Chapter 190 Successor Ceremony, Spy Identity Exposed
office.
Wayne held Philomena and sat on the high priest's chair, cuddling closely, sweet words one after another, using the classic PUA words of later generations, coaxing Philomena to be dizzy.
His version was so advanced that Philomena had no power to resist.
Wayne knew he shouldn't take this path, but now that it was over, he had no choice.
If there was anything wrong with Philomena, he was willing to take responsibility until the other party got tired, woke up, and no longer wanted him to be responsible.
Philomena lay on Wayne's shoulder, intoxicated by the delicious taste of love. She just wanted to pause time and stay together like this for the rest of her life.
In a daze, she thought of something important.
Whispered something in Wayne's ear.
"Hey, are you going to become a legendary mage?"
Wayne looked at Philomena in surprise. The Golden Mage was so difficult to deal with. The Legendary Mage...
No, there is no way out, we must go down.
"I learned a lot yesterday when I entered the Door of Truth."
Philomena's eyes were burning, and the more she looked at Wayne, the more curious she became: "I should not be able to accept this knowledge, but because you have used your hands and feet on me, some changes have occurred in my thinking."
"What changes?"
"It's my turn to ask you, what exactly did you do to me?"
Philomena mentioned that when Wayne took action, at the Capital Hotel, she was contaminated by the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast, and was rescued by Wayne when she was in a coma.
She didn't notice anything strange at the time. It was only when she entered the Gate of Truth yesterday that she noticed a change in her thinking.
Not only in her mind, but also in her body. She couldn't find the feeling that night, and she couldn't describe it clearly.
If you have to say it...
At that time she gradually understood everything!
This situation is very similar to the crazy forgotten one. Philomena can't figure it out. It is attributed to the evolutionary path of her little boyfriend, the blood of the original body + the appearance of the ancient god. This may be the reason why she is saved from madness.
Philomena's description was too vague, and Wayne didn't know whether he had similar abilities. When asked about the conditions for promotion to a legendary mage, Philomena explained them one by one, and finally said:
"The key to whether I can be promoted to a legendary mage depends on you..."
"Now is not the most appropriate time. The royal family does not allow the church within the territory to have legendary mages. I want to set a trap for them first."
"The church respects the agreement and will not send legendary wizards into Windsor, but if the golden wizard is promoted through hard work, the Ministry of Magic cannot go back on his words..."
Philomena tells her plan, completely ignoring that Wayne is from the Ministry of Magic.
Wayne nodded repeatedly, praising her wisdom while sweating for himself. The ladies are not stupid, so they have to be mentally prepared in advance.
At the same time, Wayne was very curious about the reason why he could help Philomena become a legendary mage, so he readily agreed.
He wants to see how much more power the Book of Greed has!
……
Wayne left the library without Chris, went straight to the sewers, and summoned Yulia to the outskirts of Lundan.
The Sealed Book has been kept by Yulia, and only her portal can find its specific location.
Wayne opened the sealed book and allowed his tentacles to search for the elemental fellows. At the same time, he used induction to find the location of another obelisk.
Very dazzling.
Without the seal suppressed by the Ministry of Magic, this obelisk that fell into the depths of the sea shone brightly, clearly indicating its location.
To the northwest of Lundan, the specific sea area is still unclear. You will have to get closer to know.
Wayne pondered for a moment. Windsor is a federal island country, consisting of two large islands separated by the sea.
If the obelisk happened to fall between two islands, not too close to Lundam, it wouldn't take long for the Ministry of Magic to retrieve it.
The obelisk must be fished out and put into the sealed book as soon as possible, otherwise, he will be forced to store the obelisk in the Ministry of Magic.
Thinking of those legendary wizards who ate people's food and did nothing to help others, Wayne had a headache and comforted himself that the Ministry of Magic was actually quite good.
If you change it to another country, such as the one across the sea, the religious forces in the country are complicated. The last king was pushed to the guillotine. Demons in the magic world are dancing in the territory. The Ministry of Magic established to protect national interests has been divided up by several churches.
It can be said that apart from Windsor and the Papal States, other countries in the God's Chosen Continent are not peaceful.
