Chapter 605: Church reform and nation-building issues

Latest URL: Chief High Priest and Rebuilding the Kingdom...
Eve was thoughtful after hearing Alice's words.
"Alice, have you ever thought of becoming the chief high priest?"
He pondered for a moment and asked back.
Religious leaders are the spokesmen of the true God in the secular world.
Although Eve often interferes with church affairs with the vest of the Favored One, his original intention is actually to have a body that can move freely, and can deal with some problems that they can't handle when the elves are insufficient.
He did not think about it, nor did he intend to become his own spokesperson.
Speaking of it, the true God appoints the pope and the pope to facilitate the spread and rule of his own beliefs. Religious leaders are the strongest "tools" for the true God to manage the church.
If you were the true and the chief high priest, to be honest... it would be boring.
It's all looking for work for myself, and it hurts to be idle.
It is better to directly issue oracles to the symbolic saint as the true to control the church.
Having said that, it is necessary to mention the difference between a saint and a religious leader.
If the religious leader is the spokesperson of the true God and the highest head and administrator of the church, then the saint is the bridge between the true God and the church.
Although religious leaders can also obtain oracles from the true through prayer, in general, they are far less close to the true than the saint.
This is because the saints of the various churches were originally selected from the most devout believers.
They may not have the ability of religious leaders to manage the church, but they can communicate directly with the true God and convey the true God's guidance.
From this perspective, although the saint is not a religious leader, as an existence that can directly communicate with the true God, she has always had a transcendent position in every church.
They are almost on par with religious leaders, and they can even influence the decision-making of the church.
However, this is normal.
The current management model of Eve's Life Church is actually "abnormal".
As a saint, Alice has completely turned into a toil of running around, even taking on the task of managing players.
And Eve, wearing the vest of the Favored One, has a vague feeling of religious leaders in interfering with church affairs again and again, and even because of always issuing oracles, there is a shadow of a saint...
This is equivalent to the functions of the chief high priest being almost shared by Alice and Eve, and Eve even robbed part of the functions of the saint.
And because of Eve's strength and Alice's obedience, the status of Eve's vest has faintly become higher...
In a word, that is confusion.
Now that Alice mentioned the matter of the chief high priest, after thinking about it carefully, Eve felt it was time to make a decision.
He is still very satisfied with Alice's work, and the identity of the saint and the religious leader are not incompatible.
Before Eve repeatedly intervened in church affairs, it was because the inherent thinking of the elves was sometimes too pedantic. When making some major decisions, Eve needed to make a decision personally. Moreover, the game system is not yet perfect, and only Eve who knows everything can control it. Overall...
But it's different now.
The elves have changed imperceptibly, and the game system is gradually getting on the right track. Eve can actually let go.
So after thinking about it, Eve has the heart to let Alice take everything down.
After all, I have to slowly become behind the scenes, even if it is a vest activity with no favored ones, it is best to only act as a thug and an envoy!
After hearing Eve's words, Alice was slightly taken aback.
She gave a wry smile, then shook her head:
"Master Zero, you think me highly. With the expansion of the church, I feel more and more unsuitable to be a manager."
"But didn't you do very well?"
Eve said.
"That is to help you and the Chosen One."
Alice sighed.
After speaking, she paused, her expression gradually becoming solemn:
"More importantly, now that the church is getting bigger and bigger, I think it's time to rebuild a perfect church system and organizational structure."
Rebuild a perfect church system and organizational structure...
Eve thoughtfully.
Since Eve was revived as a world tree, although the church has been rebuilt and the elves gathered together, it has not actually formed a perfect organizational structure.
Although there are more and more priests in the Church of Life, and a group of pious chief priests have been born, the management of the entire church and even the hierarchy of priests are still quite chaotic.
Needless to say, the functions of priests, the standards of promotion and the management of believers are still in a relatively extensive management mode.
The only thing that did a good job is the "Sacred Book of Life" that the players have renovated.
In fact, it is not only the church, but also the social organization of the elves, which is now in a rather loose and chaotic state.
That is, with cities such as Feilengcui and Kenoran as the center, a city-state settlement was formed. The church or the elderly elder elders were responsible for the daily management, and they did not form a powerful political entity like a country.
The reason for this is that, on the one hand, there were too few elves before, and there was neither the ability nor the need to form such a complete church organization and administrative organization; on the other hand, the appearance of players completely changed the forest of elves. Social order and ecology...
When the number of elves is small and the scale of players is not large, simple church organizations and administrative institutions can still maintain the operation of the entire Elf Forest, but with the increase in the number of elves and the influx of public beta players , And gradually became a little stretched.
The same goes for the previously chosen city to exceed its population capacity.
Eve opened up new city construction to players, not only because of the limited supply of productivity in the city of choice, but also because the existing church management can't support it. Players need to open branches and spontaneously form new management organizations... …
After thinking about everything, Eve said:
"So... do you mean that you need to appoint the chief priest and further improve the church structure?"
"Yes, this is what I want to say, and I think you will be able to do it."
Alice replied.
I?
I still forget it, I just want to fish.
Eve complained in his heart.
She pondered for a moment and said:
"The Church of Life does need reform, but I have no intention of becoming the chief priest."
"why?"
Alice asked.
"lazy."
Eve was concise and concise.
Alice:...
This... is really speechless.
After a pause, Eve spoke again:
"What do you think... Thrandil?"
"Thorandil?"
Alice was taken aback for a moment.
She hesitated and said:
"Your Excellency Thranduil has recently gotten too close to many women who have been chosen, and the clan's comments about him seem to be somewhat subtle..."
