The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

The three of them were walking on the way back.

Thor felt very uncomfortable along the way.

When they were in the Duke of Paler's territory before, they saw that the people were living a normal life and were not surprised.

But after staying there for a while, they finally remembered how difficult life was for ordinary people outside when they left the territory.

The aftermath of the war in the Golden Rooster Kingdom has not dissipated, and most people in this kingdom are still living in dire straits.

The villagers of Baihua Village, or the people of the Duke of Paler's territory, are all lucky and extremely rare.

In the chaotic environment of the Kingdom of Golden Rooster, it is extremely rare to be able to live a stable life.

Even for ordinary people, the more chaotic the environment is, the less secure their lives are. Now even some small nobles are living in uncertainty.

What they saw and heard was a microcosm of an era.

Finally, Thor couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what happened to this country?"

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said calmly, "This country, even the world, is sick. What we see is just the tip of the iceberg. As long as the fighting between churches continues, people's situation will become worse and worse, and eventually they will completely lose the ground for survival."

Thor asked: "Can our Holy Church put an end to this fucked-up era?"

Li Xuan said firmly, "It will definitely happen. With strong faith as our support, the Holy Church will definitely stand out among all the churches and ultimately return peace to the people."

Although Thor wanted to believe in this beautiful future, the Holy Church was, after all, just a small church that had just been established. How could it compete with those churches that had been entrenched for hundreds of years?

His expression also revealed what he was thinking.

Li Xuan noticed Thor's condition and comforted him, "Don't worry, nothing is difficult for those who set their minds to it. The world is made up of surprises, and it's not impossible for the Holy Church to achieve the final victory."

"Don't worry, we won't encounter other churches for the time being. At this stage, the Holy Church needs to maintain a low profile and secretly accumulate strength in order to gain the means to fight against other churches."

Thor smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, are you trying to comfort me?"

"No, I'm just stating a fact. We returned this time because your village chief summoned us. It seems she has a mission for us."

Nord asked curiously, "Isn't our mission to go out and preach?"

Li Xuan shook his head and denied it, "Preaching was just a side job. It can be said that it was just my personal behavior. It seems that I am going back this time to organize the Holy Church's army."

Thor asked, "An army? Are we going to join the battle too?"

Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Probably not for the time being. Right now, all parties are in a truce, but in reality, as soon as the distribution of interests is completed, the war will break out again."

"Organizing an army is only to give us a way to protect ourselves in this chaotic world."

"Actually, I don't like war either, because war means sacrifice. Everyone is an independent being with their own thoughts. Death means that person's thoughts dissipate and disappear completely from this world."

"And the so-called being remembered only makes those who are still alive continue to suffer."

"If possible, I hope the world can remain at peace and avoid conflicts like war."

Thor sighed, "I really envy the country where the teacher lives. The people there must be very happy and don't have to worry about how to survive every day."

Li Xuan comforted them, "You don't have to be envious. If you feel that the environment you live in is not good, then go and build it. Do as much as you can."

"The country I live in has experienced both highs and lows. It was ultimately able to reach this point thanks to the hard work of countless martyrs and countless people."

"To get to this point, our predecessors took wrong paths and encountered dead ends. But they never lacked the determination to try again, nor did they fear the difficulties along the way. Ultimately, they built our country to the level you envy."

Thor exclaimed: "Teacher's country is really amazing!"

Li Xuan continued, "You don't have to worship them too much. Human nature is changeable, and everyone has their own selfish desires. This is inevitable. Therefore, when a country develops, many of the problems it encounters are caused by its own people."

Thor wondered, "Why would these people do this? Don't they have any sense of responsibility?"

Li Xuan: "So, human nature is hard to fathom. There are many selfish people like this in the Golden Rooster Kingdom right now, which makes it difficult for those who truly want to build the country to play their part."

"Our Holy Religion's army isn't fighting for power, but for the stability of the entire world. Ultimately, our Holy Religion's teachings will reach the hearts of every ordinary person in the world, ultimately ushering in an era of complete peace for this continent!"

Thor immediately clenched his fist and said excitedly, "I understand, Master! I will definitely become someone who helps build the nation! The Golden Rooster Kingdom is already corrupt, and we need to establish a new nation!"

Nord suggested, "How about letting the teacher's country take over? That way, we can also be considered citizens of the teacher's country. It would be a step up!"

Li Xuan: …

Nord's thinking really scared him. He didn't expect that there was such a thing.

Li Xuan coughed lightly and explained, "This is true. I am just an ordinary citizen in our country and have no right to interfere in state affairs."

"Don't assume that citizens of our country have great rights. When people gather together, they form a society. The functioning of society requires a corresponding division of labor and cooperation. Everyone's division of labor in society is different, but their status is actually the same."

"For example, even though I'm just an ordinary citizen and don't hold any official position in the country, I don't need to kneel down or kowtow when I see higher-ups. I can even say hello without any problem."

Thor and Nord seemed to understand and couldn't help nodding.

As citizens of the Kingdom of Golden Rooster, if they encounter the king in disguise, they need to bow their heads and kneel on the ground to greet him. If they dare to ignore him, they will definitely be punished by the accompanying guards. In more serious cases, they may even lose their lives.

In their minds, nobles and kings are supreme beings. Even if they are oppressed, as long as they can survive, it will be fine. Even if they really cannot survive, they will only take action against the nobles who oppress them.

In the past, there were cases where peasants revolted and fought their way to the castle of the kingdom, and in the next second they overthrew the throne and became king themselves.

But that leader actually asked the king to punish the nobles who had oppressed them, and after receiving a promise, he directly made the outrageous move of withdrawing his troops!
