I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 229

No one in the world is a fool who would take the initiative to challenge an enemy far stronger than himself.

When the city of Sparta wanted to compete for interests with the city of Donia, the city of Donia was not yet part of the Kingdom of Athens, and the city of Sparta challenged an enemy whose strength was similar to its own.

Now that Hera knew that Donia was part of the Kingdom of Athens, and Roy also wanted to keep peace with Sparta, Hera certainly had no reason to continue the war.

Seeing the reconciliation between Roy and Hera, Persephone looked at Hestia and Pandora and said.

"Now we are no longer hostile. I will share some of my divine power with you so that you can also leave this uninhabited island."

After speaking, Persephone stretched out her hands towards Hestia and Pandora.

Two strands of golden divine power immediately gushed out from Persephone's palm and merged into the bodies of Hestia and Pandora.

After a moment.

Persephone withdrew her hands and came to Hera, hugged Hera's slender waist with her left hand, held Hera's left hand with her right hand, and poured divine power into Hera from her palm.

Gaining the divine power of Persephone, Hera's back showed white wings.

Then with a flutter of wings, Hera took Persephone out of the cave and flew towards the Peloponnese Peninsula in the northwest direction.

After Hera and Persephone left, Hestia took the initiative to speak.

"Brother Luoy, let's leave here too! Do you want to follow me back to the Attica Peninsula, or follow Pandora back to Donia City?"

"Sister Hestia, I still have a lot of things to settle in Donia City."

Hearing Roy's answer, Hestia said with a smile.

"Then I'll go back to the Attica peninsula alone."

After speaking, Hestia's body turned into a streak of red-gold lightning and flew away from the cave.

Only Roy and Pandora were left in the cave, and Roy asked Pandora blankly.

"Why didn't you tell us about our real relationship? Did you never think about marrying me from the beginning?"

Pandora said with a sigh.

"When I was so downcast that I was completely suppressed by Europa, and my city of Donia might be conquered by the city of Knossos at any time, I really thought about the possibility of marrying you. It’s different when you’re down, you and I—gods and humans are different lives after all. If you were a god and I was a human girl, would you be willing to marry me and let me share your eternal life and divine power?”

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"The divine power originally controlled by me alone becomes shared by two people, which means that I lose half of my divine power. I can marry you, but I will not let you share my divine power."

"From our personal interests, you also think that gods should not marry humans. In the eyes of others, a goddess who wants to marry a human man is like your human princess who wants to marry a poor beggar. Would you Bless and praise the human princess who married a beggar, or ridicule and humiliate her?"

"If a human princess married a poor beggar, I would definitely laugh at her stupidity and ignorance. It is impossible for a beggar who has no ability to get himself out of poverty to make the princess happy."

Hearing Roy's answer, Pandora and Roy looked at each other and said.

"Then you should be able to understand that I shouldn't marry you, whether it's for my own benefit, or what other gods or even humans think of me."

In the mythology of another world, the Mycenaeans humiliated and belittled the goddess of the enemy. The main way was to let the goddess of the enemy marry a human man, or even become a human man's lover.

A goddess who has fallen to be a lover of a human man is naturally not worthy of human awe and worship.

Those goddesses who were belittled and humiliated by the Mycenaeans were certainly not the goddesses worshiped by the Mycenaeans and other Greeks.

For example, Aphrodite, who has many human lovers and demigod sons in mythology, is the patron saint of the island of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean, and has nothing to do with the Greek region or the Greeks.

When the Greeks invaded the western part of the Asia Minor peninsula and the eastern Mediterranean, Aphrodite and the island of Cyprus were still in the hostile camp of the Greeks.

Another goddess, Eos, who has many human lovers in mythology, is also not the goddess of the Greeks and the Greek region, but the patron goddess worshiped by the enemies of the Greeks.

In the myths fabricated by the Mycenaeans, the local Greek goddesses are all pure and self-loving, and the goddesses worshiped by the enemies of the Greeks are all depraved by nature and have many human lovers.

no doubt--

A goddess marrying a human man, or even taking a human man as a lover, will be regarded as a fallen goddess in the eyes of gods and humans.

Of course Roy knew that if a goddess married a human man, she would definitely be ridiculed and humiliated by gods and humans.

So Pandora didn't want to marry her, and Roy wasn't really angry.

"Pandora, I can understand your thoughts, but I will not give up letting you marry me."

Roy stretched out his hands and grabbed Pandora's shoulders, then said with a serious expression.

"In order to take care of your feelings, I will hold our wedding after I live to become a hero god."

After death, the hero god who became a god, even lost his body, of course he couldn't marry Pandora, let alone have a child with Pandora.

That's why Roy became a hero god alive, so he can marry Pandora as a hero god.

"Loy..."

Pandora stared at Roy with wide eyes in surprise, and finally took a deep breath and said.

"Without you, I would still be a desolate goddess completely suppressed by Europa. If you can really achieve unprecedented achievements and live to become a heroic god, I will marry you sincerely and share my eternal life with you."

After finishing speaking, Pandora took the initiative to move her cherry lips to bite Roy.

This was Roy's first intimate contact with the goddess.

An indescribable feeling hit Roy's brain instantly, making Roy almost lost in the ocean of pleasure.

Roy felt that his sanity was like this nameless island under his feet.

Although surrounded by endless sea water, it has never been submerged by sea water.

After an unknown amount of time, Roy and Pandora reluctantly parted, and Pandora, who was blushing, lowered her head and said.

"Now let's go back to Donya City!"

"Um……"

Roy recalled the wonderful feeling just now, and agreed to Pandora's proposal without hesitation.

The two left the cave and went outside. Seeing that the rainstorm had stopped and only the strong wind was still blowing on the sea, Roy walked behind Pandora and hugged her waist and said.

"Will this affect your wings? If it will affect you, I will go in front of you."

"Hold tight!"

Pandora grabbed Roy's hands at her waist with both hands, and said in a serious tone.

"If you fell into the sea halfway because you didn't hold me tight, I can't save you, because I'm a sky god who can't swim."

After speaking, a pair of black wings appeared on Pandora's back.

As Pandora vibrated its wings, the bodies of the two left the ground in an instant, flying to a height of hundreds of meters.

After confirming the direction of Donia City, Pandora took Roy to Donia City with astonishing speed.

Only then did Roy understand why Pandora was worried about falling into the sea.
