Early the next morning, the burned up mansions and restaurants were locked up. The court told the public that they had already captured the men behind these attacks, a team of 4 adventurers who often robbed the Budapest mountain range.

Just when most people were applauding the speed at which the court had resolved this event, some realized something was odd. Especially Rose, who knew a little about this team of adventurers.

The adventurers were just robbers; it made no sense for them to perform such a grand attack within the city. But since the Linate City had blamed this attack on this team of adventurers, it could only mean one thing. This attack was done by some extremely prestigious person, someone that the Wizard Union could not afford to offend.

Just when the wizards in Linate City thought that this incident had settled, another event had occurred.

Early in the morning, Wizard Milo, Wizard Maynard, Wizard Acheson, and a bunch of other wizards arrived outside of the Forgotten Land ready to have their breakfast. However, all they were met with was a piece of paper.

News:

The Forgotten Land in Linate City has been busy ever since our grand opening, and we worked very hard to serve our customers. However, recently the Food and Beverage Alliance has blackmailed us into join them, demanding a large admin fee.

Our restaurant didn’t want any conflict, and we were about to discuss this matter with the Food and Beverage Alliance, but they continued to interfere with our business.

We had reported this to the court and the law enforcement wizards, but they said the Food and Beverage Alliance was too powerful to offend. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of our staff, we decided to close from today, until the court and law enforcement wizards resolve this problem.

Thank you for your understanding.

This news was a sudden strike of thunder, and all the wizards were dumbstruck by it. How could such unfair and oppressive behavior occur in a wizard ruled city? That was an insult to all wizards.

“My god, no steamed eggs, no steamed fish, no sour pork, no rib soup, no steak! How can I make it through today!” Yelled a wizard in agony.

After this, the wizard called out the name of each plate; all other wizards began to salivate. It seems like a Wizard’s powerful control had vanished into their desire for these dishes.

“When will they open again? There are no dates here.” An Intermediate wizard asked desperately.

“Are you blind? They said they need the court and the law enforcement wizards to resolve the problem first!” Another wizard called.

“What is this Food and Beverage Alliance? How can they do a thing like this?” Wizard Acheson said in anger. He would die by the Forgotten Land, he had leveled up in this place, and it deeply angered him that someone had bullied the Forgotten Land.

“The Food and Beverage Alliance should be an Alliance for all restaurants!” Said a wizard standing by the side.

“That’s right, yesterday I went to work early, and when I walked past here, I saw that the door was covered in blood. At that time, I thought some accident occurred, but it had already been cleaned up when I finished work. It seems like it was the good work of the Food and Beverage alliance!” A young wizard spoke.

“That’s horrendous; how can the law enforcement wizards stay silent. How powerful is the Food and Beverage Alliance?”

All the wizards on the spot were not family with the Food and Beverage Alliance; all they knew was what they had done was horrible and it had deeply angered them. This place was like their own kitchen, that’s why they had all come here so early.

“That’s it. I’m too hungry. But everything else is rubbish compared to the Forgotten Land. Everything else is pig food!” Said a wizard, rubbing his stomach.

At that moment, Wizard Diode carefully took out an ice storage box from his portal bag. He carefully opened the ice block, and inside was half a plate of steamed egg.

Since Wizard Diode had almost burned the Forgotten Land down last time, he was captured by the law enforcement wizards. He got locked up for a few days and needed to pay a huge fine.

After he was released, he carefully inspected the Forgotten Land again. Since he had got his rationality back, he realized the Forgotten Land might be his last chance, so he had to thicken up his face and go back there to eat.

However, with a huge debt, each time he could only afford one plate of steamed egg. Therefore, he would divide them into 2 portions every time.

Since he was unsure if the level would only be effective when eating in the Forgotten Land, he was dedicated to go there everyday to eat. Sometimes he would buy a new plate of steam egg, but sometimes, he would just ask the staff to help him heat up the leftover portion he had.

Of course, other wizards would look down on this weird behavior–especially since he had almost burned down the Forgotten land, almost everyone hated him.

Since Wizard Diode was hungry, he took out half a plate of the leftover steamed egg. All of a sudden, everyone was gazing at him as though he was the most important wizard.

As the ice on his steam egg began to melt, its original aroma began to sift out. Although it was definitely not as intense as the fresh ones, it was still enough to make all of those starving wizards’ eyes red.

“Wizard Diode, will you sell this steamed egg?” A wizard asked.

“I’ll eat it myself; I haven’t even had breakfast!” Said Wizard Diode as he took out a pair of chopsticks from his portal bag.

“Are you sure? I’ll give you 50 credit points!” That Wizard asked again.

Wizard Diode came to a halt; his eyes began to sparkle. 50 credit points was the price of a full plate, but now he could sell this half a plate for the same amount. That was 2 more times to eat in the future.

Just when Wizard Diode was still hesitating, another wizard shouted, “I’ll give you 75 credit points!”

By that point, Wizard Diode shoved his chopsticks back in his portal bag. He was already happy that someone was willing to pay him to double the price, now he had tripled.

“Ok, all of you give out your price. I’ll sell this to whoever bid the highest!” said Wizard Diode looking handsomely towards all wizards attracted by the steam egg

“100 credit points, That’s enough for you to buy two. If the Forgotten Land is. Or closed today, no one will pay you this price!”

“110 credit points, that’s my max.”

“112!”

“114! If anyone bid higher than me, I won’t follow!”

“115 credit points! If I knew this half a plate of steam egg could be worth the price of a steam fish, I would leave half of them in my portal bag as well. I know ice spells too!”

After the price had reached 110 credit points, every bid was only an extra credit point. All the wizards on the spot were not rich, so they would Definitely not overpay for half a plate of steamed egg.

At last, a rank 6 wizard named Auburn paid 120 credit points for this half a plate of steamed egg. He had been continuously eating from the Forgotten land for days. Since he also didn’t have much credit points on him, it seemed like he would need to borrow some from his friends these next few days.

Maybe it was because his rank was too low, he was basically helpless against this aroma. He had almost lost his mind in the bidding, so he deserved the food.

After he transferred 120 credit points to Wizard Diode with his identity card, he carefully placed the half a plate of the steamed egg within his hands and heated it up with his body temperature. At least it wouldn’t be too cold this way.

He also believed that the level up effect would only occur if he ate inside the Forgotten Land, so he gently knocked on the door.

Afterward, Manager Mahler’s voice emerged “Sorry customer; we are not open today.

Manager Mahler and the 4 other staff were all living in the Forgotten Land since there weren’t any other places for them to live in Linate City.

“Manager Mahler, I have half a plate of steamed eggs here. Can I just come inside and eat it? I promise I’ll go as soon as I’m finished!” Said Wizard Auburn in an almost begging tone.
