Chapter 190: Succession Ceremony, Spy's Identity Exposed

office.

Wayne held Philomena in his arms and sat on the high priest's chair, snuggling closely with her, saying sweet words one after another, using classic PUA rhetoric from later generations, and coaxing Philomena into a daze.

His version was so advanced that Philomena had no power to resist.

Wayne knew he shouldn't take this path, but things had come to this point and he had no choice.

If Philomena had done anything wrong, he would be willing to take responsibility until she was tired, woke up, and no longer wanted him to take responsibility.

Philomena lay on Wayne's shoulder, intoxicated by the deliciousness of love. She just wanted time to stop and they could stay together like this for the rest of their lives.

In a trance, she thought of an important thing.

Whispered something in Wayne's ear.

"Hey, are you going to become a legendary wizard?"

Wayne looked at Philomena in surprise. The Golden Mage was so difficult to deal with, and the Legendary Mage...

No, there is no way out, I have to keep going.

"I learned a lot from entering the Gate of Truth yesterday."

Philomena's eyes were burning, and the more she looked at Wayne, the more curious she became: "I should not have been able to accept this knowledge, but because you have manipulated me, my thinking has changed a little."

"What changes?"

"I should be the one asking you this. What on earth did you do to me?"

Philomena mentioned the time when Wayne took action, at the Capital Hotel, she was contaminated by the flesh and blood of the star beast, and was treated by Wayne when she was unconscious.

She didn't notice anything unusual at the time, but when she entered the Gate of Truth yesterday, she discovered that her thinking had changed.

It's not just her mind, it's her body too. She can't find the feeling she had that night, and she can't express it clearly by describing it.

If you have to say it...

At that time, she gradually understood everything!
This situation is very similar to that of the crazy Forgotten One. Philomena couldn't figure it out. She attributed it to her boyfriend's evolutionary path, the original body bloodline + the appearance of the ancient god. This might be the reason why she was spared from madness.

Philomena's description was too vague, and Wayne was not sure whether he had similar abilities. He asked about the conditions for becoming a legendary wizard. Philomena explained them one by one, and finally said:

"Whether I can become a legendary wizard depends on you..."

"Now is not the most appropriate time. The royal family does not allow the existence of legendary wizards in the churches within the territory. I have to set a trap for them first."

"The Church respects the agreement and will not dispatch legendary wizards to Windsor. However, if a golden wizard is promoted through hard work, the Ministry of Magic must not regret it..."

Philomena tells her plan, completely ignoring the fact that Wayne is from the Ministry of Magic.

Wayne nodded repeatedly, praising her wisdom while worrying for himself. This woman is not a naive person, and she needs to be mentally prepared for failure in advance.

At the same time, Wayne was very curious about why he could help Philomena become a legendary wizard, so he readily agreed.

He wanted to see how powerful the Book of Greed was!
……

Wayne left the library without taking Chris with him, and went straight to the sewer, summoning Yulia to the outskirts of London.

The Sealed Book has always been kept by Yulia, and only her portal can find its exact location.

Wayne opened the Book of Seals and let the tentacles search for elemental fellows, while at the same time searching for the location of another obelisk through sensing.

Very dazzling.

Without the seal of the Ministry of Magic, the obelisk that fell into the deep sea shone brightly, clearly indicating its location.

To the northwest of Lundang, it is not clear which sea area it is at the moment. We will only know when we get closer.

Wayne pondered for a moment. Windsor is a federal island country, which is mainly composed of two large islands, facing each other across the sea.

If the obelisk happened to fall between the two islands, not too far from Lundan, it would not take the Ministry of Magic much time to fish it out.

The obelisk must be fished out and put into the Book of Sealed Things as soon as possible, otherwise he will be forced to deposit the obelisk with the Ministry of Magic.

Thinking of those legendary wizards who ate other people's food but did nothing else, Wayne felt a headache and comforted himself that the Ministry of Magic was actually quite good.

If we change to another country, such as the one across the sea, the domestic religious forces are complicated, the last king was pushed to the guillotine, the magical world in the country is in chaos, and the Ministry of Magic established to protect national interests is divided up by several churches.

