Chapter 605: Church Reformation and the Founding of the Nation

High Priests and the Re-establishment of the Kingdom......

Listening to Alice's words, Eve was thoughtful.

"Alice, have you ever thought about becoming the chief priest?"

He groaned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

Religious leaders are the spokesmen of the true God in the secular world.

Although Eve often interferes in the affairs of the church with the vest of Divine Favor Zero, his original intention is really only to have a body that can move freely and can deal with some problems that the elves cannot handle when they are not strong.

He didn't think about it, nor did he intend to be his own spokesperson.

Speaking of which, the true God originally appointed the pope, the pope, and the like to facilitate the spread and rule of his own faith, and the religious leader was the strongest "instrument" of the true God in managing the church.

If you are both a true God and a high priest, you can be honest...... That's not interesting.

It's completely self-seeking to find work for yourself, and it hurts to be idle.

It is better to directly issue an oracle to the symbolic saint in the identity of the true god to manipulate the church.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the difference between a saint and a religious leader.

If the religious leader is the spokesman of the true God, the supreme head and administrator of the Church, then the Holy Maiden is the direct communication between the true God and the Church.

While religious leaders can also receive oracles from the true God through prayer, they are generally far less close to the true God than the Holy Maiden.

This is because the saints of each church are chosen from among the most devout believers.

They may not have the skills of a religious leader to govern the church, but they can communicate directly with the true God and convey His guidance.

From this point of view, although the Holy Maiden is not a religious leader, as a being who can communicate directly with the true God, she has always had a transcendent position in the various churches.

They are almost equal to religious leaders and can even influence the decisions of the church.

This is normal, though.

The current management model of Eve's Life Church is actually "abnormal".

As a saint, Alice has become a toiling life running around, and even has the task of managing players.

And Eve, who wears the vest of the Divine Favor Zero, also faintly has the feeling of a religious leader in interfering in the affairs of the church again and again, and even has the shadow of a saint because she always issues oracles......

This is equivalent to the fact that the functions of the chief priest are almost shared between Alice and Eve, and Eve even steals some of the functions of the saints.

And because of Eve's strength and Alice's obedience, Eve's vest's status has become faintly higher......

In a word, it's chaos.

Now that Alice had mentioned the matter of the High Priest, Eve thought about it and felt that it was time to decide.

He was still very satisfied with Alice's work, and the identities of the saint and the religious leader did not coincide.

Eve has repeatedly intervened in church affairs before, because the inherent thinking of elves is sometimes too pedantic, and Eve needs to make some major decisions himself, and the game system is not yet perfect, and only Eve, who knows everything, can control the overall situation......

But now it's different.

The elves have changed subtly, the game system is gradually getting on the right track, and Eve can actually let go.

So after thinking about it, Eve had the heart to let Alice take care of everything.

After all, he has to slowly become behind the scenes, even if he is active with the vest of the gods, it is best to just act as a thug and a divine envoy!

Listening to Eve's words, Alice was slightly stunned.

She smiled bitterly, then shook her head:

"Master Zero, you think highly of me, as the church grows, I feel more and more unfit to be a manager."

"But aren't you doing a good job?"

Eve said.

"That's with you and the Chosen One."

Alice sighed.

After speaking, she paused, and her expression gradually became solemn:

"More importantly, the church is getting bigger and bigger, and I think it's time to rebuild the church system and organizational structure."

Is there a rebuilt church system and organizational structure......

Eve thought thoughtfully.

Since Eve's resurgence as the World Tree, although the church has been rebuilt and the elves have been gathered, they have not actually formed a complete organizational structure.

Although there are more and more priests in the Life Church, and a group of devout chief priests have been born, the management of the entire church and even the priesthood hierarchy are still quite chaotic.

Among other things, the functions of the priesthood, the criteria for promotion, and the management of believers are still in a relatively extensive management mode.

The only thing that has done well is the "Holy Book of Life" that players have renovated.

In fact, not only the church, but also the social organization of the elves, now presents a rather loose and chaotic state.

That is, with the cities of Fei Leng Cui and Kai Nolan as the center, they formed a kind of city-state settlements, and the management of the church or the elder elves was in charge of the usual, and there was no such powerful political entity as the state.

On the one hand, the reason for this situation is that the number of elves was too small before, and they did not have the ability or need to form such a perfect church organization and administrative organization; On the other hand, the appearance of the player has completely changed the social order and ecology of the Elven Forest......

When the number of elves is small and the size of the players is not large, a simple church organization and administrative structure can still maintain the operation of the entire elven forest, but with the increase in the number of elves and the influx of open beta players, it is gradually a little stretched.

The same is true of the previous Chosen City's excess population carrying capacity.

Eve's opening up of the new city to players is not only due to the supply of productivity in the Chosen City, but also because the existing church management cannot be sustained, and players need to spread out and spontaneously form a new management organization......

Thinking everything through, Eve said:

"So...... Do you mean that there is a need for a high priest and a further improvement of the church structure? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what I want to say, and I think you'll be up to the task."

Alice replied.

I?

I'll forget it, I just want to touch the fish.

Eve complained in her heart.

She groaned for a moment and said:

"The Church of Life does need to be reformed, but I have no intention of becoming a high priest."

"Why?"

Alice asked.

"Lazy."

Eve was succinct.

Alice:......

This...... Really speechless.

After a pause, Eve spoke again:

"What do you think...... How about Thrandil? ”

"Thrandil?"

Alice was slightly stunned.

She hesitated for a moment and said:

"Lord Thranduil has been getting too close to many female Chosen Ones lately, and there seems to be a subtle opinion about him in the clan......

After speaking, she lowered her head again, and said with some self-reproach:

"It's all my fault, I didn't teach him well, he seems to have been taught some strange knowledge by the Chosen One......"

