I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 115 Perseus Prays for Blessing

Aries is Roy's follower, so he can accept the princess that Roy bestows without hesitation.

Pallas is Pandion's subject, even if Roy is Pandion's son-in-law, he can't just accept what Roy bestows.

After all, Pallas is not a child, he must understand that Roy gave him a noble and beautiful young princess, and he needs to pay a certain price.

After hesitating for a moment, Pallas looked away from the six princesses and said.

"My lord priest, my merits are not enough for me to get a princess as a reward."

"Captain Pallas! If I promise you that I won't compete with Erechtheus for the heir status, you don't need to choose between me and Erechtheus, are you still unwilling to accept my gift? ?”

"This……"

Pallas showed a hesitant expression on his face, and looked at the six princesses again.

As a commoner, it is undoubtedly a great honor to marry a noble and beautiful young princess.

Aries also bewitched at this time.

"Captain Pallas, this is our only chance to marry the princess. If we miss this opportunity, we will definitely regret it in the future."

After hesitating and struggling for a while, Pallas finally gritted his teeth and said.

"My lord priest, I want to get the oldest princess."

Roy immediately patted Pallas on the shoulder and smiled.

"No problem! From now on, Perseus' eldest sister belongs to you. Captain Pallas! From now on, you can proudly declare that you are the grandson-in-law of Acrisios, the king of Mycenae, the noble Mycenae." The royal family of Sydney."

People in this era are still too simple after all.

Pallas never expected that Roy, as a filial son-in-law, would directly compete with his father-in-law Pandion for the right to rule the city of Athens.

At that time, although Pallas does not need to choose between Roy and Erechtheus, he will have to choose between Roy and Pandion.

Peloponnese.

Argos region.

Mycenae.

While Perseus' mother and sisters were suffering various humiliations, Perseus was crying to his grandfather Acrisios about his misfortune in the palace of King Acrisios of Mycenae.

Knowing that his son-in-law Polydectes and his younger brother Diketes were killed by the Athenians, and that his daughter Danae and three granddaughters were also the trophies of the Athenians, Acrisius on the throne Looking at Perseus kneeling in front of him with pity, he said.

"Perseus—my poor grandson! Even if I were a hard-hearted old man, I would sympathize with your misfortune."

Perseus felt a chill in his heart to hear that Acrisios had said nothing about avenging himself, though that was to be expected.

After all, Danae is not only his mother, but also his daughter.

It seems that in the heart of the Mycenaean king, the interests of the entire Mycenaean group are the most important.

Perseus looked up and looked at Acrisios - the 60-year-old man's old face cried.

"Grandfather! Now my father and uncle have been killed by the Athenians, and the residents of Serifos Island have also been taken away by the Athenians. I have lost my foothold. How can I survive in this world?"

"My child, you are not only the prince of Serifos, but also my grandson!"

Acrisios stretched out his right hand and patted Perseus' head and said.

"Although I can't make you my heir, I can let you own a new territory and become the king of a city-state."

To be king over a city--

Of course, this did not satisfy Perseus' appetite.

For in the Mycenaean system, the Mycenaean king was the ruler of all Mycenaeans.

In other words, even if Perseus became the king of the city-state, he had to obey the orders of the king of Mycenae.

It is precisely because of this system of the Mycenaeans that Perseus’ goal is not to become the king of a certain city-state, but to inherit the identity and power of his grandfather Acrisios and become the common king of all Mycenaeans. king.

As long as Perseus becomes the king of Mycenae, the vast territory owned by the Mycenaeans will become Perseus' territory.

"Dear grandfather, I am willing to obey all your arrangements."

Although Perseus has the ambition to become the heir, he can't expose this ambition, because his current strength is not enough to defeat all competitors, let alone directly seize power from his grandfather Acrisios.

Hearing what Perseus said, Acrisius nodded in satisfaction and said.

"Perseus! I will send messengers to Athens immediately to redeem your mother Danae and your sisters."

In fact, Perseus was not keen on rescuing his mother and sisters.

Because the more miserable his experience is, the more sympathy and care he can get from his grandfather Acrisios, but he can't object to Acrisios' redemption of his mother and sisters.

"Grandfather! My family suffered such a tragedy, which made me deeply aware of my own weakness. Now I beg my grandfather, I hope you, as the highest priest of the great god Zeus, will grant me the blessing of Zeus."

Hearing Perseus' request, Acrisius did not immediately agree.

Because Perseus is already a young hero, giving Perseus the blessing of Zeus will accelerate the growth of Perseus into a great hero.

Once Perseus grows into a great hero [A Thousand Enemies], Acrisius' sons and grandsons will not have enough strength to compete with Perseus for the position of heir.

Thinking of his dead son-in-law Polydectes and Danae, who had become a spoil of war for the Athenians, and seeing Perseus's pitiful tear-stained face, Acrisius finally nodded and said.

"I can ask the great Zeus to bless you, but you have to fight for the Mycenaeans and help us defeat the Corinthian king Sisyphus who is unwilling to surrender."

Acropolis.

"Brother Roy..."

"Brother Roy..."

When Roy woke up from the hangover last night, he heard the voices of Procne and Philomela calling to him.

"Sure enough, drinking too much wine can make people drunk!"

Roy whimpered and opened his eyes.

Seeing Procne and Philomela standing beside his bed, Roy said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Am I dreaming? It is impossible for Procne and Philomela to come to me so early."

After speaking, Roy closed his eyes.

"Brother Luoy, it's really my sister and I, you are not dreaming."

Seeing that Roy really wanted to continue sleeping, Philomela immediately shook Roy's arm.

Procne explained with a smile.

"Brother Loy! Father and brother Erechtheus left Athens early in the morning with five hundred soldiers to attack the Lavrio tribe in the south of the Attica peninsula. Now Philomela and I don't have to suffer from my father Control, so we will come to you early in the morning."

Hearing Procne's words, Roy opened his eyes and said.

"My mother-in-law agrees that you come to me so early, isn't she worried?"

Procne turned her head to avoid Roy's gaze, blushing and whispering.

"My mother said that I am already Brother Luo Yi's fiancée. If Brother Luo Yi messes with me, my mother will arrange for us to get married tomorrow."
