Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Temple Priesthood (2)
"Lord Chenolte, I wonder if the temple priests who will be assigned to the legion are ready?" asked Zaga.
"It's alright, you two come with me. Grand Priest Chenolt nodded and said.
Then he turned and walked towards the end of the hallway, where Sachar and Evelรฉa hurriedly followed.
"Everea, didn't the Lord tell you?" Saga asked in a low voice with some doubts, "These are the subordinates you will directly lead in the future, and I haven't asked your opinion?"
Evereya understood Sagar's thoughts after a moment, probably because of her uncle's actions, and it didn't look like she was consulting herself, so she had this problem.
Thinking of this, Evereya immediately whispered back: "Don't worry, I've been here for a while, and I'm familiar with the priests in the entire temple, I mean, I'm very familiar with their strengths and weaknesses. โ
"When the time comes, I will directly bring a few of the best priests, and there will be no problem in managing a legion's brigade of priests. Everea said something roughly.
"Well, that's good. Saga nodded, relieved himself, and silently followed the Grand Priest Chenolte into a large hall.
It was a very large hall, and because there were no statues of gods in the temple, it was very large, and the interior roof of the hall was so high that Sachar even wondered if there would be an echo.
The hall was not empty at the moment, for in the center of the hall were hundreds of people sitting in a neat row, chanting in unison.
Sachar looked intently at the front row of the many priests, and at the top of the row were four older priests, who looked to be forty years old. The strength is relatively weak, otherwise with the characteristics of the temple system, the stronger the strength, the slower the aging, and it will not look so old.
Behind them, there were more than a hundred neatly arranged people, all of them women, all of them in their twenties, and they all looked virtuous and quiet.
All of them were dressed in white, which was the priest's robe issued by the temple, and they looked quite fluttering, and they were full of a sense of sacredness.
At this moment, the three of Chenolt, Sachar, and Everea walked in together, and everyone did not move at all, still muttering the outline of the divine chapter of the laws of the Emerald Empire.
The Grand Priest of Chenolte walked up to the priests and clapped his hands vigorously, and the voices in the temple disappeared at once.
All the priests looked up at Grand Priest Chenolt, and then the four older priests in the lead stood up with all the priests, and the four of them saluted respectfully: "Lord Chenolte is well, may the merciful gods bless you." โ
The four of them fell, and all the other priests bowed in unison, and their crisp voices resounded through the hall: "Your Excellency, may the merciful gods bless you"
"May the gods bless you as well. Grand Priest Chenolta bowed slightly.
After the people had finished saluting, they all stood up straight.
Saga finally saw the front of these girls and couldn't help but admire.
It is worthy of being the temple priest group known as the "Imperial Flower Sea", every girl is above the level of appearance, so many young and beautiful girls standing together, it is really dazzling.
The girl's eyes were all on Sachar.
Naturally, they didn't know Sagar's identity, and it was impossible for them to feel Sagar's strong strength and talent.
In fact, the reason that attracted their attention was very simple, it was because of Saga's good looks.
Saga is a top handsome even in the Emerald Capital, even if he is thrown in Vienna, the capital of the Elven King, he will not be inferior to anyone, let alone in such a poor place as Blago Province.
To be honest, the appearance of the Blago people, except for a few people, is really average.
"The reason for summoning you here today is very simple, let me introduce you to this person next to me first. Chenolt said, pointing at Zachar.
"This is the new Legion Commander in the province. On the orders of the Governor-General, he trained the 34th and 37th Legions of the Empire. Grand Priest Chenolte paused and said slowly, "So you should be very clear about his purpose today, which is to select the candidates for the Legion Priest Brigade. โ
As soon as Grand Priest Chenorte's words fell, the hall was boiling.
"It's the Legion Chief!" exclaimed a young girl from a family of ordinary citizens.
Although the Grand Priest of Chenolt, whom they often meet, was theoretically higher in rank than the Legion Commander in front of them, the General was certainly special.
"Such a young legion is the commander of the regular army of the empire, I don't know which big nobleman's son!" said a girl from a small nobleman with a hint of affirmation in her tone: "Such a young legion leader, I'm afraid he must be a nobleman in the Jade Capital." โ
"Wow, Emerald Capital!" several girls beside her exclaimed in low voices, "I really want to go to the Emerald Capital once, I heard that it is the most beautiful place in the Empire." โ
Although the Emerald Capital is the capital of the Emerald Empire, in fact, the vast majority of people in the Empire have never been to the Emerald Capital.
Because the roads of this era are really not comparable to those of later generations, without the roads that extend in all directions, the speed of travel will become extremely slow.
Moreover, even in the twenty-first century, there are many people who have never left their homeland, never been to the nation's capital, let alone this era.
"This adult is so good-looking, I haven't seen anyone so good-looking in the Olympic Province. A young priest from the Central Province muttered with her face in her hands and a blushing face.
The people in the hall have different expressions, but Saga has no reaction, this is normal, and ordinary girls have a normal reaction when they see Sachar.
Geniuses like Eveleya are generally not like this, and compared to their appearance, they will value other aspects at the same time.
"Ahem. The four older priestesses coughed a few times in front of them.
The voices in the hall were suddenly quiet.
Sagar looked at it, these four priests were bronze-level priests, which was the lowest level of the priesthood system, and they generally served as the teachings of new priests.
......
Temple Priesthood.
The temple system is the greatest dependent on maintaining power.
Especially after the complete disappearance of the knights of the temple, the priesthood is the most fundamental thing of the temple.
The temple has a complete process for selecting each priest.
The number of priests in the empire was probably in the tens of thousands, and all of them were the children of innocent citizens in the empire.
Of course, the vast majority of these priests were women. The ratio between men and women is about one to seventy or eighty.
