I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 2 The Goddess of Wisdom Made Me a Priest

Whether he ends up drowning in the sea or being eaten by that giant sea snake that looks like a fantasy creature, Roy will eventually end up dead.

Knowing this, Roy never expected that he would be able to wake up with his eyes open.

"Cough...cough..."

Roy, who opened his eyes, coughed out the salty sea water, while looking around, wanting to see who saved him.

Then Roy saw that his body was lying on the beach by the sea.

Not far from his body, there was a girl in a blue dress, with her back to him and facing the sea, sitting at the boundary between the beach and the sea.

Miraculously, her beautiful dress with invisible fabrics showed no sign of being soaked by sea water at all.

This is a girl who makes people's heart flutter just by looking at her back. She has a graceful figure and a slender waist. The golden belt around her waist is full of nobility, and the beautiful blue hair hanging down her waist is constantly fluttering in the sea breeze.

"you're awake?"

Seemingly aware of Roy's gaze, the girl turned to look at Roy while asking in a beautiful voice.

The moment the eyes of the two collided, Roy immediately widened his eyes in shock.

Because the girl not only has a flawless and delicate face as expected, but also a pair of blue eyes that are shining with divine light.

Seeing the pair of blue eyes, Roy knew they were not human eyes.

Is it because she is so beautiful that I made up the illusion that her eyes are glowing?
Roy got up from the beach in a panic, and thanked the girl who saved him.

"Thank you for saving me! I'm a foreigner in need, can you tell me where I can get—"

Before he finished speaking, Roy's eyes widened again.

Because at this time Roy finally discovered that the blue-eyed girl in front of her not only had an incredible beauty, but also had a huge figure.

If the blue-eyed girl stood up, she must be a giant about ten meters tall.

"You are not...human..."

Seeing Roy's reaction and hearing Roy's words, the blue-eyed girl said with a playful smile.

"Although I am not a human being, I am the savior who saved you. Human beings! I am the daughter of Pontus [Sea], Metis [Wisdom] from the sea, the goddess of the sea who is in charge of wisdom. You are very lucky saved by me, and chosen by me."

"I was chosen by you?"

Roy couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Are you serious about calling yourself a goddess? Our world is a godless world—no! The appearance of a huge fantasy creature like you in front of my eyes has already broken the common sense that this is a godless world. Could it be that I have come here now... To another world? That's why the local people I met just now were wearing ancient clothes and attacking me with wooden weapons..."

Realizing that he might be in another world, Roy's mind was thrown into chaos.

slam-la-

Metis threw a cloud of sea water at Roy.

After the cold sea water drenched his head, Roy forced himself to calm down, and looked at Metis nervously.

"Female... Lady Goddess! Since you said that you saved me...then you should have no ill intentions towards me! Can you tell me where this place is and how I...survive here?"

"This is near the territory of the Athens tribe! If you don't know how to survive, the task I entrusted to you can just point out the future for you."

Metis said with a beautiful smile.

"Human! I saved you, so your life is mine now. You must do something for me in return for saving my life—do you think I am right?"

After Roy nodded, Metis continued.

"The Athenian tribe living in this area is the strongest tribe in the Attica peninsula. I hope you, as my priest, will negotiate with the Athenian tribe and let the Athenian tribe regard me as the patron saint and help me ascend the throne of the patron saint." .As long as you can complete this task, you will be able to survive as my priest in the future and get my protection and help."

Athenian tribes...

Hearing the word Athens, Roy couldn't help but think of the famous city of Athens.

Thinking that he was not a sociable person, Roy couldn't help but said to Metis.

"Goddess, can I refuse your request?"

"No! You must complete this task."

Metis said in a cold voice with an unhappy expression.

"Human, I saved your life. If you refuse my mission, then I will take your life back."

"It seems that your purpose of saving me is to use me."

The goddess Metis' heart is not as beautiful as her beauty, Roy looked at Metis' exquisite and beautiful face with some disappointment and said.

"When I jumped into the sea just now, I was already prepared to die. Since you saved my life, I should repay your kindness. I will negotiate with the Athens tribe and let the Athens tribe regard you as a patron saint .”

"very good!"

Metis smiled with satisfaction, and pointed her right index finger towards Roy.

As Metis' fingers touched Roy's forehead, a stream of divine power poured into Roy's body, making Roy feel instantly reborn.

There was also a surge of information in Roy's mind.

Lowe.

Age: 20 years old
Possess the protection of the gods: Blessing of Metis [Wisdom Improvement]

Strength Level: Hero [Hundred Enemies]

Seeing this message, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"I am now a hero who can defeat a hundred with one enemy? Is this the increase in strength brought by the divine power of the goddess?"

"One against a hundred—"

Hearing Roy's words, Metis looked down at Roy with emotionless eyes and said.

"Now you don't say you are one against a hundred, you can't even do one against one. Although I have given you divine power to protect you, you have the potential to become a hero with one against a hundred, but potential is only potential after all. , Whether you can transform your potential into real strength depends on yourself."

Metis' words were like a basin of cold water splashed on his forehead.

Roy said with a guilty conscience.

"Master Goddess! Since I don't have the strength of a hero now, how can I prove to the people of the Athenian tribe that I am favored by a god?"

"You are my priest, and I will lend you part of my power, so that your eyes can release divine power to salt the creatures in your sight."

Metis pointed to a flying seabird in the distance and said.

"You can try it now, stare at it intently, and then call [saltification]."

Roy nodded, then fixed his eyes on the seabird and shouted in a low voice.

"Salting!"

The next moment!

Part of the divine power in Roy's body was released from his eyes.

This divine power turned into a blue divine light and enveloped the seabird, and the seabird immediately turned into a salt statue.

Immediately afterwards, the seabird's salt image fell to the ground and shattered.

"A miracle! What a miracle!"

Seeing this scene, Roy said happily.

"With this magical ability, I will be able to convince the Athenian tribes."
