Chapter 292: Pilgrims and the Next Wonder Plan

In the Northern Union, the nobility and the royal family are not particularly resistant to the beliefs of the Torch Church.

Perhaps the nobles and the royal family are no longer willing to continue donating to the Torch Church.

However, local branches of the Torch Church and the spread of the Torch Church’s beliefs are still acceptable.

Another thing worth mentioning is.

The Frost Moon Kingdom and the White Kingdom are still maintaining their donations to the Torch Church.

The donation was held in safekeeping by Bishop Cahn.

Today, the Torch Church has become rich again.

Considering the size of the Torch Church in the past, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.

But now the Torch Church has been divided into three parts, and the consumption of the original faction of the Torch Church is very small.

Most of the Torch Church beginners hold positions around the world and they themselves receive local donations.

It only costs a little money to transmit messages or allocate materials between the beginners.

There is no other expenditure. These beginners will earn money to pay their own salaries.

Rand actually wanted to have in-depth cooperation with the Torch Church.

Thanks to the efforts of Seth, Rand's strategy, and the mixed version of doctrine tampered by the great heretic Taner.

The faith of Rand's Cult of the Goddess of Plenty spread fairly smoothly in the Frost Moon Kingdom.

The belief that was spread abroad was a mixture of the doctrines of both sides, and Rand felt that there was a good basis for cooperation between the two sides.

Now, many pilgrims have appeared in the holiday villa.

In the past, ordinary villagers were not qualified to be pilgrims.

They simply could not store food for the long journey.

Now, thanks to Rand's road repairs, promotion of Centaur transportation, and encouragement of farming and trade, the villagers have accumulated wealth and the cost of long-distance travel has been reduced, leading to the current situation.

Many people with simple clothes and rough skin came to the prosperous town of the holiday resort.

"Here, is this the holy city?" As soon as the pilgrims arrived here, they were overwhelmed by the prosperity and bustle here.

They were received by the Propaganda Department, which was headed by Karin's old boss, the Propaganda Officer.

This short propagandist will arrange accommodation and water for the pilgrims, and lead them to the church school at the holiday resort and the chapel of the Torch Church.

The holiday villa and the hideout are the only two places that have a religious atmosphere.

Church schools will arrange teachers to tell these pilgrims about the glorious deeds of the great sect leader, the Rand Messenger.

Then we answer some of their doctrinal confusions so that practical doctrines can truly help the lives of these believers.

Bishops Karin and Kahn were also here to listen.

Just as Rand wanted to work with the Torch Church, they also wanted to work with the Fertility Goddess Sect.

Therefore, I took this opportunity to learn more about the teachings of the Goddess of Fertility.

They knew very well that the vast majority of the villagers were uneducated and quite ignorant, or simply stupid and stubborn.

In their view, these three doctrines are practical common sense in life.

But for these illiterate villagers, they can only follow the missionaries' words to practice the teachings.

It was the power of God that transformed their lives.

They will not understand the science behind these teachings.

For example, water must be boiled before it can be drunk.

In their eyes, it is a religious ceremony.

They don't know that boiling water kills parasites and bacteria.

They just think that holding religious ceremonies can reduce the occurrence of diseases.

As for those who do not follow the teachings and become sick, this is a punishment for angering the great goddess of fertility.

And just like that, faith was born.

As the power of the great goddess of fertility really began to change their lives, they became more and more devout in their belief.

After all, in the past, they were not qualified to believe in the Torch Goddess.

But the power of the Goddess of Plenty does not discriminate against anyone, nor does it require their donations.

When the course was over, Bishop Kahn asked Bishop Seth, “How much does it cost to preach without accepting donations?”

Bishop Seth wiped his face, which was not actually sweating, with some embarrassment and said, "In fact, our missionary work can be profitable."

"?" Bishop Kahn didn't understand why it could still make a profit.

Karin, who had been pretending not to care, also pricked up her ears.

Bishop Seth quietly explained to them how they had become rich together with the grassroots villagers.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Control the most basic level of trade, conduct collective purchases and bulk transactions. As long as the sales volume is large enough, even a very small price difference can bring considerable profits.

Go deep into every aspect of life at the grassroots level and sell daily necessities.

Yes, although missionaries spread doctrines and taught farming and life knowledge for free, they even distributed eggs.

But once the villagers have a little money, the cheap and practical daily necessities produced by the holiday villa will also be in place.

It's a win-win situation.

The villagers' lives improved and the holiday villa made money.

However, this model is highly dependent on road traffic conditions, that is, transportation costs.

If the transportation costs can be further reduced, the Cult of the Goddess of Plenty, that is, Rand, will be able to make further profits.

After listening carefully, Karin and Bishop Kahn left the church school together.

Karin whispered, "If Rand was a member of our Torch Church, the Torch Church would definitely not be what it is now."

Bishop Kahn smiled kindly and said, "The White King must also want to capture him and make him a minister of state."

What Bishop Kahn didn't say was that if Rand had been a member of the Torch Church at the beginning, he would probably have been benched like Taner when he first proposed these strange theories.

Unless Rand can become the "king" in one fell swoop with the same natural talent as Karin, it will be possible to reform the Torch Church.

Karin actually knew this. Perhaps the now fragmented Torch Church was better than the original Torch Church with serious internal struggles.

The two came to the Torch Church chapel together.

Many pilgrims have come here to visit.

It is also necessary to visit the Torch Church's church, because due to the cooperation between Rand and the Torch Church, many of the strongholds of the Goddess of Abundance sect are located in the Torch Church's church.

It's like two sides of the same coin.

The front is the Torch Goddess, and the back is the Fertility Goddess.

One is in the light, the other in the dark.

Therefore, it is necessary to familiarize pilgrims with the style of the Torch Church church.

Especially when Rand plans to further cooperate with the Torch Church.

At this point, many pilgrims have questions.

During the pilgrimage, they saw the church building of the goddess of fertility and the statue of the goddess of torches.

But they did not know what Rand looked like, nor had they seen the statue of the goddess of fertility.

"Where can I see the image of Rand the Divine Envoy?" a devout pilgrim asked the head of the propaganda department nearby. "Also, is there a statue of the Great Mother Goddess?"
