I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 462 Two Queens of Mesopotamia

100 BC, the Fifth Dynasty of Uruk was established.

This was the last time that Uruk established its hegemony, and it was also the last time that Inanna, the goddess of Venus, became the queen of the gods in the Mesopotamia.

In the history of another world, not to mention the present 500 years later, even if it takes another 1000 years, the city of Uruk will not rise again.

The era of Uruk is over, the era of Inanna is over.

But now, Roy once again gave Inanna the chance to become Queen of the Gods.

Even if she had to abandon her allies who were like family members—the moon god Nanna and the sun god Utu, Inanna did not give up this opportunity.

After all, allies are not as important as their own interests.

What Roy didn't expect was that he only exchanged twelve city-states - about 50 people, and the proud goddess Inanna agreed to marry him.

What Inanna didn't expect was that Roy agreed to her request without hesitation.

"It seems that I should ask for sixteen—or twenty city-state patron saint seats."

Seeing Inanna's regretful expression, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"Dear Inanna, I am not a stingy husband. It is just a gift to make you the patron saint of the twelve city-states. When you really marry me, I will give you more territories and More people."

Inanna asked with wide-eyed shock.

"Aren't you lying to me? Are you really going to give me - more territory and population than now?"

"I really want to marry you, so I don't need to lie to you!"

"you--"

Although Roy made Inanna lose important allies like her family, the moon god Nanna and the sun god Utu, Inanna had to admit that Roy was too generous.

If Roy's promises can be fully fulfilled, Inanna feels like she can wake up from her dreams with a smile.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of December.

After taking the city of Del without bloodshed, Gilgamesh is returning to Uruk with his army.

Semiramis, who had stayed in Babylon, and Andromeda, who was escorted by [-] soldiers to the Mesopotamia, also came to Uruk under the order of Roy.

Uruk city.

Palace hall.

Seeing Semiramis and Andromeda walk in together, Roy stood up from the throne and walked down the steps to the two of them.

"Semiramis! Andromeda! Welcome to Uruk, you already know each other!"

Hearing Roy's words, Semiramis and Andromeda looked at each other.

The Hyksos are a branch of the Amorites.

Dating back 500 years, Semiramis and Andromeda likely shared the same ancestors, so there is no doubt that they are distant sisters.

It's a pity that this kind of distant relationship separated by hundreds of years is obviously not as important as the relationship between love rivals.

So Semiramis and Andromeda could see obvious hostility in each other's eyes.

After finishing looking at Andromeda, Semiramis said to Roy with a gentle and sweet smile.

"We have briefly understood each other's identities, but have not communicated in depth."

Andromeda asked Roy directly.

"What is the purpose of you asking me to come here?"

Roy said straight to the point.

"Although I have incorporated the Mesopotamia into the territory of the Athens Empire, this is only the border of the Athens Empire. I cannot stay here for a long time, so I want you two to rule the Mesopotamia instead of me. I let you come together In front of me, I want to divide the ruling area for the two of you."

Hearing Roy's words, both Semiramis and Andromeda couldn't help but brighten their eyes.

Semiramis said impatiently.

"Honey, I am the princess of the Amorites, and I can rule the Babylonian region where the Amorites live."

Roy shook his head and said.

"Semiramis, I intend for you to stay in Uruk and rule the Sumerians."

"You let me, an Amorite princess, rule the Sumerians—"

Semiramis's smile instantly froze on his face.

Because the Amorites and the Sumerians had a blood feud that lasted for thousands of years.

Roy didn't care about Semiramis' reaction, and said to Andromeda.

"Andromeda, I intend to let you stay in Babylon and rule the Amorites. You two will use Nippur as the dividing line. The eastern cities including Nippur will be ruled by Semiramis. Nippur The cities to the west of the city are ruled by Andromeda."

Let the Amorite princess Semiramis rule the Sumerians who hate the Amorites, and let the Amorites’ distant relative, the Hyksos princess Andromeda rule the Amorites—

Roy deliberately arranged this way to cut off the possibility of them not being controlled by the Athens Empire.

Semiramis wanted to separatize the Sumerian region, and he would definitely not get the support of the Sumerians.

Andromeda wants to separate the Babylonian region, and will not get the support of the Amorites.

Semiramis and Andromeda obviously also understood Roy's intentions.

Andromeda said calmly.

"I accept your arrangement."

Although Semiramis was not reconciled, he could only choose to accept it.

Looking at the reactions of the two, Roy said with satisfaction.

"Semiramis! The goddess Inanna is the patron saint of Uruk. After you stay in Uruk to rule the Sumerian region, you will be the highest priestess serving the goddess Inanna. Andromo Da! Goddess Aphrodite will become the new patron saint of Babylon. You rule Babylon, southern Syria and Phoenicia in Babylon. priest."

After listening to Roy's arrangement, Semiramis said with a wry smile.

"Sister Andromeda's territory is several times larger than mine. It seems that my position in your heart is far inferior to that of Sister Andromeda."

"It's a matter of course!"

Andromeda said calmly.

"Do you think that our future husband will fall in love with you at first sight because of your beauty? Our status in his heart mainly depends on the time we have known him. You have only known him for a few days, and you want to be with him Does he have the same status as me in his heart?"

After Semiramis was speechless, Andromeda spoke to Roy.

"Honey, I won't make stupid mistakes again and betray your trust in me. As a reward for me, can you--let me be your woman now? After we part, the next meeting will have to wait until When, I want to get your child as soon as possible."

Roy frowned.

"But I'm not ready to marry you yet."

"Because of the mistakes I made in the past, I don't think I am qualified to marry you. I am willing to be your concubine all the time, and use my status as a concubine to bear children for you."

Andromeda threw herself into Roy's arms and pleaded.

"Just fulfill my request!"

Semiramis widened his eyes in surprise, not understanding why Andromeda would be so self-deprecating.

As a princess of the Hyksos, she even offered to be Roy's concubine.

Roy hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hands to hug Andromeda and said.

"Then I will satisfy you!"
