"Auston, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Please say it again, what ambassador?" Wayne picked his ears, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
Maybe Veronica's punching power has improved again, and she caused internal injuries to him last night.
"The image is great..."
“Puff!”
Wayne laughed out loud when Auston was halfway through his words, pointing at himself and saying proudly, "The shape is there, but the image is too outrageous. Can we not find anyone in Windsor, or will a person be enough?"
Megan nodded. It was indeed outrageous.
Auston rolled his eyes: "I also think it's outrageous, but this is the minister's order. You saved the high priest of the Moonlight Church. Only you can save the image of the Ministry of Magic."
"That's true, but..."
Seeing that Auston didn't look like he was joking, Wayne couldn't help sweating on his forehead: "Doing everything possible to meet her demands, isn't it a bit too much? If she has unreasonable expectations, won't I have to sacrifice my life for my country?"
"If sacrificing your life for the country can satisfy her unreasonable wishes, your sacrifice is worth it. The minister will award you a knight's medal as the country's highest leader." Austin said with a sour face.
Very unhappy!
He sent a signal to the outside world that Wayne was the heir to the Landau family. The Queen must have heard the news and deliberately issued such an order, which clearly showed her dissatisfaction with the Landau family.
Auston knew why the Queen was dissatisfied. From a national perspective, the traitors in the Ministry of Magic were certainly guilty of heinous crimes and were the number one culprit in this incident. They must be caught and severely punished. Following closely behind was Wayne, who tore off the fig leaf and showed several churches the inhumanity of the Ministry of Magic.
No matter how inhumane the Ministry of Magic is, it is a family matter behind closed doors. If it were to be made public, it would be Wayne's fault.
Now the Moonlight Church is demanding an explanation from the Ministry of Magic, handing over the murderer and severely punishing him. Several other churches are fanning the flames. The Queen is overwhelmed and has to let Wayne, who has torn off his fig leaf, clean up the mess himself.
"We are still investigating who the traitor is. We won't be able to find out in a short time. The most urgent task is to make the Moonlight Church quiet down. Only when the Moonlight Church is satisfied will the other churches be satisfied." Austin said unhappily.
This was a statement that showed Windsor's attitude towards the church. He had no intention of causing dispute and it was all just an accident.
The stance is a little weak, but that's how politics works. Several churches are secretly gathering together to plan a big move, and Windsor must compromise, even if it's just acting, to make them feel respected.
"To put it bluntly, if you didn't save people, none of this would have happened, and you have to pay the price for what you did," said Auston.
"No way, I'm a good person, is it a crime to save people?" Wayne looked aggrieved.
"Don't play dumb. There have never been any good people in this world. Morality is the constraint of the upper class on the lower class. The upper class will never impose moral shackles on themselves. Interests are the most important." The truth is not complicated. Auston knows that Wayne knows.
Besides, it’s useless to play the victim in front of him. If you have the ability, go and talk to the Queen and see if she believes that there are good people in the world!
Wayne sighed, the world was rotten to the core. Fortunately, he had the foresight to embark on the road of social garbage early on, otherwise the tuition alone would have cost him everything.
"Any questions?"
“Yes.”
Thinking of the great beauty of the High Priestess Philomena, Wayne was worried for himself. "To be honest, I rescued the person for the suitcase. In order to cover up my impure motive, the process of rescuing the person was very great and left a deep impression on the High Priestess. I can feel that she has a good impression of me."
The best evidence was that he introduced himself as Jack and Philomena called him Isaac.
If they never meet again in the future, Philomena's good impression of Jack will always exist, and Jack is just a passing hero. At most, he will rob other thieves, which will not affect the good impression of his savior.
Perhaps Philomena would still fantasize about doing some repairs on his face in the dead of night.
But if they met in London, Jack, the golden wizard of the Father Church and a native of Luzerne, would become the image ambassador of the Windsor Ministry of Magic. Philomena would get slapped in the face twice, and her good impression of her would definitely be reduced to zero.
In this case, meet all the other party's requirements...
Wayne's scalp tingled. What a cruel queen! She wasn't arranging for him to die for his country at all; she was clearly asking him to die for his country!
Wayne explained his difficulties to Auston, and Auston's face became even more sour: "You feel wronged, but I feel wronged too. You are the heir of the Landau family. You are being ordered around by others, which is equivalent to me being ordered around by others..."
In the end, Auston was furious and blamed Wayne for meddling in other people's affairs.
After complaining for a while, Austin waved his hand and said, "The minister has made the decision, no one can change it, and you are indeed the most suitable candidate."
Wayne nodded. He was indeed the most suitable candidate and he was the only one who could be the image ambassador.
"The Ministry of Magic ambushed the Moonlight Church. Originally, it would have been smooth sailing and no one would have known about it. But you happened to save the high priest, putting the Ministry of Magic in a dilemma and allowing the Moonlight Church to gain leverage over the Ministry of Magic, allowing them to gain more benefits in Windsor..."
