I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 4 The Athenian Tribes of the Acropolis

When Roy followed Pandion and others to the hill where the tribe lived in Athens, he saw that the hill with an altitude of about 150 meters had only one passage in the west, and the other sides could not be climbed. Then he saw that the top of the hill was relatively flat, about With an area of ​​about [-] square meters, Roy finally confirmed his guess.

The hill where the tribes of Athens lived was where the Acropolis was known to Roy.

"Have I come to ancient Athens in another world?"

Walking on the mountain road leading to the Acropolis, Roy quickly observed the surrounding situation, and saw a small tribe with a population of about [-] people on the south and north sides of the Acropolis Mountain.

The houses of these two small tribes are made of wood, mud, and weeds, and they can barely shelter from wind and rain.

Because there is no winter in the Athens area, the Athenians live in this kind of simple house, and they don't have to worry about being frozen to death by the severe cold in winter.

Pandion observed Roy's reaction and introduced him to Roy.

"Loy priest! There are 3000 people in our Athenian tribe, all of whom live on this Acropolis Hill. The two small tribes below the Acropolis Hill are vassals of our Athenian tribe. Counting these two vassal tribes, our Athenian tribe has about 5000 people. population."

5000 population——

In Roy's opinion, this population is really not that large.

But Pandion and his companions showed proud expressions, as if the Athenian tribe with a population of 5000 was the most populous tribe in this area.

"Could it be that I'm in the Stone Age, so the weapons used by these Athenians are all made of wood? If this is the Stone Age, a tribe with a population of 5000 is really big."

Roy, Pandion and others ascended the Acropolis Hill from the west mountain road, and saw 3000 people living in a space of [-] square meters, making the Acropolis dirty and messy, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

"It stinks..."

Looking at the chaotic houses in front of him and the chaotic pedestrians on the street, Roy covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and said.

"Chief Pandion! 3000 people live in such a small space. It's thanks to you for enduring this dirty, smelly environment."

Hearing Roy criticize their homeland, Pandion's companions immediately glared at Roy.

Pandion explained with a wry smile.

"Priest Loi! All of us in the Athens tribe live on the Acropolis Mountain because the Acropolis Mountain is a fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only living here can guarantee safety. For the safety of everyone, we will always endure this kind of fortress." environment, but I've always wanted to make a difference."

Roy nodded.

"I can understand your choice! But in my opinion, as long as a three- to five-meter-high concrete wall fortress can be built under the Acropolis Mountain, there is no need for everyone to live in the Acropolis Mountain, and the Acropolis Mountain can be transformed into a real military fortress."

"a?"

As the leader, Pandion is also well-informed. He has heard of wooden walls and stone walls, but this is the first time he has heard of concrete walls.

Wouldn't the city walls built with mud collapse as soon as the flood flooded them?
The houses on the Acropolis Mountain are also built with wood, mud, and weeds, and some houses are directly a triangular wooden shed.

Roy followed Pandion and the others through the messy streets towards Pandion's house on the easternmost side of the Acropolis Hill. He saw that few adult residents of the Athenian tribe were over 40 years old, and each household had more than three children.

In this Athenian tribe, which is suspected to be in the Stone Age, man-making is probably the only entertainment at night, so more than half of the tribe's population is children.

When Luo Yi and the others walked to the middle of the Acropolis Hill, Luo Yi saw a 30-year-old woman in a wooden shed, fanning an unconscious child with a piece of cloth.

The unconscious child was about ten years old, his cheeks were unnaturally red, and he was clearly having a fever.

Seeing this scene, Roy immediately rushed into the wooden shed, and shouted at the child's mother in dissatisfaction.

"Do you want to kill your child? Now your child has a fever. The correct way to cool him down is not to let him blow cold air, but to make his body sweat."

After Roy finished speaking, the woman looked at Roy, a foreigner, with vigilant eyes, and did not listen to Roy's words.

At this moment, the child with a fever made a painful and weak sound.

Seeing that the child's mother still hadn't taken the right action, Roy immediately grabbed the cloth from the woman's hand and wrapped the child's body with it.

After wrapping the child's body, he saw that there was a small cloth beside the woman, and Roy took the small cloth and wrapped it around the child's forehead.

At this time, Pandion had come behind Roy.

Seeing that the feverish child was wrapped by Roy until only a small face was exposed, Pandion asked curiously.

"If you do this, can you really save this child? Many children in our Athens tribe died young due to fever. After getting a fever, usually only children with strong bodies can survive."

fever—

A mere fever can be regarded as a disease, and it has claimed the lives of many children.

Roy said while tying up the cloth that was wrapped around the child's forehead.

"As long as the child's physique is normal, my method will definitely reduce his body's fever. Child mother! Don't let your child see the wind from now on. When he is hot enough to sweat, his body will recover. In the child's body You'll keep hydrating him with hot water until he's back to normal."

After listening to Roy's instructions, the child's mother looked at Pandion with a questioning look.

Pandion nodded and said.

"Just do what Priest Loy said!"

Hearing Pandion's words, the child's mother immediately brought more cloth to cover the feverish child, and ordered the elder son to boil water for the younger brother.

After Roy and Pandion returned to the street, Pandion asked excitedly.

"Priest Luoy, do you know the miraculous medical skills of curing diseases and saving lives?"

"Of course I don't understand medicine."

Roy shook his head and said.

"I've just gotten sick more often and gained experience in dealing with colds and fevers."

As soon as Roy finished speaking, Pandion stopped and pointed to a stone house in front of him.

"Priest Loy, we have arrived at my house."

Roy looked at the row of stone houses in front of him, with a shocked expression on his face.

The tribe of Athens is suspected to be in the Stone Age. Building a stone house on the Acropolis is by no means a simple matter, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources.

The row of simple stone houses in front of me is probably equivalent to a luxurious villa in another world.

When Roy was looking at Pandion's stone house, a beautiful woman in her early 30s walked out of the stone house with a boy and two beautiful girls to welcome Pandion, the master.

"Honey, welcome home!"

A beautiful woman who looked like Pandion's wife, wearing a white cotton dress different from linen clothes, and a necklace made of pearls, looked beautiful and noble.

After greeting her husband Pandion, Pandion's wife looked at Roy and said.

"Is this foreigner our guest? Because we don't know that there will be guests, it seems that we will be a little rude when entertaining guests."
