Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 137 Aboriginal Kingship, the Golden Code

Under the same sunlight that is gradually setting.

More than a hundred kilometers away, on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco, the capital of the Azca Empire, Tenochtitlan, was shrouded in a faint blood-red color.

"The Lord of the Flayed! Xipetotec!"

"The Lord of the Flayed! Xipe-Totec."

In the temple in the center of the city, the name of a god is heard by the mountains and rivers.

Every time a sacrifice was skinned and offered as a sacrifice, the shaman and the city-state residents who took turns presiding over the ceremony would repeat this name.

The ongoing blood sacrifice began with the skinning of three beautiful princesses of the Taya Empire and has been going on for more than a month.

Hundreds of people were sacrificed every day, making the entire city-state full of the smell of blood.

At the same time, it is bounded by Lake Texcoco.

Similar ceremonies were held in Tenochtitlan, the royal city on the small island in the center of the lake, Texcoco on the east coast, and Tlacopan on the west coast.

In fact, the core of the entire empire was a tripartite military alliance formed by these three city-states.

All other city-states or tribes conquered by them were required to pay tribute, offer sacrifices and undertake the obligation to send troops to the tripartite military alliance.

In this tripartite military alliance, Tenochtitlan held a dominant position, and its monarch was the nominal emperor of the entire empire.

With a very fragile royal power, he ruled all 371 city-states of the Azik Empire, with a population of tens of millions.

A solemn and majestic stone palace.

In the eyes of an Eagle Spirit Warrior who was closely guarding the Emperor's bedroom, a faint pale blue light flashed.

The dominant person in the body quietly switches.

Byron moved his body, which was a little stiff from standing for a long time, and turned his head to look in the direction of his original body.

"Geronimo is an old man, but he still has such a bad temper and even breathes heavily when he speaks.

[Cursed Spirit: Tarsal God] is very terrifying.

But when attacking the Castilian bridgehead, he had been killed once by a chaplain in the official expedition team using the [Fragment of the True Cross] as a relic.

So far, I still haven't heard that it has revived. Tarasco City and the Azik Empire should be safe. "

As the plan approached, other members of the Skinning Church had already split up and infiltrated the expeditionary forces of various city-states of the Taya Empire.

Only the human skin draped on the body of [Falcon] Alvin belonged to an eagle spirit warrior from the Royal City of Azik.

As the personal bodyguard of the "Queen", Beatrice returned to the royal city of Tenochtitlan with Cortes, who had spent a night with the Conqueror before leaving.

However, the destination of the Hastings coalition forces that had just set up camp was not here.

Their main purpose was to take advantage of the Castilians, and the remaining two states, Texcoco and Tlacopan, were their primary targets.

As tribute-paying entities in the Azik ruling system, they each accounted for 40%, 40%, and 20% of the empire's tribute.

After hundreds and thousands of years of accumulation, the three city-states are absolutely the most abundant in terms of population and gold, silver and treasures.

Although treasure and land are not the main goal, who would refuse to make a fortune?
The goal set by the Hastings was to avoid the attack of Castile and go straight to Tlacopan, the smallest of the three city-states located on the west coast.

The Castilians and the natives of the royal city were restraining each other, which made it easier for them to take action.

Moreover, we must act quickly and at the right time, otherwise, if other major forces get ahead of us, everyone will regret it.

If they acted quickly enough, after taking over Tlacopan, they might be able to get a piece of the pie from the royal city in the center of the lake.

At that time, the nail that Byron had planted in advance would really start to take advantage of the situation and make people bleed.

He quietly activated [Son of Storm], and the wind from all directions immediately brought the sounds of playing in the water and the soft music in the emperor's bedroom behind him clearly into his ears.

“Those imperial nobles and priests only trouble you with everything, unlike me who only care about your majesty.

Come and catch me, as long as you catch me, I will let you do whatever you want today."

"Hahaha, my beauty, my sweetheart, don't run away, taste the power of my mummy powder."

With the help of the ubiquitous wind as a touchpoint, Byron even had a vague picture emerging in his mind.

