He inexplicably became a reincarnated angel, with irrefutable evidence, and Wayne almost believed it himself.
He knew he wasn't, so...
Just pretend nothing happened.
Eat when you should eat and sleep when you should sleep. Start every day with full spirit and invest your limited time into unlimited learning.
When Wayne first entered Silver Cross, he was blank in every aspect, which was the stage when his learning efficiency was the highest.
At this time, he was like SpongeBob, in desperate need of nutrients. He could eat anything given to him and had a great passion for learning.
Knowledge is power!
Wayne was hungry for knowledge.
The learning process for others is very boring, but for Wayne it is very happy. He has Veronica as his sparring partner when learning close combat skills, Valkyrie and Willy as his sparring partner when learning knight swordsmanship, and Chris as his one-on-one tutor when learning theoretical knowledge.
You can study and improve your intimacy at the same time, which doubles your happiness.
Even in the most time-consuming meditation, there are four rings that continuously transport fellow villagers. The progress is visible to the naked eye. With a settlement every day, the morale is always high.
During this period, he went to Jianhe County, checked in, and then went to Silent Hill to open the Sealed Book and inhale a lot of it.
The Sealed Book provided by the devil does have its merits. It is two or three floors higher than the treasures collected in St. Paul's Cathedral. After Wayne opened the Sealed Book, he could only plunder the four elements and could not obtain the power of storm and thunder.
In order to obtain these two divine powers, the obelisk slab must be completely released to reveal its true appearance.
This process is too risky, so Wayne will not consider it for the time being. He will put aside the divine power for the time being. The most urgent task is to find a place for his fellow villagers to stay.
There is more than one slate, and God knows whether the other holders will kidnap their fellow villagers. There are only so many people, and if they are all kidnapped by them, then Wayne will have no one to kidnap.
Therefore, relocating fellow villagers is the top priority.
For the above reasons, Wayne called Dean Plank and took the ancient silver coin back from him.
Move the four rings to the side first. They are his private property, sacred and inviolable, and there is no need to worry about them being plundered by others.
The gray space connected to the ancient silver coins is different. Wayne has seen the same silver coins in Austin's hands. By analogy, there are other people in the Free Mage Alliance who hold ancient silver coins.
The cake is so small. If he doesn't take it, someone else will. If he doesn't take it now, he won't be able to take it in the future.
Wayne felt an indescribable pain in his heart when he thought about his wealth being divided up by outsiders.
This is his ancient silver coin, which he only lent out for temporary safekeeping. The Free Mage Alliance really treats it as its own property and does not count at all.
When Planck returned the ancient silver coin, he happily asked a few questions. He was not surprised at Wayne's rapid progress. As one of the original ancestors with native blood, it was natural for him to make rapid progress.
He was curious about what Wayne had chosen to believe and was happy to help.
Planck seemed to have understood Wayne thoroughly, and was certain that he would have more choices of "Gods", and would not limit himself to the three goddesses of the Life Alliance.
Everyone is greedy, especially magicians.
Planck personally gave Wayne a dark ring. I believe that once Wayne tasted the sweetness, he would be unstoppable. God's choice must include the Dark Goddess.
It doesn't matter if you don't have the knowledge, he will provide it and ensure that Wayne can successfully pass the silver stage.
Waiting for the golden stage...
Hehe, the Red Leaf Forest Insane Asylum is still lacking an attending physician!
There is no love without reason in the world. The old man is so generous, he must have his calculations. Wayne couldn't guess it for a moment and didn't give a direct answer. He just said that he needed to consider the dark belief again.
After being promoted to Silver, Wayne's mind became stronger, and as he evolved, the appetite of the Book of Greed became bigger and bigger.
The eyeballs in the four corners of the cover are like bottomless pits that are insatiable. When meditating, more tentacles are extended, the plundering speed is faster, and there is an extremely strong desire for the four elements.
Good thing!
Wayne no longer regards "greed" as a derogatory word. It is called ambition, which is the same as his principle of knowing when to stop falling in love. Both are positive words.
It is precisely because of the greed of the Book of Greed that his purchasing efficiency is guaranteed. The essence of life increases by 3% every day, and the efficiency is far beyond the previous hexagram stage.
It seems fast, but it is not. This 3% of life essence is only for natural beliefs. Once it is expanded to the five goddesses, the increase will not be obvious.
"Take your time. At least we are not short of resources now."
Wayne immersed himself in the happy learning atmosphere and rarely went to the detective agency.
Since Wayne didn't go to the detective agency, Mona would come to his house every day at dinner time, trying to make Wayne get used to her presence and integrate into the family quietly.
According to her, it is only natural for the master to provide meals!
Smart women are different. I don’t know what magic she used, but she quickly dispelled Willy’s hostility. She called her sister all the time. If you didn’t know them, you would really think they had been good sisters for many years.
