Restarting the myth.

Chapter 209 Spring is here, and it is the season for everything to come back to life

Landau Manor, study.

Megan stood at the door as usual, setting up a soundproof barrier.

In the study, Austin kept the ancient silver coin in his hand, and before Wayne could speak, he said bluntly: "It just so happens that I have something to talk to you about. I'll tell you first."

"Let me speak first, my situation is more important."

Wayne prides himself on being humble, especially when it comes to his elders. Auston is an exception, and he spoke first: "Today I went to work at the detective agency and found someone cleaning the floor at the door. After asking around, I found out that someone was killed at the Dawn Detective Agency across the street last night."

"Dawn Detective Agency..."

Auston keenly grasped the key point and said thoughtfully: "The Dawn Detective Agency is related to the belief in death. It is the masterpiece of the Death Knight. Who dares to cause trouble at his grave?"

"That's what I thought at the time, so I asked my secretary Mona to go and find out. Guess what, it really happened."

Wayne lowered his voice and said, "Although Mona didn't find out anything, she is a clergyman. She smelled the scent of hell around the Dawn Detective Agency and swore to me that the devil has invaded Lundan again."

"so troublesome."

"Who says it isn't?"

Wayne sighed, "On the surface, I am Mona's boss, but privately, she is the spy planted by the Vatican next to me. She occasionally provides me with some devilish intelligence. The previous coincidences made the Vatican mistakenly believe that I am a good person. Now, she has sent me intelligence again."

"It's a big misunderstanding," Austin commented.

Wayne rolled his eyes, not wanting to argue, and continued, "According to Mona, there is a conflict between the devil and the Church of Death, and their target is the Death Knight. They are using Lundan as their arena, so I'm afraid there will be a big commotion."

"So, isn't it good for dogs to eat dogs?"

"..."

Wayne was speechless. If he wasn't the Death Knight, the dog-eat-dog fight would have been really cool.

"I understand what you mean. Whether it's the devil or the death knight, they are not easy to deal with. Notify the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible to avoid any accidents, right?" Austin said.

"No, I don't trust the Ministry of Magic very much, especially those legendary wizards. If they knew there was a living devil in Lundan, they would probably be the first to rush over." Wayne spread his hands. Orb was the best example. The legendary wizards were really capable of doing this.

"That depends on what kind of devil it is. Legendary wizards are very picky, not all devils will do." Austin played with the ancient silver coin. Magicians are divided into different levels, and the status of devils in hell is also high and low. They all hope to cooperate with those in power.

Taking Orb as an example, if one of the seven demon lords was willing to cooperate with Orb, there would be no chance for the Thousand-Eyed Demon.

"I understand the logic, but... they are devils after all. They represent hell and are best at bewitching people. The legendary wizard's position is not very firm..." Wayne expressed his concerns tactfully.

Ordinary devils are not scary, and single legendary wizards are not scary either. But when they get together, they become very scary, and their lethality is far more than just one plus one.

"I will inform the Minister."

Auston gave his answer, looked at Wayne again, and reminded him: "No one likes the devil. You, me, the minister, and even those legendary wizards, everyone hates the devil, but this is the human world. The most terrifying thing in the human world is not the devil. After all, they are outsiders."

"The Heavenly Father Church is more terrifying?"

"Don't play dumb, the scariest thing is the human heart."

Auston sighed, "You have investigated the Snow family, and you should be able to see that the Ministry of Magic is happy to cooperate with the devil in order to curb the Church of the Heavenly Father."

To put it nicely, it was the Ministry of Magic, to put it bluntly, it was the royal family. Auston knew Wayne could understand it, so he didn't point it out.

Give the Queen some face!
"Except cooperating with the devil, the Ministry of Magic has no other means?" Wayne complained speechlessly.

"There are many methods, such as the Forgotten, the Astral Realm, the Faith in Gods, etc. The Ministry of Magic has many subordinate research departments. The dragon blood transformation you encountered before is one of them. In comparison, the proportion of demons is not large."