It can be said that, apart from Windsor and the Papal States, other countries in the Chosen Continent are not peaceful.

If it was this kind of living environment, Wayne's life would only become more difficult. Not to mention collecting the lost treasures, he should be thankful that he was not locked up in the basement by the priestesses and tortured.

It's really chaotic outside!

Wayne absorbed the elements for the whole afternoon, went to the library to pick someone up in the evening, sent Chris home, and then drove to the manor to apply night cream to the high priest.

The process is very erotic.

Philomena was particularly proactive tonight, eager to learn and extremely talented. Even though they were both studying and had the same teacher, Chris couldn't learn as fast as her.

Wayne staggered out of the manor. This was not a holy elf at all, but a blood-sucking goblin. If he wasn't young, he would have died tonight.

But then he thought, it is true that he is young and full of energy, but Philomena is also as old as his aunt. In this fierce battle, he is a worthy opponent, so he must not be arrogant or discouraged, otherwise he will definitely lose.

"Damn it! If it wasn't for protecting Chris, I wouldn't have been controlled by her today, and how could I have let her get away with it!"

Wayne's hands were shaking as he gripped the steering wheel. Thinking about how he had to bear the weight of his breasts and really become a diplomat of the Ministry of Magic, the corners of his mouth curled up in grievance, but he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.

The high priest smells so good!

The car stopped at Wayne's house. Fla seriously invited Wayne into the restaurant. Without saying anything, she pushed the food cart and served him carefully prepared supplements.

Wayne looked embarrassed and felt that Fla was overthinking it. He was strong and could easily deal with a few female fairies. He didn't need any fancy supplements.

Who are you looking down on?
But since Flah had such good intentions, Wayne had to pretend that he was very touched in order to take care of his feelings.

I had three big bowls!
Wayne quietly pushed open Chris's bedroom door. The room was empty. His eyes lit up and he went to his bedroom.

Still empty.

He spread his senses and found Chris in the study, who was holding class notes and waiting for late students.

Senior sister is so nice!

Wayne pushed the door open and walked in, locked the study door directly, then hugged Chris and gave her a deep kiss.

"Don't kiss me, go to class first and make up for the past two days of classes."

Chris put aside her dignity and was held on the student's lap while she was tutored. She was so engrossed in the class that she didn't even know where she was teaching.

After finally waiting until the get out of class was over, Wayne wanted to do something bad again, but Chris held his hand back.

"What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Wayne wondered why young people were thinking about serious matters all day long instead of having a good relationship!

"The high priest wants to accept me as his student, and he said it was your idea." Chris pouted, not looking very happy.

"That's what she said?"

Wayne's mind raced, and he immediately understood Philomena's intention. He smiled and brushed her platinum hair. "Yes, that's what I mean. You are a disciple of the Moonlight Goddess. Only the church can truly protect you. There is no harm in being her student."

"But……"

Chris gritted her teeth and said, "The way she looked at you was wrong. It was obvious... I knew what she wanted to do to you. You came back so late, you must have been entangled by her."

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 chariot of the Moonlight Church.

Chris imagined a lot of things. Wayne was touched by Philomena's hand, and they had a candlelight dinner in the hotel with her arm in arm.

Gone.

It’s not that Chris looks down on the high priest, she really does. She thinks he’s too innocent and has probably never even worn a short skirt.

"Chris, you're so sarcastic!"

Wayne knew what had happened as soon as he heard it, and said with a straight face: "I know exactly what the high priest is thinking. Don't worry, I won't let her take advantage of me. As for her plan..."

Wayne kissed Chris: "It has been successful. Because of you, I will definitely stand on the side of the Moonlight Church."

"Then she..."

"Just let her be. After a while, she will give up when she sees that her goal has been achieved. Don't you think about how old she is? She has never been in a relationship before, and she will never be in a relationship in the future. People like this only have magic and faith in their minds. They don't know how to have real feelings."

It really is!
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 moved, but in order to compete, she may do something unimaginable."

Wayne explained: "I still have tasks for the Ministry of Magic, and I cannot refuse her request. If you provoke her, I will be the one who suffers, and you will suffer the loss."

Chris nodded first, then shook her head: "That's another woman, I won't be jealous." "Really? Let me try it and see if it's still sour."

