Restarting the myth.

Chapter 370 Humans have their limits, machines become gods
living room.

Wayne sat alone on the sofa, looking through information and maps, occasionally marking on the map with a red pen.

The information was sent by Senna, and it contained dirty laundry involving the Pope and the three high priests of the oracle. Once leaked, the reputation of the entire Natural Church's top brass would collapse.

Although their reputation was mediocre in the past, the fig leaf has always existed. In the eyes of the grassroots believers, the Pope and the high priests of oracle are high above them and are all saints with lofty ideals.

Senna returned to the church headquarters with the Elemental Mantra, and kept in touch with Wayne, waiting for his next order.

In principle, the Knights of Nature have no right to interfere with the Church of Nature. Moreover, Wayne is only the chosen successor of God, not the unique Knight of Nature.

But it is not possible in principle, but it is actually feasible. Wayne just doesn't want to set this precedent.

The church's top brass have too many dark histories, and a simple investigation would reveal a mountain of messes. There's no need to make a big fuss to drive them out of office; just stick the evidence in their faces and that'll be enough.

Only then will Wayne roll up his sleeves and show his muscles if they continue to be unreasonable.

I'm trying to reason with you, and if you don't listen, don't blame me for talking about physics!

In the corner of the living room, the two sisters put their heads together, whispering but not daring to speak loudly.

Because of the halo of the Natural Knight, Wayne's image in Nelson's mind has changed, and he no longer persuades his sister to resign and go home to take over the family business.

From a magician's perspective, the status of the God-chosen Knight is extremely high. Working for the Natural Knight is a job that many people cannot get even if they kneel down.

If Wayne didn't have so many beautiful women around him, and if he didn't flirt with a charming older sister in front of his girlfriend, and his private life was too chaotic, she would have asked her sister to help find him a job.

"Boss, have you found anything?"

Ottilia brought the brewed black tea, filled half a cup for Wayne, and sat beside him to help him summarize the information.

The sitting posture was very intimate, a little more active than usual, and it was as if it was rolled up.

"These materials cannot be used as evidence, and I can't find anything by looking at the map. I'm going out for a walk tonight to collect some substantial evidence." Wayne said without raising his head.

Ottilia pushed her glasses and leaned towards Wayne again. The unique fragrance of a young girl spread out. Before Wayne showed any reaction, her face had already turned red.

"Just be yourself and don't compare yourself to Senna. She is a legendary wizard and has dragon blood. That's not normal." Wayne glanced at Otylia.

Pat the head.JPG
Ottilia was a little dissatisfied. Since their relationship changed, Wayne had been accommodating her, behaving like a gentleman and considerately, no longer having the shameless attitude he had before.

Shame on her, she preferred the bad guy from before.

Otilia knew that Wayne was taking care of her feelings, but the more he did so, the more distant the distance between them became. She mustered up the courage to say, "Boss, I'm not comparing myself with Teacher Senna. I'm your secretary, and Miss Mona is also your secretary. The person I'm comparing myself with is her."

"It's different, you're still my girlfriend."

Then we should be closer. What's the difference between me and Regina now?
Otilia blinked: "Boss, there are too many places marked on the map. Do you need me to go on a mission tonight?"

"Task!"

Regina ran over and said, "Boss, do you have any tasks for me?"

Among the fourteen spirits of vengeance who were packaged at once, she had the highest work enthusiasm, was self-disciplined, rigorous, and meticulous, and would never delay a task until the next day if she could work overtime, which fits Wayne's stereotype of Prussians.

"I do have a mission for you..."

Wayne touched his chin and pointed on the map: "There are several targets in the city. Go check them out. Be careful not to reveal your whereabouts. It doesn't matter if you can't find them. You must not alert the enemy."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"Well, I'll go back and buy you a new bag."

Wayne drew a worthless pie, looked at Otilia and said, "Beauty, do you want to date tonight?"

of course can.

