Chapter 662 2nd Kingdom Expedition, Kuba Cuba!

The night was dark and the jungle was deep. The expedition team rescued the wounded and began to board the ship. The Mayapan people are still fumbling around on the battlefield, collecting loot from the corpses. The leaders of the two sides gathered in front of a bonfire, looked at each other, and waited quietly.

“The price of compensation…”

Mayan merchant Tikalo lowered his eyes and pondered. He did prepare some trump cards to calm the kingdom’s anger. It’s just that there are very few such cards in the remnants of Mayapan who are in a difficult situation. Once handed over, the value of the Mayapan remnants to the kingdom…

“That’s it! I don’t really have a choice.”

Tikalo’s eyes swept across the red-stained dagger in the hands of Priest Tommat. This obsidian dagger has picked out lobsters, carved divine patterns, and naturally offered sacrifices. Facing such a threat, he sighed softly and looked at the young goddess Tiagin.

“Tiakin, did the person I ordered… bring?”

“what?”

The young goddess shook his head vigorously, and finally woke up from the priest’s ritual. He thought for a while before he understood who his uncle was talking about.

“Oh. Brought.”

“Then bring it here!”

“it is good!”

Tiakin turned his head and instructed the noble warrior behind him. Soon, a tall middle-aged soldier with dark skin and facial tattoos came to the crowd holding an old drawing board.

“Blessed by the Serpent God! Praise you, Mayapan’s Sun, High Chief Kokom!”

The tall middle-aged warrior put down the drawing board, knelt on the ground, and bowed to the ground to salut. He raised his hands high and laid them flat on the ground, showing deference from his heart.

“Blessed by the Lord! Kuba, Mayapan’s loyal warrior. Your father and grandfather have been loyal to the royal family for generations, and you have been loyal to me for many years.”

Tiakin’s expression was calm, showing the majesty of the goddess. He stared at Kuba, who could squat down, and paused before continuing.

“And now, you have to worship the more revered Lord God, and pay allegiance to the Nawa priests who came from the western plateau. You have to follow him, go east together, and return to the place where your ancestors came from, and pass on the majesty and light of the gods to Still ignorant clansmen!”

“…Yes! Follow you, Mayapan Sun!”

Hearing “the sun”, Kuba was a little dazed, but still bowed respectfully. Then, in obedience to the will of the sun, he turned and bowed to the priest Tomat.

“Praise you! High plateau priest!”

“Um?”

Priest Tomat looked at Kuba, who was kowtowing, and at Tikalo, a Mayan merchant with a calm expression. He raised his brows, stretched out his hand, and asked in a deep voice.

“Tikalo, is this the price you paid for?”

“Exactly! Priest Tomat, he is one of the prices of compensation, and the most important one… It will definitely satisfy the kingdom and His Royal Highness!”

The Mayan merchant nodded affirmatively. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a mysterious smile.

“Do you know where he came from?”

“Um?…”

Hearing this, Priest Thomas’s eyes moved. He looked at Chiwako, the old militia, who also looked at him at the same time. The same guess appeared in the hearts of the two of them, and their eyes were also looking east.

“Could it be?”

“That’s right! His name is Cuba, and he comes from Cubao! The meaning of ‘Cuba’ is a vast and fertile land. And that land is the Snake Island in the East China Sea that His Highness really loves!”

Tikalo said word by word and spoke confidently. And these plain words fell into the ears of Priest Thomas, but they sounded like thunder.

“What! Is he the Taino that His Highness said?”

“You could say that. But it’s more accurate to say…”

Tikalo paused, but forgot the complicated name. So, he looked at the submissive Kuba and asked.

“Kuba, where did your father and grandfather come from? What ethnic group?”

“Praise you! Revered Athena. My fathers and grandfathers were from the far west of Cuba. They were the Guanahatabey. To the east of the tribe, on the flat plains, were the Taínos. ). But in fact, they call themselves Guanahaní. Guanajatabe and Guanahani both live in the vast Cuba, and they are Cubans who belong to the fertile land.”

“Guanajatabé? Guanajani? Cuban?”

Priest Tommat’s eyes widened and he was instantly excited. The Eastern Snake Island that His Highness was thinking of, actually appeared in front of his eyes! He remembered Chun Chun’s entrustment before His Highness left, as if there was blood in his chest, burning hot in his chest. After a while, he calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

“Quba, are you from Cuban Snake Island?”

“No. High-altitude chief, I grew up in the lowland Maya. But I have followed merchant ships, have been back to Cuba a few times, and have been to the Xishan tribe where my father and grandfather came from.”

“Huh? The Xishan tribe in Cuba?”

Hearing this, Priest Tomat touched his chin and asked.

“Where is Xishan?”

“Uh… Xishan is Xishan, the mountain to the west.”

Kuba raised his head and gave Priest Tomat a strange look. Then, he thought for a while, and answered at Tikalo’s prompt.

