The Mayan Lord Bigtik shook his head vigorously.
He slapped the armrest fiercely, and his voice suddenly rose, with a bit of regret and unwillingness: "Hey! You don't know what I gave you!"
"I originally planned to keep it for myself. It's my favorite cocoa bean that has been roasted to a fragrant aroma and can be ground into paste!"
At this point, the Mayan Lord Bigtik's eyes changed.
He actually began to recall the drink made from cocoa beans.
"Oh! Fragrant cocoa beans, addictive cocoa beans!"
"It tastes bitter, spicy, and mellow. Just one sip will make you feel refreshed."
Having said that, the Mayan Lord Bigtik's eyes dimmed again.
"Alas, I have no choice but to send it away."
"Holy Egypt is so powerful now. We Maya cannot afford to offend such a civilization."
"Especially the Holy Pharaoh. You should have seen him at that time, right?"
"He is a person who can summon the Supreme God, the Sun God Ra!"
"Tell me, among all the civilizations and kingdoms we know of, is there any king who stands above the gods?"
"Why!"
"Fortunately, we sent reinforcements in the end. Otherwise, I don't know how difficult it would be to get on good terms with the Saint Pharaoh again."
Mayan Lord Bigtik said this and sighed again.
Then he continued.
"You didn't see the look in the eyes of that little clerk from Holy Egypt. Even though it was only for a moment, it was as sharp as a knife."
"But I can understand why he would react this way. If someone broke into our sacred place where the 'Mother of the Jungle' is located, our priests would have the same reaction, or even be more aggressive."
"But because of this, I always feel that he will go and complain to Saint Pharaoh."
"I immediately asked someone to send precious feathers and various jades, but the most important thing is..."
"I gave you a pound of roasted cocoa beans! A whole pound!"
When the high priest heard this, his face changed and he was so shocked that he almost dropped the wooden staff in his hand.
His voice was filled with disbelief: "What?!"
"You actually gave me a pound of cocoa beans?"
"Great Lord, that is a rare thing in our rain forest!"
"The production of cocoa beans is pitifully small, but this pound of roasted cocoa beans is more precious than feathers and jade in your eyes!"
"You...just gave it away like that?"
Upon hearing this, Mayan Lord Bigtik smiled bitterly.
He felt like something was pressing on his chest, and the only way he could do was to stand up to relieve the pressure and make his breathing a little smoother.
Otherwise, every time he thought of the cocoa beans he gave away, he would feel as if he had lost his soul.
It was a rare form of entertainment for him as a Mayan lord.
So, the Mayan lord Bigtik could only say helplessly: "Do you think I want to give it to you?"
"If it weren't for the fact that Saint Egypt is now so powerful that it makes people breathless, why would I be so humble? Hurry up and order someone to send the things over?"
Having said that, the Mayan Lord Bigtik took another deep breath, and even his knees seemed to go weak.
He kept sighing and breathing in and out, and he even started to feel a little short of oxygen.
"What's more, I was the one who was at fault in this matter, so I can only take it."
"When I accidentally stepped on the flowers that day, I heard the young clerk call that place 'The Miracle of His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh'. Just think about it, it's a miracle!"
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh!"
"I am a foreign lord, and I have trampled on someone else's miracle. If this gets out, where will I put my face?"
"What about the relationship between Holy Egypt and Maya?"
"Not to mention, Saint Pharaoh now has a large army and the city is fortified."
"There are four or five ancient gods in Egypt alone, and there is even a supreme god."
When Mayan Lord Bigtik said this, his voice even began to tremble.
"No...no...there's still the devil! There's still that scary devil!"
"Their gods appear one after another. If I don't send something valuable to them, what will Maya do if they turn hostile?"
"The Hebrew Empire is no match for them!"
Upon hearing this, the high priest was stunned for a long while before slowly coming back to his senses.
Then, the high priest exhaled a long breath from his nostrils. He frowned and said, "Cocoa beans are indeed a valuable gift. Lord, you really spent a lot of money this time."
Then, the high priest's expression became slightly more relaxed: "But don't worry too much."
"Since the Holy Pharaoh accepted the gift, he had dealings with us before."
"Not to mention that we are allies now, he shouldn't make too much of a fuss about this. After all, creating an enemy is not a good thing for Saint Egypt, which needs a break."
"As for us, we need to think about how to get Maya to keep up with this trend, so that we won't always be suppressed by Saint Egypt."
As soon as the Mayan lord Bigtik heard this, he immediately waved his hand.
He sighed, "It's not easy to keep up with this momentum!"
"You haven't seen their [Sky Garden]. When I stood there and looked at it, I felt that our Rainforest Pyramid Palace immediately looked half a head shorter."
"The people of Holy Egypt call that a miracle, and they don't just say that!"
"That high platform, that stream, that garden full of flowers and plants, that big [pyramid], those strange big stones, which one of them can we build?"
"So, when I stepped on the flower, I immediately panicked, fearing that the young clerk would use this as a handle and exaggerate the matter to tell Saint Pharaoh."
