Game of the World Tree - Chapter 608

Chapter 606: Church Reform and Nation Building

High Priest and Rebuilding the Kingdom…

After hearing what Alice said, Eve was thoughtful.

“Alice, have you ever thought about becoming a high priest?”

He pondered for a moment and asked back.

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

Although Eve often interferes in church affairs under the guise of Zero, the God’s Favored One, his original intention was actually just to have a body that can move freely and to be able to deal with some problems that the elves cannot deal with when they are not strong enough.

He has not thought about it, nor has he planned to become his own spokesperson.

Speaking of which, the true God originally appointed 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 I am both the true God and the high priest, to be honest… that would be meaningless.

It’s just looking for work for myself, and I’m bored.

It’s better to directly issue an oracle to the symbolic saint as the true God to control the church.

At this point, it is necessary to mention the difference between the saint and the religious leader.

If the religious leader is the spokesperson of the true God, the highest head and manager of the church, then the saint is the bridge for direct communication between the true God and the church.

Although religious leaders can also obtain oracles from the true God through prayer, they are generally far closer to the true God than the saint.

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

They may not have the ability to manage the church that religious leaders should have, but they can communicate directly with the true God and convey the guidance of the true God.

From this perspective, although the saint is not a religious leader, as a being who can communicate directly with the true God, she has always had a transcendent status in each church.

They are almost on an equal footing with religious leaders and can even influence the decision-making of the church.

However, this is under normal circumstances.

The current management model of Eve’s Life Church is actually “abnormal”.

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

Eve, who was wearing the vest of Zero, the God-favored One, also had a sense of religious leader in her repeated interference in church affairs. She even had a bit of the shadow of a saint because she always issued oracles…

This was equivalent to the fact that the functions of the high priest were almost shared by Alice and Eve, and Eve even took over some of the functions of the saint.

Because of Eve’s strength and Alice’s obedience, the status of Eve’s vest became even higher…

In a word, it was chaos.

Now that Alice mentioned the matter of the high priest, Eve thought about it carefully and felt that it was time to make a decision.

He was still very satisfied with Alice’s work, and the identities of the saint and the religious leader were not impossible to overlap.

Eve had repeatedly interfered in church affairs before because the inherent thinking of the elves was sometimes too pedantic. When making some major decisions, Eve had to make the final decision herself, and the game system was not yet perfect. Only Eve, who knew everything, could control the overall situation…

But now it was different.

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

So after thinking about it, Eve decided to let Alice take on everything.

After all, she will slowly become a behind-the-scenes person. Even if she acts as Zero, the God’s Favored One, it would be best if she only acts as a thug and a messenger!

After hearing what Eve said, Alice was slightly stunned.

She smiled bitterly, then shook her head:

“Master Zero, you think too highly of me. As the church grows in size, I feel more and more that I am not suitable to be a manager.”

“But aren’t you doing well?”

Eve said.

“That’s because of you and the Chosen One.”

Alice sighed.

After she finished speaking, she paused, and her expression gradually became serious:

“More importantly, the church is getting bigger and bigger now. I think it’s time to rebuild a complete church system and organizational structure.”

Rebuilding a complete church system and organizational structure…

Eve was thoughtful.

Since Eve revived as the World Tree, although she rebuilt the church and gathered the elves, she actually did not form a complete organizational structure.

Although the Church of Life now has more and more priests, and a group of devout priests have emerged, the management of the entire church and even the priest hierarchy are still quite chaotic.

Apart from other things, the functions of priests, the standards for promotion, and the management of believers are still in a relatively extensive management mode.

The only thing that has been done well is the “Holy Book of Life” that has been renovated by the players.

In fact, it is not just the church, the social organization of the elves is also like this, and now it is in a rather loose and chaotic state.

That is, with cities such as Florence and Kenoran as the center, a number of city-state-like settlements have been formed. The daily management is the responsibility of the church or the elderly elf elders, and there is no strong political entity like a country.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the number of elves was too small before, and there was neither the ability nor the need to form such a complete church organization and administrative agency; on the other hand, the emergence of players completely changed the social order and ecology of the Elf Forest…

When the number of elves was small and the scale of players was not large, simple church organizations and administrative agencies could 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, it gradually became a little stretched. The same is true for

the previous population carrying capacity of the Chosen City.

Eve opened the construction of new cities to players, not only because of the supply limit of the productivity of the Chosen City, but also because the existing church management could not hold up, and players needed to branch out and spontaneously form a new management organization…

After thinking everything through, Eve said:

“So… do you mean that we need to appoint a high priest and further improve the church structure?”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I want to say, and I think you can do it.”

Alice replied.

Me?

I’d better forget it, I just want to fish.

Eve complained in her heart.

She pondered for a moment and said:

“The Church of Life does need reform, but I have no intention of becoming the high priest.”

“Why?”

Alice asked.

“Lazy.”

Eve said succinctly.

Alice: …

This… is really speechless.

After a pause, Eve said:

“What do you think of…Thranduil?”

“Thranduil?”

Alice was slightly stunned.

She hesitated for a moment and said:

“Lord Thranduil has been too close to many female Chosen Ones recently, and the reputation of him in the clan seems to be a little weird…”

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

“It’s all my fault. I didn’t teach him well. He seems to have been taught some strange knowledge by the Chosen Ones…”

After hearing Alice’s words, Eve looked strange.

She also thought of the scene when she conveyed the oracle to a certain original elf and saw him being served by a group of beautiful female players.

