Aztec Eternals Chapter 521

The night was deep, and the darkness was like the sea falling from the sky, drowning everything silently. The little bonfires are lit in the capital city in the lake, like a small island in the sea, flickering with short-lived light. And the largest island in the dark sea is naturally the towering great temple, and the chief palace hidden behind.

At the top of the chief palace is a quaint and ancient hall, engraved with the vicissitudes of the past. Candles of fish oil are burning among the murals of the gods. The faint fragrance floated from the incense burner, like the undercurrent in the sea, and like the gentle caress of a jellyfish. And under the comfort of this silence, a thin, white-haired old man finally opened his eyes with difficulty from his deep slumber.

"it's dark..."

The elder stared at the sky at the zenith, and his eyes were filled with chaos and turbidity. He stared blankly for a long time, only to regain a little clarity, and let his eyes return to the depths.

"It's getting dark again..."

Shadow Guard Chief Chevalli pursed his lips, standing behind the elder's bed like a sculpture. He was holding the pottery pot that never seemed to be put down in his hand, and the sharp bronze axe around his waist. A few steps across from him was the elder priest, Ugel, with a towel in his hand and tears in his eyes.

The elder slowly opened his mouth and tasted the honey in his mouth. He sighed softly and asked in a weak voice.

"Chevali, did I sleep for one day or two?"

"Elder, you slept for a day."

Chevalli bowed his body, carefully lifted the elder up, and leaned against the thick cotton backrest.

"Before, Elder Wuger fed you some honey water, which added some salt and some processed avocados."

"Ok."

The elder nodded calmly. Then, he turned his head and stared at the bonfires all over the capital outside the window sill. After a long time, he looked at Uger who was standing on the other side.

"Ugel, you have a heart."

"Elder... woohoo!"

Ugel lowered his head, his voice trembling, and tears kept pouring out of his eyes. There was genuine sadness on his face, as well as fear and confusion about the future.

Since last December, after the king vowed to march east, the elders have been unable to get out of bed and cannot move at all. In March of this year, after the expansion of the Great Temple was completed, the elder fulfilled a long-cherished wish and fell into a coma from time to time. During the day he was asleep far more often than he was awake. By the end of May at this time, the elderly were too weak to eat, and could only survive by drinking carefully prepared honey water.

Seeing such a weakened elder, such a dim sun, even though Uger has always been afraid, he can't hide the sorrow in his heart! After all, since he was a boy, he has been following the elders and obeying their orders, and it has been almost forty years now! In these forty years, he has grown from a young priest apprentice to a priest and elder in the capital. The immortal elder has always been high above, which is the sustenance of all his reverence and reverence, and it is also his habitual reliance...

"Stop crying...I'm not dead yet."

Looking at Uger, who was crying like a child, a faint smile flashed on the face of the elder. Then, his face was calm, and he looked out the window again. Directly opposite the main hall is the expanded and more majestic Great Temple.

"Ugel, how long has it been since the expansion of the Great Temple was completed?"

"Six... sixty-three days."

Ugel raised his head and answered with tears in his eyes. Since the completion of the expansion of the Great Temple, the elders have always asked this question, asking about the past time. This seems to be an important node, deeply engraved in the elder's heart and in his life.

"It's been sixty-three days..."

The elder looked out the window for a while, and the Great Temple towered high in the darkness, sketching a vague outline. It is like a snake mountain where the **** of war inhabits, and it is like a staircase leading to the kingdom of God, which embodies the infinite faith of mortals. After a while, the elder slowly, slowly, lowered his eyes.

Uger wiped away his tears with a towel, put it back in the bamboo basket, and changed another one. He brought a lot of towels, mainly to serve the elders. Afterwards, he looked at the contemplative elder, and waited for two minutes before he was surprised to find that...

"what?"

"Shh, let the elder sleep for a while."

Shadow Chevali stretched out his hand and asked the elder priest to wait patiently.

"Uh... well."

Then, Ugel sat cross-legged on the ground, Chevali stood like a sculpture, and it was two hours in a flash. It was not until the night was deep, the darkness before dawn, that the elder woke up faintly and opened his eyes again.

"Ugel..."

