After deciding to build the capital, the last thing Zhang Tie said to the three elders was the order of the Holy Orders established by the Ancient God Religion.
The most important thing about the division of the entire Ancient God Religion’s divine products will be based on the characteristics of the Ice and Snow Wasteland and the Ancient God Religion. There will be a total of three levels and fourteen divine products within the religion.
The most common believers of the Ancient God Cult are the believers, which is the first class of the Ancient God Cult.
Among believers, those who swear to uphold the precepts of the four Sunnahs and practice the Four Sunnahs can become priests after undergoing rituals and recognition.
Priests who do not serve in the Ancient God Religion, but practice the "Book of Eternity" at home and in life, are called White Priests. Priests who join the various branches and institutions under the Ancient God Religion and are determined to become clergymen of the Ancient God Religion and are willing to serve the Ancient God Religion are called black priests.
Black priests are divided into four levels, and their rank is determined by the time and performance of observing the Four Holy Acts. From low to high, their grades can be divided into Iron Star priests, Bronze Star priests, Silver Star priests and Gold Star priests. The minimum time span for a priest to go from Iron Star priest to Venus priest is four years.
Priests are the second class of the Ancient God Religion and are also the basis for the development of the Ancient God Religion.
Above the priestly class, there is the third class of the Ancient God Religion, the most eye-catching clerical class.
The lowest level of the ecclesiastical hierarchy is the deacon. Venus priests can go a step further and become deacons. After becoming [一][本][Read] novel ybdu as deacons, they can participate in religious ceremonies or churches of the ancient god religion. When you become an auxiliary in a branch structure, you already have certain rights and powers. Equivalent to a deacon.
If the acolyte goes one step further and completes the Gray Hall experience, he can serve as a priest. As a priest, he already has the right to establish churches in villages below the rat-level tribe in the ice and snow wasteland, that is, in villages with less than 10,000 people, to spread the teachings of the ancient god religion.
Above the priest, there is the position of bishop. The position of bishop corresponds one-to-one with the strength and territory of each tribe in the ice and snow wasteland, those areas of tribes with different strengths. It is also divided into different levels of parishes.
The person who manages the parish of the Rat Tribe is Bishop Rongguang.
The person who administers the parish of the Eagle Tribe is the Head Bishop.
The person who governs the dioceses of the Wolf-level tribes is the diocesan bishop.
It is the metropolitan who governs the parishes of the Leopard tribe.
The person who manages the parish of the fox-level tribe is the tutelary bishop.
It is the Patriarch who governs the parishes of the Bear-level tribes.
Above the Patriarch, the Cardinal was able to manage the entire affairs of the Ancient Divine Religion and was directly appointed by Zhang Tie.
Above the cardinals is the pope. This papal position was combined with the secular royal power of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland, and he became the Tsar, that is, Zhang Tie.
It turns out that the priests of each tribe in the ice and snow wasteland grant them the same rank as the tribal bishop according to their status in each tribe. Both the glorious priest. The offices of leading priest, parish priest, metropolitan priest, town priest, apostolic priest and high priest.
Elder Moko of the Gray Eagle Tribe, who had caused Zhang Tie a lot of trouble, was ranked as the leading priest under the new system, while High Priest Shalin was still the high priest. His name remained unchanged, but his status was suddenly improved. The priest class, which nominally rules the entire ice and snow wasteland, is only responsible to Zhang Tie.
Once the structure of this ancient god religion is established. The development of the entire Ancient God Religion will enter a new stage.
…
"What are you going to do with the Ewendalla Islands? With the size of the Ewendalla Islands, at least one patriarch must be stationed there to calm the situation. Do you have a candidate?" After listening to Zhang Tie's words, After the introduction, Elder Gulas asked Zhang Tie.
"I am not planning to send bishop-level personnel to the Evandala Islands. In fact, I only sent a group of priests to the Evandala Islands!" Zhang Tie replied calmly.
"Ah, just a priest?" Elder Gulas was slightly surprised.