Considering that Willy always gives things away for free, dealing with her is not really an achievement.
For example, Chris has always been polite to Mona and never calls her by her name. She either calls her Ms. Mona or Detective Mona. You might say she is unkind, but she still greets people with a smile.
Chris: The skirts of women outside are getting shorter and shorter. Veronica is reckless and Willy is unwise. If I don't take action, they will suffer heavy losses when Wayne is defeated and captured.
Veronica is very hostile to Mona, and when they first meet, she immediately labels her a 'bad woman'.
The last time I saw such a coquettish woman was in Mr. Landau’s office.
Wayne was watching the show on the side, feeling very nice. He called Mona a "catfish" and brought some new life to the situation.
roll!
Let’s roll together. If we don’t roll together, there will be no future!
…
Time finally came to October 14th.
Today is the day that Auston invites Wayne to attend a business party, which starts at three o'clock in the afternoon and ends at eight o'clock in the evening. The venue is the business exhibition hall in central London.
At noon, Fla began to busy herself around, carefully dressing up Wayne and reiterating social etiquette.
The idea is simple, to let Auston know that the new master he chose is no worse than the original one!
Wayne was extremely patient with Fla. Even when he was extremely annoyed by what she said, he still kept smiling and let her do whatever she wanted.
"Master, are you sure you don't want to bring a female companion?"
Fla frowned and said, "The three women you know can all attend as your companions. If you are embarrassed to ask for help and are afraid of being rejected, Miss Mona will definitely not refuse."
As expected of a professional butler, he has an excellent eye for judging people and he could tell at a glance that Mona obeyed Wayne's orders.
This relationship is not that of lovers, friends, or boss and employee. The hierarchy is far beyond the ordinary master and housekeeper and servant, so...
Fla saw through it but didn't say anything. After all, Wayne was a young man, and it was normal and understandable for him to have physical needs.
"No need for a female companion, I can go there by myself."
Wayne looked at his watch. After listening to Fla's nagging for more than two hours, it was time to set off.
"By the way, Fla, remember to wait for me in the parking lot. I won't be at the party for long."
Wayne was not interested in the so-called business party, and he suspected that Austin was setting it up, so he had no intention of attending the party. However, he had to give face to his teacher, so after much thought, he decided to go there for dinner to supplement the family income.
Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, saving money is making money.
Sir, your idea is too naive!
Fla smiled but said nothing. He probably guessed something and knew that Wayne would not be home until very late today.
…
Central London, financial city.
Business exhibition hall.
The exhibition hall is located on the most prosperous street, with banks and stock exchanges everywhere, and all the people who come and go are upper-class elites.
These elites have their own network of relationships and have gone beyond the concept of ordinary leeks. They are the sickles in the hands of the powerful for cutting leeks. They are only waiting for an opportunity to join the dragon camp and find their own sickle.
Today's business meeting is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Socialites have also set their sights on this business opportunity. Whether they are investing in the now unknown social elites or moving among the powerful and wealthy, even just showing off their faces can increase their own commercial value.
The elites and the powerful do not lose, the socialites make a lot of money, and everyone is a winner.
Fla felt that the master looked too lonely without a female companion, so she wanted to contact a socialite to be his companion.
"You have this method, why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Wayne got out of the black limousine, waved the invitation in his hand, and said with a smile: "Fla, those women are too high for me. You don't want the mistress of the Wayne family to settle down casually, right?"
"Master, you misunderstood. They are ladies from wealthy families. They are educated, well-educated, have extraordinary temperament, and contribute to society. They are not just any women," Fla corrected.
Wayne then realized that, yes, these days, socialites and goddesses are full of gold and have not fallen into the sewer.
"Master, I need your help to contact..."
"Next time, definitely next time!"
Wayne decisively refused, handed over the invitation at the door, and walked into the exhibition hall in a black suit.
Although what the housekeeper said is right, when boys go out, especially good boys like him who are ignorant of the world and have no ulterior motives, they should prioritize protecting themselves.
He had experienced the charm and pitfalls of female stars and didn't want to fall into the same pit twice.
Besides, it’s not like he really needs a female companion, he just doesn’t want to bring one. If you don’t believe me, if he whistles now, Mona will come over immediately.
…
The exhibition hall is divided into four floors. The first floor is the service hall, the second floor is the product showroom, the third floor is the lecture hall and conference room, and the fourth floor is temporarily converted into a business banquet with a high-standard buffet.
Very formal!
There was no big swimming pool that Wayne had imagined, no beauties in swimsuits, and no singing or dancing. The upper class might be vulgar, but not all of them were brainless. Activities that were beneficial to physical and mental health would only be held at private gatherings.
Wayne took a look around the exhibition hall on the second floor and saw the stockings he designed in the civilian goods area. They were sincerely looking for partners, but only outside Windsor.
