Chapter 127: Silas's Invitation
Juan did not insist, just mentioned it in passing.
Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, the two prepared to leave here.
"By the way."
Hans just turned around and remembered one more thing.
"That nun Heidi has been a bit too enthusiastic lately."
Juan's face returned to coldness: "Don't worry, she is just a girl obsessed with power. I will make her sacrifice herself for the True Lord when necessary."
Hans nodded upon hearing this.
At the entrance of the asylum.
"These children are still young; I hope you can have more patience and not let them get hurt."
Hans spoke sincerely, then made a cross sign on his chest.
"The Lord has been watching your dedication, and you will receive blessings."
Heidi's eyes lit up; she understood the Archbishop's words.
After getting in the car, Hans lowered the window again.
"Sister Heidi, please tell the children that I will definitely come to watch their performance."
After saying that, he waved his hand again.
The truck then left the asylum.
Dei Commercial Street, House of Repose.
Judy stood on tiptoes, wiping a wooden cabinet with a white cloth.
After cleaning a compartment, she put the holy artifact aside back in.
"Phew..."
She wiped her face, looked at the rows of cabinets yet to be cleaned, and shook her head helplessly.
A few days ago, after helping Aunt Mia complete the exorcism, her father and mother went to Dei Church together.
Not long after the two returned, they took the exorcism equipment and prepared to travel far.
Before leaving, they entrusted her to Father William.
Her mother also secretly instructed her: "Mr. Priest is very powerful; you should learn more from him."
At first, Judy was very excited; she had long wanted to "cultivate" with William.
But unexpectedly, after arriving at the shop, she started doing "cleaning" work.
Regarding this, William seriously warned her: "True masters all start as apprentices."
Judy was half-believing and half-doubting, but since she was already here, she couldn't just stay idle.
However, every morning, she would still be woken up from bed by Father William to complete the day's coursework.
Judy hadn't fully adapted to this yet.
Besides not being able to sleep in, washing her eyes also gave her some "pressure."
In the past at home, her mother would also ask her to wash her eyes.
But usually, only a few drops of Holy Water would be gently dripped onto her eyes.
But here with Father William, he actually brought a whole basin directly!
"Let the eyes fully contact the Holy Water..."
Father William had reminded her like this many times.
Judy had been trying these days, but she could only last for a short while each time.
Although the process was somewhat painful, the harvest was rich.
For example, Judy found that she could see "clearer."
In the past, she could only see some dead spirits and the outlines of some evil spirits.
But recently she could even detect some floating auras.
According to Father William, that was the unique "evil aura" on demons, and he instructed her to stay away when encountering it.
Of course, the aura Judy saw had already been purified by William.
Speaking of which, this aura seemed to be seen frequently recently.
For this reason, Father William had been highly vigilant for a long time, arranging for her to hide dozens of holy artifacts around the shop, even more than the number sold in the shop itself.
This made Judy puzzled for a time.
And Father William had locked himself in the shop's break room during this time, wondering what he was researching.
Judy smelled a herbal scent drifting out from inside many times.
She asked curiously but was told "Minors are forbidden to enter."
This made Judy depressed for quite a while.
Judy was wiping the last wooden cabinet when she suddenly heard the shop door pushed open behind her.
"Father William, I came to pick up the Holy Oil at the agreed time."
Bent saw a little girl as soon as he entered.
He was stunned, then stated his purpose again.
Seeing an outsider, Judy was a little nervous.
After hearing the customer's words, she nodded and ran to the door of the break room.
"William! Someone is here, come out quickly." She knocked on the door.
"No bargaining; buy it or leave it." William's voice came from inside.
Bent heard this clearly and guessed the reason immediately.
Judy looked a little embarrassed; many people had been dissuaded by the price these days.
Each time it was she who sent those angry customers away.
"It's the customer who agreed to pick up the goods!" Judy knocked on the door again.
Break Room.
William had just packaged a bottle of refined Holy Oil.
Hearing Judy's words, he raised an eyebrow.
"Should be that kid from before; he came just in time."
The bottle in his hand was exactly the Holy Oil commissioned by Bent.
He had been busy with this matter these days.
Manufacturing one-year quality Holy Oil was not difficult, but "two-week quality" indeed took some effort.
As long as he was not careful, the quality of the Holy Oil would increase.
This also made William "waste" a lot of materials.
Fortunately, after many practices, he could already control the heat well.
According to observations during this period, students who came to Dei Commercial Street to buy holy artifacts did not pursue the highest possible quality as William imagined.
Most people were instead keen on holy artifacts made just a few days ago.
This was also the reason for the bleak business of the House of Repose—many customers entered the shop and were shocked by the high-end quality of the holy artifacts, but it stopped there.
Therefore, William was also preparing to adjust his sales strategy and start pushing some goods that met market demand.
"This is the Holy Oil you wanted."
Bent wiped his hands on his clothes and took it solemnly.
"It's actually still warm; is this some new preservation method?" He thought to himself.
This time Bent paid the money readily.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the shop owner looking enthusiastic.
"Student, in order to better serve the academy students, I want to learn about your experience using Holy Oil..."
Hearing the shop owner's words, Bent understood what the other party meant.
It was the first time he encountered such a thing. In the past when buying holy artifacts, the clerks in other shops were very silent.
"Of course, last time we were learning Holy Oil application..."
The Holy Oil in this shop was unusual and would be known by others in the academy sooner or later.
Bent was already mentally prepared for this, and even planned to introduce his friend Zar to come these two days.
During the conversation, he told the shop owner about what happened in the classroom that day.
"Silas..." William recited the name silently.
From Bent's description, this Silas was likely the person hiding outside the shop that day.
"Humiliated in public, thus bearing a grudge... this is a classic story."
Looking at it this way, the other party's target should not be William.
However, William still planned to investigate Silas to ensure there were no other forces hidden behind the other party.
At this time, the shop door was pushed open again.
Two young men dressed as priests walked in.
"Hey, Bent, it really is you."
Silas greeted enthusiastically.
"Just now outside, I was discussing with Zar that this person's back looked really like you!"
Seeing the face of the visitor, Bent was obviously surprised.
He didn't expect his friend Zar to be with this guy.
At this time, Zar, walking behind, showed a "helpless" look, indicating that this was not his wish.
"Why are you together?"
Bent decided to ask Silas directly.
"Oh, it's like this. This time I received a commission rated as 'Dangerous', but the teachers seem to be busy..."
Silas smiled.
"So I plan to invite you and Zar to join me."
After speaking, he looked around the shop curiously.
"Of course, replenish some exorcism tools by the way."
