Chapter 445 Resolve
Bartoli carefully divided each of the dishes in front of both Abel and Elite Wizard Lorenzo. They normally wouldn’t bother to do this, but since there was a guest, it was best to dine according to the tradition of nobles.
Although the official Chinese way of dining was eating the same dish together to show a sense of closeness, Abel was not planning to bring this tradition to the Holy Continent. Their noble way of dining was way too different, so he didn’t even want to bring chopsticks.
If someone had asked Wizard Lorenzo what was his favorite food before this, he would’ve given out a big list. When he was young, he had traveled to countless cities and tried countless amazing cuisines, many of which he still remembered clearly.
However, Wizard Lorenzo would point at the 5 dishes on the table. It was the best thing he had ever tried–everything else was basically rubbish compared to this.
A weird emotion arose from within as he put a spoonful of steamed egg in his mouth. He was deeply touched to the core. Although this was not enough for him to level up, he still felt like he had just gained a deeper grasp on his current ability.
Elite Wizard Lorenzo’s eyes began to sparkle. Grand Master Abel’s dishes could really help a wizard level up. Although a few elite Alchemists had sworn that the food in the Forgotten Land didn’t have any ingredients on paper that could assist level up, Wizard Lorenzo was sure that leveling up didn’t always need to go through an increase in the power of the will. A deeply touching feeling was equally as important.
However, he didn’t know the rabbit essence Bartoli had used this time was pure. It was a lot more concentrated than the ones in the Forgotten Land since those ones were watered down.
After the first bite, Wizard Lorenzo had remained completely silent. Every single dish had given him a new sensation. Especially as a wizard with a high power of the will, his taste buds were a lot more sensitive.
If Abel knew what was going through Wizard Lorenzo’s head, he would have told him that he thought too much. The thing that was really beneficial to a wizard leveling up was his red wine. Those things could basically slowly recover the physical body of Wizards and reignite their inner ability, but of course, Abel would only save them for his friends and family.
The touching feeling those rabbit essence gave out was only the by-product of its irresistible taste. At the end of the day, Abel still cared about the taste of his food the most; it was the taste of home.
After Wizard Lorenzo finished his food, picked up a glass of juice with Abel, and began to speak “Grand Master Abel, thank you so much for inviting me to eat with you. It was truly an extraordinary experience!”
Abel was not an elite wizard, so he didn’t know how hard it was to level up. But no matter what, Wizard Lorenzo still felt he took away a lot from this experience, and he was extremely thankful.
“Wizard Lorenzo, it is always a pleasure to share things with friends!” Said Abel with a smile.
“Grand Master Abel, it is my pleasure to be your friend!” Elite Wizard Lorenzo replied with a smile as well.
With this good start, Wizard Lorenzo was now a lot more confident with the conversation that followed.
“Grand Master Abel, The reason I am here today is to ask you if you can open the Forgotten Land again. Since you have closed the restaurant, a large number of wizards are now gathering outside of the court!” Asked Wizard Lorenzo with a sincere tone.
“The Forgotten Land? My steward only opened the shop for fun to spend her time. But since it has angered the powerful Food and Beverage Alliance, I had already scolded her and told her to close the shop. It was just a little game anyway.” Said Abel with a careless smile, and gazed at Bartoli behind him.
Bartoli didn’t say anything. She only bowed and put a guilty look on her face.
Wizard Lorenzo was not expecting Abel to say something like this, so he didn’t know what to say all of a sudden. It seemed like it was not easy to talk to Abel, after all.
Still, since Wizard Lorenzo wanted to resolve this quickly, he just asked, “Grand Master Abel, what demands do you have? As you know, the Food and Beverage Alliance had already been destroyed–other than a few small potatoes.”
“Wizard Lorenzo, you know me. I prefer peace over conflict, so I won’t open the Forgotten Land again without a clear response from the force behind the Food and Beverage Alliance!” Said Abel with the same smiling face, but his force sounded extremely certain.
“Okay, Grand Master Abel. I will now contact the force behind the Food and Beverage Alliance and quickly give you a response!” Said Wizard Lorenzo, helplessly standing up.
Although Wizard Lorenzo had gained quite a lot from the food, he still hadn’t made any progress business-wise. It seemed like he would have a lot of trouble in front of him to get the Forgotten Land to open again.
In the lounge room of the court, Intermediate Wizard Arche felt extremely unsettled as he stared at the huge group outside. He was an agent of the Kingdom of St Pierrt in the Kingdom of St Ellis. Although the Food and Beverage Alliance played a small role in the overall profit of their Kingdom, he had still given them some leeway since their headmaster had given him some benefits.
The entire Food and Beverage Alliance would be whipped out along with their headmaster in one night, and this problem was resolved without going through him.
He could fully smell the fishiness, but he couldn’t do anything about it. They probably would not offend the 4 elite wizards, so he might be the one taking up all the responsibility.
Originally, he didn’t really want to offend anyone for just a little bit of benefit from the Food and Beverage Alliance, and after the incident, he was still hoping their next headmaster could repay him.
But ever since this morning, a large number of Wizards began to gather outside of the court, demanding the supporting force behind the Food and Beverage Alliance. As time went on, their number began to grow, and now, it had reached a scary number.
As long as a single wizard outside lost control, even an elite wizard might not be able to escape, let alone an intermediate wizard like him.
The worst thing about this was when the other workers in the court realized this had to do with the Food and Beverage Alliance; they all pushed the blame upon him. Everyone in the court knew the Food and Beverage Alliance was the Kingdom of St Pierrt’s assets. He was their agent, so of course, he was the perfect man to be held responsible.
Suddenly, he heard Wizard Lorenzo from behind him, “Wizard Arche, I’m looking for you!” He had directly used the elite teleportation authority to teleport into the court.
He had just dwelled for some time in Abel’s place. Actually, it was more like enjoyment than dwelling, but it still cost him some time. Therefore, he had directly teleported next to Wizard Arche.
Normally he would never do this, but he had no choice since he didn’t have much time.
“Mr. Lorenzo, what brought you here?” Wizard Arche quickly bowed
Normally, if an elite wizard wanted to see someone, they would tell them to come to their Wizard Union; it was extremely rare that they would go see the person by themselves.
“If I didn’t come, we might be in big trouble!” Said Wizard Lorenzo, pointing at the huge group outside.
“Mr. Lorenzo, I am stressing out about this as well!” Said Wizard Arche helplessly.
“I have a solution, but it might just cost you and Kingdom of St Pierrt a little bit of benefits!” Said Wizard Lorenzo in a monotone voice.
“Mr. Lorenzo, we can discuss anything as long as we can resolve this!” Wizard Arche quickly bowed again.
If he didn’t deal with this situation probably and chaos broke out outside, he would be the only one responsible. Most likely, he would lose his status as an agent and get kicked out of Linate City.
