Restarting the myth.

Chapter 90 The world has finally changed

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

In the bedroom on the third floor, Wayne looked at Healy in silence. The latter was checking the sheets and pillows with a magnifying glass, seriously, as if he could really find something.

Veronica did not come home last night, and it was obvious what Xifei was looking for.

Long blond hair, or blond curly hair.

Of course, it could also be just long blond hair.

Wayne said the other party was overthinking it. Not to mention that nothing happened last night, even if something happened, the butler would have cleaned up the crime scene long ago.

After a moment, Xifei put away the magnifying glass with a look of disappointment and cast a sympathetic look at Wayne.

And shook his head.

At your age, you have no worldly desires. Don't be embarrassed. If it doesn't work, just go to the hospital. It doesn't cost much.

Wayne rolled his eyes and pushed Healy out of the bedroom.

Whether you are speaking from the perspective of a mother or a teacher, you are the elder, can you be more reliable?

The two came to the living room, and the butler Fla handed over the tea. He seemed to have made a decision and used the title of "Madam" to address Xifei.

Xifei did not notice the change in address. After all, in this family, Wayne was the only master, and calling her Madam would inevitably create ambiguity in identity.

Wayne understood and was very happy. He looked at Fla eagerly.

"Wayne, how does your new home feel?"

"Great, I studied the drawings last night and gained a lot, and learned a lot of new knowledge." Wayne knew what Siffy was talking about and replied truthfully.

"Do we need more manpower? This house is very big and we need to take care of everything. I'm afraid four maids won't be able to handle it."

"No, I don't really like crowds."

Wayne shook his head. He liked this home very much. The housekeeper and the maid were very familiar to him. He would feel uncomfortable if there were a few unfamiliar faces.

Heaphy didn't say much on the topic. He just asked the students how their meditation was going and whether they had been harassed by Schrödinger's phone calls recently.

"The essence of life has been filled, but it will take some time before the hexagram is lit. I am working hard."

Wayne had a worried look on his face. It was indeed fun to use cheats, but if he used them too much, the side effects would be very obvious. Every time he upgraded, he had to consume more of the four elements than other magicians.

There is also a magic circle that gathers the four elements in Sidney's basement, and at night, the forest defense can block the fog. All conditions are conducive to meditation.

But again, it's not that easy to satisfy the appetite of the Book of Greed.

Wayne has tasted the sweetness of being a transport captain. It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and the slow progress cannot make him happy.

He was very puzzled. Dean Planck looked like an old stubborn man and didn't know how to give up. Why hadn't he come to him after so long?
Could it be that the old man saw through him and knew that he would raise the price and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, so he has been waiting for him to give in?

Alas, there is no manner of being honest with others. The world has changed after all.

The bad guys are getting older!

"Don't be anxious and don't put too much pressure on yourself. The fact that you can fill up the essence of life in such a short time shows that you have worked very hard. All you have to do next is to keep up the good work." Siffy took out an application form and instructed Wayne to fill it out line by line.

Once his application for membership in the Church of Nature is approved, Wayne will stand out from the crowd of believers and officially become a disciple of the Goddess of Nature.

Wayne filled out the form as the teacher asked, and filled in "detective" in the volunteer column. He had no intention of joining the London headquarters as a civil servant.

Xifei did not force it. With Wayne's talent and pure magic, there was no need to waste time as a civil servant. His future achievements would only be higher.

such as……

Son!

Xifei failed to become a saint back then. Although she didn't say it, she still felt a little regretful in her heart.

Fortunately, the goddess treated her well. Before the new round of saint assessment began, she bestowed a student with outstanding talents.

She is now the high priest of the district and can recommend candidates on behalf of Windsor. Considering Wayne's talent, he will definitely be able to kill as long as he signs up.

"Hehehe..." x2
Xifei covered her mouth and laughed, and found that it was two sounds. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Wayne: "What are you laughing at?"

"I don't know, but teacher, you are smiling, and as a student I can't help but smile." Wayne shrugged, playing the role of a well-behaved person.

Xifei nodded repeatedly. This child is so likable, a thousand times better than that guy.

Speaking of that person, Xi Fei suddenly thought of something. She stood up and lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her slender calves covered with black stockings: "How about if I wear a short skirt to go shopping, what will the effect be?"

There must be countless people who want to be tough!
Wayne gave a silent answer in his mind, and then looked away after a few glances. Nice legs, and they matched the stockings very well, but this was not something he could look at. Some people said they were going shopping, but they were probably going home to stroll around the living room.

