I was a priest in the city-state era

At night, the downpour finally stopped.

After the banquet, Sisyphus did not arrange Roy and Harmonia into the guest room, but directly let Roy and Harmonia live in a palace where only the Corinthian royal family could live.

In the palace illuminated by bronze oil lamps burning olive oil, Harmonia entered the bathing room accompanied by a group of palace maids, and Roy came outside the palace to admire the night sky.

Just when Roy was about to return to the palace, the goddess Amphitrite suddenly appeared above the palace with a figure of 100 meters tall, walking towards the Gulf of Corinth north of the city of Corinth with huge steps.

Roy took a look at the location where the goddess Amphitrite appeared and found that directly below the goddess Amphitrite was the temple of Amphitrite in the palace. He immediately understood that the goddess Amphitrite had been in the temple just now. .

Seeing that the goddess Amphitrite wanted to leave the temple on the Corinth Acropolis and return to the sea, Roy couldn't help but said loudly.

"Great goddess Amphitrite, please wait a moment."

Hearing Roy's voice, Amphitrite stopped and turned around, looking down at Roy with a surprised expression.

"You can indeed see me."

Then, Amphitrite's huge figure shrunk at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally transformed into a girl of about seventeen years old and flew down in front of Roy.

At this time, the distance between Roy and Amphitrite was less than five meters. Seeing the beautiful figure of the goddess holding a silver trident at close range, Roy could not help but widen his eyes in surprise.

This goddess who is very similar to Metis wears a beautiful blue and white dress, a silver ornament like a crown on her head, a silver belt around her waist, and a pair of small and cute ankles wearing silver strappy sandals.

She has long blue hair that hangs down to her waist, and a pair of big eyes as beautiful as emeralds.

The sleeveless dress exposed her snow-white arms, and the tight belt highlighted the slender waist.

After recovering from the shock, Roy asked doubtfully.

"Great Amphitrite, I want to know why you gave me your divine power and blessings."

"You really don't understand?"

Amphitrite said with a smile.

"If I don't give you my divine power and blessings, not only will you be defeated by Perseus, but the city of Corinth will also be conquered by the Mycenaeans. As the patron saint of the city of Corinth, I will become the leader of the Mycenaeans. A prisoner of the god Zeus, you have suffered all kinds of humiliation from Zeus, so I give you my divine power and blessings just to protect me and the city of Corinth.”

"That……"

Roy said tentatively.

"After the war between Corinth and the Mycenaeans is over, will you take back your divine power and blessings from me?"

"It seems that this is what you really want to ask."

Amphitrite said with a serious expression.

"Without your intervention, the Mycenaeans would have conquered the city of Corinth, so you have the merit of saving the city of Corinth - saving me. I can promise that as long as you do not become the enemy of the city of Corinth, I will not take back the gift Your divine power and blessings.”

Hearing Amphitrite's promise, Roy immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving Amphitrite's divine power and blessings and being upgraded to a great hero [Thousand Enemies], Roy has always been worried that Amphitrite would withdraw her divine power and blessings and turn his strength back into a hero [Hundred Enemies].

"The great goddess Amphitrite, I really don't know how to thank you. Now the city of Corinth, the city of Athens, and the city of Thebes have formed a three-goddess alliance. I will defend the city of Corinth and the goddess Amphitrite as an ally. "

"Mnemosyne has been my neighbor for a long time, and Metis is my sister who is also the goddess of the sea. I am very happy that the city of Corinth can become an ally with the city-state they protect. Human! If you have nothing else to do, then I’m going back to the sea, after all, the sea is my real home.”

Roy nodded immediately.

"I have nothing to waste your time on."

Amphitrite returned to the form of a hundred-meter-tall god, and after leaving with huge silent steps, Roy looked at Amphitrite's leaving back and whispered in a low voice.

"Is it because they have been in contact with humans as patron saints for thousands of years? The goddesses Mnemosyne and Amphitrite both make me feel that they are more willing than the goddess Metis who recently became the patron saint. Contact humans.”

Although Metis didn't show it, Roy always felt that Metis was like a arrogant young lady, always looking down on humans with the pride of being a goddess.

Mnemosyne and Amphitrite were like approachable rulers, treating humans as their subjects.

In front of Metis, Roy would feel the distance that humans feel when facing gods.

In front of Mnemosyne and Amphitrite, Roy felt the distance between human civilians and the human queen.

When Roy turned around and returned to the palace, he saw that Harmonia had walked out of the bathroom and was drying her wet blond hair next to the campfire.

Seeing Roy coming back from outside, Harmonia said immediately.

"My dear, you should go to the bathroom and take a shower too!"

Roy smiled as he walked to the bathroom.

"When your hair is dry, go and warm my bed."

Arriving at the bathroom door, Roy stopped and said to the palace maids behind him.

"You just stay outside, I don't need your service."

After saying that, Roy entered the bathroom alone.

the next day.

Roy and Harmonia woke up early from their sleep before the sun rose in the east.

After all, the Mycenaeans were still outside Corinth, and the war was not over yet.

Roy and Harmonia came to the palace hall and saw Sisyphus sitting on his throne, listening to the soldiers' report with a surprised look on his face.

Seeing Roy and Harmonia, Sisyphus said with great joy.

"Young Roy! Beautiful Harmonia! Maybe you should go back and have another sleep. My soldiers just told me that the Mycenaeans' army is returning to Mycenae. The war is over, and it is our victory."

The Mycenaeans withdrew their troops--

Roy was not surprised to hear the news.

After Harmonia arrived with 500 Theban soldiers, the Mycenaeans had changed from the advantaged party to the disadvantaged party.

If this war continues, the Mycenaeans will surely suffer a disastrous defeat, so it is a very wise choice for the Mycenaeans to take the initiative to end the war.

"The war is not over yet."

Seeing Harmonia and Sisyphus showing puzzled expressions, Roy said with a serious expression.

"This war can be started by the Mycenaeans, but it cannot be ended by them. In order to prevent the Mycenaeans from launching wars against us at will, I think we should attack Mycenae. Even if we cannot conquer Mycenae, we must force King Acrisius of Mycenae to accept the peace treaty we proposed."

"We go to attack Mycenae--"

After listening to Roy's words, Sisyphus showed a hesitant expression.

Harmonia said immediately.

"King of Corinth! If you don't want the Corinthian soldiers to attack Mycenae with us, then provide us with food supplies!"
