I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 156 Amphitrite's Answer
It was night, and the downpour finally ended.

After the banquet, Sisyphus did not arrange Roy and Harmonia in the guest room, but directly let Roy and Harmonia live in a palace that only the royal family of Corinth could live in.

In the palace illuminated by bronze oil lamps burning olive oil, Harmonia entered the bathing room under the service of a group of palace maids, and Roy came outside the palace to admire the night sky.

Just when Roy was about to return to the palace, the goddess Amphitrite suddenly appeared over the palace with a height of [-] meters, and walked towards the Gulf of Corinth in the north of the city of Corinth with huge steps.

Roy glanced at the location where Amphitrite appeared, and found that directly below Amphitrite was the Amphitrite Temple in the palace, and immediately understood that Amphitrite had been in the temple just now .

Seeing that the goddess Amphitrite wanted to leave the temple on the Acropolis of Corinth and return to the sea, Roy couldn't help but said loudly.

"Great goddess Amphitrite, please wait a moment."

Hearing Roy's voice, Amphitrite stopped and turned around, looked down at Roy with a surprised expression and said.

"Sure enough, you can see me."

Then, Amphitrite's huge figure shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a 17-year-old girl and flew down in front of Roy.

At this time, the distance between Roy and Amphitrite was less than five meters. When he saw the beautiful figure of the goddess holding a silver trident at close range, Roy's eyes widened in amazement.

This goddess, who is very similar to Metis, wears a beautiful blue and white dress, a silver ornament like a crown on her head, a silver belt around her waist, and silver strappy sandals on a pair of small and lovely ankles.

She has long blue hair that hangs down to her waist, and a pair of big eyes that are as beautiful as emeralds.

The sleeveless dress exposed snow-white arms, and the tight belt highlighted the slender waist.

After recovering from the astonishment, Roy asked suspiciously.

"Great Amphitrite, I want to know why you bestowed divine power and blessing on me."

"You really don't understand?"

Amphitrite said with a smile.

"If I don't give you divine power and blessings, not only will you be defeated by Perseus, but the city of Corinth will also be conquered by the Mycenaeans. As the patron saint of the city of Corinth, I will become the guardian of the Mycenaeans." The captive of the god Zeus, suffered all kinds of humiliation from Zeus. So I bestow divine power and blessings on you, just to protect me and the city of Corinth."

"That……"

Roy said tentatively.

"After the war between Corinth and the Mycenaeans is over, will you take back your divine power and blessing from me?"

"It seems that this is what you really want to ask."

Amphitrite said with a serious expression.

"Without your intervention, the Mycenaeans have now conquered Corinth, so you have the merit of saving Corinth—saving me. I can promise that as long as you do not become the enemy of Corinth, I will not take back the gift Your power and blessing."

Hearing Amphitrite's promise, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving Amphitrite's divine power and blessing, he was upgraded to become a great hero [A Thousand Enemies]. Roy has always been worried that Amphitrite would take back his divine power and blessings and turn his strength back into a hero [Hundred Enemies].

"Great goddess Amphitrite, I really don't know how to thank you. Now the city of Corinth, Athens, and Thebes form an alliance of three goddesses, and I will defend Corinth and the goddess Amphitrite as an ally .”

"Mnemosyne is my neighbor for a long time, and Metis is my sister who is also the goddess of the sea. I am very happy that Corinth can become an ally with the city-state they guard. Human! If you have nothing else, then I'm going back to the sea, after all, the sea is my real home."

Roy nodded immediately.

"I have nothing to delay your time."

Amphitrite changed back into the figure of a [-]-meter-tall god, and after leaving with huge silent steps, Roy looked at the back of Amphitrite and said in a low voice.

"Is it because they have been in contact with humans as patron saints for thousands of years? Both the goddess Mnemosyne and the goddess Amphitrite make me feel that they are more willing than the goddess Metis, who has only recently become the patron saint. Contact humans."

Although Metis didn't show it, Roy always felt that Metis was like a tsundere lady, always looking down on humans with the pride of being a goddess.

Mnemosyne and Amphitrite are like easy-going rulers who treat humans as their subjects.

In front of Metis, Roy will have the sense of distance that a human being faces a god.

In front of Mnemosyne and Amphitrite, what Roy felt was the distance between human commoners and human queens.

When Roy turned back to the palace, he saw that Harmonia had already walked out of the bathroom and was drying her long, wet golden hair by the campfire.

Seeing Roy coming back from the outside, Harmonia said immediately.

"Honey, go to the bathroom and take a shower too!"

Roy smiled as he walked to the bathroom.

"Wait for my hair to dry, then go and warm the quilt for me."

When he came to the door of the bathroom, Roy stopped and said to the palace maids behind him.

"You stay outside, I don't need your service."

After speaking, Roy went into the bathroom alone.

the next day.

Before the sun rose in the east, Roy and Harmonia woke up early from their sleep.

After all, the Mycenaeans are still outside Corinth, and the war is not over yet.

When Roy and Harmonia came to the palace hall, they saw Sisyphus sitting on his throne, listening to the news reported by the soldiers with a surprised expression.

Seeing Roy and Harmonia, Sisyphus said with great joy.

"Young Loi! Fair Harmonia! Perhaps you should go back and sleep again. My soldiers told me just now that the Mycenaean army is returning to Mycenae, the war is over, and It's our victory."

The Mycenaeans withdrew—

Hearing this news, Roy was not surprised.

After the arrival of Harmonia with [-] Thebes soldiers, the Mycenaeans have changed from superior to inferior.

If this war continues, the Mycenaeans will surely usher in a disastrous defeat, so it is a very wise choice for the Mycenaeans to take the initiative to end this war.

"This war is not over."

Seeing the puzzled expressions of Harmonia and Sisyphus, Roy said with a serious expression.

"This war can be started by the Mycenaeans, but it cannot be ended by the Mycenaeans. In order to prevent the Mycenaeans from launching wars against us at will, I think we should attack the city of Mycenae. Even if we can't Conquer the city of Mycenae, and force Mycenae King Acrisius to accept our peace treaty."

"We're going to attack Mycenae—"

After listening to Roy's words, Sisyphus showed a hesitant expression.

Harmonia said immediately.

"King of Corinth! If you don't want Corinthian soldiers to attack Mycenae with us, then provide us with food and supplies!"
