Chapter 769: Chapter 302 Everyone Has Strengths, Except for Franklanders_4

"Because we’ve all been quite discontented with the Queen recently,"

"Oh, the Queen took a swing at the Magic Department as well?" Wayne’s interest was piqued, prompting Plank to elaborate on this part of the conversation.

"The Magic Department belongs to the Queen; she can do whatever she wants with it. We’re just the employees; we work as much as we’re paid and don’t have the right to point fingers at her."

Plank first clarified the stance of the working class, then his tone shifted. "But the Queen was wrong to suddenly appoint two outsiders to the vacant deputy minister positions. Take me, for example; I’ve toiled away for years without complaint. Even if I don’t have merits, I have hard work, and if not hard work, then at least fatigue. I was counting on becoming a deputy minister to make up for all the spiritual loss!"

Plank babbled on, closely watching Wayne’s facial expressions to gauge some kind of reaction.

Seeing nothing, he couldn’t help but intensify his tone: "Wayne, you might not know, but these two parachuted deputies are from Frank. They’re arrogant and rude, neither pragmatic nor reliable. They started throwing their weight around as soon as they arrived, acting superior to everyone..."

The Windsor and Randao families have maintained a century-old friendship, and even a Legendary Mage can’t escape convention. Wayne translated Plank’s words: two smelly outsiders have come to Lundan to beg for food.

And they even got it!

That’s a bowl of food Plank hasn’t even tasted yet!

Wayne thought it was funny, and with meticulous concern, he said, "That’s not fair to say. Looking at it from the perspective of an outsider, they’re newcomers after all, wanting to establish their authority. It’s understandable for them to be tough."

"But they are from Frank! Everyone has their good points, except for the people from Frank!"

"No, everyone has their good points, even the people from Frank."

"I don’t think so."

Plank kept on complaining. Observing Wayne’s reluctance to comment, he asked again, "What are the Lando Family’s actual thoughts on this, and the entire Tulip Family too? Just come out with it; if you lack a strong voice, Borne and I can speak up for you."

You two had better go study quantum mechanics!

Rolling his eyes, Wayne didn’t close off the conversation, "To be honest, my position is firmer than Austin’s, but he’s the head of the family, and I don’t have the final say in the Lando Family, at least not for now."

"So when will you become the head of the family?"

"Ah, this..."

Wayne blinked with a look of indignation, "Don’t spout nonsense. The Randao Family is a model of paternal kindness and filial piety. I will only support Austin; he is the true head of the family."

Not getting a concrete answer, or rather, receiving only an ambiguous one, Plank wasn’t very satisfied.

He picked himself back up, changing the subject: "Wayne, we talked on the phone about the chief physician job. What do you think? Any interest in working in the Crimson Leaf Forest?"

At this, he sized up Wayne with a meaningful smile, "Let me guess, you’ve become a Golden Mage now, haven’t you?"

"Funny you should mention it, I just advanced yesterday."

"That’s quite the coincidence."

Plank chuckled slyly, squinting his eyes, "So, what have the five faiths granted you? Has your Protogenos Bloodline given you the power to challenge a Legendary Mage at the Golden Mage stage?"

"Hard to say."

Wayne shook his head. Given the current situation, with five Divine Artifacts in hand, it should be the Legendary Mages challenging him.

"Wayne, that’s a bit much; at least share some information."

Plank, incapable of containing his eagerness, said, "You’re a Golden Mage, and a Golden Mage of the Naturalism Church at that. You could perfectly replace Sidney. Trust me, even the maddened Forgotten hold precious knowledge worth you accepting this job."

Wayne was indeed interested; he was addicted to research and it could accelerate his evolution. He accepted the job where clocking in and out depended entirely on the chief physician’s mood.

"Also, as part of information sharing, I’ve got a significant secret about the Crimson Leaf Forest. Interested?"
