The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 759 Understanding
  The handover process was unexpectedly smooth and simple. No goblin jumped out to ask questions. Everyone accepted the facts calmly. Even now, they still don't know who the new leader is.

This should be regarded as a characteristic of theocratic organizations. Even for an immature organization like the God of Cookery, when instructions are given based on the divine metaphor of the Lord of Serving, even if it is the first time for new members to participate in the secret gathering, everyone will They also silently accepted the fact that the other party climbed on top of them.

If this were to be placed in the real world outside, it would obviously cause a lot of trouble. Unless Albad exposed his legendary power, he might be able to barely convince everyone.

With a pair of eyes that showed strong pressure, Albad walked up to the high platform and looked down at the dozen men below who could not even name them now. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, this meeting was just to push Albad to the position of leader, and there was no need to explain too much. After Albad gave a majestic speech, he sent the others away. , leaving only Blanco, Zelang and a few other senior officials.

"Master, I am Cohan, the first priest of the Missionary Court of the God of Cookery..."

The palace gate was slowly closed from the inside, and then a mysterious magic barrier slowly rose from the surrounding walls with intricate carvings, cutting off any magic and props that could spy on the situation inside the palace.

It was only then that several high-level goblins took off the masks on their heads, exposing their true appearance to Albad's eyes.

Albad paid attention to several goblin talents. He felt a little impressed by the faces of Cohan, Xie Ni, Luwa, and Zelang. He seemed to have glanced at them somewhere, but he heard them begin to introduce themselves. When he came up with his own name, he didn't know anything about it. Obviously, these core figures in the association were not well-known in the tribe.

In order to ensure the secrecy of the God of Cookery Society as much as possible, the relationship between superiors and subordinates in the society is a one-way connection. At the same time, apart from facial masks, necessary code gestures and other means of identifying identities, each other will basically not reveal their respective identities in reality.

Except for the six core senior executives who are currently staying in the palace, only the direct superiors of other members of the God of Cookery can know the identities of the next level. The identities of the members of the next level cannot be known by the superiors, which avoids being Arresting and interrogating people will bring damage to the organization, although the efficiency will definitely be lower.

"I need the roster of all the key members of the association, as well as the organizational structure of the association."

Arbad had no intention of revealing his identity. He still wore a bronze mask that could conceal the fluctuations in his mental power, and opened his mouth to make his request.

"By the way, each of your departments would like to give you a general introduction to the size of the members of your department. I hope to be familiar with the situation in the meeting as soon as possible."

"The roster has been prepared, sir."

Zelang leaned down, picked up a thick stack of documents from the back of his chair, walked slowly up to the high platform, and placed it in front of the desk next to Albad.

"The first division under my command currently has 13,799 goblins as official members, and another 10,171 goblins who are still in the observation and development stages..."

"I……"

The several chief priests reported the data under their respective jurisdictions in an orderly manner, with a bit of pride on their faces. Today, the followers of the God of Cookery are all over the strongholds and towns of the Green Field Tribe, and there are tens of thousands of members under each department. If these believers are to pay the price, then the largest religious group on the territory of the Green Field Tribe will most likely change from the Oak Church to the God of Cookery.

But Albad, who was extremely surprised when he heard the summarization of these numbers, didn't show it at all on his face.

"The scale looks good, but I would like to know, apart from your missionary court, are there any other branches under the God of Cookery?"

"This, as well as the Doctrine Department under my jurisdiction, has a small number of members. It is mainly responsible for recording and studying our Lord's daily teachings, forming the cornerstone of our religion's teachings."

"At the same time, I also serve as the sacramental department of the God of Food Society, responsible for the daily operation of the underground palace complex where we are now, as well as the management and distribution of corresponding resources and other logistical work."

Zelang knew the identity of the new leader in front of him. He was the first to know and tell Blanco about Albad's replacement as the leader. At this time, he stood up immediately after hearing the inquiry. , although the eyes covered by a layer of white film are blurry, but the strong mental power can still see all the movements within a few meters of the surroundings clearly, even in some aspects, they can see better than Cohan and others. More clearly.

