I was a priest in the city-state era.

Chapter 314 Finally Returning to Athens City
The scorching sun in May hangs in the sky, and the scattered sunlight makes the temperature gradually have the heat of summer.

Roy's sailors were all sweating and shaking their oars, and the ship sailed to the port of Piraeus like riding the wind and waves.

Standing on the deck and looking at the land in the east, Roy couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face when he saw that the golden barley was ready to be harvested.

Andromeda walked up to Roy, looked at the land curiously and asked.

"Is this the Attica Peninsula?"

Because he was in a good mood, Roy nodded immediately and said.

"The land we see is the coast of the Attica Peninsula. It seems that we will be able to return to the city of Athens before evening."

Andromeda turned her head, looked at the smile on Roy's face and said.

"I have never seen you so happy! Are you so happy because you are back in Athens, or because you can meet the girls in Athens?"

"I'm so happy because the city of Athens is my home with my family."

The evening when the sun begins to set in the sky.

Roy's ship sailed into the port of Piraeus smoothly.

As a good natural harbor, the Port of Piraeus has three harbors, large, medium and small. Roy took Andromeda to the land to observe, and saw that the Port of Piraeus is much different than it was more than a month ago. a very large change.

Now hundreds of merchant ships, large and small, are moored in the large harbor of Piraeus Port, and all the warships of the Kingdom of Athens have been transferred to the middle and small harbors.

Looking at the bustling commercial scene of Piraeus Port, Andromeda murmured with wide-eyed eyes.

"Is this the port of Athens? I always thought that Tanis, ruled by the Phoenicians who were good at business, was the most prosperous city in the world as the trading center of Egypt. I didn't expect it to be even more prosperous here."

Even Roy was surprised by the changes in Piraeus Port, so it was no wonder Andromeda had such a reaction.

"It seems that the city of Athens has completely replaced the city of Knossos as the trading hub of the Aegean Sea."

Before night fell, Roy hurried back to Athens with Andromeda.

Acropolis.

royal palace.

Roy and Andromeda walked into the courtyard of the palace, and when they saw Procne, Philomela, Chione, and Io sitting at the dining table in the hall, Roy shouted excitedly.

"Procne! Philomela! I'm back!"

Hearing Roy's voice, the four girls ran out of the hall to meet Roy.

"Brother Roy—"

"You are finally back."

Seeing that Roy's figure was really in the courtyard, Procne and Philomela ran over excitedly and weeping.

After Roy opened his arms to embrace the two, he found that their bodies were stiff at the same time, as if they were resisting physical contact with him.

Procne and Philomela also noticed the abnormality in their bodies and immediately relaxed their bodies.

Roy didn't care about the abnormal reactions of Procne and Philomela. After hugging them up and turning them around a few times, Roy put them down and asked.

"My dear sister, do you miss me?"

"We miss Brother Roy every day in our dreams."

Philomela smiled without hesitation.

"Now brother Roy is finally back, brother Roy will be with us tonight...with us..."

Thinking of Luo Yi sleeping in the same room with the two sisters in her mind, Philomela was surprised to find that her body instinctively resisted to say the following words.

Roy also noticed Philomela's abnormality at this time, and asked worriedly.

"Philomela, do you have any questions?"

Procne explained for his sister.

"Brother Roy, during your absence, Philomela and I became priestesses of the goddess Metis. Because the goddess Metis is a holy virgin goddess, we, as the daughters of the goddess Metis, Priests, you should also follow the example of Goddess Metis and be a pure girl in body and mind. Philomela must be thinking about impure things, so she can't say it."

"Are you going to be a priestess who is pure in body and mind?"

Seeing Procne and Philomela nodding at the same time, Roy couldn't help but grow grass in his heart.

Roy had no objection to Procne and Philomela becoming priestesses of Metis.

When Roy made them apprentice priestesses of Metis, he had already considered making them priestesses of Metis.

But Roy didn't think about letting them follow Metis and become pure in body and mind—even girls who would never marry for life.

"Procne! Philomela! I'm glad that you want to be a priestess who is pure in body and mind, and you don't want to have impure contact with men. But I am your fiancé, and you should not resist contact with me."

Procne and Philomela looked at each other, and then Procne said in shame.

"Brother Roy, we don't want to do this either. But our bodies are out of control, and our inner thoughts have also undergone some changes."

"Even your hearts have changed?"

Roy glanced at the Temple of Metis with a gloomy expression, then asked Kione and Io.

"Could it be that the two of you have also become priestesses of Metis, wanting to be pure girls?"

Io shook her head and said.

"I am the priestess of the goddess Hestia. Even if I have lost Hestia's blessing and divine power, I will not change my belief."

Kayone said with a guilty face.

"I did not become the priestess of the goddess Metis, but I am now the priestess of the goddess Amphitrite."

Hearing what Kayone said, Roy smiled wryly with a complicated face.

"It seems that during the period of my absence, not only the city of Athens and the port of Piraeus have changed, but you have also undergone tremendous changes."

"Brother Roy, who is this woman you brought back?"

Philomela pointed to Andromeda with her right hand and said.

"Is she our new sister?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"She is Andromeda, daughter of Cepheus, king of the Hyksos. Although she is a nobler princess than you, she is not my woman, but my slave. For she once betrayed my Trust me, leave the city I handed over to her, and go home to take care of her dying father."

After listening to Roy's explanation, Procne couldn't help but said.

"Since she is doing it for her father, it is understandable for her to betray Brother Luo Yi's trust. Is Brother Luo Yi punishing her too severely?"

"It doesn't matter to me why, a breach of my trust should be punished."

Roy said with a serious expression.

"Procne! Philomela! Even if you are the most important girls in my heart, once you betray me, I will turn you into slaves without mercy."

Without the example of Andromeda, perhaps the girls would have thought Roy was just talking.

With the living example of Andromeda, the girls all looked solemn and took Roy's words to heart.

"Brother Roy..."

Philomela leaned close to Roy's ear and whispered.

"If you become brother Roy's slave, you won't have to work so hard to manage the city of Athens. I really want to be Roy's slave."

Roy immediately rolled his eyes and said.

"Even if you become a slave, I will continue to arrange work for you."
