'Who the hell am I supposed to pray to?'
While thinking that, Adryan quickly flashed through his mind Robert's gaze.
'Goddess of the Night no thanks, Lord of the Storm no way...God of Steam and Machinery..
...Sherlock I'm going to take a page from your book, I hope you don't mind' While he was thinking about whom to choose, a certain peeping detective appeared in his head, and with a small smile, he closed his eyes, and began to pray.
"Great God of Steam and Machinery.
Embodiment of essence.
Guardian of the Craftsmen.
Brilliance of Technology.
I pray for your help.
I pray for your loving grace.
I pray for you to bless this food"
After saying that, he drew a triangular Sacred Emblem on his chest, all this in front of Robert's gaze, who waited for him to finish praying.
Having done all that, Adryan opened his eyes and saw that Robert was looking at him with a small smile.
"Also thanks to you for cooking Robert"
"It's my pleasure, Adrian, would you like something to drink with your meal?"
"Water please"
Nodding to the redhead, Robert went to the kitchen and returned with two glasses, one with wine and one with water, placing the glass of water next to Adryan's plate, he brought his glass of wine to his mouth and took a small sip.
The redhead grabbed his spoon and dipped it into the soup and brought it to his mouth, it tasted delicious.
He could feel that the main ingredient was the carrot but he could still feel the onion, and parsley along with a bit of sweet flavor, the meat was soft and juicy, it looked like he had boiled it before putting it in the soup to absorb the juices from the soup.
"How are you? Is it to your liking?"
"This is delicious Robert, you have a talent for cooking"
"Thank you very much, Adryan, I was a little nervous because I didn't know if you were going to like it"
"Seriously Robert you should be a chef this soup is delicious"
Seeing Adryan's expression and listening to his words, Robert could only laugh.
And seeing how he laughed, Adryan couldn't help but laugh a little too.
"To be honest, Adryan, when I get a bit more oIder I would love to be a chef"
"You're going to have to let me visit your restaurant then because this soup is from another world"
Adryan was not exaggerating when he said that Robert had the talent to be a chef, it is very likely that if he worked in a restaurant he would earn much more money than he earns working at the Club as a secretary.
It was a tragedy that someone with that talent was wasting that same talent working as a secretary instead of going to a restaurant to start working.
"Adryan what do you do apart from going to the club?"
"I think I already told you this but I'm studying ancient languages"
"That's interesting but why?"
"I've always had a fascination for languages so I decided to learn the ancient languages to keep myself busy."
This was true of Adryan himself, even in his life as Joa he knew how to speak 4 languages, and because many of his favorite books were in Chinese he was also studying it but couldn't finish it because of what happened, that would be waking up here.
Besides, as a future architect, it was a requirement to be able to speak several languages to be able to communicate with the workers and the people who hire you.
Leaving that aside, he also wanted to know more about Robert.
"Tell me Robert I always see that you spend your time reading the books in the club being your favorite Stormwind Mountain Villa"
At the question, the blonde scratched his cheek a bit uncomfortable while he drank another bit of wine.
"I have a lot of free time at the club and I'm always bored so I recently started taking books to read and the writer Fors is my favorite"
'I thought so' the redhead thought with a smile as he continued eating.
"Tell me something else Robert, do you live alone?"
"I live alone, my family lives in Tingen at the moment and I came here for other reasons"
Robert's response was calm and simple so Adryan just nodded as he drank some water.
So they continued with the game of questions until they finished their dinner and Adryan had to go, now Robert was saying goodbye to the redhead outside his house while the red moon was in the sky.
"Thank you very much for dinner Robert and I hope you enjoy the apple pie"
"Thank you for coming Adryan, be careful when you return home" a smile was on the face of Robert as he looked at Adryan.
Nodding at the blond's words, Adryan put on his hat and began to walk a bit before taking a public carriage and calmly heading home.
Seeing how the redhead's carriage drove away, Robert's happy expression changed to a cold and indifferent one as he closed the door of his house.
He calmly went up to the top floor of his house until he reached a study and entered after using some keys.
The study was completely normal, there was nothing strange, but Robert went to a shelf on the wall and moved some books, it moved, revealing a hidden room.
Inside this was a statue of a beautiful woman. Her hair is very long to her ankles and every single strand is as thick as a venomous snake. On the tip of strands, there were eyes.
Robert knelt before this statue and began to pray in a low voice.
Beside him was the familiar blue-covered book titled Stormwind Mountain Villa but there was something wrong with it.
The writings of the book were not the original story of the book but described a different one....
'At the beginning of creation, The Creator had only one true inheritor.....
The Primordial Demoness was born from chaos.....'