"..."

Albad waited quietly for the goblins to continue reporting, but after a dozen breaths passed, no one among the goblins made a sound, which made him frown slightly.

"Does the God of Cookery only have a few departments?"

"……Yes."

Blanco lowered his head and replied in shame.

Blanco himself has his own job in Green Lake Town, which requires a lot of time. In addition, he knows nothing about starting a new theocratic organization and has no experience. All they can do is to start a new theocratic organization from next door. The Oak Church, the Natural Church and other existing theocratic sects learned from their experience and imitated them to create such a God of Cookery.

But to be honest, what the theocratic organization can show to the world is often not too important. The real core thing Blanco and the others are definitely out of reach, and in the end they can only create such a nondescript God of Cookery.

"As well as your preaching court, how do you select the priests and priests who preach below? And how do you convey the newly compiled doctrines of the Ministry of Doctrine to them? At the same time, how do you ensure the level and ability of the preaching priests?"

"This……"

Several smug goblins could not help but slowly lower their heads under Albad's continuous questions, not daring to face Albad's sharp eagle eyes.

"I'm sorry. Our focus is basically on keeping secrets and spreading our Lord's faith. We are indeed lacking in many other aspects."

In the end, Zelang stood up and took the initiative to admit their problems, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Although the clan leader gave Blanco and the others a lot of support, most of the truly intelligent and capable goblins would not They believe in the so-called faith easily, but they believe more in the strength of the tribe and themselves.

Without the participation and participation of such talents, it can be said that the clumsy efforts of talents such as Blanco, Zelang, and Cohan can manage the God of Cookery to its current level, which can be said to be the limit of their abilities. "Give me a few days to familiarize myself with the situation of the God of Cookery Association, and then I will reorganize the God of Cookery Association. There are some things that you need to prepare in advance. The first thing is to give a copy from the existing goblin backbone after returning. List.”

"These names on the list must have clear information about their abilities, talents, family backgrounds, past experiences, etc."

"We'll get ready when we get back."

"I also need a copy of the current teachings of the God of Cookery Society. From the founding of the Society to the present, the changes in teachings throughout the ages. Prepare a copy for me in chronological order."

"I have stored it in the study room and can refer to it at any time."

Zelang replied in a deep voice.

"and also……"

Albad acted vigorously and resolutely. Even when his subordinates were not familiar with it, he directly gave Blanco and the others what he needed and asked them to prepare it for him.

After telling Blanco and the others everything he could think of, he waved to signal the end of today's meeting, leaving only Zelang alone, while the others went back to the real world area along the underground passage to continue playing their roles. character of.

"I would also like to trouble you to take me acquainted with the conditions of this underground palace."

Albad already knows that Zelang has become Allen's first priest. For the Allen clan leader who can communicate directly through prayers thousands of miles away, his loyalty and importance to the Allen clan leader is naturally self-evident. , so although he has been a legendary powerhouse recently, he still maintained the necessary respect when facing Zelang.

"This is what I should do, my lord."

Zelang bent slightly and replied respectfully: "Please go this way."

"This building complex has the underground palace as its core and radiates in four directions. In the direction of the passage when you came in, sir, there are hundreds of labyrinths that confuse outsiders. It is also our main battlefield and warning area to guard against foreign invasion."

"On the left side of the main hall is the daily living area and office area for our members on duty. There are currently 59 members on duty in the underground temple, 20 of whom are on duty in the security area."

"On the right side of the main hall is the place where our members practice teachings and pray. Every year we organize middle-level and above members in the association to study and convey our Lord's new teachings to everyone. There are also many separate prayer rooms for our convenience. Prayer and Confession.”

