Chapter 39 Lord of the Void
Garden gazebo.

Wayne lay on the bench, closed his eyes and meditated, blending into nature in order to capture more elemental light.

Veronica called last night, and Wayne heard the irrepressible joy in her words and thought that the matter was done and his father-in-law had dealt with that big shot.

It turned out not to be the case. Veronica asked Wayne to wait a little longer. Mr. Landau was busy with this matter, but unfortunately no breakthrough was made.

Just ask and it will be done soon.

Wayne had no choice but to ask Veronica to convey a message to Mr. Landau, thanking him for his great help and saying that he would never refuse any request for help in the future.

Wayne didn't ask why Veronica was so happy, but he guessed that she graduated successfully.

Damn genius, take advantage of the time and laugh a little longer while you can still laugh. Once Wayne rolls up, you won’t be able to laugh anymore.

Wayne had food and drink in the town of Enroard, lived in a mansion, ate and drank top-quality ingredients, had a luxury car when he went out, and had a butler and maid when he returned home. He had no obsession with returning to Lundan as soon as possible.

He only thinks about three things now: meditation, meditation, and meditation!
Even if that big shot hadn't stopped him, he still had the confinement magic of his teacher, the Queen Sister, on him. He couldn't return to Lundan anyway, so he might as well devote 10,000% of his energy to cultivation.

In addition, Wayne was quite ashamed of his long-term behavior of benefiting from the Landau family. He provided them with food and accommodation and helped them deal with the big bosses in the underworld. Mr. Landau was so good to him. If they did not develop into a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, he didn't know how to repay the favor.

"Master Wayne, there are two detectives visiting the door. They call themselves Wesley and Hood." Butler Fla came to the garden and bowed outside the pavilion.

The butler calls Wayne "Young Master" because the mistress, Healy, values ​​Wayne very much and the two of them have a teacher-student relationship.

If it was just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, Fla would not change the address, but Sifie specifically reminded him to be as respectful to Wayne as he was to members of the Landau family.

There are not many members in the Landau family. Ignoring some insignificant distant relatives, there are only three heavyweight figures: the male host, the female host, and the eldest daughter. There is nothing wrong with calling Wayne "young master".

Wayne once tried to get the butler to change his address, but the effect was not so good, so he just went along with it.

The young master is the young master, just don’t call him Master Wayne.

"Why did the two of them come to see me?"

Wayne stopped meditating and pondered for a moment, thinking that there was something else behind yesterday's case.

"Master Wayne, do we need to drive them away?"

"No, let them in."

Wayne shook his head slightly. He dared to bet with Abin's nose that the murderer was a middle-aged man. The smell was overwhelming, and there was no doubt about it.

Wayne guessed that the method of murder in a closed room was inconsistent with his reasoning. The middle-aged man was not hiding behind the door, but standing behind the curtain. The two detectives came to tell the truth and exchanged experience with this excellent detective colleague to make progress together.

"Master Wayne, the two gentlemen have arrived." Butler Fla bowed and stepped back, ordering the maid to bring a pot of black tea.

Wesley and Hood looked at the worthless manor, and then heard the butler address Wayne, and fell into silence for a short time. People do not share the same joys and sorrows, and they just felt that Wayne's face suddenly became ugly.

Damn rich young master!
Hood knew who the villa belonged to, the local number one capitalist, the Landau family, which was very prestigious in London; Wesley also knew it, he saw the Landau family emblem at the door, but he didn't expect Wayne to belong to this family.

Three hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Windsor had not yet carried out constitutional monarchy reform. The royal family had a Tulip Corps directly under its command, consisting entirely of noble knights, and was synonymous with elegance and power.

As time passed, the Tulip Army was disbanded and evolved into fourteen families, scattered throughout the Kingdom of Windsor, collectively called the Tulip Family.

The family crests of these fourteen families are all based on tulips, or are modified with shields, swords, scepters, or slight modifications to the flower shapes, but they all maintain a unified style overall.

According to gossip, regardless of the prosperity or decline of the fourteen families, even if only one family member remains, they will unconditionally pledge allegiance to the royal family and always uphold their knightly mission.

The Landau family is one of the Tulip families, and one of the few Tulip families that is active in the public eye. They have mediocre achievements. They opened a small bank in Lund, and joined forces with several other banks to form the Lund Bill Exchange, monopolizing the bill exchange business and thus controlling all small and medium-sized banks in Lund.

In addition to banks, the Landau family also invested in real estate, military industry, people's livelihood and other businesses, and conducted some small trade with foreign friendly businesses.

The head of the family, Auston Landau, had been re-elected as the mayor of the financial city of London. He privately owned several newspapers and radio stations, had strong industrial assets, and was particularly interested in social assistance. He had a dominant position in the entire Kingdom of Windsor.

So, what does Master Wayne mean, Mr. Landau has a bastard? x2
The two detectives came up with a ridiculous idea at the same time, suspecting that they had discovered the big secret of the Landau family. Wesley believed it directly because he had seen Auston Landau in person at a cocktail party, where he was surrounded by beauties and visited various socialites.

This is not the point. The point is that Auston Landau and Wayne have the same hair color and pupils, which is enough to prove that the two are related by blood.

The detectives were good at analysis and reasoning, and each of them had a very creative imagination. Wesley and Hood looked at each other and began to back off.

