I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 68 The Anomaly of Harmonia

Cadmus turned out to be the victim of an attack—

Knowing this fact, Roy didn't feel guilty about Cadmus' death in his heart.

After all, Cadmus's identity was originally a foreign invader. If Harmonia did not take the initiative to attack Cadmus, it would become a tribe where Cadmus took the initiative to attack Harmonia.

As a qualified tribal leader, it was the right decision for Harmonia to preemptively attack Cadmus.

It's a pity that Harmonia underestimated Cadmus' strength and overestimated her own.

Without Roy's intervention, Harmonia would have lost to Cadmus, and become Cadmus' captive and spoils of war.

Cadmus, who becomes the victor, will also use Harmonia to control her tribe.

Roy came back to his senses, and looked at Harmonia again.

Harmonia said with a blushing face.

"Please help me up!"

Roy immediately embraced Harmonia with his left hand, and helped Harmonia stand up.

"you……"

Harmonia said with wide eyes shyly.

"I want you to help me up, not for you to hug me."

Roy immediately retracted his hands and said.

"I'm sorry... I just wanted to help you up, and I didn't mean to offend you."

Harmonia turned her head to the other side and said.

"When I was about to lose to the outsider, you helped me kill the outsider, not only saved me, but also saved our Thebes tribe. Even if you deliberately offended me, I am willing to forgive you."

Hearing Harmonia's words, Roy said full of doubts.

"Why did you have such a big change in your attitude towards me? Before you fell into a coma, you were very wary of me, but now you—"

"I don't even know what's going on!"

Harmonia turned her back to Roy and said.

"When I woke up and saw your face, there was an inexplicable feeling in my heart, which made me feel that I was not myself."

After explaining his situation, Harmonia turned around, blushed and looked at Roy and said.

"You are the benefactor who saved me and the Thebes tribe. I can't turn my back on you rudely. Outlander! Now I will officially introduce you. You are now the largest tribe in Thebes area Thebes tribe , I am Harmonia, the priestess and leader of the Thebes tribe. I... I am 17 years old, and I am still an unmarried girl."

"You said you were only 17 years old?"

Roy stared wide-eyed in shock, staring at the big murderous thing under Harmonia's beautiful neck and said.

"I thought you were at least already! If you didn't look at your face, I thought you were at least 20 years old."

"Don't stare at me all the time, I will be shy too."

Harmonia said to Roy with a shy and proud smile.

"Outlander, tell me about your situation!"

"I'm not a stranger!"

Seeing Harmonia's puzzled expression, Roy continued.

"Priest of Harmonia, I am actually your neighbor. I am from the Athenian tribe in Attica, and I am a priest who serves the gods just like you. The foreigners attacked by you are Phoenicians, and their leader His name is Cadmus. Cadmus and his soldiers first landed on the Attica peninsula, contacted our Athenian tribe, and then came to your Thebes region."

"Are you a priest of the Athenian tribe?"

Harmonia looked at Roy suspiciously and said.

"Although you have black hair and black eyes, your skin is not as white as the locals. You should be a foreigner from the East."

"I am indeed a foreigner from the far east, but I am also a priest of the Athenian tribe."

Roy looked at Harmonia's golden long hair and said.

"Priest of Harmonia! If I am a foreigner and cannot become a priest of the Athenian tribe, then you are also a girl with blond hair and blue eyes, so you should not be able to become the priest and leader of the black-haired and black-eyed Thebes."

"Although I am not black-haired or black-eyed, I am a true Thebes."

Harmonia held her blond hair with her right hand and said.

"My father was the leader of the previous generation of Thebes tribe. I have blond hair and blue eyes because my mother is a blond Dorian woman. I am a mixed-race child born to my father and a Dorian woman. This is Thebes. This is something that everyone in the Si tribe knows, so everyone can accept me as a priest and leader."

To the north of the Thebes region is the Thessaly region where the blond nomadic Dorians live.

As the neighbors of the Dorians, the Thebes did have the opportunity to intermarry with the Dorians and give birth to mixed-race children.

"Leader of Harmonia! Let me introduce you formally. I am Loi, the priest of the Athenian tribe. I am 20 years old, and I am also an unmarried man. I come from a very far east, and the gods I serve are great Goddess Metis."

This is not a blind date, why should I introduce my age and marital status?
But Harmonia had already introduced her age and marital status, and Roy could only introduce her own situation on an equal footing.

"You're not married yet?"

Harmonia said with eyes widened in surprise.

"A man has to prepare for marriage at the age of 16. I thought you were already married, and there would even be several women. I didn't expect you to be unmarried."

Then, Harmonia said with a joyful smile.

"Priest Loi! You are the benefactor who saved me and the Thebes tribe. Now I will deal with the affairs of the tribe, and then I will hold a grand banquet for you, and welcome you to our Thebes tribe."

After speaking, Harmonia left the stone house as if fleeing.

Looking at Harmonia's back, Roy murmured suspiciously.

"Could it be that Harmonia fell in love with me at first sight because I saved her?"

In a blink of an eye, night fell.

In the open space outside the palace of Harmonia, a huge bonfire was lit to illuminate the surrounding space.

Thousands of Thebes gathered around the bonfire to participate in the feast celebrating the defeat of the foreign invaders.

This is indeed a grand banquet.

But the protagonist of this banquet is not Roy, but the patron saint of the Thebes, Mnemosyne, the goddess of the earth.

The joyful Thebes sang and danced around the bonfire, thanking the goddess Mnemosyne for her blessings, and thanking the goddess Mnemosyne for helping them defeat the invaders.

Roy stood with Harmonia, feeling in his heart that his credit was taken away by the goddess Mnemosyne.

After all, if he hadn't intervened, today's winners would be Cadmus and Aphrodite.

Harmonia seemed to be aware of Roy's thoughts, and said with a bright and sweet smile.

"Priest Loi! You are also a priest who serves the gods. You should understand that the gods should be the most important protagonists in the form. When the ceremony dedicated to the goddess Mnemosyne is over, I will introduce you to the people of the clan, so that You become the real protagonist."
