Chapter 765: Appointment as the Head of the Judgment Office

A church priest, such a big pomp?

Looking at Shan Ze walking towards him and the twelve members of the Holy See behind him, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Holy Son of the Mortal World, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming? You could have let me take you all to the outside of the church gate to greet you!"

Shan Ze walked closer with a smile on his face and said enthusiastically.

"It's too hypocritical. I don't have any contact information. How can I tell you in advance?"

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched slightly and he complained in his heart.

Immediately, he said with a smile on his face: "Priest Shanze is too polite, how dare I bother you to go out to greet you?"

"Holy Son Fanchen will be the head of the Judgment Hall from now on. He is not below me in terms of rank, so please don't say such words to undermine me."

Shan Ze bowed his hands towards Jiang Chen, then looked at the group of people behind him and said, "Everyone, why don't you come and meet the new hall master soon!"

Twelve members of the Holy See immediately bent down and shouted respectfully: "See the Master of Fanchen Hall!"

"You are?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"They are my subordinates. These four are church deacons and these eight are church deacons."

Shan Ze introduced the four men and eight women behind him.

"Your subordinate?"

Jiang Chen asked slightly surprised.

"I mean, they're subordinate to me in terms of rank."

Shan Zesan smiled and then said: "Of course, they are also subordinates of the Holy Son of Mortals. If you have any instructions, just ask."

Hearing this, Jiang Chen just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Although he is not very clear about the hierarchy of the Holy See, he also knows that the church and the tribunal are actually two institutions of the Holy See, with different functions.

The church is mainly responsible for preaching, joining the church, handling academic affairs, and operating and building the Holy See industry.

The mission of the Judgment House is mainly to judge heretics and cultists, and it is a violent institution.

In most cases, there isn't much overlap between the two.

And their respective superiors actually have no right to order the other party's subordinates.

For example, if Shan Ze thinks someone is a heretic and wants to eradicate him, he cannot directly mobilize the judges of the tribunal.

We can only inform the boss of the tribunal, Jiang Chen, and let Jiang Chen issue the order.

Similarly, Jiang Chen cannot directly mobilize church deacons or nuns to do things for him.

To put it simply, one belongs to the "military officer" and the other belongs to the "civilian officer".

Therefore, Jiang Chen thought that just listen to what Shan Ze said, and don't take it seriously.

Moreover, Jiang Chen is not sure why the other party is so enthusiastic about him. There may be other purposes hidden in it, and he must not get too involved with it.

What's more important is that even if he wants to have a relationship, Jiang Chen can't have a relationship with a priest. At least he has to be a bishop in white who is in charge of the entire church to be worthy of him getting close.

Of course, he has just taken up his post, so he still can't be too indifferent to the other party's overtures, just stay polite.

"By the way, Priest Shanze, I would like to ask you, who should I contact when joining the company?"

Immediately, Jiang Chen asked.

"The Holy Son of Mortal World can just go directly to the Judgment Office. I have already passed on the news of your arrival. Someone will greet you."

Shanze replied.

"Thank you."

Jiang Chen cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

"It's a small matter, Holy Son of Heaven, please!"

Shan Ze stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Immediately, Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards the left side of the hall.

There is a long indoor walkway, and after walking out along it, there is an open space.

Further forward is a corridor.

Jiang Chen came to the corridor and kept moving forward.

Soon, a quaint domed building appeared at the end of the field of vision.

Its walls are made of gray-black stone bricks, which have weathered the weather and look old.

On the door of the building, there are also the words "Judgment Hall" written on it.

This is the core building of the Qiantian City Religious Judgment Office - the Judgment Hall.

This is also why the boss of the tribunal is called Hall Master.

Jiang Chen quickly moved forward and arrived at the gate of the Judgment Hall.

There are also two guards standing here wearing armor, carrying bucklers and swords. They are knights of the Holy See.

At the same time, a strong man in his thirties wearing a long white coat walked over quickly.

It can be seen that he is also carrying a cross-shaped weapon on his back.

"Meet Hall Master Fanchen!"

As soon as he saw Jiang Chen, he clenched his fists in front of his chest and bowed.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"This is Sono, captain of the seventh trial team of the Judgment Center."

The man named Sono replied.

"The Seventh Judgment Team..."

Jiang Chen groaned, then asked: "Why did you come to pick me up?"

"Back to the Hall Master, I got the news from Lord Shanze that you are coming to take up the post, so I rushed here to greet you."

Sono said very respectfully.

"I see."

Jiang Chen nodded and suddenly said: "It seems that you have a good relationship with Priest Shanze."

"Well……"

Sono was stunned for a moment, and he was about to speak.

Jiang Chen interrupted him: "Let's go, take me to work."

"Okay, Lord Hall Master."

Sono quickly led the way to the Judgment Hall.

This is a very dark lobby. The floors and walls are all made of very rough black stone bricks without any decoration.

There is only a long table and a chair above the lobby.

What's a little confusing is that it's quiet here and there's no one else around.

Jiang Chen had been here before, and he remembered that there were usually people on duty here.

Where have people gone?

Just as he was preparing to ask questions during the exam.

Sono, who was on the side, came to the top of the hall, pointed to a round token on the long table and said: "Lord Master, this is your Hall Master Order. As long as you accept it, you will be officially appointed."

"Is the appointment process that simple?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. He quickly stepped forward and picked up the white token on the table.

[You have obtained the order of the leader of the Qiantian City Religious Judgment Office! 】

[You have become the leader of the Qiantian City Religious Judgment Office! 】

The system prompts immediately.

"It's really that simple..."

Jiang Chen groaned, and then said: "Where are the other people in the tribunal?"

Sono replied: "Sir, today is the monthly holiday. Everyone is resting in the backyard."

Jiang Chen then asked: "How many people are there in our adjudication office?"

Sono: "Sir, we have three major groups in total, namely the Holy See Knights, the Holy See Judgment Team, and the Holy See Mage Group. Each group has ten official teams, each team has four people, a total of one hundred and twenty people."

"Are there so many people..."

Jiang Chen was very surprised. It would be interesting if these people could obey his orders 100%!

In order to test his power, he immediately ordered: "Send my order and ask everyone to gather in front!"
