"So, what's the use of this thing?" After reading the note called Twilight Poem, Ahes looked at Lucia and said, "It's not their culture that I want to know."
"Well, I don't know either. I've never been to the Twilight Kingdom."
"Qi!" Ahes clicked his tongue, folded the note and put it into his pocket.
On the way to Kokchi, there were still people carrying the condemned criminal and shaking hands with everyone. It seemed that Helworth had really spent a lot of money to arrest him.
"Sigh, I don't know how that Ahs Gardner is doing now." After the death row prisoner and Lucia shook hands and left, Lucia sighed and said.
"What, you know him?" Ahs asked after hearing this.
"I know him, but I don't know him. I have read the books he wrote. They are all very good books, such as "The Dragon Was Here" and "The Voice". I like reading them all."
"What a pity, those are all copied." Ahs thought to himself, but of course, he couldn't say this.
"...I like to watch it too." In the end, Ahes could only respond.
"Really? That's great. I rarely meet book friends who like to read his books."
"Is it so rare? I think the sales volume is not bad."
"After all, his books are all innovative things, which are certainly difficult to accept for some people whose minds are still stuck in the past."
"My thoughts are stuck in the past. Do you want to say that all your book friends are old men?"
"Uh-huh, there's also the old lady."
While he was talking, the train had already stopped at Kokchi.
The temperature in Kokchi was very high. As soon as I got off the bus, I felt unbearably hot.
"Let's go get something to eat, I'm hungry." Lucia said after getting off the car, carrying their luggage.
"Do you still want to take me to be beaten? Don't even think about it. Give me your luggage!" Ahs said and was about to snatch his luggage.
"Ah, don't, just trust me one more time. It was really just an accident that time. I already scolded Bert!" Lucia said, tightly grabbing Ahes' luggage.
"It's no use pretending to be pitiful, give it quickly..." Just as he was about to grab it, Ahes suddenly found that many people around him were looking at him.
The current situation is like a grown man snatching a child's luggage.
"...Damn it." The most taboo thing about attracting attention now is that Ahes had no choice but to let go of Lucia first.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Stop pretending to cry, it's me who should cry!"
"I really didn't fool you. Come with me. This time it's just a normal restaurant." Lucia grabbed the corner of Ahes' clothes and said.
"Okay, you lead the way." Looking at Lucia, Ahes finally softened his heart.
Lucia smiled and walked at the front carrying their luggage.
After walking for a while and riding in a carriage for nearly half an hour, Lucia took Ahes to the central area of Kokchi.
"This is it." Lucia said, pointing to a building several times larger than Ahes's mansion.
"Do you want me to take you here for dinner?"
"uh-huh."
"Do I look like I'm rich?"
"No, you don't need to spend money, just come with me."
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"
"No, no!"
Ahes frowned, and could only bite the bullet and push open the door with Lucia and go in.
"I'm sorry, you two, we are closed today." Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered, a maid came over and said.
"Business suspension? Are you kidding? We came all the way here, and I'm a VIP user." Lucia took out a golden card from her pocket and said.
It seems that Lucia didn't lie to herself this time.
"I'm very sorry, today we have to hold the annual food selection." The maid bowed and said, "There are still ten hours left, the selection is about to begin, and one of the contestants can't come because of something at home. We really
I'm very busy, I hope you understand."
"Food selection?" Ahes stepped forward after hearing the word and asked, "Can I ask what the prize will be if you win?"
"It's a high-level book called [Book of Noble Phantasms]. I don't know its specific function," the maid said.
"A high-end contract?" Ahes thought for a while, and what he lacked most now was a strong contract.
"You just said that there is a player who can't come because of something, right?" Ahs said, "Can I participate?"
"Well, of course you can, but running for election is very difficult. Are you sure..."
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what you need to register." Ahes interrupted the maid and said.
"Just fill out this form." The maid said, taking out a registration form from her pocket, which was nothing more than filling in her name and address.
Ahes wrote the name Karthus Gardner on it, filled in a random place in Helworth, and returned the registration form to the maid.
"Next, just prepare the food and be here at seven o'clock in the evening." The maid glanced at the clock and said, "If you are late, you will automatically be deemed to have given up."
"I understand." Ahs nodded and left the venue with Lucia.
"Can you cook?" Lucia asked after coming out. "It seems like you are the kind of person who only eats ready-made food."
"Then you really misunderstood."
"Even if you know how to cook a little, it is very difficult to win the food competition." Lucia still said, "The people participating in the food competition are all rich people, and they use the best beef and mutton, even the ingredients.
We started preparing a few months ago, and now we only have less than ten hours, how are you going to beat them?"
"Ten hours is too much, only three hours is enough." Ahes glanced at his watch and said, "If you want to help me, go find the ingredients I mentioned."
"Okay, what do you want."
"Ginger, cinnamon, rock sugar, bay leaves, star anise, jujube, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, green onions and garlic." Ahes thought for a while and said.
"Are you sure, there are many medicinal materials in here?"
"Of course I'm sure. Go buy it now. When you're done, come back here and wait for me." Ahs said.
Lucia hesitated for a moment, then picked up her suitcase and left.
What Ahers wants to cook is none other than braised pork.
This is the most delicious food I can make, and it’s something that doesn’t exist in this world.
"For myself, I just need to buy some pork belly and a casserole." Ahs thought and walked towards the market.
Shortly after Ahes and Lucia separated, a black figure separated from the shadows on the ground.
"Does the guy who uses the Book of Raven actually have a companion?" A phantom voice appeared and said.
"In short, the two of them are also people on the ship. The raven doesn't care about it for now. Her companion must confirm it first." The hoarse voice said, and a black shadow on the ground quickly struck in the direction of Ahes.
