Pardofelis naturally didn't understand, at least she didn't see a word from these textbooks, but Ryan didn't mean to fool her.
When leaving Mu Continent, except for minor adjustments due to the current situation, the big framework had been prepared long ago. How to get out, how to hide, how to control the changes in the world while drinking afternoon tea thousands of miles away like a chess player, and even weapons and props have several ways to use.
For example, the appearance of the Herrscher made it impossible for Sundown Alley to conduct an in-depth investigation, which naturally covered up the traces of Aponia and others, and it was impossible to issue a large-scale wanted notice. For example, the optical simulator and the mirage system, pretending to be a pseudo-herrscher was just part of the plan. At that time, Ryan considered the issue of hiding his identity.
The world is so big that it is impossible to conduct a carpet-style investigation of the real enemy. If Ryan wants, he can hide until the end of the world.
"Do you want to say that human wisdom can change fate?" Aponia said hesitantly. As far as she knows, fate is very stubborn, and this man can do it, which is not as simple as wisdom.
Ryan probably guessed what Aponia was thinking. They had talked about this before, but because the latter's ability was not strong enough and it was not very useful, he was not sure.
"This brings up an ancient saying in Shenzhou..."
"I know, it is a man who knows the times who is a hero!" Pardo quickly interrupted.
Ryan tapped her on the forehead and corrected her unhappily: "It is man who conquers nature."
"Ah, did I remember it wrong?"
"You must have remembered it wrong. Okay, finish writing this line of words and come out to eat. There will be your favorite food tonight."
Ryan turned and left. He still had to cook. When the footsteps faded away, Pardo whispered.
"Sister Nia, can you really be as good as the Master by reading these books?"
I'm afraid not. He has more than wisdom, and your personality is not good enough to be a wise man.
Aponia came to a conclusion in her heart, but she was very considerate of others, so she just smiled and replied: "It should be possible, but it takes time and effort."
"Hehe, I was motivated instantly. Going on vacation under such a tight situation is really like a dream."
Looking at the girl who was studying hard, Aponia was very confused. She didn't understand Ryan's intention because Pardofelis didn't show any value that could be used. She was weak in combat and timid, and it didn't look like she would suddenly become a wise man and make suggestions.
So, what did he do with Pardofelis?
Aponia felt that Ryan was like being in a thick fog, and she couldn't understand many things, but she looked at the girl who yawned and persisted. At least, this feeling was very comfortable, and there was no panic at all.
For Aponia's doubts, Ryan actually didn't have an accurate answer. Perhaps the feelings have surpassed the value, and it would be more reassuring to bring this little cat with him.
He tied on his apron, glanced at Kalpas who was squatting against the wall, and forced back his smile.
'I was influenced by Elysia and the others, I think it's better to be lively?'
Ryan was not sure. He was a lone wolf in the past, and he only wanted to complete the task faster and more efficiently. He didn't expect that he would be much lazier now.
No, anyway, he had to wait for the Fire Moth to reveal its flaws. He might as well live a leisurely life.
Subconsciously finding a reason for himself, Ryan turned on the gas stove with a 'pop' sound, heated the pan, put in the chicken breast, and fried it until golden, then reached out and cut the meat into pieces.
Turn to low heat, add butter, leave the heat and melt the butter with the residual heat, add flour and stir-fry until it becomes ghee-like, then add milk, stir quickly to make a paste, and finally pour in a pot of broth.
The house was immediately filled with a sweet and greasy milky aroma, which drifted outside through the open window. Even if the intelligence agent lived across the street, he would never have thought that there was a house of "human traitors" here.
Shouldn't such a person hide in a dark corner to plot a conspiracy? How could he cook dinner openly?
Ryan was used to this kind of life. He added vegetables and meat, stirred gently with a spoon, and turned his head slightly to see Kalpas standing beside him at some point.
"What's the matter?"
"Well, I always feel that you don't look like you are seriously carrying out any plan." Kalpas stroked his chin with a suspicious look.
"Who told me that the plan has to be fought every day? Isn't this leisurely life good?"
"No! Waste of time!"
Then you ate three bowls of rice yesterday, so I could only drink soup.
Ryan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. After so many days, he could see that Kalpas was not only hard-handed, but also hard-mouthed.
According to what Pardo told him quietly, Kalpas cleaned up the house yesterday afternoon when he went out to do something. It was a pity that he didn't see him wearing an apron and mopping the floor, otherwise he would have taken a picture.
"We'll have cream soup tonight, dip it in bread."
"Just one dish?"
You just said it was not good, but now you complain about only one dish, right?
"It's late today, and I don't have time to make a second one. Do you want to try it? I heard from Aponia that you are also good at cooking."
