Pirate Kingship

Byron couldn't learn the unconditional taming of [Falcon] Alvin, so he could only perform a loyal admirer in another way.

He didn't expect that Beatrice seemed to have some strange habits.

She would "take the hard way but not the soft way", and her attitude towards him was obviously much better.

She even silently expanded the scope of "using" this confidant in her heart.

She said a very tempting hint:

"Alvin, as long as you wait until this sacrifice is over and come back, I will allow you to "watch the night" in my bedroom.

By the way, don't forget to bring the rope you use to capture slaves."

Of course, the premise is that they can really come back.

Byron said that he didn't understand what she was talking about at all.

He just couldn't help but silently feel sorry for Alvin, the [Wild Hunt Servant] who licked until the end but had nothing.

"Queen, watch your step."

When he helped Beatrice out of the palace, the 100-man guard of honor who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately came to meet him.

They may not be that strong, but they are all tall and mighty, and each of them holds a spear inlaid with a huge golden spear head.

Just these hundreds of golden spear heads show how rich this golden city is.

It seems natural that they will be targeted by the Castilians as the number one target.

At this moment.

The morning glow in the sky sprinkled on the honor guard and the beautiful queen in the middle wearing a gold silk dress and holding the [Golden Codex] in her hands, and suddenly a golden splendor.

This is not an exaggerated rhetoric, but a statement of facts.

Especially Beatrice's perfect golden ratio of 1:0.618, which is even more dazzling under the reflection of the morning sun.

It's like a soul-stirring goddess descended on the earth.

Even Byron, who has been with each other for a long time and has long been accustomed to the other's evil beauty, subconsciously squinted his eyes.

The young soldiers in the honor guard are naturally more out of control.

The member of the front row closest to Beatrice was dazzled by the beauty of [The Changeable Enchantress] and accidentally let go of the spear in his hand unconsciously.

The heavy golden spear head immediately converted potential energy into kinetic energy and whistled towards Beatrice next to Byron.

If this thing hits an ordinary person, it is possible that the head will be broken and blood will flow, and bones and tendons will be broken.

And a powerful third-level extraordinary person will certainly not be injured by such a thing.

Byron also had a foresight and stood in front of her like the wind one step ahead, stretching out two fingers and easily pinching the fallen golden spear.

"Ah!"

The member of the honor guard finally came back to his senses, and his face turned pale.

But he didn't even dare to beg for mercy, and was dragged away by the head and arms by two guards.

No one doubted his fate. There will undoubtedly be another strong and superior sacrifice on the altar of [The Lord of Skinning] today.

Beatrice rode on the white horse she got from the outsiders, and the reorganized honor guard continued on the road.

However, what happened just now seemed to be just an insignificant episode.

Byron knew clearly that the direction where the spear fell just now should have been towards himself.

It was only because the lower end was stuck in the gap of the stone floor that it "accidentally" deviated from the target and fell towards Beatrice.

‘Ding Dong! Bind a danger source first.

Believe me, as your guard, I said I would not let you die in the hands of others, and you will definitely not die in the hands of others. ’

The sun rose higher and higher, in the most magnificent skinning temple in the center of the city.

“No, spare me, I am one of the empire’s own people!”

“Wait, you killed the princess, and now you want to kill us, we Taya people will not spare you in the future!”

“.”

From the first ray of sunlight piercing the darkness, the shrill screams began to be heard.

Under normal circumstances, the sacrifices need to empty their stomachs in advance and then take the drugs to avoid shouting and even blaspheming the gods by incontinence.

But today's blood feast carnival requires too many sacrifices.

Looking at the square and the central avenue "Death Avenue", the total number of densely packed slaves has exceeded 30,000.

Even with so many drugs, there is not so much time to waste.

All the fixed and temporary skinning altars around the pyramid are already running continuously.

But the shamans here still think that their movements are not neat enough and the speed is too slow, and even the intern shamans who have not yet taken office are all sent up to help.

The scene is too tragic to be described. Even an artificial river connecting the lake that bypasses the temple has completely turned into a blood river.

The dazzling red is spreading rapidly throughout Lake Texcoco.

And it's not just the lake that has changed color, even the golden sun above the city-state seems to be dyed bloody.

"In fact, the blood sacrifice in the material world is just a superficial phenomenon. As the ceremony progresses, the biggest change is in the spiritual world.

The red sun is the overflow of spirituality."

Byron has followed Beatrice, the chief priest, to the top of the Skinning Pyramid.

Compared with the nine-story Quetzalcoatl Pyramid in Chichen Itza, which he had climbed before, this one is obviously taller and larger, enough to match the thirteen-story pyramid of the Taya Empire.

Behind him is the temple where the statue of the [Lord of Skinning] is enshrined.

Byron opened his spiritual vision at the highest point of the material world and the spiritual world, allowing him to see the entire ritual clearly.

Every time a native was skinned and sacrificed.

On the edge of the royal city of Tenochtitlan, which existed as a huge island in the spiritual world, a new small island would emerge and merge with the big island.

As the island under his feet grew larger, its appearance gradually transformed into the crescent shape of the entire Yucatan Peninsula.

At the same time, the group concept of the Taino people in the Bantaan Islands was continuously strengthened and gradually forced to condense into a whole.

Byron was thinking:

"In the spiritual world of the Old World, the main body of human collective consciousness is a vast continent shrouded in the [Silver Law], which looks exactly like the shape of the Old World.

This is because both the East Coast countries and the West Coast countries have the same source of faith.

