Restarting the myth.

Chapter 318: Ragnarok, the End of the Dharma Era

Buckingham Palace.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Wayne and Delain finished their meal in the palace and drove away with the cold beauty.

Queen Sophia is away and has been living and eating at the Ministry of Magic headquarters during this period, handing over power and assisting Austin on how to efficiently manage a chaotic country.

The handover process was supposed to take place at Buckingham Palace, but in order to avoid suspicion, Auston insisted on choosing the Ministry of Magic headquarters.

To be honest, there is not much point in avoiding suspicion. The little things between the Queen and Austin are known to all the nobles in London.

He is still trying to avoid suspicion. It is obvious that he is tired of the palace and is going to the Ministry of Magic headquarters to open up a new battlefield.

Auston has always maintained a calm attitude towards these rumors. He has seen all kinds of situations. When rumors spread that Wayne was his illegitimate child, he just lay down and did not refute them hard.

As soon as I think about it, I suddenly feel that the world is vast.

Austin is a man of integrity and has nothing to fear. He just treats rumors as jokes and forgets about them after laughing.

He avoided suspicion because he was afraid that Xifei would misunderstand him, and at the same time he also wanted to put an end to all Queen Sophia's fantasies.

A man is a man, without any personal feelings mixed in. I also hope that the Queen will not bring up the past and destroy the last bit of friendship between them for politics.

The Queen is not in Buckingham Palace and outsiders are not allowed to enter. In the past, Wayne would never have been able to enjoy a feast in the palace.

It's different now.

With the words "My father, Austin", London could go wherever he wanted. Not only could he eat in the palace for free, he could even sleep with the princess whenever he wanted.

This is called rebellion!

While eating, Delain spoke little, ate slowly, and tried her best to maintain her image as an ice beauty.

Don’t say it, really don’t say it, the White-haired Knight is really nice when he doesn’t speak.

When holding the White Night's Words and transforming into a Moonlight Knight, Delain will enter the form of a Moonlight Elf, with silver hair and silver eyes, a heroic appearance, a noble and cold temperament, and keep people at a distance.

In her normal state, her appearance is not much different from that of a moonlight elf, still with silver hair and silver eyes. According to her explanation, she has held the White Night's True Words for too long and has unknowingly become like this.

It's good, she likes white very much.

Wayne was curious about her real age, but didn't get an answer. He guessed that old legendary wizards like Senna and Anastasia could only be considered Draene's granddaughters.

Super old aunt!
"Delein, the seal of the Frozen Continent is basically stable. What do you, the Chosen Knights, usually do when you are not stationed in the Frozen Continent?" Wayne asked in the driver's seat.

"Wait for the goddess' oracle."

Delain glanced at Wayne. After repelling Togugeye, the chaotic space in the Frozen Continent was alleviated. During this period, she contacted the Moonlight Goddess once to report the battle situation and results.

Wayne, who was chosen by the three gods, was also mentioned.

The Moonlight Goddess said that Wayne was indeed her choice, and asked Delain to take good care of him, and at the same time increase the efforts to make sure to drive out nature and the sun.

There aren't many myths about the Moonlight Girl, and Delain understood it after a little thought.

There was no choice before. In order to protect their knights, the three goddesses joined forces to choose Wayne as a backup. At the critical moment, they sacrificed Wayne to save the lives of the three chosen knights.

Now that Togugye has been defeated, the Moonlight Goddess admires Wayne's talent very much, and with the added reward or compensation, she appoints him as the next Moonlight Knight.

The Moonlight Goddess thought so, and the Goddesses of Nature and the Sun also thought so, so this slightly strange order was given.

Delain felt that the task was easy. She tested Philomena and Chris. The combination of big beauty and small beauty was simply unbeatable. Wayne was such a sentimental person that he would definitely not give up on them and tied them to the chariot of the Moonlight Church early on.

I won’t say that this is a sure thing, but the absolute advantage is in my hands.

What I am afraid of is that the Church of Nature is shameless and, in order to snatch the future Knights of Nature, they will issue orders to both Sphy and Veronica. The rarity of a mother-daughter combination is higher than that of a teacher-student combination, so we have to be on guard against it.

