Chapter 5 I come from the far east

Although she is over thirty years old, Pandion's wife still maintains her beauty and looks like a young woman in her twenties.

Roy smiled and nodded to Pandion's wife, then looked at the Pandion couple's three children.

Their son was a handsome boy about eighteen years old, wearing simple linen clothes like his father Pandion. At this time, he was also looking at Roy, a foreigner, with curious eyes.

Their eldest daughter is a beautiful girl about sixteen years old. Like her mother, she wears a dress made of white cotton and a purple shawl on her shoulders.

Their youngest daughter is about fifteen years old, wearing the same style of clothes as her sister, with a red shawl draped on her shoulders.

The two beautiful girls not only inherited their mother's beauty, but they also outdid each other. Standing together, they looked like two beautiful elves.

When Roy looked at the two girls, the younger sister whispered to the older sister.

"Sister! Should we cover our faces in front of strangers?"

After saying that, he pulled up the shawl on his shoulders to cover his shy little face.

The elder sister patted her younger sister's little hand and said.

"Strangers have seen our faces, it's too late to cover them now."

The two girls seemed not to want their faces to be seen by a strange man. Roy lowered his head proactively and admired the beautiful ankles of the two girls without shoes under their long skirts.

At this time, Roy noticed that the floor of Pandion's stone house was not only made of polished stone slabs, but also the courtyard was paved with polished stone slabs, so none of Pandion's family members wore shoes.

"Dear wife!"

Pandion, standing next to Roy, gave instructions to his beautiful wife.

"The soldiers who are patrolling with me today must be given more food as a reward. Priest Luo is my most distinguished guest. Let the servants slaughter a cow and take out my treasured wine. I will entertain Luo with the highest etiquette.

Yi Priest.”

After ordering his wife, Pandion walked to a stone bench and sat down. Two young and beautiful maids immediately knelt beside Pandion and helped him take off his straw sandals.

Pandion walked barefoot to his family, and when he saw Roy still standing there, he smiled and said.

"Priest Roy! Take off your shoes and enter the room quickly!"

"oh!"

Roy followed Pandion's example and walked to the stone bench and sat down. Just when Roy was about to take off his shoes, the two maids from before knelt beside Roy again and were about to help Roy take off his shoes.

Roy hurriedly pushed their hands away and said.

"Don't be like this, I don't need your service."

The two maids failed to complete the task of taking off the guests' shoes, with uneasy expressions on their faces and still kneeling beside Roy.

It wasn't until Roy took off his sneakers that the two maids took Roy's shoes and stood up to leave.

Although Roy took off his shoes, he still had socks on his feet.

When Roy walked to Pandion, Pandion's wife couldn't help but ask.

"Dear Priest Roy, what are you wearing on your feet? It looks like... a kind of clothing made of cotton..."

"Madam, you have such good taste. I am indeed wearing cotton socks."

Roy pulled up his pants and introduced.

"Socks are a kind of clothing worn on the feet to protect the feet from insects or small animals. The length of the socks can cover the ankles or the knees. Young and beautiful girls wear socks that cover the knees.

Stockings will make them look more beautiful and attractive."

After speaking, Roy looked at Pandion's two daughters.

If these two lovely and beautiful girls like elves are bewitched by their own words, the way they look in stockings is worth looking forward to.

Seeing Roy staring at his daughters, Pandion's wife said with an unhappy expression.

"Can't an old woman like me wear the stockings you mentioned?"

Roy said hurriedly.

"Of course a beautiful woman like Madam can also wear stockings, and she will be very charming, which can increase the relationship between Madam and Chief Pandion as a couple."

After Pandion's wife showed a satisfied smile, Pandion immediately pulled Roy into the stone house.

In the spacious hall of the stone house, there are several stone tables for eating.

Pandion took Roy to sit down at the stone table in the middle. Pandion's son and two daughters followed him and sat down next to him. Pandion said to Roy.

"Priest Loy! Let me introduce you now, this is my eldest son Erechtheus, and these are my two daughters Procne and Philomela."

Roy looked at the three brothers and sisters and said.

"Prince Erechtheus! Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! I am Roy, the priest who serves Metis, the goddess of wisdom. I am glad to meet you."

"Hahahaha……"

Hearing Roy calling herself a princess, Philomela couldn't help but smile.

"You think my sister and I are princesses, and you think your brother is a prince?"

Roy said with a smile.

"The Athenian tribe, with a population of five thousand, is equivalent in size to a small or medium-sized city-state. As the noble son and daughter of leader Pandion, your status is indeed equivalent to that of a prince and princess."

"What a eloquent foreigner."

Erechtheus commented expressionlessly.

At this moment, a group of maids brought the clay pots containing wine and bread and placed them on the stone table in front of Roy.

The drinking utensil is also a pottery cup with a large mouth.

After the maids filled the pottery cups with wine, Pandion picked up a glass of wine and said.

"Priest Roy! It will take some time for my servants to prepare the barbecue and oatmeal. Let's drink wine and eat bread first!"

"As a guest, I fully comply with the host's arrangements."

After speaking, Roy held up the earthenware cup and drank the wine.

Although Roy wasn't very hungry yet, his throat was indeed thirsty.

After drinking glasses of wine and Roy appeared drunk, Pandion suddenly asked.

"Priest Roy! Can you tell us where you are from and what is the purpose of coming to our Athenian tribe?"

"The East...I am from the East..."

Roy pointed to the east and said.

"I come from the far east, far far east. It is the Phoenician region ruled by the Phoenicians, and further east than the Mesopotamia ruled by the Babylonians. The purpose of my coming to the Athenian tribe is to

Convince you to honor the goddess of wisdom and make Metis, the great goddess of wisdom, the patron saint of the Athenian tribe."

"The east that is further away than the Phoenician region and Mesopotamia...is it the legendary Indian region?"

Even if Pandion was the leader of the Athenian tribe, he could not imagine that the east that Roy mentioned was even further away than the legendary Indian region.

After hearing Loy's words about asking the Athenian tribe to worship the goddess of wisdom, Erechtheus asked Pandion.

"Father! Shall we accept gods brought by strangers?"

Pandion said with a faint smile.

"Letting a real god become the patron saint of the Athenian tribe may allow our Athenian tribe to develop better."