“Cuba is a long, flat, fertile soil. It really is like a snake with its head facing east and its tail facing west. There are mountains at both ends, and the middle is flat. The head of the snake is the east mountain, and the tail is the west mountain.”

“I see!”

Priest Thomas nodded, thought for a while, and asked again.

“Kuba, do you speak Taino then?”

“Tall Highland Chief, I speak Mayan, Guanajata, and Taino.”

“Huh? Guanajata?”

“Oh, it’s the language of my father’s tribe. The tribes on the edge of Cuba speak Guanajata. And in the middle and east, it’s Guanahani, or Taino. The two languages ​​are different. ”

“I see!”

Priest Tomat nodded again and again, with a smile on his face again. He stared at Kuba, who was lying on the ground, his eyes lit up, as if he were looking at a peerless beauty. The devout priest pondered for a while, touched the scriptures in his hand again, and asked uncontrollably.

“Kuba, are you willing to convert to the Lord God?”

“Eh? Convert to the Lord God?…”

Kuba raised his head, his face blank. Then, when he saw Priest Tomat’s shining eyes, he shivered with a chill all over his body.

“I…”

“Cough! Dear Priest Tomat…”

Tikalo smiled and interrupted at the right time. He picked up the old drawing board on the ground, glanced at it with nostalgia, and respectfully handed it to Priest Thomas.

“Look at this. Another price for your satisfaction.”

“This is?!”

“This is a chart to Cuba. It is marked with the sea route to Cuba, and the names and locations of the thirty tribes in Cuba!”

Having said that, Ticarlo pursed his lips, his eyes were a bit vicissitudes, and his tone was distant.

“When the Mayapan Kingdom was at its peak, there were frequent trade exchanges with the tribes on Cuba Island, especially the tribes on the west side. The Maya Kingdom’s fleet traveled east and west, and many of the tribes on the island recognized the royal family’s emblem, and also He has traded goods with the kingdom. There are even chiefs who submit to the royal family and send their sons and nephews. Kuba’s father and grandfather have such a history…”

“Cuba’s trade has to go through the sea and there is the risk of storms and waves, but the profits are extremely high! The kingdom can exchange the island’s rich tobacco, cotton, pineapple, cassava, fish and feathers at very low prices… This Mayapan chart is the treasure that the Mayan merchants dream of!”

“The nautical chart of Cuba…the coveted treasure!…”

Hearing this, Priest Tomat murmured and repeated with a happy expression on his face. He lowered his head impatiently and looked at the wooden board in his hand.

I saw the leftmost end of the board, a port of departure, Ekab. Then, several crooked curves went from north to south to east, until a long and narrow land. These curves are also marked with Mayan numbers, which, according to Tikalo’s translation, range from 600 to 800 miles.

“From Ekab to the east, six hundred to eight hundred miles, that’s Cuba!”

Seeing this, Priest Tomat’s whole body shook. He couldn’t wait to keep looking down. I saw that “Cuba” was extremely long and narrow, extending to the southeast for more than two thousand miles. Along the coast, large and small Mayan characters are marked, which should be the marks of different tribes.

“Tikalo, the Xishan tribe from Kuba, where is it?”

“Here! Arriving at the westernmost point of Cuba, along the southern coast eastward, the first large tribe at the foot of the mountain is the Xishan tribe!”

Priest Tomat stretched out his hand, pressed the position of the Xishan tribe, and stayed for a while. Then, he looked all the way to the east, until the end of Cuba, and saw a prominently marked position on the east mountain.

“Huh? What is this label?”

“Oh! Decades ago, the fleet of the Mayapan Kingdom used to collect some black sparkling gems here, which could attract and repel each other.”

Tikalo looked faint, recalling a long-standing story. The world is like smoke, the fate of people, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is really unpredictable… On his face, there is an inexplicable smile, and a few sighs.

“I once selected two black gems as a gift for His Highness. When His Highness saw it, he was very excited. He once asked me where I got it, but I didn’t tell him the exact location, only that it was from the East. Snake Island…”

“And now, the kingdom calls the place where this gem is produced iron ore! I have heard that the kingdom’s iron ore is only a small piece, and His Highness regards it as a great treasure. And here is the mark, the black iron ore. The ore… directly under the open air, forming mountains!”

“Ah? After the death of Feathered Serpent God, the hard black iron formed by the tusks? The mountain formed by iron ore?!”

Hearing this, Priest Thomas clenched the scriptures tightly and shouted in shock. A frenzy appeared on his face, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he even stabbed Tikalo, bowing his head slightly.

“That’s right! This is this place! His Highness has prophesied by divine revelation that a city will be built here! The fleet must arrive here, and the warriors of the kingdom will also arrive here… smelting iron ore, building fortresses, guarding against white-skinned demons, and suppressing them. Feathered Serpent Corpse!”
