Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 508 Friendly Kavi

While Li Fei and Tikal were having a 'friendly' meeting, a man who looked like a guard came to Tikal in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Karakmo has mobilized its troops to leave the city and is coming in our direction."

Upon hearing this, Tikal stood up abruptly and took his weapon from the entourage behind him - a big stick inlaid with sharp animal bones.

"You guys are not allowed to leave the city!"

This sentence was said to Li Fei and others. I wonder if he would dare to speak in such a tone if he knew the true identities of Li Fei and others.

Seeing Dikal in a hurry as if there was going to be a war, Li Fei and others had no plans to leave now. They had just arrived in the Mayan Empire and there were still many things they were unclear about. Now that they had found a place to stay, of course they were in no hurry to leave. .

After Dikal gathered his troops and left the city, Li Fei and others took a leisurely stroll in Dikal City. If there was one thing that made people feel uncomfortable, it was that there were always armed guards following them and monitoring them all the time.

But who are the teachers and students at Noah College? In their eyes, this surveillance guard is no different from paper, and it does not play any role in restricting freedom.

The reason why he didn't have an attack was because he didn't plan to leave the city, so there was no need.

"Sacrifice wine, what does this city lord want to do by leaving us in the city?"

Among the group of people, Adolf, the only one who felt uncomfortable because of the guards' surveillance, finally couldn't bear to speak.

As an assassin, he has always been the only one monitoring others in the dark. Now, being stared at by so many pairs of eyes was a bit uncomfortable.

"Who knows."

Li Fei is not so smart that he can see through other people's thoughts. Although he can't see through, he always has a feeling...

"I think this city lord's attitude towards us is very strange."

Xiu, who had always been taciturn, spoke up. He told Li Fei about the strange feeling in his heart. Li Fei was very satisfied with his keen perception and nodded immediately.

"Yes, I think so too."

"How to say?"

Li Fei and Xiu's words attracted everyone's attention. At least those with a slower perception of human nature, such as Song Jiang, Hilt, Shiranui Kiritsugu and others, did not notice anything wrong.

"It's hard to say right now, so it's okay to take a look first and then talk."

Now that Li Fei said it was okay, everyone felt relieved and finally had the interest to take a walk around the stone city.

The reason why Tikal City is called Stone City is because the buildings here are all made of stones, and there are very few places where wood is used. It is mostly for decoration.

As for the streets in the city, let’s just call them streets.

In fact, it is just a lane between various stone buildings. There are no specialized vendors. Li Fei specifically asked, this city-state or even the entire Mayan Empire does not even have currency in circulation. What is needed can only be bartered. Obtained by exchange.

Therefore, none of the hustle and bustle of the city could be seen here. When walking between the stone houses, residents who occasionally saw their group when going out were so frightened that they took a detour.

"..."

"I'm sure this empire is really, really, really backward."

Chi You could only use the word "depression" to describe everything he saw now.

Even Li Fei couldn't help but become curious, and caught the guard captain who was monitoring them and asked him.

"Why is there no one in the city?"

"Unless there are sacrificial activities, residents in the city generally don't go out."

The guard captain looked at Li Fei and others strangely, as if he thought they were asking some funny questions.

"Then...don't your people need to make a living? For example, hunting? Farming? Something like that..." As soon as he said this, he once again received a wave of strange looks, but the guard captain did not say anything more. He led Li Fei and others through the stone house building quickly.

We came to a place that looked like an outer city.

The reason why it is said to be like an outer city is that the buildings here are not all made of stone after all, but there are tree houses, thatched houses, and wooden houses. In this place, you can see large areas of farmland and indigenous residents working on the farmland.

Li Fei carefully identified it. The crops here are mainly corn, tomatoes, and cotton, as well as some tobacco and cocoa.

"The people who live in the city are all noble adults. What you are talking about is what the servants do."

The captain of the guard explained to Li Fei and others on the side that, apart from anything else, as long as Li Fei and others were not good at making decisions and running around, the captain of the guard was quite easy to talk to.

Only then did everyone realize that the Maya Empire's living standards were backward and class divisions were still very clear after the return. The powerful enjoyed solid stone houses and did not need to work and could participate in sacrificial activities, while the low-status commoners had to farm and hunt. Live to support the powerful.

After walking around Dikal City, Li Fei and others had a pretty good understanding of the city, so they returned to the city lord's palace. The captain of the guard placed them in a stone house in a corner of the city lord's palace.

Although the treatment is not bad, there is one thing that restricts their freedom. Not only is there a guard at the door, but they also need permission to enter and exit, and they must be accompanied by guards.

"His grandma, isn't this treating us as prisoners?"

Chi You had a bad temper. If Li Fei and Huang Di hadn't held him down, he would have gotten angry and massacred the city.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This city lord named Dikal will not lock us up, but he will not let us go. Fortunately, he is entertaining us."

After walking around this time, even the most obtuse person would notice something unusual.

"It feels like he wants to keep us here, but he doesn't want to offend us."

Li Fei made this analysis.

"Why? He doesn't know us either, so why is he afraid of us?"

Just when everyone was confused, there was movement outside the door of the stone house.

"Lord Kavi!"

Hearing the guard's greeting, Li Fei and others knew the name of the visitor.

This young man named Kavi, from the clothes and decorations on his body, you can tell that he has a high status in Tikal City, but I don't know why he came here.

"I am the younger brother of the country's lord Tikal, Kawei, hello everyone."

Kawei introduced his identity as soon as he entered the door, and judging from his behavior and attitude, he showed full friendliness.

"Hello."

Li Fei was suspicious of this sudden kindness, so he just responded lightly.

When the other party saw this, he knew that Li Fei was the talker among the group, so after a brief greeting, he started talking to Li Fei.

"Guests, please forgive me. There is a reason why Tikal treats you like this."

Li Fei raised his eyebrows.

"what is the reason?"

Kawei took a deep breath and pondered for a long time, as if he was telling everyone an unknown secret that had been buried for many years.

"A prophecy from the high priest."
