If he rashly appeared in front of other people and scared them to death, he would be responsible, so he moved to an empty alley.
Then Xu Fei walked out of the alley, onto the street, and hailed a taxi.
As soon as Xu Fei got in the car, the taxi driver looked at the rearview mirror and said to Xu Fei, "Where are you going, sir?"
"The Exorcist Church." Xu Fei said directly.
After hearing Xu Fei's answer, the driver started the car and continued driving forward.
Perhaps out of curiosity, the driver asked, "Sir, are you going to the Exorcist Church for a commission?"
"No, I'm a mage. I just came to this city and want to open a business." Xu Fei said to the driver.
"So you are a wizard." The driver suddenly realized after hearing this.
"From what you asked, it seems that many people in this city come to the Exorcist Church for commissions?" Xu Fei asked with interest.
If we were to ask who in a city is most informed of gossip, it would be the taxi drivers who drive around the city. They pick up different people every day, so they are bound to know some news, which is why Xu Fei chose to take a taxi.
"I'm sorry to say this, Master. If your magic power is not very strong, then I suggest you don't open an office in this city." The driver did not answer Xu Fei's words, but warned him first.
"Oh? Does that mean the situation in this city is very complicated?" Xu Fei asked.
"This is not a complicated question, Master. Do you know how many customers I have attracted today?"
Chapter 2 Fujino Sawa Ryo
Facing the taxi driver's question, Xu Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Master, I have been running since morning and it is 3 o'clock in the afternoon now. So far, you are my fifth customer." said the taxi driver.
"Hmm? Aren't the people you're bringing in too few?" Xu Fei said.
"That's right, but there's nothing we can do about it. And one of the first four passengers I picked up was going to the Exorcist Church." said the driver.
"Why don't you tell me in detail about the situation in this city." Hearing this, Xu Fei said directly to the driver.
"It was just a few years ago, when everything was normal in this city. But suddenly, for some unknown reason, many unclean things appeared in this city.
At first, one or two people were killed every day, but then the number of casualties increased. People in the entire city were very panicked. Many people who came to this city to work chose to leave, but the locals wanted to leave but couldn't because their homes were here.
So far, the city has been in a state of panic. Many people stay at home and dare not go out, because staying at home can at least guarantee a brief period of peace. If they go out, they might encounter something unclean. This is why I have only pulled 5 people from this morning till now. "
Following the driver's answer, Xu Fei couldn't help but ask, "So when did the Exorcist Church come here? And with the Exorcist Church here, aren't there fewer unclean things in this city?"
"The Exorcist Church came to this city three years ago. Its arrival attracted many mages to set up offices in this city. The arrival of these mages did alleviate the panic in the city, but this was only superficial.
Because people who are supposed to die are still dying, and many wizards with low magic power died there during the exorcism process. So gradually, there are fewer and fewer exorcism offices here, and no one has come here to open a new office in recent months. "The driver sighed and said.
"Now that the city has become like this, have you ever thought about leaving? And since you can only pick up a few passengers a day, why are you still driving a taxi?" Xu Fei asked.
"If I don't stay here, where else can I go?" The driver suddenly whispered, "And I heard that people who left this city and went to other cities died inexplicably.
So at least it is safe to stay in this city now, but after leaving this city, I don’t know whether I will be safe in other places.
I have a one-year-old son at home, so I have no choice but to drive. It is very difficult to find a job in this city now.”
Listening to the driver's narration, Xu Fei had a general understanding of this city. It seemed that there were indeed a lot of filth here, which was why Xu Fei felt that there were so many dark elements in his surroundings.
"Thank you for the information you provided me. This has made me more confident in handling the law office in this city." Xu Fei said with a smile.
Xu Fei's words stunned the driver for a moment, and then the driver said, "Since you didn't back down after hearing what I said, I think the mage must be a person with great magical powers, but I hope you can be more cautious in the future."
"Thank you for the reminder." Xu Fei smiled slightly, then he raised his finger, a white light appeared on his finger, and he casually threw it into the driver's body.
Sensing this, the driver quickly parked the car aside. Then he turned around and looked at Xu Fei in surprise, "Master, what did you just do?"
Looking at the surprised driver, Xu Fei smiled and said, "This is a reward for you providing me with so much information. It can save your life."
"This..." The driver touched his body in surprise. He could feel that when the light from Xu Fei entered his body, the cold and tense feeling surrounding him disappeared, and now he felt comfortable again.
"There's no need to be so surprised. Drive me to the Exorcist Church now. After I get the certificate for opening an office, if I meet those people seeking help in the future, I can bring them to my office." Xu Fei said with a smile.
"Yes, mage." If the driver had previously respected Xu Fei as a mage, now he was respecting Xu Fei himself.
Just a ray of light appeared and touched his body, making him feel back to his normal state. If this person is not a powerful wizard, then what else could he be?
