In order to make the first batch of Paladins loyal to him, William asked Alice to summon the unicorns. Then, he teleported Alice to the magic planet.
Under Sunday's guidance, they arrived at the habitat of a group of pegasi.
With Alice, a Light Elf who was very close to magical beasts, and William once again released a beam of holy light energy, it did not take much effort and persuasion to subdue this group of hundreds of pegasi.
He picked twenty of the most handsome pure white pegasi and brought them back to Alice's Elven Forest.
With a wave of his hand, William activated the concealment magic array that he had prepared for Alice. Then, he teleported all the thunderbirds and house fairies over. Finally, he also teleported the phoenix, Danni Fox, and Snugglehead, the Flaming Dragon over.
Alice was attracted by these magical creatures that suddenly came to her territory. She dodged left and right and did not care about the holy light inspection at all.
William looked at the sky. The sun was already setting in the west, so he decided to postpone the matter to tomorrow morning.
Sunday was the commander, and the house fairies with the highest intelligence, such as Bell, were the executors. They commanded the various magical beasts and began the rehearsal.
Early the next morning, William returned to the Elven Forest and watched the rehearsal last night. He felt that it had worked out well, so he opened the portal that connected to the Roman Ascetic Squad's base.
When Strauss and the others who were already waiting at the base saw the portal appear, the twelve preparatory knights in sackcloth robes all looked solemnly and silently at Strauss, Siman, and Hennessy who were standing at the front.
The dozens of ascetics around them, either because they had not made enough contributions or had not been blessed by the holy light, were all silent. They looked at the fifteen people in the square with envy in their hearts.
Strauss looked back at the two rows of seven people in each row. He was also excited as he took the lead and went through the portal.
As soon as they went through the portal, Strauss and the other fourteen ascetics looked around and found themselves in a dense forest.
Although they knew that it was William who had brought them here, the 12 ascetics were still vigilant as they observed their surroundings.
They did not have to wait for long before they heard the sound of hooves that seemed to be deliberately made.
"Holy Light above."
When they saw Jenmar, Dulan, and the other three unicorns that were bigger than pure-blooded horses, their bodies were pure white, and they had a single golden horn on their heads, everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Strauss, who had been here once and received Alice's blessing, was shocked speechless by the spectacle of four unicorns appearing at the same time.
Legend had it that only the purest of people could see these magical beasts. Now, they were walking towards them step by step. Moreover, there were four of them.
The eldest, Jenma Dulan, walked up to Strauss first.
"Good day, Sir Strauss. I'm Jenma Duran, the leader of Princess Alice's unicorns. Welcome to Princess Alice's Elven Forest. Please follow me, Princess Alice is waiting for you."
"Yes, yes, yes, Sir Dolan."
Strauss was so frightened by Jenma Dulan that he started stuttering. His head was dizzy as he followed the unicorns and walked towards the concealment magic circle a hundred meters away.
As for the people behind him, their situation wasn't much better than Strauss'.
Seeing the unicorns with their own eyes and hearing that they could speak, everyone began to believe what Strauss had said about Light Fairy Alice being the embodiment of the Holy Light. They could not help but feel respect and reverence in their hearts.
They all obediently lowered their heads and did not dare to show any disrespect. They followed behind the person in front of them and walked into the concealment magic circle step by step.
When they passed through the magic circle, these hardworking cultivators were still shocked by the sudden change of scenery before they could be transformed by the magic circle.
They saw a dozen house fairies wearing gorgeous magic robes, riding on pegasi, galloping towards them out of thin air.
"Good day, Sir Strauss. I'm Magic Fairy Bell. Master asked me to lead the way for you."
"Thank, thank you, Lady Fairy." Strauss had just finished his greetings when he saw Bell holding a small magic staff and pointing it at an empty pegasus.
That pegasus then walked out of the group and came to Strauss's side.
Strauss, who had already guessed what it was, held back his surprise. When he heard Bell clearly say that it was for him to ride, he excitedly got on the legendary pegasus.
As for the bitter cultivators behind him, they all followed behind him, filled with pride and excitement.
