Chapter 458: Solar Calendar

The land they were treading on was the land of America, and it was not difficult to guess the identity of the being in front of them, both in appearance and form.

There is no doubt that he should be the god of the common belief of Mesoamerican civilizations, Quetzalcoatl.

It was first seen in the Olmec civilization, and was later called Quezalcoyatl by the Aztecs, and Kukulkan by the Mayans.

It wasn't the first time Char had seen a god, so he felt very calm about the Quetzalcoatl God in front of him.

In fact, as He said, He was in a much worse state than the rest of the gods He had ever seen.

Because even the god of wine still has legends in this world, and as Europeans who claim to be the inheritors of Rome and Greeks, Greek legends are their childhood readings.

And in this era, no one would even know about Quetzalcoatl if there were no archaeologists excavating.

The Quetzalcoatl's primary authority in the past was wind and rain. But in the myths of different historical stages and civilizations, His authority has changed greatly.

In the Mayan civilization, his name was Kukulkan, and he was the Mayan deity who brought the rainy season and was associated with sowing, harvesting, and abundant harvests. In fact, it was an exotic, a northern deity brought by the Toltecs when they ruled the Mayan city. This Quetzalcoatl god is widely worshipped by the peoples of Central America.

According to legend, Quetzalcoatl ruled over the Morning Star, invented books, legislated, and brought corn to humans. Quetzalcoatl also represents death and rebirth, and is the protector of the priests.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different myths about Quetzalcoatl. It is known as a corn (grain) supplier, and it controls rainfall to provide water, leading some to believe that Quetzalcoatl is the god of plants.

In Mesoamerica, His presence can be equated with Zeus in Greek mythology and Odin in Norse mythology.

But at this moment He has lost his divine position, he has lost his person, but He is still a "dragon".

Yes, there is no doubt that this being in front of you can be defined as a "dragon".

As Char said before, the dragon and the god themselves are not so obviously different, and there is even some blood connection between them.

In addition to the dragons born to Tiamat, many dragons in Greek mythology are also related to the gods, such as the hundred-headed dragon Ladon.

Although his strength is far inferior to the past, his combat power at this moment is still comparable to that of ordinary gods.

"Who are you?" "Or, what is the purpose of waking me up from this long sleep?" ”

"An ordinary magician passing by, you can call me Merlin." Char said.

He raised his head and said with a kind smile on the corner of his mouth, "Let's make a deal, how about it?" ”

Quezal narrowed his eyes slightly, "What deal?" ”。

Char took the child's hand, "I want you to teach your magic to this child, and in return, you can make a request to me." Of course, it's not unconditional. ”

"In this world, it's always someone else who asks of me, not me who asks of others. ”

Char raised his eyebrows and said, "That's different, you may fulfill the requirements of the person you sacrificed, but I won't." There aren't many people in this world who can ask of me. ”

He looked at Alik and smiled, "You're right?" ”

Alik wiped the chin from his forehead and echoed, "Yes, yes." ”

He was nervous now, even though he was a magician who had been in contact with many mysteries, and had seen many magical creatures in the land of goblins, and even the two dragons that Isabel had raised when he was in school.

But even so, it can't compare to the existence in front of you.

The sense of oppression brought by this giant beast is really strong.

Even if you don't have the momentum on your body, this huge size alone can bring a great sense of oppression.

Quezal's face showed a hint of interest, "Why don't you teach him yourself, aren't you a magician?" ”

"My magic isn't for this kid." Char said.

In fact, there is another important reason for these children to learn dragon slaying magic with dragons.

The magic of transferring the power of the dragon from the dragon to the human body is, in a sense, to let the child have the blood of the corresponding dragon.

Dragons are also emotional, and as a very poor reproductive species, they value their offspring, especially in their infancy.

After more than ten years of getting along with the blood connection, there will inevitably be a bond, and this bond is the capital that binds these dragons to humans.

One of the more important reasons why Char chose Alik's grandson is actually because Alik is handsome, and his grandson is also cute.

Dragons also have a human form, so for them, the human aesthetic also applies.

"So is my magic appropriate?" Quezal quipped.

"I'll do magic." Char said truthfully, "You can transfer some of your dragon power to this child, planting it in his body like a seed, so that he can use the dragon's magic." ”

Quezal's eyes opened in surprise.

He had thought that the magician in front of him was a clown who didn't know the height of the sky, and in the past, he hadn't even been interested in talking to such a person.

But he had been asleep for a long time, and now he knew nothing about the outside world, and the magician in front of him could let him know about the outside world.

But now, he was somewhat impressed by the magician.

He looked Char up and down and said meaningfully.

"You know, what that means?"

"Yes." Char said without hesitation, "The dragon far away in the dragon realm is about to enter the human world, and the gods are also showing signs of recovery, and if humans want to protect themselves in such an environment, they always have to seek all the power they can seek." ”

Hearing this, Quezal slowly raised his head and looked up, but he was obviously not looking at the rock wall, but looking at the world through the layers of land.

His eyes were bright, like two moons in this dimly lit cavern, even brighter than the stars above.

Soon He came to his senses and continued.

"The world is really different"

"Before I fell asleep, the mystery of the whole world was fading at a rate that I could not comprehend." "I thought that everything related to magic would eventually disappear from this world. But now it's coming back again, and sometimes, even I can't see what the world is trying to do. ”

"Maybe it's some little old man's bad taste." Char laughed.

Quezal tilted his head a little inexplicably.

