When the two coins slowly rose from the water column, Helen was completely stunned.

Wu Lai was also startled. Huh? How could there be one gold and one silver?

While the people around him were clapping and cheering, Ye Jianwu was still immersed in shock. Odo was also shocked. He saw with his own eyes how Wu Lai threw the coins into the water column without any fancy moves. Then, he saw the two coins rise up steadily and slowly...

"Oh, you must tell me your names, because according to convention, your names will be recorded in the history of the Fountain of Fortune." Galileo said to Helen while clapping with a smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Helen bit her lip and said, "My name is Helen Angelina and his name is Woole Glindo."

When Wu Lai walked towards Helen from the side in confusion, there was a hint of nervousness and shyness in Helen's eyes when she looked at him.

"Oh, young citizens, bless you." Galileo stepped forward and gently hugged Woolley. "You will definitely be happy."

"Thank you. I will come to thank you specially some other day." Wu Lai said sincerely. He could see the meaning in Helen's eyes.

Galileo patted Wu Lei on the back gently: "It's my honor."

A double entendre.

The four of them quickly left the central square. It was not that Wu Lai did not want to stay any longer, but the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Not only was it awkward, it was also a bit dull. Except for Wu Lai, the other three were rethinking their understanding of God. But Wu Lai didn't know what they were thinking about, otherwise he wouldn't mind mocking Odo and Ye Jianwu in his heart, saying, "Oh, poor barbarians."

As for Helen, how could he bear to treat her like this.

After returning to the Green Building, Helen went straight back to her room and did not even come downstairs for dinner. If there had not been the "lover verification" incident today, Wu Lai might have shamelessly knocked on the door. However, his face seemed to have become a little thinner now. He hesitated for several times while holding the plate, and finally asked Ye Renwu to deliver it.

That night, Oddo went to the front yard to practice rapier, Ye Renwu found an excuse to go out for a walk, and after Wu Lai gave all the instructions to Klee, he asked someone to move a chair and sat in the backyard, in a daze.

He was both in a daze and in incoherent thoughts - Wu Lai stared at the two moons, one big and one small, in the sky for a long time, sighing softly from time to time.

The wind blew through the green plants in the yard, the leaves rustled, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the moonlight, making Wu Lai suddenly feel an unbearable sense of loneliness.

As he sighed again, Helen's voice came from behind Wu Lai: "Are you in a bad mood?"

Wu Lai looked back in surprise, only to see Helen standing not far behind him, tall and graceful, looking extremely holy.

Wu Lai stood up and Helen walked over slowly: "I've only been here for a while, and I've heard you sigh at least ten times."

"Well, I'm a little worried." Wu Lai said after hesitating for a moment.

"Is it because of the clay tablet?" Helen asked with concern.

Woolley shook his head.

"Then, is it because of me?" Helen suddenly asked.

Wu Lai was stunned, and nodded for some unknown reason.

"What do you think about the fountain?" Helen asked again.

Wu Lai looked into Helen's eyes and suddenly read some information. After a slight hesitation, he mustered up the courage to speak: "I believe that it is a revelation from the gods, and I also believe that I have the ability to protect you."

Helen smiled and pointed to the chair and asked, "If I sit down and let you stand by my side, would you be willing?"

Woolley nodded.

A trace of surprise flashed across Helen's eyes. After looking at Wu Lai seriously again, she walked to the chair and sat down, and asked: "Wu Lai Glindo, can I trust you completely?"

"Of course," Woolley replied.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about myself." Helen's voice was calm. "I was able to become a special student not because I'm so outstanding, a so-called all-rounder, but because I'm well-versed in a wide range of fields. I like reading books, listening to stories, learning, and remembering. Do you know why I do this? Because I shoulder the burden of rebuilding my family, and my family declined more than ten years ago. Not only declined, but also withered. Four years ago, my father also died, so I am now the last heir in the family."

"My father's past merits allowed me to enter the academy. Even more fortunately, the academy also gave me the honor of a special student. In order to live up to the expectations of my family and to be worthy of the academy's kindness, I have been studying and waiting for the past few years."

Wu Lai nodded. What Helen said made him feel depressed, and it was also very similar to his experience - both were persisting in order to achieve glory.

"Do you know what I'm waiting for?" Helen looked at Wu Lai.

Wu Lai could only shake his head because he didn't want to make any rash guesses.

Helen's smile in the moonlight made Wu Lai more and more intoxicated: "I am waiting for a partner I can rely on, a brave, wise, and tolerant person. He must be rich, noble, and a hero admired by everyone... Wu Lai, will you be such a person?"

"What are you going to do if I do it?" Wu Lai's heart beat a little faster.

"If you can become such a person, and are willing to devote all your efforts to helping me rebuild my family, then I will be happy to accompany you for the rest of my life." Helen looked at Wu Lai seriously, "Wu Lai Grindo, you can understand this as my oath. As long as you can do it, I can do it."

