Bartoli stepped up and carefully placed the food on Abel and Wizard Lorenzo's plates. If it was just Abel, he wouldn't mind, but since there were guests, he had to follow the rules of the nobles.
Although the traditional Chinese way of dining was to share the same dish with everyone, Abel wouldn't do that. The way of dining in the Holy Continent was not compatible with the way of dining in the Holy Continent. He didn't even want to use chopsticks.
If someone asked Wizard Lorenzo what was the best dish in the past, he would give a bunch of examples. During his travels when he was young, he had tasted many different kinds of food in countless cities, and many of them were still fresh in his memory.
But now, Wizard Lorenzo could point at the dishes on the table and say that these 5 dishes were the best he had ever tasted. Everything else was trash.
As a spoonful of steamed egg entered his mouth, a strange feeling rose from his heart. This made him feel enlightened. Although this little bit of enlightenment couldn't make him advance, it made him understand more about spells and magic power at the same level.
Wizard Lorenzo's eyes began to sparkle. It seemed like Grandmaster Abel's dishes could really help a wizard level up. Although the other elite alchemists had sworn that the dishes in the Forgotten Land had nothing to do with leveling up, Wizard Lorenzo was sure that it wasn't just the increase of mana and power of the will that could help a wizard level up. It was just as important to have a taste that could help a wizard level up.
He didn't know that the purity of the 'rabbit essence' used by Bartoli was much richer than the dishes in the Forgotten Land, because one side used the original 'rabbit essence', while the other side used the 'rabbit essence' that had been diluted with water.
Wizard Lorenzo didn't say anything after the first bite. Every dish gave him a new feeling. As an elite wizard, his power of the will had given him a deeper sense of taste.
Of course, if Abel knew what he was thinking at that moment, he would tell him that he was overthinking. The only thing that could help a wizard level up was Abel's red wine. It could slowly restore a wizard's body. It could rejuvenate a wizard's body, so he didn't dare to give it to an outsider.
The insight provided by the rabbit essence was just an accessory to the unparalleled taste. What Abel cared about the most was the taste of the dish itself. It was the taste of home.
"Guru Abel, thank you so much for inviting me to have a meal with you. This was an extraordinary experience!" Said Wizard Lorenzo sincerely as he sat down with Abel and drank some juice after the meal.
Abel was not an elite wizard, so he didn't know how hard it was for an elite wizard to level up. Wizard Lorenzo, on the other hand, felt like he had gained a lot this time, so of course, he was very grateful.
"Wizard Lorenzo, it's always nice to be able to share with a friend!" Abel said with a smile.
"Guru Abel, I'm very happy to be your friend!" Wizard Lorenzo said with a smile.
With a good start, Wizard Lorenzo felt more confident about the rest of the conversation.
Wizard Lorenzo said with sincerity, "Grandmaster Abel, I'm here today to ask you to reopen the Forgotten Land. Since you closed the Forgotten Land, a large number of wizards have gathered at the city hall."
"Wizard Lorenzo, the Forgotten Land? My steward opened it for fun when she was bored. Because of this, she got into trouble with the Food and Beverage Alliance. I've already scolded her and asked her to close the restaurant. It's just a boring game anyway, "Abel said with a faint smile and looked at Bartoli, who was standing next to him.
Bartoli didn't say anything. He just stood next to Abel and bowed as if he had done something wrong.
Wizard Lorenzo didn't expect Abel to say something like this, so he didn't know how to respond to Abel. It seemed like Abel wasn't someone who was easy to talk to.
Wizard Lorenzo was in a hurry to find a solution, so he asked directly, "Grandmaster Abel, just tell me what you want. You know, the Food and Beverage Alliance has been destroyed by someone. There are only a few small fry left in the entire Food and Beverage Alliance."
"Wizard Lorenzo, you know that I'm a peace-loving person. I don't like to make enemies, so before I get a clear explanation from the Food and Beverage Alliance, I won't let the Forgotten Land open for business!" Abel was still smiling, but he didn't want to back down at all.
"Ok, Guru Abel, I'll contact the force behind the Food and Beverage Alliance and give you an answer as soon as possible!" Wizard Lorenzo helplessly stood up.
Although Wizard Lorenzo had gained a lot of personal benefits, he still hadn't made much progress in terms of business. He thought he could solve this problem by letting Abel open the restaurant as soon as possible, but it seemed like it was just wishful thinking.
In a lounge in the city hall, Wizard Arche was looking at the protesting crowd outside in anger. He was already feeling very uneasy. He was the representative of the Kingdom of St Pierrt in Liante City, and the Food and Beverage Alliance was only a small part of the Kingdom of St Pierrt's benefits. Normally, he would get some benefits from the head of welfare, so he would let him do whatever he wanted.
He didn't expect the head of welfare and the entire Food and Beverage Alliance to be wiped out last night, and he didn't even know how to deal with it. He knew very well what was going on.
However, he couldn't do anything about this. Even the 4 elite wizards didn't want to mess with them, so he couldn't do anything about it.
It wasn't worth it to mess with them for a little bit of benefit. It was just a shame that the head of welfare would lose all his benefits. He didn't know if his successor would be as good as him.
At first, he thought this was the end of it, but since morning, a large number of wizards had gathered in front of the city hall and demanded an explanation from the Food and Beverage Alliance and its supporters. As time went on, the number of wizards had reached a terrifying level.
If one wizard lost control of his emotions, even an elite wizard might not be able to escape, let alone an intermediate wizard like him.
The most annoying thing was that when his colleagues in the city hall heard that the Food and Beverage Alliance was involved, they immediately pushed the blame onto him. Everyone in the city hall knew the Food and Beverage Alliance was backed by the Kingdom of St Pierrt, and he was the representative of the Kingdom of St Pierrt. Who else could take the blame for this?
"Wizard Arche, I need to talk to you!" Wizard Lorenzo's voice emerged from beside him. This was a rare occasion where Wizard Lorenzo used his authority to teleport directly into the city hall.
Wizard Lorenzo had wasted some time with Abel. Of course, it wasn't really a waste of time. It was more like a waste of time. Therefore, Wizard Lorenzo directly teleported to Wizard Arche's side. Under normal circumstances, this kind of behavior was very inappropriate.
However, the situation was urgent, and Wizard Lorenzo couldn't care less.
"Mr. Lorenzo, why did you come here personally?" Wizard Arche quickly bowed when he saw Wizard Lorenzo.
Normally, if Wizard Lorenzo wanted to see a wizard, he would directly ask that wizard to go to the Wizard Union. It was very rare for him to leave the Wizard Union personally.
"If I didn't come here, something big would have happened!" Wizard Lorenzo said as he pointed at the crowd outside.
"Mr. Lorenzo, I'm also worried about this!" Wizard Arche said helplessly.
"I have a solution, but the Kingdom of St Pierrt needs to make some sacrifices!" Wizard Lorenzo said calmly.
"Mr. Lorenzo, as long as you can solve this, everything is negotiable!" Wizard Arche quickly bowed.
