Restarting the myth.

Chapter 227 Philosopher’s Stone

Church of Nature, Lundang Division Headquarters.

Xifei met the headquarters investigation team in the conference room. There were ten people in the group. They were dressed appropriately and spoke and acted in a very official manner. It was obvious that they were on missions outside all year round.

The investigation team comes for the candidates of the Saint to examine whether the candidates are qualified and will score them based on their cultivation, appearance, moral qualities, magical talent, devout faith and other aspects.

These ten people are the open investigation team. Although the review is strict, they follow the official procedures throughout the process. Their work location is limited to the office. They understand the unspoken rules of each major division and are happy to be part of them.

Simply put, they are here to complete missions, not to offend anyone. As long as the differences between the major branches do not go too far, they will usually turn a blind eye.

By the way, catch some.

A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Aston sponsored a batch of project funds, the ten-member investigation team immediately had no problems.

They strictly reviewed Wayne and Veronica's documents and files, highly praised the two rising stars of the church, and highly recognized Heaphy's persistence and efforts in cultivating cutting-edge talents for the church.

According to the document, Wayne's full name is Wayne Landau. He is the heir of the Landau family. His father is named Auston Landau, and he is also a student of the high priest of the Lundan division.

Because the Landau family is one of the tulip families in Windsor, with great wealth and a dominant position in London, the status of Wayne's heir is a plus. Also, because he is a student of the high priest, he is definitely one of them, and even if he cannot be selected as the Holy Son, he is worth training.

In terms of cultivation, Wayne is a silver mage, which is above the passing line;

There is nothing much to say about his appearance. Although he does not have a handsome face like a prince, his facial features are regular and his skin is delicate and tender. His appearance is better than most pretty boys.
The subsequent assessment items such as moral qualities, magical talent, and religious piety were all passed with no problems.

In terms of merit points, Wayne is the pastor of Jianhe County. He works diligently every day and once led the crowd to destroy a devil's stronghold. It is no exaggeration to say that he has made great contributions.

Obviously, this file was written by Healy herself. In order to pass it smoothly, she not only spent money to build relationships, but also extensively beautified Wayne's personal image.

Although she herself doesn't think so, she firmly believes that she is telling the truth.

As for when Wayne's father became Auston and whether Auston himself agreed, Heaphy couldn't care less. The extra points must be given to the students.

Therefore, in the archives of the Natural Church, Wayne's family background became the Landau family.

Veronica's file is also that this year the Windsor division nominated a brother and sister as candidates.

As to whether the brother and sister would get engaged in the future, and how to explain their marriage, Healy threw the question to Auston, letting the asshole use his rubbish brain to come up with a solution.

If you can't explain it clearly, then don't explain it. As aristocrats, in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline, it's not uncommon for them to have brothers and sisters.

It doesn’t matter what outsiders think, as long as your family knows it.

In just half a day, Wayne and Veronica's candidate review was successfully passed and received unanimous praise from the investigation team.

Good reviews worth buying!
……

In the high priest's office, Wayne stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the vast plains and valleys, marveling in amazement.

This was Wayne's first time to come to the division headquarters. Just looking at the building specifications and floor space, the Natural Church was far more powerful than the Moonlight Church.

It is understandable that the Church of Nature has a high priest, while the Moonlight Church only had priests, so the two sides are not on the same level in size.

That won’t happen in the future. The Moonlight Church has been fully upgraded. Now Philomena’s office will be as big as Xifei’s office is now.

Wayne guessed that the foundation of this space was the dark domain of the Golden Mage, which might be more advanced. It was built by the church headquarters itself and then sent to Lundan through a special channel. There was no need to mobilize a large number of troops to divide the area, and a new library could be built to disguise the facade.

Thinking about it this way, the library that he invested money in the Moonlight Church is most likely the newest branch headquarters of the Moonlight Church.

“This office is so big…”

Wayne looked at the spacious desk and imagined himself visiting the Moonlight Church headquarters and pressing Philomena on the desk.

Philomena was so crazy that she probably didn't even set up a soundproof barrier and just let the twins guard the door.

"Great! This is a great victory for the Church of Nature!"

Church of Death: I win too.

