I was a priest in the city-state era

As the saying goes, people under the roof have to bow their heads.

If the Argives wanted to survive in the Kingdom of Athens, they had to accept Loy's request.

Yi'e thought that she and her uncle Argolid had wandered and migrated with five hundred tribesmen, and had lived a precarious life for five years. Now they had finally found a stable foothold, and finally bowed their heads to Roy and said.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens! Gods usually only grant blessings and divine power to priests who serve themselves, or people who have made great contributions to themselves and whose contributions are no less than those of the priests. If your Majesty can make great contributions to the goddess Hestia , I am willing to give up my identity as a priest and give you the blessings and divine power of the goddess Hestia. If your majesty does not want to contribute to the goddess Hestia, we can only move to another place."

Of course, Roy would not be naive enough to think that he could do anything with nothing.

So after listening to Yi'e's words, Roy said with a serious expression.

"Princess Io, I can't make any contribution to the goddess Hestia now. But I can guarantee that when I conquer the Argos region in the future, I will let the goddess Hestia become the guardian of Argos again. god."

Although Roy's promise was just a blank check, Yi'e still nodded and said.

"If Your Majesty can help the goddess Hestia return to the Argos region and become the patron saint, this contribution will be enough for the goddess Hestia to grant you blessings and divine power. I will communicate with the goddess Hestia as soon as possible to let her Goddess Hestia bestows upon you blessings and divine power."

How soon is as soon as possible?

Roy frowned and asked Yi'e.

"Princess Io, can't you communicate with the goddess Hestia now and ask the goddess to bestow blessings and divine power on me?"

Yi'e shook her head and said.

"Goddess Hestia's loss of the patron saint's throne has dealt a huge blow to her spirit. Now it is difficult for me to communicate with Goddess Hestia, so you need to wait for a few days."

A god losing his identity and throne as a patron is like a human being losing his identity and throne as a king.

Roy didn't know how serious the mental blow would be to others if they lost their identity as king and their throne.

But Roy knew that he had changed from the king of Athens to a civilian with nothing, and the mental shock was enough to drive him crazy.

Seeing that Yi'e had not deceived him, Roy said disappointedly.

"Then I will go back to the city of Athens first and wait for your good news! Now I declare as the king of Athens that you will be the legal residents of the Eleusis area from now on. This is the village of Eleusis where you live."

After saying that, Roy drank the wine in front of him and ate the white bread in front of him, enjoying the host's hospitality.

After Roy and Pallas stood up, Argolid stood up and said.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, my servant is roasting a sheep for you. You cannot leave now."

"If I don't leave, I won't be able to return to the city of Athens before nightfall."

Roy said with a joking smile.

"The environment here is too bad and cannot be compared to my palace. The most important thing is that I need someone to be my real pillow every night when I sleep. Does Princess Yi'e want to sleep with me tonight?"

Roy's words left Io and Argolid speechless.

Because Roy's words can be regarded as Roy's humiliation to Yi'e.

Seeing the reactions of Io and Argolid, Roy also understood that he should not easily say that he asked Io to sleep with him.

Although Io is now a destitute and subjugated princess, she is after all the daughter of King Inachus of Argos and has the pride and self-esteem of being a royal princess.

But Lowe wasn't planning on apologizing.

After all, it is the Argives who seek help from Roy, not Roy who wants help from the Argives.

Not to mention Roy humiliating Yi'e with words, even if Roy humiliated Yi'e with body, Yi'e could only choose to endure it.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"

Yi'e and Roy looked at each other and said with a forced smile on their faces.

"I believe that Your Majesty is a person who knows etiquette, so you know how to propose to an unmarried girl before you can sleep with an unmarried girl like me."

This is a soft nail for Roy.

But it also implies that Roy can get Yi'e as long as he proposes to Yi'e.

Whether it is to help Hestia regain the throne of the patron saint of Argos, to lead the Argos people back to the Argos region, or to avenge her father Inachus, Io has a reason. Marry the powerful King of Athens.

It's a pity that Roy didn't fall in love with the beautiful Yi'e at first sight - he lusted after her body the first time they met.

"Princess Yi'e, what I just said was indeed a joke. There are too many girls around me now. If I provoke other girls, they will definitely be sad."

After saying that, Roy turned around and left coolly.

When night falls.

Loy and Pallas rode back to Athens.

Roy rode his horse through the gate of the Acropolis and saw the statue of Metis in the temple square blooming with divine light. It was obviously the goddess Metis coming again.

Metis chose to arrive when Roy returned to the Acropolis, obviously coming to find Roy again.

So without waiting for Metis to call, Roy took the initiative to ride his horse to the temple square.

Temple Square.

Metis himself stood in the square instead of the statue. Unfortunately, only Roy could see this scene.

In the eyes of others, it was still the statue of Metis standing in the center of the Temple Square.

Seeing Roy riding in front of him, Metis asked Roy loudly with an angry expression.

"Loy! What on earth do you want to do? Since you found out that the Argives brought Hestia to my territory, why didn't you drive Hestia away? In my territory, I do not allow the third Two gods exist. I believe you will not allow a second king to exist in the territory of the Kingdom of Athens."

Just like a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, a lion territory can only have one lion king.

Now that a second god appeared in Metis' territory, her reaction was exactly what Roy had expected.

Looking at Metis questioning him, Roy explained calmly.

"Metis, I did not drive away Hestia because the Argives are not a threat to me, and Hestia is not a threat to you."

"Hestia's very existence is a threat to me."

Metis said, glaring at Roy suspiciously.

"Now because of Hestia's existence, I am no longer the only god in this land. You deliberately didn't drive Hestia away. Could it be that you wanted her to replace me?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"Goddess Metis, if I want another goddess to replace you, I can definitely make the goddess Mnemosyne the patron saint of Thebes, Eubia Island, and the Attica Peninsula, or I can make Amphi The goddess Trite became the patron saint of the Corinth region and the Attica Peninsula. There is no need to wait for the goddess Hestia to appear. I am your priest, so you don’t trust me?”

"I rejected your advances. You must be very dissatisfied with me."

Metis said expressionlessly.

"As the goddess of wisdom, do you think I can't understand your thoughts?"