Otilia was about to agree, but she noticed Regina's enthusiasm for work from the corner of her eye, pushed her glasses and said, "Boss, it's working hours now, please don't bring personal relationships into it, it will make me very upset."

Okay, okay, you want to play like this too, right?
Wayne almost laughed out loud, and said with a straight face: "I'm wrong, Secretary. You're going on a mission with me tonight, so perform well, or I'll deduct your salary."

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Ottilia stood up and said.

Regina was confused and puzzled, not understanding what the two were up to. Didn't Ottilia want to be close to the boss? Why did she take the initiative to distance herself from him?

Ready to break up?
Wayne asked Regina to remember the red dot marked on the map and take Ottilia with her to go ahead. Before Regina went out, she was blocked by her sister Nelson.

"Nelson, I have to go to work. You just wait at home. I'll play with you when I come back."

"Is that how you talk to your sister?"

"There are no sisters in the magic world, only strong ones. You taught me this."

The two stared at each other, and Regina shrugged: "The mission is dangerous, I can't take you out. Believe me, you know too much today, which is very unfriendly to your life safety."

Nelson looked at her sister who had made great progress in strength, feeling both envious and happy for her. Then, looking at herself who had remained stagnant, she felt extremely complicated and wanted to turn back into the older sister who could protect her younger sister.

"Regina, does your current strength have anything to do with your knight boss?" Nelson gritted his teeth.

"Yeah, he gave them all to me."

Regina was very sure that everything from food, clothing, shelter, and transportation to life, enhancement, and succubus form was given by Wayne. She didn't have to think too much, she would do whatever Wayne said, and it wouldn't be wrong.

"Well, can you recommend a job for me?" Nelson hesitated. Putting aside his messy private life, Wayne might really be a good boss.

Taking a step back, from the employees’ perspective, what does the boss’s chaotic private life have to do with them?
If we have to say something, it is that employees now have something fun to spice up their boring work.

That’s a good thing!

Nelson forced himself to comfort himself and looked at Regina eagerly, hoping that his sister would help introduce him. Seeing that she frowned and didn't speak, he hurriedly said: "Regina, you know me, I am very capable."

“It’s not a question of whether or not you can do it…”

Regina shook her head. If she worked for Wayne, she would have to die with resentment. She couldn't tell the truth. Seeing her sister's hopeful face, she could only say, "I'll say a few good words for you when the boss comes back, but if he refuses, there's nothing I can do."

"From what you said, he will definitely refuse?"

"If nothing else happens..."

"I'll help you with the task, and you can get extra points for excellent performance."

"No, I won't have you as my sister anymore if you dare to leave this door!"

----

Wien was once the capital of Ostria. After being incorporated into Prussia, it no longer considered itself a capital. Surrounded by dense forests on three sides and with numerous rivers, it is a romantic city covered in greenery and music.

Wayne's goal tonight is far away from the city center. He walks along the Senau River and into the sparsely populated forest area. The night sky is dotted with stars, and the breeze blows. He can still hear the melodious waltz.

This city has a strong music atmosphere. If that person had not taught himself to paint but studied music, maybe...

The pressure is even greater, and you still have to fail the exam.

Learning to paint won’t save Prussia!
Wayne walked through the forest at night at a very fast pace, and Ottilia followed closely behind him. Her own strength improved with Wayne's, and it increased so fast that she herself was a little frightened.

The two of them walked quickly for ten minutes, and Wayne seemed to have his own magnetic field radar. He crossed mountains and ridges and came to a hidden mountain path.

He stepped on the road and said, "It has a good load-bearing capacity, but it's a pity to use it for civilian use, especially in such a remote valley..."

You've found the right place!
The first target had a great harvest. Wayne secretly thought that he was extremely lucky. He made a gesture to Ottilia and then communicated only with thoughts.

The two men walked forward again and soon arrived at a military restricted area. Several searchlights swept the shadows of the surrounding forest, and several teams of soldiers with live ammunition set up checkpoints.

