Chapter 287 The Goddess Will Also Have to Marry

Hearing Goddess Knight's concerned words, Roy couldn't help but say.

"Palas [Spear Wielder]! In order to thank you for your help to me, I will enshrine you as the new patron saint of Atrebis City!"

Goddess Knight immediately opened her eyes in surprise.

After all, Atrebis City has become her new territory, and she will have more divine power and greater authority.

"Loy - you are so kind! If you had known that things would turn out like this, you should have told Hentiheti just now that I wanted to seize the city of Atrebis, so you drove Hentiheti away. Get off the throne. In this way, the target of Hentiheti’s resentment will be me, not you as a human being.”

"But I don't like to lie! And by driving Hentiheti off the throne in your name, I am saying that I will obey your orders. I am a priest serving the goddess Metis, how can I obey other gods? There’s an order!”

"Then if you regard me as the patron saint of Atrebis City, will Metis be angry if he finds out? After all, you are a priest serving Metis, so you should dedicate your new territory to Metis! "

"I will dedicate the port city of Pharos to the goddess Metis!"

Roy explained helplessly.

"If possible, I would also like to enshrine the goddess Metis as the patron saint of Atrebis. But the Egyptians here have not heard of the goddess Metis, and I don't want to force them to accept an unfamiliar god. But Goddess Te! You are a native Egyptian god with a history of thousands of years. The people in Atrebis know you very well, so they will easily accept you as their new patron saint.”

"It seems that you value the Kingdom of Athens - or your own interests - more than the interests of Metis."

"That's right! I will not put the interests of the goddess Metis over my interests and those of the Kingdom of Athens."

Just when Roy was about to end the conversation between the two, Goddess Knight suddenly asked.

"Roy! You always call me Pallas [the spear wielder], then why don't you call Metis Athena [the Maiden Goddess of Athens]?"

"Well--"

Roy said with a strange expression.

“Palas, although the goddess Metis is indeed the unmarried Athenian maiden goddess [Athena] now, she may get married in the future, so I don’t think [Athena] is suitable to be another name for the goddess Metis. Pallas The name Rath [Spear Wielder] is different, and it can be used as your other name whether you get married or not in the future.”

"Why do you think Metis will get married in the future and lose her identity as the Athenian Maiden Goddess [Athena]? Our gods are immortal beings. We do not need to get married and have children like humans to extend our lives!"

"Even if you say so - the goddess Mut of Thebes city will marry Amon, the patron saint of Thebes city, and become the wife and subordinate god of the sun god Amon."

"The sun god Amun, the moon god Kons and the goddess Mut are all gods in the city of Thebes in southern Egypt. If the goddess Mut does not become Amon's wife and the moon god Kons does not become Amon's son, they The belief and worship of Goddess Mut will be eliminated. She does not want to marry Amon voluntarily, she has to marry Amon.”

After listening to Goddess Knight's explanation, Roy said with a smile.

"This kind of having to marry a man may inevitably happen to the goddess of the Kingdom of Athens in the future."

After finishing the conversation with the goddess Knight, Roy found his soldiers and began to manage the city of Atrebis.

First, they drove away the priests and nobles from the city of Atrebis. If they did not want to leave, they demoted their whole family as slaves and sent them to the City of the Sun to build the pyramid of Camos.

Then they took over the land and food left by the priests and nobles. With the land, they could implement the land distribution policy, and with the food, they could recruit more soldiers.

Finally, the temple of Hentiheti was changed to the temple of Knight, so that the people of Atrebis believed that their city was still protected by gods.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

When the policies of the Kingdom of Athens were being implemented in an orderly manner in the city of Atrebis, the arrival of three Athenian soldiers broke the peace in the city of Atrebis.

The governor's palace in the city of Atrebis.

After hearing the news brought by the three Athenian soldiers, Roy opened his eyes in shock and said.

"You just said that Andromeda has left Seis City?"

Seeing the three Athenian soldiers nodding, Roy's expression changed from surprise to anger, and he clenched his hands into fists and said angrily.

"I gave the city of Sais to Andromeda, and she dared to betray my trust and leave without authorization——"

Roy got up and left his seat and said as he walked outside.

"I will go find Andromeda now, and I will leave the city of Atrebis to your management."

Hearing Roy's words, the three Athenian soldiers were frightened.

"Your Majesty, we are just three ordinary soldiers, how can we shoulder the important task of managing a city?"

Three Athenian soldiers ran to Roy and tried to persuade him to change his mind.

Roy said impatiently.

"I just ask you to manage a city with a population of 30,000. On average, one of you only needs to manage 10,000 people. As long as you manage it in accordance with the laws and policies of the Kingdom of Athens, I will not blame you if something goes wrong."

Seeing Roy's firm attitude, the three Athenian soldiers had no choice but to accept the burden of managing the city of Atrebis.

After leaving the city of Atrebis on a fast horse, Roy headed directly to the city of Avaris.

Because Roy could guess without thinking that Andromeda would leave Sais, she must have known that her father Cepheus was seriously injured on the battlefield.

Although it was understandable that his daughter was worried about her father, Roy still could not forgive Andromeda for betraying his trust.

Two hours later.

Roy's fast horse collapsed to the ground, and the gate of Avaris City appeared in front of Roy.

When night fell.

Roy entered Avaris City with the fast horse that had recovered his strength and went to Cepheus's palace.

Palace.

Because the soldiers guarding the gate still recognized Roy, Roy entered the palace smoothly.

After tying the horse to the lawn in the courtyard, Roy asked several palace maids for directions and soon came to the palace where Cepheus was recuperating.

When Roy walked into the palace, he saw Cepheus lying weakly on the big bed, and several priests were treating Cepheus's wounds.

Andromeda and her mother Cassiopeia cried and looked at Cepheus with worried eyes.

Cepheus's injury was a serious injury that could kill him even in the era of 3,600 years later.

In this era of backward medicine, Cepheus was able to survive because he had the tenacious life and strong body of a demigod hero.

Because this was a serious injury that was fatal to ordinary people, Andromeda and Cassiopeia were so worried.

Behind Andromeda and Cassiopeia stood Perseus and Phineus, who also looked at Cepheus with worried eyes.

Noticing Roy's arrival, Perseus turned around and looked at Roy in surprise.

"Roy - how did you come to Avaris?"

Roy seemed not to hear Perseus' words, and walked directly to Andromeda who turned around, and slapped Andromeda's face with his right hand.
