I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 1 I was hunted down and I chose to jump into the sea
Crash - clatter -

The sound of waves lapping on the beach kept coming to my ears, and the cold spring wind brought a coolness to my body.

Roy woke up from his sleep and found that something had been licking his face.

Opening his eyes, he saw a small deer head appearing in his sight.

This was obviously a juvenile deer. After meeting Roy's eyes, the deer was startled and ran away from Roy in a panic.

"Why am I here?"

Roy sat up, glanced at the fawn running to his parents, and then looked around with a puzzled expression.

At this time, the place where Roy is is a grassland surrounded by olive trees, and many small animals can be seen looking for food.

Looking farther away, you can see hills about 100 meters to the south, east, and north.

To the west is the sea beyond the naked eye.

Roy tried hard to recall, but still couldn't figure out why he appeared in this very strange place.

Unable to understand the current situation, Roy stood up and was about to ask someone nearby for help.

When Roy walked out of a grove of more than a dozen olive trees, he happened to see a group of people coming from the north.

This is a group of very old fashioned people.

They wore linen clothes that looked as if they had wrapped the whole cloth around their bodies and fastened it with ropes at the waist and shoulders, and even they wore hand-woven straw sandals.

This group of people not only wore retro ancient windbreaker robes, but also carried bows and arrows, and held javelins made of sharpened wood.

Seeing this group of people carrying weapons, Roy instinctively had a premonition of danger.

But thinking that these people might be hunting animals that can be seen everywhere with bows, arrows and javelins, Roy let go of his guard, waved his hands and shouted at the group of people.

"Hello! I'm a foreigner who needs help, I hope you—"

Whoosh!
Before Roy finished speaking, someone in the group bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow at Roy.

Although separated by tens of meters, the arrow accurately hit Roy's right leg.

Indole!
It was like being bitten by a vicious goose, and intense pain came from Roy's right leg.

Roy lowered his head and saw that the arrow that hit his right leg had fallen to the ground.

It was an arrow shaved from wood, and because the arrowhead was also wood, it failed to pierce Roy's jeans.

If it were an iron arrow, it might be able to pierce jeans.

Roy's eyes widened, and he looked at the person approaching him in a daze.

I just want to ask them for help, why are they attacking me with weapons?

Don't these locals welcome foreigners?
At this time, the group of locals was less than 20 meters away from Roy, and Roy could clearly see the hostile expressions on their faces.

Driven by the premonition of danger in his heart, Roy suddenly turned around and ran away.

Seeing Roy running away, the group of locals said while chasing Roy.

"Catch this savage in trousers and don't let him get away."

"Keep an eye on the surrounding environment, don't fall into the ambush of the barbarians."

"Kill this barbarian and reward ten catties of grain."

barbarian?
I am a savage?
Hearing the voice behind him, Roy couldn't help cursing.

They wanted to kill foreigners as soon as they met. It was obvious that these locals were more like barbarians.

Savages in pants?
Am I a savage because I wear pants?

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
There was the sound of arrows piercing the air behind him.

Perhaps it was because the arrows used by the locals were all made of wood, so these arrows that could not fly far did not catch up with Roy who was running desperately.

When Roy ran out of breath and exhausted, the group of locals still persevered in chasing Roy.

Moreover, Roy found with some despair that although the group of locals didn't run fast, they were better at durable long-distance running than Roy.

In other words, if there were no accidents, Roy would definitely be caught by them in the end.

"Mobile...where is my phone? I have to get help..."

While running, Roy searched for the phone on his body.

As a result, I searched all the pockets on my body, but found no mobile phone.

Just when Roy's body was about to reach its limit, Roy suddenly stopped running.

Because Roy had already run to the edge of a cliff, and in front of him was the endless sea.

Roy, who has a fear of heights, glanced at the sea water below the cliff with lingering fear, then turned to look at the locals who were chasing him.

The group of locals all had smug smiles on their faces because they chased Roy to the edge of the cliff.

Their leader is a middle-aged man in his 30s, the leader said as he approached Roy with his companions.

"Outlanders! Don't do suspicious things to attack us. As long as you obediently become our captives and tell us about your plots, I will mercifully give you a chance to live."

Suspicious actions against you?
Thinking of waving to these locals just now and getting their wooden arrows to attack, Roy couldn't help but mocked.

"I don't have any malice towards you, but you want me to be captured as a prisoner without a fight. Although I can't swim, I would rather jump into the sea and drown than become your prisoner, and leave my life and death to you people to decide .”

After speaking, Roy turned around and jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

The group of locals ran to the edge of the cliff just in time to see Roy's body fall into the sea and set off a wave.

"It's a pity that I couldn't kill this barbarian with my own hands."

Hearing the regretful words of his companions, the local leader frowned and said.

"Perhaps we are mistaken. This barbarian is a loner, not a spy on our Athenian tribe. Although this barbarian wears trousers, he is not a blond Dorian. Maybe he is from somewhere else. foreigners."

Hearing the leader's judgment, someone couldn't help but say.

"If he is an ordinary outsider, shouldn't we attack him just now?"

The leader shook his head and said.

"For the safety of our Athenian tribe, we can kill a thousand foreigners by mistake, and we can't let go of an enemy who threatens us."

After speaking, the leader turned and led his companions away from the cliff.

In the sea below the cliff.

Roy's body kept sinking in the sea water. The harder Roy struggled to save himself, the deeper Roy's body dived.

At the last moment of his life, Roy opened his eyes to observe everything around him, and saw the beauty of the seabed.

Just when Roy was about to lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen, a huge sea snake with a beautiful blue armor appeared in Roy's sight and swam towards Roy at an extremely fast speed.

Are you here to eat me?
Looking at the huge sea snake, which may be over [-] meters in length, Roy smiled.

To be able to see such a miraculous and beautiful creature before death is worth it even if it becomes its food.

The next moment!

Roy's vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