After Austin finished his analysis, he concluded, "You facing the high priest is enough to prove that Windsor's strategy has never changed. We have always treated all churches well. We did not shirk responsibility this time. There is indeed a traitor inside, that's all."
Wayne nodded as he listened. He understood the logic, but the same thing still applies: he had deceived that woman before, and now he was taking the initiative to go to her house and let her have her pleasure. There was a high probability that he would be played into her hands.
"You are so good at deceiving women, so what's the harm in deceiving her again!"
Auston laughed out loud, and felt something was wrong, so he warned, "Don't mess around, she's old enough to be your mother."
"It's not me who's messing around now, but the other side who's messing around."
Wayne complained about his inexplicable confidence. Auston was really bold to say that. She was an aunt, not a female college student. How could she be so easily fooled?
Auston couldn't stand to hear this and warned Wayne to be more restrained when cheating. If Veronica was wronged, he would never let it go.
"Yes, father-in-law."
(＝_＝)
"father in law?!"
"roll!"
…
Auston told Wayne to get out and he followed him out of the study.
Outside the door, Megan put away the soundproof barrier and followed the master and the young master, looking at the two dark-skinned guys with a look of contempt.
She heard it all!
The three of them got into a black limousine. Auston refused to sit in the same seat with Wayne and chose to sit in the back seat with Megan.
While removing the gauze, Wayne expressed his understanding that this was a multiple-choice question and if he were in his place, he would also sit with the butler, secretary, and lover.
Auston took off the bandage and placed it on the back seat. He didn't throw it away because he could use it when he returned.
He said to Wayne: "Although you are the image ambassador and have received the high priest of the Moonlight Church throughout the whole process, your status is not enough. On the day of the airport pick-up, the Ministry of Magic will send a deputy minister..."
Austin explained the airport pick-up process. The Queen is the Minister of Magic, but she is not directly involved in management. Under her authorization, there are three deputy ministers in the Ministry of Magic.
Because Orb was one of the five suspects who requested the Book of Moon Shadow, he was banned from participating in the welcoming ceremony. He is currently forming a self-inspection team and is very busy.
The Queen chose a confidant from the other two deputy ministers, Yvette Collins, a female legendary wizard from the Collins family of the Tulip family.
The Tulip Family is deeply involved in various fields of Windsor, including the field of magic. The Collins Family specializes in magic and is not well-known in the secular world, but has a very high reputation within the Tulip Family.
At the same time, there was some gossip. Everyone in the magic field wanted to join the game, and the Collins family took the lead in occupying the blue ocean. Others drank soup while watching the Collins family eat meat, smiling on their faces but cursing in their hearts.
The fourteen tulip families are not united!
"Why are you telling me all this? Do you want me to please Ms. Collins?"
Wayne raised his eyebrows, emphasizing the word "flatter", and suspected that Old Deng was not looking for an heir, but a socialite.
Many large families and conglomerates have similar private armed forces, which they use for their own purposes or to entertain distinguished guests. When the time is right, cooperation will follow.
Auston was too lazy to pay attention to Wayne. He explained Yvette Collins's identity and background so that Wayne could be more restrained and not lie or be lied to.
In a nutshell, keep a certain distance.
As he said this, Auston looked unhappy. He took Wayne to the Ministry of Magic, which was equivalent to making clear the latter's identity as heir.
Although this was originally planned, it’s really bad that it happened too early.
Acceptance ≠ full acceptance;
Recognition ≠ complete recognition.
According to Auston's idea, he would have to kill Wayne for at least a year, and then officially announce the identity of the heir when the time was right.
Because of the Queen's order, the plan fell through.
…
Windsor, London, Ministry of Magic.
The headquarters building of the Ministry of Magic is located in the west end of Windsor, very close to Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives. As the most mysterious department in Windsor, a sign of 'Forestry Resources Planning Bureau' is hung on the door.
It is a sinecure department that looks useful but is of little use, and its staff are all old, so it has always been regarded by the outside world as a political retirement home.
The Ministry of Magic headquarters covers a huge area and has a classical architectural style. It has several large office buildings as well as a museum, theater, and high-end restaurant. It does not look like a government office building, but more like a large manor or a paid park scenic area.
In addition to its headquarters, the Ministry of Magic also has several branches in London, using hospitals, zoos, and concert halls as cover.
If you must say, Planck is a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, and the Red Leaf Forest Asylum can be considered a branch of the Ministry of Magic.
The black limousine stopped at the iron gate and two guards checked her. Megan handed over her ID, and the guards confirmed the visitor list for today and opened the door to let her in.
The car drove in the park for five minutes and stopped in front of a four-story office building.
The whole building is white, with many columns on the exterior, a magnificent shape, and a standard classical architectural style.
This building is the office of Deputy Minister Yvette. Megan waited there while Wayne followed Austin in and met the female deputy minister.
She is in her fifties, with elegant makeup and excellent temperament.
