Chapter 362 Write Your Name on the Marriage Certificate
After night fell.
The wedding banquet in the palace ended, and most of the guests returned to their homes in Athens.
Only Hippolyta, Phyllis, Hippodamia and Callisto, who lived in the guest rooms of the palace, remained in the palace.
Roy came to the Temple of Metis alone, and saw Procne and Philomela sitting at the feet of the statue of Metis waiting for him in the candlelit temple.
"Brother Roy!"
Seeing Roy's figure, Procne and Philomela immediately ran to Roy, and Procne asked with a nervous look.
"Do we really... want to use the Temple of Metis as a wedding room?"
Philomela followed.
"After all, the goddess Metis is an unmarried virgin goddess. Is it a blasphemy to the goddess that we become husband and wife in front of the goddess Metis?"
In the Roman mythology of another world, the sea god Neptune once occupied a priestess in the temple of the moon goddess Minerva.
Because the moon goddess Minerva was a virgin goddess who was confused with Pallas Athena, Neptune and the priestess became husband and wife in the Minerva Temple, which was regarded as blasphemy by the moon goddess Minerva.
The moon goddess Minerva could not punish the sea god Neptune, so she cursed the priestess who was obviously the victim and turned her into a snake-haired demon.
This is the origin of the snake-haired demon Medusa in Roman mythology.
Recalling the story of the priestess being cursed by the goddess for blasphemy, Roy smiled confidently and said.
"Even if this is blasphemy, what can our goddess Metis do? She has only been the patron saint for half a year, and her authority as a god is far less powerful than my kingship. If the goddess Metis wants to punish us, I don't mind driving her off the throne and making her a wandering goddess as destitute as Artemis."
Buzz buzz buzz——
The statue of Metis suddenly vibrated strongly, as if expressing Metis' dissatisfaction.
After a while, the statue of Metis quieted down. It was obvious that Metis decided to tolerate Roy's blasphemous behavior of the goddess.
While ordering the palace maid to move the big bed, Roy took Procne and Philomela to the table at the foot of the statue of Metis, picked up the paper and pen on the table and wrote.
Marriage certificate.
July 1, the first year of the Kingdom of Athens.
Roy married Procne and Philomela.
My signature - Roy.
"Procne! Philomela! Although we have become husband and wife under the witness of gods and guests, I not only want people now to know that you are Roy's wife, but also let people thousands of years later know that you are my wife. Let's complete this marriage certificate together and keep it in the Temple of Metis!"
Let people thousands of years later know that you are my wife -
After listening to Roy's words, Procne and Philomela were moved.
"Brother Roy..."
When Procne wrote her signature on the marriage certificate, Philomela couldn't help but say.
"It would be nice if my sister and I were the only wives of Roy."
Although this is an era where men can have many women, love is selfish after all.
Just because Procne and Philomela can accept sharing a husband with their sisters who love each other, it doesn't mean they can accept sharing their husbands with other girls.
After Philomela wrote her signature on the marriage certificate, Roy stretched out his hands and hugged the two of them.
"Procne! Philomela! I will make glass in the future and keep our marriage certificate in a frame. I can't be the husband of just the two of you, and I feel sorry for you."
After a group of palace maids moved the big bed, Roy drove the palace maids out, leaving only Roy, Procne and Philomela in the Temple of Metis.
Plocne and Philomela couldn't help but resist when they were pulled towards the big bed by Roy.
"Brother Roy, this is really bad, let's go back to the palace!"
"Brother Roy, I can feel that the goddess Metis is very angry, it's not too late to regret now."
Roy said with a tough smile.
"If Metis comes to me now and says she is willing to marry me, I will stop blaspheming her."
Acropolis of Athens.
Artemis brought Calypso to the outside of the Temple of Metis, and said with a gloating smile.
"It won't be long before the news that Metis was blasphemed by the King of Athens will spread throughout the Kingdom of Athens. Without thousands of years of accumulating authority, the divine power of the gods will be suppressed by the royal power of humans."
"Are you laughing at me?"
Accompanied by the angry voice of Metis, Metis appeared in front of Artemis in the form of a human girl and said with a sneer.
"No matter how much he blasphemes me, he still worships me as the patron saint of Athens, the capital of the Kingdom of Athens. In this era, the patron saint of the capital is usually worshipped as the guardian of the country. In other words, I will become the Queen of the Gods of the Kingdom of Athens in the future. Considering the benefits that Roy can bring to me, it is nothing to endure his blasphemy. If you have the opportunity to become the Queen of the Gods from a wandering god who is about to fall, even if you are asked to marry Roy now, do you dare to say that you will refuse?"
From a wandering god on the verge of falling to the Queen of the Gods of the Kingdom of Athens--
Artemis certainly cannot refuse such a condition.
After all, the development potential of the Kingdom of Athens proves that the Kingdom of Athens will soon become the world's number one power.
Becoming the Queen of the Gods of the Kingdom of Athens means becoming the most powerful god in the world.
Not to mention wandering gods, even the patron saints with thrones would be willing to marry Roy, a human, in order to become the most powerful god in the world.
"Metis! Are you going to just tolerate his blasphemy?"
"Artemis, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If I have a conflict with Roy, or even get kicked off the throne by him, you'll have the chance to replace me as the patron saint of Athens."
Metis sneered.
"Human life span is only a few decades. As long as I can survive until Roy dies, I can use the increasingly powerful divine power to suppress the future king of the Kingdom of Athens. After hundreds of years, I can let my priests tamper with history and mythology, delete those historical and mythological records in which Roy blasphemed me, and let Roy become the king of Athens who served the goddess Metis like a son in history and mythology."
"Aren't you worried that he will become a god?"
"Even if he becomes a hero god, so what? When he is a human, he can still suppress me with human royal power. When he becomes a hero god, he will speak with strength in the world of gods. The so-called hero god-"
Metis looked at Calypso beside Artemis and said.
"I'm afraid that the hero god can't even defeat Calypso beside you-the weakest god."
Artemis shook her head and said.
"What I mean is, aren't you worried that he will become a real god?"
"How is that possible?"
Metis said with a firm face.
"Humans becoming gods like us - that has never happened in history. It's already amazing that he can become a hero god."
Calypso looked at the Temple of Metis and suddenly asked a question that made Metis and Artemis' eyes widen.
"If Roy could become a real god, would he want to become the king of the gods of the Kingdom of Athens?"