However, Char changed the subject and said, "If the gods really come back to this world, then they will inevitably choose to redistribute resources and the divine domain, if you are determined to grab it, it is better to cooperate directly with the humans." ”

Quezal raised the corners of his mouth, baring his fangs, "Won't I look for a stronger ally?" ”

"Gods?" Char sneered, "Do you think the gods will peacefully share the divine domain that they have defeated to you, or are you, the former god king, willing to become the main god in other people's god systems?" ”

After a pause, he said to himself, "Oh yes, maybe it's not even the main god, there is so much divine power, why should I give it to you, an outsider?" ”

Quezal stared at Char silently, "Can you represent humans?" ”

"Lord Merlin is the founder of the magical world, the end of the demonic path, and the source of all laws." Alik said seriously.

Quezal stared at Char silently, and after a moment he spoke.

"It looks like the magic in this world is declining very much."

Char smiled and disagreed.

Then, Quezal nodded, "If the kind of magic you're talking about is true, you can indeed be said to be at the end of the devil's path in this era. ”

He looked at Char, "Did you just say that you could make a request?" ”

Char nodded.

"My request may not be completed in a short period of time." Quezal laughed.

"The wizarding world believes in equivalent exchange, and if I don't fulfill your request, then you don't have to fulfill your promise."

"That's fair." Quezal nodded.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I want you to find a calendar stone, it is an Aztec stone carving, much like a disc, 3.6 meters in diameter and weighing 24 tons, it is a monument dedicated to the sun god by the Aztecs."

It was originally adorned on the walls of the temple of Notitlan, but I could feel that someone had vandalized the temple and that the calendar stone was nowhere to be found. ”

"That's it?" Char raised her eyebrows.

"It's not an easy thing to do." Quezal said quietly, "This world is bigger than you think, and the years are more cruel than you think, a stone carving with a diameter of 3.6 meters, after the changes of the years, may have long been integrated into the earth." ”

Char's eyes slowly lit up, and everything that happened in the whole world was in his eyes.

A moment later, raising his hand, the wand appeared in his hand, surging with the power of mana.

An esoteric teleportation circle appeared beside him, illuminating the realm with light, and a tall circular stone disk slowly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Is this the thing?"

When he saw the stone carving, Alik could clearly feel the momentary surprise in Quezal's expression.

He couldn't help but look at Char, "Where did you find it?" ”

"This land, of course." Char laughed.

This solar calendar was actually destroyed by Spain, and during the Spanish colonial period, thousands of Indians still worshipped this stone disk, and for a time it was buried under the main square in Mexico City, and was rediscovered in 1790 and stored in museums.

Of course, Char didn't know about it.

But he has clairvoyance, and everything "now" is under his watch, and he doesn't need to look for a needle in a haystack.

The Quetzalcoatl, who had just woken up from his long sleep, obviously didn't know that humans in this era attached great importance to historical objects, so Char first searched and checked from museums on the American continent.

The 3.6-meter stone carving is very large among cultural relics, so Char found the existence of the stone carving almost instantly.

After that, he used his very proficient spatial magic to teleport directly.

"If it weren't for my own request, I might have thought you were prepared." Quezar continued, "It seems that the person next to you is right, your magic attainments may really be able to stand in the first echelon. ”

He turned his head to look at the solar calendar beside Char and said slowly.

"This solar calendar, also known as the Aztec calendar, is named because the central Tonatiu, that is, around the sun god, is equipped with the Aztec calendar and the pictorial text and symbols related to cosmology, which represent the Aztec cosmology, so this solar stone plate is a symbol of Aztec culture.

Since the creation of the gods, the Aztecs have experienced four solar ages, which have been destroyed by wind, earth, water, and fire.

In the end, only the fifth sun, Tonatiu, was the victor and has been in motion, which is the solar era in which you live.

The sun in the center of the stone plate is the fifth sun; The above-mentioned 20-day images of the four suns are engraved on the market on the top, bottom, left and right. The fifth sun is carved around the sun's rays, precious stones, flowers, etc., and is a tribute to the new sun. ”

"And I, on the other hand, am the sun god of the Second Solar Age." Quezal said with his head raised slightly.

His power began to envelop the stone disk, which weighed dozens of tons and slowly floated above his head.

The space was even brighter, and when the solar almanac floated above his head, it seemed to become an earthly sun, and the humans below couldn't even open their eyes.

Char raised his hand and used his magic to protect the Alik family behind him.

The temperature around is gradually rising, and even the water flow on both sides has stopped flowing, and it has begun to be evaporated by the high temperature, forming water vapor, and the entire cave environment is as hot and dry as a boiler at the moment.

Although the solar calendar belongs to the fifth sun, Quezal can also use it as a "door" to channel part of the power of Quezal Koyatl, who is the root of the gods themselves.

The strong solar wind that raged in this cave reflected Kamui itself.

At the same time, it is also an Aztec calendar that shows everything in the world in the past and present.

Time passed in His eyes, history appeared before His eyes, everything that had happened in His mind during the millennia of years that He had been asleep.

Of course, thousands of years are nothing to God, but trivial things are still very troublesome to add up.

However, the solar calendar has the ability to self-sift, so what flashes in front of Quezal's eyes at this moment are the more important things that have happened in the past few thousand years.

For example, the demise or establishment of a country, or some other major events that have happened.

In fact, if Quezal is still a god-king, he can even use the calendar stone to make some prophecies.

In the past, the fifth sun god made a prophecy using the solar calendar.

He believed that the world would be destroyed on December 22, 2012, and that the Sixth Solar Age would reappear, and that was the time that Quezal had waited for as he went into his slumber.

But apparently, He woke up a little early.

But from the mouth of the magician in front of him, he could guess what the world was destroyed for.

If He really woke up at that time, maybe the world had already been assigned by the gods, and it might not be a bad thing to wake up early now.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at the human in front of him, who called himself Merlin (end of chapter)
