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

Chapter 509 The scapegoat!
Li Fei really couldn't imagine what kind of prophecy could be related to them, which made Dikal very afraid of them but he didn't dare to let them go.

"Oh? Can you tell me?"

Kawi smiled and looked very friendly.

"The high priest once said that the mysterious power that subverted the Mayan empire came from the sea."

This prophecy is ambiguous. At least Li Fei will not take the blame.

"Then what does this prophecy have to do with us?"

"I heard that several people came from the east. The east of the empire is the vast sea."

Seeing Li Fei's displeasure, Kawei's expression did not change at all, and he just stated the facts calmly.

"As I said before, we did not come across the ocean."

One thing needs to be explained repeatedly, which makes people feel a little impatient, and Li Fei's tone is not very good, but Kawei doesn't take it to heart.

"I believe you on this, but maybe Dikal doesn't believe it, otherwise he wouldn't do this, right?"

"One thing I'm curious about is, if your brother Dikal thinks that we are the mysterious force that subverts the Mayan Empire, why doesn't he deal with us on the spot? Isn't he one of the city lords of the Mayan Empire?"

Kawei suddenly laughed and said mysteriously:

"He isn't anymore."

Seeing that Li Fei and others looked confused, Kawei continued to explain.

"Now that I am the king, Tikal City has become the Tikal Kingdom."

"So you have separated from the Mayan Empire Federation?"

"That's what I originally thought, but Dikal changed his mind."

"What do you mean?"

"He wanted the entire Mayan empire."

I don't know if this Kawei is a smart person, but Li Fei was a little surprised when he suddenly learned such a big secret.

"Is it appropriate to tell us these things?"

"It's not a secret either."

"Why trust us?"

"I just believe in the prophecies of the high priest."

"How can you be sure that the prophecy is talking about us? Maybe this prophecy will be fulfilled hundreds of years later, and the mysterious man from the sea may not come from the east, maybe from the west?"

For example, the great man who discovered the New World hundreds of years later shocked the whole world.

Kawei was very surprised when he heard what Li Fei said, but precisely because of this, he was even more sure that his feeling was correct.

"Hearing what you say makes me even more sure that you are the people predicted by the high priest."

"..."

Why is this guy so unreasonable? OK, if the Mayan Empire is now facing a civil war, Li Fei may really take action.

"Well, since you believe in the prophecy so much, tell me more details." Regardless of whether this prophecy is true or false, the purpose of Li Fei's trip will not be false. Since this young man named Kawei If people firmly believe in the prophecy, they might as well follow the trend and take the opportunity to intervene in the internal affairs of the Mayan Empire.

But when Kawei told Li Fei the origin and process of the whole incident, Li Fei realized that he should take the blame. Unexpectedly, this incident was related to the depletion of vitality caused by the earth veins some time ago.

Everything starts with that disaster, because the high priest did not give early warning about the disaster, and the king of the Mayan Empire was also unsatisfactory in handling the disaster.

The city-states of the empire suffered heavy losses as a result. The city owners felt that it was the monarch's negligence and believed that the disaster was a punishment from the gods because they were dissatisfied with the monarch.

So the city lords proclaimed themselves kings and established kingdoms, hoping to replace the emperor of the empire.

But if you want to become the king of the Mayan Empire, you must first obtain the allegiance of the high priest. Since the disaster, the high priest has not appeared.

He did not agree with what the city lords or kings said that the gods would punish them and change the king, nor did he come forward to oppose such statements.

In short, the high priest's failure to show up, speak, or take a stand directly catalyzed the outbreak of the civil war in the Mayan Empire to some extent. The various city lords who proclaimed themselves kings were not convinced by anyone and wanted to break into the palace of the Mayan Empire. Before the king is dragged off the throne, he must first convince the other kingdoms in the alliance.

After a round of civil war, other small countries have been defeated and withdrew from the competition. Only the two largest kingdoms in the Mayan Empire are still fighting endlessly. One of them is Tikal and the other is Caracamo.

Tikal led his army out of the city to fight against Karakmo.

"What do you want us to do?"

As the saying goes, they don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Cavite came to them specially and informed them all about the situation in the Mayan Empire. It was impossible to do so without conditions.

"I hope you will help Tikal win."

"What good does this do to you? Your name is Kawei, not Dikal. You are obviously not the heir to this kingdom."

Li Fei didn't believe that there was no selfish desire in this world, but Kawei was not angry when he said it out loud, but instead smiled.

"It will be soon."

Since Kawei said so, he must have a way to inherit his brother's position. As for what he wants to do specifically, Li Fei is not interested. There are only so many ways to fight for inheritance rights in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and none of them is clean.

"Are you so sure we can do it?"

It can be seen that Kawei is indeed a smart man and a gambler. He placed bets on Li Fei and others. Not to mention this person's means, his vision and courage alone made Li Fei right. Kawei has changed a lot.

"Then can you do it?"

Kawei asked back, and Li Fei smiled confidently.

"of course."

However, a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. The key to winning such a large-scale war is resources and population. The two kingdoms of Tikal and Karakmo are equally powerful in terms of population and national strength.

Since you want to help Tikal, you need to help them expand their population and obtain strategic resources.

Li Fei asked Kawei for a map of the entire Mayan Empire. In terms of war, the people of the Mayan Empire were really outrageous. In addition to marking the locations of various kingdoms and city-states, as well as simple rivers and mountains, the map also marked other things. It's just blank.

One thing aroused Li Fei's idea. He discovered that there were many open spaces between the kingdoms of the Mayan Empire. In other words, the territories of the two adjacent kingdoms were not close to each other. There were many unowned areas in between. land.

Kawei's answer was that these unclaimed lands were owned by the empire. Although it was so in name, the emperor of the empire would not send anyone to manage them.

“Isn’t that still a borderless land?”

Li Fei was speechless. Sometimes he really wanted to pry open these people's brains to see what was inside, and how they could be so inflexible.
