Chapter 257 The Platinum King of Endless White Salt

The journey from Avaris City to Tanis City is not that far, but ordinary people may not be able to reach it in a day's walk.

Because on the roads far away from the city, there may be wild beasts like hyenas, crocodiles, leopards, and even lions living.

A lone traveler who breaks into the territory of these ferocious beasts is likely to become the target of their attack.

Therefore, in this era, even if people go to farm fields outside the village, they will go with at least three people.

Roy carried Andromeda in a princess hug and headed straight to Tanis City. Although he entered the territory of many beasts and even lions on the way, under Roy's protection, Andromeda was not harmed in any way. .

The natural scenery she saw along the way also opened the eyes of Andromeda, who lived most of her life in the palace.

Along the way, Roy introduced Andromeda to the lives and habits of various animals, which made Andromeda admire Roy's profound knowledge.

Tanis City.

When the time was approaching evening, Roy finally carried Andromeda in his arms and arrived at the current trading center of Egypt - which is also the richest city in Egypt.

Roy held Andromeda's slender waist, and the two walked into the streets of Tanis City together. Andromeda immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street.

Like Andromeda, who came to the world as a goddess wearing golden shoes, whether it is her beauty or the gold ornaments on her body, it can make people greedy and ambitious.

Andromeda felt the malicious eyes around her and hugged Roy's waist tightly with both hands, as if this could increase her sense of security.

Roy lowered his head and comforted Andromeda in her ear.

"Andromeda, no one can harm you in my presence."

Andromeda said with a sweet smile.

"I know you can protect me."

The two walked across the street to the port area of ​​Tanis City, and Andromeda asked curiously.

"Why are we here?"

"We want to get to the Faros area, and the fastest way is to take a boat here."

"But it's getting dark! Even if I've never been to sea, I know that ships usually don't leave at night."

"Andromeda, we just need to choose the ship we are going to take tomorrow so that we can set off early tomorrow morning. After we choose the ship, we will find a hotel-like place to stay in Tanis City for one night. "

After hearing Roy's words, Andromeda's cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Because she had already thought that to ensure safety, maybe the two of them would spend the night in the same room tonight.

After this night, even if nothing happened between the two, others would think that Andromeda was Roy's woman.

Andromeda didn't have much resistance to the fact that her reputation would be destroyed by Roy, because she was already prepared to marry Roy.

Just when Roy took a fancy to a large cargo ship and was about to ask the sailors on the ship, Roy suddenly heard someone calling his name.

"Loy, King of Athens?"

Roy turned his head in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a Phoenician businessman about forty years old walking towards him with a group of followers.

The Phoenician businessman came to a stop in front of Roy. Roy looked at the familiar face of the Phoenician businessman and said.

"you know me?"

The Phoenician merchant first glanced at Andromeda with amazement, and then said with a smile.

"There is such a beautiful princess beside me. You are indeed His Majesty the King of Athens."

After hearing what the Phoenician merchant said, Roy complained with a dissatisfied expression.

"What do you mean? Your criterion for judging whether I am King Loy of Athens is not based on my face, but whether there is a beautiful girl beside me?"

"Hahaha - His Majesty, King of Athens, don't be angry!"

The Phoenician merchant couldn't help laughing.

"Although I have seen your face, it is inevitable that there will be people with similar or even identical faces in the world. So I saw a beautiful and noble princess beside you to confirm that you are really the King of Athens himself."

Then, the Phoenician merchant bowed respectfully to Roy.

"Great King of Athens, I am honored to see you in the city of Tanis. Maybe you have no impression of me, but I saw you in the port of Athens."

Roy took the initiative to reach out and help the Phoenician businessman up.

"Mr. Merchant, I am just a stranger who came to the city of Tanis. You don't need to treat me as the king of Athens. I assure you that you will treat me as an ordinary foreigner now and have no objection to your trading in the city of Athens. will have any impact."

The Phoenician businessman obviously did not take Roy's words seriously. He looked behind Roy in awe and said.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, I can't see any entourage around you. Are you and the princess the only two people here?"

Roy nodded and said.

"My men are all in the Faros area! Now we are looking for a ship to go to sea. We will set off on the ship early tomorrow morning."

After hearing what Roy said, the Phoenician businessman said excitedly.

"Your Majesty the King of Athens, I can arrange a ship to take you -"

Before he finished speaking, the Phoenician businessman changed his words.

"I can give you a ship and all the slave sailors on board. But in return, I hope that you will become my guest and let me entertain you and the princess as my master."

Upon hearing the words of the Phoenician merchant, Andromeda showed an expression full of surprise.

I didn't expect that the Phoenician merchant not only wanted to give Roy a ship and the slave sailors on the ship, but also asked for Roy to be his guest in return.

Even if Andromeda didn't know much about sailing, she knew that a sturdy ship and a group of young slave sailors were worth at least 100,000 kilograms of grain.

The Phoenician merchant took the initiative to use such a huge wealth to please Roy. What charm did Roy have?

Seeing Andromeda's surprised and puzzled expression, the Phoenician merchant smiled and explained.

"Beautiful princess! Do you know that salt is as valuable as gold? The white salt produced in the Kingdom of Athens ruled by your future husband is endless. We merchants call His Majesty the King of Athens the King of Platinum with endless white salt. Your future husband not only has endless wealth, but is also the most powerful king in the Aegean Sea. Perhaps it won't be long before His Majesty the King of Athens can become the most powerful king in the Mediterranean. His Majesty the King of Athens will be great, surpassing all kings in history."

After listening to the words of the Phoenician merchant, Andromeda frowned and said.

"Mr. Merchant, are you exaggerating too much? Isn't Kamose, the Pharaoh of South Egypt, just a young ruler whose territory is larger than Roy's and whose personal strength is also better than Roy's?"

"Kamose, the Pharaoh of South Egypt, is not worthy of being compared with His Majesty the King of Athens!"

The Phoenician merchant shook his head and said.

"Everything that Kamose, the Pharaoh of South Egypt, has is inherited from his ancestors. But His Majesty the King of Athens is a founding ancestor who established a great kingdom. And it took His Majesty the King of Athens only three months to turn the Athens tribe into the current Kingdom of Athens. As long as you know the deeds of the King of Athens, no one doubts that the King of Athens will become a more powerful demigod hero than Kamose, or even be deified after his death - become an immortal hero god."
