Lini was a little unhappy because he only taught one class every ten days, and some students dared to ask for leave, and there were three of them at once - Boti, Guku, and Wulai.

Wu Lai was fine, after all, at least one or two hundred people witnessed him being kicked away by a startled horse yesterday, so his request for leave was understandable. However, Boti and Guku had not shown up for several days...

"The future of the Assyrian territory..." Lini began to lecture, but his thoughts drifted away. In the Assyrian territory, there were two big families that he disliked the most. One was the Xiuman family. Lini felt that the people of the Xiuman family were a group of barbaric and domineering guys. The other was the Leidong family, because there were too many scums in the Leidong family. In Lini's eyes, those who fled in the face of a battle, were afraid of fighting, took shortcuts, and forgot their principles for the sake of profit were all scums.

Ni was absent-minded in this class, which ended almost abruptly. After the get out of class was dismissed, he found Eddie.

"Eddie, get Boti, Guku and Wu Lai for me." Lini said with a sullen face, then frowned and sat on the wooden chair behind the podium.

Eddie wanted to explain a few words for Boti and Guku, but seeing that Lini was unwilling to wait for the visitor, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, nodded and walked out of the hall without saying anything.

Not long after, Boti and Guku, led by Eddie, appeared in front of Lini in a secretive manner, and with them appeared Guru, who looked worried.

"Dear Vice President Lini, I have brought Bottichuman and Gukuredon to you." Eddie reported with a smile, "However, Wulaglindo did not stay in his residence, but left the college, so I brought his roommate Gulukochi to you as well."

Boti, Guku and Guru hurried forward to salute. Lini glanced at the three of them and his eyes fell on Boti: "Boti, how did you get injured?"

"Reporting to Vice President Lini, a few days ago, Gu Ku and I were competing in martial arts, and I couldn't stop for a while." Boti had already prepared a speech, "However, we both know why Vice President Lini has been teaching us to deal with the enemy quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly."

Lini frowned slightly, and after giving a few casual instructions, he waved away Eddie, Boti and Guku, and then turned his attention to Guru: "Guru Kochi, where is Wule Grindo?"

Guru bowed quickly and said, "Reporting to Vice President Lini, Wu Lai must have gone out to buy medicine. He fell badly yesterday." Eddie had already told him about Wu Lai's going out. Even if he wanted to hide it for Wu Lai now, it would be difficult, so he had to evade the question.

Lini snorted coldly and said, "You can still go out after falling so hard? Gulukochi, have you forgotten the rules of the academy?"

"I dare not forget." Guru lowered his head quickly. He naturally knew which one Lini was referring to.

"Since you haven't forgotten, then tell us the real whereabouts of Wu Lai." Lini frowned.

Guru hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and replied: "Report to Vice President Lini, Wu Lai did go out to buy medicine."

"Gurukochi!" Lini's right fist hit the armrest lightly. "Lying will be punished. You should know that members of the academy must fully obey the academy's rules. You should also know that the Citizen Asylum Order does not apply to the academy!"

"I know." After risking his life, Guru was not as nervous as before. "If Vice President Lini insists that I am lying, then I have nothing to say."

"Are you implying to me that Wu Lai told you before he left that he was going to buy drugs, but you actually didn't know where he was really going?" Lini's eyebrows twitched.

"No, as far as I know, Wulai Glindo really went to buy medicine to treat his injuries." Guru didn't want to agree with the answer given by Lini, because that would become another stain on Wulai - in the academy, deceiving friends is as despised as cowardice and incompetence.

Lini narrowed his eyes, picked up the small brass bell on the table and rang it. Soon, a man who looked quite capable walked in.

"Simba, tell this young citizen where Wuleglindo went after he slipped out of the academy?" Lini glanced at Guru and ordered.

The capable man called "Simba" nodded and turned to look at Guru: "After Wulagrindo left the academy, he first went to a tavern, and then went to the direction of Yizhang Street."

"Did he buy anything?" asked Rini.

"Yes, I bought two bottles of liquor and a jar of honey." Simba replied.

Rini's eyes fell on Guru's face: "Guru Kochi, now, do you still stand by the answer you gave me?"

Guru hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Okay." Lini suddenly smiled. "It's shameful to deceive friends. Of course, Wulagindo has ruined his reputation more than once, but you are different, Gulukochi. Are you willing to defend your reputation?"

"I do." After answering, Guru sighed in his heart. After all, he had to consider the feelings of his family.

Lini waved Simba away and said, "Okay, I'll give you two choices. One, announce that you will sever ties with Wulagrindo. This will prove your wisdom. Two, clean the bathroom for five days to pay the price for your credulity and blind obedience. Now, you choose."

"Vice President Lini, let me make one thing clear first. As the heir of the Kochi family, I have learned not to be credulous or blindly follow others since childhood, but I have also learned to be loyal to friendship. So, I choose to clean the bathroom for five days. But this is not a price, but my respect for the academy's precepts and Vice President Lini." Guru bravely met Lini's gaze.

