The next morning, the hotel and villa that were burned down last night were sealed off. The city hall announced that a team of four adventurers who often robbed in the Budapest Mountains were the culprits behind the burning of many buildings. They had been arrested and brought to justice.
Just when most people were praising the law enforcement wizards for their speed in handling the case, some people saw the strangeness of the matter, especially those who knew about the small adventurers.
It was possible to say that the adventurers were robbing outside, but they would never dare to do such a big move in the city. However, since Liante City would use this adventurers as a scapegoat, it was clear what it meant. It must be a big figure who committed the crime, and this big figure was someone that the wizard union could not afford to offend.
Just when the Liante City Wizard Union thought that this matter should be over, another thing happened.
Wizard Milo, Wizard Maynard, Wizard Acheson, and many other wizards came to the Forgotten Land very early to have dinner, but they saw the door was closed, and a notice was posted on the wall next to the door.
Since the opening of the Forgotten Land Hotel in Liante City, it has been conscientious and tried to serve all customers. However, it was threatened by the Food and Beverage Alliance a few days ago. It was forced to join the Food and Beverage Alliance and pay a huge amount of membership fee.
The hotel was actively preparing to negotiate with the Food and Beverage Alliance, but the Food and Beverage Alliance had made various threats to the Forgotten Land Hotel.
The hotel has complained to the city hall and the law enforcement wizards, but the law enforcement wizards said that the Food and Beverage Alliance has a strong background. Because of the fear of the safety of the hotel, staff, and customers, they are now notified to stop business from today until the city hall and the law enforcement wizards give a result.
This announcement was like a sudden clap of thunder, and all the wizards present were dumbfounded. How could such a thing happen in a city directly under the rule of the wizards? It was an insult to all the wizards.
"My God, no steamed eggs, no boiled fish, no sweet and sour pork, no pork rib soup, no fried steak, how can I get through this day!" A wizard cried out in pain.
As the names of the dishes were called out by him, all the wizards present were constantly surging in their mouths. It seemed that the wizard's powerful control disappeared as the names of the dishes were called out.
"When can we open normally? Why is it not written?" A middle-aged wizard cried anxiously.
"Didn't you see it? We need to wait for the city hall and the law enforcement adepts to come up with a solution before we can open for business. "The adept on the side replied.
"What is this Food and Beverage Alliance? How dare they do such a thing?" Wizard Acheson yelled angrily. He was a hardcore member of the Forgotten Land. He was promoted here, so he was furious that the Forgotten Land was being bullied.
"The Food and Beverage Alliance should be the union of all the restaurants!" The wizard on the side replied.
"By the way, I went out early yesterday morning to do something. When I passed by here, I saw that the walls and gate of the Forgotten Land were covered in blood. At that time, I thought something bad had happened, but when I came back to take a look, it was already cleaned up. Now it seems like the Food and Beverage Alliance did something to the Forgotten Land!" The young wizard said what he had seen yesterday.
"Damn it! Even law enforcement wizards don't dare to do anything about it. How much does this Food and Beverage Alliance have to do with it?"
Everyone on the spot was a wizard. They were not familiar with the food and beverage industry, but they were furious about the Food and Beverage Alliance's actions. Wizards who came here this early in the morning basically treated this place as their own kitchen.
"No, I'm starving. Other than the food from the Forgotten Land, the rest of the food is garbage. It's all for pigs!" A wizard rubbed his stomach and yelled.
At that moment, Wizard Diode carefully took out a frozen container from his portal bag. He gently cracked the ice with his hand and opened the container. Inside was half a bowl of steamed eggs.
Wizard Diode almost burned down the restaurant in the Forgotten Land last time. After he was caught by the law enforcement wizards, he was locked up for a few days and owed a huge sum of money.
After he was released, he carefully asked about the Forgotten Land. After he came back to his senses, he knew that the food in the Forgotten Land might be his last chance, so he shamelessly came back to the Forgotten Land to eat again.
Since he had already used up all his credit points and owed a huge sum of money, he could only buy one steamed egg each time. He would only eat half of it and leave the other half for the next time.
Since he wasn't sure if he had to eat the steamed egg in the Forgotten Land to level up, he insisted on eating in the restaurant every day. Sometimes, he would just buy a new steamed egg, and sometimes, he would ask the staff to heat up half a steamed egg for him.
Although all the wizards looked down on his strange behavior, especially after they knew he almost burned down the Forgotten Land, they despised him even more.
When Wizard Diode took out half of the steamed egg because he was hungry, all the wizards' eyes were on him. It was as if he was the most eye-catching wizard on the spot.
As the ice in his hand slowly melted, the original aroma of the steamed egg began to spread out. Although it was not as rich as a fresh steamed egg, it still made the eyes of the wizards who had been starving for an entire night turn red.
"Wizard Diode, are you selling this bowl of steamed eggs?" A wizard asked.
"I want to eat it myself. I haven't had breakfast yet!" Said Wizard Diode as he took out a spoon from his portal bag.
"I'll give you 50 credit points for this steamed egg. Are you selling it?" That wizard continued to ask.
The spoon in Wizard Diode's hand stopped. He was a little tempted. Originally, a bowl was worth 50 credit points, but now he could sell half a bowl for the price of a bowl. Didn't that mean he had two chances to eat it?
"I'll give you 75 credit points for this bowl of steamed egg!" Just when Wizard Diode was hesitating, another wizard yelled.
Wizard Diode put the spoon back into his portal bag. He was thinking that if he could sell this half a bowl of steamed egg for a good price, then he would have more chances to eat it in the future. Like now, he could eat it three times.
"You guys make a bid. I'll sell it to whoever gives the highest price!" Said Wizard Diode proudly as he looked at the wizards attracted by the steamed egg.
"100 credit points. That's enough for you to buy 2 servings of steamed egg. If the Forgotten Land wasn't closed today, who would spend so many credit points to buy this half a bowl of steamed egg?"
"110 credit points. That's all I can offer."
"112 credit points!"
"114 credit points. I won't follow anyone who gives a higher price than me!"
"115 credit points. Who would've thought that this half a bowl of steamed egg could be worth a bowl of boiled fish. If I knew this, I would've bought a bowl and put it in my portal bag. I've learned ice spells before!"
After reaching 110 credit points, the price was increasing bit by bit. None of the wizards here were rich. Even if they had some credit points, they wouldn't spend a lot of money on a half a bowl of steamed egg.
In the end, a rank 6 wizard named Albin bought this half a bowl of steamed egg with 120 credit points. Wizard Albin had been eating the dishes of the Forgotten Land for a few days, so he didn't have many credit points left. After buying this half a bowl of steamed egg, he would probably have to borrow credit points from his friends for the rest of the month.
Maybe it was because of his low rank, Wizard Albin couldn't resist the aroma at all. He almost lost his mind and kept increasing the price. In the end, he got the half a bowl of steamed egg as he wished.
Wizard Albin used his identity card to transfer the 120 credit points to Wizard Diode and took the half a bowl of steamed egg from him. He carefully placed the half a bowl of steamed egg in his hands. He wanted to use his body temperature to heat it up faster. At least it wouldn't be too cold.
He also believed that only by eating the dishes of the Forgotten Land in the Forgotten Land could he level up. Therefore, he gently knocked on the door a few times.
"I'm sorry, sir. We're closed today!" Manager Mahler's voice emerged from the store.
Manager Mahler and the other 4 employees all lived in the store. There was no other place in Linate City that they could live in.
