I was a priest in the city-state era

In Roy's view, the possibility of Semiramis's rebellion in Uruk is not as high as the possibility of Andromeda's rebellion in Babylon.

The Amorites and the Sumerians had a blood feud that had accumulated for thousands of years, and it was impossible for the Sumerians to support Semiramis.

Andromeda was in Babylon, and it was possible that she had the support of the Amorites.

Because the Hyksos are a branch of the Amorites, Andromeda's ancestors were probably the Amorite kings hundreds of years ago.

After Roy handed over the city of Uruk to Semiramis with confidence, he took Andromeda back to the city of Babylon.

The city of Babylon.

Now this most important city in the Babylonian region is governed by Aries.

Roy took Andromeda back to the palace, and Aries immediately reported two important news to Roy.

The first important news was that Hantili, the brother-in-law of the Hittite king Mursili, launched a coup to kill Mursili and seize the throne.

The second important news is that the priest of the Light Tribe living on the Armory Peninsula wants to see Roy.

In the history of another world, Hantili killed Mursili to seize the throne after the Hittite Kingdom destroyed the Babylonian Kingdom - this is something Roy has known for a long time.

So Roy was not surprised at all when he heard the news that Han Tili had seized the throne.

What surprised Roy was the second news.

"The Priest of the Light Tribe who serves Almighty God wants to see me?"

After listening to Aries' words, Roy said curiously.

"Then I'll meet him and see what surprises he can bring me."

Under Roy's order, the priests of the Light Tribe quickly came to the palace hall.

This priest of the Light Clan is an old man wearing a white cotton robe.

He walked to the center of the hall, bowed his head to Roy respectfully and said.

"Your Majesty, the great emperor, servant of Almighty God, thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet. I ask to see your Majesty to tell him that Almighty God is the greatest god and the only true God among the gods. Your Majesty can only surrender to Almighty God. , can you become the greatest king in the world and enter heaven after death to become an archangel beside Almighty God.”

“You said you want me to convert to Almighty God?”

Roy couldn't help but sneered.

"Priest of the Almighty God! Since your Almighty God is omnipotent, why doesn't he let you people of light conquer the world, and then be regarded by you people of light as the king of the gods of the entire world?"

The Priest of the Light Tribe said without any hesitation.

"There is no doubt about the omnipotence of Almighty God. We, the people of light, cannot conquer other countries because human beings are born with original sin, and we, the people of light, are no exception. Your Majesty, the Emperor, is the son of God who is favored by Almighty God. Even if you are now If you don’t take refuge in Almighty God, Almighty God will not be stingy in favoring you.”

"you--"

Roy looked at the priest of the Light Tribe with pity and said.

"It seems that you are not only deceiving others with lies, but you also believe these lies. But I do not believe that human beings are born with original sin, and no one should be enslaved and tortured by others when they are born, so my Athens The empire is a country where everyone is equal. The teachings of your people of light fool the civilians into believing that they are born guilty, and being bullied, tortured, exploited and abused is all to pay for their original sins, just like the East. Just like the Dog Cult of [Depose All Schools and Respect the Dog Cult], the teachings of your Guangming Tribe will definitely be loved by the rulers.”

The priest of the Light Tribe said with his eyes widened in shock.

"Since Your Majesty can understand that our teachings are what Your Majesty needs as a ruler, then why do you-"

"Because I'm different from other rulers!"

Roy said firmly.

"I don't need your teachings of the Light Clan and the Dog Clan to tame the ignorant people. What I want is that everyone in the Athenian Empire is a citizen who makes their own decisions and dares to resist any injustice. Only in the Athenian Empire everyone is an imperial citizen, and in the Athenian Empire It will not become a decadent country that attacks domestically and is servile to others. A country is not good to its own people. No matter how it flatters other countries, it is impossible to gain the respect of other countries. Only the citizens of Athens can strive for self-improvement. Only then could the Athenian Empire remain prosperous and strong.”

"Aren't you worried-"

The priest of the Light Tribe looked at Roy in disbelief and said.

"Aren't you worried that the Athenians, who have not received the teachings of domestication, will overthrow your descendants?"

"The Athenians have become domesticated stupid people. I really don't have to worry about internal rebellion in the Athenian Empire. But if the Athenian Empire becomes a domesticated dog country, the backward and weak barbarians around it will destroy the Athenian Empire. After all, no matter how big the dog is, it will not survive The ability is not as good as that of a real beast.”

"It seems I can't convince you."

"Not only are you unable to convince me, you will also be unable to convince the future emperors of Athens. I will issue an imperial order as the founding emperor of the Athens Empire. If the future emperors of Athens accept this teaching of taming the ignorant people, everyone in the Athens Empire will have this kind of teaching. The right and duty of a foolish king to kill.”

Seeing the priest of the Light Tribe blushing with anger, Roy ordered Aries again.

"Aries! Gilgamesh said that he will destroy the Kingdom of Elam, the Kingdom of Assyria, and the Kingdom of Hurrit. Go and conquer the Amorites and the Light Tribe on the Amorian Peninsula, and make the Amorites give up their war on Marduk [Zeus]. Worship, let the people of light give up worshiping Almighty God.”

"You crazy tyrant!"

The priest of the Light Tribe pointed at Roy angrily and said.

"Lucifer, bright star, son of the morning, why did you fall from heaven? Why did you, who conquered the nations, be cut down to the earth? You said in your heart - I will ascend to heaven, I will be exalted My throne is above the stars of God. I will sit on the mountain of gathering, in the uttermost parts of the north. I will ascend above the high clouds, and I will be like the Most High. But you will descend into the pit of hell. Deep."

In the Latin language, Lucifer means bright star.

In other words, the bright star is Lucifer.

Hearing the priests of the Light tribe call themselves the Bright Star and the Son of the Morning, Roy stood up from the throne angrily and said.

"How dare you say that I am the son of Inanna and curse me to fall into the underworld after death!"

In the history of another world, these words spoken by the priests of the tribe of Light were addressed to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

Nebuchadnezzar, who succeeded the throne around 600 BC, not only conquered the Mesopotamia, but also defeated the Kingdom of Egypt and conquered the Phoenician region - this was his great achievement in defeating other countries.

The people of light who served Almighty God were not only conquered by Nebuchadnezzar, but were also demoted as slaves to build the Gate of Ishtar, the Hanging Gardens, the Tower of Babel and other buildings.

In order to flatter Nebuchadnezzar, the priests of the tribe of light called the powerful Babylonian kingdom the kingdom of heaven on earth, and called Nebuchadnezzar the deputy king of the kingdom of heaven who ruled the heaven on earth in place of Almighty God.

After Nebuchadnezzar dismissed the flattery, the priests of the Light tribe began to slander Nebuchadnezzar.

Bright Star, Son of the Morning—

The bright star of the morning is Venus.

Nebuchadnezzar was called the son of Inanna, the goddess of Venus, by the priests of the Light race because he built the Gate of Ishtar.
