Game of the World Tree

High Priest and Rebuilding the Kingdom...

After listening to Alice's words, Eve was thoughtful.

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

He pondered for a while and asked back.

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

Although Eve often interferes in the affairs of the church with the vest of the God-Blessed One, but his original intention is just to have a body that can move freely, and can deal with some problems that the elves cannot deal with when their strength is insufficient.

He didn't think about it, and didn't plan to become his own spokesperson.

Speaking of which, the Pope, the Pope, and the like were originally appointed by the True God to facilitate the spread and rule of his own beliefs. Religious leaders are the strongest “tools” for the Church to be managed by the True God.

If you are the true god and the high priest, to be honest... it will be boring.

It's all about finding work for yourself, and it hurts to be idle.

It is better to directly issue oracles to the symbolic saintess to control the church as the true god.

Having said that, it is necessary to mention the difference between a saint and a religious leader.

If the religious leaders are the spokespersons of the true God and the highest heads and managers of the church, then the saintess are the bridges between the true God and the church.

Although religious leaders can also obtain oracles from the true God through prayer, in general, they are far from being closer to the true God than the saintess.

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

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

From this perspective, although the Holy Maiden is not a religious leader, as an existence that 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 normal.

The current management model of Eve's Life Church is actually "abnormal".

Alice, who is a saint, has completely become a toiled life running around, and even takes on the task of managing players.

And Eve, who is wearing the vest of God's favored zero, has also faintly felt like a religious leader when interfering in church affairs again and again, and even has the shadow of a saint because of always issuing oracles...

This is equivalent to that the functions of the high priest are almost shared by Alice and Eve, and Eve even robbed some of the functions of the saint.

And because of Eve's strength and Alice's obedience, the status of Eve's vest has become faintly higher...

In one word, 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 is still very satisfied with Alice's work, and the identities of saintess and religious leaders are not inseparable.

Before Eve repeatedly intervened in church affairs, it was because the inherent thinking of elves was sometimes too pedantic. When making some major decisions, Eve needed to make decisions personally, and the game system was not perfect, and only Eve who knew everything could control it. Global...

But it's different now.

The elves have changed subtly, and the game system is gradually on the right track. In fact, Eve can let go.

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

After all, I want to slowly become behind the scenes, even if it is a vest activity of the god-blessed person, it is best to just act as a thug and a god!

Hearing Eve's words, Alice was slightly taken aback.

She gave a wry smile, then shook her head:

"Master Zero, you have a high opinion of me. With the expansion of the church, I feel more and more that I am not suitable as a manager."

"But aren't you doing well?"

Eve said.

"That's with the help of you and the Chosen One."

Alice sighed.

After speaking, she paused, and her expression gradually became solemn:

"More importantly, now that the church is getting bigger and bigger, I think it's time to rebuild the perfect church system and organizational structure."

Rebuild the perfect church system and organizational structure...

Eve thought about it.

Since Eve's resurrection into the World Tree, although the church has been rebuilt and the elves gathered, they have not actually formed a complete organizational structure.

Although there are more and more priests in the Church of Life, and a group of devout chief priests have also been born, the management and even the priesthood of the entire church are still quite chaotic.

If nothing else, 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 reworked "Tome of Life" by the players.

In fact, it is not only the church, but also the social organization of elves, which is now in a rather loose and chaotic state.

That is to say, centered on cities such as Feilengcui and Kainolan, they formed a city-state-like settlement. On weekdays, the management was handled by the church or the elder elf elders, and there was no political entity as powerful as 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 set up such a perfect 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, the simple church organization and administrative agencies can still maintain the operation of the entire forest of elves, but with the increase in the number of elves and the influx of public beta players , and gradually became a little stretched.

The same is true for the fact that the Chosen City exceeded its population carrying capacity before.

Eve opened the new city construction to players, not only because of the supply constraints of the city's productivity, but also because the existing church management could not support it, and players needed to spread their branches and form a new management organization... …

After thinking about everything clearly, Eve said:

"So... do you mean that we need to appoint a high priest and further improve the structure of the church?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I wanted to say, and I think you'll be able to do it."

Alice replied.

I?

I still forget, I just want to fish.

Eve groaned in her heart.

She pondered for a while and said:

"The Church of Life does need reform, but I have no intention of becoming a high priest."

"why?"

Alice asked.

"lazy."

Eve was succinct.

Alice:  …

This... is really speechless.

After a pause, Eve spoke again:

"What do you think of... Thranduil?"

"Thranduil?"

Alice was slightly taken aback.

She hesitated, and said:

"Lord Thranduil has been too close to many female candidates recently, and the clan's comments about him seem to be a little subtle..."

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

"It's all my fault. I didn't teach him well. He seems to have been taught some strange knowledge by the Chosen One..."

After listening to Alice's words, Eve looked strange.