Delain sat in the passenger seat, thinking about fun, shaking his head and mumbling.

Are you thinking about something really disrespectful?
Wayne rolled his eyes at the person beside him and continued, "What are the goddess's oracles generally? The knights are militant, and the goddess's sharp blade in the world, a weapon of destructive power against the church, will not let you sit idle all the time."

"In the past, we had the mission of guarding the Frozen Continent for a long time. Because the seal had fallen into disrepair, the shift change time became shorter and shorter, and we didn't receive many oracles from the goddess... I don't know what will happen in the future."

Delane did not hide anything. He regarded Wayne as the next Moonlight Knight and familiarized him with the knight's mission in advance. He said, "Normally, the Chosen Knights do not intervene in the fights between churches. Knights rarely fight each other. Once we show up, we will either clean up the mess or persuade the other side to quit while they are ahead."

As a strategic weapon against the church, the main function of the God-chosen Knights is deterrence. The five churches all have God-chosen Knights, which ensures the long-term stability of the churches. Anyone who dares to steal their homes must be prepared to change homes.

"That's right, but..."

Delain's expression suddenly became serious. "Based on the missions I have carried out before and related to the church, the relationship between goddesses is neither as cold as the rumors outside, nor as close as strategic allies. Changes are always happening."

There are some things that Delain, as the Moonlight Knight, is not convenient to say directly. Wayne is the next knight, and she hopes that by making subtle suggestions, Wayne can better position himself.

God's chosen knight, do not get involved in the fights between churches!
The church here refers only to the Alliance of Life and the five churches of darkness and death.

The Life Alliance is not close, and it does not have to fight to the death with darkness and death. This is the experience that Delain has summed up after working for many years.

"Not entirely. Death is fading away and the relationship has become distant," Delain added.

In the human world, the Alliance of Life and Darkness and Death are hostile to each other, but in Delain's eyes, the three goddesses of nature, sun and moonlight have always maintained a connection with the goddess of darkness.

There used to be a goddess of death, but they later had a complete falling out and lost contact. Even the goddess of darkness, the good friend of the goddess of death, and the two goddesses drifted apart because of this conflict.

The specific reason is unknown, and Delain doesn't know it. This is not something that she, a chosen knight of God, can access. At least she has to get the information from God to be qualified to know it.

"So, in the beginning, the five of us, the Chosen Knights of God, not only took turns guarding the seal, but the rest of the time we were protecting the church from the threat of the Heavenly Father's Church."

Delain was very sure that the five chosen knights were not intimidating each other, but were working together to intimidate the Heavenly Father's Church.

Wayne was so excited when he heard this. His horizons were broadened and his vision was improved. According to Delain, the value of the Reincarnated Angel's brand was still rising.

Unfortunately, the identity of the reincarnated angel is fake after all.

But the identity of Moonlight Knight's successor is also fake!

Thinking of this, Wayne said casually: "Delaine, did our goddess mention me?"

"Yes, the goddess is very satisfied with you and praised you as an excellent successor. She also told me not to mind the choice of the three gods. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. You are the knight chosen by the goddess, as you were in the past and will be in the future." Delain said truthfully.

Wayne's heart skipped a beat. He knew his own business. He couldn't be the knight chosen by the Moonlight Goddess. He was able to hold the White Night's True Words because of the Book of Greed.

Why didn’t the Moonlight Goddess expose the lie?

Do the goddesses of nature and the sun also know about this? Will their choices be the same as those of the moonlight goddess?
If the same, what is the reason?
Wayne thought about the complex structure of the Life Alliance and his own evolutionary path, and suspected that he was being treated as a guinea pig. There were already three goddesses paying attention to him.

What about darkness and death? Have they also joined the crowd of onlookers?
Suddenly, the figure of Anastasia jumped over Wayne's mind. Has the Saint of the Dark Church ever contacted the Dark Goddess?

If you contact...

Who exactly does Anastasia work for now?

Questions flashed through Wayne's mind, but he was too far away from the goddess to get the answers. Delain only had a vague idea and couldn't get any results from his questions, so he could only start with Anastasia.

"Anastasia..."

