Latest website: The door of the stone prison opened, and there was a bright light outside the door. Mayan merchant Tikalo stood at the door of light, feeling the edge of the blade on his neck, his body trembling slightly. As a businessman who wanders among various forces and speaks better than an ax and spear, what he feels most helpless is when he encounters such unreasonable stubble, shouting and shouting, killing as soon as he says...

"...Uh... the testimony of the Heavenly Snake God! Dear Priest Papu, you can put down the sacrificial dagger first... between me and you! Actually... actually a potential ally!..."

"Huh? What? Potential allies?"

Hearing this, Papu Ji raised his eyebrows, obviously puzzled.

"Witness of the gods! Don't you hate me for attacking you? You still want to be an ally with me? What's the point?..."

"Cough! Priest Papu, I am a Mayan businessman, and everything has to look forward. Those past encounters have brought me losses. I have to think about making up for it in the future...and if you surrender Your Highness , the benefits it can bring to me are actually far better than letting you escape to Maya!..."

"...Well... you should be more careful! Then swear by your ancestors!"

"The ancestors testify! I'm telling the truth! I returned with the kingdom's fleet this time and made some mistakes. I really need to make a contribution to make up for it..."

Mayan merchant Tikalo's eyes flickered as he organized his words of persuasion. The matter of Prince Maya cannot be mentioned at all right now, otherwise it would be too tragic for the other party to take his own head and join the Xiwu family. He pondered for a moment, then said sincerely.

"My caravan, leaked the whereabouts of the fleet, was attacked by the navy of Hidden Snake City... and the two leaders of the fleet did not agree with me, so they will definitely push the responsibility to my head... So, I have to go back with great credit to regain power in front of His Highness! And what credit can compare to, say, the commander of the navy who brought down the Holy City of the Hidden Snake? As long as we plan together, even Ah, you can sneak into the Holy City and capture the chief priest of the sea... These are opportunities for you and me!..."

"Well, the captain of the fleet disagrees..."

Hearing this, Priest Pap's eyes moved, remembering the old story of Tikalo appearing alone to block the fleet, he believed it a little bit. Then, when he heard the following words, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression was suddenly surprised.

"You...what are you talking about?! Sneak attack on the holy city, arrest the chief priest of the seaside? This?...this kind of thing...how can I..."

"Witness of the Lord God! This is a great contribution! ... It belongs to you, and it belongs to me. With me, your contribution can be directly reported to His Highness the God of Death, and you don't need to worry about being taken away by anyone! And as long as you make such great achievements, are you afraid that there will be no rocks to stand on in the mountains of the kingdom?...Priest Papu, you and I are real potential allies!..."

Hearing this, Priest Pap lowered his eyes, his thoughts turned rapidly, but nothing showed on his face. He pondered silently for a while, then loosened his dagger slightly, and urged.

"go on!…"

"Yes!...As you know, I was born in the Mayan city-state in the east...Whether it is the Kingdom of the Lake, the Mexica Alliance, or the seashore...In fact, it is not my hometown, nor is it the place where I seek my future...I only The wandering old sea turtle, what he thinks about day and night, is to return to his homeland with glory, and even become the city lord of the city-state!..."

The Mayan merchant Ticaro had a sincere face, and his words were 90% true and 100% false, making it hard to tell what was wrong.

"His Highness Death God promised me when he was young that he would leave me a city-state to rule in the land of Maya... But for such a promise, you have to use the legion to truly defeat it! And several legion leaders of the kingdom, They all have their own direction to open up wars, and they have no interest in expeditions to the Mayan land at all... At that time, the power I can really seek will have to be found from the nearest seaside!...And you and your navy, are you not right? Is it an ally sent by the gods to form an alliance with me?"

"Me? Allying with you, going to Maya? Hiss! You mean..."

"That's right! Dear Priest Papu, you have offended many people from the alliance and the kingdom. If you really want to stay in the kingdom, the best choice... is naturally to take the kingdom's navy and use the kingdom's legion to conquer the east. Maya! Then, after defeating the Mayans along the coast, I will ask His Highness to form an alliance with you and guard a land for the kingdom together!... At that time, I will return to my hometown to be the city lord, and you will command the navy on the coast. How beautiful it is to be far away from the kingdom's right and wrong!..."

"Oh?! Lead the kingdom's legion to conquer the land of Maya, and then guard one side, away from the kingdom!..."

Hearing this long-term plan, Priest Pap's eyes changed, and he was obviously interested. If such a path can be passed through, it will indeed be the most beneficial to him! But to go this way, someone needs someone... He pondered for a while, then suddenly withdrew the dagger, and a smile appeared on his face.

"That's right! Blessed by the gods! Oh...blessed by the Lord God! Going to the land of Maya and spreading the glory of the Lord God...is indeed the best way out!"

"It's just that, Ticaro, are you really sure to persuade His Highness the God of Death? With his status, are you really willing to come to the front line and personally accept my surrender?"

"Ah?! Priest Papu...you...you actually want to surrender before His Highness the Death God comes to the front line?"

"Of course! I don't know any other people in the Lake Kingdom, and I don't know the tokens of the kingdom. At that time, you can carve some jade charms casually and trick me into offering sacrifices. Or the brutal leader of the Black Wolf Army will make a move. He intercepted and killed me casually... Should I go to the black abyss and cry to the monsters in the ground?"

Speaking of this, Priest Pap frowned, his eyes full of vigilance. As a former high priest, he has seen a lot!

This kind of coaxing and murder has been done more than once for him, and he doesn't even need to do it himself. And the reason why he was able to firmly control the navy was precisely because many priests sent by the Holy City of the Hidden Snake tried every means to coax them into the front line and "sacrifice" heroically.

"As long as the king's flag of His Royal Highness Death appears in front of my eyes and in front of the Mexica Legion, I will immediately lead the navy and surrender! Because only the public promise of surrender made by His Royal Highness is my Guarantee of life! The reputation of His Majesty the God of Death is much more important than me as a little priest! His reputation will not be wasted on me, it must be..."

"Lord God! Let His Highness personally accept the surrender?!"

Hearing this, the Mayan merchant Tikalo trembled slightly. He was a little inconceivable, looking into Priest Pap's eyes, and asked back.

"His Royal Highness's status is so precious~lightnovelpub.net~ How can he easily come to the dangerous front line? If you attack His Highness by surprise, wouldn't that give you a chance to turn around?!"

"Well... I think about it, it doesn't have to be the front line. I can take the navy and go to a certain coast in the west to wait... His Highness Death God just needs to bring the legion, appear from a distance, and raise the king's flag! I will I will immediately land on the shore and surrender to His Highness on my knees!..."

Speaking of which, Priest Pap touched his chin and looked at Tikalo carefully, with murderous intent hidden in his words.

"How is it? Ticaro, are you sure you can convince His Highness?!"

"I…"

The Mayan businessman Tikalo narrowed his eyes, looked at Priest Pap's expression with murderous intent, and was keenly aware of death. He thought quickly, pondering over how to reply in order to win the trust of the suspicious counterparty. After a while, he nodded slightly, with a solemn face, and made an oath with his fists in his heart.

"The Heavenly Snake God witnesses! The ancestors witness! I will do my best to give you a try!"
