So I'm a sheep.

"Are there any differences in ability or appearance between elite monsters that evolve by devouring the corpses of different races?"

"If their abilities and appearances are different, can these elite monsters that are evolving in different directions get along amicably?"

The little girl's series of questions left the young woman completely bewildered.

She stared blankly at the angel, her head practically filled with question marks.

"Don't understand?"

"Hmm, it seems I'll have to go underground myself."

Volume 1: Chapter 283 Traveling Together

Sasha's decision to go to the underworld was not a spur-of-the-moment thing. After hearing about the blasphemous monsters, she suddenly thought: Clark has been out of contact for so long. Is it possible that he is not on the surface at all, but underground?

'My previous thinking was a bit limited. If something major happens on the surface, the church should receive the news very quickly.'

"Conversely, if we were underground, even if the world turned upside down, without Iris coming up for help, I wouldn't receive a single message."

“Lady Saliye, I’ll go with you.”

While the little girl was pondering, Vivian volunteered.

"you?"

"Well, Lady Sariel, I am an arcanist after all, I won't hold you back!"

Vivian showed a strong desire to go underground together, but Sasha hesitated for a moment before not immediately agreeing.

"I'll go see Speaker Garfield first and discuss it with him."

"..."

"........"

"I feel at ease with the princess by your side."

After the little girl told the old man about Vivian's desire to go on an adventure in the underground world with him, the old man immediately agreed.

“If you weren’t at the church, I would be worried about the princess’s safety. It would be best if she were with you.”

"Haha, there are plenty of secret passages in the church. Even if Clark and the succubus attack together, you can still move away easily."

"There's nothing to worry about, just be cautious."

The young girl instructed, "Whether I thwart Clark's plot or not on this trip, take action as soon as I come back up."

“Alex has already contacted the mercenaries; your Arcane Council should also get ready.”

Although Garfield felt he could wait a little longer, seeing that Sasha had made up her mind, he didn't say anything more to object.

"I understand."

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

Before arriving in the underground world, Sasha was full of anticipation for it.

But once she actually followed the Drow girl underground, the little girl realized that this place was quite different from what she had imagined.

It's just an ordinary piece of soil; you can hardly tell whether it's a mud monster or not.

You were resting peacefully against a rock when suddenly the rock sprouted arms and legs and started to smash you to death.

Various poisonous insects are impossible to guard against. If you are bitten by one by chance, without a special antidote, you might as well slit your own throat and die a quicker death.

'No wonder the Arcane Empire couldn't handle these dungeon lords; in such harsh conditions, the achievements of a human army would be extremely limited.'

"Iris, what do you usually eat?"

"Mushrooms, Doruo beast meat, or if all else fails, we can find some moss to eat outside."

"Did you bring any food? Let me have some to try."

"There's still some Doro beast meat on him, Lady Sariye, here you go."

After thanking the young girl, she put the piece of meat in her mouth and chewed it twice.

"..."

'Good, very tough. It tastes like meat, but there's no seasoning or anything.'

After forcing herself to swallow the piece of meat, Sasha exclaimed sincerely, "It's not tasty."

"My lord, this is already quite good food in the underground world."

“If I weren’t the mistress’s daughter, my usual staple food would be that hard-to-swallow moss.”

Iris then tried to soothe the little girl by saying, "The underground world is far less resource-rich than the surface world."

“Every time the city lords unite to launch a so-called ‘surface invasion war,’ they are just trying to steal some food.”

"Oh, I see. You're all so pitiful (without mercy)."

The little girl's tone was completely flat, which made Iris feel extremely embarrassed.

"Lady Saliye, what is the world like where you angels live?"

Vivian, who had been very quiet the whole way, finally spoke up. She had thought it would be a romantic trip, but when she got to the underground, she found that this wretched place didn't have even the slightest element of romance.

Disappointed, Vivian wanted to find out more about the young girl.

"The world of angels..."

"Angels rule over many worlds, all kinds of them."

"I belong to the higher angel legion, Starlight, whose base is in a golden world."

"That world did not have an empire that had achieved great unification like the Arcane Empire. Cities were scattered across the continent, and various races maintained their autonomy."

“Lady Saliye, the situation in your world sounds quite similar to the underworld,” Vivian said thoughtfully.

"Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it's true..."

"However, the biggest difference is that there is no race as transcendent as angels in the underworld."

"Don't the angels ever think about establishing a glorious empire?" Vivian asked again.

"Haha, it doesn't really mean much."

The little girl smiled and said, "Why establish an empire? There are no dynasties that never decline; only faith is eternal."

"We angels do not build empires, but only the Church of Goddess!"

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

Vivian was alright after hearing what the little girl said, but the young girl was deeply shaken.

"Lady Sariel, do angels only spread the goddess's faith among humans?" Iris asked nervously.

"Of course not, angels spread the glory of the goddess among all intelligent races."

"What, are you interested in the goddess's teachings?"

Yes, a little.

Seeing Iris's flustered expression, Sasha had a sudden thought.

'By the way, why not try missionary work in the underworld?'

'Leaving aside other races, at least the drow are intelligent beings.'

'...'

“Ahem, Iris, come here, let me tell you about the teachings of the Great Goddess.”

The little girl began to explain patiently, but after a while, she noticed that although the girl was listening attentively, she seemed to be losing interest.

After a moment's thought, Sasha understood the key point: what she had just said was all about persuading people to do good, and perhaps Iris wasn't interested in such doctrines.

"That's true. A race that can thrive in such harsh conditions, while not necessarily vicious, is certainly not kind."

If you try to spread doctrines like "be kind" to the inhabitants of the underworld, they'll probably think you're a fool.

"It's alright, it's alright. The Goddess's teachings do indeed encourage people to do good, but that's not the only thing they do."

Other...

The little girl thought about it and felt that "self-improvement" was quite suitable for the residents of the underground world.

Volume 1: Chapter 284 Performance

As expected, the drow girl perked up immediately after Sasha changed the subject.

"Iris, it's amazing that you drow can survive in such a harsh environment!"

"But adapting to the harsh living environment is only the first step. Haven't you thought about modifying the environment?"

"Transform the environment?"

"Yes, you've already accomplished the task of breaking through the rocks to build the city. And then there's planting fruits and vegetables, and raising docile livestock..."

As the little girl was talking, she noticed that Iris looked disappointed.

"what happened?"

“Lady Saliye, fruits and vegetables cannot be grown in the underground world. None of the seeds we stole from humans before have been successfully planted.”

"Chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep won't live long underground before they die. Alas, they're useless."

"Just because humans don't have crops suitable for growing in the underground world doesn't mean other worlds don't."

"Livestock is the same. Aren't you drow raising Doroi beasts?"

“Animal species like the Doromon, which can tenaciously survive in the underground world, are hard to find in the human world, but are countless in other worlds.”

Sasha said with a smile, "As long as the drows have a sincere faith in the goddess, the angels will find crops and livestock for you."

"This, this..."

Seeing the hesitant yet excited expression on Iris's face, the little girl was satisfied, but also secretly sighed in her heart.

'It's a pity that the conditions for bestowing divine magic are too strict. If every believer in the goddess could exchange their faith for divine magic from the Source Codex, the efficiency of the angels' evangelism would be immeasurably higher.'

Given the current state of the underground world, a simple healing spell or a more advanced ley line modification technique could easily attract a large number of believers.