Dark Church: Me too!
The Holy See of the Heavenly Father: So am I.

Church of the Sun: I win half.

Everyone is winning, except the Moonlight Church, which is losing miserably.

Considering that the force is mutual, Philomena only needs to turn over and the Moonlight Church will win.

Wayne felt a little impulsive when he thought about it, but unfortunately he could only think about it now. The library of the Moonlight Church had not been built yet, and Philomena did not have such a large desk.

"Wait a minute, it's not impossible..."

Wayne looked at Veronica beside him, who was sitting in a chair reading a book, humming a little tune she made up, with her feet dangling in the air, swaying back and forth.

Veronica shuddered at the malicious intent and looked at Wayne fiercely: "What are you looking at, scum, bastard, stinking hooligan, I warn you not to mess around."

Wayne felt very proud to hear that his vocabulary was still so poor.

It's obvious that he is praising him!

"Hey hey hey..."

Wayne rubbed his hands together and walked towards Veronica, who held the book against her chest with both hands. She knew what the social scum wanted to do and said hurriedly, "Don't mess around. This is the office of the high priest. There is also an investigation team for the Saint candidate in the conference room. Something bad will happen."

"I understand. You can go home."

"I can't go home, I can't go anywhere."

Veronica punched Wayne in the face, but the effect was average. She was then taken into the arms of the social scum and gradually lost herself in a deep kiss.

After a moment, Veronica reacted, broke free from Wayne, wiped her mouth, and said angrily: "How could you do this? What if someone finds out..."

"That's more exciting!"

"..."

Veronica rolled her eyes, the smell of social garbage lingering in her mouth, and she picked up the cup of water beside her to rinse her mouth.

Bang Bang Bang!
There was a knock on the door.

Three seconds later, Xifei carefully poked her head out and asked cautiously, "How is it? Did I disturb you?"

Veronica's face suddenly turned red, and she stammered that she was reading a book and nothing happened.

Wayne blushed slightly, revealing the shyness of a young lover, and started to flirt with Veronica: "Teacher, you think too much. Next time, just push the door directly. Veronica and I are very conservative... unless you turn off the lights."

You blush like a bubble teapot!

Veronica punched Wayne in the face, which made Sifty laugh. At that moment, she thought of the scene of her beating Auston twenty years ago.

"Okay, stop talking about love. The investigation team wants to see you. There's a mission."

Xifei's face was covered with dog food. Even though she really liked this bowl of dog food, it was still a little hard to swallow. She warned: "I don't care what happens to you in the future. Be careful recently. There are many eyes watching you. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, teacher, I will watch Veronica and she won't do anything wrong."

"Then leave it to you."

Just leave it to him!

Veronica was speechless and said sarcastically, "Mom, Wayne's father's name is Auston Landau in the file, but where is his mother? Why is there no name? There are huge loopholes in your file!"

"I know. Martha."

Wayne took over the topic. She might not have been called Martha before, but he recently got the Dark Knight vest. No doubt, I bet twenty decrees that it must be this name.

"real or fake……"

Veronica was skeptical, suspecting that the scum of society was deceiving her again.

"Okay, calm down. The investigation team is still waiting in the conference room."

Xifei led her daughter and students out of the office and met the ten members of the investigation team in the conference room. Their tasks were basically completed, except for the last one, which was to conduct a practical review of the candidates' talents.

It is not an actual combat in the arena, but rather a task is assigned and a comprehensive score is given based on the completion of the task. It tests both the candidate's magical skills and his or her brain.

Because it is a task created by the investigation team, candidates will encounter a series of difficulties during the process. The problem-solving process is very important and is related to the final comprehensive score.

"The mission time is fifteen days, which is very relaxed. On behalf of the entire investigation team, I look forward to the performance of the two candidates." Charlotte, the head of the investigation team, handed a document to the two candidates.

Wayne took it with both hands to show respect, and displayed the perfect state trained by Fla. His words and deeds were meticulous, humble and polite, a model of a gentleman.

Veronica wanted to roll her eyes, but held back.

Charlotte smiled and nodded, exchanged a few words in a low voice with a few colleagues, and then left the meeting room, preparing to rest for a night and go to the mission site tomorrow.

