I was a priest in the city-state era

Time passed by minute by minute.

Just when Roy felt that he not only had to live in the same room with Persephone alone, but also spent the night in a cave with Persephone, two familiar waves of divine power appeared outside the cave.

Persephone obviously felt the fluctuation of divine power and took the initiative to point her left hand at the boulder blocking the cave.

Under the control of Persephone, the boulder blocking the entrance of the cave sank into the ground, and Hera, Pandora, and Hestia appeared outside the cave as human girls.

At this time, the three goddesses became very embarrassed, and their clothes were all in tatters, which showed how fierce their battle was.

After Hestia took the lead into the cave, Persephone took the initiative to ask Hera.

"Hera, did you lose?"

Hera glared at Persephone with a dissatisfied expression, and then walked to the corner of the cave alone.

Pandora hugged Hestia from behind and said to Roy happily.

"My dear, thanks to you calling Hestia to help, this war is our victory."

Hera, who was standing alone in the corner, immediately said angrily.

"If it's a one-on-one fight, you will all be defeated by me."

For Roy, whether he is fighting alone or bullying a small number, the most important thing is to get a winning result.

After confirming that Hera lost the battle of gods, Roy said with a smile.

"Pandora, as a reward for you, I want to tell you that there is an iron mine in the territory of Donia City. With this iron mine, Donia City can become the most important city in Crete."

Then, Roy said to Hestia.

"Sister Hestia, as a reward for you, I will speed up my plan to regain the Argos region for you."

Hestia brought Pandora to Roy and said with a gentle smile.

"Dear brother, I should do these things for you."

After saying that, Hestia leaned forward and fell towards Roy with Pandora in tow.

Roy hurriedly stretched out his hands, held Hestia and Pandora's petite bodies in his arms, and then said full of doubts.

"Sister Hestia! Pandora! What's going on with you? Are you injured?"

Pandora explained with a bright smile.

"The two of us were not injured, but we almost exhausted our divine power during the battle. Hera's condition is the same as ours."

This battle between gods created a storm that enveloped the Sea of ​​Scylla. It was normal for Pandora and Hera to exhaust their divine power in this battle between gods.

But Hestia intervened in the god battle between Pandora and Hera in the middle, and she actually exhausted her divine power. It can be seen that the loss of the patron saint seat caused a huge gap in divine power between Hestia and Pandora and Hera, who had the patron saint seat. .

In fact, Roy's power was almost exhausted now, so he stood holding Hestia and Pandora for a while before Roy held them and sat down on a clean stone.

Seeing Roy's hands holding Hestia and Pandora, and Hestia and Pandora not actively rejecting Roy, Hera couldn't help but frown and said.

"You are so depraved that you are so close to a human man. It is because of your depravity that Hestia became a destitute wandering god, and Pandora was suppressed by Europa for hundreds of years."

Hestia immediately explained after hearing Hera's words.

"Hera, don't get me wrong. Roy and I have a very pure sister-sister relationship. Whether it's a human or other intelligent creature, it's normal for siblings to be close to each other. Of course, brother Roy and I can do the same. "

Seeing Hestia give a reasonable explanation for her relationship with Roy, Pandora immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

Because she really couldn't tell that she and Roy were an unmarried couple.

After hesitating for a moment, Pandora said guiltily.

"As a god with a long life, Roy is as young as a baby in our eyes. I also treat Roy as a younger brother."

Although Pandora's reaction was abnormal, Hera did not doubt her words.

After all, from common sense, it is impossible for a goddess to fall in love with a human being, just like a human man falling in love with a female ant.

Even if gods can become humans, gods and humans are two completely different creatures.

The gap between gods and humans is even greater than the gap between humans and ants.

"So I am a younger brother!"

Pandora actually described the relationship between the two as that of sister and brother. Roy withdrew his left hand from Pandora's waist, then hugged Hestia's waist with both arms, and said with his head lying in Hestia's arms.

"Sister Hestia, you are enough for me to be my sister."

"Don't act like a child!"

Hestia said with a smile as she gently stroked Roy's head with her two small hands.

"Although you humans are all like children compared to us gods, you are not a child among humans, but a king who rules a country."

Pandora saw that Roy was really angry, but she didn't change her mind because she didn't want to be an alien in the eyes of other goddesses.

Seeing Roy and Hestia getting close, Hera couldn't help but say.

"I really can't stand it anymore. Persephone, lend me your divine power, and I'll take you out of here."

After saying that, Hera took the initiative to walk up to Persephone.

"Hera, don't leave in a hurry."

Persephone advised Hera.

"You should know that the Kingdom of Athens is very powerful. Even if Pylos and Sparta form an alliance, they will not be able to fight against the Kingdom of Athens. If this war continues and the Kingdom of Athens wants to conquer Sparta, then I will protect myself. You can only choose neutrality. The war has not escalated yet, and I hope you can reach a settlement with Roy."

Hera looked at Roy with dissatisfied eyes and said.

"Just because the Kingdom of Athens is more powerful than the Spartan region, is it fair to me that I have to take the initiative to seek reconciliation? The Sea of ​​Thera is sandwiched between the Spartan region and Crete, and half of the Sea of ​​Thera It is a matter of course that the city of Donia can collect tolls in the Sea of ​​Sparta, why can’t the city of Sparta?”

fair--

From the perspective of an onlooker, half of the Sea of ​​Thera should indeed belong to the Spartan region.

Half of the tolls collected by the Donian Navy in the waters of Thera should also be given to the city of Sparta.

It's a pity that this world is not about fairness, but about strength.

Roy raised his head from Hestia's arms, looked at Hera and said.

"Goddess Hera! The city of Donia will no longer collect tolls in the surrounding waters, and the city of Sparta will also give up the practice of collecting tolls. Do you think this is fair?"

Hera nodded and said.

"This is only fair! When I return to the city of Sparta, I will send an oracle to the Spartan King Perieres to ask him to stop collecting tolls."

Roy continued.

"Goddess Hera! In order to establish friendly relations between the Kingdom of Athens and the Spartan region, Spartans can go to the city of Athens to purchase all commodities including salt and bronze weapons. The city of Athens will permanently exempt Spartans from taxes."

Hearing these words, Hera couldn't help but have a faint smile on her face.

"I accept your offer."
