Chapter 330: Upright and not approachable to women
In late October, Delaine left and went to the mirror space of the other world.
Before leaving, he told Chris and Philomena to work hard and gave each of them a dragon tooth sword in recognition of their devout faith and outstanding contributions to the Moonlight Church.
The two of them accepted the gift with a guilty conscience, dedicating themselves to their faith was just an external statement. They didn't think much of it at the time and were just in love.
If I have to say what outstanding contributions he made, well, Wayne is quite outstanding.
Delaine's departure made many people sigh with relief. She was so powerful that she was a great deterrent wherever she was, both to her enemies and to her own people.
Without Delaine's poker game, Philomena can finally go back to the office and work overtime.
The Wayne House, the High Priest Manor, and the Landau Manor formed a front line alliance. One large and three small children formed an encirclement and joined forces to resist the malicious Anastasia.
They will protect the purity of the saints of the Dark Church!
Soon, Wayne learned the news from Weili and burst into laughter. In order to commend Erwuzi for his achievements, he was deceived by Weili nine times in one night.
Immediately afterwards, at the suggestion of Erwu Zai, a front alliance was reached, and secretary Mona was invited to join.
Wayne House, High Priest Manor, Landau Manor, Detective Agency, the iron walls are impregnable.
This feels solid!
…
As November approaches, the temperature in Lundam becomes cooler.
Wayne caught the last train to cool down and organized a group trip to the beach, where he saw the seaside again.
Delaine was there that day. She had no interest in swimming. She set up a card table on the beach and dragged Wayne to continue playing cards.
Landau Manor, family dinner.
Wayne didn't know how many family dinners he had attended, and he had long been accustomed to it, but he still retained his good habit of flirting with Veronica, and would suddenly blush every time his eyes came into contact with her.
Wayne: (ω)
Veronica had nothing to do with this face. Every time she saw it, her fists itched. She gave him a fierce look and asked him to come and take the flight after dinner. .
I can't fly today, I have to do something big.
Wayne glanced at Auston and asked him to speak. The latter slowly picked up the napkin, and when the dinner was coming to an end, he called the whole family to the study for a meeting.
Meghan stood in the study room and set up a soundproof barrier.
"The delegation from the Papal State arrived to discuss with the Queen the issue of the division of faith in the Holy See of Heavenly Father. Under my suggestion, the Queen allowed the Holy See of Heavenly Father to spread the glory of the Father..."
"The expansion of the Sun Church has also been put on the agenda, and we will be in contact with the Sun Church soon."
"Since the declaration of war, Prussia has not expanded externally again. It has maintained a delicate balance with the Rosch Federation. The two sides do not invade each other. At the same time, they are rectifying the surrounding small countries and forcing them to take sides."
"After clearing the surrounding small countries, Prussia will use its troops against Frank..."
"Windsor and Frank's sea routes have recently been attacked by unknown underwater targets. They should be Prussian submarines. They are very good at this..."
"Next year, the war will definitely start!"
Auston informed Wayne of the political affairs of Buckingham Palace, and also told Heaphy, who was the high priest of the Church of Nature. This war is very likely to lead to conflicts between churches. Heaphy must understand the current world structure. .
Compared with the world structure, the overt and covert conflicts between the churches are more important. There are two knights of darkness and death in the family. Auston hopes that Heifei will quit his job as soon as possible because his son is a death knight.
The effect is average. Auston believes that Wayne is the Death Knight, and Heaphy firmly believes that he is the Nature Knight. There is no wrong answer to this question.
Wayne nodded while listening. The arrival of the Papal State delegation meant that Archibald and Kerr left Lundam. He had not paid attention to it, and was not curious about how Kerr lived in his small life in the Papal State.
Judging from Jiao Huang's behavior, we know that Kerr must be under great pressure to go there. Maybe the nuns are lining up at the door at this time, waiting for the baptism of the Holy Spear.
Don't tell me, Kerr really has a holy spear, stamped with the seal of heaven, produced by an angel, and the quality is guaranteed.
As for the idea that Kerr's aesthetics are too weird and it would be difficult for the Papal State to find his dream lover, this idea is unnecessary. With Huang's ability, he can definitely find her if he looks for it.
