Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is July 20, the day of the "coronation of the holy lake".

It was the rainy season, but the sky was clear throughout the empire, and only white clouds drifted by.

The high priest in charge of divination obviously had two brushes, and he had measured the weather half a month in advance, at least much stronger than some weather forecasts that were inaccurate except for the date.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

Before dawn, golden streamers rose from all over the country, flying towards the imperial capital like countless meteors.

It was a thousand chariots of the sun, and in addition to the hundreds of princes who were about to compete for the throne, there were many more attendant guards.

The team of the four princes of Kipchak Suyu is naturally among them, not only is they extraordinarily large, but they also don't know how many brothers have been bought by the money offensive in secret.

Atahualpa shared a car with Byron and Violet of substitute captain Kimchi Roca.

Looking at the huge city that appeared on the high mountain in front of him, and a mountain lake as wide as the sea outside the city, he proudly introduced to them:

"Your Majesty, Lord of Heaven, Your Majesty the Empress, the capital of our Sun Empire, Cusco City, happens to be located at the junction of the four major Suyus, and it is also the heart of the entire empire.

The four great Suyou all started from this city, and it took nearly a thousand years to uproot countless totem god tribes and develop them little by little.

Therefore, in the Quechua language, the Solar Empire is called 'Tawantin Suyu', 'The Land of the Four Directions'.

The sacred lake of Titicaca, where the ceremony will take place, is twenty miles outside the capital.

Spanning 200 kilometers from north to south, covering 8,300 square kilometers, the area can also rank among the top three in the entire Hundred Beast Paradise.

The fifty-two secret islands within the scope of the Holy Lake are the key to this battle for the imperial crown."

Byron and Violet had heard him many times about the coronation ceremony, and had also collected documents from past years.

But it's not as impressive as coming here to see it in person.

The Empire of the Sun is a thousand-year-old empire with a true immortal god in charge, with a long history of civilization and a unique blend of myth and history.

Because many of the fourteen kings of the past dynasties have been promoted to gods, the history of the succession of thrones is a history of mythology.

Probably only this kind of country where people and gods lived together in mythological times will have this strange inheritance remaining.

The most famous of these is the legend about Manco Capac, the first king of the Empire's founder:

"Legend has it that Inti, the god of the sun, sensed the hardships of primitive humans in the Ring of Fire Mountains, so he sent one of his sons and daughters, Manco Capac, and his sister and wife, Mama Okluo Waco, to lead his three younger brothers and three younger sisters from Machu Picchu, the city of the sky, to earth.

And he gave them a golden staff, which would burrow into the ground on its own if it came across a suitable location to build a city and build a temple of the sun.

Eight siblings have been searching for twenty years in the perilous Ring of Fire Mountains.

Some of the brothers died, some were separated, and some were turned to stone, and in the end, only Co Capac and his sister made it to the city of Cusco on the shores of the sacred lake.

Then the golden scepter went into the ground of its own accord.

The husband and wife then taught the savages here to respect the sun god Inti, worship and honor him as their god, and make rules and laws so that the people could live like rational and polite people.

They were also rightfully crowned as the first king and lord queen. ”

In short, Manco Capac was not only the first king of the Solar Empire, but also regarded as the great hero who created an entire civilization.

In the end, the couple gave birth to more than 400 children, making these children the first nobles of the empire, and they themselves were successfully promoted to the fifth rank and became the subordinate gods of the [Sun God] Inti.

Back in Machu Picchu, the city in the sky.

And the so-called "coronation ceremony of the holy lake" is to let their younger generations repeat the hardships of the founders at the beginning and choose the real winner.

This process is playing God!

Injury, straying, death, curse, etc. are all possible fates for all brothers, and only one person can reach the end in the end.

He will be crowned in the sacred lake, wearing a crown of the sun blessed by the gods, and becoming the new king of the country and the heir of the gods.

At this moment, they looked at the holy lake under their feet from a high altitude, and even outsiders like Byron and Violet could feel the heavy meaning of inheritance in it.

But Byron and Violet glanced at each other and saw a hint of darkness in each other's eyes:

"This way of ascending to the throne with the help of the 'ritual of performing gods' is definitely not a small risk in the transcendent world.

Once the god has ill will towards his successor, the results will not be very good. ”

But this ritual has been passed down in the Sun Empire for fourteen generations, and it has little to do with outsiders like them, and they are not qualified to talk too much.

That's when it happened.

Bang!

A gunshot that was very familiar to the two of them, but should never have been here, suddenly exploded.

Followed by a sound that was much slower than the sound, Byron subconsciously raised his hand, his thumb and forefinger pinching a lead bullet flying towards Atahualpa like iron tongs.

Look up in the direction where the buckshot is flying, where one of the largest convoys of solar chariots in the field is swaggering through the market.