Wayne and Veronica followed Healy back to the office. He handed the document to the teacher, who shook his head and said, "This is your task. I will not get involved. Fifteen days is enough. Just don't go too far."

For example, pulling, hugging, and kissing in front of the investigators.

Wayne nodded, opened the file and quickly browsed it. The mission location was in Wenches, to find three philosopher's stones.

The two candidates were asked to eliminate wrong answers, find useful information, and then follow the clues to find the three missing philosopher's stones. Veronica looked over and frowned, "Is this a candidate assessment or a detective assessment? Why is it so troublesome?"

"No need to bother. This stage is to check the brain and prevent the mentally retarded candidates from advancing."

Wayne said he understood, sealed the mission documents, and prepared to return to Randall Manor to study with Veronica all night.

Veronica spat softly, probably guessing what the social scum was thinking, and sat aside holding the document and started to chew on it.

She could eliminate all the wrong answers during the day, without having to do it at night.

Social scum wants to enter her bedroom, but there is no way!
"Teacher, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Wayne looked at Xifei: "You passed the preliminary selection of the Saint Maiden that year. What should you pay attention to in this stage? What is the focus of the investigation team's scoring?"

"The result is not important. You will definitely pass the task in fifteen days. The difficulty lies in your performance during the mission, whether it is intelligence or force. Excellent performance in any aspect can impress the investigation team." Heaphy recalled.

Her mission at that time was to wipe out a death stronghold. Being young and hot-tempered, she mistakenly thought that the people on the other side were pagans, so she swung her fists and beat them up, leaving a deep impression on the investigation team.

This kind of dark history must not be mentioned, as it will affect one's image. Xifei embellished it and reminded: "Candidates are required to be both intelligent and courageous. Just seize this opportunity and perform well."

As she spoke, she reminded, "The open investigation team has already arrived, and the secret team is still dormant. In fifteen days, the two teams will meet up for a comprehensive evaluation. The time left for the secret team's investigation is short. I guess they will show up during the mission and deliberately create trouble for you."

"Also, Flora has been quiet. The more normal she is, the more abnormal she is. You should be careful and don't be too intimate in public."

Xifei frowned. Floro did not manage the open investigation team. The secret team came from the Knights of Nature, and everyone in them had a devout faith. It was thought that they would not accept bribes and corrupt themselves.

She was a little confused about this good sister. She couldn't possibly do it herself and use the beauty trap on Wayne, right?
Shame on him, he's still a child!

Thinking of this, Xifei looked at Wayne and said, "Recently, have you met any women who actively pursued you or even paid for you?"

That's too much!
Especially Mona and Philomena, who had caused him to be short of money recently and had to cut back on Chris's food rations.

"Hey, how many are there? What took you so long to think about it?" Veronica snorted coldly.

She knew who it was.

It could be Weili, or else, it can’t be the senior!
"Don't make trouble, I'm thinking seriously."

Wayne replied, shaking his head at Xifei, "Don't worry, teacher. Apart from Veronica, I have never had close contact with other opposite sexes."

"Oh~~~"

Sifty drawled, looking past Wayne and tilting her head to look at her daughter, who was buried in the documents, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Xifei clenched his fist and coughed twice, warning the two again to be more restrained. Human life is at stake, so don't cause any loss of life.

"By the way, teacher, the mission mentioned three philosopher's stones. What is the meaning of these stones?" Wayne asked curiously.

The Philosopher's Stone is the highest masterpiece of alchemy. It is also known as the fifth element, the philosopher's stone, the miracle stone, the universal elixir, and a panacea-like magical object that can be used everywhere.

Wayne has read a lot of magic books, including the Philosopher's Stone. Some of them praise it, while others criticize it. But as to what the Philosopher's Stone is, the magic books do not mention it at all, and the main focus is on the mystery.

"The Philosopher's Stone is just a legend. I have never seen it, but I have heard many stories about it, such as bringing people back to life, and turning an untalented person into a powerful magician, etc."

Citing some examples he had heard, Heaphy concluded: "They are all rumors. Just read them. If you believe them, you will be fooled."

"What about these three philosopher's stones?"

"It's fake."

"..."

Right.

