I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 214 Radamandis is seriously ill

Athens waters.

A fast boat left the port of Piraeus, driven by the north wind, it was driving on the sea like an arrow leaving the string.

Roy stood on the bow deck of the clipper, admiring the beautiful scenery on the sea.

The destination of the fast boat was not the Arcadia region that the Mycenaeans were invading, but the city of Donia in the northwest of Crete.

At noon on the third day, Roy's fast boat arrived at the port of Donia City.

When the ship sailed into the port, he saw that there were hundreds of merchant ships moored in the port of Donia City, and it was beginning to develop into a trading hub. Roy knew he was in the right place.

If Donia City is allowed to grow and develop, Donia City will not only be a threat to Knossos City, but also a threat to Athens City.

If the city of Donia is part of the Kingdom of Athens under the rule of Roy, no matter whether Athens or Donia develops into a trade hub, the ultimate beneficiary will be Roy, and Roy will definitely not oppose the development of Donia become a trading hub.

It's a pity that the current ruler of Donia City is not Roy, but Roy's cheap uncle, Goladamantis.

Leaving the sailors of the Clippers on board, Roy entered the city of Donia alone with the bronze spear and went to the palace of the city of Donia.

Because the palace is usually the largest building in a city, and it is built in the center of the city, so Roy came to the gate of the palace very smoothly.

Roy told the soldiers guarding the gate of the palace his identity. After a soldier went to the palace hall to report, Roy was quickly taken to the hall.

In the hall with two rows of stone pillars supporting the roof, the throne of Radamandes, the king of Donia, is on the three steps deep in the hall.

Roy walked to the center of the hall and looked at Radamandis on the throne. He saw that this cheap uncle was about 20 years old. He was wearing a gold crown on his head and a gold-encrusted shirt on his body. Gorgeous white gown.

Although Radamandis sat on the throne with a lazy look, his momentum was like a lion with half-opened eyes, as if he would turn into a beast to attack Roy in the next moment.

While Roy was looking at Radamandis, Radamandis was also looking at Roy.

"You are King Roy of Athens? I heard that you came to my palace alone. I thought it was a daring idiot who came here to deceive me, but you look like the real thing!"

"You don't look like a fake either!"

Roy said with a playful smile.

"Dear brother, let me directly explain to you why I am here! The navy of your Donia city collects tolls in the Sea of ​​Thira, forcing merchant ships to come to your Donia city for trade. This makes me feel very embarrassed. "

"Who's your brother—"

Like an enraged lion, Radamandis suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Roy and said.

"A woman's marriage is decided by her father and brother. I don't have the idea of ​​marrying my sister Pandora to you. Don't brazenly regard yourself as my brother-in-law."

"you--"

Radamandis actually wanted to break off his engagement with Pandora, Roy suppressed the anger in his heart and said.

"King Radamandes of Donia, we will talk about Pandora later. Now let's talk about the toll collection in Donia City."

"The city of Athens is hundreds of miles away. What does the toll I collected in the Sea of ​​Thira have to do with the city of Athens?"

"It doesn't matter!"

Leutan said frankly.

"At least half of the Thira sea area is your sphere of influence. It is your freedom to collect tolls in your own sea area. But your actions affect my interests, so I have to interfere with you. Normal trade among merchants Under such circumstances, the benefits we can extract from them are limited, if you directly charge one-tenth of the toll, how will I collect commercial taxes in the future?"

"You want me to reduce or even eliminate tolls?"

Radamandis said with a smug smile.

"As long as you accept my decision to cancel your marriage contract with Pandora, I will reduce the toll to one-twentieth, so that you city of Athens can also collect one-twentieth commercial tax."

"You have to reduce the toll by half in exchange for me giving up my engagement with Pandora—"

Roy looked at Radamandis in surprise and doubt and said.

"Radamandis, since you love your sister so much, why don't you ask Pandora what she thinks?"

"Even if I don't ask, I know that she definitely doesn't want to marry you, because there is no man in the world who can be her husband. The only person who can stand by her side and accompany her is me, the person who loves her the most in the world." .”

Seeing that Radamandis looked crazy, Roy finally confirmed his guess—Radamandis is also a perverted sister-controller.

"Radamandis, it seems that we don't need to waste time negotiating. Let me ask you one last question, has Pandora returned to Donia City?"

"Donia City is Pandora's real home, and of course she lives here."

Hearing Radamandis's answer, Roy raised his bronze spear and pointed at Radamandis.

"I didn't want to do this in the first place! Since you are unwilling to give up collecting tolls, and want to dissolve my engagement with Pandora, now I want to pull you down from the throne and let Pandora inherit the throne as a princess."

Seeing Roy aiming his spear at Radamandis, the twelve soldiers guarding the hall immediately rushed in to surround Roy.

"You all go out!"

Radamandis ordered the soldiers.

"The battle between great heroes and great heroes is not something ordinary soldiers like you can intervene in."

After speaking, Radamandis stood up from the throne and took the spears brought by the two soldiers.

Walking down the steps of the throne and coming to Roy, Radamandis raised two bronze spears with both hands in a fighting posture and said to Roy.

"I can fight you and promise not to kill you. But if you lose, you have to accept my arrangement and give up the marriage contract that Pandora made with you privately. I will reduce the toll fee to one-twentieth, As compensation for you."

Roy couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said.

"Where do you get the confidence to think that you can defeat me? Don't you know that Minos [Deucalion] is my defeated opponent, and you can only fight against Minos. Since I If you can defeat Minos, of course you can also defeat you who have the same strength as Minos."

"Stupid guy, have you forgotten that this is Donia City?"

Radamandis said with a sneer.

"Even if your strength is really stronger than mine, I will defeat you with the help of the guardian goddess of Donia City."

After speaking, Radamandis took the initiative to wave two spears and attacked Roy.

Roy moved to the courtyard outside the hall while avoiding the attack of Radamandis.

Under Roy's guidance, Roy and Radamandis soon came outside the hall.

Just when Roy was about to counterattack Radamandis, Pandora's figure suddenly appeared in Roy's sight.

Seeing Pandora walking to the door of the hall, Roy looked into Pandora's eyes while avoiding Radamandes' attack.
