Chapter Seventy-Four: The Temple

Saga came out of the government hall and went straight to the temple in Prague.

The area of the temple is not small, so naturally it cannot be built in the middle of the city.

The groom raised his whip high in his hand and controlled the carriage to run towards the west of the city.

The wheels scurried around the ground, and Saga pondered about the temple system in the middle of the carriage.

The blessing of Tosu Aaron, Zachar was very familiar with the temple system.

The temple system of the Emerald Empire, in terms of the verticality of the power structure, is not much better than the military system.

They have an unusually distinct hierarchical system.

The highest status in the entire empire is naturally a nineteenth-level giant under the crown of the chief god. In the entire empire, in terms of position, it is second only to the prime minister of the empire, and the rank of deputy prime minister, the grand governor of the border, and the chief senator of the senate are the same.

And because the position of prime minister is not long, the great governor of the border guards the frontier. Usually the deputy prime minister, the chief senator of the Senate, and the chief priest are called the three giants of the central empire, and Xuan He's power can be seen.

The Chief Priest is usually the pinnacle powerhouse of the Holy Domain, under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, he controls the entire temple system of the entire empire, and holds a supreme artifact of the empire in his hand.

Below the Chief Priest is the Cardinal Archpriest, and among the twenty levels of officials after the reform of the Empire, they are ranked the seventeenth and sixteenth level of higher existence.

The Emerald Empire currently has twelve main gods, and correspondingly, there are twelve main temples in the pantheon.

These twelve cardinals are the masters of the twelve main shrines. Each of the main temples enshrined a powerful artifact, an important symbol used by the cardinal archpriests to distinguish them from the members of the temple below.

It is said that the twelve artifacts can form a divine array that destroys the heavens and the earth. Even the same number of Great Magus could not have set up a more powerful magic array, but no one had ever seen it.

Cardinal archpriests are the high-end combat power of the temple, and there are usually some cardinal archpriests who break through to the level of the holy realm, and this kind of person can add the word "holy" in front of their names.

The temple used to have a very powerful cavalry, known as the Holy Knights, but then it suddenly disappeared, and no one knows why. What's even more puzzling is that the big names in the temple haven't rebuilt the knights again. The current Knights of the Templars are actually a trick, with great limitations, and they are no longer the same.

Below the cardinal is the true pillar of the Imperial Temple, the Cardinal Archpriest!

After the reorganization of the empire, officials ranked sixteenth, fifteenth, and fourteenth.

The number of red-clothed great priests is not small, almost all of those great gods have red-clothed great priests in their temples, and there are even more red-clothed great priests in the temples of the main gods. There are many veteran red-clothed priests who are even stronger than many cardinals in terms of strength and experience.

Of course, the cardinal archpriest has the assistance of an artifact, and his combat power is not at all comparable to that of ordinary red-clothed archpriests.

In addition to the red-clothed chief priest in the imperial capital, the empire also arranged a red-clothed chief priest in each province, and the red-clothed chief priest in these provinces was higher than many of the great priests in the imperial capital in terms of status. Moreover, in comparison, the red-clothed priests in the province are in power, and they are even more majestic.

The red-clothed archpriests in these provinces are almost all top masters of the Golden Rank, and they are one of the great helpers of the Imperial Province's foreign wars.

If Saga was just an ordinary war against an encounter, the red-clothed priest would naturally not take action himself. But once Zachar asks the entire province to fully support him in a war against conquest, the Cardinal Archpriest will lead the entire province of the temple members into the army and be dispatched.

Below the red-clothed Grand Priest is the city-level white-clothed Grand Priest, which should be regarded as the lowest level of the Imperial Temple System Divine Priest System, which is crowned with a "big" official position. The rank of the position ranges from the fourteenth to the twelfth level, mainly depending on the size of the city where the temple is located.

There are temples in every city of the empire, and the first position of the provincial capital of the province is the red-clothed great priest, and there is no other city-level white-clothed great priest. The temples in these provinces are usually dedicated to the twelve main gods of the empire and some of the traditional local deities. After all, it is impossible to require every city in the empire to build a pantheon in the style of the Emerald Capital, and the cost is so huge that even if the empire is sold, it cannot be built.

Prague City is just an ordinary city, naturally without exception, and countless cities in the empire, there is a magnificent temple, a red-clothed priest is stationed here, leading the entire Prague province of the white-clothed priest and many sacrifices, nuns, it is still the imperial official system has not changed, the red-clothed priest is one of the five heads of the province, the status is noble, the power is overwhelming.

Moreover, even if the empire later carried out official reforms and the five major systems were disrupted and reorganized, the red-clothed priest of Prague Province was still one of the fifteenth-level senior officials.

Moreover, the temple system has a characteristic that other systems do not have at all, that is, professionalism, which brings relative closure.

The temple system is arguably the most closed system in the entire empire, with almost no movement of personnel from other systems.

Just like the military system and the government affairs system, although the two are hostile to each other, in fact, the circulation between the two sides is very large. Many of the consuls in the government system are staff officers of the military system, or even a general who has led troops to war.

As for the military system, not to mention, the ancient Celestial Empire had a class super Ban Dingyuan to throw a pen from Rong, and the Jade Empire has never lacked such people, especially the existence of vindictiveness, many political officials who look weak can actually tear tigers and leopards alive, which enhances the mobility between civil and military officials.

But this is not the case with the temple system, and the main reason is that the temple system is too professional.

Sachar is extremely talented and can do almost anything, whether it is a military officer, a political officer, or even a law enforcement officer and a prosecutor, Sachar is confident that nothing will go wrong.

But the temple system really can't be done, it stands to reason that the law enforcement system and the inspection system also have a certain degree of professionalism, but those are all cultural knowledge of professionalism.

But the temple system is different from the whole system, the difference between fighting spirit and divine power, the learning of divine arts, and the secrets of the gods.

It's just too much......