"Yes, priest!" Zhang Tie nodded, "In fact, except for the chiefs of the Fire Bear Tribe, the Wild Bear Tribe and the Sea Bear Tribe, I will confer them as Patriarchs, and for the other members of the Ancient God Religion, I will I will not make any promotions or titles. I will only confirm their status based on their current achievements. The Ancient God Sect is now widely spread in the ice and snow wasteland, but its foundation is still relatively weak. In these short five years, I The status achieved by the vast majority of my followers in the ice and snow wasteland is, at best, equivalent to the level of the Bishop of Glory. Therefore, this time, except for the three patriarchs and the surrendered priests, I will not consecrate anyone above the level of Glory Bishop. For the clergy of the Ancient God Religion at the bishop level, I will only give them time and let them see the future prospects. Whatever step they can take, I will confirm their status!"
The three elders were all smart people. Upon hearing this, they immediately understood Zhang Tie's intention. The reason why Zhang Tie did not grant the title was that he did not read horses, but horse racing. He asked all people above the priests of the Ancient God Religion to Fair competition, showing one's abilities in the competition, allowing truly talented people to stand out. If that person can establish the belief and status of the Ancient God Religion in a rat-level tribe, then Zhang Tie will give him the title of Bishop Rongguang, if that person can establish the belief and status of the Ancient God Religion in a wolf-level tribe, then Zhang Tie will make him the bishop of the diocese. Everyone's position is determined by that person's ability and performance. Under such circumstances, the Evandara Islands became an uncultivated virgin land and a testing ground in the eyes of all the clergy of the Ancient God Religion.
"If there is someone in the Ancient God Religion who can single-handedly establish his status with the Ancient God Religion in the Ewendalla Islands, then, let alone a Patriarch, I can also give him the position of Cardinal. Him, and if there is no such person..." Zhang Tie shrugged and said indifferently, "Those bishop positions can be left empty. I would rather keep them empty than fill them up! Anyway, if a religion wants to gradually grow, it is not A goal that can be achieved in ten or eight years.”
Several elders nodded.
"By the way, I plan to transform the 10,000 warriors from the Violent Bear Camp of the Ice Bear Tribe into Gray Palace Warriors and become a direct force under the Ancient God Religion. Is there any problem?" Zhang Tie continued.
At this moment, Zhang Tie already had Thor's Hammer in his hand. If the violent bear battalion composed entirely of violent bear warriors is included, then the two most powerful forces in the entire ice field giant bear tribe will be in Zhang Tie's hands under different names. These two forces are the core strength of the entire Ice Bear Tribe.
"Okay!" The three elders answered very readily, with almost no hesitation.
Zhang Tie was completely relieved. He clapped his hands and said relaxedly, "Okay, that's all I want to tell you. I've finished speaking. What do the elders want to say to me?"
The three elders looked at each other, and then Elder Shalin slowly spoke. "Before the official coronation, there are some things I should let you know!"
"Ah, what's the matter?"
"This is the biggest secret of the Ice Bear Tribe throughout the ages. The only people in the entire Ice Bear Tribe who can know this secret are the tribe elders!" High Priest Shalin said solemnly.
"Ah..." Zhang Tie was surprised, and his curiosity was suddenly aroused, "What secret is that?"
"You will know if you come with us and take a look!" High Priest Salin said, already standing up. Seeing the two elders Gulas and Thors also standing up, Zhang Tie also stood up. .
Elder Toles took the lead and left the room, leading the way, and Zhang Tie followed behind Elder Toles. Walking with High Priest Shalin.
This room is in the temple. The temple is in the heart of Mount Erqida, so as soon as he left the room, Zhang Tie came to the heart of the mountain that had been dug by people. The walkways in the heart of the mountain were inlaid with pieces of ice crystal fluorite on both sides. The best fluorite is only produced in the frozen continent. Ice crystal fluorite emits a soft, milky white brilliance, illuminating the artificial passage dug out of the mountain.
Elder Toles walked in front and walked directly into the depths of the mountain. The crisp footsteps of the four people echoed throughout the mountain.
At the beginning, some temple guards could be seen on both sides of the passage, but after walking to the back, after entering a fork in the passage, the people on both sides of the passage became sparse, and there were also some more access control keys on the road. In the hands of Elder Toles, every time he opened a door, Elder Toles carefully closed the door again before continuing forward. He looked very cautious.
"Where are we going?"
"The secret room where the elders of the Ice Bear Tribe retreat!" High Priest Shalin replied.
