I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 125 Deucalion proposes a vassal
the next morning.

Inside the boudoir of Procne and Philomela.

Like a wife serving her husband, Procne and Philomela dressed Roy in a pure white cotton robe and a golden belt with a gold buckle.

After finishing the belt for Loype, Philomela threw herself into Loy's arms and said shyly.

"Brother Roy, will my little belly turn into a big belly in a month or two?"

Seeing that Procne was also curiously waiting for his answer, Roy reached out and hugged Procne in his arms and said.

"Don't think about it, you two, we won't make you pregnant if we sleep together."

"Then how do we get pregnant with Brother Roy's child?"

"That's not what you should know before you get married."

Hearing what Roy said, even Procne couldn't help puffing up his face and said.

"Brother Roy, don't treat us as children like your mother. I will be your wife soon."

"Then... let me explain briefly."

Roy lowered his head and whispered in the ears of Procne and Philomela.

"Only I will give the seed of life—"

After listening to Roy's explanation, Procne and Philomela, who had gained new knowledge, immediately fled from Roy's arms, and then the two sisters hid in a corner and whispered.

Roy took Procne and Philomela, and after breakfast with Deucalion, the distinguished guest, Roy asked Procne and Philomela to stay at the leader's house to handle the affairs of the city of Athens. I herself became Deucalion's guide.

Acropolis.

Roy and Deucalion walked to the edge of the Acropolis and looked down. They saw that the concrete walls formed a big circle, protecting all the residents of the city of Athens. Deucalion said excitedly.

"The city wall of Athens is an incredible miracle! Dear Priest Loi, can you tell me how to make this city wall? I am willing to use one hundred thousand catties of grain——I am willing to exchange one million catties of grain with you. "

Hearing Deucalion's words, Roy immediately had the idea of ​​pushing Deucalion down the Acropolis.

But Roy immediately suppressed this impulse and said.

"Prince Deucalion! Since the walls of the city of Athens are miraculous, they were not built by human hands. I learned the song of the Muses from the goddess of the earth in the area of ​​Thebes, and later I sang it on the Acropolis During the song of the muses, the stones on the ground will automatically glue together and become the city wall of Athens that we see now. If Prince Deucalion wants to learn the song of the muses, I can teach the song of the muses to You, but whether the goddess of the earth will help you create miracles is not something I can decide."

Of course Deucalion would not believe that the city wall of Athens was a miracle created by Roy singing the song of the Muses.

Roy fooled himself in the name of a miracle, apparently because he didn't want to hand over the method of making the city wall.

Seeing Deucalion staring at him solemnly, Roy said with a smile.

"Prince Deucalion doesn't believe me? You can ask the Athenians around you whether the city wall of Athens is a miracle."

Then, Roy turned his head and said to Aries and the others beside him.

"Tell Prince Deucalion how the walls of Athens came to be."

Aries and the others said immediately.

"The walls of the city of Athens are miracles created by the priests of Loi singing the song of the Muses."

"The civilization and technology of our city of Athens are so backward, it is impossible to create this incredible city wall."

"I saw Priest Loi performing miracles with my own eyes. The song of the Muse is really the song of the gods. Maybe the dead can be resurrected when they hear the song of the Muse."

Seeing that Deucalion still refused to believe it, Roy pointed to the stone house of the leader's house and the stone house of the Temple of Metis and said.

"Prince Deucalion, look at these stone houses on the Acropolis. If the walls of Athens were really made by us, we would have used the technology of making walls to build huge and luxurious palaces for the leader of Pandion and the goddess Metis. Palaces and temples."

The thoughts in Deucalion's mind finally wavered a bit.

Because as Roy said, if the Athenians had the technology to make concrete walls, there would be no reason for the leader Pandion to continue living in the old stone house, and the temple of Metis, the patron goddess of Athens, should not be an old stone house.

"It seems that you Athenians really don't have the technology to make city walls."

Deucalion said with a disappointed expression.

"Priest Loi! Our city of Knossos is a city of trade. Apart from olive oil, what other commodities can you sell in our city of Knossos?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"The Attica peninsula, where the city of Athens is located, is very barren. We can't produce any valuable commodities except olive oil, because Attica has neither copper nor gold mines."

"If your city of Athens is willing to become a vassal of our city of Knossos, our city of Knossos can provide some help to your city of Athens."

Seeing Roy's eyes widen in surprise, Deucalion said with a smile.

"Priest Loi, this is just a proposal of mine. Our city of Knossos will not force you, Athens, to become our vassal. But if you Athens becomes our vassal of Knossos, we will not only provide you with some Food will also help you when you are invaded by foreign enemies. Of course, when our city of Knossos is fighting against the enemy, your city of Athens should also respond to the call of King Minos of Knossos and send some soldiers to join us Legion."

"Prince Deucalion, I am not the real leader of the city of Athens, so whether the city of Athens will become a vassal of the city of Knossos is not something I can decide."

"Then wait for Chief Pandion to come back, and tell Chief Pandion my proposal. When you go to Knossos to participate in the spring plowing festival, then tell me Chief Pandion's decision."

After speaking, Deucalion turned and walked towards the Acropolis Gate of the Acropolis.

Roy followed Deucalion's footsteps and asked.

"Prince Deucalion, where do you want to go next?"

"Let's go to the port!"

Deucalion said as he walked forward quickly.

"Priest Luoy, the [-] catties of grain I promised to give you last night is in our cabin."

"Then I will now tell Prince Deucalion how the candles are made. Our candles are made of tallow and cotton—"

Port of Piraeus.

The pier where Deucalion's warships moored.

After the Knossos soldiers brought [-] catties of grain to Roy, Deucalion smiled and said to Roy.

"Priest Loi! I have already visited the city of Athens and invited you to participate in the Spring Plowing Ceremony. Next, I will visit other city-states, so let's bid farewell to each other here and wait for the next meeting!"

Hearing that Deucalion said he was going to leave, Roy nodded and said.

"I will always look forward to the next meeting with Prince Deucalion."

After the two exchanged farewells, Deucalion boarded the flagship of twelve warships and ordered the Knossos soldiers to set sail.

Under the watchful eyes of Roy and others, twelve Knossos warships set sail and sailed out of Piraeus Port.