Seeing that his family members had digested the latest information, Auston continued: "Let's talk about family affairs next. Xifei, you are preparing to be promoted to the legendary mage recently, right?"
"What, do you have an idea?"
"No, I just care about the dragon's blood curse."
"snort!"
"ha!"
The salty dog food made it difficult for Wayne to swallow, so he took up the topic and said: "Teacher, when Teacher Senna left, she explained to me that the dragon's blood curse is not unsolvable. During this time, Auston and I have been doing The research has a sound theoretical basis and good clinical data, so it’s time to start.”
Clinical data comes primarily from Juno.
After the fall of the royal family, Juno cut off contact with Wayne, without even a phone call to say hello.
The contact was one-sided, with Wayne confirming through Pale Nest that Juno was stable and had no adverse postoperative symptoms.
Cushing and Anastasia also provided some data. The latter is currently emotionally stable and has no turbulent thoughts as long as they don't meet. The former's good feelings remain at the level of buddies even if they meet.
Juno and Cushing's symptoms demonstrate that as long as they don't know who they truly believe in, uncontrolled shifts in thinking cannot occur.
At the same time, it also proves that Senna and Anastasia's self-destruction is somewhat related to Wayne's own will.
He rejected Juno and Cushing, who had no extra thoughts about faith. Without interference from others, they only had the most basic respect for faith, and their true faith never changed.
Cushing devoutly believes in the sun goddess, while Juno, as a free mage, wears a fake skin of an angel and only believes in himself.
Senna and Anastasia...
Wayne coveted their bodies, and it was useless not to admit it. Subconsciously, he wanted the two of them to get close to him, so they couldn't control themselves.
Anastasia's condition is slightly better. Wayne covets the body of the black-skinned female elf and at the same time respects her noble moral character from the bottom of his heart, so his condition can be controlled.
It has been such a long time since the evolution of pollution, and she has never been able to bear it like Senna and directly revealed her cards.
The stone hanging in Wayne's heart fell, and he set a time for the operation with Auston, and put the credit on Auston, preparing to have Auston perform the operation as a middleman.
This is a safeguard against failed surgery.
As for Veronica's surgery, Wayne will definitely perform it himself.
The two dragons were confused, and because of their trust, they didn't say much. They just snorted twice to show their dissatisfaction.
Xifei blamed Auston for studying the dragon's blood curse without consulting her, and suspected that Wayne had bad intentions in approaching Senna because Senna had the secret to crack the dragon's blood curse.
Tsundere is like this. She is obviously very moved, but she doesn't say anything.
If you ask again, call.
————
The camera turned and came to the underground base of Landau Manor.
At Wayne's request, Megan prepared two separate operating rooms, with a strange mechanical device in the middle, heavy tank style, multi-turret branch of the cult.
The Pale Lair is hidden in it, Megan doesn't know it, only Auston knows it.
Veronica and Xiffy, dressed in dragon scale battle suits, lay on the operating table under the command of nurse Megan.
The chief surgeon, Wayne, put on medical gloves and glanced at Auston next to him. Everything was ready to start.
Auston frowned slightly, took out a magic stone carrying life energy and put it in Xifei's hand. Wayne did the same thing.
Dragon evolution requires choice.
Dragon is a powerful life form with infinite possibilities. According to different beliefs, the evolutionary branches of dragons are different, such as Senna's green dragon and Megan's black dragon.
Auston ruled out dark faith at the first opportunity. As a dark knight, he was not devout in his belief in the dark goddess.
Wayne feels the same way, not to mention that Heaphy is very repellent to the darkness and does not want her beliefs to be contaminated. Even if she and Auston allow it, Wayne will stop it.
The Dark Goddess has set her sights on him, and he can no longer pass chips to the Dark Goddess.
Of course, the life energy in the magic stone is just a cover.
Wayne explained that the source was the energy of the Nature Knight, the divine power given by the Goddess of Nature. After Siffy and Veronica evolved into the green dragon form, their faith never changed.
In fact, the evolution of the two has nothing to do with nature. They just put on a layer of green dragon skin. The essence of their evolution lies in the void.
Wayne obtained knowledge from the Void, and then transferred this knowledge to the Pale Nest to teach Siffy and Veronica.
