I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 12 Procne and Philomela

Roy's idea of ​​inventing an invention obviously did not attract Pandion's attention.

Hearing Pandion's perfunctory words, Roy could only explain.

"Pandion leader! I need a lot of materials for experiments before I can create my invention. So I hope you can give me permission to use various materials from the Athenian tribe."

Hearing Roy's request, Pandion frowned and said.

"The authority to call supplies in the Athens tribe can only be in the hands of the leader and the leader's wife. Priest Loi! I can give the authority to call supplies to my daughter Procne, but I can't give you the authority directly. "

The authority to call materials is undoubtedly one of the important authorities of the Athenian tribe.

Now Roy has no intention of competing with Pandion for the dominion of the Athens tribe. Hearing Pandion's decision, Roy agreed.

"Pandion leader! The important authority to call supplies really shouldn't be given to a person like me who has just joined the Athens tribe. Then you will give the authority to call supplies to Princess Procne, and then I will apply to Princess Procne for the use of supplies."

After Roy and Pandion reached an agreement, Pandion took his wife and left the temple of Metis.

Procne and Philomela, as trainee priestesses serving the goddess, entered the stone house of the Temple of Metis with Roy.

The only stone house in the Temple of Metis, not only has a hall-like space, but also has stone beds and stone tables.

Philomela took Procne to the stone bed and sat down, then asked Roy with her big beautiful eyes blinking.

"Priest Loi! As apprentice priestesses, how should we serve Goddess Metis?"

It was also the first time for Roy to serve as a priest, so he didn't understand the priest's work at all.

Hearing Philomela's question, Roy leaned against the wall and said.

"Princess Philomela! Goddess Metis doesn't care about singing the goddess or offering sacrifices to the goddess. Goddess Metis cares about how to develop the Athenian tribe. So the job of you as apprentice priestesses is Assist me to complete the task I entrusted to you."

"In other words, completing the task given to us by Priest Loy is our job as apprentice priestesses?"

Procne blushed shyly and said hesitantly.

"Are you going to use the authority of the priest... to make us sisters do something that shouldn't be done?"

Uh--

What's going on in your little head?
Girls in this era are too precocious.

Philomela was obviously much simpler than her sister Procne. She looked at Roy in a daze, obviously not understanding Procne's meaning.

Perhaps elsewhere, the novice priestess who dedicated herself to the deity was actually devoted to the service of the priest in charge of the temple.

But Roy wasn't dazzled by his authority as a priest.

If Roy did something wrong to Procne and Philomela, Roy had no doubt that Pandion and Erechtheus would kill him.

So don't say that Roy has no idea, even if Roy really has an idea, Roy will not risk his life to take action against Procne and Philomela.

"Princess Procne! Although I am also a man, I just treat you and Princess Philomela as younger sisters, and I already have a girl I like."

While speaking, the unbelievably beautiful face and figure of the goddess Metis emerged in Roy's mind.

Although Procne and Philomela are a pair of lovely and beautiful sisters like elves, compared with the goddess, their beauty and figure are really inferior.

"As a priest serving the goddess Metis, I sincerely want to dedicate my body and mind to the goddess."

As soon as Roy finished speaking, someone knocked on the wooden door of the stone house.

Roy immediately looked at the wooden door and said.

"come in!"

As the wooden door of the stone house opened, six young male servants and six young and beautiful maids walked in.

Roy recognized at a glance that these six male servants and six female servants were all servants of Pandion's family.

"He actually gave me six beautiful maids. This is because Chief Pandion doesn't want me to attack his daughters, and wants me to take these six beautiful maids as targets?"

Seeing his twelve servants coming, Procne immediately ordered them.

"You guys came at the right time. Hurry up and tidy up this stone house, and then spread hay and woolen blankets on the stone bed, so that Priest Loi can sleep well tonight. The wooden house next to the stone house is the room where you all sleep together. After tidying up the stone house, go to tidy up your wooden house."

Seeing that Procne ordered the servants like a hostess, Roy couldn't help but praised with a smile.

"Princess Procne! It seems that you are a good wife who can manage the house. Any man who marries you in the future will be blessed by the gods. But I think the most important thing now is not to tidy up the room, but to invent candles and Toothpaste. I hope you can use the authority to bring the materials such as animal fat and cotton thread that these servants found for making candles, and materials such as salt and willow branches for making toothpaste. If there is still time left after finding the materials I mentioned, then Get some bark, broken linen, old fishing nets and other materials needed for papermaking."

Hearing what Roy said, Procne couldn't help but froze for a moment.

After all, as the noble daughter of the leader Pandion, there is no third man who can command her except her father Pandion and brother Erechtheus.

Normally, only the man who will become her husband in the future will be the third man who can command her.

Procne quickly adjusted his mentality, bowed his head and said to Roy.

"I immediately took the servants to find these materials."

After speaking, Procne got up and walked towards the door.

"Sister, I'll go too!"

Philomela got up and caught up with her sister and said.

"Usually we are locked at home by our mother to weave, and now we can have fun."

Procne covered her face with the shawl as a veil, and said while taking Philomela's shawl to cover her face.

"Even without my mother, I won't let you mess around. If you want to go out with me, you have to cover your face with a veil and don't talk to men outside."

Thinking that after Procne and Philomela left with their servants, only himself was left in the temple, Roy walked up to the two sisters and said.

"I'll go with you too! As a priest of the Athenian tribe, I want to know more about the tribe."

"this is not good……"

Procne lowered her head and said softly.

"You are not our relative...in case someone misunderstands our relationship...take you as my husband..."

Of course Roy knew that by going out with Procne and Philomela, he might damage the reputation of their sisters.

But in order to visit the Athenian tribe with the leader's noble daughter and learn about the supplies of the Athenian tribe, Roy could only pretend that he didn't hear Procne's words.

After all, Roy's identity is the priest of the goddess Metis.

Seeing that Roy did not give up, Procne could only sigh helplessly, and led everyone to find the various supplies Roy needed.