Wayne hesitated whether to sneak in. Tonight was not the time to close the net and it would be a bad idea to alert the enemy.

But since he was already here, there was no reason to be scared away by a few Prussian soldiers. He was not a Frank and could not withstand loud shouting in Prussian.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Wayne avoided the searchlights and walked towards the military restricted area. With his thinking ability, the entire military restricted area including the underground bunker were within the coverage range, which was enough to distort the perception of these soldiers so that they would pretend not to notice his presence at all.

Just in case, Wayne didn't go too far. He avoided where he needed to and sneaked through the checkpoints perfectly, only deceiving the guards at the entrance to the underground castle.

The entrance to the castle is covered by a heavy iron door, and the passages are crisscrossed like a huge maze.

As soon as he entered the door, Wayne felt a cool breeze blowing in his face, and there was a faint roar of huge machines, as if something was being dug during the night.

Before traveling through time, Wayne had heard a lot of descriptions about Prussian black technology, as well as mysterious and dark black magic such as hellology and alchemy.

What you said makes sense. If it weren't for the Allied Captain Stars and Stripes who was even more outrageous, it would be hard to say who would win or lose in this battle.

Off topic.

Wayne scattered his thoughts, crawled along the wall of the underground castle, and sorted out a complex three-dimensional terrain map in his mind.

It is a large underground base with several large scientific research laboratories, and there are some studies that Wayne is very interested in.

"Void Life..."

"Hell container..."

"A large number of magical weapons. Prussia has indeed mastered a lot of black technology..."

Wayne opened his eyes, rubbed his hands, and took Ottilia to the first laboratory. The research data would be helpful to his evolution. The underground castle was a treasure trove of knowledge for him.

It was not a wasted trip. We can continue to fleece Prussia for a long time.

There is no two-shift system in the laboratory, and there is no such thing as staying up late to work overtime. Scientific researchers are treasures wherever they are. Now it is almost late at night, and although the lights in the laboratory are on, most of the scientific researchers have returned to the dormitory to rest.

Wayne and Otilia picked up the white coats hanging on the wall and put them on. With their powerful thinking, excellent eloquence and friendly smile, they made several bright-headed researchers believe that he was a newcomer.

With someone to guide him, it was convenient for Wayne to borrow data.

He quickly wrote down the experimental data and found a directory in the top-secret archives that recorded the locations of several other scientific research bases in Prussia.

This catalogue alone was worth Wayne's trip.

Otilia helped sort out the information. The shocking research data made her scalp numb, especially the mass-produced void soldiers. The bold design concept really shocked her. As everyone knows, the most critical and important information is not kept in the laboratory, but in the safe in the base commander's office.

Wayne reaped a lot and his desire became stronger. He went to the office alone, skillfully pried open the doors and locks, opened several layers of the door, and got the important information he wanted.

When Wayne saw it, his scalp tingled.

Naturally, the cooperation between the church and the Prussian authorities far exceeded his expectations. To be precise, it was Pope Ludwig who had previously provided a lot of assistance to help Prussia expand its war potential.

From energy to reserves, the combination of magic and machinery creates wonderful sparks. In a design drawing, magicians and artillery are integrated into one, and the advanced concept is very cyber-style.

"Good stuff. If he succeeds, sweeping across the God's Chosen Continent won't be a dream."

Wayne was both surprised and delighted. What surprised him was Prussia's war background. If the ideas in the design had come true, they could have broken through the impregnable defense line from the front.

Of course, this is based on the premise that other churches stand idly by.

The good news is that Wayne himself can also use the design concept. The Pale Knight is good at using cold weapons, but it does not say that they cannot be converted into hot weapons. This idea is worth exploring and has opened the door to a new world in front of him.

Wayne flipped through the documents in the safe and became more and more frightened.

"It mentions the Gate of Hell, as well as detailed records of summoning the seven great devil containers, and has made impressive progress..."

