I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 249 Cepheus and Andromeda

Accompanied by Ramses II, Roy went very smoothly to the center of Avaris City and entered the brightly lit palace.

Roy and Ramses II passed through the gate of the palace, and saw hundreds of oil lamps burning olive oil on the road leading from the palace courtyard to the palace hall, and more than a dozen palace maids patrolling back and forth. Add olive oil for lamp oil.

The two entered the palace hall through the luxurious road burning olive oil. Roy saw that the splendid hall decorated with gold ornaments and golden bronzes was like a palace of gods. Phus, with a golden crown on his head, and a golden mask on his face.

Perhaps this golden mask is the golden mask of Agamemnon that became a famous cultural relic in another world.

The name of this golden mask is Agamemnon, but it has nothing to do with Agamemnon.

Because the age of Agamemnon is 1000 BC, the age of the golden mask is at least 500 BC.

Cepheus, who wears a golden mask to hide his face and expression, looks like a majestic god sitting on a throne.

On the left and right sides of the hall, not only noble men from Avaris City sat, but also Perseus and Minos whom Roy knew. They were obviously mercenaries recruited by Cepheus for food.

What made Roy frowned was that there were many young and beautiful women in the hall.

Some of these women are fair-skinned white beauties, some are yellow-skinned yellow beauties, some are brown-skinned brown beauties, and some are black-skinned black beauties.

All the beauties surrounded the guests of Cepheus in groups of three or four, and had unsightly frolicking with them.

Seeing Roy and Ramses II enter the hall, two beauties immediately rushed towards Roy and Ramses II with flattering smiles on their faces.

Roy pushed away the woman who rushed towards him expressionlessly and said.

"Don't come near me, go serve another man!"

After speaking, Roy strode to the center of the hall, looked at the Egyptian king Kepheus on the throne and said.

"King Cepheus of Egypt! I am Loi, King of Athens, and I have come to see you."

Seeing that Roy was talking to Cepheus as an equal, the Hyksos nobles and Egyptian nobles in the hall accused Roy one after another.

"You are just the king of a small city-state, how dare you speak like that to the rulers of all Egypt."

"His Majesty Cepheus is the god-son of Seth [Zeus], ​​the great king of the gods, and you are only human."

"Quickly bow your head and bow your head to see His Majesty."

Even if the Egyptian kingdom ruled by Cepheus is now divided into four parts of the world, the territory controlled by the Hyksos can still reach more than four times the size of the Athens kingdom.

Therefore, compared with Cepheus, Roy can only be regarded as the king of a small country.

After the Hyksos nobles and Egyptian nobles accused Roy and showed their loyalty to Cepheus, Cepheus on the golden throne raised his right hand and said in a calm tone.

"Greece is an area with backward civilization after all, please forgive him. Young man, I welcome you on behalf of the Kingdom of Egypt. You can sit with Perseus and Minos!"

Seeing that Kefus treated him with the attitude of an elder to a junior, Roy immediately frowned and said.

"Your Majesty Cepheus, I have something more important to tell you than enjoying the banquet as a guest."

Kepheus responded with an unquestionable tone.

"Night is the time to enjoy the banquet. No matter what you have to do, you should wait until tomorrow."

The Hyksos are so eager to enjoy themselves—

It is no wonder that in just over 100 years, the Hyksos have gone from dominating the whole of Egypt to being conquered by the Southern Egyptians in turn.

Just when Roy was about to speak, a girl in a white cotton dress with gold ornaments on her hands, feet and neck, who looked as dazzling as a goddess, entered the hall from the back door and walked towards Cepheus on the golden throne.

Seeing this goddess-like noble and beautiful golden girl, Roy couldn't help but fell into a daze.

The girl is about 17 years old. Although she is a black-haired West Asian, she has snow-like skin.

The girl's face is exquisite, small, cute and beautiful, just like a perfect doll. Her figure is slender and charming, her waist tightly bound by a golden belt can be held with one hand, and there are stars-like light spots in her black pupils like the night sky.

She was beautiful enough to be praised as a goddess—or even more beautiful than a goddess.

Seeing the girl walking up to Kepheus and whispering, Roy immediately held his breath nervously to avoid disturbing the girl and Cepheus with the sound of his breathing.

When the girl finished whispering to Cepheus and left the hall, Roy also guessed her identity.

Andromeda - the only daughter of King Cepheus of Egypt.

It is said that Andromeda is more beautiful than the goddess, so Perseus regards her as the target of marriage, but Roy never believed it.

Because in Roy's view, Perseus wanted to marry Andromeda just to become the heir to the throne of Cepheus.

Now Roy finally believed that the legend of Andromeda was not exaggerated.

After watching Andromeda leave, Roy hesitated for a moment before deciding to accept Cepheus' arrangement for him.

Although Roy originally wanted to use his identity as the king of Athens to have an equal dialogue with King Cepheus of Egypt, but according to his age, Cepheus can indeed be regarded as Roy's elder.

Your Majesty Cepheus, from the first moment I saw your daughter, I recognize you as an elder——

After silently saying this in his heart, Roy walked over to Perseus and Minos.

"Loy!"

As soon as Roy sat down, Perseus said very dissatisfied.

"Did you stare at Andromeda just now? I must tell you that Andromeda will be my wife, so you can no longer stare at her disrespectfully."

Roy laughed and teased.

"Perseus, His Majesty Cepheus has made an engagement between you and Princess Andromeda?"

"no!"

Perseus frowned.

"But I am the most promising suitor to marry Andromeda. Except for you, the king of Athens, other suitors are not as good as me. You must remember that you are already the son-in-law of my stepfather Pandion, your I already have my step-sisters Procne and Philomela by my side. If you dare to have unreasonable thoughts about Andromeda, I will immediately send an envoy to the city of Athens to let Procne and Philomela know You betrayed them."

In order not to let himself become his rival in love, Perseus was willing to recognize Pandion as his stepfather, and threatened himself with Procne and Philomela.

Roy said expressionlessly.

"Don't worry, women will only affect the speed at which I increase the territory of the Kingdom of Athens. I'm not interested in women now."

After the conversation between Roy and Perseus was over, Roy looked around and saw a strangely dressed young man who looked neither like a Hyksos nor an Egyptian sitting beside Minos .

Looking at the young man who was different from others, Roy couldn't help asking.

"Strange friend, who are you?"

"I am John, the leader of the Bright Clan."

The young man said to Roy with a smile.

"Our Guangming people serve the omnipotent Almighty God, and only believe in Almighty God, and think that other gods are false gods."