That guy… seems to have been raised a little bit crooked.

His ability is not bad, but he doesn’t look like an elf in the traditional sense. He looks more like a black-bellied dragon Aotian in the skin of an elf.

If Eve hadn’t cut off their ghs ability as early as the first batch of players, otherwise Thranduil might have opened a harem among the players…

In a sense, it’s also quite eye-catching.

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

afraid I should thank the NPC protection mechanism for not being beaten by male players.

Let this guy be the high priest, even if he has enough ability, he still needs to think carefully.

Thranduil is not okay. Eve pondered for a moment, and another name appeared in her mind:

“What do you think of Taylor?”

“Tyler?”

Alice was slightly stunned.

However, she soon remembered who Eve was talking about.

Taylor Yansha.

The first elf to purify the blood from the Orros demiplane, and also the first batch of life priests from the Orros demiplane.

His faith is extremely pious, and he is a fanatic of the goddess, but at the same time he does not have the stubborn thinking of traditional elves.

Not only that, although he is an elf from the demiplane, he has an incomparable love for elven culture. After purifying his blood, he quickly became one with the elves of the Segus demiplane.

Now, he is the high priest who manages the Life Church of the Orros demiplane, and he manages the Life Church of the Orros demiplane in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, he is a natural management talent.

At this thought, Alice’s heart was pounding.

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

The candidate proposed by Master Ling is indeed good.

If there is any shortcoming, it is that his foundation is still too weak and his reputation is not enough.

To become the chief priest, one also needs a certain reputation, so that he can convince the people.

“Taylor is indeed good, but his reputation in the tribe does not seem to be enough to become a religious leader, and his strength is not enough.”

Alice thought about it and said.

Although Taylor’s strength has skyrocketed after becoming a real elf, he has not yet become a silver elf.

Among the elves in the Forest of Elves, there are already many silver-level elves.

“Reputation and strength are not a problem. As long as His Majesty the True God approves, everything can be solved. We only need to inform His Majesty the True God of the candidate, and the rest will naturally be decided by His Majesty the True God.”

Eve said.

Alice was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

“Indeed, if His Majesty the True God approves, this is not a problem.”

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

However, only the kind and simple elves can do this.

If it were any other intelligent race, an “outsider” like Taylor would not be accepted as a leader of faith.

“Then Taylor, I will report this to Her Majesty the Goddess, and Her Majesty will decide everything.”

Eve said.

Alice had no objection.

The Saint of Life thought for a moment and said,

“In addition, I think the system of the former Church of Nature is no longer suitable for the current Elf Forest. The appearance of the Chosen Ones has changed the structure of the church. If the church is to be reformed, I think we should explore a new mechanism suitable for ordinary elves and the Chosen Ones on the basis of the original church.”

“The Chosen Ones are very capable. I think we can summon the Chosen Ones in the form of issuing tasks as before, and optimize the existing model based on our existing church structure.”

Eve nodded in approval, and secretly said in her heart that Alice’s way of speaking was becoming more and more like Blue Star.

“It is indeed a good idea to let the Chosen Ones participate. The previous “Holy Book of Life” is good, but this matter still needs to be reported to Her Majesty the Goddess. Only Her Majesty the Goddess can maximize the enthusiasm of the Chosen Ones.”

Eve said.

“That’s what I thought, too.”

Alice smiled sweetly.

Eve nodded and said,

“That’s it, the second thing is decided this way. As for the founding of a country… our current population is actually far from enough, but it can be taken into consideration in advance.”

Eve will sooner or later purify all the elf-mixed humans on the Orros demiplane, and the speed will only get faster and faster. Therefore, although the population of the elves is not large now, it will definitely increase explosively in the future.

Ideally, it will even reach nearly three million.

And the players, that’s even more.

In Eve’s opinion, players can also be counted as population.

“Elf Kingdom” is running well on Blue Star. She has long planned to operate it for a long time. She has even made preparations to pull the souls willing to reincarnate in another world to the Segos world to reshape their bodies and become real elves after the death of the players.

Of course, the hundreds of thousands of players on Blue Star have not died yet. As for whether the players retain their memories after death, and whether other restrictions will be added if the memories are retained, that is another matter.

But one thing is certain. With the development of the Elf Forest, Eve feels that if the elves really want to restore their country, there is no need to build a “kingdom” as before.

Historically, the Elf Kingdom was established spontaneously by the Elf royal family, with royal power as the center. Moreover, the Elf Kingdom came first, and then the Natural Church that spontaneously believed in the World Tree came, and was recognized by the predecessor, and finally formed the well-known Elf civilization.

But the current situation is different from before.

Religion and royal power have always been in an antagonistic relationship and conflict with each other.

Eve didn’t think deeply about it before, but now she thinks that for the true God, a country with a unified political and diplomatic system is actually the best.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Just like the human world, there are many gods and churches, and it is impossible for a single political and political unity to appear for the whole tribe.

Even if there is, it is only a small human country.

However, who made the elves believe in only one true god, Eve?

This is the best soil for the political and political unity of the whole tribe!

Not only that, when Eve connects the game system and the belief network, the political and political unity system will also help 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:

“As for establishing a country… don’t worry, let’s complete the church reform first, and when the population is larger, we will pray to Her Majesty the Goddess and ask for an oracle.”

_(:з」∠)_ I will take an exam tomorrow, and it will be for a public institution in my hometown. Wish me happiness.
