I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 126 Perseus Redeems His Sisters

After watching Deucalion's fleet leave the port, Roy was about to order Aries to transport [-] catties of grain back to the Acropolis, when Aries suddenly pointed to the distant sea and said.

"My lord priest, another fleet is approaching our port."

Roy turned his head in the direction of Aries' finger, and saw ten large merchant ships sailing into Piraeus Port.

Recognizing that the newly appeared fleet was a cargo fleet, Roy immediately said with a smile.

"It was a big cargo ship carrying merchandise, no wonder our fishermen didn't come back to port to sound the warning."

When the fishermen of Athens were fishing in the waters of Athens, once they found a fleet that threatened the city of Athens, they would return to the port as quickly as possible and report the news of the foreign fleet to the Acropolis.

Fishermen do this not only for the safety of themselves and their families, but also because they will be rewarded handsomely.

If the fishermen did not return to the port to issue a warning, it means that the large fleet approaching the port is a cargo fleet that poses no threat to the city of Athens.

Under the watchful eyes of Roy and the others, ten large cargo ships soon entered the port of Piraeus and berthed at the pier where Roy and the others were.

Just when Roy guessed where the cargo ship fleet came from, Perseus appeared on the flagship deck and said.

"Loy! I've brought the [-] catties of grain you asked for, and return my three sisters to me."

"Perseus!"

Unexpectedly, the fleet of cargo ships in front of them turned out to be grain transport ships of the Mycenaeans.

Roy said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you Mycenaeans to send the ransom so quickly. I will return your three sisters to you."

Then Roy ordered Aries.

"Aries, bring the three sisters of Perseus."

After Aries nodded and left, Perseus also ordered the Mycenaean soldiers to move the grain in the cabin to Roy.

Seeing that Perseus didn't intend to disembark, Roy joked to Perseus.

"Perseus! Although you led the Mycenaeans to attack the city of Athens, I also led the Athenians to attack the island of Serifos and killed your father Polydectes and uncle Diketes, but I am still willing to treat you as a guest."

Perseus said expressionlessly.

"Loy, you not only left me with the shame of defeat, but also killed my father and uncle. Before I complete my revenge on you, I will not set foot on the land of the Athenians as a guest without hostility."

"That's such a pity! Now if you don't want to set foot on the land of the Athenians, you won't be able to see how the Serifos live in Athens."

"The Serifos are no longer my subjects, so why should I care about them?"

"It seems that you really only want to be the king of tens of thousands of Mycenaeans, and you don't care about the lives of four thousand Serifos."

"Humph!"

Perseus snorted coldly and stopped communicating with Roy.

It was not long before the Aries brought the daughters of Dicetis, the three cousins ​​of Perseus, to the port.

Seeing that Roy asked him to redeem the three cousins, Perseus said angrily on the boat.

"Loy! Why don't you let me redeem my sisters with the same father and mother?"

"Perseus, do you think I deliberately kept your sister?"

Roy said with an innocent look on his face.

"You really misunderstood! I didn't let you redeem your sisters because all three of your sisters have husbands like your mother Danae. Your mother Danae was given to the leader of Pandion by me, Now Chief Pandion should be your stepfather, and Chief Pandion's family is your new family, don't you really want to go with me to the Acropolis to meet your new family?"

"Loy—"

Facing Roy's verbal humiliation, Perseus could only hold back his anger and said.

"I have already given you [-] catties of grain, now I can take my three cousins ​​away!"

"of course can!"

Let Perseus's three cousins ​​board Perseus's boat, Roy continued to tease Perseus.

"Perseus, you don't need to be disappointed. Although the three daughters of Diketes are only your cousins ​​in name, you should know that your mother Danae has a special relationship with your uncle Diketes. , maybe your three cousins ​​are also your half-sisters."

Perseus didn't want to quarrel with Roy, so he could only shout angrily at the Mycenae soldiers.

"Set sail! Get out of this loathsome port at once."

After Perseus' fleet left the port of Piraeus as if fleeing, Aries asked suspiciously.

"My lord priest, why did you humiliate Perseus like that?"

"I killed Perseus' father, Polydectes, and uncle Diketes, and I have become sworn enemies with Perseus. As long as Perseus has the opportunity, he will definitely kill me .As long as I have the chance, I will definitely kill Perseus. Since Perseus and I are sworn enemies, I certainly cannot let go of any opportunity to humiliate Perseus."

Roy turned around, looked at Aries with scrutiny and said.

"Aries! Do you feel sorry for your uncle because I gave you Perseus's sister as your wife?"

Aries hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

"Everything I have now is given to me by the priest. How can I feel sorry for the enemy of the priest because of a woman. The enemy of the priest is my enemy. I will kill Perseus's sister now, let I myself became the sworn enemy of Perseus."

"Don't say stupid things!"

Roy reached out and grabbed Aries' shoulders, pulling him up from the ground and saying.

"Since I gave you Perseus's sister as your wife, I won't worry about you betraying me for your wife."

"Master Priest, you really believe me..."

"What I can give you is something you absolutely cannot get from Perseus, so I believe you will not be so stupid as to betray me and the city of Athens."

Roy smiled confidently.

"You don't need to kill your wife to prove your loyalty to me, but if your wife makes you betray me, then you must make the right choice."

Aries nodded immediately.

"If my wife asks me to betray my lord priest, I swear that I will kill my wife."

"You don't have a wife, I will take you to grab a younger and more beautiful unmarried princess to be your wife."

Patting Aries' shoulder with his right hand, Roy turned around and looked at the [-] catties of grain piled together.

In order to feed 50 Serifos, the city of Athens needs at least [-] catties of additional grain.

Now that there is an extra 45 catties of grain, Luo Yi still needs to get [-] catties of grain.

"What should I exchange for food as a commodity?"

Listening to the sound of waves beating against the beach, a flash of inspiration flashed in Roy's mind.

seawater--

seawater--

As long as you dry the seawater, you can get white gold-salt.

Thinking of using seawater to dry salt, Roy immediately said with a joyful smile.

"Aries! Now I don't have to worry about food. As long as we turn the endless seawater into table salt, we can get endless food."

Aries smiled along with Roy, and then asked suspiciously.

"My lord priest, the salt you are talking about...what is it?
