Byron could not learn the unconditional tame of Alvin the Falcon, and could only play a loyal admirer in another way.

I didn't expect Beatrice to seem to have any quirky fetishes.

turned out to be "hard and not soft", and his attitude towards him was obviously much better.

has even silently expanded the scope of "use" of his henchman in his heart.

uttered a rather seductive hint:

"Alvin, as long as you come back after this sacrifice, I will allow you to 'watch the night' in my bedroom.

Oh, and don't forget to bring the rope you used to capture slaves. ”

Provided, of course, that they can all come back.

Byron said he couldn't understand what she was talking about.

I just couldn't help but silently feel sorry for Alvin, the [Wild Hunt Minion] who licked to the end but had nothing for three seconds.

"Queen, watch your step."

When he helped Beatrice out of the palace, a guard of honor of 100 people, who had been waiting on the periphery for a long time, immediately greeted him.

They may not be very strong, but they are all tall and mighty, and each of them holds a spear with a huge golden spear head.

These hundreds of golden spears alone show how rich this golden city really is.

It seems natural that the Castilian will be targeted as the number one target.

This moment.

The morning glow on the horizon was sprinkled on the honor guard, and the beautiful queen in the middle wearing a gold silk dress and holding the [Golden Code] in her hand, suddenly a golden brilliance.

This is not some rhetorical exaggeration, but the presentation of facts.

In particular, Beatrice's perfect golden ratio figure of 1:0.618 looks even more shining under the reflection of the morning sun.

It was like a moving goddess descending to the world.

Even Byron, who has been getting along for a long time and has long been accustomed to the other party's evil beauty, subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

The young soldiers in the honor guard who were strong and vigorous were naturally even more out of shape.

The member closest to Beatrice in the front row of the line, dazzled by the beauty of [Variety Enchantress], unconsciously let go of the spear in his hand.

The heavy golden spearhead immediately converted potential energy into kinetic energy, and slammed into Beatrice next to Byron.

If this thing hits an ordinary person's body, it is not impossible for the head to break and bleed, and the bones and tendons to break.

And a powerful third-order transcendent would certainly not be injured by such a thing.

Byron had also predicted, and took a step in front of her like the wind, and stretched out two fingers to easily pinch the fallen golden spear.

"Ahh

The member of the honor guard finally came back to his senses, and his face turned pale.

But he didn't even dare to beg for mercy, so he was dragged down by the head and arms of the two guards.

No one doubted his fate, and there was no doubt that there would be another strong and superior sacrifice on the altar of the [Lord of Skinning] today.

Beatrice mounted a white steed she had received from an outsider, and the regrouped guard of honor continued on her way.

However, what just happened seemed like just a minor episode of insignificance.

Byron clearly knew that the direction in which the spear was falling just now should have been himself.

It was only because the lower end happened to be stuck in a gap in the stone floor that the target "accidentally" shifted to Beatrice.

'Ding-dong! Be the first to bind a source of danger.

Believe me, as your bodyguard, I said that if I don't let you die at the hands of others, I will definitely not die at the hands of others. ’

The sun rises higher and higher, in the most magnificent temple of skinning in the center of the city.

"Don't, spare me, I'm the Empire's own people!"

"You wait, you killed the princess, and now you want to kill us, in the future, we Taya people will not spare you!"

“”

From the first rays of sunlight piercing the darkness, the terrible screams that began were endless.

Under normal circumstances, the sacrifice needs to be emptied in advance and then poured with drugs to avoid shouting and even incontinence and blasphemy.

But today's blood feast carnival, there are too many sacrifices that need to be sacrificed.

Looking towards the square and the central avenue, the "Avenue of Death", the total number of slaves has exceeded 30,000.

Even if there are so many medicines, there is not so much time to waste.

All the fixed and temporary skinning altars around the pyramid are already in operation.

But the shamans here still think that their movements are not neat enough and too slow, and even the trainee shamans who have not yet been employed have been sent to help.

The scene was so tragic that even the man-made river that connected to the lake around the temple had completely turned into a river of blood.

A blinding red color is spreading rapidly throughout Lake Texcoco.

And it was not only the lake that changed color, but even the golden sun over the city-state seemed to be dyed with blood.

"In fact, the blood sacrifice of the material world is only a appearance, and as the ritual progresses, it is the spiritual world that changes the most.

The red sun is the spiritual overflow. ”

Byron had already ascended to the top of the skinning pyramid with Beatrice, who was the chief priest.

Compared to the nine-story pyramid of Quetzalcoatl in Chichen Itza City, which he had climbed, it was significantly taller, enough to match the thirteen-story pyramid of the Taya Empire.

Behind him is a temple dedicated to the god "Lord of Skins".

Byron's spiritual vision at the highest point of the physical and spiritual worlds also allowed him to see the entire sadhana clearly.

Whenever an aborigine is skinned and sacrificed to blood.

On the edge of the royal city of Tenochtitlan, which exists as a huge island in the spirit world, a new island will emerge and merge with the larger island.

As the island grows larger, the appearance gradually shifts to the shape of a crescent moon throughout the Yucatan Peninsula.

At the same time, the concept of the Taíno group in the Bantaan Islands has been continuously strengthened, and it has gradually been forcibly condensed into a whole.

Byron thought thoughtfully:

"In the spiritual world of the Old World, the main body of human collective consciousness is a vast continent shrouded in the [Silver Law], which is exactly the shape of the Old World.

This is because both the countries of the East Coast and the countries of the West Coast share the same source of faith.

No matter which side of God the nations believe, the source is ultimately the bound Creator.

