As soon as he got home, John Wick had just finished washing up. After separating from him at the airport, Hennessy came looking for him and pulled him out of the villa.
"Lord Strauss wants to see you," Hennessy pulled the puzzled John and explained, "After I reported to Lord Strauss on the phone,
Everyone wants to see with their own eyes if you can really get His Majesty's favor when you call out his name. "
Hearing this, John Wick immediately understood what these ascetics, who had not received any response from Heaven for many years, were thinking.
He clearly had the Demon Slayer Skill in his hands, but it was like a gun without bullets, and could only scare people. No one could accept this.
Now that they suddenly heard that the newly recognized leader not only had plenty of bullets in his hands, but was also willing to distribute them to his subordinates, everyone naturally had to ask him, the person who had just tried it, what exactly happened, and how to get the bullets from the leader.
As long as they had extraordinary skills, these people who had been training hard all year round, to put it nicely, would stop the invasion of demons and foreign species, and maintain the stability of the human world.
To put it bluntly, from then on, everyone would be a class of people who were superior to others.
It was not easy to talk about money directly, or there might really be people who did not care about profit and power, but becoming famous, being remembered by future generations, and having their stories passed down to future generations, there should not be many people who could refuse.
If they really did not care about fame, profit, and power, then they would either be mud or a true saint.
But why did ascetics train hard?
If they really could let go, they would not have persevered for so long. Moreover, the goal of going to Heaven was actually a kind of request.
Sitting in Hennessy's car, the two of them entered the Vatican, but after walking for about a hundred meters, they had to get out of the car and walk. There were too many people today.
Looking at the sea of people in Peter Square, John Wick, who did not have any faith in his heart, felt a surge of restlessness in his heart.
"John, this way."
After showing his ID to the dozen or so Vatican guards, Hennessy turned around and looked at the stunned John Wick, and could not help but shout out.
John Wick, who had come back to his senses, quickly followed Hennessy into the passage for internal personnel.
After making many turns, they arrived at a magnificent palace and saw Siman, who was wearing a black priest robe with red edges.
When he saw the two of them, Siman opened his arms and walked over to John Wick. He excitedly hugged John and said, "Thank you for bringing us this news, John."
"I have to thank Hennessy for reminding me," John Wick said as he slightly broke free from Siman's embrace. "What about Sir Strauss?"
Siman said to a large double door, "Sir Strauss is praying inside. Let's wait for a moment."
At this time, Strauss was indeed praying, but the person he was praying to was William.
Ever since he found out that John Wick had borrowed the Holy Light directly from William, he, who had been hesitating, finally decided to get closer to William.
William, who was far away on the English Channel, had just woken up after sleeping for five or six hours when he heard a prayer in his heart.
After listening carefully with his eyes closed for a moment, he understood that the person praying to him was Strauss.
William smiled as he listened to Strauss' flattering words. After thinking for a while, he replied in a low voice, "That's right.
This made Strauss's face instantly reveal a joyful expression. He suppressed his excitement and waited silently.
William asked Sunday to inform Saul and Wilson on the ship that he would be leaving for a while and teleporting to the Elven Forest to see Alice, who had been clamoring and demanding to see him after waking up.
When she saw William, Alice, who had recovered, was playing with Bell and Glittergold in the Elven Forest. She was also looking for a suitable Light Elf Temple according to William's instructions.
Seeing William, Alice first screamed happily, then snorted and hid.
William understood that Alice was waiting for him to coax her. After spending some time to make the little girl laugh, Alice then surrounded William and complained for a few minutes.
Then, like a child, he brought him to see the place he had chosen to build the temple, as if he was asking for credit.
William didn't really care about where to build the temple.
As long as it was in this forest, and Alice liked it, it was fine as long as she didn't regret building the temple after it was built.
However, when William saw the place Alice had chosen, he looked at Bell in surprise.
Without a doubt, this valley, which was like a magic planet, full of flowers, must have been made by them.
