Chapter 750: Chapter 296 Solid as Gold Soup, Impregnable, The Advantage is With Me_3

"Ah, what do you mean? I don’t understand,"

Wayne was a bit confused, "Why would The Church want to protect Frank? Chaos in the world would be better for spreading the word of God, making people more willing to believe in their doctrines. Peace doesn’t benefit them."

"No, a stable order is more important."

Austin used Windsor as an example, "All of us know there are problems with Windsor, big problems. I, the Prime Minister, and the Queen all know this, but no one would suggest a reform. Reform means change, and change means destruction."

"When an order can continue, no matter how many faults it has, it’s considered right. If it’s right, you can’t change it, because change implies failure, and failure leads to ruin."

"..."

Wayne seemed to get it. In his words, when a piece of code can run, you don’t touch it, even if it has bugs.

You might have good intentions, but meddling with that bug could cause a domino effect throughout the entire code.

Compared to that, a minor bug is nothing, hardly a problem at all.

Seeing Wayne deep in thought, Austin, holding an Ancient Silver Coin, said, "That’s why I am certain Frank won’t lose, it will only continue to decline and never regain its former glory."

So that’s what you insects think!

Wayne shrugged and said, "Even so, I still believe in Prussia."

"Just because of those stereotypes?"

"Their military uniforms are super cool, okay!"

"..." x2

Megan showed no emotion, and Austin rolled his eyes, completely clueless about what Wayne was saying, and Austin said in disbelief, "As a high-level spy trained by Windsor, your fondness for Prussia is a bit excessive. Keep your mouth in check when you’re outside, don’t just say whatever you want, especially at this stage. Many people are watching me."

"The Tulip Family?"

"And the Queen."

Austin sighed, "I’ve been missing for too long, and I can’t provide a plausible explanation. Being outvoted at the August meeting was a warning from the Queen. Also, I’ve been observed by some people recently, so I must keep a low profile."

Wayne nodded, suggesting starting a revolt and locking the Queen in the basement.

Austin ignored him, telling Wayne to be serious and continue discussing the future strategies of the family.

"It’s too much trouble. You’re the Dark Knight, and I’m many, many Knights. Why not just take out all the troublemakers and save ourselves the headache, instead of racking our brains?"

Wayne had his own views; his brain was precious and meant for managing time and keeping the wings happy. He didn’t want to waste time on insects.

"Your thinking is too arrogant."

"I am the Golden Mage, the God-chosen Knight, and I’ve saved the world. What’s wrong with being a bit arrogant?"

"..."

As the conversation faltered, Austin saw there was no point in discussing further and decided to devise the family strategy himself.

Wayne said, "The research is over, we can abandon the secret base. I have no use for those Forgotten, you can send them back to the Asylum."

Clutching the Ancient Silver Coin, Austin said, "The Princess has already returned. Was your research successful, then?"

"As far as current results go, it’s stable."

"When do you plan on helping Hefei lift the Dragon Blood Curse?" Austin pressed.

Lately, Hefei had been in poor condition, doubting her own strength and contemplating challenging the Legendary Mage in order to prevent the curse from erupting. Austin wanted Wayne to help as soon as possible.

"We can start now, but personally, I suggest we keep observing a bit longer. I need to be sure of Juno’s subsequent performance."

Wayne glanced at Austin, "You should comfort the mentor again. Ultimately, it’s the changes in you that have made her uncomfortable. She’s too proud and doesn’t want your protection."

"How long?"

"Let’s start with one month for the first treatment."

Wayne thought for a moment and continued, "If that doesn’t work, just tell the truth. I got a method to control the Dragon Blood Curse from Saina, and I’m still researching it. The teacher cares so much about family, he’ll definitely be willing to wait a while."

The two discussed the specifics, and Austin turned the conversation back to the Magic Department. With three deputy ministers, one dead in the void, another vanished without a trace, the Magic Department could not maintain order and was currently in the process of restructuring.

Several Legendary Mages were eager to become deputy ministers to better let the warehouses ’accidentally’ burn.

Wayne wasn’t interested in these matters and curiously asked, "Does the arrival of war mean that the previous national policy was wrong? When will the Prime Minister resign?"

"Soon."

Austin internally expressed his pity, then said, "At the last meeting, two members of the Tulip Family were at loggerheads, both wanting to become the next Prime Minister, one of whom you’ve met..."

Rupert Wilson.

The High Priest of the Moonlight Church was attacked, putting the Queen in a passive position. She ordered a thorough investigation, and Austin became the head of the investigative team. Following the trail, he unearthed the Wilson Family’s involvement.

Although it was later proven that Wilson was innocent, with all evidence fabricated by the traitor Ob, Austin still discovered something and took the opportunity to blackmail an exorbitant amount out of the Wilson Family.

At the Tulip Family meeting regarding Wayne’s qualification to succeed the Randao Family, Rupert started his revenge by exposing Wayne as a spy for Frank.

The feud between the Randao Family and the Wilson Family was established, and whether it was a performance for the Queen or not, Austin could not possibly support Rupert becoming the wartime Prime Minister.

Given the choice between two, he opted to cooperate with the other prime candidate.

Winston Cueter.

Also from the Tulip Family, equally immersed in military and political fields, he was the hardliner the country needed during wartime, the perfect contrast to the previous conciliatory policies.

Wayne: "..."

Just hearing that name, it screamed Prime Minister material, probably a warmonger, too.

So when is he taking office?

"Not just yet, he’s about to take on the role of the Navy Minister. We’ll see how he performs. If he does well and finds suitable cabinet members, then the time will be right..."

Having said this, Austin warned, "If I’m not mistaken, you’ll have quite a few people looking for you soon, not just from Military Intelligence Six. You’ll also have some mysterious onlookers appearing around you. They’re representing the Queen, all ordinary men. I hope you’ll hold back a bit, don’t cause me any trouble."

Upon hearing they were ordinary people, Wayne immediately became sarcastic, "The Queen really treats you well, knowing you have a problem being away for a month, yet she chooses to turn a blind eye."

"She has no choice. Among the fourteen Tulip Families, the loyalty of the Randao Family ranks at the top, that’s it." Austin said indifferently.

It had nothing to do with feelings, it was inseparable from the persona he had cultivated over the years, and he hoped Wayne would do the same.

No matter what he thought inside, outwardly he must stick to the dutiful image of loyalty to the sovereign and love of country!

"By the way, how are you managing your Dark Knight powers?"

"I’ve made some progress."

Austin’s lips curved up slightly and he probed, "How about meeting at the Grand Cemetery in the West District tonight?"

"No, no, I’m not your match right now. If we met, you’d definitely kick my ass."

"..."

"What’s wrong, aren’t you talking?"

"Then I won’t go."

"..."

Wayne inwardly felt it was a pity, he had overacted; he should have been more restrained just now.