"The apse is the storehouse of important materials in the meeting, as well as the storage place of various precious scriptures and divine gifts. All kinds of information collected and transmitted by believers every day will be transmitted to the apse through the copper pipe system connected to the ground. Information room.”

"It seems that the scale here is not small, so how much time did you spend building it?"

"Since my Lord gave us the instructions, we have been digging the underground temple for more than 20 years, and now we have the underground palace complex."

When he said this, Zelang's face gradually gained a bit of pride, and his dull eyes seemed to take on a bit of color.

"Well, then where did your resources and labor come from? How did you manage to build the underground temple without any leakage and dispose of the excess construction waste?"

"In terms of resources, the clan leader has privately withheld some of them through the channels of the United Chamber of Commerce..."

From Zelang's mouth, Albad got a lot of first-hand information. Combined with the data obtained in the previous brief report, he had completed a preliminary understanding of the God of Cookery Society that he had just taken over.

This God of Cookery Society, which is hidden in the darkness of the tribe, has developed even longer than the time when the patriarch was promoted to demigod. It can be seen that the far-sighted patriarch had already started planning for the future many years ago.

The current scale of the God of Cookery is definitely not worth mentioning among the church forces, and may not be as good as the evil organization called the King of Jackals, but in Albad's view, it still has great potential. Excluding the quasi-believers who are still in the observation and development period, the number of real believers absorbed by the God of Cookery has now reached 40,000. According to Zelang, most of these confirmed believers have relatively firm beliefs, and the quality of their beliefs is comparable to that of Pan-Continent. Those churches are much more powerful.

Today's followers of the God of Cookery are spread throughout the territory of the Green Field Tribe, from Auror Town in the south to Rapids Bay in the north. To the east, you can see Namur Fortress, and to the west, there are tens of thousands of migrating goblin tribesmen to Fate Fortress. There are even radical goblin preachers who have begun to establish a group of believers in the Nasir Fortress and recruit chefs from the Snomi and Crow Claw tribes. After all, these guys respect the God of Cookery no less than the gods they blindly believe in.

But it is true that as the patriarch said when he had a talk with him at that time, the current expansion of the God of Cookery and the rigid need for confidentiality have caused conflicts, which has caused the God of Cookery to fall into a bottleneck period and needs a wise and loyal goblin backbone. Come and lead everyone.

At least in terms of intelligence, Albad is still a little confident. Although he is not as talented as the clan leader, other goblins in the clan may be better than him in some professional aspects, but in terms of comprehensive quality and vision, his own The advantage is obvious.

The God of Cookery Society in front of Albad seems to be thriving day by day, with the number of believers steadily increasing every day, but there are also many problems revealed in it.

For example, in the four departments of the mission hall, with the expansion of the believer groups that split off under their departments, the original division of areas became chaotic, and many areas of each other were you among me and you among me. In terms of external expansion, the chief priests of the four divisions also have a strong sense of competition with each other. They are engaged in fierce competition in preaching in several satellite towns around Green Lake Town, which has resulted in a lot of wastage and waste of resources.

Another example is that the authority of the subordinate branches within the association is vague. Take the missionary court as an example. They not only need to spread the faith and develop believers, but also invest a lot of energy in collecting information for the association and promptly disseminating information that may expose believers' beliefs due to unintentional mistakes.

In addition, the missionary court also investigates and punishes believers who violate the doctrine, and retaliates and silences those who rebel against the God of Cookery.

So much tedious work actually inhibits the essential work of the members of the missionary court, and invisibly slows down the speed at which they spread their faith. If the preaching members of the missionary court were separated from these matters and only allowed to concentrate on preaching, with the image of Alan, the patriarch of the tribe, as a tall and majestic god of war in the hearts of the tribe, then the scale of the God of Cookery would definitely be even larger now.

There were too many problems that required Albad to plan and solve them. In a daze, he seemed to feel that his choice seemed to be wrong again. With the current cumbersome and heavy tasks of the God of Cookery, how could he have any free time to study his own problems? The path of magic! !
