Leader of the Ark Raiders

Agor said softly: "Dr. Shen, I have a gift I want to give you."

"Really?" Shen Cangye walked in front of the Agor girl.

Wendy handed over what she was holding in her arms.

Shen Cangye opened some of the coated paper packaging and found a book inside.

This is a well packaged book.

It should have been repackaged after Wendy picked out wrapping paper and ribbons in the souvenir shop just now.

"This is..." Shen Cangye said suspiciously.

"It's some engineering drawings designed by myself. I printed them out and bound them into a book. They're just some small objects, such as bionic sea dragons, water storage cannons, etc. I hope you don't dislike them."

Wendy looked at the drawing book with gentle eyes.

Obviously, that was her painstaking effort for many years.

Shen Cangye was taken aback, "Engineering drawings?"

"Yes." Wendy said, "I heard that there is a Gorefiend chief engineer in Rhodes Island. You and Thorns work to make money because you broke her things?"

"It was the thorns that broke it, not me." Shen Cangye scratched his head, "But this is part of the reason why we work part-time."

The sea dragon girl smiled, "Then, give her this drawing book, and she will definitely not pursue you any more, and you don't have to work so late every day, it's too tiring."

"I won't give it to her, I'll keep it for myself, even if I can't read it, I won't give it to her." When Shen Cangye thought of the capitalist face of that profiteer, he immediately felt that she should not be allowed to take advantage of it.

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Hailong's mouth rose.

She was delighted that the other party cherished this gift.

Wendy pointed to the design booklet, "I made some notes, which are very concise and easy to understand."

"Monkeys can understand, too?" Shen Cangye joked.

Wendy froze for a moment, "Who does the monkey refer to?"

"It's not me anyway." Shen Cangye shrugged.

He went on to say: "Why did you send me this, isn't this the result of your research?"

The Agor girl paused slightly and said, "Because I trust you."

"Ah...?" Shen Cangye paused.

The sea dragon girl raised her head and looked into Shen Cangye's eyes, "I believe in you, and Rhodes Island, I believe that you will use these things to benefit the land, not for personal gain. In my hands, it may not be able to play its greatest role, I believe you will handle them well."

Shen Cangye received the design booklet in his hand, feeling heavy.

It's the brainchild of a genius engineer.

These things are classified as confidential wherever they are placed, and they can even be sold for sky-high prices.

Why did she give it to herself without reservation?

Shen Cangye also didn't understand, why wouldn't she join Rhodes Island even if this precious design blueprint could be handed over to Rhodes Island?

"Thank you!" Shen Cangye thanked sincerely.

"Hmm..." Wendy stared at him, suddenly becoming awkward.

She whispered: "Dr. Shen, please allow me to take the liberty of making a request. Can you give me a flower in return? Even if it is—even if it is a wild flower picked from a tree or the roadside, it doesn't matter!"

——Like other countries, Iberia has its own unique cultural customs.

Every year on St. George's Day, which is the traditional Valentine's Day in Iberia, a girl who is full of spring in her heart will present a book to her sweetheart.

If the man gives a flower in return, it means that the two are in love with each other.

This is a folk tale handed down from ancient times.

Gradually, books and flowers became synonymous with love in Iberia.

———PS———

281. God, please make me rich overnight!

The ancient legend of Iberia was circling in Wendy's mind.

She thought, she was giving a book, and if he gave a flower in return...

She felt so childish again.

It's almost like a girl seeing her zodiac sign matches the zodiac sign of the person she likes.

I am inexplicably happy about these meaningless things.

But... There is still a little hope that he will agree.

"Is it okay?" Wendy asked in a low voice.

Shen Cangye hesitated, "Huh? Sending flowers, I have never had this habit."

"This..." The Agor girl lowered her eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, she put on a smile again, "It doesn't matter, my request is a little strange, I'm sorry for embarrassing you!"

The rejection was so straightforward... Wendy felt a little sad in her heart, but she quickly adjusted.

Today she is the tour guide.

"Let's go, there is a wishing fountain over there, shall we go and have a look?" She pointed to a path beside Puerta del Sol, "Everyone will flip a coin and make a wish."

With that said, she walked in the direction of the path.

"Wendy." Shen Cangye called.

He took out a small box from his pocket, "If you want flowers, can this be okay? Do you think this is considered a flower?"

Wendy paused and turned her head.

Shen Cangye opened the box, and on the velvet lining was a delicate brooch.

It is shaped like a pomegranate flower, the national flower of Iberia.

Clear and small, several bright red gemstones are inlaid on the flower image outlined by metal, and the decoration is perfectly matched.

