Chapter 303 Everyone has merit, except the Franks
Buckingham Palace.
The newly appointed commander of the Royal Guards Division and the commander of the Royal Guards, Baron Kimo, submitted a document to Queen Sofilia.
Declaring war on Prussia, Windsor shouted slogans loudly, but it cannot be said that there were no actual actions. It can only be said that when the road is unfair, it can only be yelled, and after the roar, it continues to move forward.
On the bright side, Windsor is watching from afar as usual, continuing to carry forward the traditional style of not being a human being.
Secretly, Queen Sofilia declared war to consolidate the power scattered in the hands of the Tulip family.
The action was vigorous and resolute. The first blow was to the military and political system built around the royal family, such as the Royal Guards Division. Members of the Tulip family were promoted openly and covertly, keeping these informants away from Buckingham Palace, and then Insert the elite backbone secretly cultivated by the royal family.
Like the mysterious Baron Kilmer, like the two deputy ministers of magic who landed in the air, Sophilia warned the random long flowers when pruning her garden with a knife.
Plants cannot grow according to their nature. It is true that sunshine is desirable, but the scissors are in the hands of the owner. If they do not grow wildly according to the owner's ideas, the scissors will inevitably fall on your head.
Click!
Your head is gone!
Friends who are often rebellious know that although the scissors in the owner's hand are fast and ruthless, the old trees are intricately entangled and become messy if they are constantly cut. It is not possible for the owner to cut however he wants.
Smart gardeners should adopt different pruning methods according to different plant varieties and different growth conditions according to local conditions.
Only this kind of bonsai can be called art and can be sold at a high price, allowing the owner to obtain the maximum benefit value.
If you cut randomly, not only will the price fail to sell, but the scissors will easily break.
Click!
Your scissors are chipped!
As Auston said, facing the butcher's knife in the Queen's hand, the Tulip family was submissive on the surface, but secretly fought back, claiming to be loyal to the king and patriotic.
Sophilia has received a lot of documents these days, and today's document comes from the Banser lineage, a branch of the Landau family.
In the document, Banser elaborated on Auston's arrogance and domineering nature, and denounced his ambitions, including but not limited to the alliance between the Landau family and the Moonlight Church, deliberately creating royal scandals, etc.
To sum up, Auston has no monarch and the Landau family is powerful. Although Banser is sincere and patriotic, he may not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the Queen due to lack of soldiers and food.
Sofilia put down the document in disappointment. When she saw Baron Kimo, the anonymous Prince Douglas, picking up the document and flipping through it, she frowned slightly and tried to stop it.
The scandal between her and Auston was mentioned in the document. She felt that it would be better not to let her husband see it. Although it is said that the innocent will self-examine, there is nothing wrong with avoiding suspicion. After all...
Her husband and her ex-boyfriend are indeed somewhat similar in appearance. Although the husband doesn’t say it, he must be feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
Sofilia did not stop her in the end, deliberately avoiding her was more like covering up the truth, and could not solve anything except creating misunderstandings.
In addition, the small means of suppressing the Tulip family, such as the Banser family far away from Lundam, have been secretly controlled by Douglas over the years. If Douglas wants to know the contents of the document, he can just ask Banser directly.
By then, Banser's embellishments will only be more absurd than the document.
"The Landau family and the Moonlight Church..."
Douglas put down the document and frowned at Sophilia: "Your Majesty, do you know about this?"
< br>“It’s not a secret, the higher-ups in the Ministry of Magic know something about it, but they didn’t expect Wayne to do such a good job.”
Sophilia shook her head slightly. Wayne served as the ambassador of the Ministry of Magic and used a beauty trick to get close to Philomena, the high priest of the Moonlight Church. It was Deputy Minister Yvette's idea, and it was officially implemented after she nodded and confirmed.
The purpose of this move was to appease Philomena. Later, the traitor Orb was exposed, and the Ministry of Magic no longer forced Wayne to continue the beauty trick.
Unexpectedly, he really fell asleep with Philomena.
“It can only be said that the plan did not change quickly. The Landau family was very loyal at that time, and I was very relieved when the task was handed over to Wayne...”
Sophilia smiled: “ Of course, I still trust the Landau family now, and Auston has given me a reason to win over him, right? ”
"Are you sure this isn't a threat?" Douglas asked displeased.
My Lord Prince, your prejudice against Auston is somewhat based on personal grudges.
Sofilia knew this and did not clarify the contradiction. That would only amplify the contradiction and cause irreparable consequences. She said businesslikely: "I know that the Landau family and the Moonlight Church There is a connection, not only that, but also a very good relationship with the Church of Nature. Auston made it clear that it is not a threat, it is a response to me, but the card is a bit too big and does not fit with his usual style. "< br>
You really understand him!
Douglas felt unhappy.