"The proportion is small, but the effect is quick and the gains are huge. It is the Ministry of Magic's trump card against the Church of the Heavenly Father, right?"

"Yes."

"..." x2
"Auston, how do you think the Queen will deal with the devil in Lundan?"

"That depends on the devil."

Returning to the beginning of the topic, Wayne was helpless.

The Blood Tyrant has a place in hell. Although he is not the Demon King, he ranks high. The other two demons that descended with his familiars are most likely also familiars, and their masters' status in hell is not much worse than that of the Blood Tyrant.

The seven devils are laughing and taking a bath in their daily life. The strategic value of the top-ranked devils such as the Blood Tyrant has soared, and the Ministry of Magic will definitely not be able to withstand their temptation.

This is what Wayne is most worried about. He said angrily: "How can we build a good country with these insects?"

"Why, you still want to be like the Franks?"

Austin smiled. "The magic world in Frank is far more corrupt than that in Windsor. You find it disgusting, but you cannot deny that the magic world has maintained the order of this country. From a long-term perspective, the Ministry of Magic has done more good than bad."

"From a long-term perspective, the Ministry of Magic has been patching things up, and there are more and more conflicts. Boom, there will be an explosion, and then there will be nothing left."

“Yes, that’s history.”

Auston nodded. "Then what do you think the Ministry of Magic should do? Disband it on the spot, let the power of faith rule Windsor, and return to the era when demons were rampant in the beginning?"

ε=(ο`*)))
Wayne sighed. History is reality. Reality... is too damn realistic.

"Wayne, if you don't have the ability to take responsibility, don't worry about it. Just do your job as an heir. Do you understand?"

"Well, I will go find Veronica tonight and take on the responsibility of being the heir. I will expand the Landau family and try to give birth to at least one child a year."

"..."

Auston's face stretched long, and after a while he said, "In two days it will be the birthday of Angelo, the mayor of the financial city. You and I will go to the banquet. Remember, it is someone else's birthday banquet. You and I are guests, not the protagonists. Watch your mouth."

"Can I bring a secretary?"

"Only I can!"

Auston put aside his dignity as the head of the family and then teased, "I remember January 1th is your birthday. There are still five days left. Aren't you going to do something?"

"Forget it, just celebrate it casually. I'm not interested in my birthday."

Wayne shook his head. January 1 was the birthday written on his ID card. Considering his identity as a bilateral spy, this birthday was most likely fake. It made no difference whether he celebrated it or not.

Besides, sailing is not easy. If a ship collision triggers a chain reaction, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Auston looked at Wayne with interest, his lips slightly raised, and prepared to invite several women to a dinner at his home on the evening of the 11th.

The location is at the young master's villa, a private gathering, it will definitely be very interesting.

----

1 month 8 day.

North London.

An upper-class dinner party was held in a luxurious manor. The afterglow of the setting sun was still there, a light mist floated in the air, and before night fell, bright lights had already illuminated this magnificent venue.

Passing through the gate of the manor, what comes into view is a well-tended garden with elegant sculptures scattered around, guarding the tranquility and beauty.

In the distance, at the end of the manor is a maze of trimmed evergreen vegetation. The lights are dim, which is very suitable for couples to have secret meetings.

Walking into the banquet hall, crystal chandeliers are connected in a line on the ceiling, and the soft light falling down reflects the luxurious home decoration, casting a romantic light and shadow on the magnificent space.

On the buffet table, exquisite silverware was neatly arranged, holding all kinds of delicious food. The guests were dressed in gorgeous gowns, chatting happily with each other, and the sound of laughter and music intertwined, filling the air with elegant melodies.

Mayor Angelo, the owner of the manor, tried his best to create a romantic atmosphere. For this purpose, he laid a lot of flower petals on the carpet and invited a music group to perform live.

