I was a priest in the city-state era

Acropolis.

The stone hall of Chief Pandion.

Two maids knelt beside the bronze tripod, adding fuel to the fire under the bronze tripod.

This fire not only illuminated the hall with firelight, but also gradually heated the cold water in the bronze tripod.

The Pandion family sat around a stone table, and Philomela told her parents and eldest brother about today's strange experience.

Pandion, Pandion's wife and eldest son Erechtheus listened with smiles, obviously taking Philomela's words as an interesting story.

Philomela added after finishing speaking.

"Father! Mother! I know you won't believe it. Now let my sister light a candle for you to prove that Priest Roy's inventions are true."

After speaking, Philomela looked at Procne and winked at her sister.

Procne looked at her sister with a doting smile, then walked to the bronze tripod with a candle, and lit the candle with the fire under the bronze tripod.

When Procne returned to the stone table with the candle and looked at the light of the candle, Pandion, Pandion's wife and Erechtheus immediately opened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

Although they had already learned about the existence of candles from Philomela, only when they saw it with their own eyes did they truly believe that candles could be used for lighting.

"This is the candle invented by Priest Loy——"

Pandion said, looking at the candle carefully.

"Incredible! His wisdom is so incredible. Not only can he cure diseases and save people, he can also invent new things."

As the leader of the Athenian tribe, Pandion has far more vision than ordinary people.

At this time, he had already thought that trading candles as a commodity could obtain a lot of wealth for the Athenian tribe.

"Father, Priest Roy invented not only candles, but also toothpaste and unfinished paper. In order to use toothpaste and paper, Priest Roy also invented toothbrushes and brushes. These two things require the use of horsetail hair. Father doesn't mind us. Pluck your horse?"

In this era, horses are not something that ordinary people can tame.

Among the Athenian tribe, only the leader Pandion kept four horses and occasionally rode on horseback to patrol the territory.

Hearing Procne's words, Pandion said with a smile.

"As long as Priest Roy's invention is valuable, you can kill all my horses."

"Since my father agrees with these inventions, do you agree with us continuing to use supplies?"

Pandion nodded and said.

"I have no reason to object! After all, turning these things into commodities can be exchanged for more bronze and grain."

Pandion's wife said with a worried expression.

"Dear! After these miraculous inventions are spread among the Athenian tribes, the authority of the Roy priests will become greater and greater, which is not a good thing for us. I think we should take precautions and kill the threat in advance. ”

Hearing her mother's words, Procne showed a nervous expression, but did not dare to say anything against it.

Because she can also understand that her mother wants to protect the interests of the entire family.

Of course Pandion also understands that because of Roy's identity, the more things Roy invents, the greater the threat to the leader's family.

"Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

Pandion promised his wife.

"Although I want to use him to strengthen the Athenian tribe, I will not let him become a threat to us. As long as he has inappropriate ideas, I will deal with him immediately."

Philomela couldn't help but mutter.

"In addition to my father being the big leader, doesn't the Athenian tribe also have two minor leaders? Could it be that the threat of Priest Roy is greater than the minor leaders?"

Pandion's wife put her hand on Philomela's little head and said while using her head to kill.

"Silly boy! We can allow the two little leaders to exist because they have no ambitions, let alone the ability to threaten us. Priest Roy's ability is obviously a threat to us. If he has undue ambitions, his threat It will be bigger than the little leader.”

Philomela seemed to understand, and threw herself into her mother's arms like a baby and said.

"Priest Roy is the most interesting person I have ever met. He has a lot of knowledge that even my father does not have. It would be a pity if he died."

the next day.

The crow of a cock came from nowhere, awakening Roy from his sleep.

Perhaps because he has not adapted to this world, Roy's sleep has always been very light, and he will wake up immediately if there is any disturbance.

Roy put on his clothes and shoes and walked out of the stone house. He saw six male servants and six maids coming out of the wooden houses on the left and right sides of the stone house.

Seeing that Roy, the master, had gotten up, the six maids hurriedly gathered around Roy and knelt down and said.

"Master! We woke up too late and failed to serve the master. Please punish us."

Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"I am an unmarried man and I don't need you to help me get up. You are slaves and you don't deserve to see my naked body."

After using the perfect reason to prohibit the maids from serving him when he got up, Roy continued.

"Bring the water, toothpaste and cotton cloth, I want to wash my face and brush my teeth."

After the maids started busy, Roy ordered the six male servants.

"The toothpaste I made yesterday, there is also a bowl for you. After you wash up, continue to light a fire under the bronze tripod to boil the paper pulp, and strive to make the finished paper today."

The six male servants also got busy after hearing Roy's order.

Not long after, Procne and Philomela came to the temple with a group of male and female servants, bringing breakfast and water to Roy and others.

In the stone house of the temple.

Roy enjoyed breakfast accompanied by Procne and Philomela. Looking at Roy's wolfing down, Procne said with a smile.

"Priest Roy! After seeing the candle you invented, my father has agreed that you can use more materials."

"Chief Pandion is really worthy of being the legendary King of Athens. It seems that he can understand that my invention is of great help in improving the strength of the Athenian tribe."

Pandion would support Roy's invention, which was completely within Roy's expectations.

After eating breakfast like a whirlwind, Roy immediately stood up and said.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! Today we will go to pull horsetail hair to make toothbrushes and brushes. Then we have to make ink and find magnets to make a floating compass. With the compass, I will draw a nautical chart of the eastern Mediterranean from memory, and the Athenian tribe can conduct long-distance trade."

Compass?

Navigation chart?

This is something that Procne and Philomela can't understand.

Although they don't understand, they still think Roy is amazing.

After all, what Roy is going to invent is something new that they have never even heard of.

Seeing Roy's confident look, Procne felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, and her cheeks were hot.

Realizing that she had feelings for Roy that she shouldn't have, Procne hurriedly calmed herself down and said with her head down at the ground.

"Priest Roy, let's go to the warehouse now! Father has already affirmed the value of candles. I think we should use more oil and make more candles for father. As long as you can get father's recognition and appreciation, it will be of great benefit to you..."

Although she felt inexplicably throbbing for Roy, Procne still didn't say that her parents regarded Roy as a potential threat.