If it were this kind of living environment, Wayne's life would only be more difficult. Not to mention collecting the lost treasures and not being locked up in the basement by the priestesses to take turns painting, he would be thankful.
It’s really messy outside!
Wayne smoked Elemental Folks all afternoon, went to the library to pick up people in the evening, and after sending Chris home, drove to the manor to apply night cream to the high priest.
The process is very exciting.
Philomena was particularly proactive tonight, eager to learn and extremely talented. It was the same study with the same teacher, but Chris didn’t learn as fast as her.
Wayne wandered out of the manor. Instead of being a holy elf, he was clearly a blood-sucking goblin. If he hadn't been young, he would have dealt with it tonight.
When he thought about it, he was indeed young and vigorous. Philomena was not the same age as his aunt. In this fierce battle, he was facing an opponent. He should not be arrogant or discouraged, otherwise he would definitely lose.
"Damn it, if it wasn't for protecting Chris, how could she have taken advantage of her today, and how could she have been allowed to taste the sweetness!"
Wayne's hands holding the steering wheel were shaking. Thinking that he had to bear the weight and become a diplomat of the Ministry of Magic, he felt so aggrieved that the corners of his mouth rose up and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
The high priest smells so good!
The car stopped at the Wayne House, and Frau invited Wayne into the restaurant with a serious face. Without saying anything, he pushed the dining cart and served carefully prepared tonics.
Wayne looked embarrassed. He felt that Fula was overthinking it. He was strong and could handle a few female fairies, so he didn't need fancy supplements.
Who are you looking down on?
Nevertheless, in order to take care of his mood, Wayne had to pretend that he was very useful.
Show off three bowls!
Wayne quietly pushed open Chrissy's bedroom door. There was no one in the room. His eyes lit up and he went to his bedroom.
Still empty.
He dispersed his perception and found Chris in the study room, who was holding class notes and waiting for late students.
Senior sister is so nice!
Wayne pushed open the door and walked in, locked the study door directly, hugged Chris and gave her a deep kiss.
"Stop kissing, go to class first and make up for the two days of classes."
Chris showed off her authority and was held on her lap by the students to make up for the lesson. She was so proud and infatuated in one class that she didn't even know what she had taught.
After finally getting through to the end of get out of class, Wayne tried to cause trouble again, but Chris held his hand down.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Wayne wondered, if young people don't fall in love properly, why should they think about serious things all day long?
"The high priest wanted to accept me as his student, and he said it was your wish." Chris pursed her lips, not looking very happy.
"That's what she said?"
Wayne's mind turned around and he immediately understood Philomena's intention. He smiled and brushed his platinum hair: "Yes, that's what I meant. You are a disciple of the Moonlight Goddess. Only the church can truly protect you and become her student." No harm done.”
"But……"
Chris gritted her teeth and said, "The way she looks at you is wrong, it's clear... I know what she wants to do to you. You must be entangled by her if you come back so late."
She was at the scene and knew that Philomena had used a honey trap and was willing to pay any price to tie Wayne to the Moonlight Church's chariot.
Chris had a lot of thoughts about how Philomena touched Wayne's hand and had a candlelight dinner in the hotel with their arms linked.
No more.
It's not that Chris looked down on the high priest, she really looked down on him. He was so innocent that he had never even worn a short skirt.
"Chris, you talk so sourly!"
Wayne knew what happened as soon as he heard it, and said with a straight face: "I know what the high priest is thinking. Don't worry, I won't let her take advantage. As for her plan..."
Wayne kissed Chris: "It has been successful. Because of you, I will definitely stand by the Moonlight Church."
"Then she..."
"Just let her go. After a while, she will give up when she sees that her goal has been achieved. Don't even think about how old she is. She has never been in love before, and it is impossible for her to be in love in the future. People like this have only one thing in their minds. Magic and faith don’t play with real feelings.”
It’s true!
Chris nodded, she thought so too.
"Be her student and don't use me to provoke her. Women are the most jealous. She may not be emotional, but for the sake of comparison, she might do something incredible."
Wayne explained: "I still have a mission from the Ministry of Magic, so I can't refuse her request. Once you provoke her, I will be the unlucky one, and you will be the one who suffers."
