I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 141 Sacrifice Ceremony to Pray for a Good Harvest

It is not difficult to understand the meaning of what Minos just said.

It’s just because it’s easy to understand that it’s even more surprising.

Under Roy's surprised gaze, four young and beautiful priestesses walked out of the Temple of Europa and climbed onto the altar. They used the tools prepared in advance to build a curtain on the altar.

The fabric used for the curtain is translucent, so people around the altar can still vaguely see Minos and the queen inside the curtain.

After the four young priestesses exited the curtain, Minos and the queen in the curtain began to offer sacred rituals to the goddess Europa.

Procne shyly hid in Roy's arms and asked in a low voice full of doubts.

"Brother Roy, Minos and the Queen are doing this at the altar of the goddess Europa. Isn't this an act of blasphemy against the goddess?"

Roy lowered his head and explained to Procne's ear.

"Although the goddess Europa is an unmarried goddess, she is the mother goddess of the earth who flaunts her harvest. Therefore, Minos and the queen used this ritual to sacrifice the goddess Europa, which is not considered a blasphemy against the goddess Europa."

"Why do they perform this sacred ritual?"

"This is an ancient ritual that has been passed down for thousands of years. They just follow the tradition and perform the ritual. The original intention of people thousands of years ago to perform this ritual may be because they felt that by sacrificing sacrifices to the Mother Earth with sacred rituals, the Mother Earth would be able to give gifts A good harvest. Minos and his queen performed sacred rituals so that the people of Knossos could have a good harvest. I think I should admire them.”

"Brother Roy... you are the male priest of the goddess Metis, and I am the female priest of the goddess Metis. Do you also want to do this kind of thing with me?"

Looking at the blushing Procne, Roy said jokingly.

"I think this kind of sacred ritual is indeed worth learning from. If we perform the sacred ritual in the temple, would you like to pray for a good harvest with me?"

"Um……"

Procne nodded, and Roy immediately said with a smile.

"Silly girl, the goddess Metis is the goddess of the ocean and does not yet have the attributes of the earth goddess, so we don't need to use this ritual to sacrifice to the goddess Metis. And the goddess Metis is a girl goddess who is known for her purity. This kind of ritual sacrifice to the goddess Metis will only make the goddess Metis angry."

Procne breathed a sigh of relief first, then looked at Pandora with sympathetic eyes and said.

"Princess Pandora is the fiancée of Prince Deucalion. From now on, Prince Deucalion will become the next Minos, and Princess Pandora will become the next queen. In other words, we will be able to see Prince Deucalion and Pandora in the future. The princess performs a sacred ceremony here?"

Pandora immediately pretended to be angry and glared at Procne.

"I wouldn't do such a shameless thing."

Half an hour later.

Minos and the queen finished the sacrificial ceremony, the four priestesses removed the curtain, and Minos appeared on the altar with majestic momentum and shouted loudly.

"My people! As your king, I have personally set an example for you. In the coming year, farmers must work hard to cultivate the fields, and shepherds must work hard to herd livestock. The great goddess Europa will make us have good weather and good weather. , the failure to get a good harvest during the harvest season is all the result of your own laziness.”

After Minos finished speaking, thousands of Knossos people around him immediately laughed and cheered loudly.

"Long live the great goddess Europa! Long live the great Minos [Minotaur]!"

"Long live the great goddess Europa! Long live the great Minos [Minotaur]!"

"Long live the great goddess Europa! Long live the great Minos [Minotaur]!"

To the cheers of the people of Knossos, Minos and the queen left the altar and returned to their ox-cart.

After the royal family of Knossos returned to the second carriage, the princes and princesses immediately returned to the third carriage.

Led by Minos and the Queen's ox-cart, the team returned to the city and toured the entire city of Knossos.

Returning to the palace in the evening, today's Spring Plowing Ceremony is truly over.

night.

In the palace of Minos.

A grand banquet was held in the brightly lit palace hall, and princes and princesses from various city-states were invited to the banquet.

Roy brought Procne and Pandora to the hall, and saw the nobles of Knossos City gathered on the right side of the banquet hall, and the princes and princesses as guests gathered on the left side of the banquet hall.

The three Roys came to the left side of the banquet hall, and Perseus said deliberately.

"Everyone, look! Someone has brought Princess Pandora. If someone who doesn't know sees it, I'm afraid they will think that Princess Pandora is not the fiancée of Prince Deucalion, but someone's fiancée."

Deucalion was also sitting with the princes at this time. When he heard Perseus' words, his face immediately became extremely ugly.

Under the watchful eyes of the princes and princesses, Deucalion forced a smile and said.

"Loy and her fiancée Princess Procne are always together, and they sleep together at night. This is something that many people know."

Deucalion's meaning is obvious——

Roy has always been stuck with Procne, so it is impossible for Roy to hook up with Pandora.

These words would obviously damage Procne's reputation.

Although it is true that Roy and Procne are stuck together, Procne will definitely become a laughing matter to others because Procne lived with her fiancé before they got married.

Roy looked at Deucalion with dissatisfaction.

Procne was not sad, but was very happy that everyone knew the relationship between Roy and her.

Deucalion did not care about Roy's reaction. He walked to Pandora and said.

"Dear Pandora! I can finally spend more time with you. I want to be with you at this banquet."

Pandora said expressionlessly.

"Procne will leave tomorrow. I want to be with my friends more."

Deucalion's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Pandora would refuse to be with him at such an important banquet.

At this moment, Minos, the host of the banquet, suddenly said.

"Dear guests! Before the banquet begins, I want to meet the guests from Athens. Roy priest and Princess Procne of Athens! Please come to me and the queen."

Hearing Minos' words, Roy hesitated for a moment, and took Procne to the center of the banquet and stood in front of Minos and the queen.
