It was getting late after Professor Sprout left. Jon found Joanne's phone number under the phone in the living room and found the number of a Chinese restaurant.
He ordered fried rice, dumplings, mapo tofu, and spicy fried chicken.
Although he knew that the food in a foreign Chinese restaurant was not as good as the food made by a real Chinese chef, he had not eaten Chinese food in a long time.
If it really didn't work, he looked at the kitchen. There seemed to be some ingredients here. He would just fry it again.
Who didn't know how to cook?
While waiting for the takeout to arrive, he rummaged around in the kitchen and found some things that could be made.
He didn't know how to cook, but he knew how to cook scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
He took a few tomatoes, cracked a few eggs, and found seasonings in the seasoning area. Jon was ready to show off his cooking skills.
Indeed, it had been a long time since he had cooked in the kitchen, and there were no kitchenware suitable for him in England. Holding the wooden spoon and the pan, Chown thought — it was for himself anyway, so it didn't matter if it tasted bad.
Joanne said that the Chinese restaurant nearby was very delicious in the note she left for him. However, Joanne was a traditional British person, so it took a little bit of understanding for her to say it was delicious.
What if it was really delicious? Jon certainly hoped so. However, for the remaining 99.99%, he still felt that he should try it first.
After all, he had only eaten Chinese food once in a long time.
The food was delivered quickly. Jon was a little surprised when he took the food from the delivery man who looked Asian but was a little tanned.
No wonder Joanne reminded him to order less food. It was indeed a lot.
He glanced at it roughly. There were about 30 dumplings and a big box of rice. There was less tofu, and the spicy fried chicken looked like fried chicken with sugar.
However, it smelled good.
He closed the door and went back to the restaurant. He took out the scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the pot, opened the takeaway box, and tasted it.
The taste was not bad. There was no need for Jon to make another "miracle."
Although it was not certain if it could be done.
Everything was ready. He took out a bowl from the cupboard and was ready to eat.
However, as soon as he sat down, he found that there was another person in front of him.
Of course, his eyes were not playing tricks on him.
It was a familiar figure. That night, he appeared in Jon's bedroom and was about to take the box.
"May I know your name?"
Jon was very calm. He did not feel any malice from the person in front of him. He even felt a trace of pity from the person's face behind the black robe.
It was as if he was looking at a dead person.
This gaze made Jon very uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to speak and broke the silence between the two.
"There's no need to say his name. I originally wanted to save you, but it seems that there's no need for that now."
The Man in black's voice was hoarse, but his English was very fluent.
"Save me? That's a strange way of saying it. If it's convenient, can you tell me more? "
Jon raised his hand and did not hide the glove on his hand. His other hand was on his chest, on the ring that was temporarily hung on a chain.
This was thanks to the day when he opened the box. In order to prevent the other magic items in the ring from affecting his use of Poseidon, he put the ring in his pocket. Fortunately, he did that. Otherwise, his ring would have been blocked by his glove and his wand would not be able to use it.
"Flying Bowl and Chopsticks."
He summoned a bowl from the cupboard with a flying spell. Together with the chopsticks and knife on the table, he put it in front of the Man in black.
"If you don't mind, we can talk while eating. Anyway, I ordered too much for dinner today."
The Man in black was indifferent to his kindness. He still looked at Jon with a strange gaze.
"I'm surprised that you have such a good attitude. Perhaps, you really don't know what dangerous thing you are wearing?"
Of course, the topic that the man in black was talking about was something that Chown was very interested in. However, Chown clearly knew that when someone talked about something that interested him in front of him, he couldn't show too much interest in this matter.
"You mean this?"
He raised his hand and waved it, waving the glove on his hand, showing a look of indifference.
"I know this thing is not very common, but it is now on my hand. What can I do?
And I know that you are very interested in this thing. You sneaked into my room to steal it, right?
Now, is your teacher going to take it away? With all due respect, I can't take it away. If you can, I welcome you to take it away. "
The Man in black looked at him silently for a while and then shook his head.
"I don't want to take it away, nor do I have any other meaning. I just want to remind you, young man. You are involved in something that you should not be involved in. This matter will bring you a fatal disaster."
His pitiful gaze suddenly disappeared. "The dead god is about to return. At that time, he will give the world a punishment. You taking it means that you have to bear this punishment."
Jon raised his eyebrows and pretended to not care. He wanted to ask for more information.
"About this so-called punishment? Can you tell me more about it? If you can't say it, can you shut up and let me eat? "
"I admire your courage. Young man, even if you tried to attack me, I still want to warn you. Before the punishment comes, you better be prepared to protect yourself. Otherwise, what awaits you is only death."
Jon picked up a dumpling, dipped it in soy sauce, and put it in his mouth. He chewed with relish, as if he did not care about this person's words at all.
"The punishment you are talking about, is it very strong? Also, you said very soon. How soon is it? Tomorrow? "
The Man in black did not say anything else and only gave a sinister smile.
"When the punishment will come, you will feel it. I don't need to remind you now. My words end here. You are on your own."
After saying this, his figure suddenly disappeared from the room. Regarding his inexplicable appearance and inexplicable departure, Jon became alert.
"The return of the gods?"