Chrissy nodded first, then shook her head: "That's another woman, I won't be jealous." "Real or not, I'll try to see if it's sour or not."
Wayne choked, savored it carefully for a while, and said to the blushing Chris: "It's sour. It's obviously the resentment he has been holding in all afternoon."
After being exposed, Chris snorted and looked away indifferently.
"Come on, class is over, go to my bedroom, I have something good to show you."
"Short skirt again?"
"No skirt tonight."

November 21st.
In the past few days, Wayne has been walking on the wire rope and working hard, and his body fat rate has been reduced.
Xifei was very satisfied with the students' diligence. Without unremitting exercise, they would not reap the fruits of their hard work. She warned Veronica to learn from Wayne's hard-working spirit and not be outdone.
One dared to speak and the other dared to believe it, which made Wayne look silent.
He had reason to suspect that Veronica was a silly girl he picked up, with no trace of Auston on her body. In fact, she was Auston's biological son, and he regained his status as heir through marriage.
Today, Auston was dressed in formal attire and asked Meghan to groom Wayne from top to bottom.
One looked like a dog and the other sanctimonious walked into the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic side by side.
The Forestry Resources Planning Bureau has many office buildings, not to mention a certain deputy minister's office building that was sealed off. The senior management has one, and Alston himself also has one.
"The investiture ceremony is held once a year, and there are external political reasons. Your situation is complicated and you cannot be awarded the honor at Buckingham Palace. The place can only be at the Ministry of Magic." Auston said.
Wayne has no identity in society and only has an ID card. He is not qualified for external publicity. He was awarded the commendation because of his contribution to the Ministry of Magic.
Wayne didn't care. The so-called medals were actually the Queen's own achievements. The royal family never awarded anyone any awards. The annual medal ceremony was essentially a tribute to herself.
Queen: Under my wise leadership, he has achieved amazing things.
It has been like this in all dynasties, and it is the same wherever it is placed.
"The Queen's office building has an auditorium specifically for conferring honors on magicians, but first, you have to officially become the heir of the Landau family." Auston was a little unhappy.
He was unhappy, but Wayne was happy and said cheerfully: "Auston, you never said, how to confirm the heir of the Tulip family, and the engagement ceremony. When will the engagement ceremony be held?"
"Let's not worry about the engagement for now, I want to pick a bad day."
Auston said something and led Wayne to a large auditorium: "I don't just agree to be the heir. You need the unanimous approval of the fourteen Tulip families and more than half of the votes to become the heir."
"What if there is less than half or a tie?"
"As long as the Queen agrees."
"..."
Isn’t this unnecessary taking off your pants and farting?
Wayne rolled his eyes. He could think with Veronica's brain that today's voting session would definitely fail.
Without him, if the Tulip family recognizes each other, the heir can be determined internally, and it doesn't matter whether there is a queen or not.
You know, you know, you still have to go through the process.
Wayne followed Auston into the auditorium, which had a red carpet and floor-to-ceiling windows on one side that let in sunlight. The Windsor flag, map and portrait of the Queen were hung on the front wall.
It is surrounded by fourteen seats, with the crests of each family painted on the seats.
Wayne came to the open space in the center of the seats and looked around. Not all the fourteen families were present. Only five representatives came. Except for Auston from the Landau family, he only knew members from the Boswell family. Barney, Yvette of the Collins family.
The former looked enthusiastic and patted his chest to tell Auston that he would vote in favor today and would not embarrass his illegitimate son.
The latter just smiled at Wayne, and if nothing else happened, she would vote against it.
Wayne did not know the other two representatives, and Auston had no intention of introducing them. When they noticed Wayne's gaze, both gentlemen nodded.
Rupert Wilson, who comes from the Wilson family, is over 50 years old. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and is meticulously dressed. He is a very aura politician.
Some time ago, the Ministry of Magic was investigating internal traitors, and Auston followed the clues and found the Wilson family.
Although it was later proven that the Wilson family was not a traitor, there is a saying that once everything was fine, it would turn out to be something bad once it was found out. In order to clear the suspicion of being a traitor, the Wilson family did not hesitate to give Auston some benefits.
