I was a priest in the city-state era

Regardless of whether he drowned in the sea or was eaten by the huge sea snake that looked like a fantasy creature, Roy's final outcome would be death.

Because he knew this, Roy never thought that he would be able to open his eyes and wake up.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

Roy opened his eyes and coughed up the salty seawater while looking around, trying to see who had saved him.

Then Roy saw his body lying on the beach by the sea.

Not far away from his body, there was a girl in a blue dress, with her back to him and facing the sea, sitting on the boundary between the beach and the sea. The seawater rushing up the beach occasionally submerged her body below the waist.

Miraculously, her beautiful dress with no visible fabric showed no sign of being soaked by the sea water.

This is a girl who makes people's hearts flutter just by looking at her back. She has a graceful figure and slender waist. The gold belt tied around her waist shows her nobility. Her beautiful blue hair hanging down from her waist is constantly fluttering in the sea breeze.

"you're awake?"

As if aware of Roy's gaze, the girl asked in a beautiful voice and turned to look at Roy.

The moment their eyes collided, Roy's eyes widened in shock.

Because the girl not only has a flawless and delicate face as expected, but also has a pair of blue eyes that shine with divine light.

Seeing these blue eyes, Roy knew that they were not human eyes.

Was it because she was so beautiful that I made up the illusion that her eyes were glowing?

Roy got up from the beach in a panic and said thanks to the girl who saved him.

"Thank you for saving me! I am a foreigner in need of help. Can you tell me where I can get it-"

Before he finished speaking, Roy's eyes widened again.

Because at this time Roy finally discovered that the blue-eyed girl in front of him not only had an incredible beauty, but she was also very huge.

If the blue-eyed girl stood up, she must be a giant about ten meters tall.

"You are not...human..."

Seeing Roy's reaction and hearing Roy's words, the blue-eyed girl said with a teasing smile.

"Although I am not a human being, I am the savior who saved you. Human being! I am the daughter of Pontos [the sea], Metis [wisdom] from the sea, and the goddess of the sea who is in charge of wisdom. You are very lucky are saved by me and chosen by me.”

"Am I chosen by you?"

Roy couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Are you serious when you claim to be a goddess? Our world is a godless world - no! The appearance of a huge fantasy creature like you in front of me has broken the common sense that this is a godless world. Could it be that I...have come now? To another world? That’s why the locals I met just now wore ancient clothes and attacked me with wooden weapons..."

Realizing that he might come to another world, Roy's mind fell into chaos.

Crash--

Metis threw a ball of seawater at Roy.

After the cold sea water soaked his head, Roy forced himself to calm down and looked at Metis nervously.

"Female...goddess! Since you said you saved me...then you should have no ill intentions towards me! Can you tell me where this place is and how should I...survive here?"

"This is near the territory of the Athenian tribe! If you don't know how to survive, the task I give you can just point you to the future."

Metis said with a beautiful smile.

"Human! I saved you, so your life is now mine. You must do something for me to repay my life-saving grace - do you think I am right?"

After Roy nodded, Metis continued.

"The Athenian tribe living in this area is the strongest tribe on the Attica Peninsula. I hope that you will negotiate with the Athenian tribe as my priest, so that the Athenian tribe can regard me as its patron saint and help me ascend the throne of the patron saint. . As long as you can complete this task, you can survive as my priest and get my protection and help."

Athenian tribes…

Hearing the word Athens, Roy couldn't help but think of the famous city of Athens.

Thinking that he was not a sociable person, Roy couldn't help but said to Metis.

"Goddess, can I refuse your request?"

"No! You must complete this mission."

Metis said coldly with an unhappy expression.

"Human, I saved your life. If you refuse my mission, then I will take your life back."

"It seems that the purpose of saving me is to use me."

The heart of the goddess Metis is not as beautiful as her beauty. Roy looked at Metis' delicate and beautiful face with some disappointment and said.

"When I jumped into the sea just now, I was already prepared to die. Since you saved my life, I should repay your kindness. I will negotiate with the Athenian tribe and let the Athenian tribe regard you as its patron saint. ”

"very good!"

Metis showed a satisfied smile and extended her right index finger towards Roy.

As Metis' fingers touched Roy's forehead, a stream of divine power poured into Roy's body, making Roy feel like he was instantly reborn.

A stream of information also poured out of Roy's mind.

Loy.

Age: twenty years old

Blessed by gods: Blessing of Metis [Wisdom Improvement]

Strength Level: Hero [Hundred Enemies]

Seeing this information, Roy couldn't help but laugh.

"I am now a hero who can fight one against a hundred? Is this the increase in strength that the goddess's power brings to me?"

"One against a hundred——"

After hearing Roy's words, Metis looked down at Roy with emotionless eyes and said.

"Now you can't even fight one against one, let alone one against one hundred. Although I have given you divine protection and given you the potential to become a hero who can defeat one against one hundred, potential is only potential after all. "Whether you can transform your potential into real strength depends on yourself."

Metis' words were like a bucket of cold water poured on his forehead.

Roy said a little guilty.

"Goddess! Since I don't have the strength of a hero now, how can I prove to the people of the Athenian tribe that I am favored by a god?"

"You are my priest, and I will lend you part of my power, so that your eyes can release divine power to salt the creatures in your sight."

Metis pointed at a flying seabird in the distance and said.

"You can try it now, stare at it intently, and then shout [saltization]."

Roy nodded, then stared at the seabird and shouted in a low voice.

"Saline!"

The next moment!

Part of Roy's body's divine power was released from his eyes.

This divine power turned into blue divine light and enveloped the seabird, and the seabird immediately turned into a salt statue.

Immediately afterwards, the salt statue of the seabird fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"A miracle! What a miracle!"

Seeing this scene, Roy said happily.

"With this magical ability, I can convince the Athenian tribe."