She also thought of the picture she saw when she was delivering an oracle to a primordial elf, being served by a group of female players.

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

The ability is not bad, but it is not like an elf in the traditional sense, but like a black-bellied dragon Aotian in elf skin.

If Eve hadn't pinched their ghs abilities back in the first batch of players, otherwise this guy might have started a harem in the players...

In a sense, it's also very eye-catching.

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

Not being beaten by male players is all thanks to the NPC protection mechanism.

Let this guy become the high priest, even if he has enough ability, he has to weigh it carefully.

Thranduil can'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 slightly taken aback.

However, she quickly remembered who Eve was talking about.

Tyler Rocksand.

The first elves to purify blood from the Oros half-plane, and also the first batch of life priests from the Oros half-plane.

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

Not only that, although he is an elf from a half-plane, he has a great love for elf culture, and soon after purifying his blood, he became one with the elves of the half-plane of Seggs.

Now, he is the chief priest who manages the Oros Half-Plane Life Church, and manages the Oros Half-Plane Life Church in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, he is a natural managerial talent.

At this thought, Alice was heartbroken.

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

The candidate proposed by Master Zero is indeed good.

If there is any deficiency, it is that his background is still too weak and his reputation is insufficient.

And to become a high priest, you also need to have a certain reputation, so that you can convince the public.

"Taylor is really good, but his reputation in the clan does not seem to be enough to become a religious leader, and his strength is not enough."

Alice thought for a while and said.

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

Among the elves of the Forest of Spirits, there are already quite a few elves of the silver rank.

"There is no problem with prestige and strength. As long as the Crown of the True God approves, everything can be resolved. We only need to inform the Crown of the True God of the candidates, and the rest will naturally be decided by the Crown of the True God."

Eve said.

Alice was stunned, then nodded:

"Indeed, if 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 almost knew in her heart that it was the other party.

But it is only the kind and simple elves that can do this.

If it were replaced by other intelligent races, "outsiders" like Taylor might not be accepted as leaders of faith at all.

"Then Taylor, I will report this matter to Your Majesty the Goddess, and it is up to His Majesty to decide."

Eve said.

Alice also had no objection.

The saint of life thought for a while, and then said:

"Furthermore, I don't think the former system of the Church of Nature is suitable for the present Spirit Forest. The emergence of the Chosen One has changed the composition of the church. If the church is to be reformed, I think it should be based on the original church and explore New mechanics for common elves and the Chosen."

"The ability of the Chosen Ones is very strong. I think we can call the Chosen Ones in the form of issuing tasks as before, and optimize the existing model on the basis of our existing church structure."

Eve nodded in approval, while secretly thinking that Alice's way of speaking was becoming more and more like a Blue Star.

"It is indeed a good way to let the Chosen Ones participate. The previous "Tome of Life" was good, but this matter still needs to be reported to the Goddess. Only the Goddess can mobilize the enthusiasm of the Chosen to the greatest extent."

Eve said.

"I think so too."

Alice smiled sweetly.

Eve nodded and said:

"That's it, the second thing is set like this. As for the founding of the country... Our current population is actually far from enough, but it can also be taken into consideration in advance."

Eve will purify all of the elf hybrid humans on the Oros half-plane sooner or later, and this speed will only get faster and faster, so although the population of the elf race is not large at present, it will definitely be in the future. explosive increase.

Ideally, it would even be close to three million.

And players, that's more.

In Eve's view, players can also be counted as a population.

"Nation of the Elf" is running well in Blue Star. She has already planned to operate it for a long time, and she has even done a good job of pulling the souls who are willing to reincarnate in another world to the world of Seggs after the player's death to reshape their bodies and become real elves. Prepare.

Of course, the hundreds of thousands of players on Blue Star have not yet died. As for whether or not to retain memory after a player's death, and whether to add other restrictions to retain memory, that is another matter.

But one thing is certain, with the development of the Elf Forest and Thranduil's crookedness, Eve felt that the elves really wanted to restore the country, and in fact, there was no need to build a "kingdom" as before.

Historically, the elf kingdom was established spontaneously by the elven royal family, centered on the kingship, and first there was the elf kingdom, and then there was the natural church that spontaneously believed in the world tree, and was recognized by the predecessor, and finally formed the well-known elf civilization.

But the situation now is different from before.

Religion and kingship have always been in an antagonistic relationship, colliding with each other.

Eve didn't think deeply before, but now that I think about it, for the true God, the country of the **** 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 for a single **** of the whole family to appear.

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 family ****!

Not only that, in the case of Eve connecting the game system with the belief network, the **** system is also conducive to him to better control the players.

Of course, all this can only be considered after the system of the church is further improved.

Thinking of this, Eve said:

"If the country is to be established... let's not hurry, we will complete the church reform first, and if the population increases, then we will pray to the Goddess and ask for the oracle."