No matter which side of God each country believes in, the source is ultimately the [Bound Creator].

It is precisely because of countless coincidences and religious wars that the continent's beliefs have been unified.

It also makes the collective subconscious sea of ​​all populations in the Old World closely connected together.

The Lancaster family, who converted to the church, is one of the ties between the church and the Bay People.

Of course, there are very few independent islands like [Valhalla Valhalla] that are attached to the continent.

At this time, the Bantaan Islands are still fragmented in the real world, but they are constantly gathering in the spiritual world.

Just like what the Old World experienced thousands of years ago."

[Secret: The Mystery of Blood Sacrifice of the Azik Empire, Historical Influence 27] The original 72% deciphering density continues to rise.

Not only the density of the solution, but also Byron's own extraordinary knowledge is rapidly increasing.

There is no better place to study in the world than here.

"Some of these sacrifices come from the 'Crown War' that Azik just launched against the Southern Taya Empire, and some are tributes from hundreds of small city-states within the empire.

Some are from thousands of islands in the east.

Their identities almost cover all the two empires on Yucatan Island and the Bantaan Islands, as well as all the city-states and tribes.

This blood sacrifice is obviously to use these sacrifices as a medium to open up the collective subconscious of all ethnic groups.

Once it is done, it will become the foundation for the creation of the Taino people's [Golden Code] and the unified monarchy.

However, there are also bad consequences.

If there is no such empathy and pain, the anti-Azik alliance, which is already full of contradictions, would not be able to unite so smoothly.

This ceremony will not be so smooth to succeed."

In Byron's spiritual vision, as the number of blood sacrifices increased, the land in the spiritual world became larger and larger.

It is just that there are many totems, natural spirits, and guardian gods on the islands, each protecting a tribe.

The foundations of these islands are always distinct and cannot be completely integrated into a complete "continental shelf".

Break through the barriers between consciousness, individual subconsciousness, and collective subconsciousness.

Seeing this, Beatrice, the chief priest in front of Byron, immediately ordered other shamans to start the next stage of the ceremony.

"Start. Killing God Feast!"

Beep!

The long buffalo horn was blown.

A group of shamans simultaneously uncovered the palm leaves covering each layer of the pyramid, revealing a large group of stone statues full of vicissitudes of time.

There are dozens of statues of different sizes:

[Sun God] Tonatiuh, [Moon Goddess] Mysley, [Galactic Goddess] Sikenlelek, [War God] Huitzilopochtli

[Water God] Tlaloc, [Storm and Baptism Goddess] Chalchutriqui, [Fire Chamber and Volcano Goddess] Chantiko

Not only [Lord of the Skinner], but also all the main statues of other gods in the Azik pantheon have been moved here.

They only symbolize a certain concept and have no self-awareness. They no longer have the majestic appearance of sitting on the throne in the past.

But they seem to have anticipated their own fate, and they all shed tears of blood.

"Kill God!"

"Kill God!"

The Azik Empire conquered 371 city-states with a population of tens of millions, and the gods worshipped in the territory were naturally very diverse.

But unlike the gods in most civilizations, unless they are converted by force, they will never change.

The gods here are constantly adjusted and changed according to a certain time sequence and people's wishes.

As long as a god does not meet people's wishes, the residents of the city-state will not allow him to continue to enjoy the offerings, and even kill the corresponding god.

Therefore, as the Taino mythological world grows older, new gods are constantly replacing old gods.

Replacing the old with the new is through the "killing god" ceremony.

In the ceremony of worshiping the new god, the names of some gods of outdated or conquered tribes are marked on the food.

Smash the statues, slaughter and eat them!

The world of people is bloody, and the world of gods (natural spirits) is no less bloody.

"Kill the gods! Let's feast!"

All 250,000 people in the city, except for a few defensive forces, knelt on the ground around the pyramid.

With shouts, the blood in the temple at the top of the pyramid rushed to the sky, slowly condensing into the image of a god.

He was wearing bloody human skin, his body was as bright as gold, his mouth was open and bloody, his eyes were closed, and his ears were pierced.

There were black lines on his face from the forehead through the eyes to the chin, just like a big corn.

Holding a yellow shield in his hand, and hanging a ceramic container full of corn seeds on his waist.

At the first sight of Him, a series of concepts such as rebirth, agriculture, plants, disease, spring, goldsmiths, liberation, the East, etc. automatically flooded into the eyes of the onlookers.

It was as if He was the embodiment of these concepts.

Obviously, this was the patron god of Azik, [Lord of Skinning] Xipe Totec!

Under Beatrice's prayer.

He raised his hand and grabbed the [God of War] Huitzilopochtli among the gods, and the latter's skin immediately peeled off and fell on Him.

For the gods, this is not just a piece of skin, but also represents the image, personality, power, and even existence of the gods.

But now they were all taken away.

Then came the [Sun God] and the [Moon Goddess].

Dozens of the most representative Azik gods died one after another, and the statues that had been worshipped for who knows how many years also collapsed.

The huge island representing the entire Azik Empire and even part of the Taino tribe was finally bathed in the divine light of the [Skinning Lord].

Then, the [Skinning Lord], whose spiritual light was extremely strong, fell beside the chief priest Beatrice.

He placed his right hand, which seemed to be made of gold, on the glittering [Golden Code].

On the other side, the Azik Emperor Montezuma II also climbed to the top of the pyramid and also placed his right hand on the [Golden Code].

Then a majestic voice resounded throughout the royal city:

"God has given the kingship! The emperor is the son of God, and I will make you the monarch and king of every place in the world!"
