One to eighty!

What an exaggerated male-female ratio.

The citizens of the entire empire who are eligible to become clergy are about tens of thousands, and excluding most of them, the number is about 10,000.

As a result, the number of male priests was very small, probably a few hundred.

What's even more terrifying is that men's talent is also very weak compared to women's.

The upper limit of the strength of male clergy is the Golden Rank, and so far, there has been no male Sacred Domain Grand Priest in the Empire.

At the same time, there is a big difference between male clergy and female clergy.

Female clergy, the distribution of talent is reasonable, showing a typical pyramid type, the number of clergy at all levels can probably be estimated, of course, the future achievements are not completely according to talent, the supply of resources, actual combat drills, will cause unpredictable results.

This is not the case at all with male clergy. Their entire talent distribution is two-pointed.

On the one hand, there are a very small number of clergy, and these people are usually able to reach the Golden Rank, which is not inferior to most female clergy.

For example, Arley, and for example, Grand Priest Chenolte. But there are too few such people.

The vast majority of male clergy are extremely low-talent existences, they can't even break through the bronze rank, and they can only be the most ordinary priest for the rest of their lives.

Or, because of the peculiarities of men, they could not even be ordinary priests.

The Empire simply abandoned these people, because it was the best practice not to cultivate them compared to the resources expended for this small group of people.

Only in the era of the three great emperors in history did they cultivate them at any cost, and at that time they were all kinds of national wars, and what was needed was combat effectiveness in all aspects, even a little bit, and there was no more after that.

Anyway, Sachar knew that there were no low-level male clergy in the empire today.

"Evereya, these priests are all transferred from other provinces, right?" Saga asked in a low voice, standing beside Evelea.

"Yes, my lord, the province of Blago does not have perfect selection criteria, and it also lacks the basic conditions for selection. Everea replied in a low voice, "According to the Crystal Palace Document No. 172 signed by the Empire, the central provinces and the other three southern provinces will send some gifted maidens in proportion to each other every once in a while. ”

Saga nodded clearly, this situation did not come as a surprise to him.

The Emerald Empire has a systematic cultivation process for the temple priests.

First of all, you have to be a citizen to get this opportunity to be cultivated.

The Empire has set up a checkpoint in each city in each province.

All school-age girls and teenagers will take this test.

In fact, this test is mainly aimed at those who are talented, but not very talented.

Because it is easy to identify young people with outstanding clerical talents, in the years when they are growing up, as long as they have been to the temple, they will generally directly show their special talents.

Therefore, this test is mainly aimed at those priests who are at most bronze, that is, the lowest level of the temple system.

For these reasons, in order to save those resources, the detection of the talents of teenagers has been canceled over the years, and only the priesthood talents of the girls have been detected.

After these girls are found to have a talent for practicing divine arts, they will be incorporated into the temple preparation system.

Then the temples in each place will carry out a preliminary screening, which will take about a year. During this year, the truly gifted girls will be selected and incorporated into the temple system. As for the pseudo-talents, they will be sent home.

Next, the girls are sent to monasteries across the empire, where they are taught the art of the gods by a group of seniors, who are usually bronze-level priests.

In the temple, there are the Grand Priest of the Sanctuary, the Grand Priest of the Gold Rank, the Divine Officer of the Silver Rank, and the Priest Priest of the Bronze Rank.

This bronze rank is a special rank that has the function of connecting the previous and the next.

It has already entered the ranks, and it is the lowest level of the priest system, and it cannot be called a priest if it goes down.

At the same time, it also belongs to the first level of the priesthood - the special priest.

This is a temple within which the priests' magical prowess is ranked.

In general, the title of priest is slightly higher than that of priest.

Anyone in the entire temple system can be called a priest, such as the chief high priest, who can also be called the chief temple priest.

But the priest is not a title that anyone can use, only those above the bronze rank can use this title.

After these maidens entered the convent and became nuns, they were not really priests.

They waited until they had undergone a long period of training to meet the minimum standards set by the Empire before they could be awarded the title of priesthood.

To date, there are ten monasteries in the Empire, under the direct command of His Majesty the Chief Priest and the Archpriesthood of Cardinals.

"I don't know how many of these girls will return to their hometowns. Everea suddenly sighed leisurely.

Saga was silent for a moment, his eyes slightly darkened.

Ancient wars, feasts of physical strength and killing, should have made women walk away.

But the peculiarity of the big world of Lablar forced Saga to take these girls to the battlefield that was about to surge.

How can there be immortals in war, once this girl sets foot on the battlefield, I am afraid that it is the weakest link, and Sachar is not absolutely sure that she can protect them. It can only be said that it is trying not to cause fearless casualties.

"This requires us to work hard to let them bleed as little as possible, so that they can return safely, after all, this time is not long compared to the soldiers. Saga said softly.

"Hmm. Everea let out a nasal voice, she understood what Zachar meant.

The enlistment period for the soldiers of the empire was ten years, and of course this rule could not be placed on the priests as it was.

The Empire required Temple priests to serve for five years.

This time is not very long, this is the time when the empire has been investigated and can best reflect the combat power.

After all, men and women are very different.

Parents can accept that their son is not married in his thirties, but they absolutely cannot accept that their daughter is so old and not married.

After five years, the priests could return to their hometowns, get married, and have children, and these women were usually very popular.

Others went to work in temples or monasteries.

In short, as long as they can be discharged smoothly, they usually have a better ending.
