I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 28 You two are the most beautiful

The characters of Procne and Philomela, one is gentle and kind, and the other is innocent and simple.

In fact, Roy really wanted to tell them that both of them are people who will suffer.

But in the end, Roy chose to remain silent.

After all, if they become smarter, Roy may no longer be able to eat their soft meals.

Although Roy disdained to eat soft rice, he had to admit that the soft rice of Procne and Philomela was really delicious.

After eating breakfast like a storm, Roy immediately said to Procne and Philomela.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! Let's go to the warehouse to get bone needles! As a thank you, I will make two lanterns for you later."

lantern--

Again Procne and Philomela had never heard of it.

The two sisters looked at each other, and they could see curiosity and desire in each other's eyes.

Procne and Philomela took Roy to the warehouse and searched for half an hour before finding the bone needle from a pile of dust-covered debris.

Seeing that there were only a dozen bone needles wrapped in the animal skin, Prockne grabbed all the bone needles and said.

"Priest Luoy, let's use all the bone needles! I believe with your wisdom, even if all these bone needles are worn out, you can still make better sewing needles."

"Princess Procne! You trust me so blindly, is it because you have started to worship me in your heart?"

Roy smiled confidently.

"But you are right. When I return from Crete, I will arrange for people to make bamboo needles that are more useful than bone needles."

Philomela teased Roy.

"Priest Luoy, do you want to invent the bamboo needle because you want to see girls wear knee socks? Although my sister and I cannot meet your request, you can order the maids who serve you, or other identities You lowly girl."

Roy immediately shook his head and said.

"You two are the most beautiful girls of the Athenian tribe. I just want to see you two in knee socks."

We are the fairest of the tribe of Athens—

Hearing Roy's praise, both Procne and Philomela couldn't help showing sweet smiles.

When Roy, Procne, and Philomela returned to the temple, they saw fifty teenagers, including Aries, had arrived at the temple square, and were excitedly observing the food and wood prepared for them. spear.

Roy immediately walked up to the teenagers, and after sweeping his gaze across all of their faces, Roy said with a smile on his face.

"I am so happy to see all of you here. From now on, you are my true companions and comrades-in-arms, and now each of you can take fifty catties of grain and a wooden spear. When you bring the grain Send them back to their respective homes, and we will start training today."

After Roy finished speaking, the teenagers immediately cheered happily.

"Long live the priest!"

"Long live Lord Roy!"

"I want to follow Priest Loi forever!"

Listening to the cheers of the teenagers, Roy said with a smile.

"Hurry up and take home the food distributed to you, and let your parents believe that I am not a liar who deceived their son. Only when you have the understanding and support of your parents, can I take you to sea with confidence."

The teenagers acted immediately, each carrying [-] catties of grain and returning home.

After the boys left, Roy returned to Procne and Philomela and said.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! Now I will make you a lantern out of cardboard, sticks, tissue paper, and string."

After speaking, Roy started to do it.

Under the curious eyes of Procne and Philomela, Roy quickly made a lantern.

Put a candle in the lantern and light it, Roy lifted the lantern with a wooden stick and said.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! This is a lantern. Because there are four sides of thin paper to block the wind, everyone can go out at night with a lantern."

After introducing the use of the lantern, Roy handed the lantern to Procne.

Philomela immediately said dissatisfied.

"Priest Loi! You have already made a lantern for your sister, now it's time to make a second lantern for me."

"I can give you this lantern, if you want it, Philomela."

Procne handed the lantern to Philomela, who immediately shook her head and said.

"Sister, the lantern you gave me is different from the lantern given to me by Priest Loy."

Different?
They are all lanterns, what is the difference?
Procne did not expect that the lantern she gave Philomela was a gift from her sister.

Roy gave Philomela a lantern, a gift from a man.

Although Roy also felt that Philomela was a bit petite and willful, he still met Philomela's request and made a second lantern for her with ease.

After Roy gave the lantern to Philomela, Philomela played with the lantern for a while, then put the lantern on the ground and said.

"It's so boring! I've only played for a while, and the novelty is gone."

At this time, the teenagers, including Aries, had already returned to the temple square with wooden spears on their shoulders.

Roy came to the boys and said.

"I have only one request for you today, and that is to practice stabbing with a wooden spear. Because the blade of a wooden spear is difficult to pierce a human body, you must use all your strength when stabbing, and stab hard in front of you. enemy."

Fifty teenagers started to practice according to Roy's request, and Roy came to six maids and taught them how to use bone needles to sew paper armor.

"My request to you is very simple. The paper armor you sew must not only protect the body above the knee like a robe, but also have two extra paper armor sleeves to protect the arms."

After listening to Roy's request for the paper armor, Procne said to Roy.

"Priest Loi! I also want to make a set of paper armor for my father. Can I sew paper armor with these maids?"

"Princess Procne! You are the noble daughter of the leader of Pandion, and you don't need my permission to do anything."

After responding to Procne, Roy said holding a wooden stick about the same length as a wooden spear.

"Next, I have to practice fighting, so I can't accompany you sisters."

After speaking, Roy walked up to the teenagers practicing stabbing and practiced with them.

Seeing the scene where Roy was practicing stabbing with the teenagers, Philomela said to Procne with a smile.

"Sister! If my father sees it, he will definitely say that brother Erechtheus should learn from Priest Loi."

Procne said while sewing the paper armor with bone needles.

"Brother Erechtheus' companions are all sons of the little leader's family. Even if his father asks, brother Erechtheus can't really treat commoners as companions."

Unbeknownst to Procne and Philomela, their elder brother Erechtheus was observing the temple square not far away at this time.

Seeing Roy practicing stabbing with the boys, Erechtheus said with a joking smile.

"Father actually thinks that I should learn from this kind of person? He doesn't even know that soldiers should go to the battlefield with shields. If he is allowed to bring these people to participate in the war, his soldiers will definitely be wiped out."

Erechtheus didn't know that Roy was going to arm the teenagers with paper armor so that they could fight with weapons with both hands.