You don't need to look at the emblem, just look at the size of this air force unit, and you will know that this is the team that belongs to the third prince [Hero's Blood] Ankui Capak.

He served as the governor of Contisuyo in the western coastal region, and was known for his bravery and skillful warfare.

He has the smallest territory in the country, but he has the strongest air force in the empire, and the islands in the nearby waters are his strongholds.

This is also a preparation [Dionysian] who prepared his way back early and let many island tribes worship him.

Of course, whether he can succeed in the end is another story.

Sure enough, a voice in the team that seemed to have been drinking early in the morning, especially with a little drunkenness, sounded:

"Fourth brother, it's early!

83 Chinese network latest address

What about your guard captain Kimchi Rocca?

The henchman almost died on the woman's belly, did you temporarily find two fourth-order totem gods from some small tribe to help?

It's shabby! Hahaha"

The convoy dispersed, revealing a stout young man behind him who was full of alcohol but had very clear eyes, and was still playing with a gold-wire arquebus with an ivory handle.

"Hmph, you're early, third brother."

Atahualpa only snorted coldly at the provocation of this third brother, and there was no senseless ridicule, and then he saw the truth in the battle.

On the contrary, he was a little curious about the musket in his hand.

"Muskets? You've also met outsiders from the north? ”

For these fourth-orderers, an ordinary musket without enchantment, no matter how well-made, would not pose any threat.

Firing a shot is no different than greeting a child with a water gun.

If it is useful, it has to be the batch of artillery that Byron sold him, as well as a full set of solutions to the war.

At this time, Atahualpa was more concerned about whether there would be white-skinned barbarians who would join the third brother's command.

The third prince [Hero's Blood] An Kui thought that he was envious of the good things he had just gotten, and he quickly loaded gunpowder and projectiles with his hands and feet.

A child of the sun doesn't need to use an arquebus to ignite a fire, just put his finger into the medicine pool, and it can be easily activated, which is much more convenient than an ordinary arquebus.

This time, before the projectile could fly in front of Atahualpa, the golden camel head knife on his waist was slightly unsheathed, and with a flash of flames, the lead bullet turned into lead water and fell to the ground.

But the third prince was overjoyed:

"Hahaha, fun, right? This is the musket I bought from those white-skinned outsiders, called Remets.

A musket only cost me."

Byron and Violet raised their eyebrows, and scolded in their hearts:

"Damn the Remets, you're coming to steal a deal with us so soon?"

And when there were two sellers, the arms business immediately changed from a seller's market to a buyer's market.

I'm afraid that their 39 times profits will be exposed today! I don't know how Atahualpa, a big dog, will react.

However, the next moment, the third prince said a converted number:

"A mere £200! Yes, it's the unit common to outsiders, and a gun costs two hundred pounds.

It was so cheap that I bought a hundred in one go and rationed them to my guards. ”

Byron and Violet breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really not expensive, but it's just a hundred times the cost price.

Obviously, the poverty of the other three governors is only relative to the fourth Atahualpa, and compared to the poor ghosts in the north, they are still rich enough to be oily.

But in essence, they are all stupid sons of the landlord's family.

One by one, there are labels on the door of the head: "People are stupid and have a lot of money, come quickly!" ”

Atahualpa didn't know this, but he knew the price Byron had given him, but it wasn't even half of it.

To be precise, it is forty percent, and it has only sold 39 times, which is simply a conscience enterprise!

Seeing Atahualpa's suddenly moved eyes, what could Byron and Violet say?

I can only say: "It's all good to rely on your peers." ”

Instantly held his head high and accepted the gratitude of the fourth prince frankly.

Yes, we are serious arms dealers with a conscience and a bottom line.

After Atahualpa was moved, all that remained was to laugh at his third brother.

"I didn't know if I was tricked by someone for more than twice the price? What a fool! ”

The latter was immediately furious:

"Fourth, who do you say is stupid?!"

However, before the two brothers who didn't like each other began to fight.

Behind them, another convoy of solar chariots flew out of the capital city of Cusco.

Surrounded in the middle was not any prince, but a mummy that had been dried in a special way!

Thin and withered, but he was dressed in a gorgeous golden robe and a crown of the alpaca sun on his head.

Whether it is the fourth prince or the third prince, when they see the comer, they immediately bow their heads and salute:

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

This mummy turned out to be the previous king, Vajna Kapak.

Byron, who bowed his head with everyone, shook slightly.

Because he found it through the first skull, the Lord of Heaven.

Among the last four crystal skeletons he was looking for, the most important one, the No. 13 crystal skeleton [Suicide Goddess] Isitab, was on the other party's body!

[Hidden: The clouds of the change of the throne of the Sun Empire, historical influence 30] The solution density also suddenly jumped from 42% to 50%.
