The moonlight is like water, falling on the long river, bright and clear without distinguishing each other. The bonfires blazed, illuminating the flat banks and the busy crowd.

Crocodile King Quinn led four hundred Mayan warriors and stood on the bank of the river, watching the transaction scene in person. Hundreds of Maya peasants lowered their heads, bowed their waists, and carried wide bamboo baskets, like obedient worker ants, at their beck and call. Basket after basket, they piled up all kinds of precious goods on the river bank in front of the long boat. And dozens of kingdom sailors also carried bags of expensive gems and put them on the other side of the river.

"Witness of the Lord God! For one bag of gems, for twelve baskets of salted fish...for ten bags of cocoa, for eight rolls of cotton cloth, for six bags of tobacco, for four jars of honey..."

The Mayan merchant Tikalo is familiar with the road, shouting the price of the goods, and presiding over the transactions between the two parties. Soon, baskets and baskets of goods were shipped onto the ship, and bags of gemstones in the lake with stable quality also flowed into the hands of Mayan nobles.

Hearing the bargain price, Crocodile King Ayin smiled and was quite satisfied. Red Lake Town is located in the lower reaches of the Red River, and it is a trading node for dozens of Mayan city-states in the upper reaches. The Mayan aristocrats of various states are high and never overthrown by ordinary people. Over the centuries, they have amassed vast fortunes that they have nowhere to spend. And the nobles' strong demand for gems has never been satisfied!

The gemstones in the lake are of high quality and can be used to decorate walls, make statues of gods, inlay clothes, teeth, wear around necks and arms, and offer them to gods in ceremonies, and be buried in tombs along with the descendants of gods. In other words, with so many gems in his hands, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them. The cheapness of this wave of gem fleets is nothing but nothing, earn once and eat for three years! ...

Thinking of this, Crocodile King Ayin turned his head, the jade nail hit his teeth, and whispered a few words. Chaha, the warrior leader, bowed to his orders, and then hurried away with a group of civilian men, as if to bring more goods.

"Dark Snake, why are you in a daze? Hurry up, buy all forty cans of honey! There are so many people, are you afraid you won't be able to finish them all?"

Chihuaco, an old militiaman, was thrusting his waist, holding a bronze spear, and waving his hands. His eyelids twitched, but there was no lake in his shout. To be honest, old man Qi has never been so arrogant in his whole life.

"Ten baskets of air-dried spices for six bags of lake gems? I bought it! Ten bags of crystal amber for ten bags of lake gems? I bought it!...Ten bags of pure jade for thirteen bags of lake gems? Why are you hesitating? Buy them all It's gone!...you stupid wood, if you don't buy all of these, will you be willing to let us go?...What? The price is not worth it? The Mayans are our brothers, so we have to buy it if it's not worth it!"

Dark Snake lowered his head, carefully holding a large jar of honey, and carried it to the boat. The Mayans mastered the technology of beekeeping, and the honey they produced was of high quality and sufficient quantity, and the price was much lower than that on the Mexican plateau. Such precious sweets, even if Atlixco City is still in the family's hands, he can only eat it during festivals.

"Such delicious honey... Even His Royal Highness the God of Death may not be able to eat it? Daddy Qi actually let us crew members eat freely... Woohoo, Daddy is so kind !"

Dark Snake quietly opened the pot a little, stretched out his fingers, stirred it vigorously, and then took it in his mouth and let out a few mouthfuls. The sweet taste burst into his heart immediately, making his eyes crooked with laughter. Sailor Didi squatted beside him, drooling and watching. He also carried a jar of honey, but he didn't have the guts to steal it.

"Come on, eat some too, it's mine!"

Dark Snake looked left and right, and the crew members were all looking at the river bank where the transaction was made, their eyes shining brightly. He simply lifted the Tao cover and handed the honey to Didi.

"Eat quickly, eat quickly! You must have never tasted such sweet honey!"

Sailor Didi stretched out his hand tremblingly, carefully dipped some honey, and ate it into his mouth. After a while, his eyes turned into stars, and the corners of his happy eyes overflowed with tears. He took another two bites, but suddenly he couldn't stand still, as if he was drunk.

"I...I'm a little dizzy..."

"Ha! Didi, it seems that you have never eaten such a sweet thing! Eat a little and you will faint!"

Dark Snake smiled, turned his head to look left and right, and then looked at the moon in the sky. The weather is fine tonight, and the evening wind is quiet and peaceful. Sailing out to sea can be so wonderful!

"The night is just right, and the fire is bright! Ordinary warriors will put me in leather armor, and warriors above the third level will change into bronze armor, ready to fight at any time! If these Mayans are ignorant, I will send them to see Mother Moon!"

On the flagship, Puap was wearing a bronze armor, carrying a big bow, straddling a copper axe, with a murderous look on his face. Behind him, dozens of Prepecha warriors were neatly dressed, ready to fight.

The brave gray-earth warrior watched for a while, then fixed his eyes on the strange-looking crocodile king A Yin. He closed one eye, gestured the distance, and frowned. He thought about it again, then looked to his side and asked in a deep voice.

"Look at that strange descendant of the god? The one with the strange shape and the magic staff! At this distance, who of you is sure that you can shoot it?"

All the warriors looked over and saw the Mayan chief who was more than a hundred steps away, they were all silent, only two archers stood up. Puap took a closer look and found that it was Kavador, a mountain bird from the Jorem tribe, and the surviving scout from Tiburon Island. The toad is gratifying. On the other hand, the Silver Crow Warrior Osprey opened his mouth, looked at the big bow he was not yet fully familiar with, and said nothing.

