I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 129 Must Go to Knossos City

Pandion returned to the Acropolis in a hurry, just to let Roy leave Athens earlier.

Now that Roy was going to Knossos to participate in the spring plowing festival, Pandion immediately fell into hesitation.

"Honey!"

Danae said with a smile, resting his head on Pandion's shoulder.

"We can ask Erechtheus to come back immediately to represent you in the spring plowing ceremony in Knossos, so that Roy can go to the Lavrio area according to your plan."

Send Erechtheus to Knossos—

Hearing Danae's proposal, Pandion shook his head without hesitation.

Going to the city of Knossos, thousands of miles away, would definitely be accompanied by many unknown dangers. Of course, Pandion would not let his heirs face these dangers.

So after hesitating for a moment, Pandion finally said with a sigh.

"Knossos is the most powerful city-state in the Aegean Sea, and we need to buy food from Knossos, so we cannot offend Knossos. Since you have accepted Knossos on behalf of Athens If you are invited by the city, then let you go to the spring plowing ceremony in Knossos city!"

Seeing that his father agreed with Roy to go to the city of Knossos, Procne summoned up his courage and said.

"Father! I want to go to Knossos with brother Roy."

"no!"

Pandion refused without hesitation.

"Going to Knossos is a very dangerous thing. I can't let you follow Roy to take risks."

"Father! I already belong to brother Roy."

Procne said with a firm face.

"If brother Roy and I encounter a fatal danger, I am willing to fall into the underworld with brother Roy. If brother Roy can overcome the danger we encounter, and with brother Roy to protect me, I will not be hurt. any harm."

"Procne—"

The gentle and well-behaved fiancée was willing to live and die with him, Roy was both moved and ashamed.

Pandion looked at his daughter helplessly and said.

"You must follow Roy to the city of Knossos?"

Procne nodded vigorously, and Pandion said with a sigh.

"Then you go with Roy!"

Then, Pandion looked at Roy and said.

"Roy! Procne is your woman, you must risk your life to protect her safety. If Procne is in danger, you don't have to appear in front of me again."

Roy said with a smile.

"Father-in-law doesn't need to threaten me like this. If I can't even protect my own woman, then what face do I have to live on?"

Seeing that her father agreed that her sister would go to Knossos with Roy, Philomela said with an excited smile.

"Father! I have never left the city of Athens since I grew up. Since my father agrees that my sister will go to Knossos with Brother Luoy, then I will go with Brother Luoy and sister."

"no!"

Before Pandion could speak, Zeuxiper said.

"Philomela! Let Procne go to the city of Knossos, I am already very worried. If you also leave, my whole heart will leave with you."

Pandion frowned and said.

"Loy is Procne's future husband, and he will fulfill his husband's responsibility to protect the safety of his future wife. You follow them to the city of Knossos, who will protect your safety?"

"Brother Roy will keep me safe, because I'm also Roy's—"

"Philomela!"

Seeing that Philomela was going to say that she was also Roy's future wife, Procne hurriedly shouted.

At this moment, let his father know that the two daughters are Roy's women, Procne can't imagine how angry his father will be.

After Philomela calmed down, she also understood that if she said what she shouldn't have said, Roy and Pandion would change from a loving son-in-law and father-in-law on the surface to a father and son fighting each other with swords drawn.

So Philomela could only change her words.

"I'm also brother Roy's younger sister, so brother Roy will protect me like a sister."

"I said no and no."

After rejecting Philomela with a strong attitude, Pandion looked at Roy and said.

"Tomorrow, when you are ready, take Procne to the city of Knossos!"

Temple of Metis.

When Roy returned to his stone house, he saw that Keone was already warming herself on the bed.

Seeing that Kaone was just closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep, Roy got into the quilt, hugged Kaone in her arms and said.

"Tomorrow I will take Procne to the city of Knossos."

Kaone immediately opened her eyes and said.

"Are you going with me?"

"will not!"

Roy shook his head and said.

"Going to the city of Knossos, which is thousands of miles away, is very dangerous. I don't even have the full confidence to protect Procne, and I don't even have the confidence to protect the two of you, so you have to stay in the Acropolis."

"I will pray for you and Procne every day, and ask the goddess Metis to protect you and return safely."

the next day.

Hearing the crowing of the cock at dawn, Roy woke up from his sleep, got up and dressed, and went to the salt field guarded by Bai Yang and others.

At this time, in the crystallization pool of the salt field, the saturated solution of table salt has turned into white salt grains.

Aries and others surrounding the crystallization pool looked at the salt grains and all showed excited smiles.

Because the white salt grains are a symbol of wealth like gold in this era.

Seeing Roy's figure, Aries said happily.

"My lord priest! Come quickly and take a look, the seawater in the crystallization pool has turned into salt."

Roy walked to the side of the crystal pool and took a look, then ordered.

"White sheep! Go find some clay pots and fill all the salt in the crystallization pool. Today I will take you to the city of Knossos again, and we will bring the salt to the city of Knossos to exchange for food."

Although he was full of doubts, Aries immediately carried out Roy's order.

After packing about two thousand catties of salt in twenty clay pots, Aries couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

"Master Priest, do you need to go to Knossos City in person? It is very dangerous to travel thousands of miles to Knossos City. You can let us go to Knossos City for food trade."

"If I don't go to the city of Knossos, I can only take the Serifos to migrate to the Lavrio area. Then my father-in-law ordered me not to return to the Acropolis without a valid reason."

Roy said with a meaningful smile.

"Although I have to go to the city of Knossos now, when I come back, I can have a little more time to prepare—"

what to prepare?
Roy didn't finish the rest.

Seeing the doubt on Aries' face, Roy said with a serious expression.

"Aries! If my enemy is in the Acropolis, will you and your companions attack the Acropolis without hesitation?"

Aries is no fool.

Of course he knew that attacking the Acropolis was an act of declaring war on the leader Pandion.

So upon hearing Roy's words, Aries immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.

Seeing Roy waiting for his answer blankly, Aries took a deep breath and said.

"My lord priest's enemy is in the Acropolis of Athens, and my companions and I followed the lord priest to attack the Acropolis of Athens."
