St. Attila is a saint canonized by the Golden Oak Church.

A 'saint' is only a person who is 'steadfast' in his faith, who has 'meritorious' to the Church, and who is 'immaculate' in morality...... These are all conditions on the surface.

Secretly, you also have to have a strong background force, a bunch of loyal fans within the church, and you can't have too bad a relationship with the upper echelons of the church...... When you meet the conditions on the surface, and most of the unspoken rules are met, you have a very small chance of being canonized as a 'saint'.

And the 'saints' are much cheaper.

'Saints' can only be canonized with the seals of the Pope of the Golden Oak Church and the Pope of the Silver Laurel Church, and the 'saints' are basically internal candidates of the Church, and in the history of Metland, almost no 'outsiders' have been canonized as 'saints'.

And the 'saints', the archbishops of several large dioceses on the mainland of Metland, have the right to canonize a certain number of 'saints'.

If you are a strong believer in faith, and you have firmly fulfilled the rules and precepts of the Golden Oak Church and the Silver Laurel Church, and contributed to the spread of the faith of the two high gods, then you have the opportunity to be canonized as a 'saint'.

Of course, ordinary believers, even if you really have an extremely strong faith, you are fulfilling all the rules and precepts of the Church in your daily life, and you have unswervingly contributed to the spread of the faith of the two gods...... If you are just an ordinary person, it is very difficult for you to have a chance to be canonized as a 'saint'.

There are also a lot of unspoken rules.

For example, you should have a great consecration of the cathedral of the Grand Diocese, for example, you should have a good personal relationship with the Archbishop of the Grand Diocese, for example, you should have power and influence in the Grand Diocese......

When all the above unspoken rules are satisfied, and the diocese archbishop of a large diocese is transferred out of this large diocese to serve in the headquarters of the Church of Daba, or to serve in other large dioceses with a larger territory and more abundant oil, there is a certain probability that a certain number of 'saints' will be canonized!

For example, the Grand Priest Xia, who has served as the Archbishop of the Diocese of the Delun Empire of the Silver Gui Church for decades, has not canonized a single 'saint' so far.

However, if she is promoted to the headquarters of the Yingui Church's Dabashan Church, then she will definitely canonize about ten to twenty 'saints' in the early stage of her departure.

Of course, these 'saints' will be grateful to the Great Priest Xia, and they will naturally offer a large amount of rich 'incense money' to make the Great Priest Xia's two sleeves of gold rise to the top of the bowl. In the next few years, during the New Year's holidays, these 'saints' canonized by the great priest Xia will naturally have a heart to send to Dabao.

That's the unspoken rule.

The unspoken rules recognized by the Church and the 'saints'.

The reason why the great priest Xia will not canonize the 'saints' during his term of office is that the 'saints' involve too many interests, and there are invisible risks.

For example, the 'Saints' can purchase a certain amount of Divine Elixir from the Basilica of St. Maya at cost price.

Like Joe once took, Muterste's Tears of Compassion, a powerful healing potion, had a market price of 300,000 gold marks in Hyderabad......

And this kind of potion is actually generated by the fusion of the divine power that naturally leaks when the nuns pray, cultivate, and hold religious ceremonies every day...... If you want to talk about the cost, that is, the cost of those basic potions, you can't say that the cost is zero, but the total cost is about ten gold marks.

The cost is ten gold marks, and the market price is 300,000, which is a huge profit, which can be called sensational.

Every year, each major diocese sends 'incense money' to Dabao, which is related to the evaluation results of each archbishop of the parish in Daba, their future promotion rewards and punishments, their future prospects within the church, and their impression in the heart of the archpope.

Unless the Great Priest Xia has a broken braincase, she will canonize a number of 'saints' during her tenure, and let these guys purchase a large amount of various divine power potions at cost price and open them in her money bag.

Moreover, as mentioned earlier, those who are canonized as 'saints' basically cannot be ordinary people.

Those who can meet the criteria for canonization as 'saints' are basically high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen.

This group of people is full of problems.

In the event that during his term of office, he canonized a number of 'saints', and three or five of these fellows were unsuccessful, and were lured into becoming 'heretics' by the believers of those evil gods...... Hehe, that's a lot of fun.

On the contrary, it is a multi-tasking thing to canonize 'saints' when he leaves his job.

On the one hand, to proclaim to the headquarters of the church in Daba, how well I govern the great diocese, and how devout the faithful are, you see, during my reign, so many people have met the standard of 'saints'...... This is the so-called work of edification!

Second, when I left my job, the incense money offered by the 'saints', as well as the annual filial piety in the future, was enough to ensure that after I left my job, I would still have enough food and clothing, and I would not be like the unlucky people in the ascetic convent, drinking water and nibbling on black bread every day.

