"I... I certainly believe it."
Adams had figured it out; since there were miracles, the presence of vampires didn't seem too out of place.
Raphael asked, "Since you believe, are you willing to cooperate with us to eliminate this demon?"
"This..."
Noticing the hesitation in Adams' eyes, a cold glint flashed in Raphael's eyes, "This greedy human."
Although Adams spoke of Alice so disparagingly in front of Raphael, in reality, he was just trying to gain sympathy, hoping for a quick recovery.
Alice, this naive girl, in Adams' eyes, was already a tempting prey.
If he didn't take a bite, how could he justify all the suffering he endured?
"As long as I subtly hint to Alice that it was her family tornting , she will surely feel guilty. Then I will seize the opportunity, and when..."
Adams' mind whirled rapidly, thinking about how to handle this matter so that he could both win the beauty and make her family accept it.
As for whether Alice was a vampire, he was a thousand tis unconvinced.
"Such a beautiful girl, how could she possibly be an evil vampire."
Thinking of this, Adams stamred, "Your Excellency of the Divine Palace, what if she's not?"
Noticing the flicker in Adams' eyes, Raphael understood imdiately the little sche he was plotting in his heart.
"Truly ignorant of danger. If it weren't for deliberately tornting, you'd probably have been fish food long ago."
Regarding the greedy and vile Adams, Raphael was tempted to purify him on the spot, but the upcoming plan required his involvent.
Raphael smiled, "If she isn't, that would be for the best. The Holy Lord doesn't concern himself with the private matters of believers."
"The Holy Lord is wise; long live the Holy Lord."
Adams cheered inside. After regaining his sight, he discovered that Raphael and the armored man beside him possessed extraordinary power.
Adams was really worried that Raphael would indiscriminately eliminate Alice.
"So you need to call her out alone so that we can ascertain her identity?"
"Alone? I'm afraid that won't be so easy."
Raphael faintly threatened, "If her bodyguards are present..."
Upon hearing the word bodyguard, Adams felt a faint pain in his limbs, recalling the excruciating pain of bone fractures vividly.
"I know what to do now."
Adams then asked, "When will it start?"
"How about tomorrow?"
"Isn't that a bit too soon?"
Such a hasty tiline made Adams uneasy about weighing the pros and cons, and he hadn't yet devised a thorough plan.
Raphael smiled, "Actually, this is for your own good."
Adams asked in confusion, "For my own good?"
"If Alice isn't a vampire, it ans one less demon in the world, naturally relieving my Lord, allowing my Lord to send down the Holy Light again."
After hearing Raphael's words, Adams was stunned, and his eyes turned odd.
The aning in the words was apparent.
If he cooperated obediently, they could help heal his limbs.
If he didn't cooperate, then he could wait for the miracle slowly.
"Consider it."
After speaking, Raphael left, sowhat awkwardly.
Such blunt words might fool believers, but it was a bit difficult to deceive Adams.
However, Raphael was not worried that Adams wouldn't take the bait.
This selfish and self-serving person only cared for himself.
Even if told the truth directly, he would betray Alice completely.
It's just that in doing so, Raphael, as the Divine Palace of the Sanctuary of Light, would lose so face.
Coming to the rear courtyard of the cathedral, looking at the elder in the white robe with five golden lines drawn on it, Raphael respectfully said, "Archbishop Hilde, I have already spoken to Adams."
"Good. Proceed according to the plan."
As the words fell, Hilde suddenly opened his eyes, emitting a dazzling white light.
When the light dissipated, Hilde's eyeballs were pure white, without a trace of impurity.
Witnessing this, Raphael was startled; he knew it was due to the high concentration of Holy Power causing the mutation in the eyeballs.
Raphael hadn't expected the Pope to take this matter even more seriously than he imagined.
They sent the white-clad archbishop, second only to the Pope, who was also a Blessed One like Hilde.
"With Master Hilde at the helm, this plan is sure to be foolproof."
"Do you have any other matters?"
"No more."
"Withdraw."
Despite the cold tone of Hilde, Raphael didn't mind.
Under the tempering of Holy Power, these Blessed Ones not only had bodies fortified beyond normal humans but also lacked human emotions.
Apart from retaining a fervent faith in the Holy Lord, they no longer had the emotions of regular people.
After Raphael took his leave, Stuart arrived,
"Are you ready?"
"Including myself, five Starshine Knight Commanders are in position, along with two Knight Squads."
"Very good."
Raphael nodded.
The Sanctuary of Light had two forces,
One comprising the Divine Palace, bishops, and other Light Mages, and the other being the Knights of Light.
The Templar Knights were akin to the military force of the Sanctuary of Light. Their realms were also divided according to military ranks.
Ranging from Apprentice Knight, Knight, Knight Captain, Knight Commander, to Knight Leader.
Whether Light Mages or Knights of Light, all cultivated the Power of Prayers, but with different focuses.
Blessed Ones possessing Holy Power would often beco bishop-level Light Mages, though exceptions existed.
Blessed Ones like Stuart, upon becoming knights, would bear the title Starshine.
Five Starshine Knights, thirty knights in total, and a profound archbishop,
With this strength, even if a Blood Clan Prince himself ca, Raphael considered himself unfazed.
"If capturing Alice grants this rit, it won't take long before I can beco the Great God Palace."
Thinking of this, Raphael was filled with excitent.
Becoming the Great God Palace ant being closer to hearing the gospel of the Holy Lord and more access to the Power of Prayers.
...
"Convey my apologies to your father, and we'll discuss the farewell party next ti."
Thinking of Andrew's endless complaints, Ning Fan could only smile wryly.
Shortly after ending the call with William, Andrew found Ning Fan through Alice and complained that the lad left too hastily.
He at least wanted to wait for him, to hold a grand farewell party for Ning Fan.
Andrews' good intentions overwheld Ning Fan, who politely declined nurous tis.
Fortunately, Andrew didn't continue to fuss, ntioning that Murphy and others were on their way and would arrive the day after tomorrow.
Were it not for this news, Ning Fan might have left feeling uneasy.
"Stay here obediently, don't run around."
On the day of departure, Ning Fan was still reminding them of this matter.