After walking for a few hundred meters and turning around a dense tree, everyone was once again stared at by 76 thunderbirds perched on the tree. They had reverted to their thunderbird forms, and their hearts trembled.
What made them even more fearful was that a red light flashed in the middle of these thunderbirds. The phoenix Dany Fox revealed her true form, transforming into a huge fiery red phoenix that was seven to eight meters long.
With a flap of her wings, she arrived above everyone's heads. "My name is Dany Fox. Welcome, humans."
Strauss, who already understood that this was a courtesy and also a shock, hurriedly got off his horse and bowed his head deeply. He said respectfully, "Thank you, Lady Fox. We are deeply honored to be able to meet you."
"Aooo ~ ~ ~"
A dragon's roar rang out from within the concealment magic formation, causing the hardworking cultivators to feel dizzy. Even the pegasus and thunderbirds were in a commotion.
A mini, cute mini dragon flew into the sky and instantly transformed into a 50-meter-long Snugglehead covered in flames, revealing a ferocious dragon head, and roared.
"I am the Flaming Dragon, the ruler of the flames, Snuggar. Humans, anyone who disrespects Her Highness Alice will be burned by the flames and fall to hell forever."
At this moment, Strauss and the others could no longer stand, and their legs trembled as they knelt down.
Strauss, who was sweating from fear, stammered as he swore, "The Paladin Order will always be loyal to Her Highness Alice and His Highness William Devonshire."
When the hardworking cultivators heard Strauss's words, they quickly followed suit and swore an oath.
Snuggar let out an earth-shattering snort and was directly teleported back to the magic planet by William. He was very dissatisfied that he had only said such a line and went into the volcano.
However, Snuggar's 50-meter-long body, which had suddenly disappeared after a dozen seconds, was even more shocking in the eyes of Strauss and the other hardworking cultivators.
In an instant, a deep sense of helplessness took root in the hearts of these hardworking cultivators.
As for Strauss, who had been here once, his heart was even more agitated.
The stronger the forces that belonged to William, wouldn't the future be better for his subordinates who belonged to the same faction?
After Snuggar left, the group set off again.
After another few hundred meters or so, they finally arrived outside Alice's shrine.
Alice, who was waiting for them in the three-meter-tall shrine, flashed and appeared on the unicorn Elise.
Elise quickly shrank and carried Alice to Strauss, floating in the air.
When Strauss saw Alice, a smile immediately appeared on his fearful face. He bowed his head again and said, "Praise you, the embodiment of the Holy Light, Your Highness Alice."
"Hello, Strauss, we meet again." Alice smiled and looked at the other fourteen hardworking cultivators. "Are you all ready? Once the Holy Light Detection begins, those who harbor evil intentions will be purified by the Holy Light along with their souls. "
"Yes, Your Highness Alice." A chorus of answers came from the hardworking cultivators' mouths.
At this moment, even if some of them were a little hesitant, after witnessing everything that they had seen along the way, everyone was convinced that Alice was the embodiment of the Holy Light.
Otherwise, how could all these righteous magical beasts be gathered around Alice?
As for why Alice was only the size of a palm, these hardworking cultivators who had been shocked and frightened along the way didn't care at all.
Instead, they thought to themselves, Strauss said that Alice was only born a few days ago, but in such a short time, Alice had gathered so many legendary magical beasts around her.
Unicorns, pegasi, thunderbirds, phoenixes, and even dragons. If she wasn't destined, how could she be followed by so many magical beasts?
Only Strauss, who had been here once and understood the relationship between Alice and William, secretly guessed that these magical beasts might be related to William.
But no matter how much he respected William, he didn't dare to think that these magical beasts were all William's pets.
"Very well, then I'm going to start." Alice put on a straight face and clasped her hands together. When she opened them again, a gentle storm formed by the Holy Light instantly engulfed everyone and magical beasts.
William, who was hiding at the side, was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that this little thing's pure magical power was already around a level of his.
But in the eyes of people like Strauss, William's level of power was about the same as William's, who always liked to hide his strength.
