Chapter 689 Reeds and Creepers

The sky was clear, the lake was like a mirror, the manor was isolated on the shore, and the reeds were tall and dense. Two cloaked figures hid in the reeds by the lake, paying attention to the movements in the noble manor. When the golden eagle flew up, it called proudly, and the two looked up at the same time, watching the majestic bird in the distance, and talked in a low voice.

"Praise the Lord! What a majestic golden eagle! The wingspan is so wide, the momentum is so strong, and it is not afraid of people at all!"

A young secret guard opened his eyes wide and exclaimed.

"Praise the Lord! This golden eagle is a sacred eagle raised by the eldest princess, named Avivit. The sacred eagle Avivit likes to eat fish the most, but seems to be a little afraid of snakes"

Another older secret guard smiled and said with a look of reminiscence.

"I heard that it has divinity, is very smart, can recognize familiar people, and remember the location of home. Even if it is thousands of miles away, it can return to the capital in the lake if it is released!"

"Lord!"

The young secret guard exclaimed with a flash of eyes.

"In the past three years, the lake area has started to domesticate mourning pigeons for delivery. Could it be the inspiration brought by the divine eagle?"

"Yes! That was the suggestion of His Highness, and it is said to be one of the divine inspirations. However, we have raised hundreds of pigeons, but only a few have been able to be fully trained and return to their nests. It still takes some time to explore the method of taming homing pigeons."

Speaking of this, the older secret guard licked his lips and thought of the deliciousness of roasted pigeons. In the past few years, everyone has eaten a lot of pigeons.

"Pigeons can only fly back one way, from hundreds of miles away, to the capital in the lake. Flying messengers are indeed very fast, but not very safe. If they are pecked by hawks or shot by hunters, they will be gone. I really don't know when they will be used."

"May the Lord God bless us! The truly reliable messengers still depend on us."

The young secret guard nodded and agreed in a low voice. Then, he squinted his eyes, looked far away in the southwest direction, and said thoughtfully.

"The princess is not in the capital. The golden eagle went to the southwest. Could it be the Sun Temple on the Holy Mountain?"

"Damn it, don't think about it! His Majesty has other arrangements for the princess's protection, and we are not allowed to participate in it."

The older secret guard said coldly with a serious look.

"Don't think too much, just pretend you don't know! The focus now is to keep an eye on this noble manor, and then report to the female snake lady."

"Yes!"

The young secret guard pursed his lips and nodded heavily. The two were silent, and the reeds were quiet again. Only the occasional frog croaking sounded by the lake, waiting to hunt flying insects.

The golden eagle Avivit spread its wings and flew high, like lightning. In just a moment, it flew seventy or eighty miles and came to the foot of the Holy Mountain of the Alliance. The golden eagle circled the tall temple, "yo yo" and flew around twice. It used its sharp eyes to search among the mountains and forests on the ground, and suddenly it swooped down fiercely!

With the sound of whistling wind, it approached a hot spring on the ground, stretched out its claws, threw away the big fish in its claws, and then fell to the ground with a "whoosh", landing outside a stone house next to the hot spring.

"Yo! Yo!"

"Avivit, you're back!"

A beautiful figure in red walked out of the stone house with a bright smile on her face. She opened her arms, hugged Avivit in her arms, and rubbed his little head hard. Then, she couldn't wait to push Avivit to the ground and reached out to grab the letter on its hind legs.

"Let me see what's written in his letter. Hey! It seems to be a poem"

Alyssa opened her bright eyes, unfolded the cotton letter, and gently unfolded it. The familiar handwriting came into her eyes, full of the breath of longing.

"The reeds are bright and lush, and the white dew condenses into frost. There is a person I miss, on the other side of the water. I will go against the river to find her, no matter how long and dangerous the road is. I will go along the river to find her, she is in the center of Lake Texcoco."

Alyssa read quietly for a while, and her eyes gradually became moist. After a while, she folded the letter, carefully put it in her arms, and smiled softly.

"Oh, what a bad monkey! Always write such poems, confusing people's hearts, but never see each other. It's been more than a year and a half, and Xiuhua is nine months old."

Alyssa talked to herself for a while, with a smile on her face, and a little sad. Avivit tilted his head, looking at the hostess's changing mood, with a confused look on his face. It thought for a while, stretched out its claws, and pushed the big fish it had just caught in front of the young woman in red.

"Yo! Yo!"

"What a cute little golden eagle. Wherever it flies, it will think of me."

Alyssa looked at the fish under her feet with bright eyes. She smiled and hugged Avivit again, rubbing its head and asked softly.

"Avivit, you have the best eyesight, and you just came back from the military camp of Tree Snake City. Tell me, what is the bad monkey doing? Is he okay? Have the two snake cities fallen? When can he come back? Is there anyone to take care of him?"

"Yo! Yo!"

Avivit blinked, raised his head, and called out twice.

"Everything is fine! Who is accompanying him?"

Alyssa smiled, but seemed to understand. She let go and turned back to the house. After a while, she was wearing a white short dress as light as gauze, a small feather crown of Chagel feathers, and returned to the hot spring.

A faint mist rose from the hot spring, hazy, as if in the clouds. And the elves in the clouds stretched out by the water, reflecting the reflection in the lake, singing and dancing softly.

"The reeds are bright and lush, and the white dew condenses into frost. There is a person I miss, on the other side of the water. I wait for him upstream of the river, no matter how slow or long the days are. I wait for him downstream of the river, in the center of Lake Texcoco. Just like a lotus waiting for a hummingbird, it blooms only for him!"

The gentle and soft singing voice floats by the lake. The breeze rises, and the reeds by the lake also sway in the wind, gently responding. A golden eagle squatted on the shore, looking at the hostess by the lake, but could not understand the other's mood. It just tilted its head, listening to the high and low singing, watching the flowers that were either closed or unfolded, as if flying in the clouds.

"The countryside is covered with creepers, and the cold dew is very thick. There is a beautiful person, as gentle as Qingyang. She will meet you by chance, bathe in the divine light together, and walk hand in hand for a long time"

The singing voice turned gently and turned into another song, which was also a letter from the Tree Snake City. Alyssa stood on tiptoe and danced the Mixtec deer dance, changing many movements. Her rhythm was softer and her movements were more relaxed, like the dance of the "cloud deer". Such a beautiful dance bloomed beside the quiet hot spring, but there were no spectators, only a well-behaved golden eagle.

"Yo! Yo!"

Avivit watched for a long time and made two clear cries. Then, it spread its wings, flew into the air, and circled above the hot spring, as if dancing with the hostess.

Alyssa looked at the clumsy flying golden eagle and laughed out loud, dancing more happily. One person and one eagle danced together for a long time, until two crisp cries suddenly sounded from the nearby stone house.

"Wow! Wow!"
