Chapter 187: Their Origins
Seeing this scene, Jenny hurriedly spoke:
"You misunderstood! William didn't leave me."
She pulled her collar as she spoke, taking out a crucifix from inside.
It was still emitting a faint white light.
Then Jenny rolled up her sleeves and pant legs, revealing the holy artifacts tied to her joints.
"These were all given to me by him in advance; thanks to these, I wasn't contaminated by that black fog."
Jenny recalled the thrilling scene just now.
When the black fog wrapped around her head, it was blocked by an energy barrier.
Hearing these words, Lea was stunned on the spot, and then her cheeks flushed red.
She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"So... sorry, I saw it wrong."
Lea bowed deeply to William.
"Please forgive my rudeness."
Thinking that the priest also saved her, her face burned even more.
"I'm so stupid! This is simply an insult to the spirit of the Holy Knights!" Lea said inwardly.
Thinking of this, she stood up and handed over the cross sword in her hand.
"Please stab me with the sword as punishment for my despicable character."
Jenny covered her mouth in surprise, then looked pleadingly at William and shook her head slightly.
William looked strange.
"Are all Knights a bunch of guys with character flaws..." He recalled the Knight girl he met earlier and thought to himself.
But seeing Lea's sincere attitude in admitting her mistake, William waved his hand: "Don't mind it."
Then he observed the cave entrance again.
William had set up this Exorcism Array many times and knew its power very well.
But just now, the magic array erupted with power far exceeding the past.
If William hadn't suppressed it with all his strength, the magic array might even have tended to lose control.
This was obviously not normal!
"Just now the Mountain Man mentioned Cardinal, Pope..." William narrowed his eyes.
Cardinal should refer to Cardinal Bishop, and the Pope is the highest secular authority in the entire Church.
With William's current status, of course, he was not qualified to meet such big shots.
But he knew the Church had a profound foundation, and the strength of clergy members of this level must be difficult to measure.
"By the way, the Mountain Man also mentioned secrets about the Church." William raised an eyebrow, thinking inwardly.
Among them, the remarks about the "Lord" could no longer be measured by the sin of delusional speech; they even exceeded blasphemy.
If placed in the Church, it would definitely be a public execution.
But this also made William think of a possibility.
"Could it be that the Name was mentioned?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Only such an existence could influence the magic array.
William gulped; fortunately, he didn't say anything wrong.
Just now, when he sensed outsiders nearby, he righteously stated his attitude.
"It seems I have to be more careful with my words and deeds in the future. Unless necessary for exorcism, I should avoid calling the names of those Lords of Hell and Angels directly in private, lest I be targeted." He warned himself secretly.
Then William came to Jenny.
"Can you show me your hands?" he asked.
Jenny was stunned, then extended two fair and tender hands.
"Sure enough, there are traces of energy fluctuations." William nodded secretly.
"How did you get lost in the forest initially?"
Jenny didn't seem to expect William to ask this question. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then said:
"Father originally brought me here for a hike, but after arriving, he asked me to survive alone in the dense forest for a while..."
Aside, Lea also noticed the traces on Jenny's hands.
"Are you a descendant of a Witch?" she asked curiously.
"Some Witches possess witchcraft abilities innately, but their descendants are usually awakened by external forces, such as experiencing a life-and-death crisis."
"I... don't know much; Father never told me this."
Jenny shook her head blankly.
"But Mother did have some special abilities; I thought it was magic tricks..."
Combining Jenny's performance just now, William understood.
At the same time, his eyes lit up.
Previously in the "Annabelle" incident, the demon mentioned the Murder House.
And this time, the Mountain Man also mentioned this place.
If William remembered correctly, this should be the house in "American Horror Story" that allows dead spirits to exist permanently.
And the subsequent Son of Hell was also born there.
Right!
William thought of something and walked quickly into the cave.
The nurturing balls on the ceiling had all ruptured, and the embryos inside died because they couldn't adapt to the environment.
William sprinkled Holy Water casually, dissolving these corpses completely.
Then he came to the end of the cave.
The corpse of the Progenitor Mountain Man still lay here.
Under the washing of the Holy Light, the evil power in its flesh and blood had long dissipated, and even the skin surface was smoothed.
William came to the Mountain Man's abdomen.
It was wrapped in a thick layer of flesh wall.
"It seems the Progenitor transferred all its power here before dying, protecting the embryo inside."
Just as he was about to break it, Lea's voice sounded behind him.
"Father William..."
Her tone was a little unnatural.
"Can you give me the Mountain Man's Mother Nest? I can buy it with money!"
William raised an eyebrow: "You know this thing?"
Lea nodded.
"This is the evil nest nurturing the Son of the Demon; it is very important to our Knight Order, so..."
Thinking of the previous misunderstanding, she found it hard to speak.
William rubbed his chin.
He didn't necessarily want this nest, but he was indeed curious about the use of this thing, so he asked the question in his heart.
Lea seemed to have made a great determination.
"According to the Prophet's revelation, the nest is one of the materials for making the Ancient Holy Sword, which is an important holy relic against evil on Judgment Day..."
The Knight Order originated from the Knights of the Round Table thousands of years ago; they had repelled the invasion of Hell along the Mediterranean coast.
But in later history, rebellion appeared within the Knight Order, and this force gradually declined.
Nowadays, people who can still inherit the Knight's Spirit can be counted on one's fingers.
However, the Knight Order is still an important participant in fighting against evil spirits and demons.
"Although the Knight's Spirit floats all over the world, most of it has been polluted."
"Demons' traps, Old Gods' crazy thoughts, Holy Spirits' unwilling obsessions..."
Lea looked a little depressed.
"Every Knight who chooses this path faces such torture at all times."
"When I become a Templar Knight one day, I will also..."
"So that's how it is." William nodded. "Take the nest; consider it owing me a favor."
Lea raised her head in disbelief: "Really?"
William stepped aside.
Since the other party also aimed to purify evil, he didn't mind doing a favor.
Firstly, he was not particularly short of money now.
Secondly, favors are much harder to repay than money.
"Father William, your noble character makes me ashamed." Lea looked solemn and bowed deeply.
"Noble character..." He touched his nose, feeling it wasn't a compliment.
After that, Lea took out some badges with runes written on them and placed them near the Progenitor Mountain Man.
This seemed to be some kind of summoning ritual; William could feel the active energy within the range.
After doing this, Lea smeared some liquid on the cross long sword, then carefully cut open the Mountain Man's abdomen. An embryo was soon taken out, but there was no life breath on it.
Lea cut open its chest, then took out a golden heart from inside.
"Please accept this."
Lea handed the heart to William.
