Chapter 48: The Clergy
Village Chief Wang Rongcai also echoed on the side: "Yes, yes, this child is the first child born in our village by Teacher Wang, and he should be named after Teacher Wang."
Wang Xiaode was stopped by Liu Dehuan and didn't know what was going on at first, it turned out that he was calling himself a name. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't have enough education in a big city, but I didn't expect to be treated like an ancient private school here.
Wang Xiaode is also very excited about the name, how big he is and has never given a name. Most people only have a chance when their children are born. I can't imagine that I have it now.
"Okay, I want to think about it, I want to think about it" Wang Xiaode immediately agreed and began to meditate. Wang Xiaode looked at the surrounding environment, looked at Liu Dehuan, looked at the house, and finally his eyes fell on the mountains in the distance. Then he said: "I hope this child will not be trapped in the mountains in the future, I want this child to rush out of the mountains like a swallow and fly freely outside." Just call her Liu Yan."
"Liu Yan, Liu Yan, good name, good name. I believe that this child will be able to break out of the mountains in the future. Definitely. Wang Rong muttered a few times, felt good, and praised it vigorously.
"Since I have chosen the name of this child, I can't be too stingy. I have a piece of gadget that I carved in my spare time, and it has been turned on, so it can be regarded as a talisman. I gave it to Liu Yan, the girl. Wang Xiaode took out a small jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Liu Dehuan.
It's just that Liu Dehuan didn't know that this was carved by Wang Xiaode with jade, and it was also a real magic weapon that had been opened, which had the effect of concentrating the heart, nourishing the soul, and dispelling evil spirits. It's slightly better than the jade for the jewelry store.
This is the result of Wang Xiaode's continuous progress in cultivation. Naturally, Wang Xiaode also left a little bit of medium-grade and slightly more inferior things in the store in the past. It's just a bit calming and calming.
"Thank you, thank you so much. I'll personally send you red eggs when I get back. Liu Dehuan didn't know the efficacy and cost of the magic weapon, so he only thought it was half of the slightly valuable thing, so he happily took it.
When Wang Xiaode heard that Liu Dehuan was going to give him red eggs, he almost thought that he was talking about red pills. His head shook and reacted, but he was still worried and said goodbye and left.
Wang Xiaode's next class is to attend classes during the day and spend the night in the other world, but most of the time is still spent on cultivation, and only half of the time is spent dealing with territorial government affairs, as well as some necessary passers-by.
Day after day, the sun rises and sets, and half a year has passed, and Wang Xiaode's cultivation has progressed rapidly, and he has reached the threshold of breaking through the foundation building realm.
On this night, Wang Xiaode, who felt that he could break through the realm, came to the backyard of Mount Tai Palace, which was constantly reinforced and transformed by Wang Xiaode. The aura is extremely abundant, and it is in the center of the territory, even if it breaks through the cultivation and has a little aura fluctuation. No one would dare to come in and investigate.
There are also guards guarding the periphery of the backyard, and ordinary people can't get in at all. Wang Xiaode can actually do something more perfect, but that will cause unnecessary trouble, and the earth's aura is thin, so it can't support Wang Xiaode to break through the realm at all.
Once Wang Xiaode breaks through to the Foundation Building Realm this time, he will be about the same strength as a first-level mage in this world. In the early stage of foundation building, it may not be as good as some powerful first-level mages, but in the middle of foundation building, it can already be tied with the strong among them, and in the later stage, it is almost a sure win, even in the face of second-level mages, without using hole cards, there is no problem in saving life.
The strength of a first-level mage is equivalent to the strength of a priest, and the standard configuration of a viscount is the appearance of a first-level mage and a priest.
In this world, the clergy are divided into roughly 7 classes, with exceptions. The weakest were the priests' apprentices, followed by priests, deacons, official priests, chief priests, high priests, and popes.
Priest apprentices can generally be placed in some barony as local bishops as long as they know a blessing and healing technique. He was in charge of the local missionary affairs and could have a simple church in the local area.
Their combat effectiveness is almost zero. But whoever is not good to him will be labeled blasphemy by the temple and will be hunted down by the temple from then on. Therefore, despite their weak strength, their status is not low, and they are closer to the believers.
Priests are generally promoted from apprentices through constant prayer and the study of divine arts, and in addition to the basic low-level divine techniques such as blessing and healing, they also have more advanced group blessings and advanced healing techniques.
The effect of these advanced healing techniques is better than that of the apprentice's healing techniques, which usually only heal superficial wounds, while healing techniques can completely heal some external injuries, and more importantly, can already involve some combat magic techniques, and can barely achieve self-preservation.
The best of them were sent to some of the viscounties to take charge of missionary affairs, and had the hard task of teaching a sufficient number of priest apprentices.
Priests, on the other hand, generally try to be promoted to a higher level of deacons after completing the hard task of teaching apprentices, and once they become deacons, they do not have to stay in the church, but can go to the local temple to serve, and they already have a certain amount of power to assist the church warriors in battle.
Their combat power is not bad, they are the seeds of becoming official priests, and they are also very mobile, they can be sent wherever they are needed, and they can be used as a missionary bishop or as a combat force. He was even in charge of some of the internal affairs of the temple. Therefore, the temple often gathers these auxiliary sacrifices and cultivates them intensively.
The next level of deafency was the official priesthood, the best of whom usually served as the temple bishop of the county, and not alone. Possessing a powerful divine skill for combat, it can release a large-scale group auxiliary divine art, which has a great effect on the improvement of the church's combat power.
And they are usually equipped with multiple auxiliary priests, who can briefly communicate with the gods and feel the presence of the gods. Historically, there have been instances of official priests receiving oracles from the gods themselves, but the odds are very small.
The priest is followed by the chief priest, and the good ones usually serve as the missionary affairs of the marquis, dukes, and are more powerful and are the most important cornerstone of the whole church. It's already at the top of the entire church. And being able to be exiled to become a local bishop is equivalent to a prince. And the priest who becomes a bishop often has several assistants of the same rank around him.
High Priest: Usually in charge of specific matters within the church, such as judgments, missions, finances, etc. They usually stay with the pope at the church headquarters, in the center. The oracles of the gods are generally received by the High Priest and the Pope.
The power of these high priests is already very strong, they have stepped into the realm of legends, and they have the realm of legends, which is not comparable to the main priests, and the number of high priests of a church is often not a few.
Not to mention the power of the Pope, whose strength is comparable to that of a demigod. If it's not for the status limit, there is a chance to become a god.
