Chapter 427 Aphrodite Accepts the Proposal

In the history and mythology of another world, the priestess who served the gods was an existence that could not be desecrated.

If the priestess was desecrated, not only the man who desecrated the priestess would be punished, but also the priestess who lost her purity would be punished.

But the king was obviously an exception.

Whether in history or mythology, there are many examples of priestesses marrying kings.

Obviously, the king was regarded as a demigod or even a god, so the king had the privilege of desecrating the priestess.

Even if ordinary people prayed devoutly in the temple, they would probably not get a response from the gods.

But in the mythology of another world, when Orestes was hunted by the goddess of vengeance for committing the crime of killing his mother, Orestes came to the temple of Athena to pray for help. Athena not only responded to Orestes, but also came to Orestes in person to stop the goddess of vengeance from hurting Orestes.

Athena came to Orestes in person, of course not because Orestes moved the goddess Athena with his piety when he first came to the Temple of Athena.

It was just because Orestes was the king of Mycenae, the overlord of the Peloponnese Peninsula.

If it were an ordinary person, no matter how devoutly he prayed, it would be impossible for the goddess Athena to come in person.

At this time, in the Temple of Aphrodite in the main city of Tyre.

The goddess Aphrodite came in person and appeared in front of Roy and Hiran.

This is obviously because Roy is the emperor of the Athenian Empire, the overlord of the Mediterranean, and Hiran is also the king of Tyre City favored by Aphrodite.

"Great goddess Aphrodite!"

Hiran was obviously surprised that the goddess Aphrodite came in person, and he said with surprise and joy.

"We came to you in the hope that you can witness the promise of His Majesty the Emperor. If His Majesty the Emperor and his descendants break their promise, you have the right to punish them."

"I already know everything."

Aphrodite smiled brightly at Hiran, then looked at Roy and asked.

"Do you want to guarantee the validity of your promise under my witness and give me the power to punish you?"

"Yes!"

Roy nodded calmly.

"I have no intention of breaking my promise, great goddess Aphrodite, you can always witness my promise."

After listening to Roy's words, Aphrodite smiled and said to Hiran.

"Hiran! Since your business is over, you can leave."

"Huh?"

Hiran left the temple full of doubts, not understanding why Aphrodite drove him away but kept Roy.

After Roy, Aphrodite and two priestesses were left in the temple, Aphrodite stared at Roy with the eyes of a lioness staring at her prey and smiled.

"Now you have so many girls around you, and none of them have the idea of ​​betraying you. The blessing I gave you has a great contribution. How do you plan to repay me?"

"Blessing? What you gave me is obviously a curse!"

Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"If I don't become stronger and stronger in the shortest time, these girls falling in love with me will only bring me trouble."

"But you can't deny that you enjoy the loyalty of these girls."

Aphrodite said jokingly.

"If you are dissatisfied with my blessing, I can take it back. You can see how many girls around you will love you as deeply as you do now without my blessing."

In the myth of another world, when the Trojan prince Paris was alive, because he had the blessing of Aphrodite, Helen was willing to abandon her husband and daughter for Paris.

But after Paris died, Helen was no longer affected by Aphrodite's blessing, and she immediately became the wife of Paris' brother Deiphobus.

Helen, who once abandoned her husband and daughter for Paris, seemed to have completely forgotten her love for Paris from the moment Paris died - Aphrodite's blessing no longer affected her, and she had no attachment to Paris.

Roy certainly believed that even if Aphrodite's blessing disappeared, the girls around him would not leave.

Because only by staying with the emperor of Athens can they become the noblest women in the world and give birth to the noblest princes and princesses in the world.

But Roy did not intend to test whether their love for him was true or false.

"Goddess Aphrodite, I don't like to return things given to me by others. If you want to do something unnecessary, I will push your statue off the throne."

"Oh - you actually threatened me with pushing down the statue. It seems that you care about my blessing very much."

Aphrodite smiled charmingly and bewitched.

"I will not take away the blessing I gave you, and I can correct my blessing so that you can control the effect of the blessing. Before, you could not control my blessing, and even if the woman you hated kept in contact with you, she would fall hopelessly in love with you. But now that you can control the effect of the blessing, only the girls you actively approach will be charmed by my blessing and fall in love with you."

"What price do I need to pay?"

"I heard that you generously gave Persephone a territory of 200,000 square kilometers and made her the head of the gods on the Apennine Peninsula. I also want to own a large territory and become the head of the gods who rule the gods."

"Your blessing is not worth that much."

Roy said jokingly.

"If you are willing to marry me, I will consider meeting your request."

"Let me marry you--"

Aphrodite frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"This request is too much! I am the most powerful and well-known goddess in the Mediterranean world. With the Phoenician trade bases spread all over the southern coast of the Mediterranean, I have a foothold in half of the Mediterranean world."

"The Egyptian, Libyan, Tunisian, Algerian, and Moroccan regions on the southern coast of the Mediterranean do have Phoenician trade bases. But this does not mean that these areas are your territory! You may be the most well-known goddess in the Mediterranean world, but the strongest goddess in the Mediterranean world is completely your self-proclaimed."

"Then can you make these areas my territory? As long as you can make these areas my territory, I will consider marrying you."

"Do I look like a fool?"

Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"These areas add up to more than 5 million square kilometers. Even if I suppress you and force you to marry me, I can't be crazy enough to use 5 million square kilometers of territory to win your favor."

"How stingy."

Aphrodite said like a spoiled child.

"Most of these areas are deserts, and you are not willing to give them to me."

"I can give you the Sinai Peninsula, Cyprus Island, and Sicily Island as a proposal gift. Together with the Phoenician region, you will have more than 130,000 square kilometers of territory. Do you want to accept my proposal or reject it?"

"130,000 square kilometers... Will you give me more territory when we get married?"

"Of course! When we get married, I will give you a larger territory with more fertile and rich land."

Aphrodite's eyes lit up and finally nodded.

"Then I will accept your proposal! The proposal gift and the wedding gift add up to more than 300,000 square kilometers of my territory, and you must ensure that my territory is fertile and rich."
