I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 179 Coming to Yubia Island Again

The day after his coronation as king of Thebes, Loi sailed from the Asopus River to the Ocarian tribe in the middle of the island of Eubia.

In addition to Roy and a dozen Thebes sailors on board, Iole, the daughter of Melanius, the leader of the Ocarian tribe, accompanied Roy.

Iol is a 13-year-old beautiful girl. She is not only the little princess of the Ocaria tribe, but also a trainee priestess trained by Harmonia herself.

When Harmonia marries Loi and loses her virginity, Iole will become the highest priestess of the goddess Mnemosyne.

At this time, on the fast-moving big ship, Roy stood on the deck at the bow, admiring the scenery on both sides of the Asopas River.

At some point, Yiole also left the cabin and went outside, looking at everything around her with her beautiful big eyes full of curiosity.

Luoy turned around to appreciate it carefully, and saw that Yiole had a taller and more graceful figure than her peers. She was wearing a pure white cotton gown with a cotton belt dyed gold around her waist. Wear strappy sandals made of cotton.

Perhaps in imitation of Harmonia, Eole also tied her beautiful long black hair into a single ponytail with a white headband.

In an unfamiliar environment and among a group of strangers, Eole appears shy and withdrawn.

Sensing Roy's gaze, Yiole turned around and bowed to Roy, saying in a soft and sweet voice.

“Uncle Roy, can I stay outside?”

Uncle Lowe--

Hearing Yiole call her, Roy felt like she was ten years older.

"Sister Yiole, shouldn't you call me Oni-chan—brother Loy? Although I'm seven years older than you, I'm not old enough to be a brother to your father, Melanius." !"

Yiole explained with an innocent expression on her childish innocent face.

"I am a disciple of the priest of Harmonia, and you are her fiancé. It is correct for me to regard you and the priest of Harmonia as the same generation as my parents!"

As Harmonia's disciple, Yiale should really regard Luo Yi and Harmonia as elders like master and mistress.

Looking at Yiole's beautiful and lovely face, Roy said helplessly.

"Sister Yiole! Before I marry Harmonia, I hope you can call me brother. After I marry Harmonia, you will call me Uncle Loy."

Yiole nodded obediently and said.

"I see, Uncle Roy—brother Roy."

Loi and Iol took the big boat down the river and arrived at the port of the Ocaria tribe in only four hours.

Melanius, the leader of the Ocarian tribe, got the news and came to the port to meet Loy and Iole in person.

On the way from the Ocaria port to the Ocaria tribe, Loy and Iole saw Melanius approaching, and Iole immediately yelled happily and rushed towards Melanius .

"Father!"

"Iol!"

Melanus and Iole hugged each other, and asked his daughter in tears with excitement.

"My beloved daughter, how are you doing during the time we've been apart?"

"I'm doing well, and the priests of Harmonia take care of me like a sister."

Iole said with tears.

"How are father, mother and brothers doing?"

"Silly girl, of course we have a good life."

Looking at the scene of Yiole and Melanius' father and daughter being filial, Roy couldn't help feeling that it was true that Harmonia took Iole away from her family to be her successor in order to marry him. It's a little too much.

It would be fine if Harmonia really wanted Iole to be the highest priestess of the goddess Mnemosyne.

It's a pity that in fact, Harmonia just wanted Ial to be a puppet in name only.

Even if Iol becomes the successor, the power that belongs to the High Priestess will continue to be in the hands of Harmonia.

When Harmonia gave birth to a daughter, Iole's identity would be abolished, and her daughter would have the identity and power of the highest priestess.

Iol and Melanus embraced for a while, and Melanus pulled Iol to Roy and said.

"Great King of Thebes, thank you and the priests of Harmonia for taking care of Yiole during this time."

"Melanius, it seems you already know that I have been crowned King of Thebes."

Roy said with a smile.

"The Kingdom of Athens that I rule includes not only the Attica Peninsula and the Thebes region, but the island of Eubia is also an integral part of the Kingdom of Athens. Now I appoint you as the governor of Ocaria, and give you the jurisdiction over all the islands of Eubia. The power of the Bea, and allow you to build the city of Ocaria."

"Governor of Ocaria..."

Melanius said excitedly.

"Your Majesty Roy, can I pass on the governorship to my son?"

"No! The governorship is neither lifelong nor hereditary. You only have one term of three years. After three years, I will appoint someone else to be the new governor of Ocaria. In my Kingdom of Athens, only members of the royal family can With tenured and hereditary positions."

"That is to say, if my daughter Yiole marries Your Majesty, I will be able to serve as Governor of Ocaria for life, and even pass the status of Governor to my son?"

Roy immediately glared at Melanus and said.

"Theoretically, this is the case, but such words cannot be said in front of Yiole, because children will think wildly."

Melanius looked down at his blushing daughter, then said with a serious face.

"Your Majesty Loy, of course I will not sell my daughter for power and wealth. Yiole's happiness is more important to me than power and wealth."

In the mythology of another world, Iol's father would rather be an enemy of the demigod hero Hercules than marry his daughter Iol to the child who killed himself in madness and give his wife to a friend The so-called hero, it can be seen that Yiole's father really values ​​the happiness of his daughter.

Seeing thick smoke rising from the foot of a mountain in the distance, Roy took the initiative to ask Melanius.

"Meranius, are my followers smelting bronze weapons there?"

Melanius nodded.

"Does Your Majesty want to visit your followers first, or our Ocaria tribe first?"

"I want to visit my followers first, please lead me the way!"

Led by Melanius, Loi and Iole soon came to the place where Loi's Phoenician followers lived.

It can be seen that this place was originally a forest at the foot of the mountain.

Now the trees have been felled on a large scale and turned into wooden houses for Roy's Phoenician followers, as well as fuel for smelting bronze weapons.

About [-] wooden houses form a small village. In the center of the village stands a blast furnace for smelting copper ore. At this time, Taurus and dozens of Phoenicians are busy, some add firewood to the blast furnace to melt copper ore, and some melt copper ore Water is poured into molds to create bronze spear blades.

"Taurus!"

Roy took the initiative to call Taurus' name, and Taurus turned around to see Roy, and immediately widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.

"Priest Luoy, am I dreaming about you again?"
