Before coming to the northwest this time, he was still a little unimpressed.
Although I had long heard that this Darling Chen had built a city in the northwest enclosure, the original impression of the northwest was that it was barren and sparsely populated.
In his mind, the so-called new city built by Darling Chen in the northwest was probably just a dilapidated village.
But when he really came to this new city, Bishop Sinclair was shocked This new city built of loess bricks is not bad if it is beautiful, but at least it looks very imposing, and the building is quite grand.
The houses and walls are atmospheric enough, and the streets are wide enough.
Although the population is not very large now, the small town of 10,000 people seems to be bustling.
What caught Sinclair's eye the most was the temple The temple of the Warrior Cult Every evening, Sinclair stood on the second floor of his apartment, watching the sunset, and could hear the faint sound of prayer and singing in the wind.
The strange song and the vague lyrics made him feel very uncomfortable, and the so-called "cultists" in white robes made Sinclair, a devout follower of the goddess, feel uneasy He could clearly feel that the expressions and eyes on the faces of those believers in white robes were all pious enough and even individual, and there would be a faint crazy light flashing in their eyes.
This kind of light, Sinclair is no stranger to this kind of thing, called "fanaticism", in the Holy Knights and Inquisition of the Temple of Light, the most devout believers, and occasionally some people will show such a gaze.
The temple was magnificent, though it looked a little shabby.
If it is compared to the Cathedral of the Temple of Light in the imperial capital, the foundation accumulated for thousands of years will naturally be much more dilapidated.
But in this northwest.
But it's shocking enough.
In particular, Sinclair watched from the sidelines for a few days, and these followers of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect prayed and sang every evening.
There is a complete set of etiquette, a complete set of processes.
This made Sinclair even more uneasy Although there have been some other religions in the north and south of the Roland Empire since the empire opened the ban on religion, in Sinclair's opinion, they are all ignorant liars who are fooling around and defrauding money in petty fights, and even many religions do not even have a complete set of doctrines.
But this nascent Peerless Martial Saint Sect.
But Sinclair is like a great enemy Darling Chen is undoubtedly a religious genius, he has formulated a complete set of doctrines, a complete set of liturgical norms, a complete set of prayer processes for this Peerless Martial Saint Sect, and even set a set of relatively rigorous internal personnel structure settings that are very good in Sinclair's opinion: a general pyramid-shaped structure.
It can be seen that this Peerless Martial Saint Sect is by no means just a joke, and this Darling Chen has ambitions that make Sinclair fear The most complicated thing in Sinclair's heart was that he even had a faint envy for Darling Chen's Peerless Martial Saint Sect Yes, it's envy.
In Darling Chen's territory.
The Peerless Martial Saint Sect is the only religion.
That's it.
What made Sinclair, a veteran goddess believer, feel envious and even jealous the most was that Darling Chen had inadvertently accomplished something that the Temple of Light had wanted to do for a thousand years but had not been able to do: caesaropapism In Darling Chen's domain, Darling Chan himself is the supreme leader of the Church.
At the same time, he is also the supreme leader of the ruling here.
Civil Affairs, Production, Construction, Government Affairs, Military, Culture and Religion All the powers are one.
Almost every household here believes in the Wushuang Martial Saint Sect, and every family has believers, or divine servants of the church.
At the same time, they are the people of Darling Chen, the craftsmen.
Farmer, soldier It's almost a small kingdom of its own, a perfect blend of government and religion Something that the Temple of Light has wanted to do for a thousand years but has not been able to do.
But here he was done by this Darling Chen, even though his territory and population were still very weak. can think about the fact that the Temple of Light has been tirelessly fighting against the royal family of the Roland Empire for a thousand years, isn't this the situation that he wants Based on such a mentality.
In the past few days, almost every evening, Sinclair can't help but quietly run into the street, come to the street where the temple is located, and watch from a distance for a while.
Watching the devotees pious prayers and singing, during the day, they would take off their white devotees' robes, put on their work clothes, burn bricks, work as carpenters, blacksmiths, or take up arms as soldiers to patrol But in the evening, they would put on the robes of the believers and come to pray.
The more Sinclair looked at it, the more he felt envious of what he dreamed of, at least in his heart, that a theocratic kingdom should be like this.
It's a pity that they don't worship goddesses.
It's that what is about what the martial god hums heathen Sinclair didn't wear her own gown, in fact, the day after arriving in the new city, Sinclair found herself an outlier.
This place is full of believers of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, and if he goes out wearing the red robe of the Bishop of the Temple of Light, he is almost like a lamb thrown into the wolves, which is really too eye-catching Wherever he went, he was watched and looked at with strange eyes.
Because the exclusion of dissidents and the exclusive respect for the religion are not something that the Temple of Light will do.
The Wushuang Martial Saint Sect founded by Chen Daolin also has a similar article in its teachings: except for the Wushuang Martial God, all other religions are false gods Here, Sinclair is helpless to find that he is a heretic.
Dressed in an ordinary linen robe borrowed from a servant, the bishop was able to walk the streets in peace.
There was some jamming at the other end of the street.
A house on the street was crushed by heavy snow the other day.
Originally, if it was in the imperial capital, no one would care about this kind of thing, and the homeowner could only consider himself unlucky.
But here, in Darling Chan's territory.
The situation is very different.
In the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, there is an organization called the "Brotherhood".

This organization is not a full-time organization, but a group of devout believers in the church. as well as some members with higher prestige.
Based on the doctrine compiled by Dorin Chen, this organization promotes the doctrine of love and mutual help for all believers in the church.
The members of the fraternity are diverse.
