the ceremony of worship is to seek a way out.

Ziboche was a little lost in thought. The Tepanix people who didn't really believe in Kinkou all feared the true God like this.

What kind of grand scene is that in the Kingdom of God?
After being in a trance, he felt uneasy again.

Most people come in small groups.

How could he have a secret conversation with Mondaya if outsiders were present?

If there is any movement, the guards in the aisle outside the hall will rush in!
"Do you want to give up?"

"Find another opportunity? Even if you miss the prince's mission this time, it's not like you won't have the chance to leave the city."

If you act recklessly, you will get no results, and you will kill yourself, which is not worth it.

While he was thinking about it, there were dense footsteps coming from the aisle outside, and they seemed to have stopped outside the hall.

Then I heard some immature female voices: "Don't follow me, I'll go in alone!"

this moment.

Qiboche's heart was beating wildly, almost to the point of his throat: "My lord..."

He had a hunch.

Lord, here we come! !

After a few breaths, a short girl stepped in, wearing a golden headband on her head, which was inlaid with gemstones of the same color and size.

Gemstones of the same texture and color are hard to find, so noble belts and headbands are mostly variegated and colorful.

But this girl's headband is the same color, and her dress has patterns of the sun and the moon.

That is the fiery worship of the ancestors of Teotihuacan, and it is the royal emblem of the Tezomoko family!

"It's her, it must be!"

Ziboche trembled.

He eagerly glanced outside the gap in the curtain, only the figure of the guard standing not far away was reflected on the ground.

Qiboche swallowed hard and was about to step forward.

But at this moment, the girl's kneeling and praising sound made him stunned again——

"God, please forgive our sins!"

"I don't understand why Father, Grandpa Lord is unwilling to listen to your call and lead the people to embark on the road of salvation and go to your happy country."

"I can't control their thoughts..."

"But I would like to imitate the legendary 'Witch of the Kingdom of God', sacrifice my body and spirit, and beg you to cast a benevolent gaze on the people of Tepanix."

"Father only wants me to get the throne because of the grandfather's favor! But how did he know that the grandfather told me that I should not be a queen, that is a throne full of thorns and thorns."

"If I inherit the throne, everyone will throw arrows and knives at me..."

"I don't want to be a princess either. I want to go to his hometown with brother Keya, and he will take me to the distant sea..."

"I want to escape from here, but I don't know how to do it. If you can hear my plea, please give me guidance..."

When the girl's voice fell.

She kowtowed deeply.

The moment she raised her head, she suddenly felt a shadow hanging over her head.

She opened her mouth suddenly, her face was terrified, but an old hand covered her mouth again——

"Shh!"

"Do you want guidance?"

Ziboche's voice trembled because he was so excited.

He wanted to use Mondaya as a breakthrough to rescue Keya, which was wishful thinking and a big gamble.

Because no one knows what kind of character Her Royal Highness is, and what kind of attitude she has towards Keya.

Now, she not only showed her attitude towards Keya, but also showed her devout belief in balance.

And a few days ago, when those 17 people brought the "Fire Spreader" precepts, Qiboche decided that this rescue trip was the guidance given to him by Kinkou.

But now, he really understands that the mighty power of the true god of our lord is by no means mere mere mortals.

Our Lord Balance has already made arrangements for all of this——

"Do you want guidance?"

"I am your guide;"

"And you are my guide!!"

He tried not to let his emotions be too turbulent, tried his best to restrain himself, and showed softness:

"Don't shout, I am a servant of our Lord Balance!"

"It was He who guided me to meet you!!"

The girl's eyes showed shock and doubt, but when she looked at the eyes of the old man in front of her, she didn't see any malice, and she was completely ecstatic.

As a young man who was placed in front of the stage by his father and used as a tool for favor, Mengdaya has already learned the ability to observe words and expressions.

So, her panic subsided, and she nodded slightly, indicating that she would not shout.

Only then did Qiboche put down his hand, "You are Princess Mondaya, right?"

"Yes!"

"I'm Qiboche. I came to see you today to rescue Keya. As I said just now, all of this is a guide for balance!"

Mengdaya glanced outside the door, confirmed that no one was paying attention, and said, "How can I trust you?"

Qi Boche said: "My name is 'Fire Passer'. Since you have heard the legend of the God Kingdom Witch, you must also remember the precepts that those 17 people said about the Fire Passer when they brought the news of Tadong City... "

"The fire spreader who went to the distance..."

He repeated the precepts.

He added: "Everyone thinks this is just a blessing from the true god to brothers Ahao and Kema."

"Actually, the fire bearers represent those who seek salvation like me. We are going far away, looking for the road to salvation, and passing the balanced fire with the darkness..."

"This is the name of 'Fire Passer'!"

"In addition, Keya is from Hill City, right? If he tells you that besides his father, there is a younger brother in his family!"

"He was deceived by the name of conscription, and was sold as a slave, and finally sold to the garden official's mansion!"

However, Mengdaya was still very cautious: "If you were sent by my father to deceive me, these things will naturally be clear!"

Qi Boche didn't expect that he would not be able to convince her when he said this.

But at this moment, he suddenly woke up.

A hand reached into his bosom, took out something, and handed it to the girl: "This thing should prove my identity!"

"For my sins, I seek a redeemer!"

"And this thing is the proof of my sin."

Mengdaya took it and looked down, his eyes suddenly widened.

She raised her head to look at the old man again, then lowered her head to look again, and repeated this process a dozen times...

After a long time, she tremblingly said: "This, what is this?"

Qiboche has long since lost his fear of this object.

Not only was it relieved, but it was also gratifying because this thing was displayed in front of people several times, which made their beliefs balanced and tried repeatedly! !
"This is my 'soul seal'."

"Because of my sins, the Lord God imprisoned my soul. Only by seeking the way of redemption and passing on the fire of balance can I obtain my own way of judgment!"

"You must know that the world is guilty, and everyone's path to redemption is different."

"If you want balance in your heart, as long as you walk towards Him, you will be saved!"

"As for me, I have no choice but to go to the distance to become a 'fire spreader', and I don't know what to do next!"

"But today, I saw you, this is my Lord's guidance to me!"

So far, although the girl's eyes were shocked, she was completely convinced.

She glanced at the "soul seal" again, then carefully handed it back——

"Can you save Koya, and...can you let me escape from here?"

Ziboche was uncertain earlier.

If the princess supports him, this is only the first step. How to get Keya and his son out of the city is the key.

And now, there is another princess who wants to escape...

However, at this time, this hidden guidance gave Qi Boche great confidence——

"I can!"

Qiboche looked at the statue on the altar, "Because he is watching us right now!!"

……

Upper Temple.

Polypomar and Oyer were anxious.

The morning sacrifice was about to end, but there was still no movement from the bottom floor.

And they cannot gather and move around.

They need to stand guard in the temples they are responsible for respectively.

Polypoma had a plan in mind, no news is the best news.

Either the plan succeeds!
Either Ziboche failed to execute, but at least one risk was avoided.

But Oyer may not be so smart.

Polypomar worried that Oyer could not hold his breath, and finally stepped out of the temple where he was.

Unexpectedly, the guards outside did not inquire, they only regarded him as an attendant in the temple.

He came to Oyer's sacrificial hall.

When Oyer saw him, his face changed drastically: "Brother, are you going to do something? I, I didn't hear the signal from downstairs!"

Polypomar showed a dumbfounding expression, not only comforting him, but also comforting himself: "No signal is a good thing! Either it succeeds or it doesn't proceed!"

"With the character and will of an adult, why not proceed?"

When the two were whispering.

But I saw the waiter who led them in ran quickly, "Quick, follow me to the main hall, the high priest wants to see you!"

With that said, he was leading the way.

At this time, Oyer has panicked, and he may strike at any time, causing a commotion and fleeing, "Brother?!"

Polypoma frowned, and finally shook his head: "It shouldn't be a bad thing! Otherwise, it would not be the waiter who came, but the guards who surrounded us."

The two were suspicious and followed.

As soon as they entered the main hall, they were startled. The high priest in sacrificial attire came laughing and said, "Are you the new tribute merchants who came to evaluate? Good!"

"His Royal Highness Mengdaya comes to worship every day. Looking at the tribute today, I can tell that you have spent a lot of thought. Therefore... Her Royal Highness has bestowed grace on you."

"From today onwards, you will be responsible for the delivery of tributes to the temple!"

The two were dumbfounded and at a loss.

But he heard the high priest shout angrily: "Don't you kowtow to the princess to thank you?!"

At this moment, they glanced out of the corner of their eyes, only to find that Qiboche, who was not far away, had already started kowtowing and praising a young girl——

"Praise you, beautiful princess! We will not let you down, and offer the best tribute to the true God, the Lord of Equilibrium!!"

The princess showed a gentle smile: "You should... praise Balance!!"