Wayne held it in his mouthful, savoring it for a while, and said to the blushing Chris, "It tastes sour. It's obvious that you've been holding back your resentment for the whole afternoon."

After being exposed, Chris snorted coldly and looked away indifferently.

"Come on, class is over, go to my bedroom, I have something nice to show you."

"A short skirt again?"

"No skirts tonight."

----

October 11th.

These days, Wayne has been walking on the tightrope, working hard and his body fat percentage has dropped.

Xifei was very satisfied with her students' diligence. Without unremitting training, there would be no harvest of hard work. She used this to warn Veronica to learn Wayne's hard-working spirit and not to be outdone.

One dared to speak, the other dared to believe it, and Wayne was left speechless.

He had reason to suspect that Veronica was a silly girl who was picked up and had no trace of Auston at all. In fact, he was Auston's biological son, and he regained his status as heir by marrying into the family.

Today, Auston was dressed in a formal suit and asked Megan to give Wayne a thorough inspection.

One looked solemn and the other looked righteous as they walked into the Ministry of Magic headquarters side by side.

The Forestry Resources Planning Bureau has many office buildings. Apart from the office building of a deputy minister that has been sealed off, each senior executive has one, and Austin himself has one.

"The awarding ceremony is held once a year and there are political reasons for it. Your situation is more complicated, so you can't be awarded at Buckingham Palace. The only venue is the Ministry of Magic," said Auston.

Wayne has no identity in society and only has an ID card, which makes him not qualified for external publicity. He was recognized because of his contributions to the Ministry of Magic.

Wayne doesn't care. The so-called medal is actually the Queen's own achievement. The royal family has never rewarded anyone. The annual awarding ceremony is essentially a eulogy to herself.

Queen: Under my wise leadership, he has achieved amazing results.

This has been the case in every dynasty, and it doesn't matter where you put it.

"The Queen's office building has a special hall for awarding honors to magicians, but first, you have to officially become the heir to the Landau family." Auston was a little unhappy.

He was unhappy, but Wayne was happy. He said cheerfully, "Auston, you haven't told me how to confirm the heir of the Tulip Family, and what about the engagement? When will the engagement ceremony be held?"

"There's no rush for the engagement. I want to pick a bad day."

Auston said briefly, and led Wayne to a large auditorium: "The successor is not something that can be determined by my approval. It requires the unanimous approval of the fourteen Tulip families. You can only become the successor if you get more than half of the votes."

“What if there is less than a majority or a tie in the votes?”

"As long as the Queen agrees."

"..."

Isn’t this unnecessary taking off your pants and farting?

Wayne rolled his eyes. Even with Veronica's brain, he could tell that today's voting was bound to fail.

There is no other reason. If the Tulip family recognizes each other, they can decide the heir internally, and it doesn't matter whether there is a queen or not.

Knowing it is one thing, but you still have to follow the necessary procedures.

Wayne followed Auston into the auditorium, which had a red carpet and floor-to-ceiling windows on one side with sunlight streaming in. On the front wall hung the Windsor flag, a map and a portrait of the Queen.

There are fourteen seats around the table, and the seats are painted with the family crests of various families.

Wayne came to the open space in the center of the seats and looked around. Not all members of the fourteen families were present. Only five representatives came. Apart from Auston from the Landau family, he only knew Barney from the Boswell family and Yvette from the Collins family.

The former looked enthusiastic and patted his chest to tell Austin that he would vote in favor today and would not embarrass his illegitimate son.

The latter just smiled at Wayne. If nothing unexpected happened, she would vote against it.

Wayne didn't know the other two representatives, and Auston had no intention of introducing them. When they noticed Wayne's gaze, they all nodded like gentlemen.

Rupert Wilson from the Wilson family is over 50 years old. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and is meticulously dressed. He is a politician with a strong aura.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Magic was investigating an internal traitor, and Auston followed the clues to the Wilson family.

Although it was later proved that the Wilson family were not traitors, there is a saying that goes, everything was fine at first, but once they were investigated, there was trouble. In order to clear themselves of suspicion of traitor, the Wilson family gave Austin many benefits.

