After escaping the assassination and ending the council, Ahes quickly left the royal capital. Although Isaiah said that he could stay here as long as Ahes wanted, Ahes still left.
After returning home, Ahes heard the sound of water flushing in the bathroom.
"Who's in there?" When he came to the bathroom door, Ahers knocked on the door and asked.
No one responded.
Ahes thought for a while, then opened the door and walked in. Inside, Claire was soaking in the bathtub and washing her hair with the showerhead on. No wonder she couldn't hear the loud flushing sound.
"Hey, Claire," Ahs called.
"Ah, it's you." Claire opened her eyes slightly and saw it was Ahs and said, "Where are you going?"
"Wangdu, I have lived in Wangdu for a few days."
Claire stopped washing her hair. After holding some water to wash away the foam on her face, Claire looked at Ahs.
"Did you say you lived in the royal capital for some time?"
"Um, what's wrong?"
"No one can stay in the royal capital except the king, his relatives, members of parliament and candidates for the king's election. Is it possible for you to participate in the king's election?"
"No, no, it's very complicated to talk about." Ahs scratched his face and said, "Isaiah knows my identity as a time-traveler, and he has met other time-travelers before me.
"
"Are we from the same world as you?"
"I guess so."
"It seems that your coming to this world may not be a coincidence. Perhaps some kind of contract summoned you here."
"Is there really such a contract?"
"Who knows, there are countless contracts in the world." Claire glanced at it as she said, "Do you have to come in and talk about this while I'm taking a shower?"
"Well, after all, I haven't seen you for so long. By the way, Miss Claire, have you become plumper?"
"I'm so sorry, that's just bubbles. You'd better get out quickly before I get angry."
"Okay, okay."
After walking out of the bathroom, Ahes found a photo on the table. He picked it up and saw that it was a photo of Claire and a girl. Although Claire in the photo was almost the same as she is now, it was probably a photo from a long time ago.
The other girl in the photo is probably the one Claire went to visit this time.
It is said that Claire used to laugh, but Ahes has never seen Claire smile until now.
To be honest, Ahes is not confident that he can make an old guy who has lived for almost a hundred years laugh.
"You must have been assassinated by a killer these days." Claire said to Ahs after putting on her pajamas and coming out.
"How did you know?"
"I met a guy on the road. After checking it with the Book of Insight, I found that she once tried to assassinate you, but failed."
"Really? Then did you see who sent her?"
"No, she found me when I tried to look again."
"That's right." Ahs sighed slightly and looked at Claire again, "By the way, have you ever been nearly killed since you signed the contract with the Book of Eternal Life?"
"No, it's better to say that I haven't fought a few times." Claire poured hot tea into the cup, "But the Book of Eternal Life is not completely invincible. If it is suppressed by some powerful contract book, you will still die."
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. Will the killer come to trouble me again for a while? I have also solved the war between Helworth and Yipur. I will be able to have a lot of leisure in the next period of time."
Ahes stretched out on the sofa and said.
"Just in time, I'm very hungry. Make me something to eat."
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, as long as it's food from your world. By the way, I bought some lamb leg meat on the way back." Claire said, walked to the kitchen and took out a black plastic bag and said, "Do you have this?"
Is there any way to make it delicious? If it is simply roasted, forget it."
"Lamb leg." Ahes took the plastic bag and was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "I've thought of a good idea, you wait for me here."
With that said, Ahes ran out of the mansion.
Soon, Ahes came back, also carrying a plastic bag in his hand. Claire took it and saw that there were some messy condiments inside.
"Fortunately, the auxiliary ingredients in your world are quite complete. If these were not available, I would have to start from scratch." Ahs said with a smile.
"What's in here?"
"Salt, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, starch, green onions, ginger, eggs." Ahes said while taking those things out of the bag, "Next I will use these things to marinate the mutton, and then cut the mutton into nails.
Small pieces of different sizes and then roasted over fire.”
As he spoke, Ahes also snapped his fingers, and a small ball of flame suddenly burst out from Ahes' palms.
"Although the book of flames is very weak, it is quite convenient for this kind of thing." Ahs said with a smile.
"Will this thing really be delicious?" Claire expressed doubts after watching Ahes put the messy condiments on the mutton in the basin.
"Of course, I bet you'll like it."
"In that case, I'll wait for you outside." With that said, Claire walked out of the kitchen.
"It takes about an hour to marinate the mutton, I guess. The last time I cooked the barbecue was a year ago." Ahs thought while touching his chin.
While waiting for the mutton to be marinated, Ahes summoned the fog man and went to the woods. Ahes ordered the fog man to break off the branches and cut them into sticks. This was a job that ordinary people could not complete.
After the skewers were done and the mutton was almost marinated, Ahes cut the mutton into pieces and skewered them on the bamboo skewers bit by bit.
After finishing these tasks, it was already dark. Ahes called Claire to the backyard. He put the mutton skewers on the shelf and lit a suitable flame underneath.
"This thing looks quite strange," Claire said, squatting aside with her hands on her knees and looking at the barbecue.
"I can see your underwear in this position."
"Does the sight of my panties give you pleasure?"
"Ah, damn it, if you didn't say this, I would really feel happy." Ahs said while flipping the meat skewers.
Soon a few skewers were grilled first.
"Here." Ahs handed Claire a bunch.
"Won't it pierce your throat if you eat it like this?" Claire pointed the sharp end of the skewer at her mouth and said.
"No, of course it's not like that." Ahes said, "It's about turning it sideways and then biting it with your mouth to pull the meat off."
Claire complied and started chewing.
"Oh, this smell really..."
"How is it? It's great, it's much more delicious than simply roasting the leg of lamb." Ahes said with a smile.
"You can even cook this level of delicacies, are you really just a student?" Claire asked while eating meat skewers.
"What is this level? Such things are everywhere in our world."
"Really, your place is really interesting."
"There is something more delicious than this. If I make one every day, I can probably make it for several years." Ahes said, looking at the sky, "That's just right. We are immortal after all, right?"
