Time is like water, passing by endlessly, and the world moves forward one after another, without being stopped by anyone.

After Gilliam left, he went straight to the palace and reported to King Avit. In the early morning of the second day, Avitt summoned Shulot to meet alone and asked about Donghai's prophecy.

Xiulot was prepared and came in a hurry. He brought a map of the East China Sea that he had drawn for a long time, and a hand-painted portrait of the colonists.

The gate of the Stone Palace opened, then closed again. There was no one else around, the guards were sent away, and even Gilliam couldn't enter. The teacher and the student had a secret meeting for a day, and they spoke frankly and said everything. The long talks did not come to an end until dusk fell and the red sun set in the sky.

Afterwards, the king summoned his servants and held a small dinner. He drank some beer and asked about the details of the wedding before letting Xiulot leave.

The night was dark and the evening breeze was blowing. The flickering candles in the king's hall are like the ever-changing king's heart. Avit frowned, standing alone in the middle of the hall. He believed in his own judgment, and also believed that Shulot was not lying. The king's expression was mixed with anger and joy, his eyes seemed to be burning with flames, and he was looking in the direction of the sunrise.

"...If Shulot's apocalypse is true, beyond the far east of the sea, there will be a rich and powerful new continent, with many new crops and beasts, and countless new technologies that can change the world!... Hehe, this world , It’s so vast! In the world, there are so many lands that can be conquered, and there are so many opponents that can be contested, it’s really trembling and full of joy!”

Avit murmured, without changing his face. The real king has always been tenacious, has strong self-confidence, and never fears the opponent's strength!

In the high priest's mansion, Shulot sat opposite his grandfather. With a calm expression and a slight smile, he narrated the revelations of his dreams, as well as his conversations during the day.

During the daytime talks, Avit had already made a promise: the Kingdom would contribute the manufacturing technology of the Sun Condor Cannon and the Crocodile Galleon to the Alliance, and send professional craftsmen to teach them. The Alliance rewarded 10,000 Mexicans, acquiesced in the conquest of Otter City, and supported the kingdom's exploration of the East China Sea!

After listening, the high priest sat upright with his eyes closed, speechless for a long time. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at his grandson solemnly.

"Who taught you about the East China Sea prophecy?"

"...Well?"

Hearing this, Xiulot was a little surprised. He shook his head and confessed frankly.

"Grandfather, the East China Sea prophecy was inspired by the gods, and I got it in a dream. There is no falsification, and no one taught it!"

"...In this way, it is true!...The shortest time is within ten years, and the longest time is more than ten years, it will be verified!"

Thinking of this, the high priest frowned and remained silent in thought. Many thoughts beyond the rules flashed in his mind, but they should not be mentioned to outsiders. After a long while, he solemnly shook his head and exhorted him solemnly.

"Sholot, my son. It's not appropriate to say more about Donghai's prophecy now, and everything ends here! Although the elder is dying, he is still quick-witted. His time is short, and he is the most decisive. I know the elder's heart , this kind of prophecy in the name of God is the most taboo for him..."

"Ah! Immortal Elder..."

Hearing this, Xiulot was terrified, and then realized what he was worrying about.

"grandfather..."

"It doesn't matter! The great elder is dying and often falls into a coma. It is difficult to manage affairs on weekdays, let alone summon others. Only Kakamazin, me, and Ugel can see and talk to him. That's all."

The high priest smiled calmly, recalling the experience of meeting the elders a few days ago, feeling vaguely moved.

"No matter how immortal the sun is, it will die one day!...Sholot, my child. Kakamazin has a good temperament and has a good impression of you. He is about to preside over your wedding. Ugel seems stubborn Stupid, but with hidden wisdom, favored by fate... No one will say anything about you, you just need to be patient and wait for your opportunity!..."

"Wait patiently?.."

Hearing this, Xiu Luote seemed to realize something, and listened carefully to his grandfather's instructions.

"Sholot, if the divine revelation you received is true, you can use this prophecy to do so... When everyone's expectations come true and the divine power is in your hands, you don't have to worry anymore..."

The high priest lowered his voice and ordered carefully.

Xiulot looked dignified and nodded slightly. After listening, he had some doubts and asked softly.

"Grandfather, if I do this, where will I leave you and the High Priest?"

"Haha, you don't need to worry about me!"

The high priest laughed and shook his head calmly. Then, he smiled frankly.

"Because at that time, I must be gone!..."

"Ah! Grandpa..."

The night is dark and the wind is slightly cold. When the candle is burned out, it will naturally go out. After a night of tossing and turning, the ten days passed in a hurry. Before I knew it, it was the auspicious day at the end of August, the wedding ceremony of His Royal Highness Shulot and Princess Alyssa!