It is undoubtedly wrong to judge a magician, especially a legendary magician's age, by his appearance, but the other party said this because she hopes that others will respect her with the etiquette of respecting elders.
Auston was very respectful and lifted the elder's hand and kissed it gently: "Yvette, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Your charm is still so amazing."
Yvette smiled slightly: "Auston, I heard that you've been in trouble recently. How are you? Do you need my help to say a few words?"
"Thank you for your kindness. I can handle this matter myself. It's not that troublesome."
The two chatted for a while and the topic turned to Wayne.
Auston patted Wayne on the shoulder and introduced him, "He is Wayne, a descendant of the family. He is stupid and has a bad mouth. Please forgive me if I have offended you."
Wayne smiled innocently at the right moment and bowed to the lady.
Yvette laughed so hard that she fell backwards. After a moment, she said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure, Auston. Is he really not your illegitimate child?"
"Many people think so. It's just a coincidence."
"That's a pity. After all, you two are so similar. I remember when we first met, your smile was as innocent as his." At this point, Yvette laughed again.
The implication is self-evident.
Austin smiled and shook his head, mentioned the matters of receiving the Moonlight Church delegation, and asked Yvette what specific arrangements there were. On his side, Wayne would fully cooperate and ensure that everything went smoothly.
"Just your words are enough. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for him."
Yvette and Austin were just colleagues, not that close, but definitely not annoying. In the Tulip family, the cooperation between the two families had never been in-depth, and they always maintained a tacit understanding of being close yet distant.
One is rich, the other is powerful. If these two families get too close, the Queen will be very unhappy.
Wayne remained silent throughout the whole process. He was a very self-aware person. In this situation, it would be useless for him to say anything. Being humble and obedient was the best choice.
Humility costs no money and is the cheapest way to gain others' favor.
Especially in front of elders!
Elders attach great importance to first impressions. If the first impression is good, it is harmless to make mistakes in the future. If the first impression is bad...
Youth is limited, so don’t waste time proving anything. Find an elder to invest in instead.
Yvette explained the reception arrangements to Austin, and she took out the charter and made arrangements in accordance with the Queen's orders.
On the first day, she will personally receive Philomena, the high priestess of the Moonlight Church, to show the Ministry of Magic's importance. The reception will take place at the Ministry of Magic headquarters, which is this office building.
After that, she would not show up unless it was necessary, and Wayne would act as an ambassador to take care of Philomena's food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Accommodation can be waived. Considering the unpleasantness in Luzerneburg, Philomena will not stay in the hotel arranged by the Ministry of Magic. All other expenses will be borne by Wayne.
Just by looking at this arrangement, you can tell that Deputy Minister Yvette acts low-key. Although she has received orders from the Queen, the water is too deep. Before the identity of the traitor is confirmed, she will not take on the responsibility and be the first to stand out.
Ministry of Magic: Wayne, you like to be the first to take the lead. The organization has decided that you should be the first to take the lead!
Austin was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that the other party had given him a lot of face, so he took out a white paper from his arms and handed it over.
There is no text on the cover; it is a copy of the Book of Moon Shadow.
Yvette took it with a smile, and looked at Wayne with a much kinder look: "Auston, you can rest assured, this is Lundan, no one can hurt your illegitimate child."
Austin remained silent. Whatever the case, it was an illegitimate child. There was no way to clear it up anyway.
"There is also a vote for the Tulip family's heir. I will vote for Wayne."
Yvette smiled and said to Wayne, "The key lies in him. If his performance this time satisfies the Queen, even if the voting fails, no one can object to the Queen's choice."
Auston thanked him, patted Wayne on the shoulder, and let the honest heir take the schedule.
The two left the office building, and Wayne sat in the co-pilot seat. He asked curiously, "The heir of the Tulip Family needs an internal vote and the royal family's approval. Is it so troublesome?"
"Otherwise, if we let the family make their own choice, the Tulip Family would have been out of control long ago." Austin said as a matter of course.
That's right.
Wayne nodded and let his family make its own arrangements. The Tulip family had long been bullying the royal family.
What queen? She has already gone into the sea to make a living!
Wayne looked at the schedule, a thick stack. Except for the first day which was free, he had to serve Philomena throughout the rest of the time. He served Philomena the same way the eunuchs served the empress.
I couldn't help but complain: "Why should I take the blame for the Ministry of Magic?"
"What do you think?"
“…”
That's right.
Wayne continued to look through the schedule and found a problem at the end: "Auston, there is a problem with this guide's self-cultivation. It only says when the work starts, but not when it ends. Did Ms. Collins forget it?"
"What do you think?"
“…”
He felt that it was not that he forgot, but that he could not give an accurate end time. Before the Ministry of Magic found out the traitor, he, as the image ambassador, had a heavy responsibility and had to serve the high priest of the Moonlight Church comfortably.
At least you have to shut the other person up.
"It's over. I really have to sacrifice my life for my country now..."
