I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 212 Hestia's Blessing

Eleusis Village.

Roy and Pallas came here on fast horses, and saw a stone altar in the center of the village. Io and Argorid stood beside the altar with a group of Argos, obviously Waiting for my arrival.

After jumping off the horse, Roy came to Io excitedly and urged.

"Princess Io, I'm here now, hurry up and summon Goddess Hestia!"

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, you must first agree to our request."

Io said in a pleading tone.

"Because of the lack of food, my people are living without food, so I hope you can provide us with some food."

Hearing Io's request, Luo Yi looked up and down Io's body, and said with a playful smile on his face.

"There is no free food in the world. Even if you are my subjects, I will not let you get something for nothing."

Feeling Roy's gaze, Io said with a smile.

"As long as you can let my people live a normal life, you can do anything to me."

"Io—"

Algolid glanced at Io worriedly, then looked at Roy with dissatisfaction and said.

"King of Athens, I can lead the Argos soldiers to fight for you, and I can also do other things for you. Please don't do excessive things to Io."

"Argos, you really deserve to be Io's guardian!"

Roy looked at Algolid, thinking of the most important character around Io in the mythology of another world.

In the myth of Io, a hundred-eyed giant named Argos imprisoned Io, so that Io could never be free.

Later, Zeus ordered Hermes to kill Argos. Although Io was free, he also started a wandering journey from land to Egypt.

Obviously, the hundred-eyed giant Argos who imprisoned Io is probably the prototype of the Argos who guarded her beside Io.

These Argives have always guarded Io, so that Io can live in the Argos region.

Zeus ordered Hermes to kill Argos, symbolizing that the Mycenaeans killed the person who guarded Io, and since then Io has been involuntary.

Precisely because the guardians around Io are the enemies of Zeus and the Mycenaeans, the Mycenaeans will belittle them into hundred-eyed giants in mythology, and discredit them from guardians to monsters that bind Io.

"Algolid, haven't you figured out who you and Io are now?"

When he came back to his senses, Roy looked at Io and Algorid and smiled.

"Io's identity is a subjugated princess, and you are now the village chief who manages 500 people. To be more realistic, you and Io are civilians. Do you still want Io to marry the king of a certain city-state to be the queen?"

Seeing Algolid's angry expression because of Roy's humiliation, Io said immediately.

"Uncle Algolides, the King of Athens is right. Now I am a commoner girl, even if I can only serve the King of Athens as a concubine or maid, that is my honor."

"my child……"

Algolid said painfully.

"I have always regarded you as my daughter. I can't let you be happy. What's the point of my life?"

"Are you misunderstood?"

Roy couldn't help but said at this moment.

"I didn't want Io to sacrifice my body to serve me. I just wanted to use Io as a reason to attack the Argos region when I conquered the Argos region. Before that, in order to protect Io's Safe, I want Io to live in my palace."

Algolid said angrily.

"Io lives in your palace, how will she marry in the future."

"I can guarantee that I will not touch Io. I don't care whether she can marry or not. In short, she must live in my palace. This is the condition for me to provide you with food."

"Uncle Algolides!"

Io persuaded Algorid.

"If other civilian girls can become the concubine of the King of Athens, you will definitely not object, because it is better to be the concubine of the King of Athens than to be the wife of a common man. If this kind of thing is put on me, you have no reason to object."

"But you are the daughter of King Inarchus of Argos, the princess of our Argos. You are not a lowly commoner girl."

Looking at the obsessed Algolid, Io shook his head helplessly, and then said to Roy.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, I accept any request from you."

Roy smiled with satisfaction.

"Then get down to business!"

Io turned around and boarded the altar, then knelt at the highest point of the altar and prayed devoutly.

With the fluctuation of divine power in Io's body, a muffled thunder-like sound came from several thousand meters above the sky.

Boom!
A red-gold thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky and struck the ground behind the altar.

Including Io, others could only see the natural phenomenon of thunder falling.

Roy's eyes widened in shock, seeing Hestia descending behind the altar with a height of ten meters.

As a goddess who has lost her patron saint seat, Hestia is like a dull doll, but this does not affect her beauty in the slightest.

The tattered light red dress wrapped Hestia's graceful body, and her beautiful long hair was like a burning flame, casually hanging down to her waist.

Hestia's age looks like a young girl, her facial features are exquisite and flawless, her beautiful big eyes are like two rubies, and a blazing flame can be seen deep in her pupils.

Around Hestia's waist, there is a golden belt binding her slender waist, and her pair of beautiful ankles are also wearing golden strappy sandals.

Under Roy's gaze, Hestia stretched out his left hand to Io, and an invisible divine power immediately left Io's body and transferred to Hestia's left hand.

Then, Hestia moved his left hand to point at Roy, and a divine power poured into Roy's body from Hestia's left hand.

Roy suppressed the excitement in his heart, and when Hestia's divine power merged into his body, Roy immediately felt the changes in his body, and a wave of information appeared in his mind.

Name: Lowy

Divine protection: Blessing of Metis [Increase Wisdom], Blessing of Mnemosyne [Foretell the Future], Blessing of Aphrodite [Increase Charm], Blessing of Amphitrite [Copper Iron Bone], Hestia's Blessing [Speed ​​Boost]

Strength Level: Great Hero [Thousands of Enemies]

"Goddess Hestia's blessing is to increase my speed—"

After thinking about it for a while, Roy realized that Hestia's blessing had greatly improved his strength.

If Roy is a hero [Hundred Enemy], Hestia's blessing will increase Roy's speed, and Roy can only defeat a hero of the same level [Hundred Enemy] with faster speed.

Now Roy is a great hero [Enemy of a Thousand], Hestia's blessing increases Roy's speed, and Roy can defeat the hero of the same level [Enemy of a Thousand] with faster speed.

Even at the level of the demigod hero [Men Enemy], Roy can rely on Hestia's blessing to increase his speed and defeat the demigod hero [Men Enemy] of the same level.
