I was a priest in the city-state era

the next morning.

Inside the boudoir of Procne and Philomela.

Procne and Philomela dressed Roy in pure white cotton robes and a golden belt with gold buckles, just like a wife serving her husband.

After putting on the belt for Roy, Philomela threw herself into Roy's arms and said shyly.

"Brother Roy, will my belly turn into a big belly in a month or two?"

Seeing that Procne was also waiting for his answer with a curious expression, Roy reached out and held Procne in his arms and said.

"You two, don't think so wildly. You won't get pregnant if we sleep together."

"Then how can we get pregnant with brother Roy's child?"

"This is not something you should know before getting married."

Hearing Roy's words, even Procne couldn't help but puff up her face and say.

"Brother Roy, don't treat us like children like a mother. I will become your wife in a short time."

"Then... let me explain briefly."

Roy lowered his head and whispered into the ears of Procne and Philomela.

"Only I will give the seed of life——"

After listening to Roy's explanation, Procne and Philomela, who had gained new knowledge, immediately ran away from Roy's arms, and then the two sisters hid in a corner and whispered.

Loy took Procne and Philomela and had breakfast with Deucalion, the distinguished guest. Loy asked Procne and Philomela to stay at the leader's house to deal with the affairs of the city of Athens. He himself became Deucalion's guide.

Acropolis.

Roy and Deucalion walked to the edge of the Acropolis and looked down at the surroundings. They saw that the cement city wall formed a large circle, protecting all the residents of Athens. Deucalion said excitedly.

"The walls of Athens are truly an incredible miracle! Dear Priest Loy, can you tell me how to make this wall? I am willing to use one hundred thousand catties of grain - I am willing to use one million catties of grain in exchange for you. "

After hearing Deucalion's words, Roy immediately had the idea of ​​pushing Deucalion off the Acropolis.

But Roy immediately suppressed the impulse and said.

"Prince Deucalion! Since the walls of the city of Athens are miraculous, they were naturally not built by manpower. I learned the song of the Muses from the Earth Goddess in Thebes, and later I sang it on the Acropolis When the Song of the Muses was played, the stones on the ground automatically bonded together and turned into the wall of Athens we see now. If Prince Deucalion wants to learn the Song of the Muses, I can teach him the Song of the Muses. You, but whether the Earth Goddess will help you create a miracle is not something I can decide."

Of course Deucalion would not believe that the walls of Athens were a miracle created by Roy singing the song of the Muses.

Roy used the name of miracle to fool himself, obviously he didn't want to hand over the manufacturing method of the city wall.

Seeing Deucalion staring at him solemnly, Roy said with a smile.

"Don't Prince Deucalion believe what I say? You can ask the Athenians around you if the walls of Athens are a miracle."

Then, Roy turned to Aries and the others beside him and said.

"Tell Prince Deucalion how the walls of Athens came to be."

Aries and others said immediately.

"The walls of Athens were miracles created by the priests of Roy singing the songs of the Muses."

"Our civilization and technology in the city of Athens are so backward that we simply cannot create such incredible city walls."

"I saw with my own eyes that Priest Roy performed miracles. The song of the Muses is really the song of the gods. Maybe the dead can be resurrected when they hear the songs of the Muses."

Seeing that Deucalion still refused to believe it, Roy pointed at the stone house of the leader's house and the stone house of Metis Temple and said.

"Prince Deucalion, look at these stone houses on the Acropolis. If the walls of Athens were really made by us, we would have used the technology to build huge and luxurious palaces for the leader Pandion and the goddess Metis. Palaces and temples.”

Deucalion's thoughts finally wavered.

Because as Roy said, if the Athenians had the technology to make cement walls, there would be no reason for the leader Pandion to continue to live in an old stone house, and the temple of Metis, the patron goddess of Athens, should not be an old stone house.

"It seems that you Athenians really don't have the technology to build city walls."

Deucalion said with a disappointed expression.

"Priest Roy! Our city of Knossos is a city of trade. In addition to olive oil, what other products can your city of Athens sell in our city of Knossos?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"The Attica Peninsula, where the city of Athens is located, is very barren. We can't produce any valuable commodities except olive oil, because there are neither copper nor gold mines on the Attica Peninsula."

"If your city of Athens is willing to become a vassal of our city of Knossos, our city of Knossos can provide some help to your city of Athens."

Seeing Roy's eyes widen in surprise, Deucalion said with a smile.

"Priest Roy, this is just a proposal of mine. Our city of Knossos will not force your city of Athens to become our vassal. But if your city of Athens becomes our vassal of Knossos, we will not only provide you with some Food will also help you when you are invaded by foreign enemies. Of course, when our city of Knossos is attacking the enemy, your city of Athens must also respond to the call of King Minos of Knossos and send some soldiers to join us. Legion.”

"Prince Deucalion, I am not the real leader of Athens, so whether Athens should become a vassal of Knossos is not something I can decide."

"Then wait for Chief Pandion to come back, and tell him my proposal. When you go to Knossos to participate in the spring ploughing festival, tell me Chief Pandion's decision."

After that, Deucalion turned and walked towards the Acropolis Gate of the Acropolis of Athens.

Roy followed Deucalion's steps and asked.

"Prince Deucalion, where do you want to go next?"

"We go to the port!"

Deucalion said as he walked forward quickly.

"Prince Roy, the 20,000 kilograms of grain I promised to give you last night is in our cabin."

"Then I will tell Prince Deucalion how to make candles now. Our candles are made of animal fat and cotton thread--"

Piraeus Port.

The pier where Deucalion's warships were moored.

After the Knossos soldiers moved 20,000 kilograms of grain to Roy, Deucalion smiled and said to Roy.

"Priest Roy! I have visited the city of Athens and invited you to participate in the spring ploughing festival. Next, I will visit other city-states, so let's say goodbye to each other here and wait for the next meeting!"

Hearing Deucalion say that he was leaving, Roy nodded and said.

"I will always look forward to meeting Prince Deucalion next time."

After the two said goodbye to each other, Deucalion boarded the flagship of the twelve warships and ordered the Knossos soldiers to set sail.

With Roy and others watching, the twelve Knossos warships set sail and sailed out of the port of Piraeus.
