The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Tomorrow, he will continue to explain: "If any church really wants to target us first, it can only do so by eliminating us with lightning speed before other churches can react. Otherwise, it will only push us towards other churches."

Li Xuan understood what Mingri meant: "In other words, after we form an alliance, this immunity from death will continue to apply to us."

"After the newbie protection period, other churches will still be hesitant to provoke a church that poses no threat."

"From this perspective, it seems that forming an alliance with the Church of Life is entirely beneficial!"

Hino nodded in agreement, "Indeed, from this perspective alone, it undoubtedly gives us a lot of time to develop. Even with their condition of allowing missionary work, we could very well develop the church to a point where we can protect ourselves before the final battle."

Tomorrow followed up, saying, "Now that you mention it, our alliance seems like a natural progression."

"Since neither of you has any objections, may we begin with more details..."

Li Xuan already knew the answer he wanted, so he had no interest in listening any further. He said impatiently, "You guys talk about the rest. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, he walked out of the conference room on his own without speaking to anyone present.

Watching Li Xuan disappear in a flash, Mingri turned to Xinuo and said with a forced smile, "Your Pope certainly has a very different personality."

Although Xinuo was inwardly annoyed by Li Xuan's self-centered behavior, she still needed to maintain the Holy Church's outward image in front of outsiders.

"Although he seems unreliable most of the time, he can be quite dependable in crucial moments. Of course, this kind of thing has nothing to do with our alliance. These kinds of trivial matters are handled by the person in charge. Even if you go to him, it will eventually come back to me."

Tomorrow nodded. "Alright, let's go over the details of the alliance then..."

……

"Oops~"

After Li Xuan walked out of the church in the center of the village, he stretched out a big yawn.

Just as he was about to go back to rest, he caught a glimpse of a figure near the village entrance out of the corner of his eye.

These people appear to be from other churches who were driven away by the bishop of the Church of Life.

This made Li Xuan suddenly very curious about how these people planned to leave.

From his perspective, to enter the village, one needs to go through a very hidden passage that most people would never find.

Moreover, Hundred Flowers Village was created by Xinuo, so it's definitely not some kind of secluded paradise that originally existed in this world.

It might just be a portable little world.

With this in mind, Li Xuan, filled with curiosity, headed towards the village entrance.

He followed behind those people until they came to a wide avenue.

Li Xuan scratched his head, wondering to himself, "Why does the road in front of me feel so unfamiliar? I remember this place should be shrouded in mist."

At this moment, Li Xuan was certain that the village's exit had changed.

While he was pondering this, the group of people had completely left Hundred Flowers Village.

Li Xuan leaned against a tree and did not follow any further.

After thinking it over, he had a pretty good idea of ​​the current situation.

"So that's why Xinuo sent them directly to Baihua Village for negotiations; it turns out he had this plan in mind all along!"

Li Xuan originally felt that letting people from other churches know the location of Baihua Village was irresponsible towards the lives of the villagers.

But now he realizes that he had been overthinking things.

Although Xinuo appears to be an idealist, he is relatively cautious in his actions and does not directly expose the Holy Church.

However, given the current conditions, unless the war spreads to Baihua Village, the scene at the village entrance will not change.

Hiding behind the tree, Li Xuan nodded slightly. After confirming that the people from the church and the kingdom had left, he also turned and left, returning to Thor and Nord's house.

During this period, he lived almost entirely in their home.

Yes, it's mainly to make it easier to provide them with timely guidance.

Moreover, the affairs of the Holy Church are basically handled by Xinuo. Although Li Xuan is the Pope, he is at most a symbol of status, almost like a mascot.

Therefore, Li Xuan has been spending most of his time sunbathing these days.

If it weren't for the need for him, the representative of the Holy Church, that is, the nominal Pope, to step in today, he might have been able to lie low until the end of the war.

Although lying down like this and occasionally giving feedback on the two brothers' progress is quite comfortable, one cannot lie flat forever.

So, he decided to prepare something big for the villagers.

The thought of benefiting the people made Li Xuan's lips curl into a smile, as if he had thought of something happy.

He acted immediately.

……

It's getting late.

Hino and the other two walked out of the conference room.

The atmosphere between them was very lighthearted, as if they had just had a good chat.

Hino said to the other two, "It's getting late, and the nearest town is still quite a distance away. Why don't you two rest in the village?"

Tomorrow, I looked up at the setting sun and, after a quick mental calculation, realized that if I set off now, I would indeed need to walk through the night.

So he readily agreed: "Indeed. Then I shall gladly accept your offer."

"Where do we live?"

Hino waved, and a villager quickly came over.

She pointed in a direction and said, "We happen to have some guest rooms here. The interiors aren't luxurious, but they won't make you feel shabby either."

"You two can stay in the guest rooms for the night and leave at dawn."

Tomorrow immediately agreed: "Alright, then we'll trouble you to lead the way."

The villager nodded and said, "Please follow me."

After arranging things for the people at the Church of Life, Xinuo was about to return to the church to deal with the pile of church affairs, but just as she turned around, a golden light caught her attention.

"what is that?"

Tomorrow, who hadn't gone far, was also drawn to the golden light in the distance.

Hino frowned, quickly realizing the problem and the source of the golden light.

The veins on her forehead bulged, and she couldn't wait to bring the culprit to justice.

Xinuo swept past at lightning speed, running straight toward the direction of the golden light.

Tomorrow reached out to ask what was going on: "Wait a minute, what's this...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Xinuo had already vanished in a flash, clearly not having heard him.

Out of curiosity, Mingri decided to follow Xinuo directly to find out what was going on.

When the villager leading the way saw that Mingri wanted to leave the group, he immediately reached out and stopped him, saying, "Wait! The guest rooms aren't over there..."

Tomorrow, without looking back or saying a word, he disappeared after Xinuo.
