Chapter 229 Young man, do you want to become a natural knight?
January 29, hotel suite.
The rising twilight shines into the house through the window. The black-haired elf sitting cross-legged is bathed in the sun, covered with a layer of hazy light, dazzling and elegant, and the picture is full of mysterious beauty.
Wayne is working hard towards small goals. Repeated failures have not dampened his enthusiasm. Instead, he has become more and more courageous, and has been trying to communicate with nature.
Hey, I don’t believe it because of my bad temper!
Once you fail too many times, the meaning of success changes. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is that simple.
From last year to now, he has changed many postures and shapes, attacked new assumptions again and again, summed up the lessons from failures, and eliminated wrong answers.
After spending the past two days calming down and practicing, I unexpectedly discovered that the elf form is in perfect harmony with nature.
I was instantly full of energy and only rested for three hours a day, using my sleeping time to practice hard.
The effect is there, but there is still a gap between it and expectations.
Wayne was certain that elves had an inevitable connection with nature. The reason why he failed was because his elf form was not perfect and something was missing.
The three beliefs of nature, sun, moonlight, and life alliance are put together. The three are balanced and impartial. The formula is applied perfectly. Logically speaking, there should be no flaws.
Always a little worse.
Wayne blamed his level being too low and it was too early for him to communicate with nature as a silver mage. The gold and legendary mage stages should be stable.
This speculation is just a hypothesis and cannot be a final conclusion.
Take Philomena for example.
Philomena is a guaranteed golden mage, half a step to the peak of perfection, and only one step away from the legendary mage. She is also an elf, and there are no traces of communication with nature on her body.
Wayne knew Philomena's body and mind very well, he had touched them all, and he was so proud that he was about to touch them.
He is a senior expert on Philomena and he said there are no traces, absolutely not.
Philomena proved that Wayne's hypothesis was not valid, but Wayne still had luck. People and their physiques cannot be generalized. Just because Philomena couldn't do it, it didn't mean that he couldn't do it.
At the golden mage stage, he will definitely be able to communicate with nature without any barriers.
Now, all I can do is brush up on my proficiency.
Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door.
Wayne opened his eyes, dispelled his elf form, stood up, walked through the living room and opened the door.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Veronica frowned and glanced at Wayne. He only had a pair of pants and his figure was not bad.
Another look.
After Wayne transformed into an elf, his body increased to two meters, so he took off his clothes in advance.
He didn't explain the real reason, but winked and said: "There are people watching around. We can't get too close. We can only use this method to give you benefits."
Bah, who cares!
Veronica snorted coldly: "Hurry up and put on your clothes. It's been three days. It's time to find the last Philosopher's Stone."
Three days ago, the two arrived at Winches. Wayne ignored the arranged script and speed-passed the level to obtain two Philosopher's Stones. The investigation team was overwhelmed, the cast and crew left, and the editor and director met to rewrite the script.
In order to show goodwill and get a good score, Wayne led Veronica around for three days, pretending that he was deceived by false clues, which made the investigation team breathe a sigh of relief.
Although this kid behaves randomly, he doesn't know any rules.
After receiving Wayne's kindness, the investigation team rearranged the script. It was still the abandoned church and the same NPCs, but it was slightly more difficult.
Charlotte, the leader of the investigation team, personally stepped in and recruited four members of the Silver Mage to put on human skin masks and pretend to be NPCs to stay in the abandoned church.
There is no room to fight back when being beaten.
This is the last stubbornness of the investigation team!
The mission is not over yet, the investigation team's scores have been assigned.
After removing the highest and lowest scores and taking the average, Wayne, who is messy but understands the rules, scored 80, and Veronica, who wanted to follow the rules but was led astray, scored 95. After picking a few problems that were not problems, the written report was Done.
If there are no problems with the two members of the secret group, the list of two candidates for the Windsor Division can be considered finalized.
"It's a bit early, but forget it, I'll change clothes, let's go downstairs and have breakfast before setting off."
Wayne glanced at the clock on the wall and said while changing clothes: "With any luck, we can return to Lundan this afternoon. How about it? It's rare for us to go on a long trip alone, and Willy didn't follow us. Before returning, she and I Let’s go on a date.”
"My mother warned me before we went out that we are candidates and many pairs of eyes are watching. I advise you not to mess around." Veronica tilted her head and handed over the shirt. Seeing Wayne raise his arms, she signaled to help him get dressed. , just pretended not to see anything.
