The Holy Church is divided into three denominations.

The secular Church, the Order, the Inquisition.

The former has the most functions, so it has assumed more social responsibilities, playing roles such as 'neighborhood committees', 'neighborhood offices' and 'propaganda departments'.

The Holy Church of Rome had a large number of adherents, and it can be said that more than 80 percent of the people maintained their moral standards by religious beliefs.

Although religion has suppressed productivity and hindered social progress and class reform to a certain extent, it can also maintain social stability if used well.

Without the Church, a tentacle that penetrated into all levels of society, the influence of the Roman royal family would not have reached the lowest levels of society.

The Romans themselves did not find it a bad thing for the church to be in charge, on the contrary, they were quite courted by the church.

Even, a system called the support group has been developed, and a large number of individual pushers have been added.

Hundreds of years ago, the church discovered the power of 'love shakes'.

While the Lord can unite the faith of all, there is one drawback to monotheism...... Or rather, natural shortcomings.

Because human beings are not normal creatures, even if they say that the Lord is supreme, they still think that they are too far away from the Lord.

Gradually, they parted, and the church could not stop people from customizing their own idols, so the worship of historical celebrities and living celebrities became a social trend.

This has led to the formation of various groups, which inevitably tear each other apart.

Later, a certain cardinal archbishop of the Holy Church patted his head, since this group of people is so fond of pop and personality cults, then why don't we Church launch its own plan and get an officially formulated idol.

So, in order to calm the strife between believers, several young girls resolutely stepped forward and chose to become idols.

This is the large-scale adjustment of the position of the saint after the recent modernization.

Different saints were able to take on the propaganda responsibilities of their respective jurisdictions, and at the same time attracted the attention of believers, radiating influence across the country, and supporters spontaneously formed support groups, and began to develop the subculture of 'I push saints', and its prosperity soon reached the level of being out of the circle.

Every saint girl needs to go through a series of internal selections from the apprenticeship to the official appointment, although it is not a commercial operation, but the underlying logic is the same.

Without exception, the saints have outstanding personalities, sweet voices, and are in line with the public's aesthetics, often more distinctive than Princess Dinini.

The saints are not only the signboard of the church, but also the cash cow of the church.

It's hard to imagine that the Holy Church would send a choir out to give a solo concert to the Holy Maiden.

In fact, there are not only solo concerts, but also a variety of peripherals, including figures, records, autographs, biographies, endorsements and a series of commercial operations.

It's not just about making hemp, it's just making hemp.

Of course, the business operation model of the saint is also adjusted according to its own policy, and it will not be consistent, and if the idol is too homogeneous, it will cause a flood.

If you like to sing, go to a concert; Those who take the star route go to make movies...... There are also those who are born with mysterious blessings, such as Cortilia, who can find missing cultural relics for a casual walk, and basically dominates the hot news search all year round.

There is no doubt that the saint is Rome's traffic password and top star.

There is also competition between them.

And when there are two saints in the same jurisdiction at the same time, usually speaking, who is less popular and who is embarrassed.

The Cathedral of St. Louis in the flower capital, a private room on the top floor, is decorated with flowers, and the window overlooks most of the city.

On the seat covered with soft cushions, a young woman with long blue hair sighed: "Luo Jie, can you stop dangling, I am dizzy when I see it." ”

An obviously older nun looked back at the woman who was talking: "Why are you so lazy, can you be a little more nervous and dignified?" ”

"Why should I be nervous?" The blue-haired woman leaned back in her chair, picked up a grape and stuffed it into her mouth: "Isn't today's appointment over?" ”

"Tomorrow, tomorrow there will be a restitution ceremony at the Cathedral of Our Lady!" Sister Luo Jie's face was depressed: "She is about to be canonized as an honorary saint." ”

"yes, I've seen the news."

"Don't you have any ideas?"

"We are all children of the Lord, and I am so pleased that the relics are back in the church."

"That's not what I'm asking!" Sister Luo Jie said seriously: "I'm asking if you can still withstand the current pressure?" Tia. ”

Tia Louis, who has blue hair and is known as the 'Healing Spring', has been a saint for less than a year, and her qualifications are still young.

Originally, she was just a member of the apprentice saintess, and she was urgently promoted as a substitute after a year of review.

With Cordelia's high-profile return, her position as a substitute suddenly seemed awkward and even precarious.

As the abbot who single-handedly raised and nurtured Tia, Sister Luo Jie naturally felt nervous.

One saint in one Huadu jurisdiction is enough...... In fact, in the past six months, Tia has always been at a disadvantage compared to several other saints.

Once Tia can't bear the pressure, she will be pushed to the margins, and if she loses her status as a saint, she can only return to the monastery, which means losing her current life and status.

And once the position of the saint is seated, who is willing to let go?

Every saint would resign from her position when her term of office had expired.