Shen Cangye scratched the back of his head and said: "I want to thank you for taking me to visit Madreno. After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what to give you, so I bought this brooch after someone recommended it. I hope you like it." .”

It was recommended by someone...of course this person is Pavel.

Shen Cangye felt that Pavel should be the one who knew Wendy the best among the people he knew, so he consulted her.

Little Hailong paused for a long time.

She wants to search for "what does it mean for a man to give a woman a brooch" right now.

"Don't you like it?" Shen Cangye asked.

"I like it! I like it very much! Thank you!" Agor replied immediately.

She rubbed the ground with her toes and said, "Can you help me... put it on?"

"Of course." Shen Cangye took out the brooch from the box.

He leaned over slightly, and pinned the brooch on Wendy's lapel.

"Well, this color matches your eyes unexpectedly well." Shen Cangye wiped the gem part of the brooch and said with a smile.

Wendy looked at him a little shyly, "It's really beautiful, thank you, Dr. Shen!"

"Your eyes are more beautiful." Shen Cangye praised without hesitation.

Wendy began to think about where the nearest hospital was.

... She felt dizzy and her heart was pounding, and she wanted to see a doctor.

Wendy was still in a daze, but Shen Cangye pointed in the direction of the square, "Didn't you say there is a wishing pool over there? Let's go and have a look."

Wendy came back to her senses, she took a deep breath, quickly followed, and walked to the front, "In this direction!"

Leaving Puerta del Sol, they came to the last stop of today's journey, Prado Avenue.

This is an avenue full of art, with exhibition halls such as the Prado Museum and the Queen's Art Center, known as the "Golden Triangle of Art" of Madreno.

On one side of the Paseo del Prado is a smaller square, the Plaza de Cibeles.

At one corner of the square is the famous Cibeles Fountain.

In the center of the fountain is a stone sculpture depicting the goddess of the earth, Sibeles, sitting on a chariot drawn by two lions.

This is also the famous Trevi Fountain in Madreno.

At the moment, there are not many tourists near the Cibeles Fountain.

"It's here." Wendy handed Shen Cangye a small coin, "Do you want to make a wish?"

As she spoke, Wendy took the lead in throwing a coin into the pool.

She closed her eyes, clasped her hands on her chest, and silently said her wish.

Shen Cangye thought for a while, took out all the small coins on his body, threw them all into the pool, and then made a wish.

Miss Hai Long said in astonishment: "Dr. Shen, what are you doing?"

Shen Cangye said seriously, "My wish is super big, to give more money, I hope the goddess of the earth can give me some face."

Wendy was amused, "You are so interesting."

After completing the fixed ceremony of making a wish, they sat down to rest by the side of the wishing pool.

"It's so heavy..." Wendy muttered.

She took the camera off her neck and put it beside her.

They sat by the wishing fountain and sprinkled corn kernels to feed the white pigeons flying in the square.

"I heard that there is a similar wishing well in Syracuse, and that one is more effective." Shen Cangye said looking at the pigeon.

Wendy pretended to be casual and asked, "Dr. Shen, what is your wish?"

Shen Cangye waved his fist, "All the temples I went to, the Wishing Fountain... and the wish I made when I saw a shooting star were all the same - to make me rich overnight! But it never came true..."

Wendy chuckled, "Maybe it will come true this time, because..."

"Because? Because of what?" Shen Cangye said while using his feet to drive away a pigeon that was too close.

282. I cast hope in the wishing pool~

Shen Cangye glanced back at the statue of the Goddess of the Earth, "Because this wishing pool is more effective?"

"Because I granted my wish..." Xiao Hailong twisted his fingers.

She didn't dare to turn around to look at the people around her, but only stared at the flying white pigeons.

Shen Cangye asked curiously: "What wish did you make?"

"I hope that all your wishes will come true." Wendy said in a low voice.

"You really help the world!" Shen Cangye made a gesture of worship, "You are really a scientist who cares about the world, a role model for my generation! Tour guide Wendy!"

It's not helping the world, it's just you... Wendy thought to herself.

Shen Cangye's last address brought Wendy's thoughts back.

She found that her fingers had been scratching the corner of the skirt for a long time, and the skirt was scratched into a wrinkle that could hardly be recovered.

The Agor girl quickly patted her skirt.

She stood up, "I know there's a good restaurant nearby, are you hungry?"

"Oops..." Wendy suddenly let out a cry when she got up.

She looked around in a panic, then supported the tiles beside the wishing pool with one hand, and leaned her body into the wishing pool.

"What's wrong?" Shen Cangye was startled by her actions.

"Camera, my camera fell into the water!" Wendy said urgently, "I don't know when it fell, I—"

"Camera?" Shen Cangye glanced at it.

Wendy's camera is found at the bottom of the pool.