After speaking, she lowered her head again, and said with some reproach:
"It's all my fault. I didn't teach him well. He seems to have been taught some strange knowledge by the Chosen..."
Eve looked weird after hearing Alice's words.
She also thought of the scene that she saw when he was being served by a group of female players of Yingyingyanyan when she conveyed the oracle to a certain original elf.
That guy... seems to be a bit crooked.
The ability is not bad, but unlike an elf in the traditional sense, it is like a black-bellied dragon proud of elf skin.
If it wasn't for Eve's ability to pinch their ghs as early as the first batch of players, otherwise this guy might have opened a harem in the players...
In a sense, it's also very spicy.
After all, he is not a human, but an elf.
If you haven't been beaten by male players, you have to thank the NPC protection mechanism.
Let this guy be the chief high priest, even if he has enough abilities, he has to weigh it carefully.
Thranduil couldn't do it, Eve pondered for a moment, and another name appeared in his mind:
"Then what do you think of Tyler?"
"Taylor?"
Alice was taken aback for a moment.
However, she quickly remembered who Eve was talking about.
Tyler Yansha.
The first elves to purify blood from the demiplane of Oros, and the first priests of life from the demiplane of Oros.
His faith is extremely pious, he is a fanatic of the goddess, and he does not have the stubborn thinking of traditional elves.
Not only that, although he is an elf from the demiplane, he is extremely passionate about elf culture, and after purifying his bloodline, he soon became one with the elves of the Segus demiplane.
Now, he is the chief priest who manages the life church of Oros half plane, and he manages the life church of Oros half plane in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, he is a natural managerial talent.
At this point, Alice was shocked.
The most important thing for a religious leader of a church is to have excellent management skills.
The candidate proposed by Master Zero is indeed good.
If there are any shortcomings, his background is still too weak and his reputation is insufficient.
To become the chief high priest also requires a certain prestige to convince the crowd.
"Taylor is indeed good, but his reputation in the clan does not seem to be enough to become a religious leader, and his strength is somewhat insufficient."
Alice thought for a while and said.
Although Taylor became a real elf, although his strength soared, he has not yet become silver.
Among the elves of the Fairy Forest, there are already many elves of the silver rank.
"There is no problem with prestige and strength. As long as the true gods approve, everything can be solved. We only need to inform the true gods of the candidates, and the rest will naturally be decided by the true gods."
Eve said.
Alice was startled, then nodded:
"Indeed, if the true approves it, this is not a problem."
The more Eve thought about it, the more he felt that Taylor was good. At this moment, she almost assumed that she was the other party in her heart.
But only the kind and simple elves can do this.
If you switch to other intelligent races, "outsiders" like Taylor are afraid that they will not be accepted as leaders of faith.
"Then Taylor, I will report this to the goddess, and everything will be decided by the goddess."
Eve said.
Alice also had no objections.
The saint of life thought for a while, then said:
"In addition, I think the former natural church system is no longer suitable for the current fairy forest. The emergence of the Chosen has changed the structure of the church. If church reform is carried out, I think it should be explored on the basis of the original church. A new mechanism suitable for ordinary elves and the Chosen."
"The abilities of the Chosen are very strong. I think we can convene the Chosen in the form of issuing tasks as before, and optimize the existing model based on our existing church structure."
Eve nodded in approval, and at the same time secretly said in her heart that Alice's way of speaking became more and more blue star.
"It is indeed a good way to involve the Chosen. The previous "Sacred Book of Life" is good, but this matter needs to be reported to the goddess. Only the goddess can mobilize the enthusiasm of the Chosen."
Eve said.
"I think so too."
Alice smiled sweetly.
Eve nodded and said:
"That's it. The second thing is to be decided. As for Jianguo... our current population is far from enough, but it can be taken into consideration in advance."
Sooner or later Eve will purify all the elven hybrid humans on the half-plane of Oros. This speed will only get faster and faster. So although the population of the elves is not too large now, it will definitely be in the future. Increased explosively.
Ideally, it will even reach nearly three million.
And the players, that's more.
In Eve's view, players can also be counted as population.
"Elf Country" is running well on Blue Star. She has already planned to run it for a long time, and she has even done a good job of pulling souls willing to reincarnate in another world to the world of Segus to reshape their bodies and become real elves after the player's death. ready.
Of course, the hundreds of thousands of players on Blue Star have not yet died. As for whether to retain memory after death, whether to add other restrictions to retain memory, that is another story.
But one thing is certain is that with the development of the Fairy Forest and Thrandil's long crookedness, Eve felt that the elves really wanted to regain the country, but there was no need to build the "kingdom" as before.
In history, the elven kingdom was spontaneously established by the elven royal family, centered on the kingship, and first there was the elven kingdom, and then the natural church that spontaneously believed in the world tree, and was recognized by the predecessor, and finally formed the well-known elven civilization.
But the current situation is different from before.
Religion and kingship have always been opposed to each other.
Before, Eve didn't think deeply, but now I want to come to ~EbookFREE.me~ For the true gods, the country is actually the best.
Of course, this is not absolute.
Just like the human world, there are many gods and many churches, and it is impossible to have a single race.
Even if there is, it is just a small human country.
But, who made the elves only believe in Eve a true god?
This is the best soil for Juzu!
Not only that, when Eve connects the game system with the belief network, the system also helps him to better control the players.
Of course, all this can only be considered after the church system is further improved.
Thinking of this, Eve said:
"For Jianguo... don't rush, let's complete the church reform first, and when the population increases, we will pray to the goddess and ask for an oracle.