It seemed that Alice, Christine, and the other Light Elves were all the same. They all liked flowers and plants and were instinctively close to nature.
After flying up to the sky and looking around, he said to Alice, who was flashing around and playing with him, "Are you sure you want to build your temple here?"
"Of course, of course, master is so long-winded, Alice likes it here."
William covered his ears, "Sunday, have you prepared all the materials?"
"Yes, sir, the materials needed for the main temple are not only prepared, but also built a template according to the specifications. It can be assembled at any time."
"Very good, then let's start."
As soon as the portal was opened, a large number of engineering robots and special transport vehicles drove out of the portal one after another. They began to assemble the temple made of metal at the place Alice had chosen.
In only ten minutes, a mini temple, only three or four meters high, appeared in front of everyone.
William looked at the small building with a smile and said to Alice, "Go and see if you like it, little girl."
The building was three or four meters high and more than one hundred square meters. It was too small for William, but it was very big for Alice at this time. It even seemed empty.
If it wasn't for the house elves, Bell, and Dazzling Gold, entering the temple to accompany Alice, William wouldn't have to build it more than one hundred square meters.
However, this metal building was just a temporary product. During the time when Alice grew up to the same age as Christine, the engineering robots had enough time to build a magnificent temple made of marble in this valley.
Alice wandered around the metal temple for a few minutes, flashing around and looking at all the places. She flashed in front of William and said, "It's all cold, I don't like it.
"It's all cold metal. I don't like it. I don't want to live here without a master."
Damn it, he knew that children were the source of trouble. William's head hurt from the noise. He thought about it and teleported Strauss, who was still in Rome, over.
Seeing a stranger appear, Alice instantly flashed on top of William's head, grabbed his hair, and hid.
"Your Majesty?"
After seeing William, Strauss bowed and waited for William to speak. He had a premonition that he was about to enter the ranks of Transcendents.
"Alice, don't be afraid. Strauss is an ascetic of the Holy Light." William gently wrapped Alice with his spiritual power and suspended her on his shoulder.
He said softly, "You're a Light Elf. To Strauss and the others, you're a living miracle. They can't wait to protect you, they can't hurt you."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Strauss looked at Alice, who seemed to be made of light, and stammered, "Is, is this a little angel?"
"No, no." William didn't care whether it was right or not. He lied with his eyes wide open, "Alice is a Light Elf. They are more favored by the Holy Light than angels.
Angels can bless you, so can she. As long as your heart is in the light, you don't have as many restrictions as angels. "
After talking to Strauss, William smiled and said to Alice, who was lying on his shoulder and looking at Strauss curiously.
"Little guy, this white-haired old man doubts your ability. Shouldn't you give him a Holy Light Blessing and let him know that little Alice is the embodiment of the Holy Light?"
"I don't want to." Alice pouted and mumbled, "Master can do it himself. Why should Alice lose her Holy Light energy?"
"Then other than playing, don't you want to do something for me?"
Looking at Alice, who was thinking with her head lowered, William tempted, "And if you do the thing I'm giving you well, we'll go find a unicorn as a mount. How about it?"
Hearing the word unicorn, Alice thought for a moment and finally knew what a unicorn was in her inherited memories.
She instantly flew to William's ear, grabbed his earlobe and said in surprise, "Hurry up and find a pony for Alice. Alice doesn't want to fly by herself. She wants to ride a pony and let the pony carry Alice."
"No problem, little guy." William pointed at Strauss, who had been bowing. "Give him a Holy Light Blessing and I'll take you to find a pony."
Alice immediately said, "Then I want to bathe in the Holy Light."
"No problem." If it wasn't for the fact that William didn't want to rely on faith to increase his power, he wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to the little guy.
He would rather give the power of faith to the Tree of Life, Celia, than let Heaven get it. Moreover, taking the faith of these Holy Light Extraordinary could be considered as revenge for Heaven's plot against him.
And after Alice absorbed the faith, this little guy might grow up faster and his strength would also increase rapidly.
