I was a priest in the city-state era

After hearing the words of the goddess Mnemosyne, Roy asked in shock.

"Mnemosyne, you are not responding to the sacrifices of these Phoenicians because of me, but because the Phoenicians responded to my sacrifices?"

Seeing Roy's reaction, Mnemosyne said expressionlessly.

"Didn't anyone tell you that unless the god you serve has a good relationship with other gods, it would be considered a very rude and offensive act to perform sacrificial rituals for other gods."

"No wonder the goddess Aphrodite came and said I was wasting her time——"

Roy said suddenly.

"Is my behavior of holding sacrificial rituals for other gods the same as a man who already has a wife going to hook up with another girl?"

"That's it!"

Mnemosyne said with a joking smile.

"The fact that you held a sacrificial ceremony for me is not only an offense to me, but also may cause dissatisfaction to the goddess you serve if she finds out about it."

"Like a cheating husband who gets caught by his wife?"

Roy said with a wry smile.

"Goddess Mnemosyne, because no one taught me how to be a priest, I did this. In the future, I will remember what happened today and will not hold sacrificial ceremonies for other gods without authorization. "

Then Roy turned to all the Phoenicians and said.

"Comrades! The goddess Mnemosyne has accepted our sacrifice. In the future, we can be protected by the great goddess Mnemosyne in the territory of the goddess Mnemosyne."

Although the Phoenicians could not see the form of the gods, they believed that Loy, as the god's favored priest, had the ability to communicate with the gods.

Knowing that they could be protected by the local goddess Mnemosyne, the Phoenicians knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly at the altar.

Roy turned around, only to see that the goddess Mnemosyne did not look at the Phoenicians who worshiped her, but looked at herself with deep meaning.

"Mnemosyne, do you have something to tell me?"

"No!"

After denying Roy's suspicions, Mnemosyne stood up, left the altar, and returned to the summit of Mount Helicon.

After the sacrificial ceremony, the Phoenicians continued to be busy making fires for cooking. Taurus dissected the carcass of the sacrificial sika deer, and then made the sika deer meat into barbecue.

It's noon.

The Phoenicians made several pots of oatmeal in a bronze tripod, and Taurus also brought roasted venison to Loy.

Seeing that many Phoenicians were attracted by the venison, Roy stood up and said loudly.

"Taurus! Since everyone eats oatmeal, of course I have to eat the same food as everyone else. If you want me to eat venison, cut the venison into two hundred and fifty pieces so that everyone can follow me. Share the venison.”

After saying that, Roy walked to a bronze tripod and served himself a bowl of oatmeal porridge in a pottery bowl.

Seeing Roy eating oatmeal with everyone instead of eating the fragrant venison, the Phoenicians all looked at Roy in surprise.

Because their former leader Cadmus regarded himself as a prince of noble blood and would not share the joys and sorrows with them at all.

After Roy finished the bowl of oatmeal, Taurus held the venison in confusion and said.

"Priest Roy, you are a noble priest and leader. Do you really want to share food with us?"

The simple Taurus obviously doesn't know that sharing the joys and sorrows of rulers with ordinary people is actually a way to win people's hearts.

Roy looked at Taurus with a serious expression and said.

"Taurus! If people can't eat the same food as me, I'll never take a bite of venison."

Faced with Roy's tough attitude, Taurus could only use a knife to cut off a small piece of venison and said.

"Priest Roy, I will distribute the venison to each of my companions. This is your venison."

Roy took the venison from Taurus and patted his shoulder with his left hand.

It was evening in a blink of an eye.

While the Phoenicians were cooking oatmeal for dinner, Harmonia led dozens of Thebans into the woods.

Seeing that Harmonia brought so many Thebans, and besides Harmonia and the five Thebans following her, the dozens of Thebans behind her were all fully armed. The soldiers and Phoenicians all gathered together nervously, worried that Harmonia and others were coming to attack them.

Roy stood up warily, walked up to Harmonia and asked.

"Priest Harmonia, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the reactions of the surrounding Phoenicians, Harmonia said with a smile.

"Priest Roy, you don't need to be so nervous. I brought these five young leaders to worship the ancient spring of Dierce. I didn't mean to harm these Phoenicians."

The Thebans regarded the ancient fountain of Dilce as one of the incarnations of the goddess Mnemosyne, and they did have reason to worship the ancient fountain of Dilce.

Roy looked at the Phoenicians around him and said.

"Comrades! The Harmonian priest only brought people to worship the goddess Mnemosyne."

Roy then made way for Harmonia.

Harmonia brought the five little leaders to the altar, and then she and the five little leaders bowed down to worship the altar.

After the ceremony of worshiping the altar was over, Harmonia walked up to Roy alone and whispered.

"Priest Roy! I am the only leader of our Thebes tribe. Those five little leaders are the leaders of the five nearby Thebes tribes. I summoned these five little leaders to the Thebes tribe to hold a ceremony. Important meeting, I hope you can attend this meeting."

Gurgle--

Thinking of attending the Harmonia meeting, he would be able to eat rich and delicious food in the Harmonia palace, and Roy's stomach immediately made a hungry cry.

Roy looked at Harmonia awkwardly, then nodded and said.

"Priest Harmonia, I accept your invitation."

When night fell.

Harmonia took Roy and the five little leaders back to her palace stone house.

Walking into the hall of the stone house, seeing the maids lighting a bonfire in the fireplace to illuminate the hall, Roy immediately asked the maid.

"Aren't the candles I taught you to make ready?"

Hearing Roy's words, a maid immediately came in from outside with a few candles.

Roy took the five candles from the maid, then walked to the fireplace, and said while lighting the candles with the fire.

"Since the candles are ready, you should use the candles to illuminate according to the method I taught you."

After that, Roy walked to the stone table with the lit candles and placed the candles on the stone table to illuminate the surroundings.

Looking at the candles on the stone table, not only the five little leaders who saw candles for the first time, but also Harmonia, who already knew that candles could illuminate, stared at the candle flames with wide eyes in surprise.

After coming to his senses, Harmonia said to the five little leaders.

"Before our meeting begins, I will formally introduce him to you. He is the priest of the Athens tribe. The god he serves is Metis, the goddess of wisdom and the sea. These candles were invented by the priest of Roy. Our Theban tribe was able to defeat the Phoenicians who invaded our territory, and I was able to defeat Cadmus, the leader of the Phoenicians, all because of the help of the priest of Roy. Because the priest of Roy is the benefactor of me and the Theban tribe, I invited him to our meeting."
