Chapter 625 Daughters of the Silver Crow Tribe
The long wind in February blows on the plateau, which is different from the warm coastal lowlands and brings a bit of chill. The young king sat on the throne of the big tent. He looked at the two Huastec girls with low eyebrows in front of him with a critical eye.
The appearance of the two girls is quite similar. They are obvious sisters. At first glance, it is even easy to confuse them. The person on the left is slightly older, has a more obvious figure, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as beautiful as white orchid in summer. The person on the right looks a little childish, purses his lips, feels uneasy, and is as beautiful as a daisy in early autumn.
At this moment, facing the notorious Death Chief, the two people's shoulders were close to each other, their expressions were very nervous and filled with inexplicable expectations.
"Huh? Are you Li Yu and Li Yao, the daughters of Silver Crow Chief Papata?"
Shulot watched for a while and saw the sisters who were nodding like deers in front of him. Their faces were calm and they asked calmly.
"Where is the noble daughter of the Silver Crow Tribe who is engaged to His Highness Little Quatlawak now?"
"Respected Death Chief, my sister Li Lin has been escorted by more than a dozen warriors from the tribe to the magnificent capital city in the lake through another road."
Sister Li Yu raised her head and glanced carefully at the Death Chief above her. He doesn't look very ferocious, nor does he look very burly, but he has an aura of calmness and dignity. She pinched the feathers of her short skirt and plucked up the courage to speak loudly.
"Great Chief, my father respects the Alliance and admires your bravery and reputation! He asked us sisters to come here to express the tribe's respect for you, and to stay by your side, to dance and sing for you, and to serve you personally. We are willing to give birth to a strong child for you together. The warrior also gave birth to a beautiful daughter!”
".cough."
Hearing these straightforward words, Shulot's eyelids twitched, he coughed slightly, and looked at it for a moment.
The sisters in front of me are only eighteen or nineteen years old, which is the age of youth and grace. They came from the warm lowlands of Raven City, wearing only light short clothes and feathered grass skirts. From their slender arms and calves, as well as Tingting's upright posture when standing, we know that they are good dancers who have practiced dancing since childhood. There is also a ring of shining shells tied around their ankles, which jingles as they walk, as if they are riding on crisp waves. Their toes were smeared with a light purple color, which was the juice of clams on the seashore, similar to the purple dye of Carthage.
"Ahem! Someone, put them in the robes of priest apprentices and put on cloth shoes. The weather in the plateau is not as good as in the lowlands. Don't go barefoot all day long."
Shulot waved his hand and looked away. Then, he lowered his head slightly, thinking about Papata's intentions, and also thinking about the Silver Crow tribe on the seaside.
There is no doubt that Silver Crow Chief Papata is showing goodwill to the kingdom and expressing his utmost sincerity. It's just that this sincerity is a little sudden and a little too "sincere".
"Papata's behavior must be a reaction after seeing the kingdom's fleet. However, sending two daughters to serve directly is too decisive. According to the traditions of various tribes, the leader sends his daughter to form an alliance. Or surrender. And form an alliance with the Silver Crow tribe, which owns tens of thousands of people, occupies an important seaside town, and controls the mouth of the Cat Eagle River."
Thinking of this, Shulot raised his eyebrows. The kingdom is in the west and the Silver Crow tribe is in the east. There is no direct conflict of interest between the two parties, but this unequal alliance is not harmful at all to the kingdom. If Bertard leads his troops east, he will need a reliable stronghold for shipbuilding along the coast and as a departure port for Cuba, and the location of Crow City is just right.
Of course, there are no free benefits in the world, and there are no beauties sent for free. Thinking of this, Shulot looked at the two of them again, with a serious look on his face, and asked in a deep voice.
"Papata, the leader of the Silver Crow Clan, has always been respectful to the Alliance and has converted to the Supreme Lord God! In my opinion, his loyalty and piety are a model for the vassal tribes of the Alliance! Li Yu and Li Yao, you are here this time. Any other message?"
"Yes! The powerful Death Chief, my father said, he has always admired your bravery! He is willing to follow the most powerful head shark like a reef shark in the sea and swim on the vast seashore! He is willing to join you in hunting The army will hunt sea fish for you, search for the holy land in the sea together, and will not ask for food that cannot be swallowed."
Bailanliyu spoke first. Her voice was clear and lively, like a lark. Then, she quietly reached out her hand and tugged on Li Yao's grass skirt.
"Ah! The strong chief. My father said that he wants to manage the lower reaches of the Cat Eagle River for you, and lead the Huastec tribes in the south to completely convert to the Lord God! The Huastec tribes were plundered by the canine descendants in the north, and were plundered by the canine descendants in the south. Oppressed by the Tlaxcalans and the Totonacs, the alliance destroyed the Tlaxcalan tribes and also had the strength to destroy the Totonacs.”
Daisy Li Yao lowered her head, telling Papata's message as if reciting something. She was a little nervous at first, but as she spoke, her eyes sparkled, her words became clear and fluent.
"Great chief, my father said, the king is a divine bird that has never existed before. Like the sun in the lowlands, it shines brightly in all directions! The army of the Alliance attacks everywhere and is invincible, just like the tide on the seashore, it is unstoppable. . The only thing that can limit the alliance is long distance and difficult terrain."
"A wise person will not fight against the tide. Therefore, the Silver Crow tribe is eager to join the alliance, be the feathers of the divine bird, and accompany the divine bird to fly high. However, our tribe is not strong enough and does not have enough qualifications to directly serve as the neck of the divine bird. Feather Chief, you are the strongest feathers of the divine bird, and you have a big ship that can go to the sea. Therefore, we are willing to follow you and be your most colorful feather in the east. !”
After saying that, the two sisters looked at each other and plucked a long red feather from their skirts. Then, the two of them bit the feather in their mouths, held hands, and came to Shulot with light steps. Under Eckart's wary gaze, the two sisters lay on the ground gracefully, raised their heads, biting the red feathers, revealing their wheat-colored necks and undulating chests. They looked up at the young king sitting above, their voices soft and sweet, hinting at expectations.
"Mighty (strong) chief, we are willing to dedicate our first feathers to you!"
"Um?"
Shulot held the copper ax in one hand and the divine staff in the other, looking down at the two of them warily. Looking at the actions of the two sisters, he was slightly confused. It wasn't until his eyes fell on the blood-like red feather that he suddenly understood.
"."
The young king was silent for a moment before formally replying.
"The kingdom in the lake is willing to form an alliance with the Silver Crow Tribe. This alliance does not have pictures and texts, but it is witnessed by the Lord God! I will support Papata's expansion. Fifty pairs of bronze armor, one hundred refined long swords The bow and two hundred bronze battle axes are my gift to him, and they are also the witness of our covenant!"
"As for you two, the maid next to me will be involved in the drafting of the kingdom's documents. She needs to know writing and be proficient in arithmetic."
Hearing this, Li Yu and Li Yao looked at each other in surprise. An inexplicable and ominous premonition arose in the hearts of the two sisters, as if it foreshadowed the difficulties in the future.
"so."
The corners of Shulot's lips curled up and he spoke slowly, finding the most suitable and most beneficial task for the young and beautiful sisters.
"You guys need to go to the Divine Power University in the royal capital first. Learn Chinese characters, scriptures, mathematics, etiquette, and divine revelation knowledge. I heard that your singing and dancing are very good, so there is no need to study music and art. Well, in total, just Study for four years!”
