I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 140 The Ceremony of the Tauren
woohoo woohoo-

The time finally came to the day of the Spring Plowing Festival.

As soon as the sun's rays illuminated the sky, Roy and Procne were awakened by the sound of horns in the city of Knossos.

Roy and Procne opened their eyes, Procne complained as he got dressed and got up.

"Brother Roy, is the Spring Plowing Ceremony in Knossos starting so early?"

Roy smiled while admiring Procne's beautiful figure.

"It's also the first time for me to participate in their spring plowing festival. I don't know the process of the spring plowing festival just like you!"

After the two left the room, they saw Pandora standing in the corridor with a young and beautiful palace maid.

Seeing Roy and Procne, the palace maid offered to take Roy and Procne to Deucalion's palace to gather.

Led by the palace maid, Roy, Procne, and Pandora came to Deucalion's palace, and saw that the princes and princesses had gathered here.

Seeing that all the guests had come to his palace, Deucalion said loudly.

"My friends, the spring plowing ceremony is about to begin. After the ceremony begins, my parents, King Minos and Queen Minos, will tour the city, and I will board the carriage of the royal family with other royal families. I will also board the carriages where the guests will inspect the entire city. Please obey the arrangements and do not disturb the ritual ceremony without permission. If you have no objections, I will take you outside the palace now and wait to board the carriages that inspect the entire city.”

When Deucalion had finished speaking, the princes and princesses remained silent.

Seeing that no one made any suggestions, Deucalion took the princes and princesses away.

The street outside the palace was originally a bustling trading street.

But today, the trading street was cleaned up, and there were two rows of heavily armed soldiers standing on both sides of the street.

When the princes and princesses came outside the palace, they saw three cars parked in front of the gate of the palace.

The first chariot was drawn by two white oxen, one male and one female, the second chariot by two bulls and two cows, and the third chariot by four black horses.

At this point Deucalion's brothers and sisters gather beside the second carriage, in which apparently the royal family of Knossos is to ride.

Having led the princes and princesses to the third chariot, Deucalion returned to his brothers and sisters, and waited with them for Minos and the queen.

After a moment.

Minos and the queen came out of the palace holding hands.

This was the first time Roy saw Minos, the current king of Knossos, and his queen.

Minos is about 40 years old. He has a straight upper body showing a strong body, with two white horns on his head, and his bearded face is full of the majesty of the overlord of the Aegean Sea.

The queen is a beauty who looks much younger than her actual age. Her head is decorated with white cow horns, and the white cotton robe she wears is extremely close-fitting, highlighting two huge murder weapons, as if the queen is really a cow. avatar.

Looking at the bull-headed [Minos] and the cow-headed [queen] walking towards the first bullock cart, Procne said in surprise.

"Their horns don't fall off their heads, so they look like real tauren."

"It's called role-playing."

Roy hugged Procne in his arms with some excitement and said.

"When we get back to Athens, I will make cat ears and dog ears for you, and let you role-play catwoman and dogwoman. Procne, would you like to be my little cat and dog—just Like Queen Knossos willing to be Minos' heifer?"

role play?

Although Procne could not understand what Roy said, he still nodded and smiled.

"As long as brother Roy really likes it, I can also be your kitten and puppy like Queen Knossos."

The bull-headed man [Minos] and the cow-headed man [the queen] stepped on the bodies of the male servants lying on the ground and boarded the first bullock cart. As if the royal family of Knossos had received a signal, they set off in Deucalion. He boarded the second ox cart under the leadership of the leader.

Seeing this scene, Roy, Procne, and Pandora boarded the third car together with the princes and princesses.

On the huge carriage, the princes and princesses were clearly divided into two groups. Only Procne and Pandora sat with Roy.

After the first ox cart started to move forward, the second ox cart and the third horse cart followed immediately.

As the convoy moved forward, the princes and princesses marveled at the large population and prosperity of the city of Knossos, which is why the princes and princesses were arranged to inspect the entire city.

Only when the princes and princesses representing each city-state understand the strength of Knossos, can each city-state willingly become a vassal of Knossos.

After the convoy left the streets outside the palace, every street the convoy went to was crowded with people, all the people of Knossos desperately wanted to get close to the bullock cart of the bull-headed [Minos] and the cow-headed [queen] .

Because Knossos is a city-state guarded by the goddess Europa, Minos is the highest priest serving the goddess Europa, and the queen is the highest priestess serving the goddess Europa.

The purpose of Minos and the Queen holding a spring plowing ceremony to inspect the whole city is to bring the blessing of Goddess Europa to all the residents of the city.

The Knossos also believed that the closer they were to the bull-headed [Minos] and the cow-headed [queen], the more blessings they would receive from the goddess Europa.

Minos and the queen were like kind parents seeing their children. They kept showing loving smiles and did not refuse their children to approach the ox cart.

Only the palace soldiers guarded the bullock carts, pushing back the Knossos who approached the bullock carts.

The ox cart slowly patrolled the city, not only bringing the blessings of the goddess Europa to the residents of the city, but also allowing the residents of the city to see Minos and the queen and know what kind of face their ruler has.

It was noon.

The convoy that patrolled the entire city of Knossos came to the Temple of Europa outside the city.

On a plain surrounded by woods and small rivers, stands a ten-meter-high statue of Europa. In front of the statue is an altar, and behind the statue is a shrine made of stone and bricks.

Judging from the statue of Europa, the goddess Europa is also a very beautiful goddess.

But on the head of the statue of Europa, there is a pair of horns like Minos.

The two weapons of the goddess Europa are as huge as the queen, full of maternal brilliance as the earth mother.

The caravan stopped in front of the altar of the goddess Europa, Minos and the queen got off the first bullock cart, and the two climbed up to the altar together.

At this time, around the Temple of Europa, there were not only convoys patrolling the city, but also thousands of Knossos people gathered.

Minos glanced at the people around him, and then said loudly on the altar.

"People of Knossos—my beloved people! It is the annual spring plowing ceremony. I warn you once again that only when the farmers work diligently on the fields can the fields grow crops and harvest food. Only the diligent shepherds Grazing livestock will increase the number of livestock.”
