Chapter 229 Young man, do you want to become a natural knight?
January 1, hotel suite.

The rising sun shines into the house through the window. The black-haired elf sitting cross-legged is basking in the sunlight, covered with a layer of hazy light, dazzling and elegant. The picture is full of mysterious beauty.

Wayne is working hard towards a small goal. 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 have a bad temper, I don’t believe it!

Once you fail too many times, the meaning of persisting to succeed changes. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is that simple.

From last year to now, he has changed many postures and styles, repeatedly attacking new hypotheses, summarizing lessons from failure, and eliminating wrong answers.

I have been practicing quietly these two days and unexpectedly discovered that the elf form is extremely compatible with nature.

I was instantly full of energy and only rested for three hours a day, using the time for sleeping to practice hard.

There is some effect, but it is still far from expectations.

Wayne was certain that elves were connected to nature, but he failed because his elf form was not perfect and something was missing.

Nature, sun, moonlight, the three beliefs of the Life Alliance are gathered together. The three are balanced and impartial, and the formula is applied perfectly. Logically, there should be no defects.

Always a little short of it.

Wayne attributed it to the fact that his own realm was too low. It was too early for a silver mage to communicate with nature. He should be able to reach the gold and legendary mage stages.

This speculation is just a hypothesis and cannot be a final conclusion.

Take Philomena, for example.

Philomena is a guaranteed gold mage, half a step away from reaching the pinnacle of perfection and just one step away from being a legendary mage. Also an elf, she has no signs of communicating with nature.

Wayne knew Philomena's body and mind very well, and he had touched her before. He was so proud of it that he almost became patinaed with it.

He's a veteran expert on Philomena, and he said there were no traces, absolutely none.

Philomena proved that Wayne's hypothesis was not valid, but Wayne still held out hope. People's physiques cannot be generalized. Just because Philomena couldn't do it doesn't mean he couldn't do it.

When he reaches the Golden Mage stage, he will definitely be able to communicate with nature without any obstacles.

Now, I can only brush up 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, who was only wearing a pair of shorts but had a pretty good figure.

Another look.

After Wayne transformed into an elf, his height 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 us, so we can't be too close. I can only give you benefits in this way."

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 Wenches. Wayne ignored the arranged script and quickly passed the level to get the two philosopher's stones, which made the investigation team anxious. The actors withdrew, and the editor and director met to rewrite the script.

In order to show goodwill and get a good rating, Wayne took 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 acts recklessly, he is not completely ignorant of the rules.

After receiving Wayne's kindness, the investigation team rearranged the script. It was still the abandoned church and the same NPCs, but the difficulty was slightly increased.

The leader of the investigation team, Charlotte, personally took action and selected four silver mage members, who put on human skin masks and pretended to be NPCs to stake out in the abandoned church.

This prevents you from having any chance to fight back when you get beaten.

This is the last stubbornness of the investigation team!

The mission is not over yet, but the investigation team has already scored.

Remove the highest and lowest scores and take the average. Wayne, who is reckless but knows the rules, gets 80 points, Veronica, who wants to follow the rules but is led astray, gets 95 points, and after picking out a few questions that are not problems, the written report is complete.

If there are no problems with the two members of the secret group, the list of two candidates for the Windsor division will be finalized.

"It's a little early, but never mind. I'll change my clothes and we'll go downstairs and have breakfast before we go."

Wayne glanced at the clock on the wall and said as he changed his clothes, "If we're lucky, we can return to Lundan this afternoon. What do you think? It's rare for us to go on a long journey alone, and Willie didn't come with us. Let's go on a date before we return."

"Mother warned you before you left. We are candidates and many eyes are watching us. I advise you not to do anything rash." Veronica tilted her head and handed over the shirt. Seeing Wayne raise his arms, indicating that she should help him put on his clothes, she pretended not to see anything.

"What does it matter? We are siblings. It's normal for siblings to go shopping and watch movies."

"It's very abnormal. There are no siblings like this."

"That's because you haven't seen..."

Wayne muttered to himself, his face full of disappointment at being rejected on a date.

Veronica was also a little disappointed. The two of them had been together day and night these days but they had deliberately kept their distance. She was worried and felt that Wayne had fallen in love with someone else and no longer liked her.