"Teacher, according to the information provided by Teacher Senna, although the dragon blood curse manifests itself in various forms, its core lies in the traceability of dragon blood. Dragon blood reproduces and expands from top to bottom. There is only one giant dragon to trace its origin... "
"If you want to avoid this giant dragon's control over the descendants of the bloodline, you must find a higher being that the dragon cannot interfere with, or that can surpass it."
"Teacher Senna chose the goddess of nature, and so did you two. You are both disciples of the goddess of nature. Is this arrangement okay?"
Xifei has no problem, as long as it’s not the same colorful black color as Auston, she has no problem; Veronica has no problem, because no matter what the choice, Wayne has the corresponding God’s Chosen Knight status, and it doesn’t make any difference which one he chooses. .
The operation begins!
Wayne pretended to activate the mechanical device, pressed a few buttons, pulled several metal ropes around Veronica's hands and feet, and built a device similar to a respirator.
I don’t know how powerful it is, but it’s very powerful at first glance.
Wayne was familiar with pollution, and easily led Veronica onto the path of void life evolution through the Pale Lair. Auston's side was a little more complicated, and Heaphy's evolution needed to be guided by his thinking.
This is to prevent the operation from failing and causing Xifei's maternal love to deteriorate. Although the possibility is extremely low and can almost be ignored, it is still necessary to take precautions.
With the help of Wayne, Auston completed the trap and used his own thinking to guide Heaphy to start evolving.
The mother and daughter hold the magic stone in their hands, and huge life energy pours into their bodies. Veronica is still some distance away from the golden mage, and she herself will not change much.
Otherwise, Xifei's evolution was out of control at the beginning. Every part of her body showed the characteristics of a giant dragon. At first, there were fine white scales, and then a layer of green gradually appeared.
Wayne glanced at Megan and felt that this layer of green meant something.
So, once the matter is done, it’s not a problem to keep putting it off!
Because both of them are very important people to Wayne, the pace of evolution this time is very slow, and every detail is strived to be correct.
Half an hour later, Veronica's evolution ended first, and her half-dragon form was very similar to what Xiffy had shown.
Wayne checked carefully and confirmed that the other party's belief was that the goddess of nature was disguised by Pale Lair. He secretly thought that he was sure, reshaped his thinking, and added a white hospital gown to his combat uniform.
Megan took over, pushing Veronica's hospital bed far away.
The space in the underground base is limited, and Xifei's body is getting bigger and bigger, showing more and more characteristics of the green dragon. Three hours later, the giant dragon with a body length of 100 meters occupied the entire base. It looked graceful from a distance, but looked ferocious up close. It was a complete evil dragon.
It’s very similar to Senna’s green dragon style.
Under the skin of the green dragon, there are the essential characteristics of the void life. It exists in imitation of the green dragon. It is not a problem to confuse the fake with the real one.
Wayne felt that this was a sure thing to prevent the tragedy of popping the champagne at halftime, allowing Auston to stabilize his thinking. Ninety-nine steps had been taken, and success or failure depended on this one move.
It was smooth sailing, there was no sudden crisis, and there was no source of dragons suddenly coming out to cause trouble, intending to destroy the ritual of evolution.
Xifei is done!
Rumble————
The underground base rumbled and shook. The green dragon raised its body and ravaged the base into ruins. The 100-meter-long dragon body broke out of the ground. In the background was Alston fleeing in embarrassment.
Wayne carried Veronica on his back and stood with Megan watching the show.
As the evil dragon roared, a whirlpool of flames roared out and sprayed directly towards the location of Auston. The latter had no choice but to transform into the Dark Knight and fought three moves. Unfortunately, he was pinned to the ground by the dragon's claws and rubbed against him.
"Just pamper her..."
Wayne whispered, asking Megan to prepare the medical kit, especially bandages, the more the better, Auston will be a big seller tonight.
Salty middle-aged dog food is not suitable for young people to taste, so Wayne carries Veronica back to the young master's villa.
No one stopped Heaphy's violence, not to mention that Auston enjoyed it, who dared to stop his first act. Just talking about the destructive power shown by Xifei, it has obviously been restrained. Not many things have been demolished. It is just an underground base. A new one will be built tomorrow.
Not short of money!