Master Wayne is rich, extremely rich. He can inherit unimaginable wealth by just lying down and doing nothing. Inviting such a person to participate in a highly dangerous detective investigation has very little chance of success.

Rich people value their lives.

"You two don't have to be restrained. This is not my home. I am a guest here just like you."

Wayne asked, "Is it about yesterday's closed room murder case? Is there something wrong with my reasoning?"

This is the way it is for illegitimate children. They cannot directly reveal their identities. Wesley nodded and replied, "It was indeed yesterday's murder, but Mr. Wayne's reasoning is correct. You are a very good detective. Your grasp of details makes Hood and I ashamed. We came to visit today for another matter." "Please go ahead."

"Mr. Wayne, have you ever heard of Geocentricism?"

I have never heard of geocentrism, but I do know about the geocentric theory. There was a little friction between Copernicus and the Pope over this.

Wayne pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said bluntly: "This is the first time I heard of Geocentricism. Is it a conservative sect in Windsor?"

"It is a sect that has only recently begun to spread. They not only claim that the earth is the center of the universe, but also believe that there is a giant continent inside the earth and that human civilization originated in the inner world..."

"There is a passage between the surface and the center of the earth. The North and South Poles are the largest entrances to the inner world of the earth. There are a large number of extinct prehistoric creatures in it..."

Wesley talked about some things about Geocentric Religion, and finally said, "According to my investigation, Geocentric Religion first developed in the town of Enroard, attracting a large number of believers. It has now taken shape and even affected Lundan."

Hood nodded and continued, "Professor Vincent, who died in the hotel yesterday, was invited by the Geocentric Church. He was a famous geology professor. The Geocentric Church found a passage to the center of the earth in Enroard Town and wanted Professor Vincent to investigate and publish an academic article to attract more believers to join the church."

"The professor is dead. He was poisoned by his own student. According to the criminal, this was a murder of passion."

A murder of passion?
What do you mean, the professor and the student are gay, the professor slept with the student's girlfriend, or the student slept with the professor's wife?
Can you elaborate? My friend wants to eat melon.

Wayne was confused and asked in confusion, "You two, you have said so much, but you haven't told me why you came to see me. Can you give me a straight answer?"

"Our investigation into the Geocentric Cult has reached a deadlock and we would like to ask Mr. Wayne for help. Your ability is far superior to ours," Wesley said dryly.

This was originally the plan, but when I learned that Wayne was the illegitimate son of the Landau family, I gave up this unrealistic idea.

As expected, Wayne shook his head and rejected their request, saying politely: "I am very honored to be recognized by two colleagues, but I have more important things to deal with. I am sorry that I can't help you."

Wesley and Hood were not disappointed either. They had expected this result. They complimented each other for a few words and stood up to say goodbye to Wayne.

"By the way, if Mr. Wayne encounters followers of the Geocentric Church, please do not believe their sweet words..."

Wesley looked around and whispered, "The one who commissioned me to investigate the Geocentric Church was not an ordinary person. He was from an official intelligence agency of Lundan. I can't reveal the details. You just need to know that the Geocentric Church is not a formal sect."

Wayne nodded. He didn't believe in the goddesses of the orthodox sects, let alone a cult whose setting was full of contradictions. Before bidding farewell to the two, he asked casually, "Mr. Wesley, do you know which god the Geocentric Church believes in? The Geocentric God?"

"On the contrary, the gods worshipped by Geocentricism do not come from underground, but from above..."

Wesley shrugged. "The god that Geocentrics believe in comes from the universe and is called the Lord of the Void."

"Lord of the Void..."

Wayne murmured the name. The dark man did not explain. He always felt that the God's Chosen Continent was strange and filled with an indescribable smell.

Knowledge that drives people crazy. After entering the door of truth, they gradually lose their sanity until they lose their lives. The more they think about it, the more bizarre it becomes.

If this universe is really as indescribable as he imagined, the Lord of the Void, the cosmic god believed in by the Geocentric Cult, might really be a super boss of the cosmic level.

A refreshing God who gives you knowledge if you offer sacrifices!
If one wants to attract the attention of a super boss and gain powerful strength from him, the difficulty and scale of the sacrifice can be imagined.

Wayne probably understood why the Geocentric Church was so eager to recruit believers: it lacked sacrifices.

Before Hood and Wesley left, he asked his butler Fla to give each of them a business card, saying that he was willing to offer a little help if they encountered anything strange.

He might not be able to stop it, but his teacher Heaphy could.

"Earth-centered Religion..."

"Lord of the Void..."

Wayne returned to the garden pavilion and wished the two detectives, no, the two investigators all the best, and hoped that they would return safely and be promoted to the ranks of legendary investigators.

It would be best if we could bring back a forbidden item like the Book of the Dead.

Wayne knew he didn't have the courage to read it. He was living a good life and didn't intend to become a moron at such a young age. But if a banned book really came into the world, it would give him a more intuitive understanding of the current world.

Wayne lay in the garden, swallowed a pill to refresh himself, held his breath and began to meditate.

The earth element was constantly strengthening his bones, muscles, and internal organs, and he could feel himself getting stronger. Strength was intoxicating, and the process of gaining strength was even more exciting. He couldn't stop and just wanted to keep going like this.

On March 3, Wayne captured five thousand elemental light spots, but still had not figured out the essence of his own life.

"I'm afraid three months won't work. My meditation is not very effective. My teacher is so comforting. She sees the problem but doesn't say it. She's quite nice!"