I think I have to curry favor with this wizard in the future, because with him around, my life will be guaranteed.
Later on the way to the Exorcist Church, Xu Fei chatted a lot with the driver. The driver told Xu Fei a lot of information he knew, and Xu Fei also learned his name, Fujino Sawa Ryo.
He is an experienced driver who has been driving for more than 10 years. He has a lovely son and a virtuous wife at home. The family of three is happy, but as more and more unclean things appear in the city, their life pressure is gradually increasing.
As he said before, due to the increasing pressure of life, he had to come out to drive, because only in this way could he earn enough money to support his family.
Otherwise, his family would probably not be tortured to death by those unclean things, but would starve to death due to lack of daily necessities and supplies.
Because they were chatting all the way, Xu Fei didn't feel the passage of time. When he came to his senses, Fujino Zeliang had already driven the taxi to the side of the Exorcist Church.
"Master Matsudaira, we have arrived at the Exorcist Church." Fujino Ze Ryo said respectfully to Xu Fei.
"Well, then you wait for me here for a while. After I go in to handle my business, you can take me back to my home. I will pay you the transportation fare then." Xu Fei said to Fujino Zeliang.
"It doesn't matter whether you pay for the fare or not, sir, just go and do your business first. I can't get anyone here anyway, so I might as well wait for you here." Fujino Sawa Ryo said generously.
Xu Fei smiled and shook his head. "Forget it. Wait for me here first, and we'll talk about it later."
After that, with Fujino Zeliang seeing him off, Xu Fei arrived at the gate of the Exorcist Church. When he saw the building of the Exorcist Church, Xu Fei finally understood why it was called the Exorcist Church.
Because the Exorcist Church is inside a church, but what surprises Xu Fei is that this church is not the Christian Catholic church in the previous worlds, because there is no cross or anything like that on it.
With this doubt, Xu Fei stepped into the door...
Chapter 3: The White-haired Old Man
The layout inside the Exorcist Church was different from the church Xu Fei had imagined. Rather than a church, it was more like a hall similar to a bar.
Although it was still a grayish but somewhat bright sky outside, the light inside the church was somewhat dim. Moreover, there were no electric lights or other equipment for lighting, only several torches were lit on the surrounding walls.
Of course, the Exorcist Church’s decorations are not meant to show off its status.
As soon as Xu Fei entered the hall, he felt a calming power from the surrounding torches, and the entire Exorcist Church seemed to be shrouded in a barrier that prevented the strong dark elements outside from entering the hall. The proportion of elements in the hall was very peaceful.
There is a counter at the deepest part of the hall, behind which are some wines and other things. At the counter there is an elderly white-haired man who looks listless and is sleeping on the counter.
The rest of the hall was filled with tables, chairs and benches, which looked very monotonous.
So Xu Fei walked straight to the counter. As soon as he reached the counter, he took out the letter in his arms and placed it on the counter.
"Oh, after all this time, someone who is not afraid of death finally comes to this city again."
The white-haired old man who was sleeping on the bar counter got up and looked directly at Xu Fei who was standing beside the counter. He was no longer as lazy as before, and his eyes were full of brilliance.
"Haha, I'm a naturally courageous person. I don't even know how to write the word death." As he spoke, he pulled the stool next to the bar under his butt, sat on it, and said to the white-haired old man.
"Interesting." The white-haired old man looked at Xu Fei and said, "You still have a chance to give up now. If you succeed in registering and establishing your own firm later, you won't even have the chance to give up."
"I say, if I were to give up, I wouldn't be here. Instead of saying so much, why not give me a glass of wine first." Xu Fei said jokingly.
The white-haired old man looked at Xu Fei deeply, and finally said to him, "What kind of wine do you want?"
"Whatever, it depends on your mood. My biggest advantage is that I'm not picky about food." Xu Fei said with a smile.
"What a non-picky eater." The white-haired old man sighed, and without saying anything else, he turned around and took a bottle of whiskey closest to him from the cabinet behind him.
He took out a wine glass from under the counter and placed it in front of Xu Fei. He opened the whiskey and poured half of it into the glass.
Xu Fei took the whiskey and took a sip, then put the glass on the counter and looked at the white-haired old man again.
"So Xu Ke, you came here today just for this." Xu Fei said.
The old man looked at Xu Fei in silence, then he bent down to open the remaining cabinet, took out a piece of white paper and handed it to Xu Fei.
"Leave your mark, and your firm will be established." said the white-haired old man.
Xu Fei turned his gaze to the white paper placed next to him and smiled slightly, "I didn't expect the Exorcist Church to be so generous. It's just a piece of registration paper, but it can be used as a magic weapon."
The white-haired old man said, "This is a symbol of identity, representing a wizard's identity in the exorcist world. Naturally, it cannot be the same as the one used by ordinary people. Also, let me remind you that you'd better think of your logo carefully, because this place does not support a second change."