Dawn is lit from the east, and hymns rise in the temples. The first prelude to the wedding ceremony is the celebration of the whole city!

From the early morning, under the guidance of community priests, the eighty Calpoli communities in the capital city of the lake held grand celebrations. The priests lit pleasant rosin and placed the free food given by the royal family. More than 200,000 people in the capital laughed and danced together, celebrating the whole day!

Today's celebration is the royal wedding, and it is also a day of celebration for young men and women. All the young men and women in the capital danced in groups, held arms intimately, and sang blessing songs! Shocking joyous songs reverberated in the capital, praising the most sacred wedding in the world, and praising the most honorable Bi people in the alliance!

The morning sun rises in the singing, and gradually climbs to the top. The second prelude to the wedding ceremony is presents from various states!

The envoy teams from all the states of the alliance and the ministries of the world, all under the leadership of the royal warriors, came all the way from outside the capital with boxes of precious gifts. They opened the box and displayed the luxurious gifts. Under the admiration and attention of thousands of people in the capital, they walked all the way from the outer civilian area to the central palace area.

The team in the Kingdom of the Lake is extremely long. Two thousand guard warriors came from the Baidi Long Bridge in the north, carrying hundreds of boxes of precious tributes of various colors, thousands of pairs of brand-new armor and weapons, and dragging forty huge bronze beasts. Under the golden sunlight, numerous bronze objects are shining brilliantly, very gorgeous, and especially eye-catching.

Crowds gather together, exclamating loudly, and the wide streets become narrow. The streets of the capital are lined with straight pines and cypresses, bright flowers are placed under the pines and cypresses, and bright cloaks hang from the pine branches! This is the traditional custom of the alliance, flowers symbolize beautiful love, and cloaks represent perfect marriage.

With a calm expression, Bertard led the kingdom's envoy team all the way to the center of the palace area, in front of the king's palace. The royal wedding is not held in the towering temple, but in the palace of the woman's father, the king.

The envoys from various states stopped outside the king's palace, leaving behind hundreds of boxes of gifts. Then, the warriors and servants who delivered the congratulatory gifts did not stop, and were led away by the royal warriors again. The representatives of envoys from various states entered the palace in order according to their closeness. They want to offer respectful blessings and precious gifts to the supreme King of Mexica!

As a representative of the Kingdom of the Lake, Berthard was the first to step into the palace. He looked calm, looking at the arrangements in the king's palace.

The king's palace is divided into upper and lower floors, and all the windows and curtains are opened, so that the envoys of various ministries who come in to offer gifts can salute the nobles in the palace.

King Avet's face remained calm, his spine straightened, and he sat high on the throne on the second floor of the King's Palace. His Highness Shulot was a little nervous, his eyes were slightly straightened, and he was sitting in the side hall on the left side of the first floor. Princess Alyssa has a beautiful smile, as beautiful as a lotus, sitting quietly in the side hall on the right side of the first floor.

At a glance, the three of them were all dressed in royal costumes and seated in the palace. Their seats are generally in the shape of a character, which symbolizes different status levels.

Berthard glanced at His Highness on the left quietly, then bowed his head to the ground. He held up a wooden casket in his hand, presenting the royal gift of the kingdom.

"Kingdom in the Lake, present several divinely inspired picture books, hundreds of exotic flowers and plants, a top-quality fire opal, a pigeon's blood ruby, and a pair of emerald jade bracelets!..."

The elder Kakamazin smiled kindly, standing in front of the king's palace. He received Berthard's congratulatory gift, recited it once, and asked the guards to collect the congratulatory gift and put it in the house of the newlyweds.

According to the traditional Mexican customs, the guests present gifts, usually after the marriage ceremony and before the second dinner, when the couple sit side by side on the table. However, this grand royal wedding is not only a simple wedding, but also an important ceremony that reveals the majesty of the royal family, so the link of presenting gifts from various states should be brought to the forefront.

Botard fell to the ground and saluted three times before standing up and standing on the left side of the palace. Next, the envoys of the great aristocrats from the states of the alliance went forward one by one, presented valuable gifts that could be obtained, saluted three times, and stood on the left and right sides of the palace. As for ordinary alliance nobles, they are not qualified to enter the palace to present gifts at all.

"Vastec Alliance, present a pair of flawless white jade, two feet-high corals, and ten pearls with big eyes!..."

The elder Kakamazin nodded slightly and waved lightly. The envoys of the Vastecs respectfully bowed to the ground and stood on the right side. In this kind of wedding ceremony, they will naturally not present all kinds of dancers and musicians as usual.

