Chapter 140: Minotaur’s Ritual

Wuwuwuwu——

The time has finally arrived for the Spring Plowing Festival.

As soon as the sun's rays illuminated the sky, Roy and Procne were awakened by the sound of trumpets in the city of Knossos.

Roy and Procne opened their eyes, Procne complained as she got dressed and got up.

"Brother Roy, is the spring plowing ceremony in Knossos City going to start so early?"

Roy smiled while admiring Procne's beautiful figure.

"This is also my first time to participate in their Spring Plowing Festival. Like you, I don't know the process of the Spring Plowing Festival!"

After the two left the room, they saw Pandora and a young and beautiful palace maid standing in the corridor.

Seeing Roy and Procne, the palace maid took the initiative to take Roy and Procne to Deucalion's palace to gather.

Led by the palace maid, Roy, Procne, and Pandora arrived at Deucalion's palace and saw that the princes and princesses had gathered here.

Seeing that the guests had arrived at his palace, Deucalion said loudly.

"My friends, the ceremony of the Spring Plowing Ceremony is about to begin. After the ceremony begins, my parents, King Minos and Queen Minos, will tour the whole city. I will board the royal carriage with other royal families to tour the city. You We will also board the carriage that tours the city. Please follow the arrangements and do not disrupt the ceremony by acting privately. If you have no objections, I will take you outside the palace and wait to board the carriage that tours the city."

After Deucalion finished speaking, the princes and princesses all remained silent.

Seeing that no one offered any advice, Deucalion took the princes and princesses away.

The street outside the palace was originally a bustling trading street.

But today, this commercial street was cleaned up, and there were two rows of heavily armed soldiers standing on both sides of the street.

The princes and princesses came outside the palace and saw three cars parked in front of the palace gate.

The first cart was pulled by two white oxen, a male and a female, the second cart was pulled by two oxen and two cows, and the third cart was pulled by four black horses.

At this time Deucalion's brothers and sisters gathered around the second chariot, and it was obvious that the royal family of Knossos was going to ride in the second chariot.

After taking the princes and princesses to the third car, Deucalion returned to his brothers and sisters and waited with everyone for Minos and the queen.

After a while.

Minos and the queen walked out of the palace hand in hand.

This was the first time Roy saw Minos, now King of Knossos, and his queen.

Minos was about forty years old. His upper body was bare, showing off his strong body. His head was decorated with two white horns, and his bearded face was full of the majesty of an Aegean overlord.

The queen is a beauty who looks much younger than her actual age. Her head is decorated with white cow horns, and the white cotton robe she wears is extremely close-fitting, highlighting two huge weapons, as if the queen really belongs to a cow. incarnation.

Procne said in surprise as she looked at the bull-headed man [Minos] and the cow-headed man [Queen] walking towards the first bullock cart.

"Their horns don't fall off their heads. They look like real minotaurs."

"This behavior is called role-playing."

Roy held Procne in his arms excitedly and said.

"When we return to Athens, we will make you cat ears and dog ears, and let you role-play as cat woman and dog woman. Procne, would you like to be my little female cat and little bitch - just Like the Queen of Knossos willing to be Minos’ heifer?”

role play?

Although Procne didn't understand Roy's words, she still nodded and smiled.

"As long as Brother Roy really likes it, I can be your kitten and puppy just like Queen Knossos."

The bull-headed man [Minos] and the cow-headed man [Queen] stepped on the bodies of the male servants lying on the ground and boarded the first bullock cart. As if receiving a signal, the royal family of Knossos came to Deucalion. They boarded the second bullock cart under the leadership of the police.

Seeing this scene, Roy, Procne, and Pandora also boarded the third car with the princes and princesses.

On the huge carriage, the princes and princesses were clearly divided into two groups. Only Procne and Pandora sat with Roy.

After the first ox-cart started moving forward, the second ox-cart and the third horse-drawn carriage immediately followed.

As the motorcade advanced, the princes and princesses marveled at the large population and bustling scene of Knossos. This was why the princes and princesses were arranged to tour the entire city.

Only by letting the princes and princesses representing each city-state understand the power of the city of Knossos can each city-state be willing to become vassals of the city of Knossos.

After the convoy left the streets outside the palace, every street the convoy went to was crowded with people. All the people of Knossos desperately wanted to get close to the bullock carts of the bull-headed man [Minos] and the cow-headed man [Queen]. .

Because the city of Knossos was a city-state protected by Europa, the goddess of cattle, Minos was the highest male priest serving the goddess Europa, and the queen was the highest priestess serving the goddess Europa.

The purpose of Minos and the Queen's spring plowing ceremony touring the city was to bring the blessings of the goddess Europa to all residents in the city.

The people of Knossos also believed that the closer they got to the bull-headed man [Minos] and the cow-headed man [Queen], the more blessings they would receive from the goddess Europa.

Minos and the queen were like kind parents seeing their children. They kept showing loving smiles and did not refuse their people from approaching the ox cart.

Only the palace soldiers guarded the ox cart and pushed back the Knossos people who approached the ox cart.

The ox cart slowly patrolled the city, not only bringing the blessing of the goddess Europa to the residents of the city, but also allowing the residents of the city to see Minos and the queen and know what their ruler looked like.

It was noon.

The convoy that patrolled the entire city of Knossos came to the Temple of Europa outside the city.

On a plain surrounded by woods and streams, there stood a ten-meter-high statue of Europa. In front of the statue was an altar, and behind the statue was a temple built of stone bricks.

Judging from the statue of Europa, the goddess Europa was also a very beautiful goddess.

But on the head of the statue of Europa, there was a pair of horns like Minos.

The two weapons of the goddess Europa were as huge as the queen's, full of maternal glory as the mother goddess of the earth.

The convoy stopped in front of the altar of the goddess Europa. Minos and the queen got off the first ox cart and climbed the altar together.

At this time, around the Temple of Europa, there were not only convoys patrolling the whole city, but also thousands of Knossos gathered.

Minos glanced at the people around him, and then spoke loudly at the altar.

"Knossos - my beloved people! It's the annual spring plowing festival again. I remind you again that only when farmers work hard in the fields can the fields grow crops and harvest food. Only when shepherds work hard to graze livestock can the number of livestock increase."
