In the Holy See, there are two completely different promotion systems that are integrated with each other.
First of all, it is the professional promotion as a holy magician.
All believers who swear allegiance to the God of Light and are willing to become God's servants will have the most junior profession - junior priest. Unlike magicians, the moment you pledge allegiance to the God of Light, you immediately have the right to use junior sacred magic - more
To be precise, the junior priest is already one of the messengers of the God of Light in the human world, and he can obtain some of the abilities of the God of Light.
After studying hard and continuously swearing allegiance to God, believers will be able to use more magic. At this time, they will also be promoted to official priests.
The next target of the priest is the high-level priest. After becoming a high-level priest, the clergy will not only have the divine rescue magic power, but also can learn offensive holy magic such as Holy Word.
When they need to move up to the next level from high-level priests, clergy will face their first choice: to choose to completely put aside their emotions and serve God wholeheartedly, to continue to engage in the daily affairs of the Holy See, or to choose to enter a wilderness area to serve God.
Local residents bring the gospel of God. The former will become priests, the latter will become sages, and those who engage in the daily affairs of the Holy See will have the title of priests.
These three titles are no less respected in various countries than the six great elemental magicians.
More than 99% of clergy will stay in these three professions for life - only those who pass the strict test of the Holy See have the right to continue in their careers.
This kind of test is completely necessary. Because when the magic power possessed by the clergy further expands, their hearts will expand earlier than the magic power.
For the Holy See, this is a secret...a secret that cannot be told to any ordinary believer.

Chapter 24: Wild Eagle Knight
At this moment, all the soldiers were suddenly surprised to find that the knights on the back of the giant eagle were all forest elves.
Forest Elf? A trace of uneasiness rippled slightly among the soldiers like water waves.
As we all know, elves rarely enter human territory. Although the Fairy Forest is close at hand, there are still quite a few residents of Tongyunguan whose impressions of elves only come from hearsay and have never actually seen elves. The appearance of such a large number
What does elves mean? Could it be that elves also participated in the war?
At this moment, the mad vulture had fallen to a height of 2 meters above the ground, and the elf knights jumped off the back of the giant bird one after another. The leading elf strode towards Chi Aotian, and spoke without any trace of etiquette: "Deputy
Your Excellency, the head of the regiment, the two deputy captains Daqingshan and Horns, and Her Majesty the Queen have sent small mercenary groups, the Wild Vulture Knights Battalion and the Wild Vulture Swordsman Battalion, to support you. This is a personal letter from Da Qingshan, Mr. Horns.
.”
Chi Aotian looked at the familiar elves in front of him. After a slight pause, he recalled. The Fairy Forest was divided into six directions according to the division of the Elf tribes. In each direction, there was a warrior elder who was responsible for the Elf Archers. Lingbao
When the queen traveled thousands of miles to find her husband, she was accompanied by two warrior elders, and the one in front of her was one of them: Qing Luo.
The Great Elf Elder specially introduced this elder - most elves will major in magic after reaching a certain age, and Qingluo had previously participated in the Song of Wind War and watched hundreds of great magicians and magisters being released.
The magic rained down on Yin Feng. What he didn't expect was that the dark dragon clan was naturally immune to most magic. The threat of magicians was not even as good as ordinary elf archers. This ironclad fact left a deep impression on Qing Luo.
After the battle of Yin Feng, the newly adult Qing Luo left the fairy forest and entered the human world to repeatedly pursue martial arts warriors, and eventually became a rare martial arts master among the elves. From his appearance alone, we can tell that Qing Luo is different from other elves.
The difference is that Qingluo has just entered the middle age of the elves. Unlike other elves with delicate looks, the face of the warrior elf is full of perseverance and perseverance, which is extremely rare among elves.
After Chi Aotian left Hamburg City, the chief officers of the small mercenary group immediately ordered the Mad Eagle Swordsman Battalion and the Mad Eagle Elf Archer Battalion to set off. The Mad Eagle Swordsman Battalion was a unit directly under Chi Aotian, and both the chief and deputy captains
He was a young man from the Frozen Continent. He also knew the sad news of Chi Hanfeng's death in battle, and also heard that Chi Aotian had turned against His Majesty the King, and rushed directly to Tongyunguan Pass. They knew the temperament of their immediate superiors quite well, and the two
Personally, I couldn't worry too much, for fear that something might happen to Chi Aotian on the way. After the eagle set off, he didn't drink a sip of water all the way, and flew until dark. The eagle couldn't see anything at night, so the two teenagers cried and begged the elves.
A lot of hard work, using the forest elves' natural ability to communicate with animals' minds, Xingye chases Chi Aotian, and must find it as soon as possible.
