Restarting the myth

Landau Manor.

The black limousine stopped slowly.

"Master, I'm waiting for you in the study. Please come with me."

Wayne nodded and followed the housekeeper Megan with his suitcase. Not sure if it was an illusion, but he saw a bit of solemnity on Megan's expressionless face.

In the study, Auston stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, rarely playing with the ancient silver coins.

Wayne walked into the study with his suitcase, and Meghan closed the door, stood guard, and placed a soundproof barrier in three smooth movements, all in one go.

Auston turned around, looked at the suitcase in Wayne's hand, frowned and said nothing.

"Auston, what exactly is the big trouble I got into?" Wayne put the suitcase on the desk and showed the four treasures in the suitcase.

"Ministry of Magic."

Auston gave the answer directly, took two steps forward, and reported the names of the four treasures: "Book of Moon Shadow, Manuscript of the Forgotten, Ring of Fire Element, Dragon's Blood..."

He looked at Wayne with a strange expression, took out the ancient silver coin from his jacket pocket and played with it. After a while, he said, "It's actually in your hand. How did you do it?"

"What do you mean it's really in my hands? Don't you have exact information?" Wayne curled his lips. Damn it, Old Den actually tried to deceive him.

"The exact information I received came from the Moonlight Church. The high priest Philomena Ursula experienced everything that night. The Moonlight Church was very angry and demanded that the Ministry of Magic hand over the murderer immediately."

Auston said: "According to what the high priest said, it was extremely critical at that time. The Moonlight Church suffered heavy casualties from an ambush. Thanks to the action of a golden mage named Isaac, her life would not have been saved."

"Although Isaac is powerful, the Ministry of Magic ambushed too many people, and the suitcase was still snatched away."

"..."

Wayne scratched his head. What a mess. Otherwise, other people would be at the scene and would be confused just listening to this information.

Who is Isaac, is he?

If so, I can only say that aunt is so kind and loves people.

but……

Wayne's heart was pounding: he swallowed and said: "What does this have to do with the Ministry of Magic? Luzerburg is the territory of the Holy Father, and is not within the jurisdiction of our Windsor Ministry of Magic. The Moonlight Church should be suspicious of death, The Dark Church is the right one.”

"You don't know anything?"

Auston let out a sigh, seeing that Wayne really didn't know anything, and his expression became even weirder: "You dare to take advantage of others when you don't know anything. It seems that I have to re-evaluate your ignorance and courage."

"I admit my courage. I put my ignorance aside for the moment. Let me tell you what is going on?"

"The High Priest of the Moonlight Church encountered an ambush from the Ministry of Magic in Luzer City. The Ministry of Magic has the Forbidden Demon Realm, the Mirror Space Projection Barrier, and the Dragon Blood Transformation Body. After checking the inventory, some of them were indeed missing for no reason, and the quantity can be estimated. That’s right.”

Auston said: "The Moonlight Church is right. Our Ministry of Magic launched an ambush. In other words, you are killing one of your own people."

He glanced at the stunned Wayne, pointed to the suitcase and told the story.

"These are private transactions between the Moonlight Church and the Ministry of Magic. The Book of Moon Shadow is requested by a deputy minister. The Forgotten Manuscript is requested by Dean Plank. I asked for the dragon's blood by name, and another Tulip family asked for the fire. Elemental ring..."

"Originally, there was still the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast, but according to the high priest of the Moonlight Church, she used it to save her life and had already used it."

Having said this, Auston sighed and picked up the sealed bottle containing the dragon's blood. Although the process was somewhat tortuous, the dragon's blood was still in his hands.

Wayne opened his eyes wide, analyzed the information, combed through it in his mind, and came to the conclusion that the Ministry of Magic was committing murder and robbery.

"You know what trouble you got into, right?"

Auston chuckled and glanced at Wayne: "Originally, the Ministry of Magic's activities would not be exposed, but because of you, we are now in a very passive situation. The Minister was furious and all of us were scolded."

"Who is the Minister?"

