"Of course not," said Sharet, amused and exasperated, "Atonement certificates are used to offset taxes."
The so-called atonement certificates had actually been popular within the Salvation Army long ago.
Back in the days of the Long Bloody Road, Horn used them to motivate soldiers with one hand holding a distant land title and the other an atonement certificate.
At that time, the Gulag Papal State had no money but had resources, so they used atonement certificates as temporary currency.
These land titles generally turned into pension subsidies and free housing, while atonement certificates were bought back by the Pope Country in cash.
Especially after they confiscated those monasteries and obtained a large amount of cash, a wave of repurchases made hundreds of old Gulag players suddenly wealthy overnight.
As prices rose, thousands of artisans who migrated from Joan of Arc Castle also benefited slightly from the war but not as dramatically as the old players.