Damn Willy!
However, Veronica thought it was Willy's fault and planned to teach her a lesson when she returned.

----

8am, abandoned church.

This church is located on the outskirts of the city. It was originally located in a village. With the city's industrial transformation, rural population flocked to the city for work, and the church was abandoned along with the village.

Eight hundred meters away from the church is a newly built cemetery area. Further away is Windsor’s former royal cemetery, which is guarded and maintained by a dedicated person and is well preserved.

Wayne drove to the abandoned church and walked in side by side with Veronica. In the corner, several NPCs dressed as homeless people were cooking potatoes in an iron pot.

"Dark magician Andrew, you are wanted by the church for repeated thefts and unauthorized disclosure of faith magic. Some time ago, you also stole the Philosopher's Stone from the cemetery..." Wayne spoke in a crooked manner, each word sounding powerful and righteous.

"Andrew, you have so many crimes against you, do you have anything else to quibble about?"

"..."

Andrew was speechless. In the original script, several NPCs turned around and ran away. During the battle, after a passionate battle of wits and courage, they left behind clues to the Philosopher's Stone.

That’s not necessary now, as both candidates have proven their military prowess.

As Veronica stared in silence, the black magician Andrew took out a stamped certificate from his arms and held a brochure of the Church of Nature in his hand: "You are too late. I am now a disciple of the goddess. The Philosopher's Stone has been returned to me, and I will never steal it again."

"So we're one of us. Hello, Mr. Andrew, nice to meet you. I'm Wayne, and this is my companion Veronica." Wayne changed his expression in a second, without caring whether Andrew was lying or not, fully illustrating the saying 'faith makes people firm, while religion makes people ignorant'.

Wayne sits down and talks with Andrew, who gives him directions and tells him the story of the legend of the Philosopher's Stone.

It's a bunch of nonsense, the whole thing is the script written by the screenwriter who stayed up late at night. After removing the water and translating it, it turns out that Andrew is a tomb robber who took a lot of effort to get the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone belongs to the Windsor royal family and is said to have the magical power to bring the dead back to life. It was collected by a royal family member and buried as a burial 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: (a`a;)
In the new script, everyone in the world is connected to Wei, and the royal family has changed its surname to Cao.

Wayne was tactful and didn't complain. The investigation team deleted the fighting scenes, which saved him a lot of effort, and he should thank them.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the other side was beaten and scared.

"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 from the script: "Go through the tunnel, and at the end is the Philosopher's Stone, but be careful of traps and watch out for dangers in the shadows."

You've been down a tunnel before, so you know how to get to the mechanism. Come with us!

Veronica thought so and turned her head to look at Wayne. When she was out, she trusted this external brain more.

"Andrew, thank you for guarding the Philosopher's Stone here. You are a devout believer and have been inspired by the light of the goddess to become a new man. I believe the goddess will forgive the sins you have committed." Wayne still spoke for justice.

Fair, just, equitable, and self-consistent.

Veronica was convinced by his nonsense.

Before going down the well, Andrew kindly sponsored a flashlight. Wayne jumped into the well first, blew a whistle, signaling it was safe for Veronica to follow.

The two of them traveled through the tunnel one after the other, encountering four-element magic traps, as well as hallucinogenic and parasitic spores, all of which were easily resolved by them.

It took them ten minutes to reach the end of the tunnel, where a stone wall blocked their way.

Wayne saw a line of words on the wall: Up is down, all is one.

"Common words in alchemy. This level tests your knowledge. If I'm not mistaken, there is a trap nearby."

Wayne analyzed the problem and stepped aside to make way for Veronica: "You solve the problem." Veronica nodded, swung her fist and hit the stone wall. With one punch, a crack appeared in the wall and it broke in half with a click.

Wayne blinked and patted Veronica's head with satisfaction: "She has a good brain and knows what she is good at."

"I'm not stupid. Give me some time and I can solve the mystery, but this is faster..." Veronica argued in a low voice.

"No problem. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm really praising you. You should play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses and take the initiative. Veronica, you have grown up." Wayne covered his eyes, turned around and leaned against the wall. His shoulders twitched. He was so happy to see his child grow up.

Veronica punched Wayne with a dark face, kicked the stone door in front of her and came to a circular underground tomb.

