So I'm a sheep.

The bishops, who were still somewhat skeptical, paid even closer attention to the little girl, and soon they discovered yet another 'unusual' aspect of this divine messenger.

Angels cannot eat food from the lower realms.

This was originally just a setup, and many bishops thought the little girl was just faking it.

But, but so much time has passed, and she really doesn't eat the church's food, she only eats one 'Heavenly Seed' every two days!

If you ate only one seed every two days, an ordinary person would have starved to death long ago.

The puzzled bishops joined forces to conduct an in-depth investigation, and they soon discovered that the Pope would occasionally give the little girl a bag of cooked seeds.

Is this the truth?

While disappointed, everyone also felt a sense of relief.

However, things soon took a turn for the better!

"Lady Sasha, does she send you a bag of cooked seeds every day or two?"

In the dimly lit interrogation room, the cafeteria worker trembled with fear.

"Yes, it is."

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have been greedy. I shouldn't have taken what God had given me!"

The bishops exchanged bewildered glances. Even without torture, they knew that the poor woman before them would never dare to lie to them.

"It might be a trap."

Someone said in a deep voice, "His Holiness actually gave her more than one bag of seeds each time. She gave one of the bags to this woman to cover it up."

"There's no need to rush to conclusions. We'll know whether it's true or false after we continue to observe for a while."

"..."

Two weeks later, the bishops who participated in the investigation were shocked.

They were horrified to discover that the little girl ate nothing else except a 'Heavenly Seed' every two days without fail!

Even so, apart from his stomach rumbling from time to time, the divine messenger showed no signs of weakness.

"Lady Sasha, she...she is truly not an ordinary person!"

"Oh my God, oh my God, angels are all around us."

"I've checked. Lady Sasha appeared out of thin air; she... had no past..."

"..."

"His Holiness claims that the seeds he brought back from heaven were actually prepared for him by the cook every time."

"It's easy to find out, after all, His Holiness the Pope didn't intend to hide it."

Indeed, everyone was 'sensible,' and Leonard felt there was no need to go to great lengths to conceal it.

“But Lady Sasha has never even tasted the seeds that His Holiness the Pope brought back from Heaven,” an older bishop said meaningfully.

"I have made another discovery."

One of the bishops spoke up: "Lady Sasha enjoys reading various documents in the church. As you know, many ancient documents use scripts that are no longer in circulation!"

"However, no matter what language the documents are written in, Lady Sasha can understand them."

"How can you be sure you really understand it and aren't just pretending?" someone immediately questioned.

"It's not an act."

One of the bishops, who had been silent until now, spoke up. He was a scholar of the church.

“I took the opportunity to discuss those documents with Lady Sasha yesterday, and she really can understand the meaning of every single word.”

"Not only that, I also took out a document that I had treasured, which I had only been able to translate into its general meaning after many years of research, and asked that gentleman for advice."

"How about it?"

"Lady Sasha explained the meaning of every word..."

"..."

"......"

"The origins of the Church of Dawn can be traced back to the myth of angels."

"The myth of angels has a long history and was not fabricated by the first pope."

"so?"

"She is extraordinary despite her ordinariness, Lady Sasha. She is no ordinary person."

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

The little girl noticed something strange: many bishops who had previously been indifferent to her now greeted her warmly.

'That war really had a huge impact.'

Sasha didn't think of going anywhere else, assuming it was because of the war.

"Teacher, what are we going to learn today?"

Arriving at Leonard's room on time, the little girl asked energetically.

"Sasha, today... today we're not going to study."

"what?"

“I have nothing more to teach you, Sasha. You’ve graduated from today,” Leonard said with a smile.

"I... there are still many things I don't understand!"

"Haha, there are also many things I don't understand. Sasha, you need to move on to the next stage."

Leonard encouraged him, "Don't ask me everything; you have to learn to think for yourself."

"teacher......"

Sasha was very upset. Although the Pope spoke kindly, she could clearly sense that Leonard had an undisguised fear of her.

Volume 1: Chapter 24 The Guard

"Teacher, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Thank you so much!"

The little girl bowed to Leonard and walked out with tears in her eyes.

"..."

His Holiness the Pope closed his eyes, his face ashen.

'Perhaps I shouldn't have treated her like that.'

The thought was fleeting, and Leonard quickly hardened his heart.

Sasha is currently at the height of her influence in the church. If she continues to grow like this, her position as pope will become increasingly precarious.

Of course, the young girl may not have much desire for power.

But is Leonard the kind of person who would hand over the initiative to someone else?

'To truly defeat Sasha, it's simple: just make her participate in a war she's destined to lose.'

After all, she wasn't a true messenger of God, and 'miracles' won't happen again and again.

After a moment's thought, Leonard wisely abandoned the plan.

Sasha is now a shining example for the church, and as the pope, there is no reason for him to ruin his own reputation.

'Then let it cool down.'

Stop sending the little girl to the battlefield and gradually diminish her influence.

“It’s not really being ignored, Sasha. I’ve been treating you as the church’s trump card.”

"Aces should not be used casually."

After talking to himself for a while, Leonard felt much better.

He really had some feelings for his disciple, Sasha.

However, the Pope is used to being a dictator and does not want anyone to threaten his position.

Secondly...

'What are those guys up to, all this secretive stuff?'

Leonard noticed something unusual about some of the bishops; they seemed to be working together and, intentionally or unintentionally, helping the little girl expand her influence within the church.

Sasha already had a huge influence, and with the strong support of a group of bishops...

I believe you were actually unaware of the situation, but I'm sorry.

Leonard sighed, patted his face, and cheered himself up.

Because of the impact of that war, the church is now full of energy.

He needs to make good use of this opportunity to further strike at the Black Hand Brotherhood.

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

Since the school was suspended, the little girl has had plenty of free time every day.

She approached Leonard twice, expressing her desire to go to the battlefield to contribute to the church, but was firmly rejected both times.

"Sasha, now is not the time."

"The Black Hand Brotherhood is definitely keeping an eye on you. Once they find out you're on the battlefield, their weapon users will definitely come out in full force."

"Stay in the church for now and wait until things calm down before going out."

His Holiness the Pope's words make sense, and besides, the little girl has no way to leave the church unless he agrees.

Sasha returned to her room dejectedly. A few days later, seemingly to ease the tension between the mentor and student, Leonard prepared a surprise for Sasha.

"Daisy!"

"Lady Sasha!"