Wayne heard clearly that Auston called the five members of the Ministry of Magic who secretly asked for bribes different names: the two Tulip families, Dean Plank, and the Deputy Minister.

It can be inferred from this that the legendary mage Plank is not the deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, but only a high-ranking official. The deputy minister is definitely stronger than Gangplank, and at least the legendary mage is half-step to the peak of perfection.

The deputy minister is so powerful, wouldn’t the minister want to go to heaven!

"The minister is Her Majesty the Queen."

"..."

That's right, all supreme commanders are queens, and there is nothing wrong with it being in line with the national conditions.

Wayne was full of questions and continued: "So, the Ministry of Magic has never relaxed its repressive policy against the Moonlight Church. It did not intend to let them expand in the first place. It gave them a bad check, deceived people into Luzerburg, and killed people." Seize the treasure and then frame the accusation on Heavenly Father and the Holy See? "

"No, Moonlight Church can expand. This is a confirmed fact. There is no deception. It is precisely because of this that I dare to ask for bribes with peace of mind."

Auston frowned and said, "But I don't know which senior official used the name of the Ministry of Magic to trick the Moonlight Church and trick the high priest into Luzerburg to ambush him. This matter is under investigation. He hid it very well, almost No clues were left.”

Wayne suddenly realized: "I understand, this is an official statement, shirking responsibility, and everything has nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic."

"This time it's not about shirking responsibility. Someone did do it."

Auston explained: "The Ministry of Magic has agreed to the expansion of the Moonlight Church. No matter what the purpose is, both families are in the honeymoon period. Each gets what they need. This is the most pleasant time for cooperation. The Ministry of Magic will not kill anyone. This pair Nothing good comes to us.”

Moreover, asking for bribes is not a shameful thing, and it is also a good thing for the Moonlight Church. Only if the top officials of the Ministry of Magic take it, the Moonlight Church will feel at ease.

It looks like asking for a bribe, but in fact it is a statement. This is called political art.

Wayne was dumbfounded: "You mean, there is a high-level executive who covets five treasures and wants them all, so he arranged everything and framed the crime on the Ministry of Magic?"

"From the current point of view, this is indeed the case, which is why the minister is so angry."

Auston glanced at Wayne: "The royal family's strategy towards the magic world has always been to win over one group and suppress another, and never have bad relations with one party. There is no war, only business. The impact of this direct killing is very bad, and the other churches Everyone is watching. If we don’t give a reasonable explanation... can you imagine the consequences? "

Wayne could roughly imagine that if pretentiousness escalates to violence, if Windsor dares to set a precedent, several churches will dare to follow suit, and there will be no peace in the future.

Thinking of this, Wayne couldn't help but ask again: "Is it really not the Ministry of Magic's intention, but that a certain high-level person has rebelled?"

"Rebellion is a good word. It's a good crime." Auston thought seriously.

Wayne has a black line and is on fire. You still have time to think about how to frame your political opponents!

"According to what the High Priest of the Moonlight Church said, the four trading items were taken away by the Ministry of Magic. Now that the items are in your hands, they can also be regarded as in my hands... It is difficult for me to do this!"

Auston sat on the sofa holding the ancient silver coin and said cheerfully: "It's such a headache. Why don't I hand you over? As the heir of the family, how about you sacrifice for the family?"

Wayne curled his lips and replied angrily: "Yes, yes, but please give me a month's grace. I, the heir of the family, have not yet passed on the family line. When Veronica is pregnant, I will die before it is too late."

Alston: (spoken)

Wayne: (benefit)

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Auston spoke first: "It is currently unknown who the traitor is. Our five high-level officials who asked for bribes are the most suspected. They have the motive and ability to mobilize so many resources privately."

"You saved the high priest of the Moonlight Church and escalated the situation. The minister is very dissatisfied, but at the same time, such unnecessary actions cleared my suspicion."

Auston asked curiously: "The high priest of the Moonlight Church used the flesh and blood of the starry sky beast, which shows that she has been forced into a desperate situation. You can defeat the enemy, help her get rid of the pollution of the starry sky beast, and even trick her into spinning around and actively help you." Cover...tell me, how did you do it?"