It is understandable that anyone who hears about the ongoing scandal between his wife and his ex-boyfriend every few days and is unable to come forward to clarify the matter will want to give his ex-boyfriend some color.
But I can’t give it. Windsor is the Queen’s Windsor, and Douglas is just a prince, not a king.
As for the inheritance rights of the queen's spouse, she may or may not have it, depending on the queen's attitude.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Auston responded to me, and it's my turn next."
Sofilia pondered: "I'm sure, This trump card is not Auston's style of dealing with things. It is too straightforward and too tough. It should represent the next loyal Wayne of the Landau family..."
"Auston acquiesced to Wayne doing this. Either Auston has changed and deliberately arranged this, or Auston has no choice but to do anything about his heir."
Sophilia analyzed the intelligence and guessed Two possibilities.
Douglas suppressed his anger and continued: "No matter what it is, the attitude of the Landau family is very tough. If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. You can no longer trust Alston like before. ."
Sofilia smiled bitterly when she heard this, she didn't trust Auston, who should she trust?
If it were any other Tulip family, they would be even less trustworthy than Auston. There is no absolute loyalty in the world, it is nothing more than loyalty to oneself bound by interests.
"Baron Kimo, your plan is a bit radical." Sophilia suddenly regretted it.
"This is more efficient, and power has been dispersed for too long. These guys have forgotten who they are." Douglas said expressionlessly.
Sofilia nodded. This is indeed the case. The response of the Tulip family alone shows that power amplifies people's ambitions. If power is not gathered, the royal family will only become worse with each generation.
When the next generation of kings comes, the country's military, political, economic, and cultural affairs are all controlled by the Tulip family. The king becomes a puppet and can only implement the monarchy offline system.
What a headache!
Seeing Sofilia frowning and thinking hard, Douglas continued: "War is the best reason. You can't let go of this opportunity. The power we have in our hands is enough to take back power. You don't have to worry about the Tulip family losing control."
"Maybe..."
Sofilia glanced at her husband and noticed the ambition that was about to take off. After weighing it for a moment, she said: "I trust the Tulip family too much, which is not good for the royal family. Centralize power, you have full authority to deal with them on my behalf."
"Don't go too far, I want power, not corpses."
"Don't worry, I only wield my knife against traitors. Let there be an irreparable rift between the royal family and the Tulip family." Douglas got his wish and looked at the documents on the table.
The Landau family is on both sides. There is a high priest in Auston's arms, and there is also a high priest in Wayne's arms. This bone is too difficult to crack and should be dealt with last.
But if you gather all your strength to break this hard nut first, the power of example is great. Other Tulip families will undoubtedly curb their ambitions, and the royal family can complete the centralization of power in the shortest time.
Moonlight Church, Natural Church...
What Douglas was afraid of was not the two high priests, but the church behind them. After much thought, he decided to discuss the matter with the Dark Church.
Only magic can defeat magic. In the same way, only the church can defeat the church!
Douglas thought a lot and made more than ten drafts, all of which were plans for the Landau family. He hesitated whether to attack the Landau family first.
Seeing through his thoughts, Sophilia smiled: "How about it, is it difficult?"
"..."
It is a bit difficult. Do it, the risks and benefits are equal, there is no choice.
“I’ll meet with Auston first to see what his attitude is. It would be best if we can talk.”
"..."
How to talk, where to talk, should we summon him at night?
Have you really broken up?
The more he thought about it, the more unlucky Douglas became. As the queen's husband and the father of two children, he should have been the winner, but the similarity in body shape and appearance to Auston made him feel a thorn in his heart. I always feel like I am a substitute.
Mingren doesn’t tell secrets. He hates Auston very much. The more Sophilia trusts Auston, the more he hates Auston.
Now there is one more person to hate.
Wayne Landau!
So much like Alston.
Obviously he was an illegitimate son secretly cultivated, but because of Auston's connections with various forces, according to well-documented intelligence, Wayne was Auston's son-in-law.
Everyone told lies with their eyes open, especially MI6, who vowed to take out a fake file to cover up Auston.
It’s so funny, how could the father and son’s eyebrows and eyes not be related by blood?
These Tulip families really regard the royal family as blind!
————
Landau Manor, study.
Auston sat on the sofa with a dark face, holding the ancient silver coins in his hand weakly: "I asked you to borrow power from outside the Tulip family, but who asked you to move out the high priest of the Moonlight Church?"
"I didn't move. I made a call and she delivered it to my door."
"..."x2
(乛乛)~~`~~(ˉへ￣)
Auston: Do you still blame pride?
Wayne: Ang.
Alston took a deep breath and said slowly: "Did you know that the Queen made an appointment with me today to remind the Landau family that they are too close to the Moonlight Church?"
"Yes, I think so. The Landau family has gotten closer to the Church of Nature. Where am I? You and the high priest of the Church of Nature even have a son. ""..."