Once the Holy Light entered their bodies, the fifteen hardworking cultivators immediately felt their strength increasing. After their hearts were interrogated by the Holy Light, their attitude towards Alice easily changed from reverence to fanaticism.
This was a true show of divinity in front of people, and it was even more so in front of people who had been painstakingly searching for extraordinary power. It would be strange if these people didn't treat Alice as an object of worship and faith.
A minute later, when everyone opened their eyes, a Holy Light rune flashed in their eyes.
From this moment onwards, these people were considered to be true light cultivators. "All power is given to you, respected Princess Alice. The Knights of Holy Light will forever be the sharp sword in your hand to drive away evil."
Alice, who had released a large amount of Holy Light, felt her heart ache. Just as she pursed her lips, she felt fifteen pure streams of faith pouring into her body out of thin air.
Not only did she replenish the Holy Light energy she had lost in an instant, but it also gave her a vague idea of how to use the power of faith. It also made her understand that the more faith she had, the faster her power would increase.
This time, Alice, who was pursing her lips, immediately smiled. She rode on Elise's body and shouted happily to Bell.
"Bell, Bell." Alice instantly appeared in front of Bell. "They are all my favored ones. Hurry up and prepare the gifts, those armors and weapons, I want to reward them."
"Rings, you have to give out the Holy Light rings first, Princess Alice," Bell reminded in a low voice, then nodded to her companions behind her.
Then, someone chanted the incantation of Phantom Shift and disappeared.
Alice, who was reminded, facepalmed and nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right, I have to give you the Holy Light rings first."
She left with the unicorn Elise in a flash, then appeared out of thin air in a few seconds.
After returning, a series of Holy Light rings appeared around her. "Strauss, help me distribute them to my favored ones."
"Yes, Your Highness." Strauss quickly stood up, so excited that his hands were trembling as he received the twelve rings.
With the glory of personally bestowing the ring to William today, these Holy Knights would definitely treat him with more respect in the future. Moreover, Alice had asked him to do all this, which showed that he was not only valued by William, but also by Alice.
In addition, this was his second time receiving the Holy Light blessing. Not only did his power increase steadily, his old body became more energetic after being baptized by the Holy Light again.
As for his assistants Siman and Hennessy, they had already received the rings long ago, so there was no need to worry about them.
A whole set of ceremonies that used to look solemn and dignified, transformed from the Holy See's ceremonies, immediately became holy with the blessing of the Holy Light.
Every time a newly promoted Holy Knight received the ring that represented their identity, Alice could feel a surge of faith surging into her body.
This made her, who was originally indifferent, immediately change her attitude. She smiled and repeated the words of encouragement that Sunday had given her over and over again.
There was even a Holy Knight who provided her with twice as much power of faith as the others, and he was blessed by the Holy Light again. "Alice likes you because your faith is the purest and the most abundant. Tell me, Knight, what's your name?"
"Ro- Roland Deshan, Your Highness, my name is Roland Deshan."
After saying his name, Roland explained to Strauss and the others, "It's not that I'm the most outstanding, Your Highness, but I personally saw His Majesty Devonshire drive the Demon King Mephisto back to hell."
Hearing this, all the ascetics instantly understood that Roland, who had seen the Demon King and William's great power with his own eyes, was more devout to the Holy Light and Alice.
"Is that so? Since you and William …" Before she could say the word 'master', Alice remembered what William had told her and quickly changed her words. "Since you and William have fought together, I should reward you even more."
Alice rode the mini unicorn Elise and circled around Roland a few times. When she saw the two wheels that were exposed because Roland was kneeling on the ground, Alice smiled and released two rays of Holy Light, which merged into Roland's wheels.
After a short while, the two simple and dull wheels quickly turned silver and sparkled.
The runes on the guns also began to flicker and operate automatically because of the addition of the light energy.
Looking at the series of changes happening to the two wheels, although Roland didn't dare to take them out to check in front of Alice, just by looking at their appearance, he knew that these two ancestral weapons had truly become magical weapons at this moment.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness. May the power of the Holy Light always be with you."