"Otomi Alliance, present a pair of white antlers, ten pieces of red fox fur, and ten catties of dried black feathers and jade!..."

After reading this, Kakamazin frowned slightly. The Otomi people are really poor, and the gifts they offer are all the specialties of the Northland. The color of the antlers and fox fur is pleasing, barely touching an auspicious edge. Wuyuyugan is a psychic thing, a precious religious medicinal material... Kakamazin waved his hand, and the envoy of the Otomi people quickly got up and stood aside in the sun.

"Mistec Alliance, present one golden tree, ten silver flowers, and one hundred Quetzal bird feathers!..."

Hearing the end, the envoys in the field were all amazed and moved. The Mixtec envoy raised his arms and saluted gracefully. The servants presented the magnificent golden tree and silver flowers, and the more precious quetzal bird feathers, one by one in front of everyone.

These quetzal bird feathers are not ordinary feathers, but the only pair of male quetzal bird feathers that can grow up to 90 centimeters, symbolizing the blessing of the gods. Every emerald-like tail feather is priceless, at least it can be exchanged for a catty of sand!

Kakamazin took a look and nodded with satisfaction. Afterwards, the Mixtec envoy was led to the right and stood under a good shade.

"Zapotec Alliance, offer a bag of gems, ten bags of rouge, and twenty bags of various spices!"

The Zapotec Alliance is located in the southern rainforest and produces gems, rouge and spices. Among them, the special cochineal dye is the most precious, and the price is quite high, which has always been loved by noble ladies.

Kakamazin also nodded and waved, letting the Zapotec envoys and Mixtec envoys stand together.

"Totonac Alliance, present the ancient Olmec pottery pot, which has the blessing of the ancient Ceres! This ancient magic weapon can make couples have a happy marriage and have more children!"

Kakamazin's expression remained unchanged, and he carefully picked up the ancient clay pot presented by the envoy. The shape of the clay pot is simple and simple, and many places have been polished extremely smooth. A corn-shaped deity is painted and carved on the outer wall, which indeed symbolizes the blessing of the God of Ceres.

"...The cunning Totonak people like to use these indistinguishable ancient relics to make up their numbers!"

Kakamazin cursed inwardly, but kept a smile on his face. He raised the ancient clay pot, showed it to everyone for a moment, and then asked the guards to put it away carefully. Then, envoy Totonak was led by the guards and stood under the sun with envoy Otomi.

"Union Terkos, present ten gold goblets, ten obsidian necklaces, and ten water opals!"

Kakamazin nodded slightly, and the Terkos envoy stood up respectfully, and stood cautiously beside him.

The so-called envoys of the Terkos Alliance are actually envoys from the Colima tribe in Fire River City. The Colima envoy came here this time not only to participate in His Highness's wedding, but also to inquire about the news and see the details of the Eastern Expedition of the Mexica Alliance.

"The Mayan city-state in the north, present ten bags of sacred smoke, ten bags of emeralds, and ten pieces of feathered costumes!"

Mayan merchant Tikalo knelt down and offered his congratulations respectfully. These gifts came from the Mayan business group, and presented in the name of the northern Mayan city-state. In fact, Ticaro, as the direct bloodline of the Cocom family, does have the territory claim of the large city-state Tutulxiu in the north of Yukutan.

Kakamazin waved again, and the Mayan envoy stood aside. So far, all the foreign envoys have presented their gifts.

Xiulot is sitting in the side hall, watching the foreign envoys in different costumes~lightnovelpub.net~ He suppressed the anxiety and excitement of the wedding, and fell into thinking about the current situation.

"...Not only did the envoys from the Tlaxcalans fail to come, but even the envoys from the holy city of Cholula did not come!...It seems that the news that the alliance is about to launch an Eastern Expedition really made the holy city of Cholula very angry. Dissatisfaction. The absence of the alliance's royal wedding is an expression of this dissatisfaction!..."

The envoys of various states looked at each other, and their expressions also changed. For such an important alliance celebration, representatives from the distant Tekos and Mayans came, but the nearby holy city of Cholula did not send envoys? !

Kakamazin frowned slightly, and regained his composure in an instant. Afterwards, his kind face became solemn, he raised the scepter in his hand high, and chanted a speech passionately.

"The gifts of all states are over, and the royal family is grateful!...The Lord God blesses, the ancestors bless, and the royal family holds a ceremony!...Under the blessings of the Lord God and ancestors, and under the witness of the descendants of the gods of the states, the heroic hummingbird perches on the Above the pure lotus!...The sacred and beautiful marriage is coming, just like the solid root system of a cactus, it will completely connect His Royal Highness Shulot and Princess Alyssa as one, and they will never be separated in this life!"
