The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

"Reward? Teacher, what you mean is..."

Li Xuan affirmed: "Based on my observation, it seems that there is some trouble in the territory."

Then, Li Xuan sighed, "The church's sanctions are not simple. Even if their strongest army didn't take action, Duke Paler would have used all his strength to deal with it."

In the Kingdom of Golden Rooster, divine power is superior to royal power.

Even though Gerd was a duke, he dared to beat the cardinal, which would definitely lead to endless revenge.

Even most of the nobles in the Golden Rooster Kingdom would obey the orders of the War Church.

As long as the church reveals its intention to deal with Duke Paler, those nobles will definitely take targeted actions and even cut off ties with the Duke Paler's territory.

In this case, even if the territory is large enough, there will always be a lack of certain materials, which will hinder development.

Ultimately, one move affected the entire body, restricting the development of the entire territory.

As for the solution, it is also very simple.

That is to lure them with benefits.

In the absence of absolute strength, the goal of obtaining supplies can be achieved by using inducement and covert means.

In the face of absolute interests, the War Church can be completely thrown aside.

As for their wishes, who cares?

Could the threat from the church be more important than money?

What's more, gold bars are still hard currency today. Even if the Golden Rooster Kingdom is gone, wealthy nobles can hide their identities and find other ways out with their huge assets.

It is not certain whether the War Church will still exist by then.

Thor seemed to be enlightened and instantly understood why Li Xuan did this.

He said excitedly, "I understand! Teacher, you're playing hard to get. You're using an ambiguous attitude to attract Duke Paler. Once he becomes interested in the Holy Church, he'll continue to delve deeper and eventually become deeply involved!"

While Li Xuan was amazed, he also began to feel fortunate to have Thor with him.

Without his weird imagination, many things might not be so easy to handle.

Li Xuan said seriously, "Almost. Anyway, this matter cannot be accomplished overnight. If we want to completely win over Jerde's heart, we must work slowly and steadily."

Nord asked, "Will the teacher go tomorrow?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "The friendship of helping someone in need is deeper than adding icing on the cake. The Duke of Paler's Mansion right now is like a traveler who just got lost in the snow."

"Although there's no immediate danger, over time your body's temperature will slowly drop until you're completely enveloped in the cold and lose the ability to move."

"Giving him some money in the name of friendship is like giving timely help. Even if he doesn't seem to care, he will definitely remember our efforts from time to time afterwards. And since we represent the Holy Church, it will naturally make him feel good about it."

Li Xuan concluded: "In short, whether to go tomorrow depends on the specific situation."

Thor asked, "Could it be that something will happen tonight?"

Li Xuan was puzzled. "What could possibly happen tonight? He said it depends on the situation because he wasn't sure if he'd be willing to go out tomorrow. If the weather was bad, why would he go looking for Jerde? Isn't that asking for trouble?"

He touched his cheek and said in a deep voice, "You will understand when the time comes..."

Time passed quickly, the sun set in the west, and soon night covered the entire sky.

Thor checked the time and wondered, "It's already so late, Duke Paler probably won't send anyone over, right?"

Nord, who was standing next to him, asked back, "When did the teacher say that someone would come to the Duke's Mansion tonight?"

Thor blurted out: "Of course..."

But halfway through his words, Thor discovered that Li Xuan really didn't seem to say what would happen tonight, and everything was just his own guess.

Li Xuan didn't even respond directly to his guess.

Tol suddenly felt lost and said, "Am I really that stupid?"

Just when Thor was feeling lost, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky.

Golden light rain fell like a waterfall, illuminating the entire sky.

Thor and Nord stuck their heads out at the same time and looked at the magnificent scenery in amazement.

Li Xuan didn't know when he came behind the two of them. His expression was calm, as if he had expected it.

Thor said respectfully, "Teacher, is this the big thing you're talking about?"

Li Xuan put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "The establishment of the Holy Church has been recognized by the will of this world. From now on, the Holy Church is a legal church in this world!"

Thor and Nord's faces suddenly showed surprise. This meant that Baihua Village, as the base of the church, could even develop into a holy place in the future and become a pilgrimage site for countless believers.

The status of the villagers in Baihua Village will also rise, and perhaps in the future they will have a status far exceeding that of the nobles.

Li Xuan reminded: "Okay, go back to sleep. We still have things to do tomorrow."

Thor asked excitedly: "Are we going to the Duke's Mansion to tell Duke Paler about this?"

Li Xuan smiled slightly: "Some things don't need to be said in person. Hearing it from other people's mouths will have more deterrent power and influence."

"Tonight, many people can't sleep..."

The windows of the room where Li Xuan and the other two were staying were closed, but many people around them opened the windows to check what was going on after hearing the chaotic noise.

When they saw the night sky as bright as day, they all showed pious expressions.

This kind of miracle is something they rarely see in a hundred years, and it is a blessing to encounter it once in their lifetime.

In the palace of the Golden Rooster Kingdom, the king dressed in brocade clothes was having a leisurely time with his concubine. Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the sky and frightened him so much that he trembled.

From below came the concubine's complaining voice: "Oh, my king, why are you so fast?"

The king paid no attention to his concubine's anger, immediately put on his clothes and hid under the bed.

At this time, it is very likely an assassin's sneak attack.

But he made no sound, but observed the situation quietly.

After confirming that there was no sound of fighting, he slowly stood up and told his concubine, "You, go see what's going on outside!"

Faced with the king's order, the concubine had no choice but to wrap herself in the bed sheet and walk towards the window.

Then she was shocked by the golden sky.

The king urged, "What's going on?"

The concubine murmured, "A miracle, it's a miracle!"

The king frowned and said, "What miracle? The power of the gods cannot possibly descend upon this world. What exactly is it? Describe it in more detail!"

The concubine looked at the light in the sky, and suddenly a feeling of loss emerged in her heart, as if her life was not perfect and there were many regrets.

All these regrets burst out at this moment.

But she still retained some of her sanity and returned to the king's question: "It was a curtain of golden light, and then nothing."
