I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 96 The Athenian Maiden God Metis
Metis restrained his blue divine light, looked down at Roy expressionlessly and said.

"What's the matter with you?"

At this moment, Roy fell into hesitation.

Because the purpose of Roy to prevent Metis from leaving is to confess to Metis.

Perhaps it was because of the contact with the goddess Mnemosyne that Luo Yi reduced his awe of the goddess Metis.

After struggling a bit, Roy mustered up the courage to speak to Metis.

"Goddess Metis! I want to tell you that when we first met, I fell in love with you. This is why I will never betray you."

"You're chasing me—"

Metis frowned, mockingly with a sneer.

"Human! You want to fool the goddess of wisdom? You say you love me, how long have we been in contact? How many words have we said? What reason do you have to fall in love with me? You say you love me, I see you just want to be My husband, share from me the immortality and power of the gods."

Hearing what Metis said, Roy thought about it carefully.

The total contact time between Roy and Metis was only a few minutes.

What Roy said to Metis was also small enough to be calculated with the fingers of two hands.

It was precisely because of this that Roy thought that he fell in love with Metis at first sight.

But Roy knew very well in his heart that he was not someone who would fall in love at first sight.

Even if Metis is a divine and beautiful goddess, even if Metis saved Roy's life, Roy has no reason to fall in love with Metis.

Perhaps it was not Metis who made Roy fall in love at first sight, but the immortality and power possessed by Metis as a god.

Thinking of this, Roy looked at Metis with candid eyes and said.

"Goddess Metis, I don't deny that I want to be your husband because I want to share eternal life and divine power with you, but I think I also really love you."

"you are lying!"

Metis immediately sneered.

"If there is another goddess who expresses his willingness to marry you and share eternal life and power with you, will you reject that goddess, or continue to pursue me, the goddess who does not want to marry you?"

Facing this question, Roy thought about it seriously.

If the goddess Mnemosyne is willing to marry herself and Metis is unwilling to marry herself, will she choose to marry the goddess Mnemosyne or continue to pursue Metis.

In the end, the answer Roy got was that Roy would choose to marry Mnemosyne in order to obtain eternal life and power and supernatural power.

Seeing Roy's inner thoughts from the change in Roy's expression, Metis joked.

"It seems that you already understand what your heart is really pursuing! Don't say that your love for me is fake, even if you really love me, I will not marry a mere human being. As a holy virgin, Neither a human man nor a male god has the right to blaspheme me."

"Are you going to be a virgin who will never marry for life?"

Seeing that Metis did not deny it, Roy continued.

"Then, as the virgin goddess of Athens, you will get the alias of Athena [Athens Maiden] and become Athena Metis."

"Athena Metis—"

Metis' eyes lit up, and he said with a faint smile.

"If in the future I make a vow not to marry for life and establish that I am the eternal virgin goddess of Athens, then I will accept the name Athena [the girl of Athens], and let this name belong to me only."

The alias of Athena [Girl of Athens] is of course a very broad alias.

As long as it is a virgin goddess in Athens, it can be called Athena [Athens girl].

In other words, even Procne, the goddess of dew, Philomela, the goddess of fields, and Chione, the goddess of winter snow, who are deified as goddesses, can use the name Athena.

If Metis wants to become the only Athena, she must annex Procne, Philomela, and Chione, who are Athena-qualified goddesses, or let them marry and lose their status as virgins.

Roy can think of this, and of course Metis can also think of this.

Metis looked at Roy with soft eyes and said.

"Loy! As a human being, you should pursue human girls. There are human girls such as Procne, Philomela, and Kayone beside you. You should pursue them. Now you have me and Mnemosyne's blessing, your strength is enough to overthrow Pandion and become the new ruler of the Athenian tribe. Even if you occupy Procne, Philomela, and Chione at the same time, no one can oppose you. Give up Pursue the unrealistic idea of ​​a goddess, and grasp the happiness that is within your reach!"

After finishing speaking, a blue divine light bloomed on Metis.

When the azure divine light disappeared, Metis' body turned back into the statue of Metis.

"It really failed!"

His confession was rejected by Metis, of course it was expected by Roy.

"It seems that Aphrodite's blessing only works on human girls, and cannot affect the goddess who has a crush on me."

As a great contributor to helping Metis become the patron saint of the Athens tribe, Roy knew that Metis was like Mnemosyne, and he had a somewhat favorable impression of him in his heart.

Roy would muster up the courage to confess to Metis, just to use Aphrodite's blessing to make his confession a success.

Although the confession failed, it also allowed Roy to confirm that Aphrodite's blessing could not have an effect on the goddess.

Roy walked to the door of the stone house with a heartbroken heart, and saw the door of the wooden house where the maids lived was slightly opened, and Kaone was standing behind the door and looking at herself.

A dim shadow enveloped Kione's body, preventing Roy from seeing the expression on Kione's face.

Roy could only speak tentatively.

"Did you hear what I said just now?"

As a human being, Kayone cannot see Metis' figure, nor can she hear Metis' voice.

But she could see Roy's figure and hear Roy's voice.

Hearing Roy's question, Kaone came out from the door.

The bright moonlight shone on Kione's long white hair and white dress that hung down her shoulders, making her beautiful and holy like the goddess of winter snow who descended to the world.

Kayone said nervously.

"I heard that you want to pursue the goddess Metis."

"It doesn't matter if you hear it."

Roy stretched out his hands, hugged Kaone's petite body tightly in his arms and said.

"You are my slave, a woman who belongs to me. I believe you will never betray me. Even if my desire to pursue a goddess is known, I don't mind being the object of others' ridicule."

"Great gods are of a different level from us humans. Even if you love the goddess in your heart, it is a kind of blasphemy."

Kaone couldn't help persuading Roy.

"If you really want to be a god, try to make yourself a hero god."

"You want me to give up pursuing the goddess Metis?"

Roy said with a faint smile.

"I'm different from you guys! I think that although gods have great power, they are essentially the same life as human beings, so I will not give up pursuing the goddess. Because I want to live to be a god, and I don't want to be a god after death. To be a hero-god forever inferior to the gods."