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly talking about her? Tell me, are you greedy for her body?"

Delain sneered: "Don't let your imagination run wild. She is the saint of the Dark Church. She cannot lose her purity. If you really like her, you should keep your distance from her, otherwise she will be miserable."

"Delain, although what you said makes sense, is this what you should say?" Wayne complained. We are all brothers, and you are meddling too much.

"I was speaking for Philomena and Chris. They were too gentle to you. I wouldn't do that if it were me!" Delain was full of pride.

"..."

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
This kind of thinking is very dangerous and may result in death. You'd better stay calm.

The topic was not suitable to be deepened, so Wayne did not speak, fearing that he might not pay attention. He opened Delain's progress bar and said, "Is the Holy See of the Heavenly Father really that scary? I think the Papal States are very honest!"

"Innocent!"

Delain said with disdain: "If it weren't for the fact that all five churches had chosen knights, the Father's Church would have unified its faith again long ago. If the Papal State had been honest, there would have been no saying that kings were granted by God."

"Since the Heavenly Father Church is so powerful, how did they fall from grace?"

Wayne took the opportunity to ask, "I have checked a lot of documents and the specific reasons are vague. The Heavenly Father Church is unwilling to say more. Our Moonlight Church and even the Life Alliance have no records. Do you know the reason?"

"It seems that there was a period of Ragnarok in history, and all magicians lost their magic power, including those who believed in magic..."

Delain did not disappoint Wayne. She did know some secrets: "I don't know the exact time. I became the Moonlight Knight in the late 17th century, around 1680..."

At this point, Delain looked at Wayne expressionlessly. The latter gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, staring at the road ahead, looking as if he was concentrating on driving.

"Wayne, just pretend you didn't hear what I just said, otherwise I will have to use physics to help you lose your memory." Delain patted Wayne's shoulder and accidentally revealed his approximate age, which made her quite unhappy.

Murderous!

Wayne asked in confusion: "Delaine, what did you just say? What about 1920? It turns out you are only eighteen years old this year!"

"Haha, you better not hear it."

Delain was very unhappy and stopped the conversation and didn't want to say anything more.

Wayne was halfway through listening, and was in a dilemma. He was itching to attack Delain's weaknesses and made several humiliating card-playing treaties, which allowed the other party to continue speaking.

"I forgot to mention that the Moonlight Knight from the late 17th century was my predecessor. He was both my mentor and my friend, so we were friends." Delain added.

She made up a friend out of thin air. She has a friend, and her friend told her about it. She is not that old.

Wayne nodded repeatedly, indicating that everything her friend said was correct.

Delain snorted coldly at first, and then continued: "The world once experienced a period of the end of the law. It was the twilight of the gods and the dark age when faith collapsed."

"The Church of the Heavenly Father could not get in touch with heaven. The Pope became as weak as an old man overnight. All the magicians of the Church of the Heavenly Father lost their magic power. The powerful minds regressed, the amazing life essence disappeared, and knowledge became worthless that day..." "This is the reason for the decline of the Church of the Heavenly Father. Without the use of force to consolidate power, and only talking about empty faith, no one was willing to pay attention to them. The royal families of various countries took back power one after another, because faith was a good excuse. They did not tear down the cathedral for their own interests."

"It's not just the Father Church, it's the same for everyone. The magicians of the Life Alliance have lost everything..."

"All known mysteries, including Hell, have disappeared."

"Delaine, can you be more specific about the time? Did...your friend mention it?" Wayne interrupted.

"I'm not sure. Maybe it was in the 16th century, or maybe even earlier. My friend wasn't born then, so she can't confirm the exact time." Delain emphasized.

Wayne nodded secretly. In the sixteenth century, his investigation with the literary girl Ottilia happened to be at this time point.

If nothing unexpected happens, the God-chosen Continent experienced an end of the Dharma Age in the 15th and 16th centuries, when the gods left and there was no more magic in the world.

Coincidentally, the development of modern science, the Reformation, and the Renaissance all occurred around this time point.

Wayne analyzed the clues and concluded that technology should not have flourished in the God-chosen Continent where gods really exist. It should have been strangled by the Pope's forces the moment it began to show signs of development.

For example, the famous pioneer and martyr of modern science, Bruno, had a big quarrel with the Pope because of his insistence on the heliocentric theory, and was then burned at the stake as a heretic.

There is no Bruno in the Chosen Continent, and the heliocentric theory originated from the Church of the Sun...

I have gone off topic. Wayne analyzed the clues and found that it was precisely because of the Dharma Ending Age that all countries got rid of the absolute rule of the Church. The Chosen Continent ushered in scientific development. People believed that science was the primary productive force, which led to the current airplanes and cannons.

After confirming the time of the Dharma Ending Age, Wayne asked, "Delaine, did your friend tell you when the Dharma Ending Age will end?"

"I don't know. It's as if the whole world was restarted overnight, and the myth has returned."

Delain was not sure of the exact date, but when she became the Moonlight Knight, magicians were already able to practice freely, the Father Church no longer had the advantage it once had, the Life Alliance grew stronger, and darkness and death began to revive.

In addition, because of the end of the law, the seal of the frozen continent was broken, and the sleeping Togugeye slowly woke up.

The followers of the ancient gods have an extremely good sleep quality, and it takes them three to four hundred years to wake up.

"Although the Church no longer has the upper hand, Heaven still exists. During that time, angels were reincarnated frequently, and they seemed to be ready to wipe out all pagans in one fell swoop. The Chosen Knights might have appeared at that time," Delane concluded.

Wayne nodded as he listened, and understood why all churches refused to mention this past event.

Let’s take the example of the Church of God the Father. In the Bible, God the Father is omniscient, omnipotent, and almighty. However, one day, Ragnarok came, God the Father lost contact with us, and the angels also disappeared.

To be honest, if you follow the book and the settings, isn't that a slap in the face of God?

The same goes for the beliefs of the five goddesses. The goddesses also have to save face, so it is more appropriate to bury this unpleasant memory in history.

Furthermore, the five goddesses are not weak. The failure of the seal on the Frozen Continent originated from the Dharma Ending Age, otherwise Togugeye would have continued to sleep.

The more you know, the more you don’t know.

A new question arises: how did Ragnarok and the Dharma Ending Age come about?

Was it the work of the ancient gods, or was it because the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind were limited, and there were too many strong people in the world at that time, who drained the land of the chosen gods and forced the continent of the chosen gods to fall into the time of sages?
After recuperating for a period of time, are you full of energy again?

Wayne raised these questions, but Delain knew nothing: "My friend is still young. These are not things he should know."

"Do Mr. Mura and Mr. Leo know?"

“They’re not that old.”

Delain shrugged. "As far as I know, ahem, as far as my friend knows, the oldest surviving Chosen Knight is the Death Knight, the one in the Catacombs of Paris, not the new Knight active in Lundan."

"Death Knight..."

Wayne murmured, his heart was scratching with curiosity, he wanted to rush to Paris right now to talk to the Headless Horseman for ten dollars.

It’s a pity that I can’t talk about it anymore.

There were a lot of demons over there, and the headless knight's head had been ripped off and kicked around like a ball. His going there could only be considered a small gift for a big sentiment.

"The Death Knight of Londan is very interesting. He was also involved in the rebellion of your family. Do you know who he is?" Delain asked.

"I don't know. I haven't seen it."

Wayne shrugged. To be honest, he had never met the Death Knight of Lundan.

He skillfully shifted the blame and said, "However, I heard that he has settled down in the large cemetery in the west district. He has been sleeping all the time and only goes out occasionally. His willingness to help the Landau family is more or less related to the Church of Death. Perhaps it is the oracle of the Goddess of Death."

"Don't panic, I'm just a little interested, I don't intend to kill your family's meritorious officials."

Delane looked at Wayne and said cheerfully, "You are the one who should be worried. You and the Death Knight of Lundan are from the same era. You will definitely fight each other in the future. Do your best and don't embarrass me."

You sound like you can beat the Headless Horseman!
Wayne rolled his eyes and ignored the funny guy. Delain continued to laugh: "Lendan is lucky. The new Death and Darkness have chosen this place as their base camp. Moonlight Knight is also here... You have joined forces to drive the Windsor royal family out of power. There will definitely be conflicts in the future."

Delane was watching the fun, and when Wayne ignored him, he frowned and looked out the window: "You've taken this detour three times. If you keep going, I'm going to get lost. Take me back now. I want to play cards."

"Moonlight Church Library?"

"No, Philomena's, you are not allowed to interact tonight. You all have to sit down and play cards with me."

Then I won’t go. I saved billions in one night. What a thank you!

It’s better to date a dragon girl, a girl with twin ponytails, or a secretary. Aren’t they attractive?
Wayne sighed, "Delaine, I'm very happy to play cards with you. To be honest, since leaving the Frozen Continent, I have dreamed of playing cards with you several times."

"Haha, stop talking nonsense. Why don't you play cards with me tonight?"

"Busy at work!"

Wayne said in embarrassment: "You have also seen that the Landau family has successfully rebelled. I can invite you to dinner at Buckingham Palace with just one phone call. I am now also the Deputy Minister of Magic. The family needs me to work overtime, so I have to go to the Ministry of Magic to do research."

"What are you researching? Let me take a look." Delain insisted and dragged Wayne to play cards with him.

"It's not appropriate. After all, you are Moon Knight, and you are a hostile force to the Ministry of Magic in Windsor."

"Windsor is also suitable?"

Makes sense.

"You are also the Moonlight Knight. You can go, but I can't?"

It makes so much sense.

When Delain is not playing cards, her IQ is online. She doesn't want to be fooled, and Wayne can't fool her at all. She has already made up her mind, so she has no choice but to take people to the Ministry of Magic headquarters.

----

The Ministry of Magic's headquarters is located in the West End, not far from Buckingham Palace. It covers a large area and has several entrances and exits guarded by dedicated personnel. The security is very strict regardless of day or night.

Especially after Douglas' rebellion and the Landau family's purge of the court, the garrison standards were doubled, and outsiders had to make an appointment in advance to enter.

Members of the royal family are exceptions.

The Ministry of Magic member guarding the gate knew whether Wayne was a member of the royal family. He followed the procedure to inquire about Delain's identity and got the answer from the new secretary.

As expected of a prince, his secretary is so pretty! xN
Noticing the guard's strange look, Delain shook his head repeatedly. The heir's private life was too chaotic. He had never seen a chosen knight with such a loose belt.

The goddess was a bit too hasty.

Delain had no say in who the goddess chose as the knight. The matter was already settled. She just had to follow the goddess' oracle and prevent Wayne from cheating on nature and the sun.

The limousine circled the Ministry of Magic headquarters once, and then a second time.

During the third round, Delain sneered, "Why, can't the deputy minister find his office?"

You saw through me again!

Wayne shrugged. "I know where my office is, but the Landau family is famous for being filial. So late at night, I was struggling over whether or not to pay my respects to my father."

"What's there to worry about? Just go ahead and do it."

"You don't understand. My father, Auston, is the Queen's ex-boyfriend. They... Alas, what misfortune for our family!"

That would be so much fun!

Delain immediately became interested and urged Wayne to go and pay his respects. If she caught something good happening, she would also be able to learn something new.

Wayne, with a look of disgust, took Delain into the office building that originally belonged to the Queen.

boom!
Wayne kicked the door open and saw two people sitting upright in the room without any quarreling. He immediately looked disappointed.

"Wayne you..."

Just as Auston was about to ask a question, he was stunned when he saw the icy beauty next to Wayne.

He pretended not to know and asked curiously, "Who is this lady? Do you have a new love?"

Queen Sophia also looked over. Delain had silver hair and silver eyes. Although there was no magical fluctuation, he was closely related to a magician. She couldn't help but guess his identity.

Dressed in white, a nun sent by the Church of Heavenly Father?

Wow, it’s so beautiful!
"Father, don't talk nonsense. This is Lord Moonlight Knight. He heard that our family has become the new owner of Windsor, and he came from afar to congratulate us."

Sophia: “…”

Her heart aches. She shouldn't have worked overtime tonight. It would have been nice to rest in Buckingham Palace.
