I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 287 The Goddess Will Have to Marry

Hearing Goddess Knight's concern, Roy couldn't help but say.

"Pallas [Spear Swinger]! In order to thank you for your help, I will enshrine you as the new patron saint of Atribis City!"

Goddess Nate immediately widened her eyes in surprise.

After all, Atribis City has become her new territory, and she will have more divine power and greater authority.

"Loy—you are so kind! I knew that things would turn out like this. You should have told Henti Heti just now that I wanted to capture the city of Atribis, so you drove Henti Heti away. Get down from the throne of God. In this way, the target of Henti Heti's resentment is me, not you as a human being."

"But I don't like to lie! And I kicked Henti Heti off the throne in your name, which is equivalent to saying that I will obey your orders. I am a priest who serves the goddess Metis, how can I obey other gods Order!"

"Then you enshrine me as the patron saint of the city of Atribis. Will Metis be angry if he finds out? After all, you are the priest who serves Metis, so you should dedicate the new territory to Metis! "

"I will dedicate the port city of Pharos to the goddess Metis!"

Roy explained helplessly.

"If possible, I also want to enshrine the goddess Metis as the patron saint of the city of Atrebis. But the Egyptians here have never heard of the goddess Metis, and I don't want to force them to accept a strange god. Nai Goddess Special! You are a native Egyptian god with a thousand-year history, and the people of Atribis know you very well, so they will easily accept you as the new patron saint."

"It seems that you value the Kingdom of Athens—or your own interests—more than the interests of Metis."

"That's right! I will not put the interests of the goddess Metis above the interests of me and the Kingdom of Athens."

Just as Roy was about to end the conversation between the two, Goddess Knight suddenly asked.

"Roy! You always call me Pallas [Spear Swinger], so why don't you call Metis Athena [Goddess of Athens]?"

"Uh--"

Roy said with a strange face.

"Pallas, although the goddess Metis is indeed an unmarried Athenian maiden goddess [Athena], she may marry in the future, so I don't think [Athena] is suitable to be another name for the goddess Metis. Pallas The name Lars [Spear Swinger] is different, whether you get married or not in the future, it can be another name for you."

"Why do you think that Metis will get married in the future and lose his identity as the goddess of Athens [Athena]? Our gods are eternal life. We don't need to marry and have children like humans to continue our lives!"

"Even if you say that - the goddess Mut of Thebes city, she married Amon, the patron saint of Thebes city, and became the wife and subordinate god of the sun god Amon."

"The sun god Amon, the moon god Kongsi, and the goddess Mut are all gods in the city of Thebes in southern Egypt. If the goddess Mut had not become the wife of Amon, and the moon god Kongs had not become the son of Amon, they would have The worship of faith will be wiped out. Goddess Mutt didn’t want to marry Amon voluntarily, she had to marry Amon.”

After listening to Goddess Knight's explanation, Roy said with a smile.

"This kind of thing that has to marry a certain man may inevitably happen to the goddess of the Kingdom of Athens in the future."

After finishing the conversation with Goddess Knight, Roy found his soldiers and began to manage the city of Atribis.

The first is to drive away the priests and nobles of Atribis City. If they don’t want to leave, they demote their whole family into slaves and send them to Sun City to build a pyramid for Kamose.

Then it is to take over the land and food left by the priests and nobles. With the land, the land distribution policy can be implemented, and with the food, more soldiers can be recruited.

Finally, the Henti Heti Temple was changed to the Knight Temple, so that the people of Atribis City believed that their city was still guarded by the gods.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

When the policies of the Kingdom of Athens were carried out in an orderly manner in the city of Atrebis, the arrival of three Athenian soldiers broke the peace of the city of Atrebis.

The Governor's Palace in Atribis City.

Hearing the news brought by the three Athens soldiers, Roy said with wide eyes in shock.

"You just said - Andromeda has left Sais City?"

Seeing the three Athenian soldiers nodded, Roy's expression changed from surprise to anger, and he clenched his hands into fists and said angrily.

"I handed over the city of Sais to Andromeda, and she dared to betray my trust and leave without authorization—"

Roy got up and left the seat, and said as he walked outside.

"I'm going to find Andromeda now, and the city of Atribis will be managed by you."

Hearing what Roy said, the three Athenian soldiers were frightened.

"Your Majesty, we are just three ordinary soldiers, how can we take on the important task of managing a city?"

Three Athens soldiers ran to Roy, trying to persuade Roy to change his mind.

Roy said impatiently.

"Just let you manage a city with a population of 3. On average, you only need to manage 1 people. As long as you manage it according to the laws and policies of the Kingdom of Athens, I won't blame you if something goes wrong."

Seeing Roy's firm attitude, the three Athenian soldiers had no choice but to accept the burden of managing the city of Atribis.

After leaving the city of Atribis on a fast horse, Roy drove directly to the city of Avaris.

Because Roy could guess without thinking that Andromeda would leave Sais City because she must have known about her father Cepheus being seriously injured on the battlefield.

Although her daughter was justifiably worried about her father, Roy still couldn't forgive Andromeda for betraying her trust.

two hours later.

Roy's fast horse couldn't support it and collapsed to the ground, and the gate of Avaris City also appeared in front of Roy.

When night falls.

Roy entered the city of Avaris with his restored horse, and headed for the palace of Cepheus.

royal palace.

Because the soldiers guarding the gate recognized Roy, Roy entered the palace smoothly.

After tying the horse to the lawn of the courtyard, Roy asked several palace maids for directions, and soon came to the palace where Cepheus was recuperating.

When Roy walked into the palace, he saw Kepheus lying weakly on the big bed, and several priests were treating Cepheus' wounds.

Andromeda and her mother Cassiopeia looked at Cepheus with worried eyes while weeping.

Kepheus's injury, even in the era after 600 years, is still a serious injury that may kill him.

In this era of backward medicine, Cepheus survived entirely because he had the tenacious life and strong physique of a demigod hero.

Andromeda and Cassiopeia were so worried because this was a fatal injury for ordinary people.

Behind Andromeda and Cassiopeia stood Perseus and Phineus, who also looked at Cepheus with worried eyes.

Noticing Roy's arrival, Perseus turned and looked at Roy in surprise and said.

"Roy—how did you come to Avaris City?"

As if he didn't hear what Perseus said, Roy walked up to Andromeda who turned around, and slapped Andromeda hard on the face with his right hand.
