Chapter 188: The house was searched according to the order
It was evening.
The twins emerged from the ruins with disgraced faces. They were too poor at math and wandered around the maze of stone passages for a long time. It took them until their magic power dissipated to get through this level.
This is the result of not studying hard. If Wayne hadn't been an upright man, the high priest would have been screwed.
The twins cleaned up the battlefield, awakened more than a dozen fellow Moonlight Church members, escorted Doreen to a prison, and cleaned up the mess in the stronghold.
Wayne borrowed a piece of clothing, put it on, treated Philomena, and recruited the twins to take care of the high priest.
If you have anything to do, let's wait until he wakes up. He is very busy now and has more important things to do.
With that said, he picked up Mona and Chris, one on each shoulder, and left the library.
He walked through the sewers, found the location of Landau Manor, identified himself through the magic circle, and entered the young master's exclusive villa.
He put the two girls in two bedrooms respectively, took a shower, got a haircut, changed into a clean shirt and went to Alston's study.
Auston wasn't home, and neither was Meghan.
It was just time for dinner, and Wayne and Veronica had dinner with their eyes wide open.
Xifei was originally there, but suddenly felt unwell and lost her appetite, so she left;
There was originally a candlestick, but Veronica pulled out the candles one by one and broke them into two pieces in front of Wayne;
There were originally roses, and Veronica threw them out of the window together with the vase.
All in all, she advised Wayne to eat honestly and not think about things that didn't exist.
Wayne shrugged. The dishonest person was clearly Veronica. She just had a meal and never had any leisure time.
After the meal, Veronica hooked her fingers and asked Wayne to accompany her to do some after-dinner exercises at the eldest lady’s exclusive villa.
Wayne readily agreed and would give him benefits every time Veronica hooked her fingers, and this time was expected to be no exception.
Unfortunately, Auston went home.
"I still have business to do, so I won't mess around with you."
Wayne put off his heir airs and patted Veronica on the shoulder: "You go back first, and I'll play with you when I'm done."
Veronica: ()
She gritted her teeth as she watched the two social wastes go to the study together. She wanted to follow them, but Megan blocked the way.
"Miss, the young master is discussing something very important with me. This is related to the family's future strategy. Please wait a moment." Megan was so serious that people couldn't refuse.
Veronica felt bad. She leaned in to listen and found that Megan had set up a soundproof barrier.
Even worse!
She clenched her fists and stood aside full of resentment, waiting for the two social trash to come out and give her an explanation.
…
In the study room.
Auston was sitting on the sofa playing with ancient silver coins. He didn't know what he thought of, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and he couldn't suppress it.
He endured it for a day, and finally it was time to laugh wildly.
On the opposite side, Wayne described what happened today: "I have told Deputy Minister Yvette about the situation. You must already know that Orb is a traitor and launched a series of attacks against the Moonlight Church."
Auston nodded and glanced at Wayne: "I know everything I need to know, but you didn't tell Yvette why Orb attacked the Moonlight Church."
Wayne frowned: "I can tell you, but you can't tell the Ministry of Magic."
"There is no need to hide it. The truth will be known once you investigate. Even if you don't tell it, the Ministry of Magic can find out. Those legendary mages may not understand Orb's plan, but they know themselves and know that they also know what Orb needs." Auston said bluntly.
Thinking that this was indeed the case, Wayne had no choice but to tell the truth about Chris possessing divine blood.
Orb wanted to seize the Son of God, and he also used an obelisk. His plan was huge and his ambitions were not small.
Alston narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sure enough, these legendary mages are the same in the end, even the reasons for betrayal are the same."
At best, he was ambitious for freedom; at worst, he didn't want to pay after the meal and even flipped the table.
"Where is that girl? Is she at the Moonlight Church stronghold?"
"No, I brought him back. It's in my bedroom."
"..."
Auston was silent for a while and looked at Wayne very dissatisfied: "Sacred blood is indeed very precious. You have enough reasons to keep her by your side. From the perspective of the head of the family, I have no reason to blame you, but I It’s still Veronica’s father who won’t approve of you having a lover outside.”
There is only one person, who do you look down on!
Wayne lowered his eyebrows and refused to refute. It was indeed his fault to give up when something was right, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was his first love.
