"The weather is nice. Since the meeting hasn't started yet, why don't we go out for a walk?" Wu Lai asked when the short meeting was over. As he said this, his eyes swept across Odo and Ye Renwu, and then, at the moment before he finished his sentence, they fell on Helen's face.

Immediately, he caught the barely perceptible smile on Helen's lips.

"I heard that the Fountain of Fortune in the central square is very magical. I have been in Assyrian City for a while, but I haven't had the chance to see it. How about it? Shall we go together?" Wu Lai's gaze swept over the three people again, and the focus remained the same as before.

Odo frowned and nodded slightly: "Yeah, I heard about it too, it seems really amazing, count me in."

Wu Lai was delighted and looked at Helen again.

Helen drooped her eyelids, and Ye Renwu glared at Wu Lai with dissatisfaction: "You two can go if you want to. Helen and I will stay here. Who knows what bad things you, Wu Lailin, are up to."

Wu Lai was stunned. Just when he was thinking whether to fight back or laugh it off to ease the situation, Helen spoke.

"Go ahead, I've been thinking of going there someday," said Helen.

"Helen..." Ye Renwu pouted.

Helen smiled slightly and patted Night Blade Dancer's head: "Go ahead. You are the most playful one, so how can we miss you?"

"Hmph." Ye Renwu frowned at Wu Lai. Wu Lai shrugged and spread his hands to indicate that he didn't care.

"Let's go." Ye Renwu grabbed Helen's hand and stood up, as if he didn't even want to look at Wu Lai.

Odo chuckled and winked at Wu Lai: "Don't worry, they will definitely ride with you."

…

The weather was fine, so the central square was naturally very popular. Several circles of people gathered around the Weiss Fountain, which had been officially named the Fountain of Fortune. Several priests were busy, acting as either commentators or maintainers of order.

Wu Lai immediately spotted Galileo strolling leisurely at the edge of the crowd.

Immediately, Galileo's gaze also swept over.

When he saw the light in Galileo's eyes and surprise on his old face, Wu Lai suddenly turned his face to the side, and then, from an angle that Helen and the other two could not see, he made two gestures.

Galileo understood instantly, and then, while paying attention with his peripheral vision, he pretended to approach Wu Lai and his four companions unintentionally.

You old man, you are such a thief and a wretched man, just what I want. Wu Lai thought to himself as he calmly led Helen and the other two to "join" Galileo.

"Oh, four citizens, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time in the central square?" Galileo seized the opportunity and came up to talk. On the surface, this seemed normal. Galileo's priestly attire clearly revealed his identity.

Wu Lai pretended to be stunned, but Oddo had already shaken his head: "I have been here, but at that time, the Weiss Fountain was not as magical as it is now."

"Oh, so you four citizens are here because of its reputation. My name is Galileo. If you don't mind, I would be happy to introduce to you why the Weiss Fountain is called the Fountain of Fortune."

"Okay." Ye Renwu giggled and hugged Helen tightly.

"Please follow me, everyone. It's still early. Why don't you walk around the Vess Fountain and talk as we walk?" Galileo took the lead with a smile on his face, introducing the story as he walked. "The miracle of the Vess Fountain actually only appeared not long ago. At first, it was some civilians... The holy light of God Amon is everywhere, so naturally, the Vess Fountain is also illuminated by it..."

"Our duty is only to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the central square. The people's actions in front of the Weiss Fountain do not violate the divine code, so we will not interfere... Similarly, we have no intention of commenting on the people's actions. However, if the Weiss Fountain is just an ordinary fountain, how can the people do this voluntarily?"

Ahem, these are just clichés. Wu Lai muttered to himself, but on the surface he had to pretend to listen carefully, which made him feel weird.

"Anyone who comes here and sincerely prays for good luck will basically be blessed by the god Amon. Why do I say basically and not all? This is the real magic of the Fountain of Fortune. It does not accept everyone's prayers." Galileo laughed and glanced at Woolley and Helen. "But the most incredible thing about it is that if a couple comes here to pray for good luck..."

"Oh, that's a pity. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to try it today." Wu Lai interrupted Galileo quickly. Letting the old guy continue talking would not lead to any exposure, but it would definitely be embarrassing.

Galileo was startled and immediately shook his head: "Citizen, you misunderstood. What I just said, 'Those who come to pray for luck are a couple', does not refer to men and women who have already become lovers, but to men and women who have not yet become lovers. If they can eventually become lovers, the lucky fountain will give a positive answer. If they are not destined to be together, the lucky fountain will also give an accurate answer. This is not something I made up, but has indeed been verified hundreds of times without any error. I wonder if you would like to give it a try?"

Wu Lai was stunned and thought to himself, is there such a thing?

"Okay, then let's give it a try. But Priest Galileo, you have to first tell us what the positive and negative answers are. Otherwise, when the time comes, you'll just make up something and we won't be able to confirm it." Ye Renwu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Helen couldn't help but look at Galileo. Even Otto, who was standing beside her, had eyes full of curiosity.