"Change?" Xu Fei couldn't help but laugh, "Could it be that someone was not satisfied with their first mark and wanted to change it?"
"Yes, and a lot of them." said the white-haired old man.
"Interesting." Xu Fei smiled, then stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the white paper of the magic weapon beside him, and a mark gradually emerged on the white paper.
It was a wing pattern, but one side was white and the other side was black.
This pattern was naturally designed by Xu Fei according to his own situation. If we don't say anything that can represent Xu Fei's power, then this pattern is the most appropriate. Because he has a heart of light and darkness in his body, and there is also a pair of light and dark wings behind him.
Looking at the pattern mark on the white paper, the white-haired old man nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to have good taste. At least this is the most artistic mark I have ever seen."
Xu Fei smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
The white-haired old man shook his head. "It doesn't matter. After all, you are now considered a member of our Exorcist Church."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and put the paper with Xu Fei's seal back into the cabinet, took out a wooden sign from it and handed it to Xu Fei.
"This is a special ID card made by our Exorcist Church. This card can prove that you are a member of our Exorcist Church." said the white-haired old man.
When Xu Fei took the ID card, he saw a pattern of light and dark wings on it, which was the mark left by Xu Fei before.
He suddenly remembered what the old man had told him before, that many people wanted to change the seal for the second time. Sure enough, it was because the pattern they designed was too shameful to show off, otherwise who would have the time to change the seal?
"So how do we accomplish future tasks?" Xu Fei asked the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man looked at Xu Fei strangely, "You don't even know the process, and you dare to come to this ghost town?"
"Tsk, why can't we eliminate those things if we don't know the process?" Xu Fei retorted.
The white-haired man grinned, and his expressionless face instantly revealed a sinister look. "Of course, how could it be impossible?"
The sudden change in the white-haired old man's state did not affect Xu Fei. He just smiled and said to the old man, "So please help me introduce the process."
"I'm very happy today, so it's no problem for me to introduce the process to you." said the white-haired old man.
“There are two types of missions in our Exorcist Church. One is the mission posted in the Exorcist Church.
This kind of task is mainly entrusted to our Exorcist Church by the client, and such a task will exist in the public tasks of the Exorcist Church. If you think it can be completed, then accept it and complete it.
After completing this kind of task, you usually need to return to the Exorcist Church to hand in the task. After evaluation by the Exorcist Church, you will be given the corresponding reward.
The second type is suitable for more famous exorcists. Customers will contact you directly in private, that is, they will seek your help directly without going through the Exorcist Guild. The fees for such tasks are charged at your own discretion.
Of course, if you are strong and have a high success rate in completing tasks, the church will also recommend some people who come to you with urgent commissions to go to your office.
The premise is that you are idle. If you are doing a task, the church will not assign other tasks to you. Everything is based on completing the current task."
Chapter 4: Ghost Town
Hearing what the white-haired old man said, Xu Fei nodded. These were similar to the process he imagined, but he now had a question.
"What would happen if someone else also received the public task when I accepted it?"
Xu Fei's question made the white-haired old man smile, "The mission of our Exorcist Church is to exorcise these filth. If two or three people receive the mission at the same time, whoever exorcises the filth will get the reward.
However, your worries in this ghost town are unnecessary, as no one will compete with you for the quests here. Because the last mage who came here to accept quests was a month ago, but he still hasn't reported the quests.
You might as well guess what his situation is like now? "
Xu Fei frowned, "What kind of filth appeared here? Why is it so powerful?"
The white-haired old man smiled and said, "Are you scared?"
"Don't ask such boring questions. I just want to understand the situation." Xu Fei knocked on the counter helplessly.
The white-haired old man shrugged, "It's really not fun to finally get a newcomer, but it turns out to be someone as bold as you."
"You are the branch president of an Exorcist Guild, but you act like a crazy old man. If I hadn't known the situation in advance, I would really want to beat you up." Xu Fei said after taking a sip of whiskey.
"Oh, the information says that you have only been here for a day or two? How come you have found out so much information? Have you been here before?" The white-haired old man lost his previous aura and became gentler.
"Don't you know there is a profession called taxi driver? Do you think anything that happens in this city can escape their gossip?" Xu Fei asked.
"Uh, okay." The white-haired old man said helplessly, "Introduce yourself again. Forget it, I never introduced myself before.
My name is Fujiro, and I am the president of the Exorcist Guild of this ghost town. As you can see, I am the only one left in this guild now."
"Where are the others?" Xu Fei asked.
"I've applied for transfer." Feng Jiro waved his hand, took a wine glass from the counter, then picked up the whiskey next to it, poured half of it into his own glass and said.
"Hehe, the psychological quality of you people in the Exorcist Church is really not good." Xu Fei said sarcastically.
