Liz said helplessly upon hearing Roy, "How many times have you asked this question?"

"It's been 11 times, 12 including this one," the Crow Feather Prophet replied with his eyes closed.

Liz thanked the Crowman speechlessly before turning to Roy.

"If you're so curious, why don't you ask him yourself? I think William is quite easy to talk to."

Upon hearing the name William, Roy's heart trembled. Then, she bit her lower lip and whispered, "I'm just curious..."

"Would you have asked twelve times if you weren't curious?"

Roy didn't answer immediately, as if she was considering how to explain herself.

The emotion that drove her to repeatedly ask this question wasn't curiosity.

But fear...

She was a nun who had been stripped from a floating corpse in the sewers and had managed to infiltrate the Holy Spirits Church as a result.

And her respect for the Eight Holy Spirits placed on the shrine wasn't even comparable to her respect for the floating corpse.

She had never believed in the doctrines of the Holy Spirits Church.

Her mother was a pious believer in the Holy Spirits Church, but she was still rejected by the Love Church for not having the money to donate; she eventually succumbed to her illness. From then on, Roy firmly believed that there were no Holy Spirits in this world.

If the Holy Spirits were as merciful as the Church advertised, why was there so much tragedy in the world?

Anyone who had lived in a slum should know that there were no Holy Spirits in this world.

Therefore, every time she heard the priest ask them to kneel and pray to the Holy Spirits on the podium and say that the Holy Spirits would hear them as long as they prayed, she would curse Them with the most colorful of profanities she had learned growing up in the slums to prove that the so-called Holy Spirits were bullsh*t.

As only the Eighth Holy Spirit carried a specific name, she scolded it especially often.

Just as her colleagues had turned persistent prayers into a habit, she had made scolding William Kane and Terra Riel in her heart daily a habit.

Now that the real William Kane had appeared in front of her, there was no reason for her not to be terrified.

After all, she was very likely the person who cursed at the shrine the most in the world.

Previously, on the way, when the man kept asking her about the Sealing Temple, she was sweating profusely and trembling in fear. She was afraid that the other party would dig up her past and make a judgment.

After some consideration, Roy finally asked such a question, "I just want to hear your opinion on whether he's the Eighth Holy Spirit or not?"

With that said, everyone present stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Roy. This made her heart skip a beat.

A few seconds later, the Crow Feather Prophet spoke. His pupils had already returned to normal human pupils.

"He's my lord, so regardless of whether he's the Eighth Holy Spirit or not, it doesn't affect the Crows' faith in him," the Crowman replied.

Nizemar, who had finished reciting the Eighth Holy Spirit's prayer in the Gospel of Kane's New Testament, replied simply,

"He said that he's not the Eighth Holy Spirit, so he currently isn't."
