Restarting the myth

Chapter 39: Lord of the Void

Garden pavilion.

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

Veronica called last night, and Wayne heard the uncontrollable joy between her words, thinking that the matter was done, and his father-in-law had dealt with the 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.

Asked that it would be soon, and it would be done soon.

Wayne had no choice but to ask Veronica to bring a message to Mr. Landau, thanking the other party for his great help. In the future, he would never refuse any place where he, Wayne, could be used.

Wayne didn't ask why Veronica was happy, and guessed that she had graduated successfully.

Damn genius, while you can still laugh now, hurry up and laugh for a while, when he, Wayne, rolls up, you won't be able to laugh anymore.

Wayne has food and drink in Enrode Town, lives in a mansion, eats and drinks top-quality food, has a luxury car when he goes out, and has a housekeeper and maid when he goes home. He has no obsession with returning to Lundan as soon as possible.

He only wants three things now, meditation, meditation, and meditation!

Even if that big shot doesn't stop him, he still has the foot-confinement magic of the royal sister teacher on him. Anyway, he can't return to Lundan, so he might as well devote 10,000% of his energy to practice.

In addition, Wayne is quite ashamed of his long-term behavior of freeloading on the Landau family. He provides food and accommodation and helps to settle the big guys on the road. Mr. Landau treats him so well. If this doesn't develop into a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship, he doesn'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 called Wayne "Master" because of Healy. The hostess valued Wayne very much. The two were in a teacher-student relationship.

If it was just an ordinary teacher-student relationship, Fla would not change the address, but Healy specifically reminded him to treat Wayne with the same respect as the members of the Landau family.

There are not many members in the Landau family. Ignoring some insignificant distant relatives, there are only three heavyweights, the male host, the female host, and the eldest lady. It is okay to call Wayne "Young Master".

Wayne tried to get the butler to change the address, but the effect was average, so he just let him go.

Young Master is Young Master, as long as it is not Master Wayne.

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

Wayne stopped meditating, pondered for a moment, and thought 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 the middle-aged man. The smell rushed to his head, and there was no mistake about this.

Wayne guessed that the method of murder in the closed room was inconsistent with his reasoning. The middle-aged man did not hide behind the door, but stood behind the curtain. The two detectives came to tell the truth, and exchanged their experience in solving cases with this excellent detective colleague, and made progress together.

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

Wesley and Hood looked at the worthless manor, and then heard the butler's address to Wayne, and fell into silence for a short time. People's joys and sorrows are not the same, 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 that he saw the family emblem of the Landau family 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 directly affiliated Tulip Corps, all of whom were noble knights, and were synonymous with elegance and power.

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

The family emblems of these fourteen families are all based on tulips, or decorated with shields, swords, scepters, or slightly modified in flower shape, and the overall style is unified.

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

The Landau family is one of the tulip families, and it is also one of the few tulip families that is active in the public eye. Its achievements are average. It opened a small bank in Lundan, and joined forces with several other banks to form the Lundan Bill Exchange, monopolizing the bill exchange business, thereby controlling all small and medium-sized banks in Lundan.

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

The head of the family, Auston Landau, was re-elected as the mayor of the financial city of Lundan. He owns many newspapers and radio stations under his private name, has strong industrial assets, and is particularly fond of social assistance. He has a status in the entire Kingdom of Windsor.

So, what does Master Wayne mean, Mr. Landau has an illegitimate child? x2

The two detectives came up with an absurd idea at the same time, suspecting that they had discovered the big secret of the Landau family. Wesley believed it directly. He had seen Auston Landau himself at a cocktail party, hugging women on both sides and visiting 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 are good at analysis and reasoning, and their imaginations are very big. Wesley and Hood looked at each other and backed off.

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

Rich people cherish their lives.

"You two, don't be restrained. This is not my home. Just like you, I am also a guest here."

Wayne asked: "Is it yesterday's secret room poisoning case? There is something wrong with my reasoning?"

The illegitimate child cannot directly identify himself. Wesley nodded and replied: "It is indeed yesterday's murder, but Mr. Wayne's reasoning is correct. You are a very powerful detective, and your ability to capture details is impressive." Hood and I are proud that we came to visit today for another reason."