Uger lowered his head, already asleep Han Han, and even drooled out. The weak voice of the elder did not wake him up at all.

The elder did not shout anymore. He just stared at the slightly fat face calmly, his eyes flickered slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Ok?"

A gust of night wind blew, brushing everyone's clothes, a little chill. Ugel suddenly shuddered, he opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the expressionless face of the elder, and the eyes as deep as the sea!

"Ah! Ah!...Elder, you...you're awake!"

Uger panicked, got up from the ground in a hurry, stood by the bed again, and wiped his saliva in a hurry.

The corners of the elder's mouth twitched slightly. He waited patiently, and asked lightly until Uger finished sorting out.

"How is the situation in the Eastern Expedition?"

"Reporting to the elders, everything went well in the Eastern Expedition!"

Uger's heart was pounding. He replied nervously and flustered.

"The two armies will conquer the important towns and enter the heart of Tlaxcala! King Avit has captured the God's Pass and Feathered Serpent City in the north, and is about to encircle the three snake cities. And His Royal Highness Shulot has captured the water valley in the south. City and Mountaintop City, dealing with the Holy City..."

"Holy City?"

"Yes, the holy city of Cholula. They also sent messengers to give me gifts... uh!"

Speaking of this, Ugel said for a while, and his face suddenly turned white.

"Ah...but...that...I didn't take it! I really didn't take it this time!"

The elder was expressionless and looked at Uger deeply. He didn't ask any further questions, and he didn't pay any attention to the elder priest who explained in a panic. He just pondered in his heart.

"The Holy City of Cholula... Holy City, Cholula!..."

The faint waves fluctuated in the heart of the elder, with the coldness of the deep sea and the hardness of the rocks on the bottom of the sea. Afterwards, a turbulent torrent rose from the abyss of the seabed, whirling silently, engulfing the fresh swimming fish in the sea into the bottomless darkness!

"Ok..."

After a long time, the elder lowered his eyes and said calmly to Uger.

"Uger, go back. From tomorrow, you won't come again."

"Ah? Elder! You... you... woohoo!..."

Uger's heart was shocked, and the chill came to his heart instantly. He threw himself to the side of the bed suddenly, hugging the old and thin arms of the elder, and repented bitterly.

"Uuuuu! Elder, I don't dare to accept bribes anymore... I really confiscate it!..."

The corners of the elder's mouth curled up again. He looked at Uger for a while without any disturbance, and then said slowly with a smile.

"Go back! From tomorrow, go to the High Priestess Corps and take care of all the academic affairs... If you can't, find other elders and ask them clearly... You still have time, you can study hard."

"Uuuu... ah?..."

Hearing this, Uger's cry suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked at the elder hesitantly.

"I... still have time?"

"Hmm~www.mtlnovel.com~ The elder slowly stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Uger's head. That hand was old and gray, without any strength, and seemed to have a huge weight.

"Go back. We can... see you again."

"what?!..."

Under the repeated shocks, Uger's mind was already blank. Under the guidance of Shadow Chevalli, he stood up in a daze and walked out of the dead silent and deep hall. The fresh wind was blowing from outside, and he was like a fat dolphin in the deep sea, suddenly jumping out of the water.

"This is..."

"Elder Uger. Please keep your mouth shut about everything today."

Shadow Chevali bowed slightly and bowed to Uger. Then, he turned around and returned, leaving only the slightly chubby elder priest, messed up in the wind alone.

The long wind blew the curtain of the gods, just like the dance of the gods ending, and also revealed the blurred face of the main god. The shadow stepped on the thick shadow and returned to the left and right of the elder, like a serpent protecting the Lord God, silent and silent.

"...Dawn, it's almost here..."

Suddenly, the old man lay back on the bed. He stared at the open ceiling and smelled the faint fragrance. The uncontrollable drowsiness hit my heart again, with the smell of death. And before falling asleep, he left the last sentence, low and emotionless.

"This evening, the high priest is invited."

"Follow your will, elder."

Shadow responded lowly. He hid behind the elder, stared at the old man, and slowly closed his eyes. Afterwards, the candles were blown out, and the deep dark sea came in again. In the darkness before dawn, the last vitality was engulfed~Click to download the APP of this site, massive novels, free Read on!