"Why don't you speak? Doesn't it look bad?" Xifei frowned.

“It was so beautiful that the students forgot to speak.”

"Little mouth is so sweet."

Xifei let down the hem of her skirt and vividly described what happened in the church today. She inadvertently raised her leg, which made Flora stare at her in amazement.

The latter was in a trance and wanted to ask several times, but in the end he didn't have the courage to speak and left the office in frustration.

Kill blast!
Wayne didn't know who Flora was and wasn't prepared to pay attention. He only knew that she was an airborne priest. From the teacher's few words, he could smell the scent of high molecular polymers between good sisters.

He could imagine the scene at that time, and Xifei must be the one with the tea flavor.

Snapped!
Healy took out four sealed packages of stockings from her briefcase and asked Wayne if he wanted to make any changes to the packaging. The latter was the designer of the stockings and his opinion was very important.

Wayne took a look at it. The packaging was simple, very much in line with the style of this era. After opening it, he held up the stockings with his five fingers and rubbed them with his fingertips to feel the texture.

Due to the limitations of industrial standards, there is an indelible seam on the finished stockings, and after wearing them it is like a black vertical line drawn on the legs.

"How about it, is there anything you want to say?" Xifei looked at Wayne with bated breath. In order to show the wearing effect more intuitively, she lifted her skirt up again.

Please let Veronica be the model next time, thank you!

Wayne didn't look at Sphy, frowned and said, "What's the estimated selling price?"

"20 levies a pair."

“How many pairs are in stock?”

"Twenty thousand."

"Change it to 50 Constitutional Levies, stock up 200 pairs, and spend half a month on promotion. This is the first batch, and the second batch will increase to Constitutional Levies..." Wayne spoke quickly about the marketing methods.

Promotion is very simple. Just find some long-legged models wearing stockings. Public places, especially upper-class social gatherings, are excellent places for promotion.

Xifei hesitated and said, "The first batch of the new market is 50. Isn't the reserve too large? And isn't the price of constitutional orders too high?"

"Not high. In my opinion, the first batch priced at 50 Xianling is basically charity. I feel bad for giving away pairs of stockings for free!"

Wayne shook his head, his hands felt light as if he was missing a cigar, and said, "Never mind. After all, this is a new market, and initial investment is inevitable. I'll make a loss on the first batch, so I'll just use it as publicity."

Xifei was very surprised at Wayne's confidence. She couldn't help but believe her husband's words a little bit. He took it for granted. Wasn't he afraid of falling?

Wayne smiled slightly: "From a lady's perspective, you and the Flora priest have proved that stockings have a promising future. From a man's perspective, remember to pay attention to Mr. Austin's eyes when you go home tonight. He will use practical actions to tell you why your students are so confident."

Wayne was full of confidence. He had heard many legends about stockings, and there was no shortage of market for them. During the war, nylon was classified as a strategic material, so stockings were limited in quantity. Countless women would do anything to get a pair of stockings.

On the black market, a pair of stockings was sold at a sky-high price.

Wayne was not very clear about the specific price, but he was very sure that the first batch of stockings were sold out when they were on the market, and the price kept rising afterwards, and they were still selling well.

Many ladies draw a black line on their legs to pretend they have stockings.

Only 20 constitutional orders, and only pairs in stock, who are you looking down on?
Even if the ladies agreed, Wayne would be the first to disagree.

Increase the price, you must increase the price!
Xifei believed most of it but not all of it. She was thinking about going back tonight to give some benefits to the bastard and see what the other party looked at her like.

You can't eat people, right?

"By the way, how are you doing with the basic magic course? Do you want me to review it for you?"

"No need. Veronica introduced me to a personal trainer." Wayne said this without delving into the topic further.

When she heard that it was the teacher her daughter found, Xifei was relieved immediately. She didn't think much about it. She was very curious about the performance of the gangster and prepared to go home immediately to change into a short skirt.

"Teacher, do you know Dragon Heart Island?"

"I know. Why are you asking?"

"My detective agency received a commission from the White Glove Association to go to Dragon Heart Island to investigate a suicide case of a wealthy man." Wayne had just arrived and was assessing the risks, so he took everything as a precaution.

"Then go for a visit. Staying in one place all day will only limit your horizons. Young people should walk around more often."