But the exquisite murals on the walls of the hall and various well-documented ornaments still betrayed Angelo. He himself had average artistic talent, was not a Union Jack aristocrat, and did not have much background.

This is indeed the case. According to Austin, the election of this financial city mayor involved extremely complex interest groups.

The father and son walked through the door, followed closely by Megan, and soon saw Mayor Angelo.

A slightly plump middle-aged man, dressed meticulously, with a very retro taste, judging by the clothing combination.

"Auston, I'm so glad to see you tonight."

Angelo smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Auston. He looked at Wayne and praised, "You are worthy of being the heir of the Landau family. I see your shadow in him." Then, he gave a series of compliments, such as "like father, like son", "like father, like son", and "the Landau family has a successor".

Wayne smiled and did not refute, and Auston did not explain anything.

So be it, no one will believe it anyway. x2
Auston has a very important position in London. As the former mayor of the financial city who was re-elected, he can get close to people wherever he goes. He takes Wayne around and shows off his face, and he is praised all the time.

In addition to the praises, some noble ladies asked Wayne for his autograph and refused to let go when shaking his hand, once again proving the influence of the King Kong movie.

Wayne smiled throughout the whole process, did not trigger the first love mechanism, and behaved very gentlemanly.

The host of the dinner was Angelo. Auston didn't want to steal the show, so he took Wayne for a walk and then went to a corner with him, holding a glass of wine.

After a while, there was a commotion among the crowd.

Wayne looked out curiously, it seemed that some important person had arrived.

He had good eyesight and saw through the crowd a blond figure in a white suit, with good looks and very well-mannered manners.

"He is Prince Edward, the Queen's eldest son, and he is about your age," Auston reminded.

"Would you like to go over and meet him?"

"No, our loyalty is only to the Queen. It's not his turn yet."

"understood."

Edward chatted and laughed happily with the nobles and wealthy merchants around him. He was neither overly intimate nor distant, and he had a very good sense of propriety, which made people feel good about him.

The nobles and wealthy merchants did not dare to disturb the prince's interest. They just chatted with him for a few words and then left. Soon, only young women of marriageable age were left around the prince.

He is a prince after all. Even though he is engaged, his charm remains undiminished.

After dealing with the noble lady, Edward came to the corner with a glass of red wine. When he saw Lando and his son, his eyes immediately lit up.

Auston raised his glass and walked forward, smiling and chatting with Edward, only talking about business and nothing else, which made Edward quite depressed.

Wayne listened from the side and realized that the prince had his own career in the business field, investing in a securities company and an auction house.

After the establishment of constitutional monarchy, the royal family retreated behind the scenes and handed over power to the government, but royal family members still have to attend important occasions such as diplomacy, and government funding is considered their daily work.

Important occasions do not come every day, and the Queen encourages royal family members to go out and find jobs instead of staying at home all day sucking taxpayers' blood. Edward followed his mother's orders and stepped into the financial field.

They say they are investing in a business, but in fact they are experiencing life, labeling themselves as successful people, and proving to the outside world that they are not useless stay-at-home moms.

Auston chatted with Edward for a few words, but his enthusiasm was not very high. Edward understood what he meant and turned to communicate with Wayne.

Auston only brought Wayne to appear in public, and the Landau family only had this one heir. In addition, they were of similar age, so Edward believed that the two would have common topics.

So, we started talking about finance.

"..." x2
When chess players meet their worthy opponents and generals meet their talented counterparts, they can start a conversation with just two sentences.

Auston stood aside with a blank expression, almost laughing out loud. He politely raised his glass to hide the raised corners of his mouth and took Megan to another corner.

Wayne and Edward stared at each other, then picked up the topic and started chatting again.

"..." x2
This is a piece of crap, he doesn't understand finance at all! x2
It cannot be said that I don't understand anything, it can only be said that I don't understand much. I don't have much knowledge, and I only know some crooked ways.