"Please tell me."

"Mr. Wayne, have you ever heard of the Geocentric Cult?"

The Geocentric Cult has never heard of it, but the Geocentric Cult does know about it. There was a little friction between Copernicus and the Pope about this.

Wayne pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said bluntly: "The first time I heard about the Geocentric Religion, was it the conservative sect in Windsor?"

"It is a sect that has only begun to spread recently. They not only advocate 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 from the inner earth world..."

"There are passages 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 inside..."

Wesley told some content about the Geocentric Cult, and finally said: "According to my investigation, the Geocentric Cult first developed from the town of Enlord and attracted a large number of believers. Now it has begun to take shape and has even affected London. Dan.”

Hood nodded and continued: "Professor Vincent, who died in the hotel yesterday, was invited by the Geocentric Cult. He was a very famous geology professor. The Geocentric Cult found a path in the town of Enlord. The passage to the inner world, I want Professor Vincent to investigate and publish an academic article to attract more believers to join the religion.”

"The professor is dead. He was poisoned by his own students. According to the prisoner's confession, this was a murder case of love."

Love murder?

How do you say that the professor is having sex with the student, the professor is sleeping with the student’s girlfriend, or the student is sleeping with the teacher’s wife?

Can you elaborate? My friend wants to eat melon.

Wayne was confused when he heard this and asked doubtfully: "You two, after talking so much, you still haven't said why you came to me. Can you give me a quick word?"

"Our investigation into the Earth Center Cult has reached an impasse and we would like to ask Mr. Wayne for help. Your ability is far superior to ours." Wesley said dryly.

This was the original plan, but after learning that Wayne was the illegitimate son of the Landau family, this unrealistic thought was eliminated.

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

Wesley and Hood were not disappointed either. Anticipating this result, Business exchanged a few words and stood up to say goodbye to Wayne.

"By the way, if Mr. Wayne encounters followers of the Earth Center Cult, please don't listen to their rhetoric..."

Wesley looked around and whispered: "The person who entrusted me to investigate the Geocentric Cult is not an ordinary person. It comes from an official intelligence agency in Lundan. I am not in a position to disclose the details. As long as you know that the Geocentric Cult is not Just a formal sect.”

Wayne nodded. He didn't believe in any goddess from a serious sect, let alone a cult whose setting was full of contradictions. Before bidding farewell to the two of them, he casually asked: "Mr. Wesley, do you know who the Earth Center Cult believes in?" A god, a god from the center of the earth?”

"On the contrary, the gods believed in by the Geocentric Religion do not come from underground, but are above..."

Wesley shrugged: "The god the Geocentric Cult believes in comes from the universe and is called the Lord of the Void."

"Lord of the Void..."

Wayne muttered the name, but the dark man couldn't explain. He always felt that the God's Choice Continent was weird and filled with an indescribable smell.

Knowledge that makes people crazy, after entering the door of truth, they gradually lose their reason until they lose their lives. The more they think about it, the more evil they become.

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

Sacrifice and give you knowledge to the refreshing God!

If you want to attract the attention of a super boss and obtain powerful power from his hands, you can imagine the difficulty and specifications of the sacrifice.

Wayne probably understood the reason why the Earth Center Cult was eager to develop followers. It was short of sacrifices.

Before Hood and Wesley left, he asked the butler Fura to give each of them a business card, and he was willing to contribute a small amount of help if anything strange happened to the two of them.

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

"The Earth Center Cult..."

"Lord of the Void..."

Wayne returned to the garden pavilion and wished the two detectives, no, the two investigators, all the best, and best of all, a safe return and promotion to the ranks of legendary investigators.

It would be great if we could bring back forbidden items like the Necronomicon.

Wayne knew he didn't have the guts to read it. He was living a good life and had no intention of becoming an imbecile at a young age. However, if a banned book really existed, it would give him a more intuitive understanding of the current world.

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

The earth element was constantly strengthening his bones, muscles, and internal organs. 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.

On March 24, Wayne captured 5,000 elemental light points, but still couldn't find the bottom of his life essence.

"I'm afraid three months won't work. My meditation effect is too poor. The teacher is too good at comforting people. She sees through things but doesn't say anything. She's pretty nice!"
