I was a priest in the city-state era

Philomela seemed to suddenly think of something and asked the soldier standing in the center of the hall.

"Brother Roy is in Egypt. Are there any other women around him?"

The soldier shook his head in confusion, because this was not a question he could answer casually.

Don't say that he doesn't know if there is another woman around Roy. Even if he knows that there is another woman around Roy, he doesn't dare to tell the truth at will.

Philomela got a satisfactory answer and immediately said with a smile.

"I knew brother Roy wouldn't like brown women in Egypt."

At this moment, a majestic and beautiful female voice sounded in the ears of Procne and Philomela.

"Procne! Philomela! Come to me."

Procne and Philomela looked at each other in surprise, and then they immediately got up and left the palace, coming to the temple square where the Metis statue was.

Because they had already heard that it was the voice of Metis, the patron saint of the city of Athens.

Temple Square.

Procne and Philomela came to the statue of Metis, and the statue of Metis immediately bloomed with divine light and turned into the goddess Metis herself.

Looking at the awed expressions on the faces of Procne and Philomela, Metis said with satisfaction.

"Procne! Philomela! I asked you to come here because I have something important to tell you. I want to take back Roy's identity as a priest and let him concentrate on completing the work of the king. The two of you will replace Roy and become Serving my highest priestess."

Hearing Metis's words, Procne couldn't help but frown and said.

"Goddess Metis! Brother Roy once said that he must have all the royal power and divine power in his hands to ensure that the royal power will not be interfered by divine power. You deprive brother Roy of his priesthood, which is not in line with brother Roy's wishes. ”

Philomela said in agreement.

"Sister is right, the goddess Metis should not deprive brother Roy of his priesthood."

"You two are such fools!"

Metis said with a faint smile.

"I don't want other people, but you to become my priests. Since you are Roy's women, you have the divine power. What's the difference between Roy and Roy? I just want you to share Roy's power. Don’t you want to work?”

Seeing the hesitant expressions of Procne and Philomela, Metis continued.

"And it will be of great benefit to you to become a priest who serves me. I will give you blessings and divine power. Your body will become more beautiful because of the divine power. And I allow you to become the daughter of God. You can Deify yourself as my adopted daughter, and even claim that you are my daughter and avatar. Becoming a goddess in the eyes of humans will make your status more noble, and Roy will definitely love you more."

After listening to the various benefits Metis said, Philomela said waveringly.

"Sister, what Goddess Metis said seems to be right. Anyway, we are Brother Roy's women. We will replace Brother Roy as the priests of Goddess Metis. It will not have any impact on Brother Roy, and we will also Become a more beautiful and noble goddess.”

Procne and Philomela did not realize that the goddess Metis spoke of was making them the clones of Metis.

Although this method can quickly deify them, it will also cause them to lose their independent identity.

As long as Metis wants to, he can turn them from clones into parts of Metis at any time.

According to Metis' plan, the queen who controls the royal and divine power in the city of Athens becomes Metis's clone, and Metis can take Loy away and take control of the Kingdom of Athens himself.

Procne hesitated for a while, and finally said to Metis.

"Goddess Metis, we are willing to be your priests."

"Very well, give me your hands."

Procne and Philomela each extended a hand to Metis, and Metis leaned down to hold their small hands with his own, and then injected two streams of divine power into their bodies.

The dazzling blue divine light immediately enveloped the bodies of Procne and Philomela, making them look like goddesses descending into the world.

Metis said with a proud smile while injecting divine power into their bodies.

"Procne! Philomela! From now on, you will be my daughters of the gods, but I am a virgin, so you are my daughters [clones] that are split directly from me. You can use the royal power to deify yourself into a goddess to obtain Godhead, agriculture is the most important in this era. Procne can be deified into the goddess of dew, and Philomela can be deified into the goddess of fields. When I absorb you, the goddess of dew and the goddess of fields will become one of the many gods I have. 1. But I am a benevolent goddess after all, so I will wait until you end your life as a human before letting you return to me as a clone."

Although Procne and Philomela could hear Metis' words, their consciousness seemed to be out of their control, and they were completely unable to have the idea of ​​resisting Metis.

Just like adoption, strangers who are not related by blood can become father and son or mother and daughter.

At this time, with the voluntary acceptance of Procne and Philomela, they have become the daughters [doppelgangers] born of Metis alone.

Port of Piraeus.

Chione was managing the port's trade as usual.

As the trade process at the port gradually became more formalized, many transactions no longer required Chione's personal participation, so Chione had more and more free time.

"Chione——"

"Who's calling me?"

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name. Kayone looked around alertly and found that the coast not far away was blooming with dazzling blue divine light.

Kayone walked over curiously and saw Amphitrite walking towards the shore on the sea.

After Amphitrite came to the beach and met Kayone face to face, she took the initiative to smile at Kayone.

"Dear Kayone, I am Amphitrite, the patron saint of Corinth."

Kyone asked puzzledly after hearing Amphitrite's voice, which was the voice that called her just now.

"Goddess Amphitrite, what is your purpose in calling me here?"

"I want you to be my priest."

Seeing Kayone's eyes widened in surprise, Amphitrite immediately explained.

"After my priest Sisyphus was killed by Roy, Roy did not arrange a new priest for me. I know that Roy does not want someone he cannot trust to hold the divine power in the Corinth region, so I want you to be my priest. You are Roy's woman, he should have no reason to doubt you, and it will be good for you to become my priest."

Kyone said with a serious expression.

"Since Roy doesn't want you to have a new priest, how can I become your priest without permission?"

"I will give you blessings and divine power, and I can also make you the daughter of God."

Amphitrite said with a smile.

"The divine power will make you more beautiful, and the identity of the daughter of God can make you deified into a goddess similar to the hero god, so you have no reason to refuse."

As soon as the voice fell, Amphitrite saw the dazzling divine light blooming from the Acropolis of Athens.

"Metis--"

Amphitrite murmured in disbelief.

"You actually did this--"