Seeing that Wayne was extremely well-behaved, Auston became even more unhappy and snorted: "Do you think if you don't speak, I will turn a blind eye and let you get over this matter? Will Veronica ask me later?" Get up, will you use me as a shield and say that I acquiesce? "
Seeing that Lao Deng was not easy to fool, Wayne stopped pretending and glanced towards the study.
"I told you, Meghan is different!"
"But you have never denied that in the eyes of outsiders, she is your lover."
Wayne was very curious as to how Auston did it, even if the teacher didn't beat him half to death, and his attitude towards Megan was very calm, as if he acquiesced that his husband had a lover.
There must be something to say here!
Auston did not want to tell the reason, but stated his position as a father, and decisively jumped to the next topic: "Orb was swallowed by the void worm. This excuse... is not a good one."
The legendary mages of the Ministry of Magic are not fools. They have all entered the star realm and know how low the possibility of encountering a starry sky beast is. Void worms are a relatively rare species, so the possibility is even lower.
Almost impossible.
Auston looked curiously at Wayne, who was wrapped in the legendary mage's life force field. What happened during this period? Why did Orb choose to open the Door of Truth even though he had an absolute advantage?
How did Wayne force Orb to take this path?
If it is a powerful force, Orb cannot win, and he has to do it as a last resort. Auston does not believe it to some extent.
"I didn't lie. Orb sought his own death. I don't know why he opened the Door of Truth. Anyway, he was eaten by the Void Worm. The high priest of the Moonlight Church can testify." Wayne said aggrievedly. He had a witness.
"Do you think the Ministry of Magic will believe the collusive confession?"
Auston waved his hand and continued: "The specific situation will be confirmed by the legendary mage himself. If it is really a void worm, it will definitely be found out."
"It's so dangerous, so they're not afraid that the void worm won't leave, and they just send it to the door?" Wenqi asked.
"Why does the Void Worm stay?"
That's right.
Wayne nodded. That's the truth. You can't just sit back and wait for the rabbit.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

After learning that the Ministry of Magic would prove his innocence, Wayne immediately stopped panicking. With all the witnesses and material evidence, no one could unjustly accuse him.
"The Moonlight Church has lost too many people. In order to block the Moonlight Church's mouth, the Ministry of Magic will definitely make concessions." Auston frowned. He could even imagine the tasks assigned to Wayne by the Ministry of Magic.
He had seen photos of Philomena, and if she didn't say secret words, she would have been unable to hold the small trash can, and she would have died for her country while shouting slogans of justice.
Very unhappy, this is the heir of the Landau family, not a courtesan from the Ministry of Magic!
As far as the interests of the family are concerned, Auston is happy to see this happen. He has a high priest, and Wayne also has a high priest. When both parties cooperate, all three families will benefit.
But again, as a father, he didn't want his daughter to be wronged.
"As for the high priest, you can rest assured, I'm just playing with her."
Wayne sneered again and again, and seeing Auston's face downcast, he explained: "It's not that kind of fun, she's very plain. To tell you the truth, I don't like this woman very much."
"Really, she is so beautiful."
"Auston, you understand us. The skin is not important, the important thing is the soul. Just like you and the teacher, you are not pursuing the teacher because she is good-looking." Wayne spoke righteously.
"..."
"Auston, talk!"
"What are you talking about? I said she was not good-looking, and then you reported her?"
Auston smiled contemptuously, it was just some low-level tricks and none of them came to the fore.
He continued: "You said you don't like that woman, let me believe you for once, remember your promise, don't let me down."
"Just wait and see!"
Wayne was full of confidence. Philomena was very beautiful, but she was too evil-minded. In order to draw him back to the Moonlight Church, he resorted to a beauty trap, and also used his identity to pressure Chriss into using her beauty trap together.
Although he was a little happy, but with Chris's feelings, pure love mixed with interest conflicts, this plan was very bad.
Wayne has already thought about it, but the CPU High Priest will wait for the other person to love him to death, and then kick him away.
This is called retribution!
After two heroic rescues in a row, he felt sure.
