Chapter 188: Spiritual Awakening
"This is?"
William did not take it.
"The heart of the Son of the Demon." Lea explained.
"It contains immense original evil power inside; many people should want it. I only want the nest; this is your loot."
William nodded.
He originally wanted to purify this thing directly.
But since the other party said so, he took out a wooden jar and put the heart inside, then made careful arrangements at the seal.
Lea quickly peeled off the nest.
After this, the two ladies, led by William, cleaned up the vicinity again.
Then the three bid farewell and left.
"Father William, if you need me, you can send someone to this address." Lea handed a note.
William reached out and took it.
After the female Knight left, he also returned to Green Town with Jenny.
Mountain Side Stove Restaurant.
Today was exactly the fifth day agreed upon; Jack had been waiting here for a long time.
William stood aside, witnessing the scene of the father and daughter reuniting.
Of course, this time he specifically requested to meet outside the restaurant.
Later, Jack also told the truth.
Jenny was indeed a descendant of a Witch. Her mother was a member of the Rosicrucian Order but was persecuted for violating the precepts.
This organization was established by a group of witches and warlocks; it has existed for a long time in history, and they were even present during the Battle of the Holy Land.
To protect Jenny, Jack had been living incognito all these years.
This time it was also to awaken Jenny's ability that he had to take the risk.
Fortunately, the latter indeed stimulated the special ability in her body.
"What's the plan next?" William asked.
Now that the two had exposed their whereabouts, according to the classic development of American dramas, they would most likely be discovered by the Rosicrucian Order.
Jack dies to protect Jenny, the latter turns dark for revenge; in a revenge event, she might ask William for help.
Finally, Jenny succeeds in revenge and dies peacefully in William's arms.
This development was indeed a bit cliché, so William "thoughtfully" reminded the two.
Unexpectedly, Jack already had a place to go.
"I plan to take Jenny to Louisiana. There is a Witch School in New Orleans; her mother was friends with a witch there..."
William raised an eyebrow; that place was not a good place.
Witches repeatedly reborn, aliens, demons...
That group of witches really knew how to make trouble.
Not to mention there were plague zones.
William could only warn Jenny to be careful of "Bitches" and gave her a crucifix.
The girl's cheeks were a little red; after putting away the holy artifact, she nodded seriously.
After staring at Jack signing the "Commission Completion Confirmation," William bid farewell to the father and daughter.
Dei Church.
William went back to the House of Rest first and met Judy here.
Ed recovered well during this period, and William was out on field duty, so she took the initiative to help in the shop.
Without William's presence, the shop's business hoped to improve a lot.
Sure enough, opening a shop still requires a "Normal" shopkeeper.
Knowing that William was going back to the church, Judy hopped out from the cashier.
"Today is 'Awakening Day'; there should be many people in the church. Originally I wanted to participate, but Mom said to let me wait one more year."
William rubbed his chin.
What Judy said should be "Spiritual Awakening."
For many ordinary clergy members, this ceremony determined whether they could enter the supernatural realm.
But William rarely went out before, plus the ceremony was only held in the Exorcism Seminary, so he hadn't seen the details yet.
"Since I encountered it, I'll go take a look." He thought to himself.
After sealing the "Demon Heart," William went to the church.
Seminary, Ceremony Square.
When William arrived, many clergy members had gathered here.
There were young people, as well as old priests with white hair.
Everyone looked nervous, holding Bibles and holy artifacts respectively and praying constantly.
A curtain was temporarily set up on the square, exclusively for female clergy members to rest inside.
In public places, especially where so many people gathered, male and female clergy members still had to be separated.
"Professor William?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind.
William turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, and a young clergy member beside him. The other party was wearing a black robe with a shawl, and there was a silver cross on the cuff.
"Richie Kaye, an incumbent lecturer at the seminary." Richie introduced himself.
"This is Roland Hall, the child of my friend. He will participate in the Spiritual Awakening later, so I specially brought him here to observe."
The young man bowed slightly.
"May the Lord protect you." William crossed himself in response.
After the pleasantries, Richie took the initiative to speak:
"I heard from Flora that you submitted Hans's evidence of crime to Archbishop Borja, which avoided the persecution of students."
"Bent and the others also completed the commission with your help. As a member of the seminary, I sincerely thank you."
He bowed, quite solemnly.
William hurriedly helped the other party up.
Richie's eyes were full of curiosity.
He had heard of this priest long ago; he didn't expect the other party to be so young. His own students were far inferior.
"You are here to submit the commission, right."
Richie smiled.
"Originally the academy arranged for me to be your guide, but later I heard you accepted a commission and left."
William nodded: "Luck was good this time; achieved the goal."
"People from the commission room are all out to help; there should be no one there if you go now."
"It's okay; I just happen to take a look at this ceremony."
"Then can I accompany you? Just allows me to fulfill the responsibility of a guide." Richie said with a smile.
"That would be my honor."
Accompanied by Richie, William easily entered the formal venue.
"This is the place for Spiritual Awakening. Clergy members will feel the 'Unknowable Space' here and enter it with consciousness."
Richie pointed to a small cubicle.
This place was transformed from a confessional, surrounded by complex and rigorous ritual holy artifacts, leaving only one door as an entrance and exit.
Besides, there were no obstructions on both sides of the cubicle, where several elderly clergy members sat.
According to William's observation, these people were very strong.
"Setting up so rigorously." He was surprised.
Richie shook his head upon hearing this:
"No choice; obtaining the Holy Brand is extremely dangerous. With a little carelessness, these participants will be polluted by evil."
"If it's just exploding and dying, it's fine, but once invaded by an Evil Brand, this might bring danger to the entire Church."
At this time, Roland asked: "Teacher Richie, can you tell me about the Brand now?"
"Of course."
Richie smiled slightly.
"Genesis once recorded that the Lord created the world in six days."
"But evil spirits and demons also appeared in the world; they seduced humans, making the latter gradually degenerate."
"To purify the evil in the world, the Lord bestowed the Exorcism Ritual, but ordinary priests without Holy Power found it difficult to drive this power."
"Therefore, the Lord left marks in the Unknowable Space."
"Priests go there with consciousness and carve the Holy Brand on their bodies; in this way, they can feel the Holy Power from Heaven."
"Since then, humans have touched the supernatural realm."
