Before Siman and Hennessy could think further, Strauss, who had benefited greatly because of John Wick, stepped forward and hugged John Wick. He then grabbed his arm and said with a smile,
"Thank you, my child. You have pointed the way for those of us who have been lost. You have shown us the miracle that we have been bitterly searching for. Everything we have persevered in is not in vain."
"No, no, Your Excellency, this is not my credit alone." John Wick pointed at the plump Hennessy and said, "I have to thank Pastor Hennessy for everything. He was the one who reminded me, and with the help of Mr. Devonshire, we were able to successfully seal that Claw Demon."
Hearing John Wick directly call William by his surname, Strauss frowned subtly, but it was not wrong to call him Mr.. "Forget it, there is no need to give the credit to each other. Both of you have contributed greatly."
He immediately regretted calling John Wick over. After all, William had already made it clear that Alice was the source of the Holy Light. Now, if he let John Wick cast those exorcism spells in public, it would be fine if William did not respond.
If he still responded, wouldn't it mess up William's plan?
However, this matter should have already spread among the ascetics by now. If he did not let John Wick cast a spell, the trouble would be even greater.
However, if he could think of this, the omnipotent His Holiness would definitely be able to think of this as well. Therefore, no matter what William decided, it was not something he, as a subordinate, could control.
After thinking about this, Strauss chatted with the three of them for a while before leading them out.
Since William had already made it clear, he should gather the ascetics and take the opportunity to pray to Alice. If they were lucky, there might be a few more ascetics who could use the Holy Light.
The four of them walked for more than ten minutes and entered a remote courtyard that looked very old from the outside.
A group of bald monks in linen robes and hoods were staring at them with bright eyes.
"Come on, John. Let everyone see if everything you did before was true."
Dozens of people stared at him with anticipation and suspicion, but John Wick was not afraid at all. After all, he really did borrow William's hand to personally kill a sealed demon.
Moreover, he was very clear that if he really borrowed power from William again, it should be a good thing for William. Seeing the existence of a miracle with their own eyes, these people would probably immediately become William's fanatics.
It was not a bad thing for him, as someone who was also in William's camp.
Many hands make light work. Many hands make light work. This was not a joke.
However, as he prayed to William in his heart under the expectant gazes of the crowd, William's scolding came to his mind after a few words, "Do you think I'm an automatic money printing machine? If you want money, just press a switch and it will automatically print out money, bastard."
John Wick was embarrassed, then he heard William scolding, "Even if it's a money printing machine, paper, ink, and electricity are free. Why don't you try praying to the Archangel Gabriel and see if he will respond to you?
You have to pay for a meal, how can it be so easy to get power for free? "
Alright, John Wick immediately mistakenly thought that his boss was stingy again, but how was he going to clean up the mess now?
Strauss looked at John Wick's expression and knew in his heart that William did not agree.
While he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he thought about how to smooth things over so that the morale of the team would not be low.
In an instant, a bitter look appeared on his face and he sighed, "It seems that His Majesty will not perform a miracle for us for no reason, otherwise, His Majesty would be annoyed to death."
Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, they thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
If William was willing to lend power to them even when they did not encounter any demons and were not in danger, then he, a legendary mage who was respected by everyone as His Majesty, would be too worthless.
Not to mention people of William's status, didn't they also have an indifferent attitude towards ordinary people?
They thought so, but it was inevitable that they would be disappointed.
"The statue, John, the statue."
To everyone's disappointment, John Wick, who was at a loss for what to do, hurriedly took out the alloy box that Hennessy had specially given him to block the malice of the golden demon statue when he heard Hennessy's reminder.
He opened the box and took out the demon statue. After raising it to show everyone, he respectfully handed it to Strauss. "The Claw Demon was directly sealed in this statue by Mr. Devonshire.
You should be able to feel the evil power from this statue now. "
There were only a few ascetics present who had cultivated the Holy Light. When the statue was taken out, they already felt a cold evil power.
Strauss, who took the statue, thought that someone had sent him a pillow when he was sleepy. He was still thinking about how to smooth over the matter of William's lack of response when a statue full of demonic thoughts appeared.
After taking the statue, he deliberately revealed the newly obtained Holy Light in his body. It gathered in his hands and surged towards the statue, intending to purify the Claw Demon in front of everyone.
For a moment, Strauss's hands were like huge light bulbs. If it were not for the fact that it was only four o'clock in the afternoon and the sky was still bright, and the courtyard was surrounded by surrounding buildings, this light would definitely attract the attention of ordinary people in the city.