"The geothermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and then into electrical energy. The machine just now is... This pipe is inserted really deep. Aren't you afraid of digging the entrance to hell?"

"Traces of the devil's blood..."

"Theoretical research and conception of the God-chosen Knights. Without the real objects, we cannot study them. Seal them..."

"Magic aircraft, super aerial fortress, absolute air supremacy..."

"Heavy nuclear fission reaction..."

"The world has suffered for a long time. Humans have their limits. Machines can become gods..."

"What exactly is the belief in God? What does information pollution mean to God..."

Half an hour later, Wayne put down all the information and felt uneasy for a long time.

It is just a scientific research base, but the accumulated results make the Ministry of Magic in Windsor seem small and petty.

It's not that Windsor's research team is incompetent, but that there is a gap in concepts. Windsor's legendary wizards are too conservative and selfish, and their research projects are only for themselves. Prussia is different. Every research is planned for the possibility of mass production.

First for military use, then for civilian use, and the research funds are used to continue investing in military use, repeating the cycle and keeping the capital chain flowing.

"It's great, but can this thing be promoted for civilian use?"

Wayne looked at the stacks of design drawings. The magician's flesh and blood were replaced by guns and cannons. The fusion of planes and tanks was outrageous, and there was also a fusion of battleships and aircraft carriers.

"How can this thing be promoted for civilian use? Mechanical ascension for all the people, right?"

Wayne couldn't complain as the scene of London being attacked by air flashed before his eyes. A half-human, half-fighter style monster had its chest split open and aimed at Buckingham Palace and threw a fat man.

With a loud bang, the island country was attacked by nuclear weapons again.

Queen Jade Voice Broadcast...

Oh, the Queen was nuked, and Auston's words spread throughout Windsor, and everyone raised their hands in surrender.

"If all of Prussia's conceptual drawings come true, the Gate of Hell and the like will seem to be just average." Wayne put the information back in place, erased his own traces, and took Ottilia to the next target.

"Boss, you look terrible."

"Well, Prussia has the ability to open the gates of hell, and it is very likely that he has contacted a certain devil of hell. This news must be passed to the Holy See as soon as possible. Even if it is just a possibility, Prussia cannot be allowed to act recklessly." Wayne's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川".

The known locations where the gates of hell open are the underground tomb of Paris, and the location of London is yet to be determined. Now there is another one, Prussia, but the specific location is unknown.

There was nothing wrong with seven reincarnated angels descending at once. Wayne had thought it was too many before, but now he thought it was too few. Seven was not enough, there needed to be at least 70, otherwise it would be useless if it blocked the east but not the west.

"Have you found evidence of cooperation between the top leaders of the Natural Church and Prussia?"

"It's not really evidence. It's just Prussia's personal opinion. We can't do anything to anyone without the account books," Wayne said.

The document only mentioned that Pope Ludwig provided technical assistance, but did not specify what technology it was. Moreover, it happened many years ago, and Ludwig could have easily found a reason to distance himself from the matter.

Wayne had a headache. His target of investigation was the top leaders of the Natural Church, but as he was investigating, he turned to the daring Prussia.

What that person said is so right. We can’t check everything. What if we find out something?

Wayne hasn't done much research yet, but so many bombshells have already been revealed. If he really digs deeper...

"Wait, since I can find out, the Papal State, as the number one power in the Chosen Continent, must also know about it. That old man Huang couldn't sleep for days and nights, and he was in a hurry to find the reincarnated angel. It's probably because he knows too much."

Wayne hesitated for a moment and decided that he could remind the Papal States, but he couldn't always be the first to rush forward. In case there was a traitor in the Papal States and sent his information to hell, the devil would definitely find a way to open a door in London to cause trouble for him.

After thinking about it, it would be more reasonable to give the hint through the official channels of the Natural Church. This would not only provide information about the Gate of Hell, but also allow the Natural Church to sever its relationship with Prussia.