Qingluo himself is an extremely strict and fair person. He will do his duty as ordered by Her Majesty the Queen. Now he is entrusted by a small mercenary group of nearly 200 wild eagle swordsmen, leading more than 400 elves to only rest for 3 hours a day.
, chasing all the way towards the Fairy Forest.
Chi Aotian took the letter, opened it and read two pages before his eyes were red. Previously, in Daqingshan, Horns did not support his revenge. No matter how high-sounding the reasons were, the cold young man was inevitably a little conflicted. He read the letter, and then read it again.
The two major air units of the Small Mercenary Regiment provide full support - in fact, other units cannot support because they cannot pass through the Sanggan River defense zone. Therefore, this is all the power that Daqingshan and Horns can use. Chi Aotian felt slightly in his heart
One hot.
The letter was written by Da Qingshan, and the tone seemed to be that of Horns.
The letter did not explain anything, but drafted a message for Chi Aotian to "Crunt against the Rebellions of the Holy Holy See." Horns knew that Chi Aotian was not good at expressing himself, but... this matter must be explained clearly to the soldiers.
Among the empires on the Eminor continent, the Holy Holy See is the only religion recognized by the empire. It has an extremely lofty status in each empire. Even the succession of the kings of each country must be at least formally recognized by the Holy See. The imperial military and civilians have no regard for the Holy See.
The staff even worshiped the church, and the devout believers were willing to donate their last bit of property to the church. In this context, if one brazenly declares war on the Holy See without a very good reason, it will undoubtedly not only lose the support of the residents, but even
Even soldiers may rebel.
In Chi Aotian's hand was a letter to solve this problem. All he needed was to read it out in public. It can be seen that Horns and Daqingshan spent a lot of effort on this letter, and they all helped Chi Aotian.
Think about how to express your point of view.
According to the letter, Chi Aotian summoned the dragon Yaoli. In front of many Black Dragon Knights warriors, the young man jumped up. The huge dragon armor slowly closed, and the dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky.
Immediately, the young man's cold words echoed over the entire school military field.
"Fearless warriors of the Black Dragon Knights, maybe you don't know who I am. Let me introduce myself first. I am Chi Aotian."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was already a scene of whispering in the team below. Chi Aotian? Is that the leader of the small mercenary group who killed the dragon? Dragon slayer, this is a coveted honor for any warrior. I didn't expect that,
Saw it today.
Chi Aotian paused for a moment, and the cold words sounded again.
"I want to tell you a piece of news, and this news has not been known to anyone in the past two days. That is -" the angry voice of the young man suddenly rang through the sky: "The Holy Church colluded with the Fanos Orc Legion to take advantage of His Majesty Red Stone's birthday.
Taking the opportunity to invite envoys from various countries to the empire, Tibetan soldiers and envoys captured the imperial capital of Scambrai 10 days ago."
What? All the tens of thousands of soldiers were stunned. The imperial capital was captured? This is something no one could have dreamed of.
The young man's cold voice suddenly disappeared, and then everyone heard a low cry - one came from the sky, and the other came from the general platform. In full view of the public, the two talented young men from the Chi family shed tears at the same time -
The soldiers could even see tears dripping from the Bone Dragon Knight's mask, passing through the Bone Dragon, crystal clear...
Soon, the crying in the sky disappeared.
"In order to cover the retreat of His Majesty the Red Stone Emperor, my uncle, Marquis Chi Hanfeng, the general of the imperial capital, led the last 10 or so soldiers of the Royal Guards to stay at the secret passage of the palace and resist three golden dragon knights and dozens of great magicians on their own.
Division, attacked by thousands of warriors."
"At the last moment, the secret passage was completely sealed by the enemy's magicians. At that time, my uncle ordered the last Praetorian Guards soldiers to surrender and said the following words to them: 'Prisoner Guards soldiers, now, I order
, you go and surrender to the Dragon Knights. Your performance just now is worthy of the title of the most elite force in the empire! When you return to your unit again, your brigade will have the right to stamp a bloody gold on the team flag.
Giant dragon head, this is the supreme honor you have won for your troops. You can also tattoo two golden dragons on your sleeves. You are the brave ones who dare to fight against the giant dragons!'"
"After the soldiers surrendered, for the honor of the empire and for the prestige of the Chi family that has not faded for 500 years, my uncle committed suicide with a long sword. His fantasy beast mount screamed in pain and crashed to death at his feet. After the surrender
Among the more than 10 soldiers, 6 or 7 took back their swords and committed suicide."
There was total silence on the school military field.
As a soldier, he knew that he had to face death from the moment he entered the military camp. And Chi Hanfeng, as the highest-ranking general in the empire and a member of the royal family, was able to calmly give up his life and die calmly. This was enough to make him die in an instant.
