Text: Twilight Chapter 3: Quetzalcoatl

"Führer, do you believe in God?" James stared at the sky.

"I believe in Jesus, He is my true God, but I don't believe in Christianity, I prefer to be a Catholic." Hitler used the softest tone he could.

"Next, I will explain to the Führer all the findings of my investigation in Guatemala."

June 1838 Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

James is the leader of the archaeological team for the exploration of the ancient Mayan ruins in the Americas, and the archaeological team has been in Mexico for more than a month, groping through the foothills and tropical rainforests every day, due to the humidity of the weather and the malaria unique to the hot and humid zone, many of the archaeological team members have been overwhelmed.

"Team leader, is it really possible for us to find 'Quetzalcoatl' if we move forward like this?" Dallas asked.

Dallas is a trainee for James' team, a first-year student at the University of Munich, and a volunteer explorer for an archaeological project.

Hitler, as an unscrupulous war maniac and also a lover of the supernatural, has sent many expeditions to the world in the past 10 years, including those who went to Tibet to find Shambhala and Central Asia to find the 'Thousand Pillars', and James was one of the teams that went to the Americas to find the Mayan 'lost city' on Hitler's orders.

"It is recorded in ancient books that 'Snake Feather City' is somewhere in Chichen Itza, and it is absolutely impossible to escape from this forest." James replied firmly.

Dallas had a bitter face: "But our team is running out of ammunition, the team members are already tired and unpresentable, and some of our comrades have even contracted malaria, we really can't go any further." ”

"Dallas, I remind you, our Führer is Hitler, and if we don't get some results out of this, we will go to him, do you think we won't be sent to concentration camps?" James asked Dallas seriously.

Dallas was silent.

The pace was moving among the grass and thorny vines, the hot and humid air made it feel like being in a furnace, and the strange shape of the rocks was commonplace for the expedition, which sat down by a river.

"I'm going to fetch the water leader," Dallas picked up James' kettle and ran to the river.

Dallas came to the river, leaned down to fill the kettle, and looked around absentmindedly, a silver light flashed into Dallas's eyeball, and Dallas reached into the river to remove the branch, which turned out to be a silver ornament with the mark of a flying snake engraved on it.

"Wow, take it back and show it off to everyone." Dallas was smug.

"Come and see, I've picked up a baby." Dallas ran to the archaeological team, which was resting.

"What is it, take it and take a look." The archaeological team members looked expectant.

"This one I just picked up while fetching water from the river." Dallas held up his small silver ornament.

James suddenly jumped up and dragged the ornament in Dallas's hand, his eyes widened, and his expression was nervous, "Dallas, where did you find it?" ”

Dallas was stunned for a moment by James's sudden action before replying, "In the pile of branches by the river." ”

James was extremely happy, looking up to the sky and laughing, "Hahahaha, it didn't take much effort to get here." ”

The archaeological team members were all stunned, not knowing what happened to the team leader in front of them.

"Let's go, let's go upstream, I think we've found the Lost City."

The archaeologists stood up and asked James why he was so sure of the location of the Lost City.

"What Dallas picked up is not an ordinary ornament, this is the sacrifice of the Mayans in the 8th century BC, I guess there may be a sacrificial point upstream, if we find a sacrificial point, we will also find Quetzalcoatl."

James's energy was high, and he walked three kilometers upstream, and sure enough, he found a large patio surrounded by clear bricks on the edge, and the patio was already full of branches under the erosion of years and months.

Dallas was staring into the patio in a daze, when he was suddenly startled by the sudden James on the shoulder, and almost slipped.

"Young man, this is not an ordinary fetch of water, this is a sacrifice to people, the ancient Maya is not more merciful, the sacrifice of those who decide to sacrifice will be pushed down, they think that in this way they can ask for the blessing of the gods." James began to explain to Dallas.

Dallas shuddered and stepped back, trying to keep up with the rest of the team.

James used his knife to avoid the intertwined vines, and finally carved a path through the wilderness, and the boulder steps could already be seen, ancient but still imposing.

James walked up the stairs and introduced the ancient gold towers, tall square pyramids, leading in all directions on the bluestone paved passages, eagles screaming at the top of the towers, jaguars haunting the stone gates of the palace, ancient buildings full of vines, completely one with nature, and the former glory is still touching despite the passage of time.

James turned to the archaeological team members, "Everyone, welcome to Quetzalcoatl, we will be the first explorers in the world to discover the ancient monuments of the Maya, the Führer will be proud of us, and our families will be proud of us." ”

All the team members exploded in an instant, the atmosphere burned to the extreme, and their palms propped up to the sky, "Long live the Führer, long live Hitler." ”

"Then let's go into Quetzalcoatl City to unveil the thousand-year-old city." James waved his hat and assumed the posture of aristocratic court etiquette, although the archaeological costume did not match, the momentum could not be concealed.

James turned around in a dashing manner, all his movements were so crisp and neat, without any mud and water, still walking down the boulder steps with his slow steps and into the arch of 'Quetzalcoatl'.