Xifei flashed to Wayne's side, raised her hand to hook the student's shoulder, and said for him: "However, when you go on a long journey alone, you will inevitably miss home in the dead of night. That feeling is very uncomfortable. Do you want me to recommend a lady to you so that you can travel together and have someone to look after you?"

The lady you are talking about, could it be your daughter?

"No need, teacher. You know me well. Apart from magic and investigating crimes, I can't tolerate anything else."

Wayne slapped the arm off his shoulder and refused righteously. If he were in his daughter's shoes, if he were traveling with a pervert, he would definitely ambush people on the cruise ship and create a case where a cement barrel accidentally fell into the sea.

Xifei had no choice but to give up.

……

That night, Willy came as promised. The gym was very close to Wayne's house, and she still planned to stay overnight.

She even brought a few sets of clothes to change and some daily necessities for girls. Her two suitcases were filled to the brim. She didn't feel awkward at all and treated this place as her own home.

Wayne didn't know how to comment on this free gift. He felt that with a little effort, he could get the unsuspecting Willie drunk and get what he wanted at any time.

It’s a pity that I can’t taste it!
The magical girl trusts him so much, but he is thinking about getting her drunk. This is too weird.

In order to witness friendship and to respect Willy's trust, Wayne decided to be defenseless and not be outdone by the other party.

Afterwards, Chris arrived as promised. She had research courses at school during the day and could only tutor Wayne in the basics of magic at night. In order to make it convenient to travel back and forth, she also brought two suitcases.

Some simple daily necessities, and the rest are all teaching materials she wrote.

If it is too late, stay overnight and return to school the next day.

What a good girl, well-educated, gentle, generous, and especially honest. Wayne looked at the box full of teaching materials and even thought of the child's name at that moment.

Butler Fla lowered his head and left, his single eye flashing with an ambiguous light. He felt it necessary to clear out a room as a nursery.

It's better to be prepared, it will come in handy sooner or later anyway.

Just before dinner, Veronica came to Wayne's house with a gloomy face.

Domestic violence!
I don't know what happened, but my father was beaten again. He broke out of the window with a bang and fell on the garden lawn.

When asked, he didn't say anything, covering his face and hesitating...

Seems quite happy!

Veronica no longer understood this family.

She hated her parents' discord and her mother's abuse of violence. If there was any conflict, they could sit down and talk it out. Why would they start hitting people over a disagreement?

In comparison, Wayne's house is not so stressful, and surrounded by green forests, it is very peaceful...

Veronica: ()
"Your house is so lively!"

"It's okay, we're all friends, how about you move in and stay for a few days?"

"Dream on. I won't move here."

Veronica groaned. When she learned that Willy had already decorated her room and Chris was ready to stay overnight for a while, she sat down at the dining table angrily.

"I will be going on a long trip in a while. I have asked the housekeeper to make keys for you. You can come over at any time. Don't consider yourself an outsider." Wayne said what was in his heart. He did not consider the three of them as outsiders.

After dinner, Wayne invited Teacher Chris to his study. As a studious student, he had been eager for one-on-one tutoring for a long time.

Wayne is very self-aware. He thinks that with his IQ, it will take at least three to five years of teaching by his senior sister before he can barely graduate.

After three to five years, it is time for senior students to teach their children to read.

Wonderful!

Silky smooth, just perfect.

Wayne was feeling happy, but just after he took two steps, the dragon-blood girl grabbed the back of his collar. He braked suddenly and was almost strangled to death.

"Where are you going on your journey?"

"Handling a commission on Dragon Heart Island in the North Sea." Wayne touched his neck, feeling that the girl was becoming more and more violent towards him. When they first met, she felt that it was unnecessary to even look at him and was unwilling to shake hands with him.

"What about the diary?"

"I have written a few chapters today, and I will write a few more tomorrow. The diary is in the bedroom, remember not to read it while lying in bed."

Wayne waved his hand and reminded Willy not to make any noise or run around in the corridor, as studying requires a quiet environment.

After saying that, he closed the study door and locked it from the inside.

Click!

Veronica and Willy stared at the closed door, their eyes wide open, their two golden heads put together, and listened against the door for a while.

After a while, the two left whispering something. No one knew what they were talking about.

----

On August 8, the black car stopped at the port of Lund.

Wayne got out of the car, took the suitcase handed to him by Fla, waved goodbye to her, and boarded the Polaris with his ticket.

In an open-air cafe not far away, actress Lily Hayworth put on sunglasses, lit the photo in her hand and put it in the ashtray.

"Wayne..."
