I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 63 Just Wants Me to Be a Tool Man

Although Roy did not agree to become an adopted son, he did not refuse either.

Pandion said with a fatherly smile.

"For such an important matter, you really should think carefully about it."

Cadmus, the protagonist of the banquet, had left, but the banquet for Cadmus continued.

Roy and Pandion's family finished eating the staple food of the banquet, barbecue, and said to Pandion.

"Leader Pandion, thank you for your hospitality, now I should return to the temple."

Pandion nodded.

"I look forward to your reply tomorrow."

After Roy got up and left, Philomela pulled Procne up and chased Roy out of the hall.

The courtyard outside the stone house.

Roy put on his strappy sandals and was about to leave when Philomela's crisp and sweet voice suddenly called out behind Roy.

"Brother Roy—"

Roy, whose sister-in-law's soul was almost awakened, immediately turned around with a stiff smile, looked at Procne and Philomela who walked in front of him and said.

"Princess Philomela, I haven't promised to be the adopted son of the leader of Pandion."

"Don't you want to be a family with us?"

Philomela said coquettishly.

"I am very willing to let you be our elder brother."

Then Philomela looked at Procne.

"Sister, do you want Priest Loy to be our brother Loy?"

"Philomela, such things cannot be forced."

Procne first looked at Philomela helplessly, then looked at Roy with complicated eyes and said.

"Priest Loy, you don't have to force yourself to accept your father's request. Whether you are Priest Loy or our elder brother Loy, my feelings for you are the same."

Hearing Procne's words, Roy smiled helplessly.

If it is really possible to refuse Pandion's request at will, Roy has already refused just now.

After all, Roy is not a fool, so of course he doesn't want to be used by Pandion as a tool man called "Adopted Son".

But Roy knew very well that his refusal of the seemingly well-intentioned olive branch thrown by Pandion would inevitably arouse Pandion's hostility.

The problem is that the current Roy doesn't have the strength to fight against Pandion.

"Prince Procne—Procne! Philomela! In fact, even if I didn't become the adopted son of the leader of Pandion, I already regarded you as a family member like my own sister. For becoming your family member, I also have my own thoughts." expected."

Hearing what Roy said, Philomela said with eyes widened in surprise.

"You mean to say that you will agree to be father's adopted son and become our brother Roy?"

Roy kept a smile on his face, neither admitting nor denying it.

If Pandion had made himself the husband of Procne or Philomela and integrated into his family as a son-in-law, Roy had already agreed to Pandion's request.

But Roy always had a strong resistance in his heart to make himself Pandion's adopted son.

Stone House Hall.

After Erechtheus got up and left, Zeuxiper took the initiative to ask Pandion.

"My dear husband, what are you thinking? Why did you suddenly propose to make Roy our adopted son?"

"I'm old……"

Pandion looked up with a complicated expression on his face and said.

"Zuxipper! Today's battle with Cadmus made me realize that I am no longer young. My body is gradually weakening, making me unable to match young heroes. If the Athenian tribe needs to face Kadmus in the future For a young hero as powerful as Moss, Erechtheus and I alone may not be able to defeat such a powerful enemy. I want Roy to be an adopted son, just to restrain him with family ties so that he can not only hurt Erech Theus, and become the helper of Erechtheus."

After listening to Pandion's explanation, Zeuxiper said with a serious face.

"Aren't you worried that Roy will compete with Erechtheus for the inheritance?"

Pandion said with a smile.

"Roy is not the same as Cadmus. He doesn't have the strong ambitions of Cadmus."

"In this case--"

Zeukiper asked suspiciously.

"Then why don't you consider making Roy our son-in-law? Although I also hope that Procne and Philomela will marry the chief of the tribe or the king of the city-state, I also hope that they will always be by my side. Lokner or Philomela marry Roy, and we shall see our married daughter anytime."

"no!"

Pandion shook his head without hesitation.

"Roy cannot be our son-in-law! Now Roy has no ambitions because he is not qualified to compete with Erechtheus for the right of inheritance. Roy becomes the husband of Procne or Philomela, and he has the right to be with Erech. If Theus competes for the right of succession, maybe he will develop ambitions that he shouldn't have."

Temple of Metis.

When Roy returned to the stone room of the temple, he lay on the stone bed like a puddle of soft mud.

Hearing the sound of Kaone and the three maids talking and laughing from the wooden house next door, Roy patted the wall dissatisfied.

The neighbors immediately fell silent.

A few seconds later, Kaone pushed open the door of the stone house and walked in, looking at the listless Roy and asked.

"Do you have something to tell us?"

"No! I just want you to be quiet, don't make me upset."

Kaone came over curiously, sat on the stone bed and asked.

"Priest Loi! I heard that not only did the foreigners from the sea not fight with the Athenian tribes, but they were also entertained by the leader of Pandion as guests. That is to say, those foreigners will not attack the Athenian tribes, nor will they attack us Eleu Sith?"

"Um……"

Roy said casually.

"If nothing else happens, Cadmus will leave the Attica Peninsula with his soldiers and go to the Thebes area to gain a foothold. But in order to confirm that Cadmus has left the Attica Peninsula, we must send someone to follow the surveillance card Demos-"

Having said that, Roy couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"If I follow Cadmus, then I can leave for a while without giving my answer."

After finishing speaking, Roy immediately hugged Kaone who was sitting beside her happily, and let Kaone lie on the bed with him.

Being hugged by Roy's hands, Kaone blushed and said to Roy while trying to push Roy away with both hands.

"Let go of me! Let go of me quickly! If you humiliate me, I will kill you after you fall asleep."

"Do you threaten me?"

Roy said jokingly.

"I have already ordered Aries, if you dare to kill me, Aries will take his companions and kill five hundred Eleusisians to be buried with me. If you think my life is better than the lives of your five hundred people More importantly, you can kill me at any time. If you think the lives of five hundred clansmen are more important, then you should obediently be my slave and stop resisting my master."

"You—how could you do this to me?"

"Should I be like your licking dog Erechtheus, even if you are a slave, should I cherish you as a beloved woman? Unfortunately, I have no interest in being a licking dog for you, I just want to be your Master, make you obey all my orders."

Seeing that Kaone had given up resistance in despair, Roy gave an order with a demonic evil smile.

"Kione! From now on, you must call me master."

"Obey! Lord...Master..."
