Like a clichéd opening, a long, long time ago... no one can remember exactly how long ago, but it was when Hermann had just successfully experimented with the "method of immortality".
Through his contact with the leaders of the Dark and Light clans, he learned many things that non-believers could not learn, even without much effort, namely magic.
Having mastered two types of magic, he achieved a balance between darkness and light within his body. It wasn't unheard of for someone to try learning both systems of magic simultaneously, but most of them failed to achieve this balance, causing their internal energy to become disordered and ultimately leading to their death from exhaustion.
Hermann didn't know where he got his talent from, but in any case, he not only didn't die from exhaustion, but also used these two powers to perfection.
When he finally created the magic of "immortality", he quickly discovered a problem: if he continued to do this for a long time, his power would decrease with each generation due to constantly changing bodies, eventually reaching the point where he would have no power at all, which was not in line with Herman's original intention.
But who is Hermann?
His mind is always filled with things that ordinary people wouldn't think of, such as creating a "method for immortality," or he comes up with a good way to replenish energy.
That was the saintess.
So-called saintesses are actually just ordinary people... no, they can't really be called ordinary people, at least their birth is different from that of ordinary people.
Every few decades, Herman would drop a "seed" into the Angel Spring, a "seed" formed from the condensation of the power of light. The Angel Spring is the most sacred place in the Holy See and a place where the faith power of believers gathers. Before long, a baby will be born in the Angel Spring, and this baby will be the saint of the Goddess of Light.
Naturally, the Holy See has the Angel Spring, and the Wizarding Association also has the Demon Spring. However, the one born in the Demon Spring is the Dark Daughter of the Goddess of Darkness.
Herman would not raise the two girls himself, partly because he lacked patience, and partly because the "saints" could play a greater role without his care.
For example, if the Maiden of Light is placed in a poor but happy family, she will have a more positive understanding of life. On the other hand, if the Daughter of Darkness is placed in a wealthy and noble family, her anger will be more intense when her identity is exposed and she is treated very differently from before. Thus, the Maiden of Light will receive more power of light because of her beautiful heart, while the Daughter of Darkness will receive more power of darkness because of her dissatisfaction and indignation.
Hermann liked to maximize the value of things, and it was because of his plan to create the "Saintess" that he was able to extend his life for hundreds of years, or rather, he himself couldn't remember exactly how many.
During his time with infinite life, Hermann traveled to many places besides being the Pope. Don't misunderstand, he wasn't a person who loved to go out. In modern terms, he was focused on "scientific research" and never wanted to leave his home.
To put it simply, he's a homebody.
So the places he went to were simply because he heard that interesting monsters had appeared there. After his own abilities had surpassed the level of ordinary people, he would naturally pursue things that were not human.