"Forget it. , it was the Minister of Magic who asked me to get close to the High Priest of the Moonlight Church. I sacrificed my life for the country and completed the task well. The Queen was dissatisfied and asked her to go to the Minister of Magic. What are you doing to me? An honest person deserves to be pointed at a gun? "
Wayne became more and more energetic as he spoke, as if he had been wronged a lot.
Auston couldn't stand hearing it anymore and regretted giving the task to Wayne.
He should have known that the Dark Knight is too weak to suppress the Nature/Sun/Moonlight/Darkness/Death/Pale Knight, especially when a group of knights want to be the head of the family.
"As for the Queen, I have expressed the loyalty of the Landau family. Your closeness to the high priest of the Moonlight Church represents the power of the Tulip family. This power belongs to the royal family."
Au Stone once again stated his position, and then said: "As for you, what I mean is very simple. I am the master of the Landau family."
"Auston, you will regret it!"
"Wait until the day you regret it!"
Auston rolled his eyes at Wayne: "Your ambition is as barren as the flesh and blood of a death knight. I can't figure out why you have to make the royal family unhappy. What is the purpose? What is it?”
“The way MI6 trained me in the early years, they were simply not human beings.”
“What’s the truth?”
“The Queen took action first. .”
"If you are dissatisfied with the Queen, you can vent it on the Princess. Why do you have to push me ahead?"
Auston was speechless: "Look at what you did last night, openly spreading rumors and slandering the Queen. Honor, as the heir of the Tulip family, I stayed at the home of the high priest of the Moonlight Church. How do you want the queen to think of me and the Landau family? "
"First of all, I did not spread rumors and slander, you are indeed the queen's ex? My boyfriend did go to the Ministry of Magic for a meeting late at night. Even if it involves spreading rumors, it is a reposted scandal and has nothing to do with my own subjective position."
Wayne looked aggrieved: "Secondly, your Tulip family. The head of the family has more status than the heir. Instead of staying in the house of the high priest of the Church of Nature, you are married and have children. What qualifications do you have to say to me? "
What, the head of the family can do it, but the heir cannot? ?
He is worthy of being the head of the family, what a great official authority!
Auston was silent when he heard this: "You are lying."
"Just tell me whether it is the truth!"
"..."
< br>Auston waved his hand and skipped this ruthless topic: "Recently, I want to show my loyalty to the Queen and make up for the rift between the Landau family and the royal family. You are not suitable to participate, and you will not be handed over for future tasks. For you to execute.”
"It's nice to say it. I'm done being tough, and you can still say sweet words to me, and you still have the nerve to say loyalty."
Wayne curled his lips, and Auston was trying to kill him, and he was so mean to the Queen.
Let’s not talk about his grievances. Just talk about what Auston did to the Queen. He was clearly bullying orphans and widows, and kicking the widow’s door late at night.
He will tell the teacher about this, and adding jealousy will inevitably lead to Auston flying away.
————
Without the family responsibilities, Wayne is happy to be free and continue his busy daily life.
Don’t ask, asking means you are busy.
For example, the high priest Philomena touched Philomena's butt in public that night, which was equivalent to clarifying the relationship between the two, so many side plots were created.
Philomena was overjoyed and rewarded Wayne severely. This will take time;
Chris knew that the teacher had a relationship with Wayne, and she was depressed and wanted to be comforted. The same It takes time;
Chris knows, which means that Veronica and Willie will also know soon. It still takes time to make arrangements in advance;
In addition, there is an appointment with the secretary, and the angel is on the left , on the right is the succubus. It takes time to level this bowl of water.
Furthermore, Wayne did find himself two new jobs.
The first is to study ‘Princess’ Elizabeth.
After Juno regained her freedom, she would send Elizabeth to the designated location every night. The latter was the embodiment of the semi-finished Philosopher's Stone, which was transformed by the Void Life, the Windsor Ministry of Magic, and the Papal State. The foundation of the original legendary mage is a masterpiece of magic dolls, which is of great research value.
Because of her, Wayne got a lot of inspiration.
The second job is to do research in a mental hospital. I was invited by Planck and are still negotiating salary.
Some time ago, Auston returned several Forgotten people from the secret stronghold. He and Wayne successively covered it up, but they still did not hide it from Plank's eyes.
The old guy is an expert in the study of Forgotten Ones and has extremely rich experience. He can tell at a glance that several Forgotten Ones have been used repeatedly. The surface is 90% new, but the inside is no longer useful.
Glank began to invest in Wayne a long time ago, adding positions again and again. He was one of the few transportation captains who did not have blood and tears on Wayne's path forward.
Plank has his own ideas. He hopes that Wayne's original bloodline will prove his theory and point out a clear path for him.
Putting aside his use and selfishness, he was of great help to Wayne. After receiving his call, Wayne readily met him at his usual place.
