Chapter 205 The King of Athens Is Struck by Lightning

The seat of the Eleusinian tribe.

Roy and Pallas appeared on horseback at the foot of the hillside and were immediately spotted by the residents on guard.

When the two reached the hillside, more than fifty men rushed out from the Eleusis tribe's station with weapons.

After the group of men surrounded Roy and Pallas, they saw that half of them were using bronze war spears and looked like soldiers who had experienced battles on the battlefield. Roy asked while guessing their origins.

"Who are you, and why did you come here to occupy the Eleusis tribe's headquarters?"

A middle-aged man who looked like the leader replied.

"Before asking us, you should explain your identity and purpose of coming. When we moved here, we found that no one lived here. Now that we live here, we are the owners here. As guests, you should introduce yourself to the owner first Own."

"You said you are the host and I am the guest——"

Roy said with a joking smile.

"Listen carefully, I am King Loy of Athens. The Attica Peninsula, Thebes, Eubia, and Corinth are all territories of the Kingdom of Athens, and I am the real owner of this land."

After learning Roy's identity, the middle-aged man first widened his eyes in shock, then frowned and said.

"If you are really King Loi of Athens, then you are indeed the master of this land. We are the Argive tribe who migrated from the Argos region. If you do not allow us to live here, we will migrate to other places.”

"Argive tribe?"

Roy was stunned when he heard this unfamiliar term.

Because after the Mycenaeans conquered the Argos region, although the Argos region was not changed to the Mycenaean region, the Argos people had been assimilated into the Mycenaeans by the Mycenaeans.

These people in front of them claim to be the Argos tribe. Obviously, they are Argos people who did not want to be ruled and assimilated by the Mycenaeans after they conquered the Argos area.

"Argives, I know that you did not want to be ruled and assimilated by the Mycenaeans, so you left your homeland and came to the Attica Peninsula."

Roy said with a serious expression.

"I can allow you to live in the Eleusis area, but you must abide by the laws of the Kingdom of Athens and worship the goddess Metis with us. In other words, you must be assimilated by us into Athenians."

After hearing Roy's request, the middle-aged man showed a troubled expression on his face.

At this moment, a young girl came over from the Eleusis tribe's station and said.

"Great King of Athens, we can abide by the laws of the Kingdom of Athens, but you cannot force us to worship the goddess Metis in the city of Athens."

Roy raised his head and saw that this was a girl about twenty years old. She was wearing the same coarse linen clothes as ordinary people, but she was still very beautiful.

Her black curly hair was blown freely by the mountain breeze, falling down to her waist like waves. The hemp rope tied around her waist stretched out her thin waist that could be held in one hand, and her little white porcelain feet were wearing straw sandals.

Perhaps to facilitate movement, her dress only reached her knees and did not cover her beautiful calves.

The girl has a delicate baby face like a doll, but the expression on her face is full of perseverance, as if she has suffered many hardships and tempers.

Looking at this heart-warming beautiful girl, Roy frowned and said with an unhappy expression.

"You don't want to worship the goddess Metis. I can't treat you as one of my own, let alone worship other gods in the territory of the goddess Metis. When the Mycenaeans migrated to the Argos area At that time, I saw that the Mycenaeans wanted to worship Zeus and Poseidon in the Argos area. If Inachus, the king of Argos, could decisively call on the Argos to destroy the Mycenaeans, perhaps the Argos People will not be reduced to being assimilated by the Mycenaeans. Having learned from Inachus’s mistakes, I will not make the same mistake again.”

After Roy finished speaking, he saw the girl suddenly burst into tears, tears pouring out of the corners of her eyes uncontrollably.

The dozens of men who surrounded Roy and Pallas also looked at Roy with angry eyes, as if Roy had humiliated their important person.

"Please do not humiliate Inachus."

After wiping away her tears, the girl looked at Roy without fear and said.

"Inachus did not decisively expel the Mycenaeans because he was too kind, and he did not expect that the Mycenaeans would retaliate."

Looking at the girl protecting Inakos and the dozens of men around her, Roy suddenly understood their identities.

"So you are subjects of Inachus."

The middle-aged man who looked like the leader walked up to the girl and said.

"Your Majesty, King of Athens, the Inachus you humiliated is my brother. I am Argolid, the younger brother of Inachus, and this child is Io, the daughter of my brother Inachus."

"I'e——"

Hearing this name, Roy couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

Because in the myths of another world, she was the first human wife of the king of gods worshiped by the Mycenaeans.

In the myth of Io, she wandered from the land to Egypt, where she became the goddess Isis in Egypt, and the son she gave birth to became Horus.

Among the gods in Egypt, Osiris was originally a pharaoh who was deified after death, and Isis was a queen who was deified after death. Therefore, the origins of Osiris and Isis were not powerful gods.

But for more than a thousand years, Isis was confused with the sun goddess and the lion goddess, and gained the lofty status of the queen of the gods.

Io can be confused with Isis in Mycenaean mythology, which is obviously an extraordinary treatment.

Perhaps this was the Mycenaeans' gratitude to Inachus for allowing his beloved daughter to become the first human wife of Zeus in mythology, and to be confused with a queen of the gods.

After recovering from the shock, Roy said expressionlessly.

"Even if you are the younger brother and daughter of Inachus, you must worship the goddess Metis. If you refuse to assimilate, I will have no choice but to expel you."

Rumble——

After Roy finished speaking, a bolt of thunder suddenly fell from the sky and hit a tree not far away.

The next moment, the tree struck by thunder burst into flames.

It was a cloudless sunny day.

Roy looked up at the sky and saw a huge red figure floating thousands of meters in the sky, looking like a burning flame.

"Everyone, hide now!"

As if she knew there was danger, Io suddenly shouted to the Argives around her.

"Quickly stay away from this person who offends the goddess, so that he won't be affected."

Hearing Io's warning, the surrounding Argives retreated away from Roy.

Rumble——

Another bolt of thunder fell from the sky.

The first thunderbolt fell more than ten meters away from Roy, and the second thunderbolt fell only five meters away from Roy.

Looking at the thunder that seemed to be gradually aiming at him, Roy had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Rumble——

The third thunderbolt fell and shattered a stone on the ground.

Seeing that the third thunderbolt was only one meter away from him, Roy finally confirmed that the thunderbolt was targeting him.

"Paras, what are you doing standing still? Run away!"

Roy came to his senses and immediately let his horse gallop away from the Eleusis tribe's station.
