I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 5 I Come From the Far East
Although she is over 30 years old, Pandion's wife is still beautiful and looks like a young woman in her 20s.

After Roy smiled and nodded to Pandion's wife, he looked at the three children of Pandion and his wife.

Their son was a beautiful boy of about the same age, dressed in plain linen clothes like his father Pandion, and he was also looking at Roy, a stranger, with curious eyes.

Their eldest daughter is a beautiful girl about 16 years old, wearing a white cotton dress like her mother, with a purple shawl on her shoulders.

Their youngest daughter, aged about 15, was dressed in the same style as her sister, with a red shawl over her shoulders.

The two beautiful girls not only inherited their mother's beauty, but they are also better than blue. Standing together, they look like two beautiful elves.

When Roy looked at the two girls, the younger sister whispered to her older sister.

"Sister! Should we cover our faces in front of foreigners?"

After speaking, he pulled up the shawl on his shoulders to cover his shy little face.

The elder sister patted the younger sister's little hand and said.

"Outlanders have seen our faces, and it's too late to cover them."

The two girls didn't seem to want their faces to be seen by strange men. Roy lowered his head actively, admiring the beautiful ankles of the two girls without shoes under their long skirts.

At this time, Roy noticed that not only the indoor floor of Pandion's stone house was polished stone slabs, but even the courtyard was covered with polished stone slabs, so none of Pandion's family members wore shoes.

"Dear wife!"

Pandion, standing beside Roy, gave instructions to his beautiful wife.

"The soldiers who are patrolling with me today must give them more food as a reward. Priest Loi is my most honored guest. Let the servants slaughter a cow and take out my treasured wine. I will entertain Luo Yi with the highest etiquette." Iraqi priest."

After giving instructions to his wife, Pandion walked to a stone bench and sat down. Two young and beautiful maids immediately knelt beside Pandion and helped him take off his straw sandals.

Pandion walked to his family barefoot, saw Roy still standing there, and said with a smile.

"Priest Loi! Take off your shoes and enter the room!"

"Oh!"

Following Pandion's example, Roy went to the stone bench and sat down. Just as Roy was about to take off his shoes, the two maids from before knelt down beside Roy, ready to help Roy take off his shoes.

Roy hurriedly pushed away their hands and said.

"Don't be like this, I don't need your service."

The two maids failed to complete the task of helping the guests take off their shoes, and they still knelt beside Roy with uneasy expressions on their faces.

It wasn't until Roy took off his sneakers that the two maids got up and left with Roy's shoes in their hands.

Although Roy took off his shoes, he still wore socks on his feet.

When Roy walked up to Pandion, Pandion's wife couldn't help asking.

"Dear Priest Loi, what are you wearing on your feet? It looks... like a kind of clothes made of cotton..."

"Madam has such a good eye. I am indeed wearing cotton socks."

Roy pulled up his trousers and introduced.

"A sock is a kind of clothing worn on the feet to protect the feet from insects or small animals. The length of the socks can cover the ankles or the knees. Young and beautiful girls wear knees. Stockings will make them look more beautiful and attractive."

After speaking, Roy looked at Pandion's two daughters.

If these two elf-like cute and beautiful girls are bewitched by their own words, their appearance in stockings is very worth looking forward to.

Seeing Roy staring at the daughters, Pandion's wife said with an unhappy expression.

"Can't an old woman like me wear the stockings you're talking about?"

Roy said hurriedly.

"A beautiful woman like Madam can certainly wear stockings, and she will be very attractive, which can increase the relationship between Madam and Chief Pandion."

After Pandion's wife showed a satisfied smile, Pandion immediately pulled Roy into the stone house.

In the spacious stone hall, there are several stone tables for eating.

Pandion took Roy to the stone table in the middle and sat down. After Pandion's son and two daughters came and sat down beside him, Pandion said to Roy.

"Priest Loi! Let me introduce you now. This is my eldest son, Erechtheus, and these are my two daughters, Procne and Philomela."

Roy looked at the three siblings and said.

"Prince Erechtheus! Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! I am Roy, the priest who serves Metis, the goddess of wisdom. I am very glad to meet you."

"Hahahaha……"

Hearing Roy calling herself a princess, Philomela couldn't help but smile coquettishly.

"You treat me and my sister as a princess, and my brother as a prince?"

Roy said with a smile.

"The Athenian tribe with a population of 5000 is equivalent to a small or medium-sized city-state. As the noble sons and daughters of the leader of Pandion, you are indeed equivalent to princes and princesses."

"What an eloquent stranger."

Erechtheus commented expressionlessly.

At this moment, a group of maids brought clay pots containing wine and bread and placed them on the stone table in front of Roy.

The utensil for drinking is also a clay cup with a large mouth.

After the maids filled the pottery cups with wine, Pandion picked up a glass of wine and said.

"Priest Loy! It will take some time for my servants to prepare the barbecue and oatmeal. Let's drink wine and eat bread first!"

"As a guest, I completely obey the host's arrangements."

After speaking, Roy held up the clay cup and drank the wine.

Although Roy is not very hungry yet, his throat is indeed thirsty.

After drinking glass after glass of wine, Pandion suddenly asked after Roy appeared drunk.

"Priest Loy! Can you tell us where you are from and what is the purpose of coming to our Athens tribe?"

"East... I come from the East..."

Roy pointed to Dongfang and said.

"I come from the far east, far, far east. It is farther east than the Phoenician region ruled by the Phoenicians, and the Mesopotamia region ruled by the Babylonians. The purpose of my coming to the tribe of Athens is to want to Persuade you to honor the goddess of wisdom, and let the great goddess of wisdom Metis be the patron saint of the Athenian tribe."

"The east farther than the Phoenician region and the Mesopotamia... Could it be the legendary Indian region?"

Even if Pandion was the leader of the Athenian tribe, he could not have imagined that the east mentioned by Roy was farther away than the legendary Indian region.

Hearing that Roy said that the Athenian tribe should honor the goddess of wisdom, Erechtheus asked Pandion.

"Father! Shall we accept gods brought by foreigners?"

Pandion said with a faint smile.

"Let a real god become the patron saint of the Athenian tribe, maybe it will make our Athenian tribe develop better."
