I was a priest in the city-state era

Roy wanted to become a household hero in the Athenian Empire and let three-year-olds know Roy's heroic deeds. Even if he wrote a book "The Legend of the King of Athens" and distributed it for free to more than nine million Athenians, he would not be able to satisfy him in a short time. Roy's request.

Because almost all of the more than nine million people in the Athenian Empire were illiterate.

If Roy wants to deify himself, the easiest and fastest way is to perform opera.

Late May.

A sunny day.

Twenty thousand residents of the city of Athens were summoned to the Royal Opera House of Athens to watch the first act of "The Legend of the King of Athens".

As the protagonist of [Legend of the King of Athens], Roy also brought Procne, Philomela and Nefertiti to the best seat in the audience.

After 20,000 spectators filled the auditorium, in the ocean set arranged by the crew, a black-haired boy wearing a mask slowly walked from the east of the ocean, talking as he walked.

"In the far east, there is a prosperous Chinese continent, where there are also ethnic groups who worship the gods. In the south of the Chinese continent, there is a country that worships the sun god. That is my hometown. I am a royal family of the Kingdom of the Sun and the successor to the sun. A man of divine blood. Because of the war between the powerful Xia Kingdom and the powerful Shang Kingdom, I, as a distant relative of King Jie of Xia, was persecuted by King Shang and had to leave my hometown and come to the distant world of the Aegean Sea. "

After listening to the black-haired boy's self-introduction, Nefertiti asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, why does the King of Athens who plays you wear a mask?"

"Not just the king of Athens, but everyone in the play wears a mask."

Roy explained with a smile.

"This is done to prevent some people with insufficient intelligence from worshiping opera singers as idols."

"Is the self-introduction of the King of Athens true? Your Majesty is a royal family from the far east, a noble god who inherits the bloodline of the Sun God?"

"It may not have been true before, but in future history and mythology, I will be a noble god-man who inherits the blood of the Sun God. So in the future, I will inherit the power of my great ancestors and become the only Sun God in the Athenian Empire."

At this moment, as the curtain changed, the King of Athens landed at the port of Piraeus and met Pandion, the leader of the Athenian tribe.

Impressed by the temperament and talent of the King of Athens, Pandion immediately brought the King of Athens back to the Athenian tribe.

After Pandion's family appeared, [Procne] and [Philomela], who were wearing masks, fell in love with King Loy of Athens at first sight. The two sisters whispered [loudly] about their love for the King of Athens.

Seeing this scene, Philomela, as the person involved, couldn't help but ask Roy.

"Brother Roy, did my sister and I fall in love with you at first sight when we first saw you?"

"Didn't you and Procne fall in love with me at first sight?"

Roy showed a joking smile and said to Procne.

"Procne, didn't you fall in love with me at first sight?"

Procne rolled her eyes at Roy, then smiled.

"Brother Roy is right. The first time I saw you, I fell deeply in love with you."

Hearing Procne's answer, Roy laughed and said.

"Philomela, it doesn't matter what the facts are. Because in future history and mythology, it will be recorded that Procne and Philomela fell in love with their future husbands at the first sight of King Loy of Athens."

Philomela frowned and said.

"Although as Brother Roy's wife, I don't mind being thought that I fell in love with Brother Roy at first sight, but it doesn't feel good to deceive others like this!"

At this time, the curtain changes, and the King of Athens proposes to Pandion that the Athenian tribe should worship the goddess Metis as its patron saint.

Seeing this scene, Roy reminded Procne.

"Good sister, it's your turn now."

Metis was the first goddess worshiped by the Athenian Empire.

For ordinary people to play the role of the goddess Metis is undoubtedly a serious crime of blasphemy against the goddess.

Therefore, the only people who can play the role of the goddess Metis are the priestesses who serve the goddess Metis or the royal family of Athens.

Procne is both an Athenian royal and a priestess of the goddess Metis, so she is a suitable candidate to play the goddess Metis.

On the Athenian coast created by the curtain, the King of Athens and Pandion prayed for the arrival of the goddess Metis.

Under the wide-eyed gaze of 20,000 spectators, Procne, wearing golden strappy sandals and holding a golden war spear, stepped onto the stage on a seawater curtain.

Nefertiti said in surprise when she saw the King of Athens and Pandion worshiping Procne as the goddess Metis.

"Your Majesty, the goddess Metis played by Sister Procne is not wearing a mask. Will she be regarded as the goddess Metis?"

"There's nothing wrong with Procne being worshiped as the incarnation of the goddess Metis."

Roy said with a smile.

"As the first queen of the Emperor of Athens, Procne will definitely be deified into a goddess in the future. She is regarded as the incarnation of the goddess Metis. The only negative impact is that she will become a subordinate god of the goddess Metis. "

Immediately after the first act of the Legend of the Kings of Athens ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

At this moment, Roy jumped onto the stage and held Procne, the goddess Metis in the eyes of the audience, in his arms with both hands.

Seeing this scene, the audience instinctively reacted that Roy was blaspheming the goddess.

Then she realized that Procne was just playing the role of the goddess Metis.

"Fellow Athenians, I am your Emperor Loy."

Roy held Procne, the goddess Metis in the eyes of the audience, and said loudly with a smile.

"I want to tell you that I don't like war."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Hearing Roy's words, the audience couldn't help laughing.

Because as long as you understand Roy's deeds, you will know that Roy is either starting a war or on his way to the battlefield.

Loy itself is synonymous with war.

Roy, who is synonymous with war, actually said that he does not like war. This is really a big joke.

Seeing that the audience were all laughing at his joke, Roy continued.

"Although I don't like war, I never run away from it. Because I want to protect my wife and every Athenian, I must defeat the enemy on the battlefield. Athenian men! If you are like me, you have to go to the battlefield for protection. Family members and compatriots, if you want to protect the Athenian Empire, then actively sign up to join the Royal Navy and Army of the Athenian Empire. The Athenian Empire will give you all the benefits of a citizen family, and the Athenian royal family will provide you with rewards and pensions to ensure that your sacrifices will not be ignored. Defiled. If you are disabled on the battlefield, the Athenian royal family will also arrange for you to become security guards and maintain law and order in your hometown."

This was not just a recruitment advertisement for Roy, but also a way of ingraining an idea in the Athenians.

All remuneration for Athenian soldiers was provided by the Athenian royal family.

In other words, Athenian soldiers were all private soldiers of the Athenian royal family.

Since the Royal Army of Athens and the Royal Navy of Athens are both private armies of the Athenian royal family, they will certainly not be incited to rebel by others.

The emperor himself advertised it, the Athenians in the audience said.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I will sign up to join the army tomorrow."

"I'm going to get my oldest son to sign up."

"When my wife gives birth to my child, I will sign up."
