Chapter 1277 Son and Daughter, My Children? !

"Greetings, respected God King! You are as bright as the sun, shining in all directions!..."

"Xuluot, you are here. No need to be polite... Come, come and sit down!..."

In the God King's tent, there is an altar for the main god, a picture board of the sun, and traces of ashes from the sacrifice. Under the altar is a large mahogany table made of precious and hard Dalbergia densiflora, which is the famous "Kingwood" in later generations. This kind of mahogany will emit a natural fragrance, blending with the faint divine smoke, making people feel comfortable and relax unconsciously.

Avite's mouth curled up, very easy-going and amiable, as if he couldn't stop smiling. He sat with his legs crossed on a large reed mat. The mat was painted with pure gold thread to depict the ripples of the sun, and with rare cochineal red to paint a pale red sun. He stretched out his hand and beckoned to Xiuluot to come over. Xiuluot still performed the etiquette respectfully, and then he leaned over with a slight bow. When he came to the side of the God King, Xiuluot was stunned.

"Your Majesty the God King... This... is there only one mat?..."

"Haha! My son-in-law, don't be so rigid... Just sit next to me, sit with me!..."

Avite reached out his hand, pulled Xiuluot, who looked terrified, and sat on the reed mat in the sun, sitting side by side. Then, without waiting for Xiuluot to speak, he smiled and pulled out a parchment letter with a royal red mark on it, and handed it to Xiuluot.

"A letter from the capital, good news that makes people happy!... A month ago, Alyssa gave birth to your pair of children in the lake capital, a strong boy and a lively girl!..."

"What! Alyssa gave birth to twins?! My son and daughter, my children?!..."

Xiuluot was shocked, and quickly opened the letter and read it carefully. Alyssa should have gotten pregnant in June last year. Calculating the time, it was when the two of them were together, from May to August, for several months in a row without shame. And it was not until mid-April this year that Alyssa gave birth to two children. The pregnancy period was a little more than ten months, which was obviously a late birth.

Although there were only a few words in the letter, the danger of this birth can be seen from the fact that the herbal masters used knife water and the priestesses used new forceps...

"Ancestors bless you! The spring festival you held last year did have an effect! Twins are the blessing of the goddess of spring, the most beloved by the twin rain gods, and a good omen for the God-blessed Alliance! The backbone of the royal family has grown again! And the world we conquered also has more heirs of blood inheritance..."

Speaking of this, Avite was very happy and smiled from the bottom of his heart. But after laughing, he shook his head again and spoke in a serious tone.

"The goddess priests have a way to receive divine grace and give birth to twins... But this method is still too dangerous!... In the future, you and Alyssa should use less medicine offered by the priestesses... Those secret medicines are not actually prepared for the noble..."

"Lord God! Giving birth to two children at once, and late births... This is too dangerous! It's really too dangerous... Alyssa, my wife... Those goddess priests' medicines must be used less in the future... No! Don't use them at all..."

Hearing this, Xiuluot pursed his lips, feeling guilty. He understood the meaning of Avit's words. Twins are the blessing of the goddess of spring, and the favorite of the twin rain gods Tlaloc, and are the perfect sacrifice equivalent to the descendants of the gods! From the Nahua tribes on the plateau to the Maya tribes in the jungle, wherever there is a belief in the rain god, twin babies will be sacrificed to pray for the continuation of the tribe, good weather, and a good harvest...

This sacrificial culture that has lasted for thousands of years naturally gave birth to the research of Central American priests on the birth of twins. Inherited from generation to generation, today, priests can use "herbs" and "insect medicines" to greatly increase the probability of women giving birth to twins, so that with a small number of pregnant women, they can stably obtain the most perfect twin sacrifices! As for the potential risks of pregnancy, they will naturally be ignored in the face of the respected religious theocracy. As Avit said, these secret pregnancy-promoting drugs are usually not prepared for the nobles...

During the month of the Spring Festival last year, Alyssa took a lot of herbs offered by the priestesses. It is said that it can "lead the goddess to bless and breed more vitality." Xuluot himself also took a lot, so that he was upside down day and night for a month and completely lost control. Now it seems that the secret teachings of these priests have indeed taken effect, but the cost and risk to the body have increased exponentially...

