I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 352 The Marriage Plan Will Not Change

After the envoy of Oenomanos, King of Elis, was taken away, Procne asked worriedly.

"Brother Roy, you really won't interfere in the war between the Mycenaeans and King Elis?"

Roy nodded and smiled.

"The tribe of Athens has developed into the current Kingdom of Athens within half a year, and its territory and population have increased hundreds of times. In order to truly absorb these newly increased territories and population, and implement the policies of the Kingdom of Athens to every piece of land in the Kingdom of Athens, I will not start any more wars this year."

Philomela joked.

"Brother Roy, although Hippodamia is the princess of the barbarians, we have even heard of her beauty. Are you really not attracted to her?"

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"If I were only the king of the city of Athens, in order to become the ruler of the Elis region, I would definitely intervene in the war between the Mycenaeans and King Elis, and make Hippodamia my woman. Now I am The ruler of the [-]-square-kilometer kingdom of Athens, Hippodamia is only the princess of Olympia, and in my opinion she is not qualified to be my wife at all."

Then Roy spoke to Procne and Philomela.

"Procne! Philomela! My plan to marry you will never change. Now you will send invitations to all the nobles in the Kingdom of Athens and let them attend our wedding on time."

In the western part of the Nile Delta, the Thessaly area, and the city of Corinth, these areas conquered by force by Roy, the ruling class such as the nobility has been wiped out.

But in Crete and Central Greece, the ruling class such as the nobles still exists, because these areas entered the territory of the Kingdom of Athens in a peaceful way, and Roy has no good reason to eliminate the nobles here.

Now Roy just used a wedding to gather these nobles, and then asked them to voluntarily give up their noble status and become commoners.

Hearing that Roy asked him to invite guests to the wedding, Procne blushed and said out of breath.

"Brother Roy, we invite guests to Athens, so you really have no room to postpone the wedding."

"Silly girl!"

Roy leaned close to Procne's neck, smelling the fragrance on her body and said.

"I'm also a normal man, do you know how much I want to eat you? I can't wait to finish the wedding with you and let you fulfill your wife's responsibilities."

"Brother Roy..."

Seeing that Procne's whole shy face had turned red, Roy turned around and shouted.

"Herald! Now go and tell everyone in Athens that on the first day of July, Princesses Procne and Philomela will become their real queens and queens. Three days later, I will be with Procne and Philomela Romera is going to tour the city of Athens, so that all Athenians can see the faces of the newlyweds."

The four heralds immediately carried out Roy's order and told everyone in Athens that the King of Athens was about to get married.

Three days passed in a flash.

On this day of patrolling the city of Athens, Roy, Procne and Philomela were all dressed up under the service of the palace maids.

On Roy's head was a crown of olive branches made of gold, a gold belt was around his waist, and even his feet were wearing gold strappy sandals made of gold.

Procne and Philomela wore gold hair ornaments, a gold belt around their slender waists, and gold flat sandals on their feet.

Wearing short skirts three centimeters above the knee and black wool knee socks, they are as beautiful and noble as real goddesses.

The three of Roy came to the courtyard of the palace. An open carriage pulled by two white horses and two black horses was waiting for the owner to take it.

"Procne! Philomela! Let's meet our people!"

After the three boarded the carriage, Procne nervously leaned against Roy and asked.

"Brother Roy, we wear short skirts and knee socks, will we be regarded as women imitating barbarians?"

"Don't think wildly."

Roy put his arms around the slender waists of Procne and Philomela and said.

"Not only will your clothes not be ridiculed, but you will also be the target of imitation by all the girls in Athens."

ordered Philomela to the man who led the horse.

"lets go!"

The man who led the horse immediately pulled the rein and let the carriage leave the palace.

The carriage drove out of the Acropolis and came to the streets of the city of Athens. The civilians who wanted to witness the demeanor of the King and Queen of Athens immediately swarmed towards the carriage.

Because of the Athenian soldiers protecting the carriage, the fanatical civilians could not squeeze around the carriage.

Roy, Procne, and Philomela on the carriage showed friendly smiles and kept waving to the surrounding civilians.

The civilians responded with loud cheers.

"Long live the King of Athens!"

"Long live Princess Procne!"

"Long live Princess Philomela!"

Under the sunlight, the golden crowns, golden belts, and golden sandals on the three of Roy's bodies gleamed, making the three of Roy look like gods shrouded in divine light.

Many people regarded the three of Roy as the incarnations of gods, kneeling on the ground and pleading for protection.

The current city of Athens is just a city with a population of about [-].

After the carriage tour in Athens was completed, Roy sent the carriage to Piraeus Port, so that people in Piraeus Port could also witness the demeanor of the three of them.

Port of Piraeus.

When the inspecting carriage came here, all the people at the port stopped trading, and looked curiously at the three of Roy on the carriage.

When the carriage passed by the trading market, a Phoenician businessman suddenly stopped the carriage and said.

"Great King of Athens, I have brought you an extremely precious commodity, I believe you and the queen will like it."

With that said, the Phoenician merchant walked over to his wares.

Those were two wooden cages, the first cage contained a lioness and three cubs, and the second cage contained a female cheetah and four cheetah cubs.

These two creatures have become extinct in Europa, and Procne and Philomela have never seen them.

Seeing these two new creatures, Procne and Philomela immediately widened their eyes curiously.

Seeing their reaction, the Phoenician businessman smiled happily and said.

"Great King of Athens, I would like to sell you these beautiful and precious creatures at the price of [-] catties of salt."

[-] catties of salt——

Even if the city of Athens is the place where salt is produced, 100 catties of salt can be equivalent to [-] million catties of grain, so this is undoubtedly the price that the lion opened his mouth.

Even after 600 years, when the number of lions decreases, the price of lions will not exceed [-] catties of grain, and the price of cheetahs is the same.

Now the number of lions and cheetahs is not endangered, and their price will never exceed [-] catties of food.

"Cunning businessman, don't you know that the Kingdom of Athens has a territory in Egypt? Although there are no lions and cheetahs in Europe, I know that these two beasts can be seen everywhere in Africa, so I will not accept your price. After all, twenty thousand A catty of grain is sold to other regions, but it is equivalent to 200 million catties of grain. If I give you a thousand catties of salt, are you willing to sell all these beasts to me?"

A thousand catties of salt——

If one catty of salt is exchanged for one hundred catties of grain and sold in other areas, it can be exchanged for one hundred thousand catties of grain.

Although it failed to sell for a sky-high price, the Phoenician merchants could accept the price.