That woman is talking nonsense, and why should I do it?
Kalpas opened his mouth to refuse, but when he saw Ryan's slightly provocative eyes, his eyes became sharp.
"Are you questioning me?"
"No, I just thought that since we can't fight with real swords and guns now, we can also use other methods to decide the winner. The so-called fighting spirit does not necessarily have to be a fistfight."
If someone else said this, Kalpas would have slapped him in the face, but Ryan said it, and he subconsciously thought for a moment.
"Boring, I don't have time to play house games with you."
He turned and left, but came back after a few steps, and unknowingly changed into an apron with a bear pattern.
"But since you have challenged me, I have to accept the challenge!"
What a tough man, but can you be a little more stubborn? I am fighting a dead duck, right?
Ryan was dumbfounded, and that look made Kalpas roar: "What are you looking at? Do you really think I will lose to you even in such a crap thing!?"
No, I just think the bear pattern on your chest is cute.
Ryan didn't disturb his interest, and quickly made a "please" gesture, and then he saw that Kalpas was not bragging, he was really good at it.
He was holding the kitchen knife, and after the "swish swish" blade light, the carrots, celery, and green peppers were all broken into pieces of the same size. The leftover rice from last night was put into the pot, and with the skillful flipping of the pot, the rice was cut into pieces.
"Very professional."
"I never brag!"
Kalpas snorted disdainfully, turned the pot over and put it on the plate, and ended the battle with a skilled ladle.
He stood straight, holding the pot and ladle, like a swordsman, and glanced at Aponia and Pardofelis who had just walked out of the house, and shook his wrist.
Swish——
Cream soup and fried rice flew to the table without spilling a bit.
Isn't it necessary to be so handsome just to cook a meal?
Ryan was a little speechless. He had to admit that although Kalpas was a little irritable, his charm as a man was still very strong, so he coughed lightly:
"You two can be the judges and see which one is better, my cream soup or Kalpas soy sauce fried rice."
"Uh, can I choose to abstain?" Pardofelis raised her hand weakly, clearly feeling the danger.
"You can try." Kalpas folded his arms and stared at her coldly.
Soon, Pardo sat at the table, stretched out her shaking hands, tasted it back and forth, first showing a look of surprise, then tangled.
Both are delicious, one is sweet and greasy, the other is salty and sweet, anyway, much better than canned food.
Pardo, who has not eaten a few normal meals since she was a child, has never been treated like this. It's good that she didn't burst her clothes on the spot, but the heavy fighting spirit in the room made it impossible for her to enjoy it properly.
"Brother Kalpas, can we tie it?"
"No, there is no such thing as a tie in a battle, only life and death!"
"Okay, then you win." Pardo gave him a thumbs up without hesitation, showing a strong desire to survive.
What a traitor, you are a fool on the spot, right? Forget it, I just wanted Kalpas to vent a little.
Ryan rolled his eyes, silently wrote down the account, and then turned to look at Aponia.
There was also some surprise in her eyes, but she was much more stable than Pardofelis. She just held her head up and looked back and forth at Kalpas and Ryan with compassionate eyes.
"Aponia, I told you not to look at me like that. Even if I lose, I don't need any pity!" Kalpas seemed to hate this compassionate look and simply clenched his fists.
"No, Kalpas, you won."
"I won?"
"Yes, you are indeed better than Ryan in this aspect, even if the gap is small enough to be ignored, but you did win." Aponia spoke very slowly, and Kalpas' eyes showed some joy.
Fighting and killing are for winning. Now there is no way to kill, so I have to use other things instead, but the concept of "winning" will not change.
"I won." He turned his head and looked at Ryan. In fact, he was still quite afraid of this man in his heart, so he was particularly hungry for victory.
"Well, congratulations, there are not many people who beat me in this aspect." Ryan nodded solemnly, and roughly understood how to suppress Kalpas' madness.
It's not very useful to persuade him with emotion and reason. I have to keep feeding him carrots to gradually satisfy his fighting spirit, and I will also fight back a little.
"Then let's do this from now on. I will buy vegetables and you will cook."
"Why!?"
"This is the responsibility and honor of the winner."
"Responsibility and honor? I don't need such boring things." Kalpas sat down silently, tore off the bread and mixed it with thick soup, and stuffed it into his mouth in big mouthfuls, "And it has been agreed that these boring things are your job."
"But I seem to have some interest, so I'll see what I feel like tomorrow."
Ryan was about to scold this man for being shameless, but when he heard the last sentence, his eyes gradually became gentle, and he pulled out a stool and enjoyed dinner under the soft light.
One of the guidelines for getting along with Kalpas is to stroke his hair in the right way.