————
The next day, Wayne went out feeling refreshed.
The dragon's blood curse was solved, the operation was flawless, and a big stone fell to my heart. Not to mention how relaxed it was.
He felt more and more the importance of research. Just as the new magic part was completed, a new research team was formed in Bonn. All the experimental equipment and materials were moved in. There was no deputy minister/team leader to cut the ribbon, and he gave a passionate speech by the way, so he simply drove there. Wandered around for a while.
The new branch is located in the South District of Lundan. Because the gray space has been almost hollowed out by Wayne, the fog in Lundan at night has become thinner and thinner. The magical fog that enveloped Lundan has gradually become a thing of the past. With the continuous growth of the nighttime economy, the originally barren area The two southeastern districts have successively received commercial investment.
These are all things for later, and the impact will not be seen in a short time. With the shadow of the war continuing to brew, there is no hope of economic boom in the two southeastern districts in the past two years.
It would be a blessing not to surrender.
The completed laboratory is divided into two parts. Area A is led by Bonn and continues to study void life, mainly the flesh and blood of starry sky beasts. The resources are precious, mainly because the raw materials are difficult to obtain.
There is only one person in Area B, Wayne. His research topic is hell. He has inherited the legacy of former hell expert Frank and is still sorting out the information. He has just created a folder.
Research materials are urgently needed.
The best research material is undoubtedly the devil in hell, or at least the familiar, but obviously, even if Wayne has this ability, he can't find a familiar to capture.
Paris may have, but he can't go, it's too messy there, God knows how many devils are squatting in the grass.
I hope the angels from the Holy See will act faster and send an army to clean up as soon as possible.
"Deputy Minister, we are running out of experimental materials in stock."
Bonn came to Area B in a hurry. The so-called experimental material was the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast. This stuff was extremely polluting. Generally, only the church had well-preserved flesh and blood.
When he heard that buying flesh and blood required extra money, Wayne immediately became unhappy: "You are an elite of the Ministry of Magic. It is not easy for the country to train you. Don't think about allocating funds whenever you encounter problems. You have to learn to hunt by yourself."
Today is different from the past. It was okay for Wayne to set fire to the warehouse himself. But when he saw others setting fire to the warehouse, he was the first to stand up and defend the Queen.
The God's Chosen Continent is not Europe. There are not so many colonies to make money. The queen's crown jewels are not many. If she continues to dig them, the queen will have to go to nightclubs to earn living expenses to support her family.
"Deputy Minister, I also want to go hunting in the void, but conditions don't allow it!"
Bonn said distressedly: "You don't know, now..."
"Um?!"
"Sorry, I made a mistake."
Bonn took the initiative to admit his mistake and corrected him: "Deputy Minister, you have just taken office, and before I have time to report to you, there is a void worm squatting around the node where Lundan and the void coincide. I don't know what this guy is thinking, and he won't leave even if he squats. ”
"Ah, it turns out it's the same one!"
When Wayne learned about this, he suddenly realized that no wonder he would encounter a void worm every time he entered the void.
The question is, what are the void worms squatting on?
"Bonn and Lundan's space nodes are blocked. Wouldn't it be better to go to other cities? Use your brain. Do you still need me to teach you such a simple truth?" Wayne reprimanded with the authority of the leader.
"Other cities can't do it either. The God's Choice Continent seems vast and is not worth mentioning to the entire void. The entire God's Choice Continent almost shares a space node. Even if I set off from the Frozen Continent and enter the void, I will still encounter that void. Worms." Bonn said helplessly.
It’s true!
Wayne slapped his head and said speechlessly: "What does that void worm mean? What is it waiting for?"
"I don't know. There is no reliable speculation yet. It may be because of Orb. He is a legendary mage. He is addicted to void worms and wants to be a few more legendary mages."
Bonn complained again and again. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. Several churches were guarding the flesh and blood of the starry sky behemoth without worrying that no one would buy it. They raised their prices one by one.
Bonn looked at Wayne eagerly and knew that the prince had improper relations with several churches and had taken many wild paths.
Now, it's time for the prince to show his talents.
Wayne curled his lips and said, "Follow the normal process of applying for a grant and have Auston and the Queen sign it. Once the money is paid, I will go and talk to the church in person."