The past is the past, the previous Pope was not a human being, but the present is the present. Under the leadership of the Knights of Nature, the new Pope is a well-behaved person and is working hard to bring benefits to the Chosen Continent.

"Perfect, let's do it!"

Wayne finalized the follow-up plan and prepared to cut the Gordian knot. He worked overtime for the next few days and investigated all targets at once. He asked Senna to take the evidence to clean up the high-level insects, and then contacted the Papal States as the Pope.

Just as he was thinking, Siwei received a message from Regina and turned to look in the direction of the city.

"You are so unlucky that you have to face this..."

----

Urban area, abandoned factory building.

Following Wayne's orders, Regina arrived at the third investigation site and surveyed the surrounding area. She did not go deeper immediately, but went into the sewer to check the surrounding terrain.

This stronghold is the territory of Weaving, the high priest of the Natural Church. He provides manpower and technology, while the Prussian authorities provide funds and equipment. The two sides cooperate in a friendly manner and share experimental results.

The research of the base revolves around the flesh and blood of giant star beasts. When a fire broke out in the warehouse of the Church of Nature's headquarters, the base had more research materials.

The research and development project is the mass production of void soldiers. The upper level is the laboratory and the lower level is the weapons factory. It has now entered the large-scale production stage.

At the factory gate, several military cars stopped and more than a dozen officers got out, including the oracle high priest Weaving.

This is a middle-aged man with a gentle smile, wearing a neat suit and no robe. He looks more like a social elite, a doctor or a lawyer.

Regina was waiting nearby. She had seen Weaving's photo in the information and recognized his face. Without thinking too much, she immediately thought of contacting Wayne.

Big fish, we can catch it tonight!

"Generals, you have already inspected the factory before. I will not accompany you on the tour tonight. Please allow me to leave for a while." Weiwen politely led a team of officers to the entrance of the factory and asked the person in charge to receive them.

"Mr. Weaving, I have a few very important questions here."

"Sorry, I have more important issues here."

Weaving smiled slightly and glanced at where Regina was hiding, "There's a little mouse to clean up. It'll bother us if we leave it alone, won't it?"

The two officers suddenly understood and nodded with a smile.

They were not worried about any accident happening to Weaving. The legendary wizard was already the best in the world, and as long as he didn't run into the chosen knight of God, he could go anywhere.

Especially high-ranking church officials like Weaving, the high priest of oracle, are top-notch among legendary wizards.

"Mr. Weaving, I hope you will return soon."

"It won't take long."

"As it should be."

A few people smiled at each other, and a group of officers followed the person in charge into the factory.

Weaving turned and looked in the direction where Regina disappeared. His smile faded and his brows turned sinister for a moment: "Whose man, Baker or McCarey?"

"These two guys left Senna alone and came to deal with me. Do they really think that woman will stay still?"

Weaving took a step forward and his body disappeared as if he had teleported. After a few steps, he had closed the distance between him and Regina.

Noticing Regina moving towards the forest on the outskirts of the city, he remained calm and said, "Run, where can you run to today? Just wait to die!"

……

On the banks of the Senau River.

The wide river flows peacefully, and the lights in the distance illuminate the night sky, with two colors of stars shining brightly.

Regina was covered in a black robe and stopped by the river without moving. A pale, wrinkled mask was stuck to her face, with deep spiral wrinkles at the eye sockets.

The mask looks ominous.

"Why don't you run away?"

Weiwen looked around and said contemptuously, "You choose to die here, or your accomplices are nearby. If it's the latter, don't wait any longer. I can tell you responsibly that your accomplices have given up on you. There are no living people nearby."

"You can't say that. I have always been alive."

A soft whisper came from afar, lingering in my ears and unable to be dispelled, as if it was far away and yet close to my heart.

Weiwen's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he turned around abruptly and looked over: "Who's there, Ludwig, is it you?"

In the darkness, a twisted shadow stretched infinitely.

"Jiejiejiejie————"
