Chapter 733: The Seven Golden Cities of Sivola

……

After glancing up at the golden idol standing on the obsidian altar, he silently walked out of the huge stone gate of the temple facing the square and came to the square circular cloister supported by 12 stone pillars.

Ivanka Trump is being held here by two Native Americans.

Looking at Ivanka, who was kneeling on the stone platform with her hands tied behind her back, Liu Dong quietly walked over from behind.

After approaching two meters, Liu Dong exerted force under his feet, and the whole person came behind the two natives like lightning like gliding, and the two hands behind his left hand held his strength, and spit on the jade pillow point behind their heads, and the two of them almost didn't even snort, and they had already fallen softly.

Seeing this abnormality, Ivanka immediately raised her head after being alarmed.

When she saw Liu Dong behind her, the beauty showed indescribable excitement and excitement on her face, and her eyes were full of tears, but her mouth was firmly blocked by a strip of cloth, making it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Dong hurriedly took out the strip of cloth that was blocked in her mouth, and at the same time cut the rope tied to her hands behind her back.

"Wow......!"

Ivanka, who was frightened and aggrieved, immediately threw herself into Liu Dong's arms and cried bitterly as soon as she was free.

She has been the little princess of the family since she was a child, although she is more self-reliant under the education of her parents, but she has never encountered a threat of life and death, and this time it really frightened her.

But Liu Dong quickly covered the other party's mouth, and then whispered in his ear: "My little aunt, don't make a sound, there are many people down there!"

Once reminded by Liu Dong. Ivanka also immediately thought of the current situation of the two. There was a hint of fear in his eyes. Then he nodded lightly at Liu Dong.

Seeing this, Liu Dong also put down his hand hurriedly.

"Liu Dong, I knew you would come to save me!"

Ivanka hugged Liu Dong's arm tightly, as if she had found her most solid support.

"Of course I'll come to save you, but how did you get caught by them, didn't I tell you to hide in the cave and not come out?" Liu Dong whispered.

Ivanka's face flushed, "I'm afraid of snakes." There's a snake in that cave!"

Liu Dong was speechless for a while, it is estimated that most of this person is scaring himself, when he left Ivanka in the cave, he had already used the relics to search the surrounding 500 meters, especially in the cave, and there were no rattlesnakes at all!

Of course, now that all is in the past, it's useless to say more.

"Let's go!" Liu Dong said.

"Hmm!" Ivanka nodded obediently!

She had long wanted to leave this hellish place.

However, the natives in the square noticed that they could only leave from the back of the temple, but when they walked into the temple, Ivanka also noticed the golden statue of the god enshrined on the obsidian platform in the center of the temple!

"Huh?"

"How. Do you know?" looked at Ivanka's curious look, Liu Dong couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm!"

Ivanka nodded. "The name of this idol is 'Shilone', and it is the corn god of the Aztec civilization!"

"Aztec civilization?"

Liu Dong is no stranger to this famous ancient civilization in the Americas.

The Aztec civilization is an ancient Mexican civilization that existed from the 14th century to the 16th century, and is known as the three ancient civilizations of Central and South America along with the Inca civilization and the Mayan civilization.

The Aztecs were the last characters on the stage of ancient Mexican culture, and they created the glorious Aztec civilization and ushered in the most prosperous period of the Aztec people.

It's a pity that this civilization was destroyed by Spanish colonizers from Europe and the 'smallpox' virus in its most glorious period!

Looking at the look of surprise on Liu Dong's face, Ivanka suddenly became excited, "Liu Dong, I know, I know!"

"What do you know?"

It was the first time for Liu Dong to see the somewhat quiet Ivanka so excited, and he almost caught up with the level of hand dancing.

"This is 'Aztlan', this must be 'Aztlan'!" Ivanka had a frenzied look on her face.

"Ivanka, calm down!"

But Liu Dong's reminders and reassurances had little effect, and Ivanka had clearly fallen into excitement and frenzy.

So after shouting two sentences, Liu Dong didn't say anything anymore, and let Ivanka tell the information he knew about Aztlan like a cannon.

……

The Aztecs were a low-developed Nahua tribe that rose to prominence by absorbing and incorporating other Indian cultural traditions in the region.

In the 11th ~ 12th centuries AD, it moved from the north to the central valley of Mexico, and in 1325 the city of Tenochtitlan was built on the western island of Lake Texcoco. In 1426, the Aztecs, Texcoco and Tlakopan formed the "Aztec League", led by the Aztec king Izkoatl, and their power grew and established their hegemony in the valley.