"Well... Xiuluot, just be more careful in the future. You and Alyssa should not be impatient, and should be like a stream. You are still young, and you can have a child every one or two years, and six or seven in ten years... You should give birth to more children to strengthen the bloodline of our royal family!... The world we conquered will eventually be handed over to our descendants, and they will inherit it!..."

Avite patted Xiuluot's shoulder, and his expression became more intimate. At this moment, he was like an ordinary father-in-law, admonishing his son-in-law earnestly. Then, he put his arm around his son-in-law's shoulders and asked with a smile.

"By the way, have you thought of the names of these two children?..."

"Ah! The names of the two children? Let me name them?..."

Hearing this, Xiu Luote was slightly startled. The names of royal children involve divinity and inheritance, so they are usually determined by the elders of noble status and cannot be given casually like commoners. The name of the eldest son Xiuhua was directly determined by Avit, which has three respected divine meanings: "light", "conquer", and "elf". And this time, Avit would actually take the initiative to ask for his opinion and discuss the decision with him? The meaning of this change...

"Well... Father-in-law, do you have any ideas about the divinity of the children?..."

"Haha! Xiu Luote, I do have some ideas... These two children are gifts from the Lord God when we marched south to the land of Mixtec in the clouds! They should have the divinity of 'in the clouds'... and since they are twins, and were born before the rainy season, they should also have the divinity of 'falling rain'!..."

"Oh! The divinity of 'in the clouds' should be 'Mistlan'. And the divinity of 'falling rain' is 'Trapisiloa'... Well... Father-in-law, do you want to give these two children names like you did to Xiuhua?..."

"Of course! The ancestors bear witness! These two children are my grandchildren, the sons and daughters of God respected by the alliance! And my inheritance will also be passed on to them through blood!..."

"Ah! In this case... the names are there!..."

Xiuluot smiled and picked up the charcoal pencil, and drew two complex graphic texts on the table of King Wood. This is the official name written in full in Nahuatl in accordance with the tradition of the alliance. Like the previous children, this will become their unique pattern and even their seal emblem in the future!

"The Lord God blesses, the ancestors witness! The boy born will inherit the divinity of "Yunzhong" and be named Xiu·Mixtitlan·Zotl (Xo·Mixtitlan·Zotl), Xiu Yunzhong..."

"And the girl born will inherit the divinity of "Yuluo" and be named Xiu·Tlapiciloa·Zotl (Xo·tlapiciloa·Zotl), Xiu Yuluo..."

"Xiu Yunzhong and Xiu Yuluo, they are the second son and third daughter of Alyssa and me, and the undisputed heirs of our bloodline identity, territory and wealth!..."

"Very good!... As a grandfather, I have also prepared a fiefdom for these two children... Their future territory is in the vast and must-be-conquered Mixtitlan Cloud!..."

Seeing Xiu Luot's announcement, Avit was very happy. The Mexica people did not have a patriarchal system of legitimate sons, no distinction between grandsons and grandsons-in-law, and even no two different words, but only one "grandson". The inheritance rights of the alliance nobles did not distinguish between sons and daughters, and all had equal rights. In fact, Avit's inheritance rights were inherited from his mother, Atotosteli II, the eldest daughter of Montezuma I. The same was true for his two brothers, Asiacatl and Tisoco, who were born from the same mother...

"Haha! The entire land in the clouds, one-third in the southwest, will be given to my nephew, Montezuma II... As for the east, it will be for my two grandchildren..."

Avit was well prepared, took out a map and unfolded it on the table. Then, he stretched out his hand and made a vague stroke, facing the names of the two children on the table, and proudly divided the thousand miles of clouds!

"The Lord God bears witness! The vast Eastern Mixtec, from the Divine Stone City on the plateau to the ancient city of Tututepec on the coast, a thousand miles from north to south and three hundred miles from east to west... I will leave these two-thirds of the Cloud Territory to them!"