But even if ordinary people could not see it, it did not mean that the ascetics present did not know what it meant.
For a moment, there were sounds of inhalation and cries of God, making this quiet, simple, and even dilapidated building feel like a market.
But Strauss, who had the intention to create a miracle, and was indeed a miracle in everyone's eyes, could not say anything at this time.
Seriously underestimating the Claw Demon, and also overestimating himself, Strauss felt that the Holy Light in his body was like flowing water pouring into the golden statue.
If this continued, in less than a minute, the Claw Demon would not be purified, and he himself would die from exhaustion.
Only His Majesty and Her Highness Alice can save me. With this thought, Strauss hurriedly knelt on the ground, praying loudly to Alice. At this time, Alice was enjoying the Holy Light bath that William had promised.
For the little Light Fairy, being wrapped in an inexhaustible Holy Light was the most beautiful thing in the world.
But in this beautiful and enjoyable moment, not only did someone disturb her, they even wanted to steal the Holy Light from her hands?
The little Light Fairy, who had inherited William's stingy character, did not think for long and was about to cut off the connection with Strauss, but a chaotic but pure Wish Power appeared in her consciousness out of thin air.
Facing a positive force like the Wish Power, Alice did not hesitate to swallow it into her stomach. Immediately, she understood what the Wish Power was, and the difficulties that those who prayed to her were facing.
It turned out that the ascetics far away in Rome saw Strauss kneeling on the ground and praying, and soon some of them understood the reason.
Seeing that Strauss alone could not purify the Claw Demon, Siman, Hennessy, and the others who understood immediately came forward, surrounded Strauss, and knelt on the ground to pray with him.
Soon, these people heard that the object of Strauss's prayer was actually Alice and not God.
Fortunately, these ascetics were all intimidated by the Holy Light that Strauss possessed. Although some were hesitant and some were puzzled, there were still many who were concerned and confused. The ascetics who only wanted to save people followed and called out Alice's name.
By a stroke of luck, these people who followed the call instantly transferred their Wish Power to Alice.
Originally bathed in the Holy Light, Alice was in a good mood as if she was eating honey. Now that she ate a mouthful of the Wish Power, she immediately felt as if she was eating chocolate mixed with honey.
After thinking for a few seconds, Alice felt that honey and chocolate were more delicious.
In that case, she would treat it as charity or repayment. Giving out some of the honey that she could not finish didn't seem so unacceptable.
What's more, this Holy Light could kill a demon, so Alice was not stingy. Without telling William, she guided the Holy Light released by him to appear in the bodies of Strauss and the ascetics who provided her with the Wish Power.
For William and Alice, it was only a little bit of Holy Light, but for Strauss and the others who were not even Holy Light Magic Apprentices, it was a huge amount.
In an instant, all the people who shouted Alice's name burst into a dazzling and blazing light. In less than three seconds, the Claw Demon that was still struggling desperately was purified by this Holy Light until not even ashes were left. It completely dissipated in the air.
"My God."
Those who hesitated and doubted and did not call out to Alice were all stunned as they looked at more than twenty of their companions who were emitting light. Then, without hesitation, they knelt on the ground and prayed to Alice loudly.
But this kind of faith with impure purposes was not in Alice's eyes at all.
After experiencing the pure faith of Strauss and more than twenty people who were not mixed with selfish desires and had the purpose of saving people, Alice was picky. She was not even willing to look at this mottled and turbid power of faith, let alone absorb it.
She casually threw this power of faith into the surrounding trees.
But the ascetics who were used to praying all day long would not give up so easily. If there was no response, then they would keep praying. Maybe that divine person called Alice would be moved by their sincerity?
Alice, who was annoyed by the noise of these prayers and was affecting her absorption of the Holy Light, shouted, "Stop bothering Alice, you annoying people."
In an instant, whether it was the ascetics who had gained benefits or wanted to make up for it, a woman made up of light appeared in their minds. She was suspended in a mass of light that was huge to Alice.
Behind Alice was a temple that appeared to be countless times larger than her.
Except for Strauss, who had seen the temple that was only three to four meters tall and understood why Alice was so tall, the other ascetics all thought that Alice, who was only seven to eight centimeters tall, was an angel about the same height as them.
The temple that was three to four meters tall and hundreds of square meters in height was instantly filled in in their minds as a super huge temple that was more than a hundred meters tall and thousands of square meters in area.
For a moment, everyone was intoxicated and shocked. In their minds, they thought that only such a temple was worthy of the great Alice.
