I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 5 I come from the far east

Although she is over thirty years old, Pandion's wife still maintains her beauty and looks like a young woman in her twenties.

Roy smiled and nodded to Pandion's wife, then looked at the three children of the Pandion couple.

Their son was a handsome boy about eighteen years old, wearing simple linen clothes like his father Pandion. At this time, he was also looking at Roy, a foreigner, with curious eyes.

Their eldest daughter is a beautiful girl about sixteen years old. Like her mother, she wears a dress made of white cotton and a purple shawl on her shoulders.

Their youngest daughter, about fifteen years old, was wearing the same clothes as her sister, with a red shawl draped over her shoulders.

The two beautiful girls not only inherited their mother's beauty, but they were also better than the blue. Standing together, they looked like two beautiful elves.

As Roy looked at the two girls, his younger sister whispered to his older sister.

"Sister! Should we cover our faces in front of strangers?"

After saying that, he pulled up the shawl on his shoulders to cover his shy little face.

The elder sister patted her younger sister's little hand and said.

"The strangers have seen our faces, and now it is too late to hide them."

The two girls didn't seem to want their faces to be seen by the strange man. Roy lowered his head proactively and admired the two girls' beautiful ankles without shoes under their long skirts.

At this time, Roy noticed that Pandion's stone house not only had polished slate indoor floors, but also polished slate in the yard, so none of Pandion's family members wore shoes.

"Dear wife!"

Pandion, standing next to Roy, gave instructions to his beautiful wife.

"The soldiers who are patrolling with me today must be given more food as a reward. Priest Luo is my most distinguished guest. I asked the servants to slaughter a cow and bring out my treasured wine. I will entertain Luo with the highest etiquette. Yi Priest.”

After ordering his wife, Pandion walked to a stone bench and sat down. Two young and beautiful maids immediately knelt beside Pandion and helped him take off his straw sandals.

Pandion walked barefoot to his family and said with a smile when he saw Roy still standing there.

"Priest Roy! Take off your shoes and enter the room quickly!"

"oh!"

Roy followed Pandion's example and walked to the stone bench and sat down. Just when Roy was about to take off his shoes, the two maids from before knelt beside Roy again and were about to help Roy take off his shoes.

Roy hurriedly pushed their hands away and said.

"Don't be like this, I don't need your service."

The two maids failed to complete the task of taking off the guests' shoes, with uneasy expressions on their faces and still kneeling beside Roy.

It wasn't until Roy took off his sneakers that the two maids stood up and left holding Roy's shoes.

Although Roy took off his shoes, he still had socks on his feet.

When Roy walked to Pandion, Pandion's wife couldn't help but ask.

"Dear Priest Roy, what are you wearing on your feet? It looks like... a kind of clothing made of cotton..."

"Madam, you have such good taste. I am indeed wearing cotton socks."

Roy pulled up his pants and introduced.

"Socks are a kind of clothing worn on the feet to protect the feet from insects or small animals. The length of the socks can cover the ankles or the knees. Young and beautiful girls wear socks that cover the knees Stockings will make them look more beautiful and attractive.”

After speaking, Roy looked at Pandion's two daughters.

If these two lovely and beautiful girls like elves are seduced by their own words, the way they look in stockings is worth looking forward to.

Seeing Roy staring at his daughters, Pandion's wife said with an unhappy expression.

"Can't an old woman like me wear the stockings you mentioned?"

Roy said hurriedly.

"Of course a beautiful woman like Madam can also wear stockings, and she will be very charming, which can increase the relationship between Madam and Chief Pandion as a couple."

After Pandion's wife showed a satisfied smile, Pandion immediately pulled Roy into the stone house.

In the spacious hall of the stone house, there are several stone tables for eating.

Pandion brought Roy to sit down at the stone table in the middle. After Pandion's son and two daughters followed him and sat down beside him, Pandion said to Roy.

"Priest Roy! Let me introduce you now. This is my eldest son Erechtheus, and these are my two daughters Procne and Philomela."

Roy looked at the three siblings and said.

"Prince Erechtheus! Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! I am Roy, the priest who serves Metis, the goddess of wisdom. I am glad to meet you."

"Hahahaha……"

Hearing Roy call herself a princess, Philomela couldn't help but smile.

"You think my sister and I are princesses, and you think your brother is a prince?"

Roy said with a smile.

"The Athenian tribe with a population of 5,000 is equivalent to a small or medium-sized city-state. As the noble son and daughter of the leader of Pandion, your status is indeed equivalent to that of a prince and princess."

"What a eloquent foreigner."

Erechtheus commented expressionlessly.

At this moment, a group of maids brought clay pots containing wine and bread and placed them on the stone table in front of Roy.

The drinking utensil is also a pottery cup with a large mouth.

After the maids filled the clay cups with wine, Pandion picked up a glass of wine and said.

"Priest Roy! It will take some time for my servants to prepare the roast meat and oatmeal. Let's drink wine and eat bread first!"

"As a guest, I will follow the host's arrangement."

After that, Roy picked up the ceramic cup and drank the wine.

Although Roy was not very hungry now, his throat was indeed a little dry.

As Roy drank cup after cup of wine, he looked drunk, and Pandion suddenly asked.

"Priest Roy! Can you tell us where you are from and what is your purpose in coming to our Athens tribe?"

"East... I am from the East..."

Roy pointed to the East and said.

"I come from the far east, the far east. It is farther east than the Phoenician region ruled by the Phoenicians and the Mesopotamian region ruled by the Babylonians. My purpose in coming to the Athenian tribe is to persuade you to worship the goddess of wisdom and let the great goddess of wisdom Metis become the patron saint of the Athenian tribe."

"The east farther than the Phoenician region and the Mesopotamian region... could it be the legendary Indian region?"

Even if Pandion was the leader of the Athenian tribe, he could not imagine that the east that Roy was talking about was farther away than the legendary Indian region.

After hearing Roy say that the Athenian tribe should worship the goddess of wisdom, Erechtheus asked Pandion.

"Father! Should we accept the gods brought by outsiders?"

Pandion said with a faint smile.

"Letting a real god become the patron saint of the Athenian tribe may help our Athenian tribe develop better."
