"This title, isn't it a bit too 'chuunibyou'?"
Xu Yi looked at the golden card in his hand and scratched his head.
The golden card was delivered by people from the church. They ca quickly and left just as fast, leaving behind only the golden card and a deep blue crystal ball.
Engraved on the card was Xu Yi's title: "Holy Fla War God".
This made him feel sowhat embarrassed, but after learning about the titles of other exorcists, he got over it, glad that others were in the sa boat.
The church people had left, but the "uninvited guests" stayed behind; of course, the uninvited guests were from Boston's standpoint.
"Mr. Xu Yi, long ti no see!" Entos greeted Xu Yi warmly.
"Entos, aren't you supposed to be in New York? What brings you here?" Xu Yi asked with a smile.
He recalled the days when they fought side by side against rat swarms in the sewers of New York and felt a strange sense of nostalgia.
"I heard Mr. Xu Yi has beco a title-bearing exorcist, so I ca on behalf of New York to offer congratulations," Entos replied with a smile.
He took out an extrely heavy tal box, which, after a series of complex unlocking procedures, slowly opened, with golden light seeping through the cracks.
"This is a little congratulatory gift we've brought," Entos said proudly."
Xu Yi peered inside, and in the box lay a circular section of "tal" with jagged ends and inscrutable intricate patterns engraved on it.
"Is this a fragnt of the Spear of Longinus?!"
Before Entos had the chance to introduce it, Mil suddenly exclaid.
Xu Yi was also surprised; he'd certainly heard of the Spear of Longinus, the spear that had once pierced Jesus. After absorbing the Holy Blood of Jesus, it turned into a "Holy Artifact" with imnse power.
Strictly speaking, the Spear of Longinus falls under the category of Exorcism Holy Relics.
But there are gaps between Exorcism Holy Relics, just like there are gaps between people, sotis even wider than the gap between humans and dogs.
Exorcism Holy Relics can be roughly divided into three levels: "Heritage Level," "Epic Level," and "Mythic Level."
Without a doubt, the Spear of Longinus belonged to the top-tier Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relic.
The Exorcism Holy Relics Xu Yi had encountered before, whether it was Saint O'Hagan or the Red Lotus longsword, were all Heritage Level.
He was in contact with a Mythic Level Exorcism Holy Relic for the first ti.
Xu Yi subconsciously looked at the snake sculpture on his waist and paused slightly.
The gemstones on the statue lit up, but that wasn't the reason for his pause. It was normal for the Source of Woe to react when encountering a legendary Exorcism Holy Artifact.
What surprised him was that even with a legendary Holy Artifact like the Spear of Longinus, only two gemstones lit up!
What kind of treasure could light up three gemstones?
"This is certainly not a 'small' congratulatory gift!"
Xu Yi shifted his gaze from the remnants of the Spear of Longinus and stared into Entos's eyes, "We are friends. If there's anything you need help with, feel free to speak frankly."
"It's truly just a congratulatory gift. Of course, I've also brought greetings from New York. May I ask when Mr. Xu Yi plans to reside in New York? We have prepared several villas there for you," Entos replied with a smile.
Xu Yi understood that whether it was New York or the upper echelons of Boston, their requests were actually quite simple: to have him settle down locally.
The rationale was simple; having a "big leg" nearby ant that even in a major disaster, there would be more confidence, and one could sleep much more peacefully on a regular basis.
Mil looked a bit disheartened. He wanted to say that Boston also had Exorcism Holy Artifacts, but compared to the Spear of Longinus before them, they seed rather inadequate.
Although it was rely a fragnt, the might of the Spear of Longinus was incomparable to any ordinary Exorcism Holy Artifact.
Most importantly, between the fragnts of the Spear of Longinus, there was a sensing effect.
That is to say, by holding a fragnt, there was a small sliver of hope to find the entire Spear of Longinus.
Mil looked towards the Mayor of Boston, who subtly nodded. Mil knew what to do next.
"The remnants of the Spear of Longinus is indeed a grand gesture!" Mil suddenly stood up.
He silently opened the briefcase in front of him, took out a stack of papers, and laid them before Xu Yi, "But when giving a gift, what's most important is that it touches the heart."
Xu Yi curiously examined the docunts on the table and then exclaid in surprise, "These...
"Yes, what's inside are all the Mysticism-related Scientific Research projects in Boston. As long as Mr. Xu Yi agrees to settle in Boston, all these projects can be fully accessible to you."