Alice, who had received William's promise, imitated William and curled her lips as she looked at Strauss. She said in disdain, "He's about to die, no wonder he wants the Holy Light Blessing."
Strauss, who had been respectful and excited but had a calm expression, couldn't help but kneel on the ground when he heard Alice's words. He looked at Alice in horror.
Then, he looked at William with pleading eyes.
This little guy has such an ability?
William, who was in a daze, came back to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly felt that it was because Strauss was about to die that he was more likely to be grateful.
"It's because he's about to die that you should pity him. Otherwise, after painstakingly cultivating his entire life and barely cultivating a little bit of Holy Light, he won't know that Holy Light is just Holy Light until he dies. There's no need to place your hopes on angels living in other dimensions.
And saving people is also a good thing, isn't it? "
Although she felt that William was fooling her, Alice, who had just been born a few days ago, was still frightened by Strauss who was kneeling on the ground.
"But if his heart is evil, he will be purified."
"Don't worry, Mr. Strauss will definitely be willing to accept this test." William glared at Alice, who was dilly-dallying.
Alice curled her lips and flew to the top of Strauss's head. She raised her small hand that was as thin as a match and chanted the Elvish language. A ray of Holy Light appeared above her head as she finished chanting the last part of the incantation.
It fell directly on top of Strauss's head and turned into a clear stream that nourished his withered and old body.
Ten seconds later, Strauss, who closed his eyes and felt his strength and vitality being rejuvenated in his body, and his affinity with Holy Light had also increased. He respectfully lay on the ground and kowtowed to Alice.
"I sincerely thank you for your care, the great Princess Alice. Your servant Strauss will always obey you and His Majesty Devonshire."
William smiled and nodded, but he knew in his heart that whether these words were true or not would depend on the future.
"From now on, you ascetics can pray directly to Alice. As for who will receive Alice's care, it will depend on your own performance."
Strauss nodded. With him as an example, the others couldn't deny it even if they wanted to.
As for why William didn't do it himself and let Alice take the role of someone else, the old and wise Strauss quickly remembered that William had promised not to compete with that person for the faith of ordinary people.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have hesitated these days. From the meaning of William's words, Heaven did exist, but something big must have happened. Although William had scruples, he wasn't afraid at all.
What's more, the existence of the Stonewing Monster indirectly explained everything, but even the Stonewing Monster couldn't sense any feedback. Heaven was probably declining like other myths.
William thought about it and felt that this was too general. Moreover, Alice was still a child, and those ascetics who had never come into contact with her didn't know how to please her.
"Alice is a Light Fairy. She likes all righteous actions and qualities, so if you want to receive her care, you need to eliminate demons, do good, and sacrifice these great human qualities. I don't think I need to mention them again."
"As you command, Your Majesty. Only by having a heart towards the light can you receive the light's approval."
"Very good." William himself was generally considered to be on the side of justice. He could do bad things, but he didn't want his subordinates to be villains. This was probably what all leaders wanted.
"If there's nothing else, I'll send you back." He waved his hand and opened a portal behind Strauss.
He then looked at Alice, who was lying on his shoulder, and smiled. "The Light Fairy Temple has just been built, so Alice should be in a good mood. If I were you, I'd go back and gather the ascetics."
Strauss glanced at Alice, who was yawning, and nodded respectfully. He silently retreated to his room.
.....
John Wick waited for more than ten minutes before he heard the door open with a click. He then saw Strauss, who was wearing a priest's robe, walk out with a smile.
When John, Siman, and Hennessy saw Strauss, they inexplicably felt that something was different.
Although he still looked like an old man with white hair and a face full of wrinkles, the three of them could easily feel that Strauss's footsteps were steady. He didn't look like an old man in his seventies at all.
The three of them couldn't help but secretly wonder what had happened to Strauss.
Siman and Hennessy immediately thought back to when they had first met William. When William had poured Holy Light into their bodies, the old Strauss had been like today, and his body had improved a lot.
Could it be that Strauss had also received William's care?
