I was a priest in the city-state era

Pandion returned to the Acropolis in the dust, just to let Roy leave the city of Athens as soon as possible.

Now Roy is going to the city of Knossos to participate in the Spring Plowing Ceremony, and Pandion immediately hesitates.

"Honey!"

Danae rested her head on Pandion's shoulder and said with a smile.

"We can have Erechtheus rush back immediately to represent you in the Spring Plowing Ceremony of Knossos City, so that Roy can go to the Lavrio area as you plan."

Let Erechtheus go to the city of Knossos——

Hearing Danae's suggestion, Pandion shook his head without hesitation.

Going to the city of Knossos, thousands of miles away, will definitely be accompanied by many unknown dangers, and Pandion certainly will not let his heirs face these dangers.

So after hesitating for a moment, Pandion finally sighed and said.

"The city of Knossos is the most powerful city-state in the Aegean Sea, and we also need to buy food from the city of Knossos, so we cannot offend the city of Knossos. Since you have accepted Knossos on behalf of the city of Athens If you are invited by the city, then it’s up to you to attend the Spring Plowing Ceremony of Knossos City!”

Seeing that his father agreed with Roy to go to the city of Knossos, Procne took courage and said.

"Father! I want to go to the city of Knossos with Brother Roy."

"no!"

Pandion refused without hesitation.

"Going to the city of Knossos is very dangerous. I can't let you take risks with Roy."

"Father! I already belong to brother Roy."

Procne said with a firm face.

"If Brother Roy and I encounter a fatal danger, I am willing to fall into the underworld with Brother Roy. If Brother Roy can overcome the danger we encounter, and Brother Roy protects my safety, I will not be any harm."

"Procne—"

Roy was moved and ashamed that his gentle and well-behaved fiancée was willing to accompany him through life and death.

Pandion looked at his daughter helplessly and said.

"You must follow Roy to the city of Knossos?"

Procne nodded vigorously, and Pandion sighed.

"Then you go with Roy!"

Then, Pandion looked at Roy and said.

"Roy! Procne is your woman, and you must risk your life to protect her safety. If Procne is in danger, you don't have to appear in front of me again."

Roy said with a smile.

"My father-in-law doesn't need to threaten me like this. If I can't even protect my own woman, then how can I survive with dignity?"

Seeing that her father agreed with her sister to follow Roy to the city of Knossos, Philomela said with an excited smile.

"Father! I have never left the city of Athens in my whole life. Since my father agrees that my sister will go to the city of Knossos with brother Roy, then I will also go with brother Roy and my sister."

"no!"

Before Pandion could speak, Zeuxiper said.

"Philomela! Let Procne go to the city of Knossos. I am already very worried. If you leave too, my whole heart will leave with you."

Pandion frowned and said.

"Loy is Procne's future husband. He will fulfill his husband's responsibilities to protect the safety of his future wife. If you follow them to the city of Knossos, who will protect your safety?"

"Brother Roy will protect my safety, because I am also Brother Roy's -"

"Philomela!"

Seeing that Philomela was about to reveal that she was also Loy's future wife, Procne hurriedly shouted.

At this moment, Procne could not imagine how angry her father would be when he knew that both of his daughters were Roy's women.

After Philomela calmed down, she also understood that if she said something she shouldn't have said, Loy and Pandion would change from a seemingly loving son-in-law and father-in-law to a father-son fighting each other.

So Philomela could only change her words.

"I am also brother Roy's sister, so brother Roy will protect me like his sister."

“If I say no, it’s no.”

After rejecting Philomela with a strong attitude, Pandion looked at Roy and said.

"When you are ready tomorrow, take Procne to the city of Knossos!"

Temple of Metis.

Roy returned to his stone house and saw Chione already on the bed, warming himself up.

Seeing that Chione was just pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, Roy got into the quilt, held Chione in his arms and said.

"Tomorrow I will take Procne to the city of Knossos."

Chione immediately opened her eyes and said.

"Are you going to take me with you?"

"Won't!"

Roy shook his head and said.

"It is very dangerous to go to the city of Knossos, which is thousands of miles away. I am not even sure of protecting Procne, let alone the two of you, so you have to stay in the Acropolis."

"I will pray for you and Procne every day and ask the goddess Metis to protect you and return safely."

the next day.

Hearing the cockcrow at dawn, Roy woke up from his sleep, got up and dressed and went to the salt drying field guarded by Aries and others.

At this time, in the crystallization pond of the salt drying field, the saturated solution of table salt has turned into white salt particles.

Aries and others surrounding the crystallization pool looked at the salt grains and all showed excited smiles.

Because white grains of salt are as much a symbol of wealth as gold in this era.

Seeing Roy's figure, Aries said happily.

"Master Priest! Come and see, the sea water in the crystallization pool has turned into salt."

Roy walked to the crystal pool and took a look, then ordered.

"Aries! You go find some clay pots and put all the salt in the crystallization pond. Today I will take you to the city of Knossos again. We are going to bring these salts to the city of Knossos and exchange them for food."

Although he was full of doubts, Aries immediately carried out Roy's order.

After putting about two thousand kilograms of salt in twenty clay pots, Aries couldn't help but asked curiously.

"Master Priest, do you need to go to Knossos City in person? It is very dangerous to sail thousands of miles to Knossos City. You can let us go to Knossos City for food trade."

"If I didn't go to the city of Knossos, I would have to personally lead the Serifos people to migrate to the Lavrio area. Then my father-in-law ordered me not to return to the Acropolis at will without justifiable reasons."

Roy said with a meaningful smile.

"Although I have to go to the city of Knossos now, when I come back, I will have more time to prepare-"

what to prepare?

Roy didn't finish the rest of his sentence.

Seeing the confusion on Aries' face, Roy said with a serious expression.

"Aries! If my enemy is on the Acropolis, will you and your companions attack the Acropolis without hesitation?"

Aries are not fools.

Of course he knew that attacking the Acropolis was an act of declaring war on the leader Pandion.

So after hearing Roy's words, Aries immediately opened his eyes in disbelief.

Seeing Roy's expressionless face waiting for his answer, Aries took a deep breath and said.

"The enemies of the priest are in the Acropolis of Athens, so my companions and I will follow the priest to attack the Acropolis."
