Rothgarr was already eyeing Dubian, but he didn't want to possess him immediately.

The reason lay in Anna.

Although he now knew that Anna had concealed a lot from him, he did not know exactly how much she had concealed.

Some things that puzzled him in the past seemed to have an explanation.

From the very beginning, Anna had no interest in those children of the City Lord, the mage, and the Holy Son in the earl's mansion. She seemed to be playing "them".

However, she didn't get much benefit from doing so. When he was still Ulysses, he had given her a bag of gold coins, but she did not accept them.

She didn’t want fame and fortune, and here she was now, on the run with a mage...

It turned out that what she wanted was to become a mage.

Rothgarr remembered that Anna once told him, when he was still Ulysses, that she wanted to be his student. At that time, he thought she said this just to get closer to him. Now it seemed that the reverse was true. She approached him, in fact, to become a mage.

Including learning literacy later on, those were all preparations made to become a mage.

Rothgarr didn't expect that a commoner woman would start planning to become a mage when she was illiterate. She was indeed a very ambitious woman, but it was not the same as the "ambition" he thought she had in the past.

In the beginning when she deliberately fell in front of Parrish's carriage, it was to get close to the mage, so that she herself could become a mage.

It was no wonder that his previous methods were useless; only when it came to literacy did she seem to care.

The one called Dubian was probably someone she met later on. Listening to their conversation, she had helped the injured him, so he taught her spells to repay her.

Rothgarr was quietly hiding in the dark with unprecedented patience, observing Anna and Dubian.

Anna smelled the scent of meat and said, "Isn't this delicious!"

But then she thought about it; roasted human meat also had this scent. As long as it was meat, the aromatic compounds produced by the burning of fat would always have a similar scent.

Dubian also looked expectantly at the demonic lamb meat on the fire. There were only two of them, so in the end only the upper brain and tenderloin were cut off, and the rest were discarded. Fearing that the remaining meat would cause other demonic creatures to come here, the two deliberately moved a little farther away before starting to set up barbecues.

The two picked up branches to skewer the meat on. Anna then set fire to the meat, and kept turning and roasting. Dubian had the experience of sleeping out in the wild. Although he had never eaten demonic creatures, he had eaten ordinary meat. He also brought coarse salt and spices with him. Before roasting, he marinated it with salt and sprinkled with spices when it was half roasted. Being cooked over the fire like this, the fragrance suddenly diffused into the air.

In order to grill the meat flavorfully, it was cut into small pieces. Anna picked up a skewer that was almost grilled, blew on it to cool it off, tear off a small piece of the demonic lamb meat, and put it in her mouth to chew slowly.

Anna was a little wary at first, ready to throw it up at any time if it didn’t taste good, but after chewing for a while, her eyes brightened and she said to Dubian, “It tastes great! But it’s not like roast lamb, it’s more like roast beef. My skewer is ready, eat this first!"

Anna passed the kebab in her hand to Dubian. Dubian took it, slid a piece of it into his mouth, and showed the same expression as Anna: "It tastes really good."

"Right? I think it must be because the first person who ate the meat of demonic creatures was not good at cooking, so it was particularly unpalatable." Anna put more raw meat skewers on the fire, smelling the aroma of the barbecue, intoxicated.

Dubian smiled and nodded. He also thought it might be a problem with the type of demonic creature. Maybe this kind of demonic lamb meat was delicious by nature. However, seeing Anna look so happy, he didn't say this. He just followed up with a compliment: "Anna, your barbecuing skills are really good."

Who didn’t like to listen to compliments?

Anna smiled and said, "Then I can cook more. In the future, we won’t always encounter such a foolish demonic sheep like this one."

Rothgarr sneered at Dubian's overwhelmingly flattering. Of course, how could he give them barbecue again!

After Anna and Dubian ate happily, they put out the fire, buried it with soil, and continued on their way.

Because of the devil sheep, the two were farther away from the line of life and death.

Dubian briefly explained the next plan: "This place is not far enough from Blue Rock City. We won’t stay in the village for these next few days. When we are far away, we can find a village to live in at night."

In fact, they shouldn’t have been doing barbecues just now, as it was easy to spot, but he saw how excited Anna was. Plus, this place was close to the line of life and death, and he wasn’t incapable of fighting, so he didn’t say anything, just followed along with her idea to set up a barbecue.

Of course Anna had no objection; she just quietly counted her money.
