Xu Yi stood in the center of the War God Repository, his face unable to hide the disappointnt.
He had just taken a tour around the War God Repository. The collection was indeed varied, and each Exorcism Artifact was genuinely exceptional. Even the Dagger of Rest could hardly make the cut here.
But after witnessing the power of the artifacts of Saint O'Hagan, he felt sowhat uninterested.
He could choose two artifacts from the War God Repository, one of which was the pre-determined Magic-Prohibiting Box, but he was having trouble deciding on the second one.
"Are these all of the artifacts in the War God Repository?" Xu Yi turned to ask the accompanying governnt official.
A flash of embarrassnt crossed the official's face before he hesitated for a mont and then revealed the truth, "Indeed, there are so artifacts, but those can only be used when facing life and death crises."
Your journey continues on empire
Xu Yi understood imdiately; there were indeed Exorcism Holy Relics in the War God Repository, but they were not within the selection range.
He could understand their reasons; after all, how could they carelessly hand over such precious Exorcism Holy Relics, and two of them at that?
Despite understanding, he was still sowhat reluctant to give up.
"Isn't everything in the War God Repository up for selection?"
"Yes, everything in the Repository is available for selection." The official emphasized the word "in" particularly.
Xu Yi's face fell.
This was like going to a clothing store where the entrance had a large sign that read, "Starting at 9.9 yuan each." One could ignore everything before, but the soul of the entire sign was in the word "starting."
"Mr. Xu Yi, would you like to look again? Maybe you'll find sothing to your liking?"
The accompanying governnt official grew even more awkward.
He had thought he picked up a great opportunity to forge a good relationship with the "Great Exorcist," but instead, he had found himself in a pit waiting for him. It was no wonder nobody else wanted to co.
"Let's look once more," Xu Yi composed himself.
He had set his expectations too high; a calm consideration would remind him it was impossible to gain an Exorcism Holy Relic. Such treasures were incredibly rare even within the church.
"Mr. Xu Yi, are you looking for an Exorcism Holy Relic? I rember there is one here as well," the official suddenly had an idea.
Xu Yi had sobered up and, hearing ntion of an Exorcism Holy Relic, showed no excitent on his face; however, he did not refuse, "Let's go take a look."
In the corner of the warehouse, they finally discovered the "dusty" Exorcism Holy Relic.
It was a long sword with a slender blade, 76 cm in length. The red and white handle and scabbard matched the blade, which was engraved with the inscription: Inferno Continuation, Slay All Evil Spirits!
Xu Yi felt a stir at his waist; Annabelle sent him a longing emotion once again.
The last ti in the Warrens' Collection Room, in the face of the Ghost Samurai Armor, the sa situation had occurred.
After obtaining the power of the Evil God, his vision had beco incomparable to his past self.
He could keenly perceive the uniqueness of the long sword; it was shrouded with a faint Divinity.
The Ghost Samurai Armor had also contained Divinity, but it was very faint, faint enough that only Annabelle, being a spirit, could sense it.
"Divinity" is the essence of an Exorcism Holy Relic; without it, the item would probably be inferior even to Common exorcism practices.
"Is this a katana? What's its na?" Xu Yi casually asked.
The sword was indeed an Exorcism Holy Relic, but its Divinity was on the verge of dissipation; it likely wouldn't last through even one battle.
However, he could also understand that if it were a fully intact Exorcism Holy Relic, it would not be here.
"It seems to be called 'Red Lotus'."
When the governnt official recited the na of the sword, he felt it was particularly awkward to pronounce, after all, it was ultimately a Japanese sword.
"Do you often have dealings with Japan?"
Xu Yi made small talk as he picked up the Red Lotus.
Drawing the sword from its sheath, the blade reflected the colors of a fiery sunset, no wonder it was nad "Red Lotus."
The long sword before him seed less like an Exorcism Holy Relic and more like a piece of art.
"Quite a few, indeed. This Exorcism Holy Relic was a tribute from Japan to us," the governnt official said with pride.
He suddenly changed the tone, "Mr. Xu Yi, what do you think of this sword?"
"It would make a nice decoration at ho!"
The implication was a refusal.
