So I'm a sheep.

"I see! Jinxi City is saved!"

"..."

"No, no, didn't you still not understand before? If you didn't understand, what did you mean by 'oh'?"

“I understand. Anyway, just leave everything to Lady Sasha,” Fred said casually.

The little girl's face darkened instantly. She was exhausted and desperately trying to turn the situation around.

But this guy doesn't use his brain at all, he just says "It's all yours" and that's it?

Alright, since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony.

"Lord City Lord, I have a talent to recommend to you!"

"what?"

"Have you heard of the man behind me?"

"The Black Knight? I know him! A famous figure in the church, an incredibly powerful magic weapon user!"

"Well, if you know him, I won't introduce him. The Black Knight is a capable man, and I propose that from today onwards, the garrison of Golden Creek City be handed over to him for management."

The Black Knight's expression changed, and before he could speak, Fred actually agreed.

"Alright, I'll give the order as soon as I leave."

"I also need you to declare your identity as a devout believer and persuade the higher-ups in Jinxi City to worship the goddess."

"This, Lady Sasha, is a bit difficult."

"Is it difficult?"

The young girl calmly replied, "Every night, one person of any standing in the city dies. They must be terrified by now."

"What difficulties would it be to persuade them to believe in the goddess now?"

"Lady Sasha, do you remember the amulet you gave me before?"

Of course I remember.

Fred whispered, "Some people kept your amulet close to their bodies, but they still couldn't escape the calamity after the drums started beating."

"So many people, well, they don't really trust you, and they're a bit resistant to the idea of ​​worshipping a goddess."

"I never said that the amulet could save lives. In fact, its real effect is to prevent the souls of those killed by demons from falling into purgatory."

The little girl immediately said, "Those who devoutly believe in our Lord will certainly not be afraid of this, for their souls are protected by our Lord."

"But those high-ranking officials in your city..."

"Heh, how many of them are truly devout?"

"Oh, right, as expected, someone of high status will die tonight as well."

"Fred, you take them to see it tomorrow morning!"

"Lady Sasha, what should I take them to see?"

"Check if the amulet on the deceased person is cracked."

The little girl said calmly, "If the amulet were a fraud, why would it crack? It was precisely because it was effective in fighting the demon that it eventually broke."

"So that's how it is!" Fred exclaimed in sudden realization.

"In that case, is there still a problem in persuading them to believe in our Lord?"

"No problem, absolutely no problem!"

"The construction of the temple must be expedited; time is of the essence. We can simply find a suitable place and modify it."

"Hmm," Fred hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

“Sincere intentions are what my lord values ​​most.”

The young girl smiled and said, "It's settled then. Oh, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with."

"Who is the most skilled hunter in Jinxi City? I have something to ask him."

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

The Black Knight's arrival as the supreme commander of the guard immediately provoked a strong backlash from the soldiers.

"Who does he think he is? Why should his superior give up his position for him?"

"Oh dear, the city lord listens to that church's messenger without question. Let alone the guards, I bet he'd give up the city lord's position with just a word from that little girl."

"The church has clearly abandoned us!"

"We demand an explanation."

"That's right, go and demand an explanation!"

Incited by certain individuals, the soldiers surrounded the city lord's mansion.

"What...what should I do?!"

"The soldiers have mutinied! The soldiers have rebelled!"

"No, I have to go find Lady Sasha."

"Wait a minute."

The Black Knight stopped Fred and said gently, "It's a small matter, no need to trouble Lady Sasha. I can handle it perfectly well."

"you?"

It was clear that Fred lacked confidence in the Black Knight.

"Lord City Lord, I'm actually quite curious."

The Black Knight said slowly, "A bunch of weaklings who would be terrified of ordinary artifact users, how dare they challenge me, the strongest artifact user?"

"Uh"

“At this time, those who jump out to sing a different tune are all unstable elements. Lord City Lord, the matter of cleaning up the mess is entrusted to you.”

Volume 1: Chapter 49 Insurance

On the day the temple renovation was completed, at the mobilization of the city lord, all the people living nearby gathered in front of the temple.

Looking at the church's messengers, some were filled with anticipation, while others showed resentment.

Thank you all for coming.

The little girl's voice wasn't loud, but miraculously everyone could hear it clearly.

"Everyone knows what the situation is like in Jinxi City right now. There are demons lurking outside the city, and they not only want your lives, but also want to drag the souls of the innocent into purgatory!"

"Don't think that handing me over will make the devil show you mercy and spare you. Have you forgotten? The devil's target has been Golden Creek City from the very beginning!"

After just a few words, the fear in people's hearts was completely ignited.

"I don't want to die!"

"I can't stay in this damn place for another second."

Why did we encounter this situation?

Let's all run away together!

"There's no escape. Everyone who tried to escape before is dead!"

"Salvation can be found through faith in Our Lord."

The little girl's voice rang out at just the right moment: "A devout believer, our Lord will protect his soul from being taken away by the devil!"

A commotion arose in the crowd, and soon someone shouted at the little girl, "Divine Messenger, only the soul can be saved? If I believe in the goddess, can she protect me from being killed by demons?"

"of course can!"

The little girl said resolutely, "As long as the people of Jinxi City are devout enough, the goddess will grant me divine power to defeat the demon!"

"Really? Really?"

"If we believe in the goddess today, will you be able to drive away the demons tomorrow?"

"Have a devout faith."

The little girl waved her hand: "Bring it up!"

Under the curious gazes of the crowd, an empty water vat was carried by the soldiers to the front of the temple.

"Look everyone, isn't there not a single drop of water left in this water tank?"

Seeing everyone nod, the little girl said solemnly, "From today onwards, the more devout believers there are in Jinxi City, the fuller the water jar will be."

"That's right, what I mean is—water will magically appear out of thin air in an empty water tank!"

"The water tank is placed at the entrance of the temple, and everyone is welcome to supervise."

"When this water tank is full, the goddess will grant me divine power to defeat the demon!"

That night, many people waited in front of the water tank and were shocked to find that no one had added water, but there was indeed a shallow layer of water at the bottom of the tank!

"The goddess has appeared!"

Many people immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly toward the water vat.

"May the goddess protect us."

"Please grant me divine power so that my divine messenger may defeat the demon!"

"I'm going crazy if this continues, Goddess, please help Jinxi City."

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

The next day, when the little girl arrived at the temple, countless people were bowing and worshipping in front of the water vat.

'It's done'

Sasha breathed a sigh of relief as she quickly absorbed the tiny specks of light emanating from the people.

"My Lord, has the Goddess already protected us?" someone asked the little girl with great anticipation.

"Hmm? I remember saying yesterday that the goddess will only bless Jinxi City when the water in the water tank is full."