If nothing else, Rupert was here today to vote in favor. He was severely cut by Auston and had a very bad feeling about Wayne.
The last representative is from Julian, First Julian. He looks about thirty years old and looks to be the same age as Auston.
The situations of the two are also very similar. Their families are small and they are both engaged in business.
The difference is that Alston's wife and children sleep in the woods, while First is alone. He has no wife and children, only a bunch of lovers. The family's main industries are tobacco and lottery tickets.
Perhaps because he had done so many immoral things, he had many lovers but no children. To compensate, First built many orphanages in Windsor to adopt homeless children.
It was a very formal orphanage. Before Chris was adopted by Doreen, she stayed in the Julian family's orphanage for two years.
Strictly speaking, he is still Chris's benefactor.
Wayne didn't know much about this, he only knew that this man's eyes were evil and he was a bit lewd. Considering the characteristics of Windsor, he suspected that he was gay.
Except for the five representatives who were present, the remaining members of the Tulip family were absent. A crystal ball was placed on the seat, which could make a sound for voting.
What age is it? The magic projector hasn't been invented yet, so it doesn't keep up with the times at all.
Wayne groaned inwardly.
The host of the voting meeting was Yvette. The legendary mage was qualified enough to take charge of the meeting. All fourteen Tulip families were convinced.
There was nothing for Wayne to do at the meeting. All he had to do was show up and show his face. As the spokesperson, Auston would go through the entire process.
I saw Auston introducing Wayne to his colleagues with a dark face. He was a native of Lundam with a clean background. As the son-in-law of the Landau family, he had the right to inherit the family and was the next head of the family after him.
"Cough cough cough!" xN
For a while, the coughs kept coming.
First covered his mouth and snickered, Rupert pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses expressionlessly, and Barney opened his mouth wide, exclaiming that he had gained more knowledge and could still play like this.
Yvette complained and glanced at Auston, what time has it been, and she was still joking, but seriously, she is just an illegitimate child, it is not shabby to say it out loud.
Auston's face turned darker, emphasizing once again Wayne's identity, having no blood relationship with him, and not being an illegitimate child.
"..." xN
The audience was silent, and everyone was shocked.
"Auston, if you insist on arranging Wayne's identity this way, everyone... I actually have no objection."
Yvette said dryly, "I understand. For the sake of the pure blood of the family and the face of the family, the identity of the illegitimate child will not be disclosed and Wayne will take power in the name of his father-in-law."
Is it necessary? A blind person can tell that he is your son!
Barney clapped his hands with joy and decided to vote against today. Auston's operation is very interesting. On the day of the Landau family's wedding to the young lady, please be sure to send him an invitation.
Auston didn't bother to explain anything, just do whatever you want, as long as he knows it's not the case.
For the next five minutes, he read out the script without any conscience, and praised Wayne wildly, focusing on the good points and praising him in various ways.
Wayne: (ω)
I like it, love to hear it, talk more!
Auston couldn't speak anymore, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he slammed the manuscript on the table.
What kind of crappy copywriting, how did Megan write it, not a single word of truth, was it manipulated by Heaphy?
Megan expressed that she was wronged. She was not familiar with Wayne, so she used Auston as a template and wrote the opposite, and rushed out such a manuscript overnight.
Auston sat down panting, still a little nauseous, and his face looked bad.
Yvette blinked, confirmed that he had finished speaking, cleared her throat and said: "Dear representatives, Auston Landau recommended Wayne as the heir to the Landau family. If anyone has any objections, if not, enter now Voting session.”
"I have an opinion."
Here comes the troublemaker.
Rupert, the politician of the Wilson family, picked up a manuscript and looked at Wayne steadily: "According to my investigation of Mr. Wayne, he is not from Windsor. He is from Frank and is a very good espionage officer."
Wayne: "..."
It’s over!
What is supposed to come will come, and it will be exposed after all!
Rupert raised the document high and looked at Auston with a smile: "Mr. Landau, what are your thoughts on absorbing an enemy spy into the Tulip family? Are you also a Frank spy? Bar?"
————
Ten thousand words, please vote monthly.
Today is the last day to double the monthly pass and it will expire tomorrow.
