I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 3 Pandion, Chief of the Athenian Tribe

"The power I lend you is limited!"

Just when Roy was about to leave, Metis said suddenly.

"The divine power I gave you can only let you use the power of [Saltization] to salt a person's body. If the other party has the same divine power as you, you can use the divine power to counteract the divine power of [Saltization]."

Seeing Roy's flustered expression, Metis continued.

"Human! If you cherish your life, then act carefully and don't fail."

After speaking, Metis' body began to rise backwards.

She didn't look like she was standing up, more like she was being held up by something.

When Metis' body rose to about ten meters, he turned and entered the sea——

Only then did Roy see that under Metis' blue dress were not human-like legs, but a snake body with blue armor.

"snake……"

Watching Metis' body slowly sinking into the sea, Roy finally understood that Metis' body was the huge sea snake he had seen before.

"The goddess of the snake whose body is a snake... This is the goddess Metis..."

Although as a man, he was fascinated by the incredible beauty of Metis, but now Roy completely abandoned the thoughts he shouldn't have, and regained his composure.

Leaving the beach, he came to a small hill 20 meters high. Roy looked around and saw many human houses on a huge hill in the distance. Roy immediately confirmed that it was the place where the people of the Athenian tribe lived.

When Roy walked down the hill and was about to walk towards the hills where the tribes lived in Athens, the group of locals that Roy had met before appeared in front of Roy again.

This group of people is like a group of lions patrolling their territory.

When Roy first met them, they were touring the territory from north to south.

This time Roy met them, and they were patrolling the territory from south to north.

Seeing Roy who should have been drowned in the sea, the group of locals immediately rushed to Roy under the leadership of the leader.

Roy knew that to deter these people, he had to show miracles and convince them that he represented a god.

So Roy fixed his gaze on the leader and the other two people rushing to the front, and shouted the word [saltization].

The divine power in Roy's body immediately burst out from his eyes, turning into a blue light that enveloped the three people including the leader.

The divine power capable of salting one person's body was distributed to three people, and the legs of the three people were all salted in an instant, forcing them to stop running.

"leader--"

"younger brother--"

"Big brother-"

The legs of the three people including the leader were salted, and the others immediately surrounded them, checking their bodies worriedly.

Seeing that the rest of the people didn't rush over to attack him regardless, Roy was relieved, and then said as he walked towards them.

"You don't have to worry, I will immediately withdraw the divine power that salts their bodies and bring them back to normal."

Hearing what Roy said, several people immediately rushed to surround Roy and threatened.

"Hurry up and let our leader's legs return to normal, or we will definitely kill you."

Although they were threatening, this group of people did not behave rudely to Roy. They were obviously afraid of Roy's salting ability and feared that Roy would also salt their bodies.

Although the leader's body was salted, he did not glared at Roy, but calmly ordered to his companions.

"Don't be rude to a god's favorite, I will negotiate with him personally."

Roy walked up to the leader, looked at him with sincere eyes and said.

"Boss! I am a priest serving the great goddess of wisdom, and I have the divine power lent to me by the gods. I could have used the power of the goddess to turn you into a statue of salt, but I didn't. Now you are willing to believe that I will treat you Without hostility, are you willing to believe that I am not your enemy?"

The leader nodded and said.

"If you reveal your identity from the beginning, our Athenian tribe will never be rude to a priest of a god, but will treat you as the most noble guest. Now I believe that you are not our enemy, please help me body returned to normal."

Hearing what the leader said, Roy whispered something.

"Saltization removed!"

The legs of the leader and the other two returned to normal immediately.

Because Roy distributed the power of salting one person to three people, in fact, even if Roy didn't help them unsalinate, their legs would recover the next day.

Seeing that the leader's legs returned to normal, his companions immediately aimed at Luo Yi's body with a dozen wooden spears.

"Put down your weapon!"

The leader immediately said in a cold voice.

"Didn't you hear what I said just now? This god priest is not our enemy, but a distinguished guest we should entertain."

After the companions obeyed the order to put down their weapons, the leader said to Roy.

"Dear priest! I am Pandion, the leader of the Athenian tribe. Please forgive my companions for their rudeness. Now I officially invite you, and I hope you can go to our Athenian tribe."

"Pandion—"

Hearing the leader's name, Roy whispered.

"I seem to have heard of this name. It seems to be the name of a... great King of Athens."

After recovering, Roy said to Pandion.

"Pandion leader! I am Roy, the priest who serves Metis, the goddess of wisdom. I am very happy to be a guest of the Athenian tribe."

After speaking, Roy stretched out his right hand to Pandion.

Pandion froze for a moment, apparently not understanding what Roy meant by extending his right hand to him.

But he is also a smart person, guessing that this might be an act of showing favor, he also extended his right hand to Roy.

Seeing that Pandion stretched out his right hand but did not shake hands with him, Roy could only take the initiative to hold Pandion's right hand.

After the two shook hands tightly, Pandion and others surrounded Roy and walked towards the Athens tribe together.

Along the way, Pandion and his companions looked at Roy's clothes and shoes from top to bottom with curious eyes.

"Priest Roy! I'm really sorry, my companions and I shouldn't treat you as a barbaric Dorian. Although you wear pants like a Dorian, the clothes and shoes on your body are not Dorian at all." A man can make it. And you are not like the blond Dorians, your black hair and black eyes are more like us and Asia Minor."

Feeling Pandion's sincere apology, Roy asked curiously.

"You guys attacked me in the first place because you thought I was a Dorian in pants?"

Pandion nodded.

"You are a foreigner, so you don't know how barbaric the Dorians are. Their ancestors were nomads who migrated from the far east hundreds of years ago. After they settled in the Thessaly area in the north of us, the Dorians It has not changed the living habits of the nomads. Although the mountains in the north of the Thebes area prevent them from going south on a large scale, they will still disperse and go south to plunder food and women on our land. These Dorians who ride horses and wear pants, They are more vicious and hateful robbers than the sea thieves. If we catch the sea thieves, we can give him a chance to live, but if we catch the Dorians, we must kill them."