"I thought you knew everything." Wayne was small-minded and still remembered that Auston was trying to deceive him.

"I just looked at the result. You are still alive. It's that simple."

Auston answered simply. He believed in his choice. His heir would not simply survive, and he must have reaped the benefits.

"It's easier for me, because of love!"

Wayne said proudly: "I made that woman fall in love with me. Love makes people blind. She was willing to cover for me. Love makes people strong. She defeated the giant beast in the sky!"

Auston laughed out loud when he heard this: "It's a good reason. You can lie to me. After all, I have no choice. You can't lie to others. Do you think the Ministry of Magic will believe your lies?"

"What if, maybe the minister will believe it."

"..."

Seeing that Wayne was unwilling to tell the truth, Auston shook his head speechlessly and said seriously: "Be serious, you are in danger now and are being targeted by many people."

"Isaac did it. What do you want from me, Wayne?"

"I said that once suspicion arises, the crime is established. The higher-ups of the Ministry of Magic know that you are Bruce. If you can be Bruce, you can be Isaac." Auston touched his chin, feeling happy but having a headache.

The heir is so good that he won’t suffer any loss wherever he goes;

The heir is a troublemaker and creates chaos wherever he goes.

I asked you to go out to discuss business, and you bombed the Ministry of Magic's hometown. Let's show your cards. How on earth would you be willing to calm down?

Wayne spread his hands and said, "What should we do? The trouble came to the door on its own initiative. They have already hit the house. I have to fight back."

"I don't blame you for fighting back, I just..."

Auston choked on his words. The heir would always inadvertently break into the whirlpool and seek benefits from danger. He didn't know how to evaluate whether it was good luck or bad luck.

"Auston, do you need to hand over these stolen goods?"

"casual."

"Is it so casual?"

"Otherwise, if I hand it over it will appear that I have a guilty conscience, and the charges will be immediately confirmed. If I don't hand it over, it will appear that I am arrogant. They will try their best to pin the charges on me."

Auston rolled his eyes: "Sure enough, it's best to hand you over, or you can sacrifice yourself for the family."

Wayne rolled his eyes. One day, when he takes charge of the Landau family, the first thing he will do is to liquidate the previous head of the family, who slept with Lao Den's daughter, beat Lao Den's grandson, spent Lao Den's money, and then threw Lao Den into prison.

"What are you enjoying there?"

Auston snorted angrily and judged others by himself, knowing that Wayne must be setting him up.

Then he said: "You don't have to tell me what happened between you and the high priest of the Moonlight Church, and you don't have to tell me how to crack the forbidden magic field and the mirror space, but you shouldn't save her. The Ministry of Magic has studied how terrible the pollution of the star beast is for a long time and knows it well. Someone will come to you because of this matter."

Auston directly explained that the first one was Planck, the director of the mental hospital was in this line of work.

The second one was Bonn, who asked for the flesh and blood of the star beast. He was the head of the biological research group of the Ministry of Magic, and the dragon blood transformation was his masterpiece.

Being targeted by two legendary wizards was not a good sign. If it weren't for Auston's front, Wayne would have been captured and studied long ago.

But not in public does not mean not in private. Auston asked Wayne to walk less at night, so as not to disappear and live in the basement one day.

Wayne nodded, thinking of the ancient silver coins at home, thinking that Schrödinger would come to the door.

"They won't look for you recently, even if they want to avoid suspicion, they will avoid you."

Auston continued: "The minister issued a self-examination order. Each of the five senior officials who asked for bribes will set up an investigation team to investigate who is the traitor among the other four."

"Political struggle? Whoever loses is the traitor?" Wayne asked tentatively.

"No, the traitor must be caught this time!"

Auston glanced at Wayne and said sternly: "The Ministry of Magic must not only give an explanation to the Moonlight Church, but also to other churches. The traitor has gone too far. He broke the balance and plunged the entire country into a crisis of faith war."