The tomb was spacious, with elemental torches burning constantly, illuminating the various complex and obscure magic array diagrams on the walls.

Wayne was stunned and admitted that the director team was thoughtful. Such a complicated drawing arrangement would probably require overtime for three days and three nights.

In the center of the tomb, the sarcophagus was opened, and a knight in armor lay quietly inside, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, tightly grasping a blood crystal gem.

The last philosopher's stone.

Wayne smelled a hint of alcohol in the air and heard a heartbeat from inside the knight's armor, and knew that there was also an actor inside.

Wayne reached out to take the Philosopher's Stone, and suddenly, something strange happened. The knight's armor came to life, jumped out of the sarcophagus and crashed into the wall. The magic circle was activated, and he disappeared into the portal.

"Son of the Beach, the whole thing is closed and you're still adding to the drama!"

Wayne cursed and saw that it was a one-time transmission channel. The halo was dimming and about to go out, so he hurriedly pulled Veronica and slammed her against the wall.

The scenery in front of the two people changed drastically. They were standing in a desolate and dilapidated cemetery, surrounded by weeds and many dead bones scattered on the ground.

"It runs really fast, like a mouse..."

Wayne sniffed the alcohol in the air, walked quickly forward through the tombstones, stopped in the middle of the cemetery, and said to the ground: "Come out, tomb robber, it's still decent to come out now, otherwise I can only help you to be decent."

As he spoke, he did not give the other party time to react. He channeled green magic power into the ground, causing tree roots and grass roots to grow rapidly, transforming into a large number of vine tentacles that rolled towards the knight's armor underground.

As Wayne raised one hand, the earth bulged, mud fragments flew down, and the knight's armor wrapped in vines rose from the ground.

Seeing the knight's armor being captured alive, changes occurred again. The armor glowed with green fluorescence all over, and the tightly wrapped vines drooped down, growing backwards into the soil.

The knight's armor regained his freedom, flipped in the air, and stood lightly on the tombstone.

He weighed the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and said, "Two candidates, the assessment process went too smoothly. I suspect you cheated, so I slightly increased the difficulty. Do you have any objections?"

"What assessment? I don't understand what you are talking about."

Wayne loudly rebuked the other party for talking nonsense, leaving an afterimage on the spot, and his fist broke through the air and went straight to the face of the knight's armor.

So fast!

Gavin, the investigator of the Dark Team, who was hiding in the knight's armor, exploded with magic power under his feet and flew into the air like teleportation.

His control over magic power was extremely precise, and he acted as if nothing happened, and his posture was graceful as if he was really flying. Unlike Wayne, who relied on his huge magic power to fly with a strong force, wasting as much as he wanted.

"Young man, if you want to take it from me..." Gavin stopped talking halfway and crossed his hands in front of his chest.

Wayne's punch missed the target, and Veronica followed up, stepping on Wayne's shoulder and leaping into the air.

Combo skills!

One part of Veronica's arm was covered with fine white scales, and the tip of her fist pierced through the air like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread in all directions, and in an instant a surging wind was created.

The air seemed like a quiet cold pond that was swept up by a strong wind, and ripples spread out in an instant.

Powerful brick flying combination!

This time Gavin did not dodge. He folded his hands in front of his chest, ready to test the quality of the dragon's blood.

It's a shame for him to do it himself as the deputy leader of the Knights of Nature, but Wayne's operation forced him to do it. The ten-member investigation team brought shame to the headquarters, and they worked for three days but didn't make any progress.

What's the difference between this and surrendering? Isn't it embarrassing?

boom!
Veronica threw a punch, shattering the mitten gauntlet on Gavin's arm. The thin iron blades burst out like blades, rubbing against Veronica's facial skin, creating a series of sparks.

What a power!
It is worthy of being dragon blood. It is only at the Silver Cross stage, but its life essence is so powerful. How can it be compared with Gold or Legendary?

Gavin flew backwards, sighing repeatedly in mid-air. He had read Veronica's file and found only dragon blood, not someone favored by God. He felt very sorry for her.

If Veronica was a person favored by God like her mother, she would definitely win the selection this time.

