Children from the Glass Island Mission School will be organized by the school to take an annual trip here.
After all, there is really nothing to do on the Glass Island - it is a place where every inch of land is precious. The place with the best scenery is probably the island in the lake where the Palace of Silver and Tin is located.
But it is necessary to show these children the natural scenery outside and let them know that Avalon is not filled with smoke-belching, rumbling factories, and trains that roar on the tracks.
This will also be helpful for children's future employment.
The pastoral resources within the Glass Island are already saturated. Not to mention the priests and deacons who have just graduated, even the bishops have a lot of them. There are a total of nine churches on the Glass Island, and each church has more than one
A bishop of the fourth level or above is the guardian.
But in many places outside, even a large city, there is only one bishop. Most small towns do not even have a bishop, and even only one priest.
There is nothing the church can do if it needs to coax and deceive people like this. After all, the Nine Pillar God Church still has a lot of work to do.
The entire town has to send people to birth ceremonies, weddings, and funerals. This alone is already extremely busy...especially funerals. A real priest of the transcendent level must be present during the burial to prevent the deceased from turning into an undead.
.
They also have to lead believers to pray together every day, maintain the nine-pillar statue once a week, listen to confessions and undergo psychological therapy, take care of orphans, make holy water, farm in the fields behind the church, and sanctify ritual instruments...
Just a few extraordinary people will definitely be too busy, and this will definitely require the assistance of a large number of ordinary people.
On the contrary, the extraordinary work of treating patients who cannot be cured by doctors, expelling undead souls and cursing, only accounts for a very small part of the day's work. It is even less than once in many days.
There are less than a hundred priests a year who graduate from the seminary of King's Law University and receive religious titles directly... This is definitely not enough. So there are church schools - not universities, but a church.
kind of middle school.
After graduating from primary school, you can enter a missionary school, and then you will basically reach adulthood after attending a missionary school for six years.
Then you can go to the church as an intern and learn how to become a qualified pastor from the grassroots level.
Those graduates of Wangli Law University have at least the second level after graduation, and some can reach the third level before graduation. They basically intern and train in the church on the Glass Island, and wait for further studies to become priests and bishops.
After reaching the level, he was directly parachuted into various regional churches to serve as administrators or bishop candidates.
After their extraordinary level is further improved, they may even have the opportunity to be transferred back to the Theocracy to receive further promotion above the bishop. This can be regarded as a kind of professional group, and their life plans are basically directed towards the bishop - if they reach forty
If you don't become a bishop at the age of 10, you will be laughed at by your classmates.
And these students who come out of church schools are the majority of the clergy in the church.
Most of them cannot even become extraordinary until they are thirty years old. They can barely master a certain extraordinary skill, which is the limit.
After they reach adulthood, they will be sent to various remote towns according to the needs of the church.
And when they have just graduated, they are just adults. Suddenly leaving their parents and being sent to a backward rural place alone, it is easy for people to lose their mental balance.
——After all, if they cannot become extraordinary, it means that their talent for the path of dedication is not strong. It means that they actually don't like the act of dedication... But that's not necessarily the case, maybe they don't have the foundation and opportunity for "dedication".
This kind of "suffering" experience is actually to forcibly stimulate their dedication.
If they understand what dedication is while helping people in poor areas, they will have a chance to become official extraordinary beings.
——But then we have to let them really go.
Therefore, in order to reduce students' resistance, church schools will regularly arrange holiday trips specifically designed to deceive children.
Take your children on vacations and travel to resorts with the best natural scenery.
Let them feel the beauty of nature, let them realize that "leaving the glass island is not necessarily a bad thing", and even let them look forward to going to work in the countryside after graduation. In order to avoid triggering widespread resistance after graduation, directly
Don't even come.
When they really graduated and found out that the goods were not right, they could no longer regret it - why was it so ordinary here despite being in the countryside?
But since we’ve come here anyway, why not be a pastor for half a year? Maybe you can become a real pastor after being a pastor for half a year.
Even if you leave your job after half a year, a new intern pastor will be transferred in another half year.
——How pitiful. Vivian thought.
At this moment, this little girl with silver hair and silver eyes, wearing a dark blue nun dress, happened to be smiling and playing around with her classmates.
Maybe it's because she has elf ears, or maybe it's just because she has a pretty and cute appearance. A lot of people naturally gather around her, and she becomes the focus of everyone's attention wherever she goes.
"Then, I'm going to go shopping alone!"
Vivian put one hand behind her back and waved the other hand in front of her body. She bent down slightly and smiled sweetly: "I'll be back in a minute!"
"Be safe, Vivian!"
"We'll wait for you right here!"
Her classmates also responded enthusiastically.
Vivian hummed happily and jumped up and down as she walked.
But before she had gone far, her steps slowly slowed down. The innocent and cute little girl became calm and elegant, and the carefree and cute smile on her face gradually converged and became calm.
When she turned a corner, she saw a man with long, wet hair that was as curly as seaweed standing there silently.
He was thin and tall, and had a gloomy and dangerous aura about him.
——He is the kind of person who will be considered a poet if he holds a pen, a painter if he holds a paintbrush, and a street singer if he sings, but if he stands there doing nothing, he will be considered a fugitive.
type.
But Vivian was not afraid at all.
She raised her head and looked at the man.
"What's up?"
She asked back: "I remember I gave you freedom."
"Owner."
Yeats bowed down respectfully, and his words could even be called humble: "I finally found you."
