I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 141 Sacrifice Ceremony Praying for a Good Harvest
The meaning of what Minos said just now is not difficult to understand.

It is because it is easy to understand that it is even more surprising.

Under Roy's surprised eyes, four young and beautiful priestesses walked out of the Temple of Europa and stepped onto the altar, using the tools prepared in advance to build a curtain on the altar.

The cloth used for the curtain is translucent, so with the cover of the curtain, people around the altar can still vaguely see the figures of Minos and the queen inside the curtain.

After the four young priestesses withdrew from the curtain, Minos and the queen in the curtain began to offer sacred rituals to the goddess Europa.

Procne hid in Roy's arms shyly, and asked in a low voice full of doubts.

"Brother Loy, Minos and the queen did such a thing at the altar of the goddess Europa. Isn't this an act of blasphemy to the goddess?"

Roy lowered his head and explained in Procne's ear.

"Although Goddess Europa is an unmarried goddess, she is the goddess of the earth who advertises her harvest. Therefore, Minos and the queen used this ritual to sacrifice to Goddess Europa, which is not considered a blasphemy against Goddess Europa."

"Why do they perform this sacred ceremony?"

"This is an ancient ceremony that has been passed down for thousands of years. They just performed the ceremony according to the tradition. The original intention of people performing this ceremony thousands of years ago may be because they thought that using sacred rituals to sacrifice to the Mother Earth would allow the Mother Earth to bestow Harvest. Minos and the queen performed sacred rituals for the harvest of the Knossos, and I think they should be admired."

"Brother Luoy...you are the male priest of the goddess Metis, and I am the priestess of the goddess Metis. Don't you want to do this kind of thing with me?"

Looking at the blushing Procne, Roy said jokingly.

"I think this kind of sacred ceremony is indeed worth learning from. If we perform the sacred ceremony in the temple, would you like to pray for a good harvest with me?"

"Um……"

Procne nodded, and Roy immediately said with a smile.

"Silly girl, the goddess Metis is the goddess of the sea, and she doesn't have the attributes of the goddess of the earth yet, so we don't need to use this kind of ceremony to sacrifice to the goddess Metis. Moreover, the goddess Metis is a maiden god who advertises purity. This kind of ritual sacrifice to the goddess Metis will only make the goddess Metis angry."

Procne first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Pandora with sympathetic eyes and said.

"Princess Pandora is the fiancee of Prince Deucalion. After Prince Deucalion becomes the next Minos, Princess Pandora will become the next queen. That is to say, we can see Prince Deucalion and Pandora in the future. The princess is performing a sacred ceremony here?"

Pandora immediately pretended to be angry, glared at Procne and said.

"I would not do such a shameless thing."

After half an hour.

Minos and the queen finished the sacrificial ceremony, the four priestesses pulled down the curtain, and Minos appeared on the altar in a majestic manner and said loudly.

"My people! As your king, I have personally set an example for you. In the coming year, the farmers must work hard to plow the fields, and the shepherds must work hard to herd the livestock. The great goddess Europa will make us happy , It is all the result of your own laziness that you cannot get a good harvest when the harvest season comes."

After Minos finished speaking, thousands of Knossos people around immediately laughed and cheered loudly.

"Long live the great goddess Europa! Long live the great Minos [Tauren]!"

"Long live the great goddess Europa! Long live the great Minos [Tauren]!"

"Long live the great goddess Europa! Long live the great Minos [Tauren]!"

To the cheers of the Knossos, Minos and the queen left the altar and returned to their ox cart.

Immediately after the royal family of Knossos returned to the second car, the princes and princesses also returned to the third car.

Led by Minos and the queen's ox cart, the convoy returned to the city and toured the entire city of Knossos again.

Returning to the palace in the evening, today's spring plowing ceremony is really over.

night.

In the palace of Minos.

A grand banquet was held in the brightly lit palace hall, and princes and princesses from various city-states were invited to the banquet.

Roy brought Procne and Pandora to the hall, and saw the nobles of Knossos gathered on the right side of the banquet hall, and the princes and princesses who were guests gathered on the left side of the banquet hall.

The three of Roy came to the left side of the banquet hall, Perseus said deliberately.

"Look, everyone! Someone brought Princess Pandora. If someone who doesn't know sees it, they may think that Princess Pandora is not Prince Deucalion's fiancée, but someone's fiancée."

Deucalion was also sitting with the princes at this time, and when he heard what Perseus said, his face immediately became extremely ugly.

Under the watchful eyes of the princes and princesses, Deucalion forced a smile and said.

"Roy and her fiancée Princess Procne stick together all the time, and they sleep together at night. This is something that many people know."

What Deucalion meant was obvious——

Roy has always been stuck with Procne, so it is impossible for Roy to hook up with Pandora.

These words will obviously damage Procne's reputation.

Although it is true that Roy and Procne are stuck together, Procne lived with her fiancé before getting married, which would definitely become a laughing stock for others.

Roy glanced at Deucalion with a dissatisfied expression.

Not only was Procne not sad, but she was very happy that everyone knew about the relationship between Roy and her.

Deucalion didn't care about Roy's reaction, he walked up to Pandora and said.

"Dear Pandora! I can finally spend more time with you, and I will always be by your side for this banquet."

Pandora said expressionlessly.

"Procne is leaving tomorrow, and I would rather be with my friends."

Deucalion's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Pandora would refuse to be with him in such an important banquet.

At this moment, Minos, the host of the banquet, said suddenly.

"Distinguished guests! Before the banquet begins, I would like to meet guests from the city of Athens. Priest of Loy, Princess Procne of Athens! Please come before me and the queen."

Hearing what Minos said, Roy hesitated for a moment, then took Procne to the center of the banquet and stood in front of Minos and the queen.
