When Krasburg was carrying out the "sanctification ceremony", the goddess of fate sent one of her sages, the "Iron Princess" Shenwei, to assist Roland.

Shenwei is also a true god herself, but she is unable to exert the power of a true god in the human world, and can only provide limited help to Roland, unable to ensure the successful completion of the sanctification ceremony. However, at the scene of the ceremony, Roland received the support of Sindra believers from all over the Far East, and the prayers of millions of believers provided him with a strong spiritual motivation, not only successfully completed the sanctification ceremony, but also deeply moved the goddess of fate because of the miracle of millions of believers gathered in Colasbourg, and blessed the Crosbourg Cathedral with an additional blessing, so that all believers who came to the pilgrimage had the opportunity to receive the Pastor Sindra's lineage.

In the world of Vares, the vast majority of transcendent inheritances can only be obtained under the long-term guidance of senior seniors, that is, the master-apprentice inheritance model. Of course, the efficiency of this teaching model is not high, the talent of the student and the patient guidance of the tutor are indispensable, without the guidance of a good teacher, even if the talent is bursting, it is difficult to become an extraordinary professional.

Pastor Sindra's lineage originally followed this model of mentoring and apprenticeship, and now the Great Temple of Krasbourg has become a sacred place for the goddess of fate in the world, and people can try to directly obtain the priest's inheritance through "divine inspiration" as long as they receive short-term training, which is of course much more efficient than master-apprenticeship, making batch training of priests a possible option, and this is also the source of Pastor Boris's eagerness to ask Roland for training funds.

Of course, not everyone can feel that subtle revelation in the church, and the keener the trainee's "perception" and the more devout the faith, the more likely they are to receive the divine grace from the goddess of fate and be promoted to the level 1 Syndra priest.

The benefits that the "Holy Land" can provide are limited to helping believers to enter the threshold of transcendent inheritance more easily, and there is no shortcut to the road to promotion in the future, or to follow the traditional way, relying on their own practice of knowledge and action to improve the priest level.

Is a level 1 priest weak? That's what you have to compare it to.

Those who participate in the priest training have a certain level of cultural foundation, more than enough to serve as a teacher in a rural primary school, and the theological knowledge obtained during the training is enough to serve the people's weddings and funerals, not to mention that the level 1 priest can also perform 0 and 1 ring magic, and can also use supernatural abilities to perform sacraments for the dying and guide the souls of the deceased to the kingdom of Sindra. In the eyes of ordinary people, a level 1 priest is a very capable person, just like a talented person in a small mountain village in the poor countryside on the earth, and the villagers have to look up to this person, even if this person is young, he has a high prestige in the village.

A key part of the pastoral trial is to feel divine revelation, which requires a person's gift for perception. Everyone can be religious, yet not all of them have the perceptual talent to listen to revelation. Boris has made statistics, assuming that there are 100 participants in the training, and the average number of people who can successfully pass the perception test is only three to five, and the elimination rate is quite high. However, the threshold for training is not high, and those who can write and do arithmetic can participate, and considering that the Far East has a population base of 5 million, it is very possible to train 35,000 full-fledged priests within ten years.

The Temple of Sindra provides a shortcut to the promotion of priesthood, but there is also a lot of debate about who should bear the resulting training costs.

"There are those who think that tuition fees should be charged to the trainees to make up for the cost of room and board during the training, and there are even more radical proposals to make the training courses a kind of educational industry, and to raise the tuition fees to earn high profits for the church, I do not deny that these proposals have some truth, but it should also be noted that the fees will inevitably raise the threshold for the training courses, and those who are talented but from poor families are likely to have to give up their dreams of becoming priests because they cannot afford to pay the training fees, and I cannot feel at ease when I think about this." Boris's serious face flashed a trace of compassion, and he said in a low tone, "What's more, our country has just been founded, and the Sindra Church has just changed from an underground organization to a state religion, and there is an urgent need to train more pastors to contribute to national construction and the spread of doctrines. ”

Roland nodded slightly, and the concerns raised by Pastor Boris were indeed sobering. If the poor are kept out of the temple by the tuition threshold, sooner or later the Sindra church will become a club of the rich, and once the class solidification is formed, the church will no longer be a state religion for the whole people, but will inevitably degenerate into a tool for the rich to rule over the poor.

Boris noticed the change in Roland's expression, and continued: "Your Highness, I fully agree with the rural governance plan you proposed at the cabinet meeting, but we also have to consider a practical dilemma, the total number of large and small villages in the Far East is probably tens of thousands, if you want to equip all villages with at least one Sindra priest, then tens of thousands of pastors are enough, and the total number of registered official pastors in the church is less than 500, how can such a large personnel gap be filled?" Taking a step back, even if we train enough pastors, we still have to consider the pastor's personal background and life experience, right? If most pastors were the children of wealthy families, who had been living in the city since birth, they were sent to remote mountainous areas to serve as resident pastors, would they be able to endure the hardships of self-reliance? Even if faith can encourage them to persevere, these young people who have never been to the countryside and can't even distinguish between millet and barnyard grass may find it difficult to establish a common language with their fellow countrymen, let alone be like a family, in contrast, those children who come from poor families in the countryside are more down-to-earth, better understand the thoughts and thoughts of their fellow villagers and neighbors, and are more able to integrate into the rural community and take root in the countryside with a solid heart. ”

Pastor Boris's words really touched Roland's heart, and his face became extremely solemn: "You are right, Sindra Church must not become a club of the rich, and the training of pastors should not set a threshold in the form of fees, and those students who are really in financial difficulties can be appropriately provided with room and board subsidies. ”

Pastor Boris's daunting black face rarely smiled, "I have calculated that ten training courses will be held every year, each session will be calculated according to 1,000 people, and the cost of teaching materials, teaching fees, and room and board subsidies for poor students will be provided by the government treasury with at least two million gold talers per year for the church's education. ”