"Then, what is the specific amount of funds applied for?"
"How did you do it before?"
"Based on the market price, plus 30% more." Bonn smiled like an inexperienced old man.
Insect!
A bunch of insects!
No wonder the Ministry of Magic is on fire every day, and even the Queen occasionally sets fire to it. With your money-making attitude, the Queen and the Princess can't fill the hole even if they go to Landau's house to make a living together.
Wayne rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I'm new here. I don't want to break the rules. I'll add 30% to the market price. Give me the money and I'll negotiate in person."
"Deputy Minister, as the country's crown prince, you have to fight on the front line and try your best to save money for the country. We who are subordinates are really incompetent." Bonn said expressionlessly.
"Being patriotic, you should be."
Wayne patted his chest. He had opened up several channels for the country early. As long as the money was in place, he could immediately contact the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast.
It just so happened that tonight I was going to sit at Anastasia's house to inject the energy chosen by the five gods into the statue of the Dark Goddess.
I just took this opportunity to ask Anastasia if the Dark Church had any starry sky beast flesh and blood for sale at a discount.
If you can earn 70% with tears in your eyes, that would be great.
————
Night, West End.
A manor in Wayne's name, currently Anastasia's residence.
At first glance, it seemed that he was Wayne's adopted lover, but in fact he was not. As the heir of the Landau family, he expressed his intention to help the Dark Church.
The manor was arranged by Fula, but Fula didn't care whether she was a saint or not, or whether she wanted to remain pure. She only knew that Wayne rarely paid special attention to his female friends. Anyone who did take care of him basically became a wife.
Therefore, the manor was extremely luxuriously furnished, and those who didn't know it thought Anastasia was corrupt.
In the splendid living room, Anastasia was dressed in a long black dress, her exquisite appearance specially dressed up, and she personally made a pot of black tea to entertain Wayne.
A faint fragrance hit him, tickling the tip of Wayne's nose. He noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, and said businesslikely: "Your Excellency, does the Dark Church have a collection of the flesh and blood of starry sky beasts? How much is it selling for now?"
"I don't know. If Mr. Wayne wants it, I can give you a few copies on behalf of the church."
Oh my god, that’s not making 130% in tears!
This is too stupid!
Wayne shook his head slightly: "Forget it as a gift. Let's go with the market price, whatever it is. Although you are a saint, the administrative power of the Dark Church is in the hands of the Pope. Don't let yourself owe him a favor."
"The Pope is my father."
"..."
Good guy, you are still a second generation.
Wayne was in awe. They say that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Anastasia has had enough food and clothing since she was a child. After becoming successful and famous, she maintained a lifestyle like an ascetic, instead of being rotten by the fine clothes. A sincere heart shows how noble the other person's character is.
For a time, Anastasia shone even brighter in Wayne's eyes.
Wayne made a comparison and found that most of the people he knew had some flaws, but Anastasia was the only one who was noble and holy and couldn't find any flaws.
If only she were my saint!
Wayne suddenly thought that if Anastasia really couldn't go back, it would be a good idea for him to take it and use it himself.
After thinking about it, he shook his head slightly. He had no idea of forming a sect.
A person must be self-aware. His style of painting is the most extreme form of a cult and evil force. Stop harming the people.
"The black tea is very good. Thank you for the hospitality, Your Majesty the Holy Lady. Let's talk about business."
Wayne drank the black tea in one gulp, asked Anastasia to help contact the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast, and then went to the basement with him to start the agreement with the Dark Goddess.
The Dark Goddess kept secrets for Wayne. In contrast, Wayne injected the energy chosen by the five gods into the statue.
That is the magic power of the five magic stones on his chest that converged when he merged with nature.
Wayne knew that this was not the true purpose of the Dark Goddess. The other party probably looked down on this kind of magic power, so he did not hide his secrets and was very careful when injecting it.
Behind her, Anastasia narrowed her eyes slightly, as if the goddess of darkness had logged into her account.
Her saint is pure and pure, virtuous and virtuous, her knight is upright and unfeminine, and her body in the human world is always pure.
This is not possible, she still hopes to get information from Wayne!
Since Anastasia is unwilling to come out in full force and Wayne has been standing still, she can only push him.
You two, move!
