361: Chapter 174: Youth is Wonderful 361: Chapter 174: Youth is Wonderful Wayne turned to look at Philona, and seeing that her expression was not joking, found himself montarily uncertain of this woman’s true intentions.
Thinking about the intelligence he had gathered from Chris, he had so guesses in his mind.
This lady was no good person, she had co to Windsor to stir up trouble!
Wayne stood up, keeping a safe distance from Philona, and shook his head, “When we t, the deputy minister introduced , saying not only am I a mber of the Magic Departnt, but I also co from the Tulip Family, born a man of the Royal Family, and in death a Drifting Ghost of the Royal Family, it’s impossible for to betray the Magic Departnt and join the Moonlight Church.”
As he spoke, he held his head high and his chest out, proudly stating, “I have practiced magic for many years and have co to understand two things only, one is the Queen imprinted on the Xianling, and the other is the Queen wearing the crown.”
“So, what you’re saying is, it’s going to cost more money?”
“This is not about the money.”
Wayne scoffed, “taphor, do you understand taphor?
I an I am very loyal, only loyal to the Queen.”
“Hmm, too loyal indeed!”
Philona chuckled softly.
The purity of Liberty Mages in the Windsor Magic Departnt was high, and Mages from the Tulip Family mostly had no faith to speak of; their faith had beco a trade, and so loyalty naturally had its price.
“Glad that you understand.”
“So, how much more money will it take for you to take seriously the Queen with the crown and hold the Queen on the Xianling close to your heart?” Philona said straightforwardly.
She sat cross-legged on the sofa, her long legs stacked together, the hem of her silk bathrobe slipped off, revealing her long, fair legs to full view.
Great legs, a pair of garter belts would be the finishing touch!
Auntie, I’ll take you to a hosiery shop tomorrow for a spin.
Wayne glanced at her, shook his head, and replied, “Thanks for your generosity, but unfortunately, you’re too old for ; I’m still tender and deserve a younger girl, I suggest trying soone else.”
That Chris he’d seen at the airport today wasn’t bad!
“…”
Philona’s smile stiffened; seduction had not been her intention, after all, she was a Regional High Priest, and even if she were to use the beauty trick, it wouldn’t be carried out by her personally.
It was the bathrobe that had slipped down on its own.
But Wayne’s words seriously irritated Philona; she wasn’t old, she was confident in her charm…
Having seen the world, the auntie quickly regained her composure, and leisurely fixed her bathrobe back into place, “Wayne, you were reprimanded by the Magic Departnt for saving soone and are deeply dissatisfied with their ruthless arrangents; it’s clear you have no loyalty to them.
Our Moonlight Church is different; we encourage and praise kindness.”
Hard to say; without the beauty filter, the pitted white moonlight isn’t lovely at all.
Wayne said, “As I’ve said, apart from my identity in the Magic Departnt, I am also a mber of the Tulip Family and will only be loyal to the Queen.
Even if I did agree and swore to serve the Moonlight Church, you wouldn’t trust .
Let’s drop the idea of switching sides; it’s better for everyone involved.”
Undermining the loyalty to one’s position was out of the question; Wayne saw Philona as nothing more than trying to extract information from the Magic Departnt.
If she were bolder, the auntie believed she could seduce him into betraying the Magic Departnt for revenge.
Too troubleso!
Wayne advised Philona to try soone else; he just wanted to cling to the Goddess’s coattails and study hard, not get involved in grudges or vendettas.
Philona frowned; she was serious and had not been joking when she truly wanted to poach from the Magic Departnt.
She’d personally experienced the terrifying pollution from the Star Beast and was acutely aware of Wayne’s imnse value; she wanted Wayne for both personal and official reasons.
Simply based on Wayne’s complaints about the Magic Departnt, she believed that she could successfully poach him; if not successful, it was just a matter of not offering enough.
So, make your price known!
The atmosphere turned sowhat silent as both sides waited for the other to na a price, during which they made so awkward small talk.
Half an hour later, Philona glanced at the clock, “Let’s call it a day, I’ve enjoyed our talk, let’s continue tomorrow.”
Just half an hour, who does she think she is looking down on?
Wayne knew what Philona ant; she was rely trying to sow discord, a tactic for children, and she wasn’t even serious about it.
If it were him, he’d definitely leave a trail of kiss marks on her face.
At the very least, put a stamp on the collar!
As Wayne was leaving, Philona looked sweetly at him, counting on her fingers, “Invite for afternoon tea tomorrow, followed by a tour of Lundan’s renowned attractions; and in the evening, I want to listen to a musical, don’t be late.”
So many demands!
Wayne curled his lip, responding, “I promise to complete the task, and please stay quiet during this ti and cooperate with .”
“That will depend on your performance.”
Philona looked at her nails and said casually, “If you don’t make happy, I can hardly guarantee I won’t complain to the Magic Departnt about sothing.”
“Is that how you treat your savior?”
“…”
After a pause, Philona continued, “I represent The Church; I can’t possibly remain silent about everything.”
“Then I have no issues.”
The double barrier dissipated, Wayne left the estate, and Philona summoned two attendants, “Make the arrangents; let Dorin investigate who he truly is and from which Tulip Family he cos.”
As she spoke, she added, “Tell Dorin, this is her first mission from ; don’t disappoint .”
…
The next morning, Philona arrived at the Moonlight Church base.
Priestess Dorin led the welcoming party, with her adopted sons and daughters behind her, over twenty attendees alone.
Due to the Royal Family’s restrictions, the Moonlight Church in Windsor could only display one Gold Mage as their forefront, even if the Royal Family lifted the restrictions, the highest leader of the Moonlight Church in Windsor could only be a Gold Mage.
This was severely out of proportion with the scale of the Moonlight Church.