The Landau family has invested in a wide range of industries, from military industry to people's livelihood. Although there are many areas involved, the focus is still on the financial sector. They first make money from the poor and then invest in other industries.
Compared with the financial industry's abundant financial resources, other industries are obviously far behind. Austin has no interest in investing abroad. Once a hot-selling product appears, it will cooperate with overseas friendly companies through bidding.
Wayne walked around the venue and was most interested in the military exhibition hall.
They are all military models!
The exhibition hall on the second floor is very large, and Wayne met many socialites along the way. As Fla said, they may not be very good-looking, but their knowledge and cultivation are definitely impeccable, especially their temperament, which is very elegant.
There were also many social elites who took the initiative to talk to Wayne, repeatedly confirmed that he was just a nobody, handed him a business card and politely left.
Wayne looked at his watch. It was four o'clock. It was almost time to go to the buffet for dinner.
He climbed the stairs and went straight to the fourth floor. He didn't see any other guests except himself.
"Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy!"
Wayne picked up the plate and picked up a sausage and two slices of bread to make a homemade sandwich. Before he could open his mouth, he saw a familiar figure walking towards him.
Short blond hair, the lady's suit is meticulous.
Megan!
"Master Wayne, you are really here."
"What, have you been looking for me for a long time?"
Wayne looked at the sandwich on the plate and handed it over in a friendly manner: "Meghan, would you like some?"
Megan shook her head expressionlessly.
She was able to find Wayne in the first place because Auston used the process of elimination.
Wayne would not stay in the exhibition hall for too long, nor would he go to the lecture hall or conference room. In order to maintain his image as a womanizer, he would deliberately avoid the ladies present...
To sum up, you can find Wayne in the buffet, and you have to be quick. If you are late, Wayne will just walk away.
Meghan did not explain these words in person, and went straight to the point: “Master Austin is waiting for you in the conference room on the third floor, please follow me.”
"He's looking for me?"
Wayne's heart skipped a beat. As expected, after being quiet for a while, Old Deng started playing dirty tricks again.
"Yes."
"Excuse me, are the teacher and Mr. Austin together?"
"Before, Madam was negotiating business with an overseas company on behalf of the Master."
Megan replied truthfully: "There is only the master in the conference room, no messy women, please rest assured."
"Is this what he asked you to tell me?"
"Yes."
“…”
Wayne curled his lips. That's why he didn't like Auston. The old man was too good at judging him, just like a worm in his stomach.
Ask Fla to buy a bottle of anthelmintic when we get back!
…
Third floor.
Megan took Wayne through the conference room corridor.
Many social elites have already found financial sponsors. Both parties had pleasant negotiations and were preparing to go to the fourth floor to open a bottle of red wine to celebrate the cooperation.
Although these people did not know Wayne, they were familiar with Megan and knew that she was the housekeeper of the Landau family and Auston's secretary, assistant and lover.
For a moment, many people cast curious glances at Wayne, wondering about his identity and where this lucky guy came from.
Megan knocked on the '00' conference room, opened the door and invited Wayne in, while she stood guard at the door.
Wayne had a toothache, but he went in anyway.
In the conference room, Auston stood in front of the window, playing with the ancient silver coin that he never let go of, leaving Wayne with an exceptionally deep back view.
Wayne looked around and found that there were indeed no messy women. He also came to the window and stood side by side with Auston.
"..." x2
Ten minutes later, Auston slowly spoke: "To be honest, I don't like you. I didn't like you before, I don't like you now, and I don't think I will change in the future."
So am I!
Wayne nodded, admitting that what Auston said was true and that he was a straightforward person just like him.
This was the first time that Auston took the initiative to talk to him, which was of great significance. Wayne wanted to hear what the other party wanted to say.
"But you are Xifei's student..."
Auston looked out the window, glanced at Wayne, and continued: "Landau is from the Tulip family, a former member of the Tulip Knights, and has been loyal to the royal family for generations!"
"After the establishment of the constitutional monarchy, the royal family retreated behind the scenes and ruled without governing, delegating power to every citizen. The Tulip Knights were disbanded, and fourteen families were established under the order of the royal family..."
"These fourteen families received the start-up funds and invested in various fields in Windsor, including economy, politics, culture, military... or magic."
Austin briefly introduced the Tulip family, and then recounted the rise and fall of the Landau family, a lengthy history that lasted for half an hour.
So, why are you telling me this?
Wayne: (a`′a;)
Wayne's brows were tinged with sweat. It might be an illusion. Upon closer inspection, he felt that Old Deng was making arrangements for his funeral arrangements.
In the future, he will be the heir of the family, and when Lao Deng passes away, he will take care of his wife and children.
Outrageous!
Where is the teacher? Your husband is crazy!