Wayne's unfounded self-confidence made Auston very puzzled. He didn't ask any more questions and waited for Wayne to prove himself in the future. He said about the arrangements of the Ministry of Magic today: "Orb is finished. The family close to him is finished." They have been under strict investigation recently, and the investigation team is selecting people. There is a good chance that I will join the investigation. "
Wayne's eyes lit up, he understood what Auston meant.
Lafayette had an order to select imperial envoys, and soon his house was raided according to the order.
This living oil is huge!
"Auston, can you see if I can do it?" Wayne asked shyly. "You are not yet a member of the Tulip family and the Ministry of Magic will not consider you."
Auston shook his head, paused for a moment and then said: "But you can participate in this matter on my behalf. Just like the previous business negotiations, you will complete the task as the heir of the family."
Wayne nodded repeatedly, wishing he could rush to Aub's house right now to search for tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, and hand over hundreds of thousands to the national treasury.
"Don't be too happy. Aube's surname is Windsor. The minister has a son and a daughter. He will not give the most profitable tasks to the Landau family."
Auston saw through Wayne's heart and soul at a glance, and said: "The rewards allocated to us will not be too many. We can make money, but not big profits. When the news is confirmed, it will be up to you to complete the task."
Wayne looked disappointed. It was not the hometown of the legendary mage, but an affiliated family that had a close relationship with him. All the money of these poor people had been taken away by Orb long ago, and the remaining three melons and two dates were clearly used to beg for food. .
Just a passer-by, the Queen looks too ugly when she eats.
Who said you can’t make money without oil and water?
Auston smiled and said nothing, how to make money, how to make money, this is a science, he will not remind Wayne, let him play freely, learn from experience and lessons and grow.
He believes in the talent of the little trash can and will not let him down.
"One more thing!"
Orb died in the afternoon, and the Ministry of Magic held an emergency meeting. There was no rush to divide the spoils or anything like that for the time being. This was all for later, and the Moonlight Church had to give an explanation now.
At the same time, the investigation on Orb and his accomplices cannot be left behind. Only by thorough investigation can the list of people who have been confiscated can be confirmed.
If the queen has something to earn, then everyone can earn something.
Auston asked Wayne to stop daydreaming and said seriously: "Don't leave Lundam in the near future. The minister will honor you as the queen. On that day, I will arrange for you to officially become the heir of the Landau family. "
"So fast?"
Wayne was surprised and put on a pure face: "I thought you would delay for a while, after all... this is also related to Veronica, the engagement... you know what I mean."
Auston's face turned dark and he waved his hand to skip the topic.
If you want him to admit the engagement, it would be easier to kill him.
Therefore, it is impossible to have an engagement contract. If you can postpone it, postpone it. If it cannot be postponed, then discuss it again.
As for the identity of Wayne's heir, Auston had already thought about it. People outside said that Wayne was his illegitimate son. When he explained it, no one believed it, so he just used it as a reason.
Smart people are good at deceiving themselves. Even though Auston knew it was impossible, he still used this excuse to deceive himself.
"Speaking of accomplices, I have another clue."
Wayne said: "Orb's partner, the Thousand-Eyed Demon, was killed. I asked, and it was not the Holy See. I suspect there is a traitor in the Ministry of Magic who is deeper than Orb."
Auston frowned: "I understand, you don't have to worry about this, the Ministry of Magic will investigate, just wait for the news."
Wayne frowned: "That's too perfunctory. My life is in danger. What if the traitor finds me?"
"The situation is complicated. Everyone is trying to throw dirt on Orb. They are all busy. No one will touch you now." Auston asked Wayne to relax. They are all eager to settle the account. They are all busy and have no time. Pay attention to him.
"Are you sure?" Wayne was doubtful.
"Um."
"..."
Seeing that Auston didn't take it seriously, Wayne was very dissatisfied with his old father-in-law. He was about to complain, but Auston interrupted him again.
"The obelisk is gone, and Orb's ancient silver coins are also lost. These two items are the property of the Ministry of Magic. To be honest, are they in your hands?" Auston looked at Wayne.
Wayne shook his head directly. He had no ability to take away the obelisk, and he didn't even see the ancient silver coins. He would not bear the blame.