Thirdly, he has left his job, the 'saints' have been canonized, and all the risks and losses have been left to the successor archbishop. The losses caused by those divine power potions purchased at cost price will of course be borne by the successor archbishop. And if something goes wrong with these 'saints', they really degenerate into 'heretics'......

Hehe, when I was here, people became 'saints', and when I left, they became 'heretics'...... It can be seen that the successor is ineffective, and her ability is problematic.

If the relationship with the successor is good, and everyone is of the same faction, then the number of canonized 'saints' will be a little smaller, and the canonized 'saints' will be a little older, so that these 'saints' will not live for too many years and will not cause too much trouble to the successor...... When these 'saints' are 'glorified in the bosom of our Lord,' and the title of 'saint' is no longer hereditary, all troubles will be gone."

If the relationship with the successor is bad, or even if the factions on both sides are hostile...... Hehe.

In the history of the Golden Oak Church and the Silver Laurel Church, there have been departing archbishops of the parish who directly canonized more than 300 'saints', and all of them were young and strong young men, one of whom was only a teenager when he was canonized, and that 'saint' lived to be more than 110 years old......

Moreover, these 'saints' are basically from aristocratic backgrounds, and in their long lives, more than a dozen 'saints' unfortunately participated in some evil god sacrifices and degenerated into 'heretics'.

Because of these dozen or so degenerate 'saints', the three archbishops of the parish before and after stepped down, 'willingly' entered the ascetic and pious 'confession', and never recovered.

These are just the most basic benefits that the Saints have.

In addition to purchasing divine power potions at cost price, having the title of 'saint' also means that he has received the most direct protection from the church.

A person with the title of 'saint' can apply to the Church for help when he is in trouble...... Just a dozen years ago, a 'saint' nobleman in the United Kingdom of Nice was arrested on charges of 'treason', and this 'saint' directly prayed for the rescue of the Golden Oak Church, and an elite Church Order raided the national prison of the United Kingdom of Nice and robbed him and his people out of the country.

Afterwards, the Golden Oak Church came forward and demanded all the assets of the 'saint' back.

In the following years, even several justices of the United Kingdom of Nice, who were responsible for handling this case, died inexplicably due to various accidents, and even their direct heirs died.

Possessing the title of 'Saint', on the continent of Medland, is equivalent to a talisman of the highest standard. Whether it is an official or a businessman, unless there is a blood feud, basically no one is willing or dares to provoke.

Joe had just turned eighteen.

With the strength he has now, and with the strength he can expect to grow in the future, it is conceivable that he will be able to live much better than the 'saint' in history who lived for more than 110 years.

Didn't you see that Margaret III lived to be more than 90 years old, and still looked like a big girl in her early twenties?

As long as Joe is alive, as long as he doesn't get entangled with those evil god believers, no matter how outrageous things he does, the Yingui Church will obediently wipe his ass.

'Saints'...... This is the church's sign to the general public.

The church will never be able to smash its own signs.

With the Silver Cinnamon Church behind him, Joe is in Hydrderabad, as long as he doesn't die to provoke Margrethe III himself, and the other handful of people who can't be provoked, even the church will feel a headache, he can really walk sideways, crawling, and upside down in Hydrderabad...... Toss all kinds of tricks with him.

Not to mention, the most tangible benefits that Joe has directly obtained right now.

With a smile on his face, the Grand Priest Xiaqiang, together with several of his strongest nuns, under the urging of Margaret III, opened the secret treasury of St. Maya's Cathedral and took out a spare saint's badge.

The Great Priest Xia pierced his heart, forced out a little of his own blood, and used secret techniques to integrate this drop of blood into the beautifully shaped saint emblem.

Several great nuns joined forces, exhausted their strength to feed, squeezed out the last bit of divine power in their bodies, and blessed a little bit in this saint badge made of 'divine silver', which is shaped like nine osmanthus leaves holding up an osmanthus wreath.

The emblem of saints, the size of a baby's palm, immediately rippled out in circles of gorgeous, warm, and clear moonlight.

The Great Priest Kasumi also recited the mantra and blessed the last magic for this badge.

She looked at Joe with a 'smile' and extremely 'kind', and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Margaret III, who was standing on the side to supervise, and said with a dry smile: "Joe, my child, come, accept the glory you deserve...... I will send your information to Dabao for the record as soon as possible...... Your certificate of sainthood will be issued to you in no time! ”

Joe smiled and stood in front of the Grand Priest Kasumi with his head held high, allowing her to hang the Saint Badge on his left chest, above all the Imperial Medals.
