"What can I do for you?" Bartoli replied with a wizard's salute.
"I am your neighbor. My name is Alberta. I want to ask if you are cooking something?" Wizard Alberta glanced at the few dishes on the table as he spoke. His eyes were filled with longing.
"Wizard Alberta, what do you want?" Bartoli was confused by the expression on the old wizard's face. She didn't know what he meant.
"Can I go in and talk?" Adept Alberta reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the dishes in the main house and asked in a very sincere voice.
"I am only a butler. I have no right to let you in. Please tell me what you want, or I will not let you in." Bartoli was a little annoyed by Wizard Alberta's attitude. Her master was in a good mood today, and she was about to show her master her recent results. Wizard Alberta in front of her had interrupted her.
Wizard Alberta was shocked. An intermediate wizard as a butler. Who was this important person? He quickly lowered his voice and said, "I am sorry. I live next door to you, and I have been smelling the food in your yard every day. It has made it hard for me to eat anything else. I really couldn't help it today, so I came to take a look!"
"I am learning cooking from my master. If you don't have anything else, please go back!" Bartoli didn't expect this, so she made a "please" gesture and said.
"Um … Can you sell me some food? I can buy it with credit points!" Wizard Alberta begged.
Just when Bartoli was about to reply, Abel's voice came from the house, "Bartoli, give him a dish and let him go!"
"Yes, master!" Bartoli replied and walked back into the house. She picked out the simplest steamed egg, put it in a box, and walked out with it in her hand.
"Here!" Bartoli said unwillingly. She had spent many days experimenting with these dishes. She didn't expect her master to give them away before he even tasted them.
"Thank you! How many credit points should I pay? " Adept Alberta happily took the box and sniffed at the aroma of the food inside. He then took out his identity card and asked, "What is it?"
"Alright, you can leave now!" Bartoli no longer cared about Wizard Alberta. Instead, she directly closed the door.
Wizard Alberta was stunned at the door. He felt a little helpless as he looked at the closed door. As an intermediate wizard, he was the most important fighting force in their adventure organization. Even in Liante City, he was a group of people with a lot of status. However, when he thought about what he had just done, it was already good enough that he wasn't directly kicked out. From the fact that they had an intermediate wizard as a steward, he knew that the man who had just spoken must be very noble.
However, when he saw the food box in his hand, his mood immediately improved. He had just finished his recent mission, and he had suffered some injuries during the mission. During this period of time, he had been resting. Who would have thought that a few days ago, he would intermittently smell the aroma of food. This aroma was very tempting.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to this aroma. Although it was too good to smell, it was coming from his neighbor's house. That house had been closed for a few decades, so there should be a new owner. He didn't know who that person was.
However, this aroma slowly began to affect his taste for food. The spiritual beast meat and high-quality food that he had exchanged with credit points felt like he was chewing wax.
This feeling made him unable to eat until he was full. After a few days, he began to feel that something was wrong. His body was injured and he hadn't eaten properly. Not only did his injuries not get better, they were even getting worse.
At first, he thought that the aroma was poisonous. However, no matter how he used his power of the will or other methods, he couldn't find any poison. He also tried to take an antidote, but it didn't have any effect. As long as he ate, he would feel that it was completely tasteless.
In a situation where there was no other way, he could only shamelessly go to his neighbor's house. He wanted to spend some credit points to buy some food to solve his problem. At the same time, he also wanted to see what was causing him to lose his appetite.
Wizard Alberta carefully carried the food box back to his yard. He went into his house and placed the box on the table. He then opened the box and took out the steamed egg inside.
As soon as he opened the box, a strong aroma of food rushed towards his face. It was almost unbearable. However, he still suppressed the desire in his heart and placed the wooden bowl with the steamed egg on the table. He didn't dig in immediately.
He took out a magic circle board. This magic circle board was specially made for living in the wild. It could tell if the food was poisonous or not.
Carefully, he picked out a piece of the steamed egg. When he started to pick out a bigger piece, he was a little reluctant, so he took out a little bit more and put it on the magic circle board. Waves of white light flashed, but the center of the magic circle board didn't change at all.
"It's not poisonous!" Wizard Alberta let out a breath of relief. If it wasn't poisonous, then it was probably because the food was too delicious. Just the aroma alone made him feel that other food was tasteless.
"Now, let's move on to the second step. Is the food really good?"
Wizard Alberta picked up the spoon with a serious and holy expression. He took a small piece of the steamed egg and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, an unimaginable taste rushed into his mouth and nose. Then, he felt as if his soul was flying. He was sure that he had never tasted anything so delicious since he was born more than three hundred years ago. No words could describe how he felt at this moment.
"Dong dong dong dong dong!" Suddenly, a series of hurried knocks on the door interrupted his delicacy.
"Who is it? So annoying!" Wizard Alberta reluctantly put down the spoon. It seemed like he had forgotten that he was also the neighbor who disturbed him during lunch time.
"Alberta, are your injuries still not healed?" Wizard Alberta opened the door. A middle-aged Knight in armor was standing in front of the door. He asked loudly as soon as he saw Wizard Alberta.
Wizard Alberta was not in a good condition at the moment, especially those who were close to him. They could tell at a glance that his injuries were getting worse.
It was the captain of the War Hammer team that Wizard Alberta was in, Great Knight Captain Lange. Wizard Alberta quickly led him into the door.
Knight Captain Lange was very close to Wizard Alberta. They were friends who had gone through life and death together. Therefore, he did not hesitate as soon as he entered the room. The first thing he saw was the wooden bowl on the table.
"It smells so good!" Knight Lange exclaimed as he took a deep breath of the steamed egg's aroma.
Wizard Alberta was a little slow because of his injuries. When he heard Knight Captain Lange's voice, he couldn't help but panic and yelled, "Don't touch that bowl!"
"How can you only eat this? Let me have a taste. I'll buy you more food later. No wonder your body is getting worse and worse. So this is all you eat." Knight Lange said as he scooped out a big piece of the steamed egg and put it into his mouth.
Although Knight Lange looked rude on the surface, he was actually a very careful person. He was able to lead an adventure team to complete many missions. If he wasn't careful, he would have died many times over. He just saw a small piece of the steamed egg on the table. From the heat of the steamed egg, he knew it was freshly cooked. Therefore, he dared to dig out a piece and eat it.
As soon as the steamed egg entered his mouth, Lange felt like crying. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last cried. It seemed like he had never felt this way since he became a Knight.
"My God, Lange, how dare you eat it!" Wizard Alberta yelled in pain as he grabbed the spoon from Knight Lange's hand.
"Alberta, you shouldn't have done this. How could you eat such delicious food by yourself? If I didn't come today, I wouldn't have known you were such a stingy guy." Knight Lange complained as he looked at the spoon that was taken away from him.
"Lange, I traded my face for this dish. I'm a patient. Don't fight with me!" Wizard Alberta said with one hand protecting the wooden bowl as he looked at Knight Lange cautiously.
"Alright, it's yours!" Knight Lange raised both of his hands and signaled him to back off. However, he then continued to ask, "At least tell me where this dish came from. Don't tell me you made it. Do you think I don't know you?"