The governnt official sighed, a hint of regret in his voice, "This should have been a powerful Exorcism Holy Relic, it's a pity it's broken. If soone could find the god remains to repair it, that would be great!"
"God remains?" Xu Yi, who was about to put the katana down, paused.
"Exactly, the Japan branch sent the katana over in hopes that we could find the god remains to repair it. But god remains are not so easy to co by; after so many years, all we can do is let it collect dust here," the governnt official explained.
God remains, coming from a deceased deity—just hearing this phrase one understands the rarity and value of god remains.
Xu Yi subconsciously looked at the Annabelle doll at his waist.
Speaking of god remains, he did indeed possess so; not too long ago he had slain an Evil God, and those sharp incisors belonged to the god remains.
"How can this katana be restored?" Xu Yi picked up the katana again, his mind made up, the second item would be this katana.
Rather than getting so common Exorcism Artifacts, he would rather take a gamble. If he could really repair this katana, then he'd be making a huge profit.
"Ah! Mr. Xu Yi, you're choosing this katana... The docunt is still here, I'll find it for Mr. Xu Yi in a mont!" The governnt official was taken aback before he realized what was happening.
After leaving the War God Repository, Xu Yi found Maria, who was waiting outside the heavily guarded military base.
"Have you been waiting long?" Xu Yi approached Maria, carrying a box in one hand and a long case on his back.
Maria smiled and shook her head. Beside her lay a brown leather case.
Inside the leather case were the "tokens of gratitude" issued by the governnt—every exorcist who participated could pick one Level 5 treasure from the War God Repository.
With so many people, naturally not everyone could enter the War God Repository, so the governnt distributed a list to each exorcist to choose from.
Since Xu Yi discovered the root of the curse, he was allowed to pick an additional item. With Lisa and Maria, they were entitled to choose four items in total.
Without exception, they all chose the "Shroud".
"Shroud" may not sound nice, but it's actually fabric made through a special process and entirely new.
This fabric can isolate magnetic fields, has certain exorcism effects, and is also very sturdy and durable—it can withstand cuts from common daggers and is an excellent material for making combat suits.
The Shroud was extrely sought after, and if it wasn't for the governnt doing Xu Yi a favor by specially reserving so, they probably would have run out long ago.
"Mr. Xu Yi, where shall we go next, back to Chinatown?" the driver asked respectfully.
"To the Weiss Hospital!"
...
Inside a private room in Weiss Hospital.
Xu Yi arranged a large bunch of tulips in a vase and with a smile on his face looked at Lisa, who appeared healthy on the hospital bed, "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"
Lisa shook her head, lazily nestled in the bed, not wanting to move, bathed in the warm sunlight.
She didn't look like a patient but more like a schoolgirl struggling to wake up for class.
Xu Yi sat beside the bed, gently rubbing Lisa's head, and she, like a little kitten, closed her eyes slightly, a look of contentnt on her face.
"All thanks to the Leaf of Redemption!" Xu Yi thought to himself. If it weren't for the Leaf of Redemption, Lisa would surely still be in a coma.
"Perhaps the Leaf of Redemption could be made into so kind of Life Potion?" Xu Yi pondered.
Doctors hurried along the corridor; hospitals in New York City were still in a state of full capacity.
Even though the Evil God Ratma had been vanquished, the illness of Hot Soul Disease remained.
Curses are tricky things, they don't just disappear when their source dies. At tis, the curse can beco stronger following the death of its source.
Fortunately, that scenario did not co to pass; there was a degree of weakening in the curse. At the very least, the first batch of patients hadn't continued to die, and those comatose from Hot Soul Disease occasionally regained consciousness.
"To completely cure these patients of Hot Soul Disease, that's going to be troubleso!"
Xu Yi heard that the governnt was already looking for a solution, planning to use large Exorcism Artifacts. With Ratma's death, the curses were no longer deeply entwined and could be dispelled by Exorcism Artifacts.
He vigorously rubbed Lisa's head, ssing up her hair.
"Alright! I have a little business to attend to at the hospital, I'll co back to see you after it's taken care of," Xu Yi stood up, ready to leave.
Lisa obediently nodded her head.
