So I'm a sheep.

Wood opened his eyes in a daze, staring blankly at the little girl, seemingly still in a daze.

Seeing this, Sasha reached out and grabbed the arrow from the man's chest, pulling it out.

"Ouch!" Wood's face contorted in pain.

"My lord, I haven't settled the score with you yet, and now I've saved your life again."

The young girl stroked her chin and thought for a moment: "Well, you'll have to sell yourself to pay off your debts."

..................................................

Unlike the Church of the Stars, the relationship between Nister and the little girl has not yet reached the point of 'life or death'.

If both Duke Wood and Sasha Ken take a step back, they might as well try to join forces.

After Wood blocked an arrow for Aran, Sasha was already interested in cooperating.

However, the Grand Duke of Knights still hesitated.

“Just say what you’re thinking, Wood. I hate it when you beat around the bush.”

"Lady Sasha, let's have a frank talk."

After atoning for his sins, he received Arran's personal forgiveness, and at this time, Duke Wood looked quite well.

"First, I want to make one thing clear."

"Ok?"

"Since you can cooperate with us, Nister, will you cooperate with Moonlit Lan one day as well?"

"will not"

The little girl answered decisively: "As an angel, I will never cooperate with a king who wants to attack heaven."

Wood looked astonished; it was the first time he had ever heard that King Moonlit had such ambitions.

"What if King Yuelan abdicates...?"

"If we join forces, do you think Yuelan can hold out until King Yuelan abdicates?"

The young girl's domineering words immediately stunned Wood, but the Grand Duke did not bow down; instead, he gave a wry smile.

"Lady Sasha, I must remind you that the strength of the Nist Kingdom is now difficult to contend with that of the Moonlit Kingdom."

"What are you afraid of with my help?"

"The problem is, the other angel's stance is currently unclear."

Wood said in a deep voice, “I don’t know how close you are to the other angel, but she is really close to Louise.”

"I've known Miss for so long, so in terms of closeness, I'm definitely closer to her."

"but......"

However, the young lady is currently in her adolescence and is completely unreliable in her actions.

Logically speaking, she wouldn't side with 'outsiders' and make things difficult for herself, but a spoiled young lady in her adolescence might just want to act willfully.

"I'll talk to her soon, well, let's prepare for the worst first."

Upon hearing this, Wood's expression grew even more serious.

He asked anxiously, "Lady Sasha, even with you and three wizards, are you really able to stop Yuelan's angel?"

"what?"

The little girl looked at Wood with a puzzled expression: "Why do you think I'm much weaker than the young lady?"

"Uh"

"Don't worry, Miss was already somewhat inferior to me, and now..."

After thinking it over, the young girl decided to give the young lady some face.

"I can beat her relatively easily."

Wood visibly relaxed, and seeing this, Sasha smiled and asked, "Are there any problems with our cooperation now?"

"I want to confirm one last thing."

................................................

As she entered the damp dungeon, the little girl instinctively fanned her nose with her hand.

'The smell is terrible. This place feels even worse than the Dawn Church's dungeons.'

"Lady Sasha, that person is very tight-lipped. We've been torturing him until now, and he still won't say anything."

Wood began, “I suspect there’s more than one spy inside the castle, and I’m not at ease until I get him to talk.”

"Huh, so tough? Leave it to me, let's see who's behind this."

Upon reaching the bottom of the dungeon, the little girl immediately spotted the man who had been tortured beyond recognition.

"Grand Duke, Lord Angel."

The interrogator put down the whip dipped in salt water and said with a helpless expression, "This man must have undergone very rigorous training. My subordinates used every means at their disposal, but we still couldn't get him to reveal any useful information."

"Look at me"

Sasha's words were filled with a strange magic, and the man involuntarily opened his bloodshot eyes.

"Which power is behind you?"

"..."

The man trembled violently. He glared at Sasha but didn't say a word.

'You have some perseverance.'

The little girl instantly tripled the force she was applying to the man: "Speak!"

Volume 1: Chapter 127 Differentiation

After the Miracle Light's output is tripled, even the most elite warriors can't withstand it.

The man's expression shifted from struggle to numbness, and he quickly answered the little girl's question about his own faction.

"Church of the Stars"

This answer did not surprise Sasha and Wood. The little girl nodded and continued to ask, "Why did you want to assassinate Aran?"

“Bishop Victor’s orders.”

Do you have any other assassination targets?

"Grand Duke Wood"

"..."

"Grand Duke Wood?"

The little girl glanced at Wood and noticed that his expression had indeed turned ugly.

“You are his close attendant, and the Grand Duke has been so dejected lately.”

"If you wanted to assassinate him, you should have had plenty of opportunities. Why didn't you do it?"

"The assassination will only officially begin the moment the Grand Duke completely sides with the Angels."

"Besides you, who else in this castle has connections with the church?"

The man named two names, and Wood's face immediately darkened to a grim degree.

One is an old cook who has been living in the castle for more than ten years, and the other is actually her bedmate?

"Wood, the Church of the Stars has ill intentions towards you."

"Is there anything to hesitate about now?"

(Julian, you've really gone too far!)

Seeing the little girl smilingly extend her hand, Wood bent down and shook it without hesitation.

"May you finally send that fallen one to the stake!"

"Haha, it's a pleasure to work with you."

........................................................

The Church of the Stars' influence within Nistre extends far beyond a single branch of the church.

Churches scattered throughout the country, an immense number of ordinary believers, highly respected missionary priests, and bishops treated as honored guests by local powerful figures...

Even after joining forces with the angels, Wood was at a loss as to how to deal with this power.

"Lady Sasha, what do you think we should do next?"

“Simple, Wood, haven’t you officially broken ties with the church yet? Invite all the priests to the castle for a banquet.”

The priests whom the little girl "enlightened" at the branch last time were actually only a minority; the vast majority of clergy usually stayed in the various cathedrals of Nistrhagic Church.

"Are you planning to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?" Wood's tone unconsciously carried a murderous intent.

"No, I intend to influence them."

Sasha said with a holy expression, "Many priests have been misled by the church's distorted doctrines. Once they understand the true meaning of the goddess, they will surely repent."

"Uh"

Perhaps thinking of those former church priests who faithfully followed the angels, Wood quickly nodded with a strange expression.

"Lady Sasha, then we'll see what you can do."

"but......"

Wood asked curiously, "Are you only inviting priests to the banquet? Are you also going to try and influence the bishops?"

"The Protestant Church of the future will have no place for the fallen."

The young girl smiled and said, "When I was at the branch, I originally intended to put several bishops to trial on the spot."

"But then I thought, I shouldn't be the one judging those bishops."

"what?"