"Okay! Mountain Bird, Toad, both of you are ready! If the other party is ready to attack, shoot the arrows together and shoot the crocodile **** descendant to death!"

The two sharpshooters nodded silently, holding the big bow in one hand and holding the copper arrow in the other, secretly adjusting their breathing. A Yin, the crocodile king on the shore, seemed to sense something, and glanced at the boat. Soon, he was staring at the armor, the big bow and the copper ax of the warriors on board, thoughtfully.

"Hmm... These warriors from the Tiger Tribe look like they can fight! These armors and weapons..."

The crocodile king Ayin estimated the number of warriors who got off the boat, and he felt more apprehensive. At this moment, the shore's transaction has roughly ended. The Mayans were exchanging precious cinnabar, gold and silver grains for gems of equal weight. And there are not many expensive goods like this, and if you change it to two thousand catties, it will be almost the end.

"Friends from the Tiger Tribe! Your armor and weapons seem extraordinary..."

Crocodile King A Yin smiled and pointed to the boat.

"The Moon Goddess is watching us! Can you show me your armor and weapons?"

"Um?..."

The old militiaman Chihuaco pondered for a while, then answered with a smile.

"Respected Chief Ayin, Mother Moon is witness! Our friendship is endless. On behalf of the fleet, I can give you five bronze spears, two bronze axes, and a crocodile leather armor!"

"Oh? Not bad, very good!"

Crocodile King A Yin nodded in satisfaction. But in a short while, a sailor from the kingdom came in a hurry and handed over the weapons and armor to the guards of the Mayan chief. Crocodile King Ayin touched the hardness of the leather armor and raised his eyebrows. Then he tried the edge of the spear again, and it plunged into the earth. The crocodile king A Yin's eyes flickered, he picked up the bronze axe, and ordered the Mayan warriors to pick up the flint dagger. When the two confronted each other, the pointed end of the short knife broke after a short pause, while the bronze ax blade remained unscathed.

"hiss!"

Crocodile King Ayin suddenly changed color. He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, there was already a kind and sincere smile.

"Haha! You are indeed a warrior of the God of War, a voyager who shoulders the will of God! These equipments are really enviable!...Praise the God of War in Mexica!"

"Praise the Lord God! Praise the Mother Goddess of the Moon! Gods testify that we are all friends!"

The old militiaman nodded with a smile and responded with a few words. Then, the two sides suddenly became quiet, as if no one had the interest to speak.

The long river gradually flows, and the flames flicker faintly. When the transaction was completed, Chaha, the warrior leader, appeared again, but there were more than 300 Mayan warriors behind him. Seeing this scene, on the seven longships, the kingdom warriors of the brigade all appeared, all wearing armor and holding bows, waiting cautiously.

"Blessed by the moon god! Chief, I have brought enough warriors. We..."

"Um!"

Crocodile King A Yin raised his palm and waved his hand lightly. Then, with a serious expression and a smile on his face, he looked at the fleet after the transaction and spoke kindly.

"Tiger Tribe is our friend! Let us sing and dance to send our friends away!"

The long river is long, and the sound of farewell singing and dancing echoes on the bank. The warrior leader, Chaha, held a spear and danced a farewell war dance, imitating the chirping of an owl. The crocodile king A Yin raised his scepter to signal, and the main **** priest Tomat also raised his scepter to respond. There were satisfied smiles on the faces of more than a dozen Mayan nobles. Each of them has a bag of gemstones presented by the fleet, and a copy of the Lord God's "Ari Book".

Dark Snake was holding the honey pot, looking at the people on the shore who were sending them off sincerely, feeling full of emotion in his heart.

"What a simple Maya! What a kind and hospitable god-born nobleman!"

Priest Tomat stood at the bow of the boat, watching the approaching coast and the Mayan people slowly going away. The bright moon is gradually setting, and the morning sun is rising in the morning light.

"Your Highness said that the world is bustling, and everyone comes and goes for the sake of profit. Priests guide everyone, so they should make the best use of the situation, and give both kindness and power!...Phew! This meeting, being able to retreat completely, is really the blessing of the Lord God!"

Priest Tomat raised his head slightly, looked at the rising sun in the east, prayed silently for a moment, and then recited a scripture marked by His Highness.

"It's a pity! The Lord God cherishes the world and bestows divinity in everyone's hearts. The people don't want to become demons at first~lightnovelpub.net~ But they are always unable to restrain themselves because of their desire for material things, and they often become demons before they know it! "

Hearing this scripture, Mayatikalo raised her brows and lowered her eyes. He sighed, looking at the hopeful red sun, whispering in his heart.

"...If you don't become a demon, how can you live? I have put my life on the line, and I will be with you this trip! The Lord God bless you!"

Silent and audible prayers are all dissipated in the breeze of Haikou. And in the corner of the fleet, Dark Snake and Didi were hugging the honey pot, like two mice, eating happily. The old militiaman Chihuaco looked at the two young men stealing their mouths from a long distance, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Ha, let's go forward! When you encounter a stone, you kick it away; when you encounter a puddle, you step over the puddle. People who are alive will never be suffocated by urine... and go forward, No need to look back!"

Further ahead, Puap was standing at the bow, still wearing armor. The brave gray warrior did not look back. He gritted his teeth, looked at the sea and sky in the east, and muttered fiercely.

"Heavenly Serpent Goddess, Xiwu Family...Your Master Huitu is coming!"
