So I'm a sheep.

Pope Zorn instinctively took a step back; otherwise, he felt as if he were being 'sucked into' the painting in front of him.

"Master Fred, this is truly a masterpiece!"

"Hahaha, Your Holiness, do you think so too?"

After laughing, Fred sighed and said, "I was worried that I would never find my inspiration again, but after looking at my previous works, I suddenly had a burst of inspiration!"

"This 'Angel Salvation' painting is my greatest masterpiece to date, and from now on..."

After a pause, Fred said with a complicated expression, "I'm afraid we won't be able to create anything that surpasses it in the future."

"Congratulations, Lady Sasha!"

"Yes, congratulations, Lady Sasha!"

"Your feat will be remembered forever along with this painting."

"..."

The little girl seemed a bit distracted; it took her a moment to realize what was happening.

"Fred, is this painting really for me?"

"It was painted specifically for you."

Fred said with a smile, "I'm very happy to be able to express my feelings through this painting."

“Such excellent works should be seen by more people, Pope Zorn. I suggest that the Church hold regular art exhibitions.”

"That's a great idea!" Fred nodded in agreement.

"If you both think it's good, then..."

The little girl listened with a smile, but her mind was elsewhere.

'It's confirmed now; Fred lost his inspiration after I took away the little light.'

'With the infusion of power, his inspiration exploded, and he instantly created this incredible work.'

'...'

'The power I gave Fred this time far exceeded what I obtained from him, yet even so, Fred didn't return to his original form.'

Midway through, the little girl tried to cut off the power supply, and Fred suddenly looked bewildered.

This means that without the little girl's support, Fred is still in a state of 'unable to find inspiration'.

What's lost can never be regained.

Based on Fred's situation and that of the wounded, the little girl vaguely grasped the essence of the small light spot.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

'It's just a thin veil away.'

"All I need is... just a sudden flash of inspiration, and I can completely understand the secrets of the power within my body."

With a long sigh of relief, the girl waited for Zorn to finish talking about the art exhibition before immediately saying, "Zorn, I want to start a new department."

His Holiness the Pope was taken aback. He looked at the little girl curiously: "Lady Sasha, what new department?"

"Have the fifty-eight top-tier magical artifacts been stored away?"

"Master Fred's guards have already handed over all the magical artifacts mixed in with the goods."

"Well, this is what I'm thinking..."

Volume 1: Chapter 60 The Court

The establishment of the new department did not encounter any resistance. As soon as the young girl finished explaining her idea, Pope Zorn readily agreed.

"Lady Sasha, this is wonderful news!"

His Holiness was even somewhat overjoyed: "The Black Hand Brotherhood suffered heavy losses during the Headquarters Battle, and another fifty-eight of their weapon users died in Gold Creek City."

"If your plan goes smoothly, the number of artifact users in the Church may surpass that of the Black Hand Brotherhood in the future!"

I hope so.

Sasha wasn't so optimistic. The church was taking action, and Simon couldn't just sit and wait to die.

It's important to know that the Black Hand Brotherhood has a much simpler way of training weapon users than the Church.

"Lady Sasha, since this is a new department, please name it."

"Hmm, let me think..."

The little girl pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it the Inquisition, the church inquisition that judges heretics in the name of God!"

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

After resting at church for a few days, Sasha got busy again.

"In the name of God, this land is blessed with abundance!"

"Accept the gifts of our Lord, for the devout will not go hungry."

"Eat up, eat up! These potatoes grew for you to eat. Wouldn't it be a waste of the goddess's good intentions if you didn't dare to eat them?"

"You sinners, you have already witnessed the miracles of our Lord, why don't you repent now!"

The little girl displayed the miracle of abundance in village after village, and the villagers, while being grateful, also contributed many small acts of kindness.

Gradually, in addition to being a messenger of the gods, Sasha acquired another title that even she herself was unaware of—the Angel of Miracles!

"Lady Sasha, several of my old friends will also be here tomorrow to witness the miracle of our Lord."

One evening, after Fred finished eating his baked potatoes, he ran to the little girl and told her the news.

Fred's old friends, aren't they all high-ranking officials in the neutral zone?

The church has finally begun to act, just as the little girl had imagined. Zorn and the bishops are preparing to gradually infiltrate the neutral zone from top to bottom.

"Okay, I understand."

The little girl nodded: "I hope that after seeing the grace of our Lord, your friends will also be moved."

“It will definitely be impactful; who knows, the church might have a few more glorified bishops by then,” Fred said with a smile.

Hey Fred, you've changed your tune pretty quickly. Are you now all about the church's interests?

Lady Sasha

Fred's face suddenly showed unease. He leaned closer and whispered, "Shouldn't we send soldiers to watch over those people?"

The little girl followed Fred's gaze and saw a group of newly recruited punishers gathered together, praying softly.

"Their identities have changed drastically, and now is the most sensitive time for them."

"As God's messenger, I want them to feel the love and care of the church."

"Well"

Fred seemed to still find it hard to accept: "Lady Sasha, those people are all bad, why are you so kind to them?"

'Have I been good to them?'

'However, everyone was given a roasted potato, plus a little free time for prayer.'

That's what she thought, but seeing that many soldiers were secretly watching them, the little girl put on a sacred expression.

"God loves the world."

"Spreading love and justice to the world is my duty as a little angel."

"Lady Sasha..."

Fred was moved, and the soldiers around him looked on with admiration.

"It's getting late, everyone should get some rest."

The little girl yawned: "The next village is a bit far from here, I'll have to get up early tomorrow."

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

"Fred, why did you suddenly quit being the city lord and become a bishop at the church?"

"Yes, yes, I'd like to get together with you after the crisis in Jinxi City is over."

"You stepped down without saying a word. At first, I thought you had been threatened."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, you guys. I sent out the plea for help to you, didn't I? Not a single one of you came to my rescue," Fred said angrily.

"Uh"

"Well..."

"Well, it's not entirely our fault. Simon's infamous reputation is too great. My soldiers' legs go weak at the mere mention of his name. How could they possibly travel all this way to rescue you?"

“That’s right, if anyone else came to your territory and caused trouble, I would immediately send troops to their aid. But Simon…”

"That guy is a demon, he just slaughtered a city!"

Several people complained repeatedly, but in the end, it was Fred who felt embarrassed.

"Sigh, I understand, it's not really my fault."

"The horror of demons is unimaginable without experiencing it firsthand."

"Thank goodness for Lady Sasha, otherwise we would never have had the chance to reunite."

"..."

"Fred, is that divine messenger really that powerful?"

Someone lowered their voice and asked, "I mean, she really is an angel, not the church...?"

"Lady Sasha is of course a true angel!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fred angrily said, "Don't say that in front of the church's soldiers, or they'll beat you to death."

"No way, it's that serious?"

The man was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes.

'It's been a while since I've seen Fred, and he seems to have been brainwashed.'