Megan: “…”
"It's best this way. These two items are very important and the Ministry of Magic will not give up on the pursuit." Auston warned, lowering his head and playing with the ancient silver coins.
After Wayne got up and left the study, he took out another ancient silver coin.
The things are a bit hot to the touch, but there is no reason to turn away the treasure you picked up for free. Think about other uses for ancient silver coins.
Orb tried his best to remind everyone that there are many ways to use ancient silver coins. Don't stick to formalities and be bold, anything is possible.
Alston was convinced, and while playing with the ancient silver coins, he thought about the possibilities.
Bang!
There was a loud noise and the glass shattered.
Auston was stunned for a moment, with a look of ecstasy on his face, and quickly rushed to the window, sticking his head out and showing his molars in joy.
"That's great!"
He didn't fly today, that's the point.
————
Time goes back to two minutes ago.
Wayne walked out of the study and as soon as he closed the door, he was grabbed by the collar by Veronica who was waiting.
He waved to Meghan, but the effect was average. The butler's eyes were dull, as if he was sleepwalking.
Veronica dragged Wayne to the end of the corridor, raised her fist and lowered it, then raised it again as she became angrier as she thought about it.
She wanted to ask clearly in person, but her reserve and shame prevented her from speaking. She gritted her teeth and said to Wayne: "What did you two talk about, what is the future of the family, and why didn't Megan let me go?" Shall I go in?"
"This stuff is so dark and Meghan is doing it for your own good."
Wayne patted Veronica on the shoulder and smiled smartly: "I'm different. You know how good I am. It's easy to blend into the darkness."
Veronica's face changed and she was speechless.
"Leave it to me to handle it, as long as you are happy."
Wayne put his arm around Veronica's shoulders and hugged her unprepared: "Believe me, you are very important. Auston wants to protect you, and I want to protect you too. It's that simple."
Veronica lay in Wayne's arms, smelling the smell of society's garbage, with extremely complicated thoughts.
"By the way, the identity of my family's heir will be confirmed in a few days. You must be mentally prepared for the engagement..."
Bang!
Wayne broke out of the window, smashed the window behind him, and flew far away.
The man touched his chin in mid-air and continued: "The engagement has not been decided yet. I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet, because I am not in a hurry at all."
Veronica snorted angrily and looked in the direction of the grove. Passing by the door of the study, she noticed Megan's sympathetic look and snorted again.
What's there to sympathize with? If she doesn't nod, the engagement will never be valid, and social trash will never even think of touching her in this life.
…
As for Wayne, he covered his face and returned to the young master's exclusive villa.
The swelling has not subsided, but it will be useful if I keep it. It will be sold badly at breakfast time tomorrow.
"You started so quickly. I also want to tell you that the senior sister you admire is lying in my bedroom..."
Veronica was still irritable tonight, so Wayne decided to let her go for a few more days. He opened the room where Mona was and took a look. She was still awake, so he went next door to check on Chris.
When I entered the door, I saw the senior sister sitting by the bed, her eyes were cold and ruthless.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chris woke up, came to him cautiously, and asked with concern: "Wayne, what's the matter with the injury on your face?"
"While rescuing you, one of you was accidentally hit. The minor injury will be swollen tomorrow." Wayne told Chrissy not to take it to heart.
Liar, he was obviously beaten by Veronica!
Chris knew it well and respected Wayne's lie.
Just think about it, Wayne fought hard to save her, it was a miracle that he survived, he must have been beaten a lot.
This is a true statement!
She raised her hand to touch Wayne's cheek, her fingertips dizzy with the moonlight, reducing swelling and blood stasis, and said gently: "Does it still hurt?"
"One more thing. I have a simple method that will give you immediate results." Wayne pointed to his face and whispered to Chris.
Chrissy blushed and nodded, stood on tiptoes and kissed Wayne on the face.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It's been transferred, and my mouth is starting to hurt."
With a smile in her eyes, Chris opened her lips and tapped the corner of Wayne's mouth.
"What now?"
"..."
No, senior sister, are you serious?
Wayne pursed his lips, savoring the aftertaste of the fragrance. Seeing Chris lowering her head and making no move, a hot-blooded man pressed her against the wall.
Lower your head, get your hands on, sweep...