Edward's financial operations stem from his status and position. He has first-hand information and can make money wherever he goes. Wayne's operations stem from a God's perspective. He knows what will be popular and what will make a lot of money.

They both skipped the most difficult initial stages of their business and stood on the shoulders of giants, making it difficult for them to lose.

(;乛乛)(一一;)
Finding that the person sitting opposite them was of the same kind as themselves, the two of them immediately had common topics to talk about. However, as they were not in a position to reveal their respective identities, they exchanged glances and left the banquet hall.

There was no one around, so Edward took the lead and asked, "Wayne, what do you think of the second lady of the Goss family?"

"Who is that?"

"The one with the best figure."

"Oh, it's really fierce."

After the test, it is definitely one of ours.

Edward raised his glass and clinked it with Wayne's orange juice. He said happily, "I never thought the heir of the Landau family was such a fool. Auston is amazing. He was able to conceal the identity of your illegitimate child for so long."

"I didn't expect that the prince looked elegant, but he was just elegant in appearance."

"You misunderstood. As a prince, I am still young and cannot show too strong abilities. This is a cover-up. You understand the royal family, right?"

"It's the same for me. I actually have a good eye for business. The hot-selling stockings on the market are designed by me."

"What, it's you?"

Edward was shocked. He confirmed it several times and patted Wayne on the shoulder: "You know men too well. You've mastered them all."

The two of them got along better and better, and starting with stockings, they talked about a lot of random things, none of which was serious.

It turns out that the prince is very smart, but he has used all his wisdom in the wrong way, so he looks like a fool.

"I heard that you set up an investigation team some time ago and went to Northern Ireland to investigate the Snow family..."

Edward looked envious: "I can't do that. My majesty likes Elizabeth more. She made Elizabeth the leader of the Patino family's investigation team. I can only watch."

Wayne didn't respond, just snorted twice and pretended not to hear.

At this time, Mayor Angelo came over and invited Edward to come in.

Accompanying Angelo was a black-haired beauty with a tall figure, cool makeup, and a charming and enchanting figure that made people's hearts beat fast.

Edward's eyes lit up and he asked the beauty's name. When he learned that she was Angelo's distant relative named Shande, he immediately became attentive.

Xiangde has a cold temperament and is not keen on the prince's courtesy. However, she copes with it reluctantly due to the presence of Angelo, her elder at home.

What a licking dog!
Wayne left silently with the orange juice. If I remember correctly, Prince Edward has a fiancée.

Bah, scumbag!

He has a fiancée but is still flirting with other girls outside, unlike him who is single and is still single now.

Angelo, who was in charge of pimping, tried desperately to wink at Chand, who had no choice but to smile at Edward.

Suddenly, the icebergs melted, spring came, and it was time for animals to mate...

No, spring is here, and it is the season when all things come back to life.

Edward was slightly agitated and noticed Angelo's look. He was very satisfied with his arrangement and enthusiastically invited Shande to explore the maze behind the manor.

Xiangde pulled away his tightly held hand, saying that he was drunk and would not let the prince down next time.

Having said this, he swayed his body and left.

"Gulp!" x2
Why are there two sounds?
Edward looked back in confusion, but didn't see Wayne, so it could only be Angelo.

He gave her a scornful look and said gentlemanly, "Angelo, where is Miss Shand from?"

"She was in Cheshire, attending college in Cam River County. I saw her wandering around alone, and I was afraid she might be in danger, so I brought her to Londan to take care of her." Angelo sighed, "This child has been strong since she was young. She learned painting and sculpture, and now works in an art gallery. She is very talented, and she just lacks an opportunity."

“Which art museum?”

“This is a business card.”

Angelo handed over the art gallery's business card and very considerately included the address and phone number of the Chandelure Apartment.

"Prince Edward, Shand has been without a mother since childhood and lost his father at an early age. He has devoted all his passion to the field of art, so he is very indifferent to people. I hope you won't be angry."

"Just call me Edward. Don't worry, if she is really talented, I will give her a chance."
