The so-called mission naturally refers to going to local places to establish branch churches and monasteries.
In the ancient church system, the clergy of the church are divided into the priest system and the monk system. The basic organizational unit of the priests is the church, which belongs to the province-parish system. The top manager of each parish is the priest. Generally, the priest is the priest. In this case, the basic organizational unit of a parish is a village, town, or city. Several adjacent parishes form a diocese, and the top manager is the bishop.
On this basis, multiple adjacent dioceses can form an ecclesiastical province, with the highest administrator being the archbishop, and further up, almost to the position of the pope.
In addition to the Archbishop, the Church also has a College of Cardinals, which function similarly to a Senate or a Council.
As for the monastic system, it refers to monasteries and orders. In the ancient church system, the monastic system has existed for a long time. It is parallel to the priest system and is not subordinate to each other and cannot even govern. Although they all recognize the supreme status of the Pope, many monasteries are just It nominally obeys the orders of the Pope, but is actually a faith-based organization independent of the church.
In order to no longer cause chaos in the church system, Mawei divided the monastery into a preaching place for townships and towns, and unified the status of the church priests to a higher level. In this way, the archbishop, the highest administrator of the original province, became independent. out.
In view of the vast territory of the Romanov Kingdom, the original provincial system would produce multiple archbishops, which was inconsistent with Mavey’s vision. Therefore, Mavey created several neighboring archbishops on the basis of provinces and parishes. An archbishop is elected from the ecclesiastical province and enters the center of the church to assist the pope.
The original church system was too complicated. This was the system arranged after Mawei filtered it out, and it also included vampire autonomous regions like Chelyabinsk.
The 300 monks trained by Mawei will go to various places, spread like dandelion seeds, and take root in various cities in the Romanov Kingdom.
Compared with the vast land of the Romanov Kingdom, 300 monks seemed a bit inadequate. With an obvious shortage of manpower, Ma Wei had to continue to train monks, and at the same time gave the monks sent out certain recruitment rights, allowing them to screen out the available ones. The believers will be included in the church system after passing the assessment.
In order to prevent some believers with shaky beliefs from mixing in, the members recruited from these places must be strictly reviewed by the central church where Ma Wei belongs.
"It would be nice if Mr. Holmes was here..."
As the church was established step by step, Ma Wei felt more and more that his energy was insufficient. He was unable to do all the work on his own and needed the help of other core members. However, Dino, Christopher, Salina, and Lai Wen all had their own affairs and could not spare any time. Too much time passed, and Mavi needed a helper with keen judgment and superhuman intelligence.
Every time like this, he would think of Deloch Holmes who was far away in the Kingdom of Windsor.
Based on the abilities shown by Diloch Holmes, he is exactly the helper Mavi needs most.
Ma Wei believes that the review of locally recruited members can only be dealt with later. The top priority is to help Katerina ascend to the throne and establish the overall situation.
Ma Wei was still a little sad that he couldn't take things easy like before and leave things to others to manage.
"Boss, they are all gone."
At dusk, Laiwen walked into the study and said to Mawei who was flipping through the parchment.
"Have all the magic rings been divided?"
"They're all divided." The message nodded and asked: "The magic rings they took away were only the thunder spear and the bard's chant. Isn't it too weak?"
"That's enough for the time being." Ma Wei put down the parchment and said, "The bard's singing can remove the negative effects. This is the most important thing for believers. They can't control more powerful magic, not to mention the risk of leakage. ..."
The parchments left behind by the Apocalypse Cult are the core magic currently mastered by the Church of Truth. There are 35 types in total, excluding water mist, black sun, minstrel's chant, thunder spear, penetrating magic, and the Holy Sword of Dawn. In addition to the 6 kinds of magic, there are 29 kinds of magic that have not been produced.
These magics also include many high-sequence magics, but most of them have harsh activation conditions, so Ma Wei didn't take them out before.
These high-sequence ancient magics are highly confidential and must not be leaked. Once the Wisdom God Religion gets the ring, they will be able to produce the same magic. In this way, what other surprise methods does the Church of Truth have?
Judging from the current situation, it is enough to mass-produce some sufficient magic. Undeveloped ancient sacred objects like the Siren's Tears must be properly kept.
Ma Wei flipped through the parchments, looking for any magic that could be used.
"How is the situation at the newspaper office? How many newspapers has Li Seld published?"
"There are already two million copies of the first Pravda, and they can be distributed at will," the communication said.
"It's still too little..."
Two million newspapers, compared with the Romanov Kingdom's public literacy rate, is actually completely sufficient, but Mawei plans to launch a fierce public opinion campaign, in conjunction with the monks who have arrived in various cities and towns, as well as those who will soon be in the Senate. Katerina proposed the law.
No one knows whether Paul I will order the whole country to ban this newspaper when he sees the first Pravda. Therefore, printing a few more issues and distributing them in a very short period of time will have the best effect.