All the soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights were excited and their blood was gushing.
"Exactly 500 years ago, a 20-year-old girl from the Chi family rode a giant dragon and led 5,000 black dragon knights. Starting from here, after one year, she defeated an empire, crossed the desert, and laid a new chapter for the Amy Empire.
territory. It was in that battle that the Black Dragon Knights truly showed their prestige, leaping from the private army of the Chi family to the four ace knights of the empire. Among the 5,000 Black Dragon Knights who participated in that battle, 3
26 people were awarded the title of Marquis, 26 people were awarded the title of Earl, 253 people were awarded the title of Viscount, 942 people were awarded the title of Baron, 1532 were awarded the title of Lord, and all of them were awarded the Imperial Blue Ling Knight."
"Today, originally, according to family rules, I asked my brother to send 10,000 troops to avenge my uncle. Now, I have changed my mind."
Chi Aotian paused for a moment.
"What a weak girl from the Chi family could do 500 years ago, why can't I do it today? 500 years ago, 5,000 Chi family children of the Black Dragon Knights were able to conquer an empire. Today, the same Black Dragon Knights,
There are also 5,000 children of the Chi family, why can’t we do it?! So, I only need 5,000 knights to recreate the glory of the Chi family’s Black Dragon Knights 500 years ago!”
"Who are we going to attack? If you tell me, you may be afraid. What we are going to attack is the Holy See. Our goal is to bloodbath Uru!!!!!"
Although the soldiers had already thought of the answer, they still looked extremely surprised when they heard such words.
"I know that some people think that I am treasonous and rebellious. I also know that some people must think that I am crazy. Why would I attack the Holy See?"
"I'm crying, not only because my uncle died in the war, but also for the dozens of generations of emperors of the Amy Empire over the past 600 years, and for the soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights who have guarded Tongyunguan for the past 500 years!"
"600 years ago, today's Holy Church was a small church with no more than a thousand believers. His Majesty, the founding emperor, gave them the richest land in the empire to build homes and develop believers. Over the past 600 years, dozens of generations of emperors have continued to fund the development of the church.
, and eventually became a country. For 600 years, dozens of generations of nearly one million soldiers of the Black Dragon Knights have been here, guarding the southern gate of the Holy Church. For 600 years, soldiers, please look to your right, what is that?
?That is the collective cemetery of the Black Dragon Knights who died in the war over the past 600 years. I remember the number of the cemetery counted three years ago: 152,304. We have 152,304 ancestors who died in the war. Who did they die for? I still need to tell you the answer.
What?!”
Stormy words baptized the soldiers again and again.
"However, on the night when the imperial capital fell, His Majesty the Holy See Pope and 20 Cardinal Archbishops openly announced: 'The God of Light they believe in has given up on the Amy Empire and the Amy Empire that defends their territory.
Soldiers, the God of Light believes that only the Faunos Beastmen are the masters of this Eminor continent. 'All the attacks we have seen from the Faunos Legion before were actually ordered by the Holy Church.
It was they who betrayed the layout of our legion, causing tens of thousands of soldiers in the empire to be stained with snow on the battlefield, and causing the loss of more than half of the Fire Lion Legion, one of the four elites of the empire."
"Soldiers -" Chi Aotian shouted tearingly in the air: "You guys, tell me, with the Holy Church's approach, do we choose surrender or war?"
More than 10,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people watching from Tongyunguan thundered with the same voice: "War! War! War! Bloodbath Uru! Sweep the Holy Church!"
Chi Aotian waved his hand gently in the sky.
"Soldiers, I now need 5,000 of the best Black Dragon Knights. Only 5,000, not one more. Please consider it carefully. The day after tomorrow, any warriors who are willing to join me in the northern expedition, please gather here. I just want
5,000 people, the first 5,000 soldiers who arrived here will go with me."
After pondering for a moment, Chi Aotian added his opinion: "The registration for this expedition does not include the soldiers of the Heavy Knights. We will go 3,000 miles deep into the enemy's hinterland and will not be able to get enough food supplies. However,
If you knights of the Heavy Knights are willing, you can send your trainee knights to participate in this Northern Expedition, but you must obtain your consent."
This was one of the only two long speeches he made in the life of the Black-Faced Dragon King. The high quality of this speech attracted the attention of the world. The extensive citations of data during this period made most historians look at him with suspicion. In fact, for the dwarves,
For such a long-lived race, 500 years... is only 1/3 of a lifetime. Horns's father once witnessed Moe Ikeda's demeanor during his expedition, and of course Horns would not be too unfamiliar with it.
In a nutshell, instead of using this speech to say that Chi Aotian is an extremely good speaker, it would be more accurate to say that he was deeply hurt, hated deeply, and his true feelings were revealed just right.