By the beginning of the 16th century, its territory had reached the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific coast from east to west, bordering Cechimec to the north, and to present-day Guatemala in the south, with a population of about 3 million.

In August 1521, the Spaniards captured Tenochtitlan, massacred and destroyed the city, and founded Mexico City on its ruins.

“…… After the Spaniards destroyed Miè Tenochtitlan, they did not find the treasure that the Aztecs had accumulated over the centuries, and they later learned from the mouth of an Aztec nobleman that the treasures of the Empire were hidden in their holy place 'Aztlan'!" Ivanka excited.

“…… After that, after the Spaniards gained hegemony in Central America, they never gave up their search for 'Aztlan', because in this holy city of the Aztecs there are not only all the treasures of the Aztec civilization, but also the secrets of the seven golden cities of Ciphora!"

"The Seven Golden Cities of Seevora?" Liu Dong is also very sensitive to the word treasure now, because treasure is wealth, and the pursuit of wealth is human nature.

"That's right!" Ivanka excited.

"Around the 8th century, the Arabs of North Africa organized armies to cross the Strait of Gibraltar and swept across Spain. When the Arab army attacked the city, seven bishops fled by boat to keep the city's ecclesiastical property from falling into the hands of the infidels. In order to escape the pursuit of the Arab navy, the seven bishops wandered aimlessly on the sea in a boat and finally disappeared into the vast sea. ”

A few years later, the news came that the seven bishops had sailed to an unknown and mysterious continent, and had built seven beautiful cities in the vast expanse of land with the gold and silver treasures they had brought with them, and the cities were full of gold and precious stones. Of these seven golden cities, two of them are called "Sivola" and "Kuivila". ”

"This legend has been prevalent on the European continent for centuries and has fascinated countless explorers. After Columbus discovered the New World, a large number of explorers traveled to the Americas. Even the founding of Arizona has to do with these seven golden cities!" Ivanka said.

"I guess these are all legends, if there really are these seven golden cities, how can it be that no one has found them until now!"

Liu Dong shook his head, there are many legends similar to treasures in history, such as "Marco Polo's Travels", there are rumors that Eastern China is full of gold and silver, but what about the facts?

Now Liu Dong has reason to suspect that the so-called Seven Golden Cities of Sivola are the same thing as "Marco Polo's Travels", and it is estimated that they are one of the means by which the ruler released them to drive adventurers to collect wealth for them.

Without the legend of these treasures, it is estimated that the development of the American continent would definitely not be as rapid as recorded in history.

Numerous facts have proven that the driving force of wealth is more effective than mere state decrees.

"I thought it was all legends before I came here, but you see the seven pyramids outside! According to the clues that the Spaniards found in the capital of the Aztec Empire, 'Tenochtitlan', the Aztecs destroyed seven wealthy cities in 'Galston Bay', and then ransacked the cities, they used these spoils to build the seven pyramids of the holy city of 'Aztlan'!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong frowned, he didn't pay attention just now, but now after listening to Ivanka, Liu Dong found that he found a lot of gold and silver utensils in this temple dedicated to the corn god 'Shilone', all of which have obvious European styles, and the vast palace on the east side of the seven pyramids outside has some European architectural styles, and it is obvious that the Aztecs have absorbed some culture from Europe in the process of civilization development!

Of course, as for whether it is the so-called 'Seven Golden Cities of Sivola' Liu Dong is still unknown, because more evidence is needed to prove it.

And just as Liu Dong was thinking, Ivanka had already walked to the golden mural next to him and looked at it.

"Liu Dong!"

"What's wrong?"

"Look, it's the language of the Aztecs!" Ivanka said, pointing to some small gold murals on the walls.

"Can you understand?" Liu Dong frowned, it was too difficult for him to understand these abstract hieroglyphs without any foundation.

"Well, I've learned some Aztec drawings and texts, so Ivanka knows some!" Ivanka excited.

"You still study ancient cultures?"

"A personal hobby!"

Perhaps seeing Liu Dong's surprise, Ivanka wrinkled her little nose proudly.

Liu Dong shook his head, a beautiful girl like Ivanka Trump, I'm afraid there are few who like to study complex and boring ancient culture! Of course, the one in front of her is an exception, looking at her full interest, it is estimated that she has forgotten that the two of them are in danger now.