The "Enchantress of Change" who combines the advantages of hundreds of beauties and directly hits the aesthetic taste of Montezuma II, has a body as smooth as satin adorned with only a few shining gold ornaments.

When escaping in the bathtub, there are waves of waves, and people's hearts are also surging
Byron shook his head vigorously, throwing all these useless things out of [Falcon] Alvin's head.

Yes, it's Alvin's head. Although I write a diary, I am a recognized serious person and have no interest in such things. This guy is the one who is disturbing me.

“The name Beatrice sounds nice, but she exudes a sense of forgiveness from head to toe.

He has mastered the art of scheming without any instruction. Such a person is not afraid of being wasted when he uses the beauty trap."

Before meeting Beatrice, Byron naively thought:
A honey trap is simply a way for an attractive woman to clearly mark a price for you and provide you with sensual pleasure in return for the price you pay for her.

I think that as a smart person with great power, once he weighs the pros and cons and finds that the price is unreasonable, he should immediately abandon it without hesitation.

It is really foolish to sacrifice a country for a beauty.

He also simply could not understand why there were so many idiots who fell into traps throughout history.

Only now did Byron realize that the real honey trap was this:

You think she is the one you will never meet again in your life, she is an incomparable treasure.

You are willing to protect her, cherish her, and save her.

You are willing to risk your life for her, even if you face dangers, your mind and eyes are filled with only her figure, and your heart only has the oath of love for her.

Even before death, he still felt satisfied.

Just because you thought you met true love!
“Beatrice’s professional ability is indeed strong, and [Conqueror] Cortes’ character is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It's a blessing for this pair of dogs to be together."

Unlike his former confidant [Falcon] Alvin, he would never cross the line unless Beatrice told him to do something.

Byron activated his ability to listen silently in the corner, and also captured the secrets of the two people at the core of the vortex, which they would only tell when they were completely relaxed in bed.

It was not until the clouds stopped and the rain ceased, and the two people in the bedroom turned into saints, that the topics they talked about finally cheered him up.

".Your Majesty, being with you is the happiest time of my life.

I want nothing, not your gold, not your palace, not even the title of Queen.

As long as I can be with you happily forever, I will be satisfied. "

"My queen, what nonsense are you talking about? As long as the blood feast for the Lord of Skinning is completed, I will obtain the Anchor that can reach the divine realm.

The first one to be anchored will be you, don’t you still believe in my love for you?"

"His Majesty."

Byron's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he finally discovered what the [Flayed Church] was trying to do by secretly instigating Emperor Azik to hold a large-scale blood sacrifice.

It stands to reason that the kings of the Old World cannot achieve immortality because they have no access to forbidden knowledge and cannot achieve the sublimation of the essence of life.

Then why can't the rulers of Azik and Taya Empire, who possess sufficient forbidden knowledge, do the same?
Although he was called the emperor, he did not have the divine authority and the [Silver Law] of the Old World to back him up, as the royal power was also declining.

After the extraordinary body system is integrated, it can all be explained by the theories of "divinity", "humanity" and "animality".

As the indigenous extraordinary people ascend, human nature continues to degenerate.

Ordinary totem poles, ladders, gods, and pyramids gradually became unable to stabilize their increasingly powerful spiritualities, and were naturally increasingly affected by the source tides.

Once you reach a certain level, you can’t even maintain your humanity, let alone achieve immortality.

The larger the size, the faster the fall.

This is how many half-human, half-beast evil spirits, monsters, and even [Cursed Spirits] that caused heavy casualties were born in the Bantaan Islands.

Until it reached the level of [Cursed Spirit].

The power may be strong or weak, but in terms of status, one can vaguely touch upon some "indescribable" things beyond the specifications.

Gained absolute immortality that cannot be killed in any way.

Obviously, the natives are not stupid and would never be deceived unless there is huge profit involved.

They wanted to use a massive blood sacrifice to make up for the shortcomings of their own extraordinary system.

"My queen, if you doubt my love for you, then I will leave this Golden Code that we created to you for safekeeping."

Byron heard this.

[Secret: The Mystery of the Blood Sacrifice of the Azik Empire, Historical Influence 27], the deciphering density jumped from the previous 26% to 58%.