"What does it matter? We are brother and sister. It is normal for brothers and sisters to go shopping and watch movies."
"It's abnormal. There are no such siblings."
"That's because you haven't seen it before..."
Wayne muttered, being rejected for a date, with disappointment written all over his face.
Veronica was also a little disappointed. In the past few days, the two had been getting along day and night but deliberately kept a distance. They were worried about gains and losses. She always felt that Wayne had moved on and didn't like her anymore.
Damn Willy!
Although, Veronica thinks it's Willy's fault and plans to give her some color after she goes back.
————
8 a.m., abandoned church.
This church is located on the outskirts of the city. It was originally located in a village. With the transformation of the city's industrialization, rural people poured into the city to work, and the church was abandoned along with the village.
Eight hundred meters away from the church, there is a newly built cemetery area. A little further away, there is the former royal cemetery in Windsor, which is well-preserved and guarded by dedicated personnel.
Wayne drove to the abandoned church and walked in side by side with Veronica. In the corner, several NPCs dressed as homeless people were boiling potatoes in an iron pot.
"Andrew, the black magician, you are wanted by the church for repeatedly stealing and leaking the magic of your faith without authorization. Some time ago, you also stole the Philosopher's Stone from the cemetery..." Wayne gestured crookedly, and his words were sonorous and powerful. What he said was righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Andrew, you have been convicted of many crimes, do you have anything else to quibble with?"
"..."
Andrew was speechless. In the original script, several NPCs turned around and ran away. During this period, there was a battle of wits and courage. After a passionate battle, clues to the Philosopher's Stone were left behind.
No need now, both candidates have proven their worth with force.
Under Veronica's speechless gaze, the black magician Andrew took out the stamped certificate from his arms and held the Church of Nature brochure in his hand: "You are late. I am now a disciple of the goddess, and the Philosopher's Stone has been returned to me. I will never steal again.”
"It turns out we are one of our own, Mr. Andrew, first time we meet, I am Wayne, and this is my companion Veronica." Wayne changed his face in a second, regardless of whether Andrew was lying, which fully explained his belief Religion makes people strong; religion makes people stupid'.
Wayne sat down and talked with Andrew, who pointed the way and told the legendary story of the Philosopher's Stone.
It's a lot of nonsense, and the whole script is a script written by the screenwriter who stayed up late at night, and translated after removing the moisture. Andrew is a tomb robber, and he spent a lot of effort to get the Philosopher's Stone.
The Philosopher's Stone is owned by the Windsor royal family and is said to have the power to bring the dead back to life. It was collected by a member of the royal family and buried as a funerary object in the Royal Cemetery next door.
But according to Andrew's investigation, things are not that simple. The royal members who collected the Philosopher's Stone designed seventy-two empty tombs. The real Philosopher's Stone is not in the royal cemetery, but under this abandoned church.
Wayne: (一`一;)
New script, no one in the world knows Wei, and the royal family changed their surname to Cao.
Wayne realized what was going on and didn't complain. The investigation team deleted the fight scenes, which saved him a lot of time. He has to thank them.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the opponent will be beaten and afraid.
"As a disciple of the goddess of nature, I will definitely help you."
Andrew came to the dry well behind the abandoned church and read the lines according to the script: "Go through the tunnel, and at the end is the Philosopher's Stone, but be careful of traps and pay attention to the dangers in the shadows."
If you have been to the Robbery Cave and know how to get to the trap, come down with us!
Veronica thought so and looked sideways at Wayne. She believed in this external mind even more when she was out.
"Andrew, please be here to guard the Philosopher's Stone. You are a devout believer and have been inspired by the goddess's glory to become a new person. I believe the goddess will forgive you for the sins you have committed." Wayne still spoke righteously. .
Fair, just, just, and self-justified.
It was up to him to talk nonsense, and Veronica was convinced.
Before going down the well, Andrew kindly sponsored a flashlight. Wayne jumped into the bottom of the well first and whistled to signal safety for Veronica to follow.
The two walked through the tunnel one after another, encountering four-element magic traps, as well as hallucinogenic, parasitic and other spores, which they easily resolved.
It took ten minutes for the two of them to reach the end of the tunnel, where a stone wall blocked the way.
Wayne saw a line of words on the wall: Up is down, all is one.
"Common words about alchemy. This level tests your knowledge reserves. If you guessed it right, there is a mechanism nearby."
Wayne analyzed it and gave way to Veronica: "You solve the problem." Veronica nodded, raised her fist and smashed it on the stone wall. When the punch fell, the wall exploded and cracked. fracture.