Wu Lai would not believe Galileo's nonsense, but even if he didn't believe it, it would still be okay to take a look for fun. Anyway, Helen, Ye Renwu and Odo were probably already half-believing and half-doubting. Maybe, this old guy Galileo could help them to fuel the flames.

"Okay, let me explain in detail. The way to pray for luck at the Fountain of Fortune is to throw coins with your back to the fountain. If luck comes, the coin will fall smoothly into the fountain pool. If no luck comes, the coin will never enter the pool." Galileo said.

"This seems to be explained by force and angle, so I have doubts," Oddo interrupted.

"Oh, citizen, you certainly have the right to have doubts, and I have no intention of interfering. Now, let me tell you how to determine whether a man and a woman will be lovers in the future. Of course, it's still by tossing coins, but the man and the woman stand at the two ends of the fountain, facing each other, and at the same time throw the coins in their hands into the main water column in the center of the fountain. If they are destined to be lovers, then a very shocking scene will appear. The coins thrown into the main water column by the two will rise at the same time for a moment, and then fall. If not, oh, naturally nothing will happen." Galileo said very seriously.

Is there such a thing? Wu Lai frowned, and his favorite magic deduction and deciphering began in his mind. Galileo said it so confidently, it definitely didn't sound like nonsense. This old guy must have his own methods, but what is the principle?

"Can Helen and I give it a try? What if she and I can become lovers?" Ye Renwu asked with a giggle.

Galileo looked at Night Blade Dancer seriously, sighed and shook his head, and said: "Fortunately, the Fountain of Fortune is kind and loving, otherwise, it would be unimaginable..."

Galileo didn't say what was unimaginable, but his words made Ye Renwu shut up immediately, and he seemed a little uneasy.

"Four citizens may as well give it a try. Please come this way." Galileo made a gesture of invitation. In fact, this was all for Wu Lai's sake.

The four of them came to the fountain. After a slight hesitation, Wu Lai forced out a harmless smile and said, "Helen, how about we try it once, just for fun?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Helen was stunned, Oddo rolled his eyes, laughed, and said, "Yes, you two go and try it, I just want to see what's going on."

"That's a good idea." Wu Lai nodded.

"Yes, let's try. With Oddo's eyesight, nothing can be hidden from him." Ye Renwu also urged. She had just been defeated by Galileo. As strong as she was, she was always proud of her observation ability. She didn't believe much in Galileo's words. Naturally, she wanted to expose Galileo's tricks and make Galileo look bad. There was no reason not to push Helen forward.

Helen pursed her lips, couldn't help but glance at Wu Lai, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Let's try it."

Wu Lai could see that Helen was also quite nervous.

"Good." Galileo smiled and clapped. "I have to remind you two, when you toss the coin, you must sincerely think of the other party in your heart, and don't deliberately throw the coin to the side, because that is equivalent to automatically giving up. Of course, it also means that you have rejected it in your heart. So, if you really want to know the result, try to make sure that the coin falls into the main water column. It is very easy to do."

Of course it is easy to do. The main water column of the Weiss Fountain is nearly three cubits in diameter, so anyone can throw a coin in there unless it is intentional.

"Excuse me, are we using our own coins?" Woolley asked, thinking that Galileo might have tampered with the coins.

"Oh, citizens, of course use your own coins," said Galileo with a laugh.

His own? Wu Lai frowned slightly, and seeing that Galileo looked calm, he casually took out two silver coins from his purse and handed one of them to Helen.

"No, I have one here." Helen shook her head and refused. She also took out a small purse and took out a silver coin.

"Then let's get started." Galileo clapped his hands and said loudly, "To all the friends who have come here to pray for good luck, it is very surprising that now there is another pair of young citizens who want the Fountain of Fortune to tell them whether they will become lovers in the future."

"So, please step aside a little and let us witness their fate together." Galileo said passionately, and with a wave of his hand, people consciously stepped back a few steps, leaving enough space for Wu Lai and Helen.

Woolley walked to the other end of the fountain, Oddo followed him, Galileo stayed beside Helen with a smile on his face, and Ye Renwu stood not far behind Helen, looking at Galileo and then at Helen.

"Are you ready?" Galileo raised his hand.

"Ready." Wu Lai answered loudly. He could vaguely see the figures of Helen and Galileo through the water column. For some reason, he became a little nervous.

What is Galileo trying to hide? Woolley muttered to himself.

"When you hear me shout 'throw,' you throw the coins. Got it?" Galileo said loudly.

"I see." Wu Lai replied.

Helen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked softly, "Excuse me, can I change some coins?"

"Of course, please feel free to do as you please." Gali smiled slightly and lowered his voice.

Helen's heart moved, and she took out a gold coin...