It is precisely because of countless coincidences and religious wars that the beliefs of the mainland have been unified.

It also makes the collective subconscious sea of all the populations of the Old World closely connected.

The Lancaster family, who converted to the Church, is one of the links that connect the church to the people of the Gulf.

Of course, there are also a very small number of independent islands that are attached to the mainland like Valhalla Valhalla.

At this time, the Bantaan Islands are still fragmented in the real world, but they are constantly converging in the spiritual world.

Just like what the Old World once experienced thousands of years ago. ”

[Hidden: The Mystery of the Blood Sacrifice of the Azk Empire, Historical Influence 27] The original 72% resolution density continues to rise.

It's not just the density, but even Byron's own extraordinary knowledge is rising rapidly.

There is no better place to study in the world.

"Some of these sacrifices came from the 'Crown War' that the Azik had just launched against the Taya Empire in the south, and some of them were tributes from the hundreds of small city-states within the empire.

There are also thousands of large and small islands from the east.

Their identities include almost all the two empires of Yucatan and the Bantaan Islands, as well as all the city-states and tribes.

This blood sacrifice is obviously to use these sacrifices as a medium to open up the collective subconscious of all ethnic groups.

Once completed, it will be the foundation for the establishment of the Taíno [Golden Code] and the unification of royal power.

However, there are also bad consequences.

Without this kind of empathetic pain, the anti-Azik coalition, which is itself full of contradictions, would not have been able to unite so smoothly.

This ceremony will not go so smoothly if it wants to succeed. ”

In Byron's vision, as the number of blood sacrifices grew, so did the land of the spirit world.

It's just that there are a large number of totems, nature spirits, and guardian spirits on the island to protect the race.

The foundations of these islands are always distinct and cannot be completely integrated into a complete "continental shelf".

Break down the barriers between the conscious, the individual subconscious, and the collective subconscious.

Seeing this, Beatrice, the presiding priest in front of Byron, immediately instructed the other shamans to start the next stage of the ritual.

"Start the God-Killing Feast!"

Toot ——!

The long bison horn was sounded.

A group of shamans unveiled the palm fronds covering the pyramids at the same time, revealing a large group of stone statues of gods full of the vicissitudes of time.

There are dozens of large and small:

The Sun God, Tonatiu, the Moon Goddess, the Milky Way, the Milky Way, the Goddess of War, the Viscilopochtli

[Water God] Tlaloc, [Tempest and Baptism Goddess] Char Chutriqui, [Fire Chamber and Volcano Goddess] Cicada Tico

Not only the [Skinning Lord], but also the main idols of all the other gods in the Azk god system have also been moved here.

They only symbolize a certain concept, and they have no self-consciousness, and they no longer have the majesty of sitting on the throne of God in the past.

Instead, they seemed to have anticipated their fate, and they all shed blood and tears.

"Kill the gods!"

"Kill the gods!"

The Azk Empire conquered 371 city-states with a population of tens of millions, and the gods worshiped in the territory were naturally extremely diverse.

But unlike the gods in most civilizations, they remain unchanged unless they are violently converted.

The gods here are constantly adjusting and changing according to a certain time series and people's wishes.

As long as a god did not conform to the wishes of the people, the inhabitants of the city-state would not allow him to continue to enjoy the offerings, and would even kill the corresponding god.

Thus, as the mythical world of the Taíno grew older, new gods were constantly being replaced by new ones.

To trade in the old with the new is to go through the ritual of "killing the gods".

At the rituals of the new gods, the names of the gods of some obsolete or conquered tribes were marked on the food.

Smash the idols, slaughter them and eat them!

The world of man is drenched in blood, and the world of gods (natural spirits) is not far behind.

"Kill the gods! It's time to feast! ”

All 250,000 people in the city, except for a few defensive forces, all the rest of the people fell to their knees around the pyramid.

With a shout, the temple at the top of the pyramid was filled with blood, slowly condensing into the image of a god.

He was dressed in bloody human skin, his body was as bright as gold, his mouth was open and blood-red, his eyes were closed, and his ears were pierced.

There are black lines on the face that run from the forehead through the eyes to the chin, like a large corn.

He holds a yellow shield and a clay container filled with corn seeds hanging from his waist.

At the first glance of Him, a series of concepts such as rebirth, agriculture, plants, disease, spring, goldsmith, liberation, the East, and so on automatically flood into the eyes of the onlooker.

It was as if He was the embodiment of these concepts.

Obviously, this is the patron god of Azk, the [Lord of Skinning] Hippetec!

At Beatrice's prayer.

He raised his hand and grabbed at the God of War, Vizilopochtli, whose skin immediately peeled off and fell onto him.

For the gods, this is not just a skin, but also represents the image, person, power, and even existence of the god itself.

At this moment, they are all taken away.

Then there is the Sun God and the Moon Goddess

Dozens of the most iconic Azik gods died one after another, and the statues of the gods that had been worshiped for an unknown number of years also collapsed.

And the huge islands that represent the entire Azk Empire, and even a part of the Tyno race, are finally bathed in the divine light of the [Skinning Lord].

Then, the [Skinning Lord], whose aura was extremely strong, fell to the side of the main priest, Beatrice.

He put his right hand, which looked like it was made of gold, on the shining golden [Golden Codex].

On the other side, the Azk Emperor Montezuma II also ascended to the top of the pyramid and also placed his right hand on the [Golden Codex].

Immediately, a majestic voice resounded throughout the royal city:

"God gives kingship! The Emperor is the Son of God, and I will make you monarchs and kings everywhere in the world! ”