Lini was stunned for a moment, and then a question came to his mind: what charm did this coward Wuleglindo have that made Gulu Kochi, the so-called prodigy in the Kochi family, believe in him so firmly?

After thinking for a moment, Lini nodded expressionlessly: "Gurukochi, I respect your choice. Now, you can go."

Guru bowed and said goodbye, and sighed in his heart, "Alas... Wulai, Wulai, I am in trouble now. My brothers will definitely laugh at me for this. Where are you now? If you are really a person favored by God, then you should really bring some medicine."

Soon, Guru smiled bitterly and shook his head at his strange idea, because before Wu Lai left, he said that he had to go to the central square to find someone to do something, and he also told Guru that if anyone asked, he should say that he was going to buy medicine to treat his injuries.

Just as Guru was walking back to his residence while sighing and shaking his head, Wu Lai appeared in the central square of Assyria with a smile on his face, holding two bottles of liquor in his left hand and a clay jar full of honey in his right hand. He walked calmly and gracefully. There was no trace of the miserable look he had yesterday when he was knocked away by a frightened horse.

After a while, Wu Lai walked to the Weiss Fountain. After putting down the wine bottle and honey jar, he squatted by the pool, rolled up his sleeves, and scooped up water...

As Woolley wet his face, a voice called out from behind him: "Citizens! Please don't wash your hands in the sink!"

Wu Lai stood up, turned around, and forced out a harmless smile.

"Oh, it's Wu Lai, Wu Lailindo, you are such a little rascal." The only person who shouted to stop him and who knew Wu Lai was naturally the person in charge of the central square, old Galileo, the intermediate priest of the temple.

"Oh, Priest Galileo." Woolley spread out his hands. "I'm not washing my hands. I'm just washing my face."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Galileo laughed and walked quickly towards Wu Lai: "You are not only a little bad guy, but also a little scoundrel. Tell me, which one is more excessive, washing your face or washing your hands?"

"Don't worry about it, Priest Galileo. I came here specially to see you." Wu Lai smiled and held up the honey jar and handed it to Galileo. "Please accept my kindness. It is entirely out of my piety to the god Amon and my respect for you."

"Oh, you're so polite." Galileo accepted the honey jar happily but a little ashamed. In the Assyrian territory, clergy can accept gifts from citizens and civilians. In fact, almost no one is really willing to take the initiative to give gifts to ordinary clergy, because clergy of Galileo's level can hardly provide decent help.

"By the way, here's my fine." Woolley took out a gold coin and handed it to Galileo.

"No, no." Galileo shook his head quickly and said with a smile, "Wuli, you don't have to pay the fine. You paid a gold coin last time. Even if you count this time, you can still wash your hands in the pool many more times, hahahaha..."

"Priest Galileo, I didn't expect you to be so good at joking." Wu Lai smiled slightly, turned his wrist, and grasped Galileo's empty left hand. The gold coin naturally fell into Galileo's palm.

Galileo was about to make some polite remarks, but Woolley lowered his voice and said, "Please don't refuse. Please believe me. When I knew that this huge square needed you and some people like you to sweep it and keep it clean, I felt very uncomfortable. From that moment on, I thought about what I could do for you."

Wulai's words suddenly made Galileo feel as if his blood was rushing and his nose was sour. After barely suppressing his inner excitement, he held Wulai tightly and said, "Wulai, Wulai Grindo, you are the most kind-hearted citizen I have ever met, although you are still very young. In fact, there is a reason why I was arranged here, and so are the others. We have been here for many years, and we may stay here until the day we die. We have retained the title of priests, but we are doing the work of menial servants. I guess you should be able to appreciate something."

Woolley nodded. He felt a little surprised the moment he learned that Galileo was a priest.

"Those working in the square are all priests who have served God in the temple but have made mistakes. From the moment we set foot here, we have no hope of returning to the temple. We are not even allowed to go to the city-state temple..." Galileo seemed to have aged twice as much in an instant. In the previous moment, he subconsciously regarded Wu Lai as the person to confide in.

"But you can still serve God. I believe you can as long as you are willing." Woolley suddenly said something that surprised Galileo, but what Woolley said next was more than just surprising Galileo.

"I have received some revelations from the god Amon," Wu Lai continued, "and these revelations are closely related to you, or rather, it is a very specific revelation..."

After hearing this, Galileo was completely stunned.

After a long while, he rolled his eyes with great effort and licked his lips which were cracked due to dryness: "Wooleglind, what you said... is crazy..."

"No one can be crazier than God." Woolley stared into Galileo's eyes seriously, "I am just conveying God's meaning."

A glimmer of light flashed across Galileo's eyes, and then he nodded gently: "Thank you, Wuleglindo, it's just as you said, God has not abandoned us."

"Don't thank me, you should thank God Amon." Wu Lai smiled like a charlatan. "Also, you must remember that this central square is a place of dedication given to you by God Amon, so you must protect it like you protect your life and faith."

"We will. I will tell them right away, and then do as you say." Galileo nodded heavily.

"Okay, let's do this for now. I'll come back at this time tomorrow." Wu Lai picked up two bottles of wine with a smile.