Wayne blinked and patted Veronica on the head in relief: "She has a good mind and knows what she is good at."
"I'm not bad at thinking. Give me time and I can solve the mystery, but it's faster this way..." Veronica defended in a low voice.
"No problem, I'm not arrogant. I'm really praising you for using your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses to take the initiative. Veronica, you've grown up." Wayne covered his eyes, turned around and supported the wall, his shoulders twitching, seeing the child grow up Not to mention how happy I am.
Veronica punched Wayne with a dark face, kicked open the stone door in front of her, and arrived at a circular catacomb.
The tomb is spacious, and the elemental torches are always burning, illuminating various complex and obscure magic arrays on the walls.
Wayne was stunned and admitted that the director team was serious about it. Such a complicated plot arrangement would probably require overtime work for three days and nights.
In the center of the tomb, the sarcophagus was opened, and the knight's armor lay quietly inside, with his hands crossed on his chest, holding the blood crystal gem tightly.
The last philosopher's stone.
Wayne smelled a bit of alcohol in the air, and there was a heartbeat in the knight's armor, knowing that there was also an actor inside.
Wayne reached out to get the Philosopher's Stone. Suddenly, a mutation occurred. The knight's armor came to life. He jumped out of the sarcophagus and hit the wall. The magic circle was activated and disappeared into the portal.
"Children of the Beach, I've already shut you down and you're still adding drama!"
Wayne cursed and saw that it was a one-time transmission channel and the halo was about to go out. He hurriedly pulled Veronica and hit it against the wall.
The scenery in front of them changed drastically, and they found themselves in a deserted and dilapidated cemetery. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and there were many dead bones scattered on the ground.
"Running so fast, like a mouse..."
Wayne sniffed the smell of alcohol in the air, walked quickly through the tombstones, stopped in the middle of the cemetery, and said to the ground: "Come out, tomb robber, you can still be dignified now, otherwise I can only help you." You are decent."
As he spoke, he didn't give the other party time to react. Green magic was introduced into the ground. Tree roots and grass roots grew rapidly, turning into a large number of vine tentacles that rolled towards the knight's armor underground.
As Wayne raised one hand, the earth bag bulged, mud flew down, and the knight's armor wrapped in vines rose from the ground.
Seeing that the knight's armor was captured alive, the mutation appeared again. Green fluorescence bloomed all over the armor, and the tightly wrapped vines hung down, growing backwards into the soil.
The knight's armor regained its freedom, turned over in the air, and stood lightly on the tombstone.
He weighed the Philosopher's Stone in his hand: "Two candidates, the assessment process went too smoothly. I suspect that you cheated and made it slightly more difficult. Do you two have any objections?"
"What's the assessment? I don't understand what you're talking about."
Wayne loudly reprimanded the opponent for talking nonsense, leaving an afterimage on the spot. His fist broke through the air and went straight to the knight's armor face door.
So fast!
Hidden in the knight's armor, Gavin, the dark team's investigator, erupted with magic power at his feet and jumped into the air like a teleporter.
His control of magic power is extremely precise, he is as gentle as if it were nothing, and his posture is elegant as if he is really flying. It's not like Wayne, who relies on huge magic power and mainly uses a powerful brick to fly, no matter how wasteful it is.
"Young man, you want to get it from me..." Gavin shut up mid-sentence and crossed his hands in front of his chest.
Wayne's punch missed, and Veronica followed up, stepping on Wayne's shoulders and leaping into the air.
Combo skills!
A section of Veronica's arm was covered with fine white scales, and the edge of her fist penetrated the air, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake. Ripples spread around, and the surging wind blew away in an instant.
The air felt like a quiet cold pool blown up by the strong wind, and the ripples spread out instantly.
Powerful brick flying combination!
This time Gavin didn't dodge, he folded his hands on his chest, ready to test the quality of the dragon's blood.
It's embarrassing to say that as the deputy leader of the Natural Knights, he personally ended up bullying the smaller ones, but Wayne's operation forced him to come. The ten-person investigation team lost the face of the headquarters and worked hard for three days. It didn't even make any big noise.
What's the difference between this and surrendering? Isn't it shabby?
boom!
Veronica punched down, shattering the mittens on Gavin's arms. Thin iron blades shot out, rubbing against Veronica's facial skin and creating a series of sparks.
What a power this is!
As expected of Dragon Blood, it is only at the Silver Cross stage, and the essence of life is so powerful. How can gold and legend be worth it?