Wu Lai was delighted. These things were not too difficult for him. He nodded and gave a serious answer: "I am sure I can do it. I am brave, wise, and tolerant. You can see from the little things in my daily life that I am rich. I am more willing to use facts to prove my ability to accumulate wealth. You should know that inherited wealth is very different from wealth created by your own hands."

"Secondly, the word noble is very vague. I personally think it is more about describing temperament rather than specific strength. As for being admired by thousands of people, I think that being admired by thousands of people is not worthy of you."

A hint of surprise flashed across Helen's eyes.

"Helen, I hope you can witness that I can not only be admired by thousands of people, but I can also make more people respect me. If you are willing to see it, I can make my words become law. If you are willing to hear it, I can make the whole of Assyria circulate poems praising you."

Helen stood up gently, her eyes lingering on Wu Lai's face for a long time, and then she slowly said: "Oh, no, Wu Lai, you are just a child, how can you understand these so, so..."

Children? Wu Lai smiled and shook his head: "Helen, I know I am a few years younger than you, but you have to know that when I was thirteen, I was already the head of the family..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Oh, I know, that's true." Helen took a step back and suddenly smiled. "I'll wait and see if you are a brave, wise, tolerant and noble person. Also, I like listening to people tell stories, especially military stories. Many elders in my family have served as lieutenants in the legion. Unfortunately, there is no military heritage in the family now. I want to learn from the stories bit by bit, and then gather them into a new family heritage. Doesn't this sound a little too incredible?"

Wu Lai laughed: "It's nothing incredible. Although I'm not good at telling stories, I can help you with this because I happen to know a set of ancient military stories. It also has a name, "The Art of War of the Saint of War."

"Really?" Helen asked, her eyes lighting up.

...That night, Wu Lai and Helen chatted until midnight before reluctantly parting. Then, Wu Lai couldn't sleep.

However, since that night, the relationship between Helen and Wu Lai has become much closer. However, Wu Lai does not know that his relationship with Helen has taken a big step forward, because he does not know that Helen has actually tacitly acknowledged that he is her lover, so the two still keep a certain distance.

But how can this be hidden from the observation of smart people, for example, Night Blade Dance.

After noticing how close Helen and Wu Lai were, Ye Renwu became a little distant from Helen, which somewhat surprised Oddo. However, no one took it too seriously.

In the following ten days, except for two days when everyone went back to the college together, the four of them stayed in the Green Building most of the time and seldom went out. Of course, Wu Lai had also taught everyone most of the things he wanted them to learn.

After a few days, the Green Building suddenly became lively.

Gauguin and Siban not only transferred all the things and manpower that Wu Lai needed, but also asked Monica to bring Hippo and two female slaves, so little Xie also came.

When seeing Wu Lai, Hippo was so happy that he shed tears, but little Xie timidly hid behind his mother and quietly observed Wu Lai. It seemed that he had forgotten Wu Lai.

"Master, this is the copy of the account book that Teacher Xiban and Butler Gao Geng asked me to bring." Monica handed a notebook to Wu Lai and continued, "Teacher Xiban also said that Baishi Building has a stable income, and Master can use it at any time when he needs money."

"No need for that. What you brought me is a lot of gold coins." Wu Lai laughed, stuffed the copy of the account book into his arms, and took Xi'e's hand, "Let's go, Xibo."

"Okay, young master." Hippo responded happily.

After lunch, Wu Lai started to get busy. Although he had the help of Klee and Monica, there were some things that they could not do alone. He was busy for the whole afternoon. The manpower, paper, ink, and small machines from the White Stone Building were all arranged. All that was left was to wait for Guru's paint.

During dinner, Helen asked curiously, "Why do you need so much paper?"

It's no wonder she was so curious. The amount of paper Wu Lai brought this time was huge, including 110,000 sheets of ordinary paper and 17,000 sheets of special thickened paper, which was equivalent to taking out all the reserves of Baishilou.

"The academy's 200,000 gold coins include the printing costs, so naturally a lot of paper will be used. Besides, I have another business to start, and those special thickened papers are prepared for it." Wu Lai replied.

"Oh? What kind of business is it?" Helen asked.

Wu Lai was about to answer when Ye Renwu suddenly interrupted and asked, "Wulai Grindo, what is your relationship with that Xi Bo? When you were bathing this afternoon, she seemed to be with you. Can you tell me more?"

Wu Lai blushed. Ye Renwu was right. When he was taking a bath in the afternoon, he did ask Xibo to give him a massage, and he did nothing else.

Just as he was hesitating about what to say, Helen smiled and said to Wu Lai, "Don't worry about Ye Jianwu. A true noble would not bathe himself. Tell me, what kind of business is this? I'm very curious."

"There is an ancient game called Landlord. Has anyone heard of it?" Wu Lai asked.

Helen shook her head seriously, Ye Renwu and Odo looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
