I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 244 Sun Serpent Goddess Vajit

In Egypt, the priests who served the gods had great power.

Priests not only served as pharaohs or governors of various city-states, but also hereditary nobles who owned territories.

At this time, the old priestess who came to Roy was only the village head in name, but her actual power was equivalent to the ruler of the village, so Roy did not despise her at all.

As the priestess of the goddess Vajit, the old priestess wears Egyptian priestly costumes, most notably a crown on her head.

The head crown of the old priestess is a snake made of gold. The snake's body is coiled into a ring and fixed on the head of the old priestess. It looks like a golden sun on the head of the old priestess.

Seeing the head crown of the old priestess, Aries said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the Egyptians here worship the goddess of snakes just like us."

"Although the goddess Vajit they worship is also the goddess of snakes, it is completely different from the goddess of snakes in our Kingdom of Athens."

Roy explained to Aries.

"The three goddesses of snakes in our Kingdom of Athens, the goddess Metis and the goddess Amphitrite are the sea snakes of the sea attribute, and the goddess Mnemosyne is the earth snake of the earth attribute. Vanessa who guards the city of Buto Goddess Gite, a sky-attributed sun serpent, was worshiped as the sun goddess by the Egyptians in Bhutto."

"The Snake of the Sun—"

Aries raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky in disbelief and said.

"How can a snake fly to the sky and become a sun goddess?"

"Ordinary snakes certainly cannot fly into the sky, so Goddess Vajit is a winged snake with long wings."

"Can a snake with wings still be called a snake?"

"Then you take Goddess Vajit as a winged dragon."

Seeing Roy and Aries whispering in words she couldn't understand, the old priestess suddenly looked at Roy angrily and said.

"You, a foreigner, can understand what I say, why don't you respond to me?"

Roy said to the old priestess with a faint smile.

"Grandma, you said that the temple behind you is Wajit's domain, but I only see that this temple is the home where you and your family live. You just want to protect your family with the authority of the gods."

"I am a priest serving the goddess Wajit, and my family and I should enjoy the protection of the goddess Wajit."

The old priestess said with a serious face.

"Outlanders, if you don't want to inadvertently offend Goddess Vajit, leave my village as soon as possible."

"That can't be done!"

Roy immediately shook his head and said.

"Not only will I not leave here, but I will also become the ruler of this village and build a great port city here - the city of Pharos. In order to achieve my goal, I must destroy you and level the city. A temple of Vajit that grants you dominion."

Hearing Roy's wild words, the old priestess said with an angry trembling body.

"You are indeed an evil bandit. Not only do you want to enslave us, but you also want to blaspheme the great goddess Wajit. If you don't give up your crazy ideas, Goddess Wajit will definitely punish you."

Roy ignored the threat of the old priestess and said directly to Aries.

"Aries, you lead the soldiers to occupy the Vajit Temple, and whoever dares to stop us will kill him."

"As ordered!"

Bai Yang accepted the order and immediately rushed to the temple of Vajit with fifty Athenian soldiers.

The two middle-aged men beside the old priestess led sixty men to stop them, and a fierce fight broke out with Roy's soldiers.

The 62 men who guard the Wajit Temple are composed of 25 descendants of the old priestess and 37 temple men.

Their combat power may be stronger than ordinary people, even stronger than peasant soldiers who serve as soldiers in wartime and farm in leisure time, but they are definitely not as good as the professional soldiers trained by Roy for a long time.

After seeing the start of the fight between the two sides, her descendants were killed one by one, the old priestess looked at Roy with hatred and prayed loudly.

"Great Goddess Vajit, now there are foreigners who hurt the priests who have been serving you and want to trample on your authority. Please send divine punishment to the foreigners who blaspheme the gods."

After the old priestess finished speaking, a wave of divine power immediately descended from the sky, turning into a huge ten-meter-long cobra with golden armor in front of the old priestess.

Except for Roy, no one else seemed to see the golden cobra, so the appearance of the golden cobra did not affect others.

Feeling the very weak fluctuation of the golden cobra's divine power, Roy said full of doubts.

"This cobra doesn't seem to have as much divine power as I do. Could it be that it's just a clone of Goddess Vajit?"

Priests who serve the gods are also divided into ranks.

Usually only the highest priest of the god or the high priest of a city can summon the god to descend in person.

The old priestess is just an ordinary priest who manages thousands of people in a village. It would be abnormal if she could summon Wajit's real body.

"Fizz-hiss-"

Vajit's cobra avatar is like a hunter staring at the prey. It first observes Roy, and then, with lightning speed, bared its fangs and bit Roy's neck.

Seeing this scene, Roy immediately turned sideways, not daring to let the cobra's fangs touch his body.

Although the goddess Wajit is only the patron saint of Bhutto City, her status is not only inferior to the storm god Seth [Zeus] and the sun god Amon who are competing for the throne of the god king in Egypt, but also inferior to the city of Sais. Knight, the patron saint of Egypt, but in ancient times more than 1000 years ago, Wajit, the sun snake, was also the queen of the gods above the Egyptian gods.

Before the emergence of the First Dynasty of Egypt, Bhutto City had always been an important city in Northern Egypt, and Wajit, the patron saint of Bhutto City, became the supreme god of Northern Egypt.

The image of the Sun Serpent-Vajit coiled around the sun is known as the sacred poisonous snake and is also the emblem of the crown of Northern Egypt.

After the first dynasty of Egypt unified northern and southern Egypt in name, Vajit became the patron saint of Egypt together with Nehbet, the vulture goddess of southern Egypt. The two queens on the

Now, more than 1000 years later, the glory of the goddess Vajit has become history, and Roy still dare not despise the former queen of the gods—even if Roy is only in front of Vajit's cobra clone.

After all, even ordinary cobras are poisonous to humans.

Goddess Vajit, as the goddess of cobra, is so poisonous that Roy avoids it.

Dodging the cobra's first attack, Roy immediately counterattacked, swinging the bronze spear with his right hand and stabbing the cobra's head.

puff!
Roy's spear blade pierced the cobra's head, and then pinned Wajit's cobra clone to the ground.

"you--"

With the sound of a surprised female voice, the cobra that Roy nailed to the ground turned into a ball of golden divine power, and then this ball of divine power turned into a goddess with a human head and a snake body, full of dazzling light.

The goddess looked at Roy with golden snake eyes and said.

"You are not an ordinary human being! Tell the god you serve, if you want to become my enemy, you must be prepared to be bitten by my fangs."

After speaking, the figure of the goddess disappeared.
