I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 356 Gods live forever but also fall

When night falls.

Artemis stood on the edge of the Acropolis and looked down at the city of Athens, his eyes full of complex gazes.

Compared with the first time Artemis came to Athens, the city of Athens has become more prosperous.

And this change happened in just a few months.

"If I were the patron saint of this city, I would be the Mediterranean—the greatest god in the whole world."

"This city belongs to me."

Metis said in an indifferent voice.

"If there are other gods who want to compete with me for the city of Athens, even if they are sisters who have the same origin as mine, I will never forgive them."

While speaking, Metis appeared next to Artemis in the form of a human girl.

Artemis turned to look at Metis beside him, and said with a smile.

"Metis, you really have already discovered me."

"Do you think I'm blind? When you first came to Athens, I've already noticed it."

Metis looked at Artemis with indifferent eyes and said.

"Even the fact that you bowed your knees to humans—to Roy, I can see it. You actually said that you want to marry a human. You really embarrass us sisters."

"Is this the arrogance of the goddess standing on the throne?"

Artemis squeezed out a smile and said.

"Now your identity is the patron saint of the city of Athens. In the future, you may become the queen of the gods in the Kingdom of Athens. Of course you can despise me for submitting to humans. If our identities are exchanged, can you still maintain this arrogance? You But don't forget that being a wandering goddess is not the end of our downfall. Although we are immortal gods, we are not immortal beings."

Just like the end of a wandering lion is to become a lion king with a territory, or to die in obscurity.

There are only two paths to the end of the wandering gods—re-ascend to the throne, or be submerged and disappeared by the long river of time.

"Artemis, are you worried that you will disappear?"

"Metis! Before the blond-haired and blue-eyed Caucasian nomads migrated over, the Great Plains of Thessaly, the Great Plains of Macedonia, and the Great Plains of Thrace lived with Pilaski people, and our sisters guarded them. Caucasian nomads After the national invasion, only more than 400 years have passed, who now remembers the Pilaski people who lived in the Great Plains of Thessaly, Macedonia, and Thrace? Who remembers the Pilaski people who guarded there Goddess? Disappeared—sisters with the same origin as us have not even left their names, and have completely disappeared in the past history."

"Those sisters who didn't even leave their names—is it the gods of the Thracian region who made them disappear?"

"You could say the same!"

Artemis looked at the city of Athens below and said.

"Although our gods are eternal existences, they need territory to support us. If we lose the throne of the patron saint, we can only become subordinate gods of other gods, relying on other gods to survive. Become a real wandering god In the end, it may only take a few hundred years before our names will disappear in the past history, and gods who do not even have names will naturally disappear from this world completely. Metis! Now I am slowly disappearing If I don't seize every opportunity to re-ascend to the throne, will I have to wait until my name disappears before I abandon my pride and self-esteem to fight for the throne?"

In the history of another world.

Artemis, who lost her status as the patron saint of Arcadia, was able to re-emerge as the twelve main gods of Olympus, which was a very lucky accident.

Because the Greeks wanted to replace Bendis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt in Thrace, with the native Greek god, Artemis gained the authority of Bendis.

Because the Greeks who colonized the Asia Minor peninsula wanted to replace the sun god Helios in Thrace with Apollo, Artemis, who was confused with the moon and the goddess of hunting Bendis, was lucky to become Apollo's sister, like Like Dionysus, the god of wine, he relied on Apollo to enhance his authority.

The re-emergence of Artemis has nothing to do with her own efforts.

If Artemis was unlucky, the Greeks could have another goddess confused with Bendis, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, and then become Apollo's sister.

Artemis, who was not favored by the goddess of fortune, may not be completed as an unknown goddess, and may disappear with her name.

The history of another world has proved that Artemis, who has become a wandering goddess, cannot become a patron saint again by relying on her own strength.

Perhaps because of self-knowledge of his own strength, Artemis has a strong sense of crisis.

This is why she was willing to agree to marry Luo Yi in order to re-ascend the patron saint seat.

"Artemis..."

Metis looked at Artemis with sympathetic eyes and said.

"I understand your desire to continue to survive. As long as you don't have the ambition to compete with me for the city of Athens, I won't hinder you."

After speaking, Metis' body glowed with divine light and disappeared.

Looking at the position where Metis was just now, Artemis said with a firm expression.

"I will definitely ascend the throne again and become a goddess stronger than you."

Bathrooms of the Royal Palace of Athens.

After driving out all the palace maids who served him, Roy lay alone in the mini-swimming pool, looking at his own shadow on the wall.

As the flame of the candle changes irregularly, Roy's shadow on the wall is also constantly changing.

When Roy was about to fall asleep, someone approached with silent steps.

"Didn't I say that I don't need the service of you maids—"

Before she could finish her dissatisfaction, a figure jumped into the bath like a mermaid.

Seeing her beautiful braids and beautiful face, Roy immediately widened his eyes.

"Hippodamia—"

Hippodamia swam up to Roy, said with a blushing face while grabbing Roy's shoulders with her hands.

"Please save us, I will do my best to serve you and be a humble maid by your side."

Just when Roy was hesitating whether to run away, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from outside the bathroom.

Roy turned his head, and saw Procne and Philomela leading a group of palace maids coming in menacingly, followed by Io, Andromeda, Callisto and Kalu with curious faces Puso.

"What are you doing? Why are so many people breaking in?"

"Brother Roy, don't worry about anything, we are here to catch this stealing cat."

Philomela waved her hand, and several palace maids immediately grabbed Hippodamia out of the bath and brought her to Procne and Philomela.

"You bold stealing cat, we haven't married Brother Roy yet, and you actually want to use this method to get ahead. Today we will teach you a lesson, and let others know what will happen if you rob us of your husband .”

After speaking, Philomela took out a leather whip and handed it to Procne.

Taking the whip from Philomela, Procne looked hesitantly at Roy and asked.

"Brother Roy, can we teach her a lesson?"

Obviously, Procne didn't want to destroy his image in Roy's heart by teaching Hippodamia a lesson.

"forget it!"

Roy said helplessly.

"She also wanted to save her city-state."
