I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 362 Write your name on the marriage certificate
After nightfall.

The wedding banquet in the royal palace ended, and most of the guests returned to their residences in Athens.

Only Hippolyta, Phyllis, Hippodamia, and Callisto, who lived in the guest rooms of the palace, remained in the palace.

When Roy came to the Temple of Metis alone, he saw Procne and Philomela sitting at the feet of the statue of Metis in the temple lit by candles, waiting for him.

"Brother Roy!"

Seeing Roy's figure, Procne and Philomela immediately ran to Roy, and Procne asked anxiously.

"Are we really... going to use the Temple of Metis as a wedding room?"

Philomela continued.

"Goddess Metis is, after all, an unmarried virgin goddess. If we become husband and wife in front of Goddess Metis, isn't that a blasphemy against the goddess?"

In another world of Roman mythology, Neptune, the god of the sea, once usurped a priestess at the temple of the moon goddess Minerva.

Because the moon goddess Minerva is a virgin goddess mixed with Pallas Athena, Neptune and the priestess became husband and wife in the Temple of Minerva, which was regarded as blasphemy by the moon goddess Minerva.

Unable to punish Neptune, the goddess of the moon, Minerva cursed the priestess, who was clearly the victim, and turned the priestess into a gorgon.

This is the origin of the Gorgon Medusa in Roman mythology.

Recalling the story of the priestess being cursed by the goddess for blasphemy, Roy said with a confident smile.

"Even if this is blasphemy, what can our goddess Metis do? She has only been a patron saint for half a year, and her authority as a god is far less powerful than mine. If Goddess Metis wants to punish us, I don't mind driving her down from the throne and making her a wandering goddess just like Artemis."

buzzing-

The statue of Metis suddenly vibrated strongly, as if expressing Metis' dissatisfaction.

After a while, the statue of Metis fell silent. Obviously, Metis decided to endure Roy's blasphemy against the goddess.

While ordering the palace maid to move the big bed, Roy brought Procne and Philomela to the table at the foot of the statue of Metis, picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote.

marriage certificate.

July [-]st of the first year of the Kingdom of Athens.

Roy marries Procne and Philomela.

My signature - Lowe.

"Procne! Philomela! Although we have become a husband and wife under the witness of the gods and guests, I not only want to let people now know that you are the wife of Roy, but also let people who will live thousands of years later, I know that you are my wife. Let's complete this marriage certificate together, and then keep the marriage certificate in the Temple of Metis!"

To let people thousands of years later know that you are my wife——

After listening to Roy's words, Procne and Philomela were moved.

"Brother Roy..."

When Procne wrote his signature on the marriage certificate, Philomela couldn't help but say.

"If only my sister and I were the only wives of Brother Roy."

Although this is an era when a man can have many women, love is selfish after all.

The fact that Procne and Philomela can accept sharing a husband with their dear sisters does not mean that they can accept sharing a husband with other girls.

After Philomela wrote her signature on the marriage certificate, Roy stretched out his hands and hugged the two in his arms and said.

"Procne! Philomela! I will make glass in the future and keep our marriage certificate in the picture frame. I can't just be the husband of you two, and I feel sorry for you too."

After a group of palace maids moved the big bed, Roy drove the palace maids out, and only Roy, Procne, and Philomela remained in the Temple of Metis.

Being pulled towards the big bed by Roy, Procne and Philomela couldn't help resisting.

"Brother Luoy, this is really bad, let's go back to the palace!"

"Brother Luoy, I can feel that Goddess Metis is very angry, and it's too late to regret it now."

Roy said with a tough smile.

"If Metis comes to me now and says she is willing to marry me, I will stop blaspheming her."

Acropolis.

Artemis brought Calypso to the outside of the Temple of Metis, and said with a gloating smile.

"It won't take long for the news that Metis was blasphemed by the King of Athens to spread throughout the Kingdom of Athens. Without the accumulation of authority for thousands of years, the divine power of the gods will be suppressed by the kingship of humans."

"Are you watching my joke?"

Accompanied by Metis' angry voice, Metis appeared in front of Artemis in the form of a human girl, and said with a sneer.

"No matter how much he blasphemes me, he still regards me as the capital of the Kingdom of Athens - the patron saint of the city of Athens. In this era, usually the patron saint of the capital is regarded as the patron saint of the country. That is to say , I will become the queen of the gods in the Kingdom of Athens in the future. Seeing the benefits that Roy can bring me, it is nothing to endure his blasphemy. If you have the opportunity to become the queen of the gods from a wandering god who is about to fall, even Let you marry Luo Yi now, do you dare to say that you will refuse?"

From wandering god on the verge of fall to queen of the gods in the kingdom of Athens—

Of course Artemis could not refuse such a condition.

After all, the development potential of the Kingdom of Athens proves that the Kingdom of Athens will soon become the number one power in the world.

Becoming the queen of the gods in the kingdom of Athens means becoming the most powerful god in the world.

Not to mention wandering gods, I am afraid that even the patron saint who owns the throne of God is willing to marry Roy who is a human being in order to become the most powerful god in the world.

"Metis! Do you just endure his blasphemy like this?"

"Artemis, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. I had a conflict with Roy, and was even kicked out of the throne by him. You have a chance to replace me as the patron saint of Athens."

Metis said with a sneer.

"The lifespan of human beings is only a few decades. As long as I survive until the death of Roy, I can suppress the future king of the Kingdom of Athens with increasingly powerful theocracy. After hundreds of years, I can let my priests falsify history and Myth, delete the history and myths that Roy blasphemed me, and let Roy become the king of Athens who served the goddess Metis like a son in history and mythology.”

"Don't you worry that he will become a god?"

"Even if he becomes a hero god, so what? When he was a human being, he could still use human power to suppress me. When he becomes a hero god, he will speak with strength in the world of gods. The so-called hero god——"

Metis looked at Calypso beside Artemis and said.

"I'm afraid that even Calypso, the weakest god beside you, can't defeat the Hero God."

Artemis shook his head and said.

"What I'm saying is, you're not worried about him becoming a real god?"

"How is that possible?"

Metis said with a firm face.

"Humans have become gods like us—that's something that has never happened in the past. He can become a hero god, which is already considered remarkable."

Calypso looked at the Temple of Metis, and suddenly asked a question that made Metis and Artemis' eyes widen.

"If Roy can become a real god, will he want to make himself the king of the gods in the Kingdom of Athens?"