Wayne's expression was solemn. There were only zero times and countless times in the world. Once zero was broken, trust would disappear.

From the perspective of Windsor, it was indeed a major crisis.

From the perspective of other churches, if Windsor could do it the first time, there would be a second time. Be bolder. Have you done it before?

Wayne was overwhelmed. From the perspective of the Ministry of Magic, this incident would not have happened. The death of a high priest would not affect the in-depth cooperation with the Moonlight Church. Because of him, the high priest survived.

Good fellow, he was clearly executing justice, but he suddenly became a national criminal!

The higher-ups really have good vision, other spies are rubbish, and Wayne is the one who really makes trouble for Windsor.

Auston probably saw Wayne's depression, and he comforted him: "From the perspective of the family's interests, I was the first to eliminate the suspicion. This is a good thing. You don't have to participate in the investigation team. Keep a low profile for a while."

Perhaps unwilling to give Wayne too much good face, Auston's face darkened again after he finished speaking: "The crisis you face is not only two legendary wizards, but before you go to Luzelburg, someone in the Ministry of Magic wanted to kill you."

"Is there such a thing?"

Wayne was very puzzled. As upright as he was, he never caused trouble. Even if he did, it was to fight crime. Why did someone always think about him?

Or is the Ministry of Magic part of the crime?

"You go to Luzerburg and stay at the Capital Hotel. From the moment you board the plane, all registrations are in real name, and your whereabouts are not hidden."

Auston's tone gradually turned cold: "The other party used the resources of the Ministry of Magic but left no available clues, which shows that they are well prepared, but this is a backup plan, a follow-up preparation for the failure of the ambush of the Moonlight Church. If it were me, in order to make the plan foolproof, I would definitely check the list of hotel guests to prevent uncontrollable factors."

At this point, Wayne understood what Auston meant. He registered in the hotel with his real name and negotiated business on behalf of the Landau family. It was impossible for the traitor to find out.

Although Auston did not announce to the public that he was the heir, he had already sent a signal. The traitor knew this and still insisted on ambush in the hotel, clearly intending to kill him.

Auston played with the ancient silver coin: "It's a good idea, but I underestimated your strength."

"How can this be absurd!"

Wayne nodded with a serious face: "This is not a kick to my ass, it's clearly a slap to your face."

Auston did not respond. This ambush revealed a lot of information. It was not Wayne who was killed, but the Landau family. He must be cautious.

After a while, Wayne broke the calm and looked at the four treasures on the table: "What should I do with these things? They are suddenly hot."

"Put them in Landau Manor first, and wait until the matter is over. You live at home these days. The new house has been decorated. Don't run around."

Auston explained the handling method. Dragon blood was what he wanted, so he kept it directly. The Book of Moon Shadow and the Forgotten Manuscript were backed up. When the matter is over, they can be used for trading and make another wave of money.

The Fire Element Ring is a bit difficult. Knowledge can be copied, but the ring cannot. It depends on the other party's offer. If the price is suitable, trade it. If it is not suitable, say it is lost.

I understand. If you don't make money, you will lose money. There is no way to hand it over.

Wayne nodded repeatedly, worthy of being the middle-aged version in the mirror. If there is money to be made, then make it. If there is no money to be made, then make it.

But there is one thing that he cares about very much.

"Auston, in whose name is the dragon blood given to the teacher and Veronica, you or me?"

"I have helped you clean up so many messes, and you still want to steal my dragon blood!"

Auston was very upset. He had not stepped down yet, and Wayne dared to blatantly steal his benefits. If he stepped down, wouldn't he have to live in the gatehouse in the future?

"I also paid a lot. You don't know that I almost lost my life to get the dragon blood." Wayne complained repeatedly. If it weren't for his efforts, the dragon blood would have been stolen long ago.

The two stared at each other again. Two minutes later, Auston sneered and said, "As far as I know, you have been sleeping in the same suite with your secretary during these days of staying in the hotel!"

"..."

You know again?