Tia lay on the table with her cheeks on her elbows, and she whispered, "My abilities have been highlighted, and the Church will not hide me, even if I lose my position as a saint, I will not return to my previous life...... This is reassuring. ”

"Have you given up on competition?"

"No...... You're mistaken. Tia shook her head and said: "There is a saying in the East that 'one horse takes the lead, ten thousand horses have no light', and this time it is not only me who is in an awkward position, but also several other saints." ”

Luo Jie said: "You mean, they are also in the same situation? ”

"Yes, after all, His Royal Highness Cortilia is to be canonized as an honorary saint, how many saints in the past can receive such an honor at this age? I'm afraid she was the first person since the founding of Rome. Tia said softly, "At this time, if I want to compare myself with her, I can't do it at all, but that's why I ...... The gap between me and several other saints is not worth mentioning. ”

She shrugged her shoulders slightly: "Look at her achievements, and then look at our ...... It's not a level anymore, so I don't have much to stress about. ”

Sister Luo Jie sighed, "It's good that you can think so; The position of saint is usually not taken away, and I am even more worried that you will not be able to support yourself and choose to give up. ”

"No, it won't." "When I left the monastery and came to this big city, and when I saw it, I made up my mind that even if I die, I will be buried under the church here...... The monastery of the past was not even qualified to be my grave. ”

I have seen the bitter cold and Qing cultivation of the women's convent, and then look at the life today.

How will she let go, this is a status and position that she has obtained with great difficulty.

These words are not like the words that a saint should say, but they are the words of her heart, even if they are superficial, they are also superficial truth.

Sister Luo Jie nodded: "Let's take a good rest today, and prepare to meet tomorrow's major ceremony with full energy, this may also be your first meeting with the former saint, or meet on a major occasion, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"yes, I know." Tia bowed slightly.

Sister Luo Jie put down a bottle of potion: "This is a blood tonic made of dragon's blood grass, you drank too much in one breath last time, so I can only give you a bottle...... Your miracles cannot be abused, they must be strictly controlled, you see? ”

"Got it." Tia waved her hand a little perfunctorily.

The nun stroked her hair, turned and exited the room.

In the private room, the healing saint picked up the blood tonic medicine, lay on the bed, put the back of her hand against her forehead, and then raised her hand, looking at the fresh wound in the palm of her hand, she scraped the wound with her fingernails, and the pain made her squint her eyes and her shoulders twitch slightly.

Pain, she was used to it.

The sensation of pressing on the wound is more of a habitual stimulus.

It is the pain that comes from the wound that makes one feel alive.

She rolled over and sat up, unscrewed the cap of the blood tonic bottle, poured out a tenth, and then poured wine into the goblet, red and purple mixed together for a charming aroma.

She picked up the fruit knife and added an additional cut to the original wound, and after the cut, blood oozed out.

"Hiss......"

After taking a cool breath, three drops of blood in her palm fell into the cup, mixed with wine and potion, and for a while, the charming aroma of wine seemed to be several times more mellow.

Just take a breath and you'll get drunk.

She put down the fruit knife and was about to get the glass of wine, when she saw the glass disappear in place.

In the twilight of the setting sun, a figure sat on the windowsill, holding a goblet in his left hand and shaking it gently, putting it under his nose and sniffing it.

"Like 82 Lafite......"

At the same time as hearing the man's voice, Tia sat up from the bed, held the fruit knife, and at the same time picked up the sheet to wrap her body in a thin nightdress: "Who are you?" How dare you trespass into the cathedral and enter my bedroom! ”

"Don't be nervous, Your Highness the Holy Maiden......" The young man raised his wine glass to cover the sunset, revealing a handsome side face from the east: "I'm just here to say hello." ”

"Whoever you are, get out of here, or I'll call the guards in no time."

"Won't you shout when I leave?"

"It depends."

"You can shout." The young man raised his head from his glass and took a sip, exhaling a little wine: "But in this way, I can't guarantee that your little secret will not be leaked out." ”

Tia said with a cold expression: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"I didn't expect that Her Highness the Holy Maiden, who has the 'Healing Holy Spring', actually doesn't have the ability to heal others." Bai Yu said to himself.

He shook his glass and looked at the blue-haired woman through the glass, "If this matter gets out, it will be very bad, right?" ”

The lines are very villain and very professional.

Tia's fingers stiffened slightly, but she still acted as if nothing had happened: "If you want to spread these rumors, just do it." ”

"Whether it's a rumor or not, you know it from the bottom of your heart." Bai Yu stared straight at her: "Your ability is in this glass of wine, I have already tasted it." ”

"I ......"

"You can pretend to be crazy and stupid, but I don't have the patience to go around in circles with you." Bai Yu walked down from the windowsill, put down the wine glass, and walked to the Holy Maiden, her gaze condescending: "Your Highness the Holy Maiden, you don't want your secret to be known to everyone, right?" ”