Mil provocatively glanced at Entos, "We can also make a copy of the Doomsday Blade's information and hand it over to Mr. Xu Yi."
As the eyes of Entos and Mil t, it seed as though lightning was sparked, filling the room with the scent of gunpowder.
Suddenly, they both turned their heads to look at Xu Yi, "We wonder, Mr. Xu Yi, which city do you think is better to live in?"
Xu Yi looked at the remains of the Spear of Longinus in the box and then at the stack of docunts.
After hesitating for a mont, he raised his head, "How about this, I stay in Boston on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and in New York on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays?"
Entos and Mil were instantly stunned; they hadn't considered this option. Wasn't this the sa as a playboy telling two girls, "Let's take turns dating"?
"Of course, that's a joke, since commuting every day would be a huge waste of ti."
The next sentence from Xu Yi made them both breathe a sigh of relief, but they were quickly taken aback again.
"Actually, it doesn't really matter where I live. After all, it only takes an hour and a half to fly from Boston to New York," Xu Yi said softly.
Mil carefully glanced at Xu Yi, "So… what do you an?"
"I can promise you that if a disaster occurs in the city, I'll step in to help." Xu Yi stood up, pulling the tal case and docunts in front of him.
Only children make choices; of course he wanted it all!
After all, whether it's one sheep or two, they're both herded; his father and friends lived in New York, he couldn't just ignore what happens there.
In the following period, he still needed to use Boston's resources for research, so it was best to maintain good relations on both sides.
"Of course, I can't guarantee that I can solve every problem."
For caution's sake, Xu Yi added another line.
After pondering for a mont, Entos and Mil looked at each other and actually found Xu Yi's words quite reasonable. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Of course, no problem! If there's anything that requires Mr. Xu Yi's help, we will also provide a reward," the Mayor of Boston suddenly spoke up, finalizing the matter.
Xu Yi looked at him with satisfaction; worthy of being a mayor, he indeed had the knack for recognizing the essentials.
Just as things were seemingly resolved, Xu Yi stood up, ready to visit Lisa and Carlyle at the hospital, but the blue Crystal Ball on the table suddenly began to flash red.
What was this about? Xu Yi was montarily surprised.
It seed that the people from the church had left the Crystal Ball behind due to the awkward atmosphere without having ti to inform him about its purpose.
The red light flashed more and more urgently, and Xu Yi stepped back a bit from the Crystal Ball because it looked too much like a countdown tir on a bomb about to go off.
"What's happening with Japan?" murmured Mil.
Seeing the confusion on Xu Yi's face, he suddenly rembered that Xu Yi did not know the function of the crystal ball, slapped his forehead, and said, "Mr. Xu Yi, if you look closely inside the red light, do you see a flag?"
Xu Yi nodded; indeed, he could see the flag of Japan within the red light.
"Mr. Xu Yi, you can think of this blue Crystal Ball as a 'help-seeking platform.' If a city or country encounters an unsolvable problem, they will send out a call for help," Mil explained.
"Do all titled exorcists have such a Crystal Ball?" Xu Yi guessed roughly how it worked.
Mil nodded, "Correct! We in Boston have a Companion Crystal Ball, colorless and transparent. When we encountered the Evil Deity, we sought help through the Companion Crystal Ball from all titled exorcists, and it was the Evil Dragon Empress, Yukeni, who responded to us."
"Evil Dragon Empress?" Xu Yi voiced his confusion; he hadn't seen any sign of her.
"Madam Yukeni is quite a distance from Boston. By the ti she arrived, Mr. Xu Yi, you had already resolved the issue," Mil explained.
Xu Yi noticed that Mil hesitated to speak further but did not press for more detail.
"What's the situation in Japan?" Xu Yi queried.
He certainly wasn't concerned with the ups and downs of Japan.
He never considered himself a Savior; being able to protect those he cherished was already quite enough. Strengthening himself has always been for that purpose.
His concern was about the "Ghost Samurai"; still dormant in Japan, Xu Yi wondered when he would be able to subdue that demon hamr.
With Japan now facing problems, he wasn't sure if the situation would affect the Ghost Samurai.
Mil shook his head, "I'm not sure, but the urgency of the red flashing light indicates that the situation in Japan is already very bad."
"How bad?" Xu Yi asked instinctively.
"Possibly to the extent of national extinction!" Mil said gravely.