After walking for almost a kilometer underground and opening more than a dozen door locks, the secret room where the elders retreated finally arrived. Elder Thors used the key to open the hard alloy door, and Zhang Tie followed. Go in.
With a "bang..." sound, the thick alloy door of the secret room was closed again. Zhang Tie stood in the secret room where several elders were retreating, looking around.
This is an empty space that was dug out, about more than 5,000 square meters, like a large warehouse. There are some simple daily utensils in it. It seems to be a retreat place for the elders.
Zhang Tie took a look and found that there was nothing special at all.
Just when he was secretly wondering, the three elders had already walked to three different places in the secret room, dozens of meters apart from each other, and one by one put their hands on an inconspicuous stone brick on the wall of the secret room. They nodded to each other, and then used their strength together to press down the stone in their respective hands.
When the three elders pressed down the stone bricks on the wall at the same time, on the ground more than 20 meters away from Zhang Tie, a stone table quietly slid away from the ground. It was only one meter in diameter, like a deep well. The same cave entrance silently appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie walked over and found that the deep well-like entrance was really like a deep well, about hundreds of meters deep. Under the dark entrance, there was a faint orange-red light.
Zhang Tie looked at Elder Sha Lin, who nodded. Zhang Tie jumped down without any hesitation.
As a knight, Zhang Tie directly used his flying skills. Instead of falling to the ground freely, he rushed directly towards the hole without touching the ground.
The closer to the entrance of the cave, the brighter the orange-red light became. Zhang Tie rushed out of the deep well-like entrance in the blink of an eye, and then floated in a natural cave that was two or three times larger than the secret room just now.
When Zhang Tie saw the source of the orange-red light, his mouth opened in shock.
An orange-red crystal-like thing about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, like a huge crystal bamboo shoot, was suspended in the air more than fifty meters away from the entrance of the cave. The orange-red brilliance came from The radiation from that thing illuminated the underground cave as if it were in a strange dream.
Almost as soon as he saw the thing, Zhang Tie felt a powerful and special energy filled with this space. In the blink of an eye, it penetrated into his skin and penetrated into his body. That energy seemed to carry a certain energy. With this peculiar property, Zhang Tie felt that his body was like a colander placed in the water in front of the energy. There were holes everywhere. The energy easily passed through his body and came out again. It has no impact on itself.
In just a few seconds, the brilliance of the floating thing changed from orange-red to turquoise...
The three elders had already passed through the deep well-like passage and stopped together in the air. Standing next to Zhang Tie, the special energy in the space also penetrated into and out of the bodies of the three people...
"What is this?" Zhang Tie asked in surprise.
"This is the fragment of the Star of God!"
"What?" Zhang Tie looked at the huge floating crystal bamboo shoots that changed color in disbelief, and his heart was filled with shock, "Is this thing a fragment of the Star of God?"
"The first person to discover this thing was the great Prophet High Priest Erqida. This is also the most precious treasure left by the great Prophet High Priest to the Ice Bear Tribe!" Elder Gulas looked at the crystal giant with awe in his eyes. Bamboo shoots, his tone was also full of respect.
Is this what the fragments of the Star of God look like? I remember that when I first came to the ice and snow wasteland, the Star-Moon Sword Saint Samaranch came to the ice and snow wasteland for the fragments of the Star of God, but he did not expect that he did not even see the shadow of the fragments of the Star of God in the end. He fell into the trap of the Three Eyes Society. It turns out that there is indeed a fragment of the Star of God in the ice and snow wasteland, but the fragment is not underground in the cracks of the Hydra Glacier, but in the secret cave in the heart of the Erqida Mountain, and has always been in the hands of the ice field giant bear tribe. , who would have thought
Looking at the big crystal bamboo shoot floating in the air in front of him, Zhang Tie couldn't help but feel a little dazed, "What is the use of this thing?"
"The fragments of this God's Star contain a special energy. This special energy will act on the elemental world, causing some magical changes to occur in the elemental world where the God's Star is located. It is precisely because of the mastery of Only with this God's Star can the Slavs have the madness skills. The source of madness that allows the violent bear warriors to understand the madness skills is also brought by the fragments of this God's Star. After you are crowned tomorrow , according to the will of the great prophet and high priest Erqida, this fragment of the Star of God will be in your hands..."
