I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 375 The Blessing of Artemis
How can one succumb to reality if one has not experienced the beatings of reality.

Goddess Hera's refusal to marry Roy was entirely within Roy's expectations.

After leaving the Sparta region with [-] Pylos soldiers and [-] Spartan soldiers, Roy came to the city of Arcadia in the Arcadia region, where he was going to receive the blessing of the goddess Artemis Peace and power.

Arcadia City.

The Temple of Hermes has been transformed back into the Temple of Artemis.

Accompanied by Princess Callisto of Arcadia, Roy walked into the Temple of Artemis and came to the statue of Artemis.

The statue of Artemis on the throne glowed with divine light, and then the goddess Artemis came down in the form of a human girl, looked at Roy with the eyes of a beast staring at her prey, and said.

"You came."

Roy said with a smile.

"Goddess Artemis! I will help you regain the throne and make you the patron saint of the Kingdom of Athens. You should also give me blessings and divine power. I came to you to get what I deserve."

Artemis is different from Persephone and Hera.

Persephone and Hera have been the patron saints of Pylos and Sparta.

After being reduced to a wandering god, Artemis regained her throne with the help of Roy.

In other words, now Artemis should unconditionally bestow blessings and divine power on Roy.

Artemis also understood this, but she still said it to Roy.

"The Arcadia region is too barren. Although it is the largest of the seven regions in the Peloponnese Peninsula, its population is the smallest among the seven regions. If I continue to develop, I will become the weakest in the Kingdom of Athens Patronus, so you must give me a new territory."

Hearing Artemis' request, Roy said with a displeased expression.

"Goddess Artemis, there is no free lunch in the world. I have helped you ascend to the throne, so you should give me my blessings and divine power. If you want to get more territory from me, you should do so. Pay the price. After all, I am not a priest who serves you, let alone a licking dog who loves you."

"you--"

Faced with Roy's tough attitude, Artemis could only suppress the anger in her heart, because she didn't want to be kicked out of the throne by Roy and become a wandering god.

After being severely beaten in reality, Artemis knew very well that she was just an insignificant, even dispensable, weak patron saint in the Kingdom of Athens.

Until you have enough authority to fight against Roy, temporary forbearance is the wise choice.

"I will give you blessings and divine power as a reward for helping me regain the throne. But I want to know, what should I do now, so that you are willing to give me more territory?"

"When the Kingdom of Athens starts to use archers in war, I will give you more and more territories."

Archers—

This is the arm that entered the Iron Age and played an important role in warfare.

Because of the extensive use of archers on the battlefield, the authority of the God of Hunting will be elevated to a powerful God of War.

But before the appearance of archers, the god of hunting was just a god to help hunters hunt more prey.

In the history of another world, Artemis lost her status as a patron saint because she was only the god of hunting.

The food obtained by the Acadians from hunting is far inferior to the food obtained from livestock.

Therefore, Hermes, the god of animal husbandry, replaced Artemis, the goddess of hunting, and it became inevitable.

The Greek region entered the Iron Age, and archers became an important arm in warfare. The status of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, was re-elevated with the development of the times.

"Archers?"

After listening to Roy's words, Artemis said with bright eyes.

"Do you want the soldiers of the Kingdom of Athens to use bows and arrows as weapons? I can assure you that as long as all the archers of the Kingdom of Athens worship me, you will have the most powerful archer army in the world."

In this age, both the god of agriculture and the god of war wielded powerful authority.

Artemis changed from the goddess of hunting worshiped by hunters to the goddess of war worshiped by archers in the Kingdom of Athens. Of course, her authority will usher in a huge improvement.

Seeing the excitement and anticipation that Artemis couldn't hide, Roy joked blankly.

"Goddess Artemis, you are not the only god of hunting in the Kingdom of Athens. So don't think that the archers of the Kingdom of Athens can only worship you as their protector."

Artemis's smile immediately froze on his face.

After a moment.

Artemis said with a smile again.

"The main ethnicity of the Kingdom of Athens is the Pilaski people, and the only goddess of hunting worshiped by the Pilaski people is me. If you regard the hunting gods of other nations as the protector gods worshiped by the archers of the Kingdom of Athens, it is definitely not wise choice. I will prove to you that the only gods you can trust are the gods we Pilaski worship."

After finishing speaking, Artemis stepped down from the throne and came to Roy, and pressed her right index finger on Roy's forehead and eyebrows.

As Artemis injected a burst of green divine power into Roy's body, a message surged in Roy's mind.

"【crack shot】……"

Seeing the blessing Artemis bestowed upon him, Roy couldn't help complaining.

"I never thought about becoming an archer! Although this blessing is a bit tasteless, I now finally have ten blessings from gods, and I have the divine power bestowed on me by ten goddesses."

At this moment, Roy felt like his body was like a bottle full of water.

The divine power that one's body can hold has finally reached the limit.

If another god gave Roy more divine power, perhaps Roy's body would explode, or the excess divine power would overflow from Roy's body.

"Have I reached the limit of a demigod hero in my current state?"

Hearing Roy talking to himself, Artemis explained.

"Now you have indeed reached the limit state of a demigod hero. Even if you are fighting with hero gods and wandering gods, you still have a chance to escape from them."

"I have ten blessings from gods!"

Roy couldn't help but said.

"If I can restrain the Hero God and the Wandering God in terms of attributes, then I should be able to defeat them!"

"Attribute restraint—"

Artemis immediately complained.

"If the divine power you have is your own divine power, then you can indeed defeat some heroic gods and wandering gods by relying on attribute restraint. But you should understand that all the divine power you have now is lent to you by us. These divine powers It doesn’t really belong to you. Even if you meet hero gods and wandering gods with the same total divine power as yours and whose attributes are restrained by you, you will definitely lose.”