Fortunately, it is not a big problem. Those favored by God are not born naturally. Veronica can become a saint, so it is natural for her to become a favored one of the goddess. With dragon blood + favored by God, she is adept at both magic and martial arts without any shortcomings.

Gavin gave Veronica full marks and looked forward to her future performance.

On the other side, Veronica stepped on the air and continuously burst out with magic power, catching up with Gavin in mid-air. The tip of her fist blew up the air, and the terrifying force pressed Gavin so hard that he couldn't keep his balance.

Without using the magic of faith, Gavin could not fight against the dragon blood, but he did not care much about it. He used his agility to dissipate the force and deal with Veronica.

Fight and retreat at the same time, not seeking to win, just estimating the score.

Wayne watched from afar, wondering if this actor was too powerful and a big name, and that the director team had limited funds and could not invite such a big name.

There is no doubt that this person is the investigator of the secret team.

Finally showed up!
Seeing Gavin and Veronica sparring, Wayne follows them calmly, picking up the fallen Philosopher's Stone on the way, and declaring his mission completely accomplished.

It took four days to collect three philosopher's stones and the task was completed eleven days ahead of schedule.

So, what about Flora? Where is the beauty trap?
If he doesn't knock on the door late at night wearing stockings, he will go back to London.

boom!
With a loud bang, the air exploded with thunder, the mist expanded and spread, and a storm broke out.

Gavin was violently blown away, and his body fell to the ground like a skipping stone. During his several bounces, he smashed the big trees along the way.

Veronica was stuck in the mud, her feet bound by resilient vines, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of them.

These vines were extremely strange. Not only could they absorb her magic power, but they could also interfere with the flow of her magic power, repeatedly interrupting her thoughts and preventing her from casting elemental magic freely.

"Wayne!"

Veronica called out the summoned beast's name, telling it to stop watching the show and come over to help.

Wayne swayed to Veronica's side, put his five fingers together, cut the vines with the wind blade, held Veronica's shoulder and said, "Your turn is over, now it's my turn."

As he spoke, he placed the Philosopher's Stone in Veronica's hands, took off his black suit, and unbuttoned his cuffs and collar.

As he took three steps, his body rose higher. After three steps, a perfect elf two meters tall appeared in Veronica's eyes.

==(д|||)
Veronica gasped. What a beautiful elf. I really want to...

Ugh, she meant, what a weird transformation, when can social trash turn into an elf?

It shouldn’t be!

Like Philomena, Veronica fell into questioning her life, and was somewhat terrified, suspecting that Wayne's bloodline had degenerated.

The original appearance of the ancient god cannot be said to be ugly, but it is not a human at all. It took Veronica a long time to convince herself and reluctantly accepted Wayne's setting.

It's not impossible to live this life.

In a blink of an eye, Wayne had fallen and turned into an elf.

It's a good thing, but what's the use of being beautiful? Veronica hates him for not fighting for it. She would rather live with tentacles than have Wayne's current elf appearance.

"What a terrifying talent! This child has already mastered divine arts."

Gavin was amazed again and again, looking at the perfect elf in front of him, and scored full marks with his backhand. He marveled at Wayne's talent and felt sorry for him at the same time.

It is impossible for the Son of God to appear in the church, not because it is impossible, but because it has become a habit.

The version of the Son of God is too advanced. The headquarters cannot accept it, and it is even more impossible for the believers to accept it.

He pushed aside his visor to reveal his true face. He had a long beard and sleepy eyes. He fished out a wine flask from behind his buttocks, gulped down a mouthful, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "It's better if I can't become a Holy Son. I can join the Knights of Nature. What kind of people are these younger generations? They only grow in size but not in brains."

"Mr. Investigator, it's my turn now. Are you just going to watch? Don't you want to fight back?" Seeing Gavin lazily leaning against a tree drinking with a decadent look, Wayne couldn't help but frowning.

What a sloppy investigator.

Besides, can you continue? It will be very uncomfortable if you are only halfway through pretending to be cool.

"No, I have already graded you two. You are both excellent, with top-notch abilities and talents. You have not cheated, and you are qualified enough to be candidates."

Gavin waved his hand and raised the wine jug. The wine flowed down his beard. He was unaware of it and looked at Wayne: "Young man, do you want to be a natural knight?"

"Ah?!" x2