The Philosopher's Stone has been praised to great heights, but when it comes to what it is and where it came from, experts are at a loss for words.

If the Philosopher's Stone is a hoax, it doesn't matter whether the three stones are real or fake.

If the Philosopher's Stone was not a hoax, such a precious object would definitely not be used to test candidates. The three stones are undoubtedly fake.

"Go back and pack your luggage and leave tomorrow morning. Remember to rest early tonight and don't study too late." Xifei ordered, emphasizing the tone when mentioning rest.

Veronica left the office with her head down, holding the documents, without saying a word on the way. She only kicked Wayne hard when she returned home.

"It's all your fault. Mother is overthinking."

"Then explain to her why you are yelling so loudly..."

Wayne muttered quietly and asked Veronica to study the documents first. He went home to pack his luggage and came over in the evening to study them together.

"Remember to leave the door open for me at night."

"Dream on. I won't even give you a window."

----

Wayne returned home, picked up a few sets of clothes to change into a box, and left the rest of the outdoor equipment to Fla.

After making a few phone calls, he said he was very busy recently and would make an appointment when he was free.

He went into the sewer and went straight to Philomena's manor, had dinner with her, and got three gems by the way.

The red, white and green gems can store three different kinds of magic. A vertical line appeared on Wayne's chest, and tentacles stretched out, rolling up the three gems.

Portable space!

Wayne's personal space is not large and is only used to store important items, such as ancient silver coins and a fire element ring.

The four elemental rings he had obtained before had been drained, and the fire element ring was retained as a spellcasting item. With his affinity for the fire element, he could not use this ring when casting spells, and he kept it just to look cool.

"What on earth did I sleep with?"

Looking at Wayne's cracked chest, Philomena's eyelids twitched wildly, and she raised her hand to touch her boyfriend's chest: "There is a heartbeat, but do you really have a heart?"

"The Ancient God is like this. Congratulations, you are the first woman in the God's Chosen Continent to have sex with an Ancient God."

Wayne gave a thumbs up. Not only the ancient gods, but also the Death Knights, Dark Knights, and Sun Knights in reserve. Philomena completed her faith stamp collection by only slept with one man. She was really too strong.

"Transform again and show me." Philomena urged, wanting to refresh her eyes by seeing her boyfriend's elf form.

"There's really nothing I can do about you..."

Wayne sighed and followed Philomena into the dark realm. Soon, the two beautiful elves hugged each other.

……

"Why did you come so late?"

At Landau Manor, the eldest lady's villa, Veronica was studying documents in the study and pointed to the clock on the wall.

At ten o'clock in the evening, social scum is even later than women.

"There's nothing I can do. A black cat blocked the road and made me lost in life." Wayne sighed and put the blame on Monica.

He didn't tell the real reason because it was too sad and brought tears to his eyes.

Knowing that Wayne was going out for fifteen days, Philomena was worried that her boyfriend was too energetic and might mess around outside, so she advanced the fifteen-day share.

Fortunately, Wayne was not exploited in vain. He sold his masculinity in exchange for three gems, which can be considered as stopping the loss.

"Black Cat? Monica?"

"Well, let's not talk about this. Let me study the document and see which correct answers you have eliminated." Wayne rubbed his hands together. Seeing that there was only one chair in front of the desk, he squeezed aside Veronica and sat on it.

Veronica sat by the whip.

Speaking of Monica, Wayne asked Ash, who had no idea what Monica was, only that this black cat was particularly annoying.

Two social scums meet and firmly believe that Monica is related to the Dark Goddess. They come for Twilight's desperate situation and will reveal their identities only when the real Chosen One appears.

Being held in Wayne's arms by force, Veronica couldn't help but feel her heart pounding so hard that she almost died.

Maybe it's because there are so many losers among golden retrievers, or maybe that's just her personality. Even though she has kissed and looked at each other, she always can't help feeling shy every time she is intimate with Wayne.

"Wake up, stop being dazed. There are three philosopher stones and three clues. How did you find more than ten? Where did the extra clues come from?"

"I suspect there is a hidden level."

"How to say?"

"It's in your diary."

"..."

As for keeping a diary or something like that, since you’re in a relationship, it’s about time you stop doing that.