Gavin flew out upside down and sighed repeatedly in mid-air. He had read Veronica's file and found that she only had dragon blood and was not a favored one by God. It was a pity for her.
If Veronica is a favored person like her mother, this selection will definitely be stable.
Fortunately, the problem is not big. Those who are favored by gods are not born. If Veronica can become a saint, it is natural that she will become the favored one of the goddess. With dragon blood + being favored by gods, she is omnipotent in magic and martial arts and has no shortcomings.
Gavin gave Veronica full marks and looked forward to her future performance.
On the other side, Veronica stepped on the air, bursting out magic power continuously, catching up with Gavin in mid-air, blasting the air with her fist, and the terrifying force oppressed Gavin, unable to maintain balance.
Without the use of faith magic, Gavin could not fight against the dragon's blood, and he himself did not care much. He relied on his agile skills to use his strength to deal with Veronica.
Fight and retreat at the same time, not seeking victory, only assessing points.
Wayne watched from a distance, wondering that this actor was too powerful and a big shot. The director's team had limited funds and could not hire such a big shot.
No need to think, this is the investigator of the dark team.
Finally showed up!
Seeing Gavin and Veronica discussing, Wayne followed them calmly and picked up the fallen Philosopher's Stone on the way, declaring that the mission was completely completed.
Collect three Philosopher's Stones in four days, finishing eleven days ahead of schedule.
So, where is Flora, where is the beauty trap?
If he doesn’t knock on the door at night wearing stockings, he will go back to London.
boom!
With a loud noise, the air exploded with thunder, the mist expanded and spread, creating a storm.
Gavin was violently blasted away, and his body floated to the ground. During several bounces, he smashed into large trees along the way.
Veronica fell into the mud, and her feet were bound by tough vines. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of them.
These vines were so weird that they not only absorbed her magic power, but also interfered with its operation, repeatedly interrupting her thinking and preventing her from freely performing elemental magic.
"Wayne!"
Veronica called out the name of the summoned beast, telling it to stop watching the show and come over to help.
Wayne wandered to Veronica's side, put his five fingers together, cut the vines with the wind blade, held Veronica's shoulders and said: "Your turn is over, now it's my turn."
With that said, he put the Philosopher's Stone in Veronica's hand, took off the black suit, and unbuttoned the cuffs and collar.
During the steps, the body straightened up, and after three steps, the perfect elf with a height of two meters appeared in Veronica's eyes.
==(д|||)
Veronica took a breath, what a beautiful elf, I really want to...
Ah, she meant, what a strange transformation. When did the trash of society become an elf?
It shouldn’t be!
Like Philomena, Veronica fell into doubts about life, somewhat panicked, and suspected that Wayne's bloodline had deteriorated.
The appearance of the original ancient god cannot be said to be ugly, and it is not human at all. It took Veronica a long time to convince herself and reluctantly accepted Wayne's setting.
This day is not impossible.
Turning around, Wayne has fallen and become an elf.
It's a good thing, but what's the use of being beautiful? Veronica hates it. She would rather live with the tentacles than Wayne's current elf appearance.
"What a terrifying talent. This child has mastered divine magic."
Gavin marveled again and again, looking at the perfect elf in front of him, and hit a perfect score with his backhand. While marveling at Wayne's talent, he felt pity for him.
It is impossible for the Holy Son to appear in the church, not because it is impossible, but because it has long been a habit.
The version of the Holy Son or something is too advanced for the headquarters to accept, and it is even less likely for the believers to accept it.
He pushed aside his visor to reveal his true face, with sideburns and sleepy eyes. He took out the wine bottle from behind his buttocks, took a sip, and whispered to himself: "It would be better if you can't become a Holy Son. You can join the Knights of Nature. Now What kind of things are the younger generations? All of them have bodies but no brains. "
"Mr. Investigator, it's my turn now. Are you just going to watch, don't you want to try a few tricks?" Seeing Gavin lazily leaning against a tree and drinking, looking decadent, Wayne couldn't help but frown.
What a sloppy investigator.
Also, can I continue? I’m pretending half-heartedly, and it’ll be very uncomfortable if I’m not up or down.
"No need, I've already given the scores. The two of them are very good. Their strength and talent are top-notch. They haven't cheated. They are good enough to be candidates."
Gavin waved his hand, raised the jug, and the wine flowed down his beard. He didn't know it, and looked at Wayne intently: "Young man, do you want to become a natural knight?"
"Ah?!" x2