In the bar room, Mona stood behind Wayne.
Plank sighed as usual: "It's so similar. You and Auston are becoming more and more alike. He has a high priest's wife, and you should have one too."
"Do you even know about this?"
"Of course, it has been spread around the Ministry of Magic. As expected of the Landau family, they are experts in deceiving women." Plank clicked his tongue in surprise.
Alston has a secretary, and Wayne has one;
Alston has a high priest, and so does Wayne;
Auston has a queen, and Wayne has one Well, will there be one too?
According to this statement, is it possible to suspect that Wayne and the princess were having an affair?

Plank picked up the tons of drinks in front of him, and Le Wan lowered his voice and said: "What's going on in your family? Why has Aston changed his usual loyalty?"< br>
"Glank, I don't know what you are talking about. Our Landau family has been loyal to the royal family for generations and is an absolute royalist!" Wayne spoke righteously, and his serious look seemed to be guarding justice.
The effect is mediocre. Even Veronica can’t be fooled by this, let alone Plank.
He smiled half-heartedly and raised his eyebrows: "Tell me the truth, what step are the Landau family prepared to take? Is it tough to the end, or is it tough first and then give in, in exchange for the greatest political benefits?"
< br>
"Why do you care about this?" Wench asked.
"Because some of us have been very dissatisfied with the Queen recently."
"Oh, the Queen also wielded a knife against the Ministry of Magic?" Wayne became interested and asked Plank to write this paragraph Expounded in detail.
“The Ministry of Magic is the Queen’s Ministry of Magic. She is free to do what she wants. We are just part-time workers. We contribute as much as we pay and we are not qualified to point fingers at her.”
Planck first explained his position on the workers, and then changed the topic: "But the Queen suddenly gave the two vacant deputy ministerial positions to outsiders. This is her fault. Take me as an example. I have worked hard for so many years without complaining and have no merit. There is hard work, and there is fatigue even without hard work. I hope to get some mental compensation by becoming a deputy minister!”
Plank talked a lot, observing the changes in Wayne's expression, trying to figure out something.
Not seeing anything, he could not help but emphasize his tone: "Wayne, you may not know that these two airborne deputy ministers are from Frank. They are arrogant and rude, neither pragmatic nor reliable. They just came here. He used strong tactics and put himself on a higher level than anyone else..."
Windsor and Frank have a century-old friendship. Even the legendary mage is not immune to it. Wayne translated Gangplank's words, two stinky foreigners. Randan came to beg for food.
The return is coming!
Glanck hasn’t eaten this bowl of rice yet!
Wayne secretly thought it was funny and said meticulously: "You can't say that. I can speak impartially from the perspective of a passerby. After all, they are newcomers. If they want to establish authority, they must have a tough attitude. This is understandable."< br>
“But they are Franks, and everyone has merit, except the Franks!”
“No, everyone has merit, even the Franks.”
"I don't think so."
Plank complained again and again. He had been observing Wayne. Seeing that he was unwilling to express his opinion, he asked again: "What do the Landau family think? What about the entire Tulip family? You You might as well speak clearly. If there is a lack of strong voices, Bonn and I can speak for you.”
You two should study quantum mechanics!
Wayne rolled his eyes and didn't say anything: "To tell you the truth, my attitude is tougher than that of Auston, but he is the head of the family, and I don't have any say in the Randall family, at least not for now. Forget it."
"Then when did you become the head of the family?"
"Ah..."
Wayne blinked with an indignant look on his face: " Don’t talk nonsense, the Landau family is a loving father and a filial son. I will only support Auston, he is the head of the family.”
Planck was not very satisfied with the result.
He regained his mood and said instead: "Wayne, I talked to you on the phone about the work of the attending physician. How is it? Are you interested in working in Hongyelin?"
Speaking of At this point, he looked Wayne up and down and smiled meaningfully: "Let me guess, you are already a Golden Mage, right?"
"What a coincidence, you just got promoted yesterday."
< br>“What a coincidence.”
Gangplank chuckled and narrowed his eyes slightly: "How about, what have the five faiths given you? Did your original blood give you the ability to challenge the legendary mage at the golden mage stage?"
"It's hard to say."
Wayne shook his head. As far as the current situation is concerned, he holds five artifacts, and it should be the legendary mage who challenges him.
"Wayne, you are going too far, at least share some information."
Ganglank was so greedy that he said: "You are the Golden Mage, or the Golden Mage of the Church of Nature, just right You can take Sidney's place. Believe me, even the Forgotten One who has fallen into madness has a lot of precious knowledge and is worthy of you accepting this job."
Wayne really had his intention. Research is addictive and can speed up evolution. He agreed to this job where clocking in and out depends on the mood of the attending physician.
"Also, for information sharing, I have a major secret about the red leaf forest. Are you interested?"