This is also the tactical theory that Ma Wei has always pursued - either stay still or... make a surprise move.
In the seemingly peaceful atmosphere, dark clouds have already gathered. Ma Wei's first move is to send out monks. It depends on how the Wisdom Cult responds.
....................................................
The internal affairs officer hurriedly walked into the splendid office, as if he had not seen the weird and ridiculous movements of Paul I who was lying on the sofa teasing Kerulu. He lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Archbishop Henry is here to see you."
"Let him in."
The house officer turned around to send a message, and not long after, an old man wearing a blue archbishop's robe and a slender white beard walked in holding a scepter.
Archbishop Henry saw Paul I's extremely ridiculous actions and his eyes darkened: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
"Ke Lulu doesn't like to eat a lot lately. She probably doesn't move enough. I want her to exercise more..." Paul I said without raising his head while holding a toy similar to a dog's tail grass.
"But you should be dealing with government affairs now."
"We'll deal with it in a moment, and we can't run away if we leave it there."
"..."
Archbishop Henry sighed in his heart. Ever since he adopted Kelulu, Paul I seemed to be a different person, holding him in his arms all day long.
This little coquettish bitch is indeed very good at playing with Paul I's hot and cold attitude. He doesn't think about food and tea. It has been several weeks since he spent the night in the queen's room.
If the queen hadn't found him, Archbishop Henry wouldn't have known about it...
"His Majesty...."
After waving his hand to the internal affairs officer to close the door, Archbishop Henry said in a deep voice: "The Church of Truth is taking action."
"Um?"
The swinging feather stick suddenly froze in the air. Paul I turned around and finally asked seriously: "What did they do?"
"According to the report of our informant in Mosk, the Church of Truth sent 300 monks the morning before yesterday. They either took the train to the nearest city or set off on horseback to the east. If my prediction is correct, they should be going somewhere A branch church has been established in the city.”
With his eyebrows twitching, Paul I sat upright, thought for a moment, and asked: "Archbishop, what do you think of passing a law to prohibit church activities other than the Wisdom of God?"
"It's inappropriate. Doing so will arouse resistance from the Truth Church. Just like Your Majesty, you dare not directly deprive Her Royal Highness Katerina of her military power. Directly banning the Truth Church's preaching activities will instantly cause a coup."
"Then what should we do? We can't just leave them alone!"
Archbishop Henry, who wants to ensure that the Goddess of Truth completes her promotion on the prophesied day and also limits the development momentum of the Church of Truth, has thought of a way: "We should find out the means that the Church of Truth may use. If they want to launch a coup, they must get the people If that’s the case, why not block this road before they do?”
Paul I didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, and looked at Archbishop Henry in confusion.
"To put it simply, we are rushing to abolish serfdom before the Truth Church." Archbishop Henry explained: "In this way, the Truth Church's best method of gaining support from believers will be useless."
"....are you joking?"
"I'm not kidding, Your Majesty, I'm serious."
Paul I suddenly felt a headache. He patted his forehead and didn't know what to say.
Everyone knows that he was able to gain the support of the aristocracy and successfully ascend the throne because he promised the aristocracy great benefits, one of which was to strengthen serfdom and give the nobility greater benefits.
If serfdom is abolished, won't the aristocracy be in trouble?
When the time comes for the aristocrats to unite to boycott this law, what should he, the king, do?
Forced through?
Wouldn't that drive the aristocrats to their opposite side?
To know....
In the history of the Romanov Kingdom, there were many kings who were healthy but suddenly died of illness...
Among them was his father, Peter the Great.
"No, serfdom must not be abolished!" Paul I said firmly: "Let's find another way."
"Your Majesty, I think this is the only way to restrict the Church of Truth." Archbishop Henry sincerely advised: "If you are worried about the aristocracy's resistance to the proposal to abolish serfdom, we, the Wisdom Cult, can help you solve the problem."
"If the Wisdom Cult attacks the noble faction, wouldn't it mean to drive them into Katerina's camp?"
"If they dare to run into Her Royal Highness Katerina's camp, the only thing that will greet them is death."
"No...no...absolutely not!"
Paul I repeatedly denied: "The aristocratic faction holds military power and has a large number of people. It is impossible to get rid of them in a short time. Once we take action against them, it will inevitably arouse civil strife! The worst case scenario may even cause division! I never agree. ! Even if I die, the Romanov Kingdom cannot be divided!"
At this moment, Archbishop Henry finally saw in Paul I some of the shadow and momentum that a king should have, but...
This momentum appeared at the wrong time.
"Go down, I want to think about the countermeasures." Paul I issued an eviction order.
"....As you command."
Archbishop Henry nodded, left the room, and walked alone in the large and empty corridor, with sunlight and shadows interlaced, and his eyes...
He is also gradually becoming indifferent.