If nothing unexpected happens, Rupert came here today to vote in favor. He was severely beaten by Auston and has a very bad impression of Wayne.

The last representative is from Julian, First Julian, who looks to be around 30 years old and appears to be the same age as Auston.

The two men's situations are very similar. Their families are small and they are both engaged in business.

The difference is that Austin's wife and children sleep in the woods, while First is a loner with no wife or children but only a bunch of lovers, and his family's main industries are tobacco and lottery.

Perhaps because he did so many immoral things, he had many lovers but no children. To remedy this, First built a number of welfare homes in Windsor to adopt homeless children.

It's a very formal orphanage. Before being adopted by Doreen, Chris stayed in the Julian family's orphanage for two years.

Strictly speaking, he is still Chris's benefactor.

Wayne didn't know all this, he only knew that this guy had a bad look in his eyes and was a bit lecherous. Considering Windsor's characteristics, he suspected that he was a gay.

Except for five representatives, the rest of the Tulip Family was absent. A crystal ball was placed on the seat, which could be used to make a sound and facilitate voting.

What era is it now? The magic projector hasn't been invented yet. It's not keeping up with the times at all.

Wayne complained in his heart.

The moderator of the voting meeting was Yvette, a legendary wizard who was qualified enough to be in charge. The fourteen Tulip families were all convinced by her.

Wayne has nothing to do in the meeting, he just needs to show up. As the spokesperson, Auston will go through the entire process.

Then he saw Auston with a dark face introducing Wayne to his colleagues. He was a native of Landan with a clean background. As the son-in-law of the Landau family, he had the right of inheritance and would be the next head of the family after him.

"Cough cough cough!"
For a while, the coughing continued.

First covered his mouth and laughed, Rupert pushed his gold-rimmed glasses expressionlessly, and Barney opened his mouth wide, saying that he had learned a lot and that there was a way to play.

Yvette glanced at Austin with a complaint. It was already this late and he was still joking. Be serious. It was just an illegitimate child. It would be embarrassing to say it out loud.

Auston's face turned even darker, and he emphasized Wayne's identity again, saying that he had no blood relationship with him and was not an illegitimate child.

"..."xN
There was silence and everyone was shocked.

"Auston, if you insist on arranging Wayne's identity this way, everyone...I actually have no objection."

Yvette spoke dryly, and she understood. For the sake of the purity of the family bloodline and the family's reputation, the identity of the illegitimate child would not be made public, and Wayne would be allowed to take power in the name of marrying into the family.

Is it necessary? Even a blind person can see that he is your son!
Barney clapped his hands with joy. He decided to vote against it today. Auston's action was very interesting. Please be sure to send him an invitation on the day when the young master and young lady of the Lando family get married.

Auston was too lazy to explain anything. Whatever happened, it was enough for him to know it was not the case.

For the next five minutes, he read from the script against his conscience, praising Wayne lavishly, catching every good point and praising him in various ways.

Wayne: (ω)
Like it, love to listen, say more!
Austin couldn't continue speaking, his brows furious, and he slammed the manuscript on the table.

What a crappy copy. How could Megan write it? There is not a single true word in it. Was it switched by Sifty?

Megan said she felt very wronged. She was not familiar with Wayne, and she used Auston as a template, writing it in reverse order, and rushed out the manuscript overnight.

Auston sat down panting, still feeling a little nauseous and looking very bad.

Yvette blinked to make sure he had finished speaking, then cleared her throat and said, "Dear representatives, Auston Landau nominates Wayne as the heir to the Landau family. Does anyone have any objections? If not, let's move on to the voting phase now."

"I have an opinion."

The trouble maker is here.

Rupert, a politician from the Wilson family, picked up a manuscript and looked at Wayne. "According to my investigation of Mr. Wayne, he is not from Windsor. He is from Frank and is a very good intelligence officer."

Wayne: "..."

Finished!

What is coming will come, and it will eventually be exposed!
Rupert held the document high up and looked at Auston with a smile: "Mr. Landau, what exactly do you think of recruiting a spy from an enemy country into the Tulip Family? Are you also a Frank spy?"

Ten thousand words, please support me with monthly votes.

Today is the last day for the double monthly pass, it will expire tomorrow.
