I was a priest in the city-state era

Accompanied by Ramses II, Roy arrived at the center of Avaris smoothly and entered the brightly lit palace.

When Roy and Ramses II passed through the palace gate, they saw hundreds of oil lamps burning olive oil lighting the road leading from the palace courtyard to the palace hall, and a dozen palace maids patrolling back and forth. Add olive oil to your oil lamp.

The two walked into the palace hall through the luxurious road burning olive oil. Roy saw the splendid hall decorated with gold ornaments and golden copperware like a palace of gods. Deep in the hall was an inscription of the Egyptian king sitting on a golden throne. Fusi, he wore a golden crown on his head and a golden mask on his face.

Perhaps this golden mask is the golden mask of Agamemnon that became a famous cultural relic in another world.

This golden mask has Agamemnon in its name, but it actually has nothing to do with Agamemnon.

Because the time of Agamemnon is 1,200 BC, the time of the Golden Mask is at least 1,500 BC.

Wearing a golden mask to hide his face and expression, Cepheus looks like a majestic god sitting on a throne.

On the left and right sides of the hall were not only the noble men of Avaris, but also Perseus and Minos whom Roy knew. They were obviously mercenaries recruited by Cepheus for food.

What made Roy couldn't help but frown was that there were many young and beautiful women in the hall.

Some of these women are white beauties with fair skin, some are yellow beauties with yellow skin, some are brown beauties with brown skin, and some are black beauties with dark skin.

The beauties all gathered in small groups around the guests of Cepheus, and played with them in an unsightly manner.

When they saw Roy and Ramses II entering the hall, two beauties immediately pounced on Roy and Ramses II, with flattering smiles on their faces.

Roy said expressionlessly as he pushed away the woman who rushed towards him.

"Don't come near me, go serve other men!"

After saying that, Roy strode to the center of the hall, looked at the Egyptian King Cefus on the throne and said.

"Cephus, King of Egypt! I am Loy, King of Athens, and I have come to see you."

Seeing that Roy actually talked to Cefus as an equal, the Hyksos nobles and Egyptian nobles in the hall criticized Roy one after another.

"You are just the king of a small city-state. How dare you speak like this to the ruler of all Egypt."

"His Majesty Cepus is the son of Seth [Zeus], ​​the great king of gods, and you are only a human being."

"Hurry up and bow your head to see Your Majesty."

Even if the Egyptian Kingdom ruled by Cepheus is now divided into four parts of the world, the territory controlled by the Hyksos can still be more than four times that of the Kingdom of Athens.

So compared with Cefus, Roy can really only be regarded as the king of a small country.

After the Hyksos nobles and Egyptian nobles accused Roy and showed their loyalty to Cephes, Cephes on the golden throne raised his right hand and spoke in a calm tone.

"Greece is a region with backward civilization after all. Please forgive it. Young man, on behalf of the Kingdom of Egypt, I welcome your arrival. Just sit with Perseus and Minos!"

Seeing Cefus treating him like an elder towards a junior, Roy immediately frowned and said.

"Your Majesty Cepus, I have more important things to tell you than enjoying the banquet as a guest."

Cepheus responded in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"Night is the time to enjoy the banquet. No matter what you have to do, you should wait until tomorrow."

The Hyksos are so greedy for enjoyment——

No wonder, in just over a hundred years, the Hyksos went from dominating all of Egypt to being conquered by the southern Egyptians.

Just when Roy was about to speak, a girl wearing a white cotton dress and gold ornaments on her hands, feet and neck, who looked as dazzling as a goddess, entered the hall from the back door and walked towards Cepheus on the golden throne.

Seeing this golden girl who was as noble and beautiful as a goddess, Roy couldn't help but fell into a daze.

This girl is about seventeen years old. Although she is a black-haired West Asian, she has skin like snow.

The girl's face is delicate, small, cute and beautiful, like a perfect doll. Her figure is slender and moving, her waist tightly tied by a gold belt can be held in one hand, and her eyes as black as the night sky have star-like light spots.

She was beautiful enough to be praised as a goddess—or even more beautiful than a goddess.

Seeing the girl walking up to Cefus and whispering, Roy immediately held his breath nervously to prevent his breathing from disturbing the girl and Cefus.

After the girl finished whispering to Cefus and left the hall, Roy also guessed her identity.

Andromeda - the only daughter of King Cephes of Egypt.

It is said that Andromeda is more beautiful than the goddess, so Perseus regards her as a marriage target. Roy originally did not believe it.

Because in Roy's view, Perseus wanted to marry Andromeda just to become the heir to the throne of Cepheus.

Now Roy finally believed that the legend of Andromeda was not exaggerated in any way.

After watching Andromeda leave, Roy hesitated for a moment and then decided to accept Cefus' arrangement for him.

Although Roy originally wanted to use his identity as the king of Athens to talk to the Egyptian king Cefus on an equal footing, according to his age, Cefus can indeed be regarded as Roy's elder.

Your Majesty Cepus, from the first moment I saw your daughter, I recognized you as an elder——

After saying this silently in his heart, Roy walked to Perseus and Minos.

"Roy!"

Perseus said very dissatisfiedly as soon as Roy sat down.

"Were you staring at Andromeda just now? I must tell you that Andromeda will be my wife, so you can't stare at her rudely anymore."

Roy laughed and teased.

"Perseus, has His Majesty Cepheus made an engagement for you and Princess Andromeda?"

"No!"

Perseus frowned and said.

"But I am the suitor who has the best chance of marrying Andromeda. Except for you, the King of Athens, no other suitor is as good as me. You must remember that you are already the son-in-law of my stepfather Pandion, and you already have my stepsisters Procne and Philomela by your side. If you dare to have any improper thoughts about Andromeda, I will immediately send an envoy to Athens to let Procne and Philomela know that you betrayed them."

In order to prevent himself from becoming his love rival, Perseus was willing to recognize Pandion as his stepfather and use Procne and Philomela to intimidate himself.

Roy said expressionlessly.

"Don't worry, women will only affect the speed at which I increase the territory of the Kingdom of Athens. I am not interested in women now."

After Roy and Perseus finished their conversation, Roy looked around and saw a young man sitting next to Minos who was dressed strangely and looked neither like a Hyksos nor an Egyptian.

Looking at the young man who was different from others, Roy couldn't help asking.

"Strange friend, who are you?"

"I am John, the leader of the Light Clan."

The young man said to Roy with a smile.

"We of the Light Clan serve the omnipotent Almighty God, and we only believe in Almighty God. We believe that other gods are false gods."
