Chapter 103: The Bloody Case Caused by the Eclipse

The palace guards took the axe, and a long time later, the little slave owner Tasa was summoned by Capac III, the son of the sun god.

The axe did surprise Capac III, and although he summoned the best artisan slaves in the empire, he didn't know what it was made of, and would easily cut the copper knife off.

During this period, the Incas had a more developed metal processing industry, and they not only knew how to smelt gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, and mercury, but also smelted various alloys, and knew how to use mercury to purify gold.

Gold and silver are mainly used to make ornaments and works of art, while copper and its alloys are mainly used to make weapons, household utensils, and sharpened tools.

However, like the Mayans and Aztecs, the Incas were unaware of the existence of iron------ although they mastered many metalworking techniques, such as casting, forging, molding, stamping, inlaying, riveting, welding, etc.

Tasa, the young slave owner, reverently visited Capac III and slowly recounted his experience.

Attacking grass, palace-like ships, light in crystal bottles that illuminate the night------ and weapons that can emit lightning and thunder!

Capac III thought for a long time and said, "Then why didn't they come to me, the son of the sun god, and offer me their things?" ”

"------ they can't find their way here."

"Haha, they're lost messengers?!"

Seeing that he was burly and fully supportive of his policies, Capac III had a heart for acceptance.

"I want you to be my guard officer, you can stand by my side and serve me------ by the way, you can choose some people from my guards, wait for the end of the great sacrifice in two days, you take them to pick up those lost messengers, I want to take a good look at them, so that they have a chance to serve me."

Tassa trembled with excitement, he succeeded, he finally became a close vassal of Capac III, the son of the sun god!

In one of the secret rooms of the shrine, the high priest said to General Daman: "------ will be held in two days, and by noon the sun god will be eroded by demons------ the sun god's sacred sun will be dark for a moment------ slaves will be terrified, and something may ------"

General Dammam said respectfully: "My mother asked me to show respect to the high priest on her behalf, and likewise considered it a blasphe------my to give the heart and blood of animals and savages."

The High Priest smiled mysteriously and said, "Go ahead, I'll get the oracle------ and the oracle will appear after you've done everything." ”

General Dammam respectfully retreated.

He was the younger half-brother of Capac III, handsome and tall, and some nobles and slave owners privately considered him more capable than Capac III.

The reason is simple: General Daman has always supported foreign conquests, which has won the approval of some young nobles and slave owners, so that more slaves and wealth can be obtained------ most of which are now in the homes of old nobles and slave owners.

However, Capac III has always stopped the war, believing that the country's grain harvest has failed year after year, which shows that the sun god does not want to go to war with foreign countries.

Slowly, without the knowledge of Capac III, a force organization that overthrew Capac III was quietly formed.

It's just that the person is the successor personally appointed by the second emperor, and it has legitimacy, and it is impossible to be overthrown rashly------ but if the high priest participates and grants them the oracle of the sun god, believing that it is the will of the gods to replace him, then everything will be different.

General Daman returned to his mother's palace, and after a long discussion between mother and son, he left to talk to the officers in the army who were loyal to him.

The whole city of Cusk was in turmoil for a while, but Capac III, who was in the center, did not know anything about it.

He was leading his eldest son, Prince Sapa, to watch the Tasa guards fight with the guards.

Sooner or later, Prince Sapa will become Capac IV's.

The Tasa Guard's axe played a huge role, and he swung it with ease, constantly cutting off the spears of the guards, and if it were on a real battlefield, those people's heads would have been easily cut off!

Capac III had heard from the Tasa guards that those men had many of these weapons, but they were only used to cut down trees------ which was a pity.

Two days later, the festival was held as scheduled.

The captured savage youths, tied together in strings and painted with blue paint by the sacrificial attendants------

This blue paint is actually copper oxide, indicating that they would be sacrificed to the sun god.

Only valiant warriors can paint white, which is actually lime.

When the time came, the first group of savage youths was escorted to the high altar.

On top of the altar was a large polished stone bed.

The two sacrificial attendants grabbed the hands and feet of the savage youth back and forth, and then the high priest held the bronze sword high in both hands, and he shouted a spell to the sun that no one could understand, as if he was really communicating with the sun god.

The altar was surrounded by nobles and slave owners from all over the city.

Capac III took his queen and son to sit on a high platform.

The Tassar guard stood proudly beside Capac III with an axe, and his people were so proud of him that many of them crowded around the high platform to peek at his majesty.

When the sacrifice began, they all listened solemnly as the high priest shouted his incantation.

Capac III's half-brother, General Daman, stood in a corner, quietly glancing at one of the guards next to Capac III.

The guard was a little nervous, and gripped something in his hand.

General Daman's own mother, wearing a head full of gold ornaments, sat upright like a golden man, and she glanced at Capac III's own mother------ the old woman had more gold ornaments than hers, and the handmaidens around her were also covered with gold ornaments!

In the Inca culture, gold was only an ornament and a sacrificial object, and they never had the concept of money.

After the high priest on the high altar shouted words that no one could understand, he raised his hands, held the copper knife, and stabbed it into the heart of the savage young man, cut a big hole, and casually pulled out the heart!

Because of the speed and skill, the heartbeat muscle of the heart is not dead------ the heart is still beating in his hand!

It was an oracle that meant that the sun god had accepted his sacrifice.

Then a priest cut off the young man's head and kicked him off the altar, causing it to roll down the high steps!

Under the altar, two sacrificial attendants held a sackcloth to catch it.

The decapitated corpse was thrown directly from the altar.

Every time the head scrolls down, it will cause the nobles and slave owners to cheer, is there a better show in the world?!

Prince Sapa sat in his chair, he had actually watched this scene the next day, and he was a little frightened.

When he saw the Tasa guard with an axe beside him, his expression seemed to be relaxed.

The festival gradually entered its climax------ and the sun was approaching noon.

At this time, there was a solar eclipse of the sun, and people clearly saw that a shadow from unknown sources obscured the sun, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

The terrible incantation of the Great Priest sounded again!

General Dammam nodded at the guard------ one of the guards next to Capac III suddenly raised a short blowpipe in his hand, and with a "poof", a small arrow flew towards Capac III, piercing him exactly into the neck.

At this time, almost everyone is looking at the sky.

The small arrow must have been coated with the venom of the arrow frog------ and within seconds, Capac III was stiff and suffocated to death.

The people on the high platform are all messed up------
