I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 257 The Platinum King of Endless White Salt

The journey from Avaris City to Tanis City is not too far away, but ordinary people may not be able to reach it by walking for a day.

Because on the roads away from the city, there may be beasts like sideburn dogs, crocodiles, leopards, and even lions.

Pedestrians traveling alone who trespass into the territory of these beasts are likely to become their targets.

Therefore, in this era, even if people went to cultivate land outside the village, at least three or more people would go together.

Roy hugged Andromeda in the princess's arms and headed for Tanis City in a straight line. Although he stepped into the territory of many beasts and even lions on the way, under the protection of Roy, Andromeda did not suffer any harm. .

The natural scenery seen along the way also opened the eyes of Andromeda, who lived in the palace most of the time.

Along the way, Roy introduced the lives and habits of various animals to Andromeda, which made Andromeda admire Roy's profound knowledge.

Tanis City.

When the time was approaching evening, Roy finally carried Andromeda to the current trade center of Egypt—it was also the wealthiest city in Egypt.

Roy hugged Andromeda's slender waist, and the two walked into the streets of Tanis City together. Andromeda immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

Like Andromeda, the goddess who came to the world wearing golden shoes, whether it is her beauty or the golden ornaments on her body, it can make people have greedy ambitions.

Andromeda felt the malicious eyes around her, and hugged Roy's waist tightly with both hands, as if this would increase her sense of security.

Roy lowered his head and comforted Andromeda's ear.

"Andromeda, no one can hurt you before me."

Andromeda said with a sweet smile.

"I know you can protect me."

The two walked across the street to the port area of ​​Tanis City, and Andromeda asked curiously.

"Why are we here?"

"We want to go to the Fallows area, and the fastest way is to take a boat here."

"But it's getting dark! Even if I've never been out at sea, I know ships don't usually set out at night."

"Andromeda, we just need to choose the boat we will take tomorrow, so that we can set off early tomorrow morning. After the boat is selected, we will find a place similar to a hotel in Tanis City for one night. .”

After hearing what Roy said, Andromeda immediately blushed.

Because she had already thought that in order to ensure safety, perhaps the two of them would spend the night in the same room tonight.

After this night, even if nothing happened between the two of them, others would think that Andromeda was Roy's woman.

For her reputation to be ruined by Roy, Andromeda didn't have much resistance, because she had already made up her mind to marry Roy.

Just when Roy saw a large cargo ship and was about to ask the sailors on board, Roy suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Loy, king of Athens?"

Roy turned his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a 40-year-old Phoenician businessman walking towards him with a group of followers.

The Phoenician businessman stopped in front of Roy, and Roy looked at the familiar face of the Phoenician businessman and said.

"you know me?"

The Phoenician businessman first glanced at Andromeda in astonishment, and then said with a smile.

"With such a beautiful princess by your side, you are indeed His Majesty the King of Athens."

Hearing what the Phoenician businessman said, Roy complained with a dissatisfied expression.

"What do you mean? Are you judging whether I am the King of Athens's standard? Don't you judge by my face, but by whether there are beautiful girls around me?"

"Hahaha - His Majesty the King of Athens, don't be angry!"

The Phoenician businessman couldn't help laughing.

"Although I have seen your face, there will inevitably be people with similar or even identical faces in the world. That's why I saw a beautiful and noble princess by your side, so I can confirm that you are really the King of Athens himself."

Then, the Phoenician businessman bowed respectfully to Roy.

"Great King of Athens, I am honored to meet you in Tanis City. Maybe you don't have an impression of me, but I saw you at the port of Athens City."

Roy took the initiative to reach out to help the Phoenician businessman and said.

"My lord, now I am just a foreigner who came to Tanis city, you don't have to treat me like the king of Athens. I assure you, you treat me like an ordinary foreigner now, it is not good for you to trade in Athens city will have any effect."

The Phoenician businessman obviously didn't take what Roy said seriously, and looked behind Roy in awe and said.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, I can't see any followers by your side. Are you and the princess the only ones here?"

Roy nodded.

"My subordinates are all in the Faros area! Now we are looking for a ship to go to sea, and we will set off by boat tomorrow morning."

After hearing what Roy said, the Phoenician businessman said excitedly.

"His Majesty the King of Athens, I can arrange a ship to take you—"

Before he finished speaking, the Phoenician businessman changed his words.

"I can give you a ship and all the slave sailors on it. But in return, I hope you will be my guest and let me entertain you and the princess as my host."

Hearing what the Phoenician businessman said, Andromeda showed a surprised expression.

Unexpectedly, the Phoenician merchant not only wanted to give Roy a ship and the slave sailors on board, but also asked for Roy to be his guest in return.

Even if Andromeda didn't know much about sailing, he still knew that a sturdy ship and a group of young slave sailors were worth at least one hundred thousand catties of grain.

The Phoenician businessman took the initiative to use such a huge wealth to please Roy. What is the charm of Roy?
Seeing Andromeda's surprised and puzzled expression, the Phoenician businessman explained with a smile.

"Beautiful princess! Do you know that the price of salt is as precious as gold? The white salt produced by the kingdom of Athens ruled by your future husband is like endless. We merchants call His Majesty the King of Athens the owner of endless white salt." Your future husband not only possesses endless wealth, but is also the most powerful king in the Aegean Sea. Maybe it will not be long before His Majesty the King of Athens will become the most powerful king in the Mediterranean Sea. The greatness of His Majesty the King of Athens, will surpass all kings who ever lived."

After listening to the Phoenician businessman, Andromeda frowned and said.

"My lord, are you exaggerating? South Egyptian Pharaoh Kamose, isn't he just a young ruler whose territory is larger than Loy's, and his personal strength is also better than Loy's?"

"South Egyptian Pharaoh Kamose is not worthy to be compared with His Majesty the King of Athens!"

The Phoenician businessman shook his head and said.

"Everything owned by South Egyptian pharaoh Kamose was inherited from his ancestors. But His Majesty the King of Athens was the founding father of a great kingdom. And His Majesty the King of Athens turned the Athenian tribe into the current Athens Kingdom, it only took three short months. As long as you know the deeds of the King of Athens, no one doubts that the King of Athens will become a demigod hero stronger than Kamose, and even become a god after death-become a pillar of immortality God of Heroes."