But it draws only some of the most devout members of the faith, with strict rules and procedures.
The members of the brotherhood do the most on weekdays, which is to visit everywhere, and if there is something difficult in the believer's family, the brotherhood will try to lend a helping hand to carry forward the atmosphere of brotherhood and love for the family.
The owner of this house on the street, which was crushed by snow, happened to be a believer.
And the Brotherhood got the news.
He organized the members of the brotherhood to be craftsmen, and when they were on vacation, they came to this house to help build the house.
This assistance is purely compulsory and does not receive a penny.
As the host, it is enough to provide these craftsmen with meals when they are working.
This approach of the Brotherhood undoubtedly greatly strengthened the internal cohesion of the nascent church.
Let more and more people feel the superiority of joining the church.
To put it bluntly, I feel that when I join this church, I have a sense of security and steadfastness that I have a great backer and someone to help me when I encounter difficulties.
After a long time, it is naturally the desire of the people.
The sense of belonging to the church has also become stronger.
Although the members of the fraternity are obligated to provide all kinds of assistance to the outside world, they also have a set of punishment mechanisms internally.
In the fraternity, there will also be regular members who have performed well in the club.
That is, in the recent past, advanced elements who have done a lot of things to help others have been commended.
Those who receive the commendation will be received by the High Priest of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect, Lord Darling Chen.
Lord Darling Chan will give the medal and it will be recorded.
In the coming year, when there is a change of office within the church, these outstanding members of the fraternity will be promoted within the church.
Sinclair heard that just before the New Year, a member of the fraternity had been honored for his recent outstanding performance.
Then the status was elevated from a servant of God to a full believer.
There is also a formal believer, who has also been promoted to deacon.
The current personnel structure of the Peerless Martial Saint Sect.
Order from lowest to highest.
In order: members of the Divine Servant, informal believers, and regular believers.
Deacons, bishops, priests, high priests.
The Supreme Leader, the High Priest, is naturally Darling Chan himself.
I heard that the core of his subordinates, the lady of his elven clan, sat in the position of a priest.
Baron Pierre, the head of the interior of the new town, also occupied the position of priest.
I heard that the young lady of the Liszt family also occupied the position of a priest.
Of the four priesthoods, one has been vacant for the time being, and it is said that Darling Chan is preparing to select a backbone of the army to fill it.
This made Sinclair a little uneasy.
The army under Chen Daolin's command is naturally second to none, and the person who is second to none is naturally Montoya, except for this holy knight, where is he more important to others But Montoya was born in the Temple of Light, but he was a genuine Holy Knight, and he was a candidate for the head of the Holy Knights Sinclair came to the northwest, in addition to showing the Temple of Light's attraction to Darling Chen, and also had an important mission, which was to contact Montoya and Ade, the two people who had come out of the church to follow Darling Chen, in the name of Pope Heynckes.
These two people are now the backbone core under Darling Chen, and the church naturally wants to make a good comparison between these two wandering people, and even beat one or two.
They can't really forget their Ben and forget their identity as goddess believers But what made Sinclair feel depressed was that he hadn't even gotten a chance to have a private contact with Montoya after coming for several days.
Except for the first day of the knighthood ceremony, Montoya attended in public, and Sinclair did not have a chance to say a few words to Montoya.
That is, they greeted each other and saluted.
I remember that at that time, Montoya's impression of Sinclair was: cold.
Montoya just saluted Sinclair according to the etiquette, and then stepped aside, which made Sinclair feel a little bad in his heart.
When he was in the imperial capital, he knew Montoya, and the two were no strangers to each other.
After all, one is an archbishop and the other is a candidate for the head of the Holy Knights, both of whom are considered high-ranking members of the church, and it is normal for them to know each other well.
But when Montoya met in the northwest this time, when she saw Sinclair, she didn't seem to have the meaning of reminiscing.
The only thing that comforted Sinclair was that when she saluted, Montoya performed the ritual of a holy knight in the church.

But the problem is that in the next time, Sinclair wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Montoya in private, and by the way, to convey the church's attention and importance to him, but he could never find the opportunity again.
Montoya just left immediately after attending Chen Daolin's knighthood ceremony.
Sinclair visited twice, only to be told that Lord Montoya was busy with military affairs and had gone to the Northwest Fortress to the north to inspect the defense line and put things in order.
As for Ade, who is in the other church, his position is not so important.
According to Sinclair's understanding, Montoya can be said to be the first military person under Darling Chen, and that Ade is obviously not as important as Montoya, but was sent by Darling Chen to Paning to be a liaison officer, as for the military observation group and the like, Sinclair has no concept at all.
What made Sinclair feel helpless the most was that his task was not completed, so he naturally couldn't go back to the imperial capital in such a hurry.
But the knighthood ceremony has ended, but he doesn't leave.
At first, Darling Chen was still very polite to himself, and would come to see him once a day to talk to him a few words, but then he gradually ignored it and left himself to the Baron Pierre.
The Baron Pierre, however, did not have the slightest good face, and although his attitude was quite polite, it was obviously much colder.
Especially that old face, every time I stare at myself, that face seems to say: What are you still doing here?
Fortunately, there was a war going on in the southern Panin defense area, which gave Bishop Sinclair a reason to continue: the roads were not safe during the war.
But I relied on it, and it seemed that it had been almost ten days.
The news of the great victory in Panin in the south has arrived.
At this moment, Bishop Sinclair could not find an excuse even if he wanted to stay.
Thankfully, it was at this time that Montoya finally returned.
I wish you all a happy new year and good health for the whole family ` ` To be continued “”:
