Chapter 367 Divine Fire
The time came to November 1940.

Half a year had passed since Wayne was promoted to the Golden Mage realm. With his huge reserves of the four elements and terrifying amount of knowledge, he filled the life and space in the Golden Triangle.

Needless to say, the quantity and quality of his thoughts cannot be compared with that of a golden mage or even a legendary mage of the same level.

Five God-chosen artifacts x2, Sword of Oath x2, Obelisk x4, Devil Investor xN, plus some scattered gifts from nature. He consumed a huge amount of resources at the level of Golden Mage.

Excellent talent is a good thing, but also a bad thing. Take Wayne as an example. If the foundation had not been too high, so many resources would have been enough to make him a demigod.

Even this, thanks to working on scientific research day and night and relying solely on meditation, will take at least half a year.

In the past six months, Prussia has won three consecutive championships in the Tour de France Tank Rally and established a dynasty!
Wayne is now just one step away from becoming a legendary wizard, lacking an opportunity for a qualitative change.

The legendary wizard is a sublimated golden wizard, and in essence he still uses the golden triangle. After the promotion, the golden triangle will not be broken, and life, emptiness and self will become more compatible and stable, as if they were welded together and unbreakable.

According to Delain, the legendary wizard is a further enhancement of the golden wizard. The qualitative change allows the life barrier to expand into a life force field. It can freely enter and exit the void, reject knowledge and pollution, and will not fall into madness.

Not only can you reject knowledge, you can also reject changes in the essence of life!
Of course, the legendary wizard can also choose to accept knowledge and pollution. The essence of both points to evolution. If he rejects them all, he will lose the possibility of evolution.

Having come this far, no legendary wizard would choose to stand still.

Give it one more try, just in case it works!
If you succeed, you will become a demigod.

According to Delain, demigods belong to another realm. In the realm of demigods, there is no golden triangle. Life, emptiness, and self are shattered by transcendent power and completely merged into one.

At this point, the magician has formed a perfect self. Corresponding to the current Mona, there is no golden triangle in her body.

A legendary wizard can refuse change, but a demigod can impose change on the outside world.

The life force field is upgraded to the realm of life and is no longer a false world. Demigods can impart their knowledge to others and change their thinking, ideas, and even the essence of life.

Wayne often does this kind of thing, which is to create followers.

The difference is that the followers he created are more stable, while the followers of demigods will change their appearance and personality according to the law of information, distorting the original essence of life and becoming extremely unstable.

A similar situation can be seen in the case of Ngeima, the bloody monarch of Dragon Heart Island, who robbed the faith of the sea god and turned believers into crocodile men.

You can also refer to the Thousand-Eyed Demon's pollution of believers, it means the same thing.

Demigod is a very vague concept with a huge range of powers. The strong ones can occupy land in hell and become demon kings, while the weak ones can only watch their territory being divided up.

The gap is so big that tragedies often happen when they meet each other and are rejected the second they meet.

The key lies in the amount of knowledge reserves. Knowledge is power. Whoever reads more has absolutely powerful power.

According to Delain, the seven devil kings of hell are all demigods, the subordinate gods of gods are also demigods, and the same is true for the four archangels. They are the best among the demigods and may become new gods at any time.

Of course, this has a crucial premise: the power of a demigod comes from his own practice, rather than a gift from a higher level of life.

For example, there are two types of familiars: one is the devil that climbs up from the bottom, and the other is the devil forged by the Demon King using the field of life. Although both are familiars, the latter gains powerful strength at the moment of birth, but loses the possibility of continuing to evolve.

If they want to evolve, they can. When their master becomes stronger, they will become stronger as well.

This is very similar to Wayne's Spirit of Vengeance. The stronger Wayne is, the stronger they are.

No matter how strong one is, there must be a limit. Strength can grow without limit, but the limit of one's realm can only be demigod. If one wants to achieve godhood, one needs to ignite something called 'divine fire'.

This is beyond Delain's knowledge. Don't ask, I just don't know.

The above are all the information Wayne won from the poker table. Delain put everything on the poker table. If Wayne wants, he can only win everything with his own hands.

Honestly, it's not difficult at all.

……

High Priest Manor, living room.

Wayne's voice came from behind the chips: "Another nine wins in a row. I don't understand why it is so difficult to lose!"

As he spoke, there was a burst of sighs, something about just wanting to lose and the existence of gambling monsters, which made Delainen so angry that his teeth itched.

Big sister Moonlight Knight is an old rogue at the poker table. She can bear this kind of injustice because she has practiced the table-flipping technique for so many years.

It can't be!

With a deafening bang, the chips in front of Wayne were cleared, and the card table returned to its faithful ceiling again.

"What's so great about winning nine games in a row? I even lost nine games in a row. Am I proud?"

Delain put his fingers together to form a sword, scolded Wayne's sarcastic behavior, and reiterated that it was not that he could not afford to lose, but that his upright chivalry spirit could not bear to see villains succeed.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I can't stand seeing villains succeed. I'm the villain, and you're the knight."

Wayne continued to speak in a sarcastic tone: "Then the question is, a villain like me is behind the chips, where does your chivalry see me?"

"How ridiculous! I will kill you today!"

Delain was filled with rage and pulled out his Bai Ye Zhen Yan, ready to shoot Wayne into briquettes.

He didn't pull it out, Bai Ye Zhenyan was in Wayne's hands, and he lost in the last round.

According to the bet, she now has to call Wayne dad.

How could a man have any bad intentions? He doesn't covet your money, nor does he want you. He just wants you to call him dad.

"I am so angry!"

Delane was furious and yelled several times, waving his hand to call back the card table and chips. He stood up from where he fell and wanted to take back everything he lost at the gambling table.

Then she lay prone where she had fallen.

Delain: 0(3)～('3」∠)_
"That's you. If it were any other woman, she would have gone home with me tonight."

Taking advantage of Delain's bad luck, Wayne won nine games in a row, and at the same time he was harsh in his words and made some insults.

Auston asked Wayne to find a way to take down DeLaine and make him his own person who knew him well, so as to plant a chess piece and obtain more advanced intelligence.

There is no need to be so troublesome at all. Wayne can get the information he wants by playing cards.

Wayne got the information from Delain by playing cards about what the monsters in the inner world were. The latter told the Moonlight Goddess about it. The Goddess said nothing and formed a group of girlfriends to discuss it with the Goddesses of Nature and Sun.

Delain had no right to know the outcome of the discussion. From what she said, it seemed that the Moonlight Goddess was not clear about the monster's background.

"Wayne, why hasn't William come yet?"

Delain's card-playing friends, apart from his loved-hate heir Wayne, are the master-disciple duo Philomena and Chris.

"I've already called. According to the time, he should be here." Wayne looked at his watch.

"No way, it's been several rounds, why hasn't it come yet?"

"Because you lose too quickly."

Wayne shrugged, stood up and put on the coat on the chair: "I have to go to the Ministry of Magic headquarters for a meeting. I won't accompany you from now on. You can form a table when William arrives."

"How do you get so many meetings every day?"

"I must attend the small meeting, otherwise I will be represented. I cannot be absent from the large meeting. It cannot be held without me. This is the price of rebellion." Wayne sighed.

"Okay, okay, finish early and come back early. So many people are waiting for you!" Delain waved his hand and immediately perked up when he heard the footsteps at the door.

William is here!

Delain was very curious about how Wayne and William in the surface world interacted with each other on a daily basis, and what the attitudes of Wayne's girlfriends were when they interacted.

I just happened to see it clearly today.

Then she saw a girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails bouncing in.

"Who are you?"

"Willie."

"???"

How about a William that big as me?

----

Ministry of Magic Headquarters.

Small meeting.

Because it is a small meeting and those present are senior decision-makers, it is very important.

After the small meeting is over, it is time to organize a general meeting to announce the results of the meeting to everyone.

The meeting was chaired by Minister of Magic Queen Sophia, Deputy Minister Yvette, the Landaus father and son, and the current Lord of the Admiralty Winston Chute.

Winston has already formed a new cabinet and will take office when the right opportunity comes.

The present Prime Minister is a character, remarkable in every respect, and is an excellent choice both as a wartime Prime Minister and as the first choice in peacetime.

It’s a pity that I met a guy with a mustache who likes to give speeches in bars.

The little mustache is as strong as a god of war!
The international situation deteriorated and Windsor's economy entered a cold winter. The country was fully stockpiling strategic materials, and the most basic daily necessities could not be guaranteed, so it turned to a rationing system.

Bacon, eggs, sugar, and butter all had to be registered and rationed, and even buying clothes required cloth coupons.

Interestingly, this decision was strongly supported by ordinary people in Windsor because during the war, the quality of life of ordinary people improved due to rationing!

How can this country be so unfaithful to its people?

I am lost in thought, and I ask myself;
It’s Wen, that’s okay!
The quality of life of the common people has improved, but the pockets of the masters have become empty. The superiors and the subordinates are confused, and the priorities are reversed. The country is in such a mess, and the current prime minister cannot escape the blame. He must take the blame.

This matter was finalized last year, when there were two candidates competing, Winston from the Chute family and Rupert from the Wilson family.

Both members of the Tulip family are involved in politics and military circles. They are equally powerful and neither is much stronger than the other. Winston's ability to stand out has little to do with him personally. It is simply because Rupert made the wrong choice.

In that year when the imperial court was purged, Auston stood there like a minion and was attacked by Rupert who jumped on his face and started to attack him crazily.

Later, Austin stopped acting and revealed the huge team of knights behind his family. He declined three times and finally accepted Queen Sophia's unreasonable request for regent.

Auston went up, and Rupert, who was angry, naturally came down. Winston was successfully elected as the next prime minister because of his silence.

The situation is roughly as described above. It won't be long before Winston becomes the new Prime Minister. He has already started his internship, such as attending important meetings and taking over the mess left by the previous cabinet.

He was invited to attend today's small meeting.

"Prussia has increased its troops in the northern small country of the Chosen Continent. After clearing the surrounding hidden dangers, the next step will be to launch an offensive against the Allied forces. It is expected that this will not take too long..."

"From last year till now, we have successively sent more than 100,000 expeditionary forces to our ally Frank..."

"The defense is impregnable!"

"Three million against three million. Prussia has limited resources and cannot sustain a war of attrition..."

"The advantage is mine!"

The Queen presided over the meeting without saying a word, while Auston and Winston took turns speaking.

Wayne didn't say anything. He glanced at the famous defense line on the map, picked up the book in his hand and started reading - My Struggle.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. At any time and in any place, we must have a detailed and specific understanding of the enemy.

Wayne has read this book twice and gained something from it each time. Putting aside the author himself, who is a crazy speaker, the strong willpower and fighting spirit revealed between the lines are worth remembering by everyone.

Whether history is good or bad, there are always things that can be learned and inspired. Whether it is for learning or avoiding risks, reading history is a good habit.

By 1940, the Frank Intelligence Agency had become increasingly close to Wayne, and would always ask about the strategic intentions of the Windsor upper echelons.

Are they determined to make money, or are they determined to fight Prussia? The God's Chosen Continent is such a small place, and Prussia is the only one in power. If Windsor wants to make money in the future, he will have to depend on Prussia's face. Even if he kneels, he can only get 30%. He will definitely be determined to fight Prussia.

This is beyond doubt.

The fact that Frank asks this question every time only shows that the internal situation is unstable and the surrender faction is powerful.

As for why they asked Wayne, this is also very simple. Although the Frank Intelligence Agency's business capabilities are average, they are neither blind nor deaf. They have already found out the changes in Windsor's decision-making level.

The Landau family succeeded in purging the royal family, and the royal power fell into the hands of others. Queen Sophia was a puppet of the Landau family. If there is no next queen to succeed the throne of Windsor, Auston will pass Sophia to Wayne when he retreats behind the scenes.

Our Frank's super agent is going to become the leader of Windsor!

Cannon fodder → spy → senior agent → super agent.

The entire Frank Intelligence Agency's top brass was filled with a warm atmosphere of jubilation. Misled by outside rumors, they firmly believed that Auston treated Wayne as his own son and trusted him very much. He did not treat him as an outsider's son-in-law, but as his own son and heir.

Influenced by rumors from the outside world, he began to suspect that Wayne was really the long-lost bloodline of the Landau family.

Is it possible that when Auston came to Paris for a trip, he was influenced by the romantic atmosphere and thus Wayne was born?
Don't say it, it's very likely.

Auston is a conspirator who wants to purge the emperor's court to gain power. It is impossible for him to be so nice to Wayne if they are not related by blood.

Comparing the photos of the two, it is obvious that Wayne is a mixed-race of two countries and inherited the excellent genes of the Franks.

After Sora received orders from the Intelligence Bureau, his attitude towards Wayne changed from intimidation and inducement at the beginning to flattery now.

Don't forget your friends when you become rich and powerful. Don't forget your family just because you become a prince. Frank is your real root. Now the country is in trouble, it's time for you to stand up.

Unfortunately, Sora did not meet Wayne, and these words were relayed by Mona, with a few angry rebukes from the Archangel inserted in between.

Wayne was so busy being scolded that he didn't hear clearly what Mona said and didn't take it to heart.

What about being mixed-blooded from two countries? That's all nonsense. He is a genuine old Union Jack aristocrat from London and has no white genes. How could those stinky outsiders come here to try to cheat him?

"Wayne, did you hear what Deputy Minister Yvette said?"

"Ah! Huh?"

Wayne looked away from the book: "Which sentence, is the meeting starting now?"

Austin's face was dark, and he said stiffly, "It is supported by the religious forces in Prussia. Naturally, the church is very close to Prussia. In case the church suddenly joins the war, I need you to get some information."

For something like this, can't you just go home and ask your wife?

Wayne blinked, and Auston understood immediately and continued, "You have connections at the Natural Church headquarters. You can smooth things over there and see what the Natural Church is really planning to do. Are they really supporting Prussia or are they just pretending to support it?"

"I understand."

Wayne nodded and turned his eyes back to the book.

The conversation between the father and son made the newcomer Winston secretly suspicious. He felt that Auston was unable to control Wayne. It is worth pondering who is in charge of the Landau family.

Winston glanced at Wayne inconspicuously. Could he be the real leader?
Noticing the attention, Wayne smiled at him, handed him a piece of cake and a bowl of soup, saying, "Work hard, young man. You will be rewarded with good food and good drinks in the future."

Wayne fed the cake as usual, then lowered his head to think about the possibility of a combination of the Natural Church and Prussia.

Don't mention it, the possibility is very high. The headquarters of the Natural Church is located in Osteria, the back garden of Prussia, a good place for art students to find jobs after failing the exam.

Just because of this bad fate, it is possible that the Church will stand on Prussia's side.

Wayne raised his hand and touched his chin. The current Pope Ludwig is ready to resign. He has completed his mission and is about to go to the kingdom of God. He has a bright future ahead of him and will not be entangled in a world war.

If you win the bet, it won’t add much to your success; if you lose, all the prestige and credit you have accumulated will go down the drain.

Ludwig was a smart man and knew what to choose.

In other words, even if the Natural Church actively sided with Prussia, it had little to do with Ludwig.

Senna’s face popped up in front of Wayne’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. Could it be... that this guy was behind this?
Ludwig is about to step down as Pope. Senna has the support of the heir of the Knights of Nature. Among all the high priests of the oracle, she has the strongest trump cards and capital.

Apart from the fact that the idea of ​​relying on promotion devices to get promoted sounds a bit harsh, there is nothing wrong with it.

If he wants to reverse the public opinion, he must accomplish some achievements when he takes office, such as taking advantage of the war to expand the influence of the Natural Church.

Prussia is in its heyday and is the best choice.

"Crazy woman, it can't be you..."

Wayne felt it necessary to visit the headquarters of the Natural Church. The international situation was in a state of disarray and the people of the world were suffering. If the joining of the Natural Church led to the entry of several other churches, and a war of faith broke out on the basis of the world war, the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Wayne made up his mind.

He has been stuck at a bottleneck recently and is in urgent need of an opportunity. Going out for a walk might help him pick up new gifts from nature.

Then there is Pope Ludwig. We were helpless against him last time, but this time we are determined to kill him no matter what.

If you want to go to God’s kingdom and live a carefree life, wait for your next life!
----

"You're going to the Nature Church headquarters?"

In the study at Landau Manor, Auston looked at Wayne in surprise: "I just mentioned it in the meeting, why do you take it so seriously?"

"It is our responsibility to maintain world peace."

"If you want to maintain world peace, you should stay at home and not go anywhere," Austin complained.

"No, it will attract the devil to Lundan."

"..."

It was a well-founded argument, and Auston couldn't refute it.

Wayne told his own guess that the Natural Church would not support Prussia without reason. It must be that the top leaders wanted to expand the influence of the church, and it was most likely Senna.

This woman is crazy. If we leave her alone, God knows what she will do.

Wayne still remembers that Xifei commented that Senna was a warmongerer, and the other world also proved this point. Without anyone to suppress her from above, Senna would definitely dare to provoke a war of faith.

Wayne thought about it and realized that no one could suppress Senna except him.

"You're so serious all of a sudden, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"I've seen too many tragedies in the other world, and I don't want the outside world to become like this."

"..."

ε=(′д`*)))x2
Life is not easy, the father and son sighed.

Auston agreed to Wayne's long journey. With him in charge of London, there would not be any major trouble. He asked Wayne who he wanted to bring with him.

"I'm going to the Natural Church headquarters to clear out the bad guys. I'm not going there for a trip, so I won't bring anyone with me."

Wayne pondered for a moment and decided to pick a few spirits of vengeance to take with him, leaving Mona/Heshuno in Lundan in case the devil suddenly jumped out of the bushes.

There is one or more powerful demons hidden in Lendan. The possibility of the gate of hell opening in Lendan cannot be ruled out. The Dark Knight alone cannot stop the demons, and the Archangel must stay.

Thinking of this, Wayne couldn't help but pat his forehead. Another place where the gate of hell opened was in Frank Paris. The hundred-year friendship was not an empty talk. We may not share the happiness together, but we will never let each other go in times of trouble.

When mentioning Paris, Wayne thought of the Headless Horseman. He wondered what the unfortunate guy's situation was like now, how much of his self-esteem he could still maintain, how far the devil had gone in his plan against Frank, and how far the Vatican's plan to encircle and suppress the devil had gone.

Wayne decided to contact the Vatican to inquire about the plan against the devil. If he could be promoted to a legendary wizard during this trip and happened to have time, he could consider participating in the encirclement and suppression plan of the underground tomb.

It is better to get rid of the Headless Horseman's worry as soon as possible. In these troubled times, we cannot allow any more trouble to occur.

……

"What, you're going to the Nature Church headquarters?"

In the living room of the High Priest's Manor, Delain's voice came from behind the chips. She flipped the table and pointed at herself and said, "What should I do if you leave?"

"Is this your line? It's more like what they said." Wayne pointed at DeLaine's poker partner.

"I'll say it for them. It's all the same."

"no the same!"

"How much do you dislike me, kid?"

Delain curled her lips. Although she had no intention of inheriting the fine tradition of the Moonlight Church of giving away things for free, this was not a reason for Wayne to not be interested in her.

They are all gangsters. How can she, a Moonlight Knight, have no dignity?

After thinking about this, Delain gave up and said, "Well, anyway, I should leave in the next two days and go back to the Frozen Continent to replace Leo. It's his turn to rest and carry out the oracle of the Sun Goddess."

One of the oracles of the Sun Goddess, going to the underworld to collect negative information.

Let's put it this way, this is a long-term task. Except for the Dark Knight who is still leveling up and the Death Knight who has been offline for a long time, the remaining three Chosen Knights have to carry out this task every once in a while.

The goddess has ideas about negative information and is very likely to have found the right way to open it.

At this point, Delain glanced at Willy. Although they were of different genders, they both loved Wayne, so they were consistent in their words and deeds. When she met Leo, she would tell him about this and ask Leo to come to London to see if Willy, the spare tire, had any chance of getting promoted.

If there is, that would be the best. It would completely stop Leo from thinking about her and prevent him from clamoring to snatch Wayne away from her arms all day long.

Delain's lips curled up, thinking to himself that this was a sure thing.

"By the way, Delain, please tell Mr. Mura that if he can avoid using the elemental mantra recently, he should not use it. I can use it in a very important way." Wayne asked Delain to say something.

"You already have Bai Ye Zhen Yan!"

Delain sneered. She had no control over the heir's chaotic private life. Let him do whatever he wanted. She would never allow Bai Ye Zhenyan to suffer any grievances with Wayne.

"Delain, you misunderstood. I practiced the elemental mantras for Bai Ye Zhen Yan." Wayne sighed and misunderstood him again.

"How is it possible? A bow and a sword look different!"

----

The camera turns and Wayne's schedule is filled with his secretary.

The schedule is too long and every time I go out, I am busy for several days.

It was still the same old routine. Mona took on 80% of the output, and occasionally let Hexiunuo take over. The Archangel was so angry that he either pretended to be Mona or completely broke down and cursed Wayne.

In the middle of the night, Wayne calmed down the situation and held Mona in his arms and said, "He Xiunuo, I have to go on a long journey. You stay in Lundan to guard against the devil's sneak attack."

"Boss, I'm Mona!"

"No, Mona won't argue at this time. She knows what tune I like."

"..."

He Xiunuo gritted his teeth and was feeling depressed when he saw Wayne handing him the Sword of Oath.

"This sword will be even more powerful in your and Mona's hands. No matter how much you dislike me, I fully approve of your attitude of slaying all demons."

Wayne said seriously, "I will contact the Vatican during this trip to ask about the situation in Paris, whether the reincarnated angels have awakened, and whether they are ready to surround the devil."

After hearing this, He Xiunuo calmed down and agreed with Wayne's attitude towards the devil. This was the only bright spot in her body that made her very satisfied.

She pondered for a moment, put away the Sword of Oath, took a few deep breaths, and lowered her head to kiss Wayne.

After the verbal battle, Hexunuo stopped talking with an expressionless face and said indifferently: "Don't get me wrong. In order to prevent other reincarnated angels from noticing the clues, I have engraved the holy mark on you. To the outside world, you can call yourself Archangel Hexunuo. This is your proof."

Wayne: (ω)
"Damn, what's that expression on your face!"
