The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Although the boss's movements were a bit clumsy, he was very serious about every step and there were no pauses throughout the process.

Finally, he placed lemon slices on the two wine glasses.

Looking at his work, the boss was in a very good mood.

"Two martinis, please enjoy."

Nord looked at the enticingly colored wine and asked in surprise, "Is this the homework your teacher assigned you?"

"Homework? Pretty much. Through special techniques, different kinds of alcoholic beverages can be mixed together, bringing out the advantages of each beverage and giving people a novel experience."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper chuckled and shook his head: "To be honest, I feel like His Holiness the Pope really doesn't belong to this world. He brought so many things that I've never seen before. Even the nobles all look like country bumpkins. Haha, seeing that noble's astonished expression after drinking that kind of wine is something I'll never reach in my lifetime!"

Thor smacked his lips, savoring the thought for a moment before asking, "Boss, what are you all doing here in broad daylight instead of working in the fields? Are they all so rich that they can squander their money here?"

If they are nobles, even if they do nothing at home, money will keep flowing into their pockets, and their wealth can naturally support their spending here.

However, it would be completely illogical for an ordinary person who has nothing to keep consuming without working.

The boss chuckled. "You mean them? They're adjusting to the new environment. Didn't you see they haven't even ordered a drink?"

Nord looked at the crowd and noticed that although some were sitting and some were standing, their hands were empty and they had no drinks with them.

Thor: "Wait! Doesn't that man have a glass of wine in his hand?"

Following Thor's gaze, they indeed saw a person drinking from a wine glass.

Because the lighting was dim, the shop owner didn't recognize the person immediately.

Until a ray of light passed over that person's face, illuminating the lines on that person's face.

After seeing the answer, the owner told the two, "He is a merchant from out of town who has been staying here ever since he noticed the tavern. He wants to cooperate with you, sir, to promote this skill to other places."

Thor asked curiously, "So, he only wants to make money through cooperation and has no intention of joining the Holy Church?"

The boss nodded: "More or less. The adults hardly ever get involved in these kinds of things, so this person can only stay here and wait for an opportunity to see the adults."

He then whispered, "I feel like this guy is a drunkard. Saying he's cooperating is just an excuse for staying here. He just wants to come here to drink every day."

Thor finished his drink in one gulp and asked, "By the way, where is the teacher? We need to talk to him."

The boss pointed upstairs, "The master is up there right now. Although the first floor is finished, the style for the upper floors hasn't been decided yet. Besides holding initiation ceremonies for other believers, the master spends the rest of his time thinking about what style to use for the decoration."

Thor exclaimed in surprise, "This building seems to serve many purposes. Is a church for the Holy See going to be built on it?"

Nord corrected him, "Brother, churches aren't like that. And what kind of branch is located so close to headquarters?"

Thor: "That's true, but what is the purpose of these three layers?"

Boss: "You'd better ask His Majesty about this. You could discuss it with me for a hundred years and still not be able to understand His Majesty's thoughts."

"Can we go up now?"

Thor and Nord excitedly stood up and asked their boss for confirmation.

"The master instructed that if you come looking for us, you can go straight up. The stairs are over there; just go up."

Nord eagerly got up, intending to head towards the stairs, but then remembered the drink the boss had given him, so he turned around and asked, "How much, boss?"

"No need, consider this my treat, a benefit for the church members. But if you come again next time, you'll have to pay in full."

Nord urged Thor on, "Since the boss is so generous, we won't stand on ceremony. Let's go upstairs to find the teacher first, and we'll definitely try your cooking more often next time we have the chance."

The two crossed the stage and climbed the stairs.

As their field of vision gradually rose, they saw a completely different scene from the first floor.

The second floor is very bright; both the walls and the floor are predominantly bright white.

A solitary figure sat cross-legged in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Thor and Nord were instantly stunned by the sight before them, and remained speechless for a long time.

"You're here, what are you standing there for? Come and sit down."

Li Xuan did not turn around, remaining seated cross-legged.

Thor was the first to react. As he walked, he said, "Teacher, what are you doing? Why does this place feel so different from the first floor?"

Li Xuan looked out the window and said calmly, "The second floor hasn't been renovated yet. I'm thinking about what style to use for the renovation, and also considering the purpose of the second floor."

Thor and Nord sat down next to Li Xuan and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. There was nothing much outside, just the eaves of some ordinary houses and the distant mountains and forests.

"Let's not talk about that. You must have encountered some difficulties on this trip. Tell me about them."

Thor: "We've run into a fuel problem..."

……

After leaving the town, Pusi and Dinan soon came across a village that looked quite different from the others.

Dinan was taken aback by the vibrant village.

You have to understand that along their journey, even the most prosperous metropolises were stagnant and could have been reduced to ruins at any moment.

In Hundred Flowers Village, everyone seemed to live in joy, completely unaffected by the war.

Pusimo stroked his chin and commented, "I never imagined that there would be such a paradise within the kingdom's borders. If I could become a member of the village, my quality of life would definitely improve dramatically!"

Dinan's eyes were full of envy, but he didn't forget the important matter: "Alright, we can talk about the village later. As Li Xuan suggested, I need to find the person in charge here and become a follower of the Holy Church."

"In this way, I can possess extraordinary powers."

Pusi hesitated for a moment, "Dinan, actually, if you want to master supernatural powers, I also have a way, you just need to..."

Dinan didn't let Pusi continue. He shook his head. "Pussi, although I don't know what method you're talking about, I can sense that using your method will likely slow down your progress. It's not worth it for an ordinary person."

"No! Dinan, you misunderstand. My method does consume more resources, but you don't need to worry at all. With my talent, this amount of resources has little impact. Compared to gaining you extraordinary power, this is nothing!"

Despite Pusi's repeated insistence that this method would not affect his cultivation, Dinan was determined and gave Pusi no chance.