Listening to Alice's words, Eve looked strange.

She also thought of the image she had seen when she delivered an oracle to a primordial elf being served by a group of female players of the Ying Ying Yan Yanyan.

The guy ...... It seems to be a little crooked.

The ability is not bad, but it is not like an elf in the traditional sense, but like a black dragon in the skin of an elf.

If Eve hadn't pinched out their GHS abilities as early as the first batch of players, this guy might have opened a harem among the players......

In a sense, it's quite spicy to the eyes.

After all, he is not a human, but an elf.

I'm afraid that I haven't been beaten by male players because of the NPC protection mechanism.

Let this guy be the chief priest, even if he has enough ability, he has to weigh it carefully.

Thrandeil no, Eve pondered for a moment, and another name appeared in her mind:

"And what do you think of Taylor?"

"Taylor?"

Alice was slightly stunned.

However, she soon remembered who Eve was talking about.

Taylor Rock Sand.

The first elf to purify the bloodline from the Oros Half-Plane, and the first Life Priest from the Oros Half-Plane.

His beliefs are extremely religious, and he is a fanatic believer in the goddess, and at the same time he does not have the stubborn thinking of traditional elves.

Not only that, although he is an elf from the half-plane, he has a great love for the elven culture, and after purifying his bloodline, he quickly became one with the elves of the half-plane of Seggs.

Now, he is already the chief priest who manages the Oros Half-Plane Life Church, and he manages the Oros Half-Plane Life Church in an orderly manner, and he is unexpectedly a natural managerial talent.

At this thought, Alice's heart fluttered.

The most important thing for a religious leader in a church is to have excellent management skills.

The candidate proposed by Master Zero is indeed good.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that his background is still too weak and his reputation is insufficient.

And to become the chief priest, you also need to have a certain prestige, so that you can convince the people.

"Taylor is indeed good, but his reputation within the clan does not seem to be enough to be a religious leader, and his strength is somewhat insufficient."

Alice thought for a moment and said.

Taylor's strength skyrocketed after becoming a true elf, but he had not yet become silver.

And among the elves in the Forest of Elves, there are already quite a few silver-rank elves.

"There is no problem with prestige and strength, as long as the True God Crown approves, everything can be solved, we only need to inform the True God Crown of the candidate, and the rest will naturally be decided by the True God Crown."

Eve said.

Alice was stunned, then nodded:

"Indeed, if the true god approves of it, it will not be a problem."

The more Eve thought about it, the more she felt that Taylor was good, and at this moment, she had almost decided in her heart that it was the other party.

But it's the kind and simple elves who can do that.

If it were to be replaced by other intelligent races, "outsiders" like Taylor would not be accepted as leaders of the faith at all.

"Then Taylor, I will report this matter to the Goddess Crown, and everything will be decided by the Crown."

Eve said.

Alice had no objections.

The Holy Maiden of Life thought for a moment and said:

"In addition, I think that the system of the former natural church is not suitable for the current elven forest, the emergence of the Chosen has changed the composition of the church, if the church is reformed, I think that on the basis of the original church, a new mechanism suitable for ordinary elves and the chosen one should be explored."

"The Chosen ones are very capable, and I think we can gather the Chosen ones in the form of a mission as before, and optimize the existing model on the basis of the existing church structure."

Eve nodded approvingly, and at the same time secretly said in her heart that Alice's way of speaking was becoming more and more blue-star.

"It is indeed a good way to involve the Chosen One, the previous "Sacred Book of Life" is good, but this matter still needs to be reported to the Goddess Crown, and only the Goddess Crown can mobilize the enthusiasm of the Chosen One to the greatest extent."

Eve said.

"That's what I thought too."

Alice smiled sweetly.

Eve nodded and said:

"So be it, the second thing is decided, as for the founding of the country...... Our current population is far from enough, but it can be taken into account in advance. ”

Those elven half-plane humans, Eve will sooner or later purify them all, and this speed will only get faster and faster, so although the population of the elven race is not large now, it will definitely increase explosively in the future.

Ideally, it would even reach nearly three million.

And players, that's even more.

In Eve's opinion, the player can also be counted as a population.

"Elven Country" is running well in Blue Star, she has long planned to operate for a long time, and is even ready to pull souls willing to be reincarnated in another world to the world of Seggs to reshape their bodies and become real elves after the player's death.

Of course, the hundreds of thousands of players on the Blue Star have not yet died, as for whether players retain their memories after they die, and whether other restrictions are added to retain them, that's another story.

But one thing is certain, with the development of the Elven Forest and the crooked growth of Thrandil, Eve feels that the Elves really want to restore the country, in fact, there is no need to build a "kingdom" as before.

Historically, the elven kingdom was established spontaneously by the elven royal family, with royal power as the center, and it was a natural church that first had an elven kingdom and then spontaneously believed in the world tree, and was recognized by its predecessors, and finally formed the well-known elven civilization.

But the situation is still different now.

Religion and kingship have always been antagonistic and mutually reinforcing.

Eve didn't think deeply about it before, but now that I think about it, for the true God, the **** country is actually the best.

Of course, this is not absolute.

It's like the human world, there are many gods, there are many churches, and it is impossible for the whole family to be a single ****.

Even if there were, it was only a small human nation.

It's just that who made the elves believe in only one true god, Eve?

This is the best soil for the **** of the family!

Not only that, but in the case of Eve connecting the game system with the faith network, the **** system is also conducive to him to better control the player.

Of course, all of this will not be considered until the church system is further improved.

Thinking of this, Eve said:

"Words of the founding of the country...... Let's finish the church reform first, and when the population is larger, we will pray to the goddess and ask for an oracle. ”
