“Hyah!” Wizard Diode cried out as a ‘fireball’ flew out from his hand, burning the table in front of him to the ground.
He was jealous. He stared as the three wizards dug into their food. They couldn’t quite enjoy it, though. They were too startled by the “fireball” that was cast. It was illegal to use spells in Liante City, after all.
The three wizards looked at Wizard Diode. They all cast defensive spells on themselves. Then, they glanced at each other at the same time. They all thought the same thing:
“This sucks,” they all thought. It was a nice day out. They were all having a good time, and now a madman had to come in and ruin everything. Well, there wasn’t much they could do about it, so they just readied themselves for an upcoming fight.
And it’s not like they could just call the law enforcement wizards. All that happened was that somebody cast a fireball. Having the authorities come here via a teleportation circle was just, frankly speaking, too “wasteful.” Usually, these kinds of things would be handled by someone nearby, like an intermediate wizard who happened to be in the same building.
When Wizard Diode saw the defensive spells on the three wizards, he quickly turned his gaze away from them. He focused on Manager Mahler, who was standing at the counter together with Garen and Mike. Both of them were hiding behind him after being shocked by the ‘fireball’ spell that burned the table.
“How dare you lie to me!” Wizard Diode shouted. The flames in his hands flickered. A beginner level spell, “inferno flame,” was about to be released.
This spell would burn everyone and the whole shop into dust. Everyone would die from it. The three watched with horrified eyes as they waited to be engulfed by the flames.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them. A soft touch on the “inferno flame” with a slender finger. It seemed to have been drained out of its mana. In an instant, it dissipated into one tiny spark.
It was Bartoli. She was the only one who possessed the secret of the fire element. If a different element spell was cast, anything that was hit would be destroyed on the spot. Then, there would be nothing she could do about it.
Bartoli did not use spells against Wizard Diode, because a wizard who had lost his mind was no longer a true threat. He didn’t even have his guards on, and with that, she could very easily sprint over towards him for a “clean” finish. Then, her hand was already slashing his neck.
Wizard Diode gulped heavily. He collapsed to the ground. He was trying hard to get more air through his damaged neck. That was a close call on Bartoli’s part. If she didn’t learn the “move in a flash” technique a few days ago with the “soul enhancing potion” Abel gave her, she would not be fast enough to come here to save Manager Mahler on time.
“The enforcement squad will now enforce the law Wizard Diode now you will be judged justly for using your spells without permission in Liante City!” A red-robed intermediate wizard appeared in the lobby of the Forgotten Land in a white light stirred up by ‘Move in a flash’. He looked at the Wizard Diode on the floor who was panting heavily.
The Liante City’s Defensive magic circle was able to distinguish the identity of the lawgiver, and this was because everyone who entered the city would register their aura in the memory bank of the City spirit of Liante City. Whenever anyone broke the law, the Defensive magic circle would determine who was the first to break it.
That’s why the red-robed law-enforcement wizard pointed straight at the Wizard Diode as soon as he came in. He handcuffed Wizard Diode, and the handcuff had a forbidden spell. It could make the wizard temporarily unable to use mana.
“Wizard Bartoli, thank you very much for subduing Wizard Diode. Things would be bad if he hurt someone!” The red-robed law enforcement wizard bowed and gave thanks.
There were several types of law and order incidents in Liante City; one was an attempt to commit a crime, one was an injury, one was a death, and the corresponding assessment of the law enforcement wizards patrolling the area, whose income was tied to their performance, which was why the red-robed wizard was so solemnly grateful.
On the same night, bad rumors arose that the Wizard Diode had gone mad on the spot after eating the dishes of Forgotten Land was caught by the law enforcement wizard.
The Forgotten Land’s reputation at this point was also split into two. Some insisted on believing that the dishes of the Forgotten Land were helpful for promotion, and most of these wizards were on the sidelines of two promotions.
While the other was skeptical about the dishes of Forgotten Land, there was even talk that the two promotions could have been rumors created by the Forgotten Land to promote its dishes. Which, of course, was untenable and would have been debunked as soon as the two wizards were known, but not all of them knew the two wizards.
On the tenth day of the opening, under the influence of various rumors. Acheson, an old wizard of the tenth rank, appeared with the aura of promotion while tasting the rib soup. Bartoli, who had been paying attention to this place, immediately appeared and arranged a mana gathering magic circle for him.
All the wizards in the shop knew Wizard Acheson because Wizard Acheson had been in Liante City for a very long time, longer than almost all the wizards in the shop. But the most unusual thing was that Acheson was nearing the end of his life span, which some wizards estimated would be exhausted in the last few years.
But he was a desperate wizard who had been stuck on the level between junior and intermediate wizard for an unknown number of years, only to be promoted because of a 150-point rib soup.
Most wizards remembered that Acheson Wizard had been a tenth level wizard when he came to Liante City and had heard that in previous years Acheson Wizard had left the matter behind him, just waiting for the end of his life.
At this time, the Acheson wizard was promoted in front of dozens of wizards present. The strong aura of promotion made the wizards all look envious. To know that from now on, the Acheson wizard was an intermediate wizard. At the same time, he was free from the end of life.
At this moment, the manager stood sullenly outside the door of Forgotten Land. He was surrounded by four shopkeepers who had slowly gotten used to this kind of thing, and they also knew that as soon as this happened, it would be another burst of sales growth for the Forgotten Land.
When the Acheson Wizard, or perhaps he should be called the Acheson Intermediate Wizard opened his eyes. His tears slid down the corners of his eyes. At that moment he had been reborn, that moment he was full of energy and at that moment he wanted to scream out loud.
The repression of nearly a hundred years was all washed away by the joy of promotion at that very moment. Intermediate wizard, originally a distant title, had now become his.
The rumor was broken by the third wizard promotion. Because the Acheson Wizard was so famous, especially among the lower level wizards, almost all of them knew his story Acheson Wizard and had once lamented it.
The Forgotten Land was still basically filled with junior wizards, and there were no intermediate wizards. Because the status of intermediate wizards were too noble, and it was not a circle of communication with lower-level wizards. And thanks to the promotion of wizard Acheson to an intermediate wizard, the legend of Forgotten Land dishes has spread into the circle of intermediate wizards again.
So a few days after that, intermediate wizards began to appear in the Forgotten Land, and there were already many junior wizards who used this place as a normal place to eat. Despite the high price, it was still very cost-effective to eat only the cheapest steamed eggs.
Every wizard who arrived here thought that there were already three wizards who had been promoted here. The wizards all knew what it meant, especially the wizard Acheson who had been promoted to the intermediate level. It was a huge promotion. Furthermore, a potion that could increase the chances of a big promotion wouldn’t be less than ten thousand points.
Especially after the many wizards actually confirmed it, the rumors before had gone, and with the delicious ‘rabbit essence’. The place quickly became the best restaurant in the whole Liante City.
“Master, this was the income for twenty days, which I transfer to you!” Bartoli said as she held out her ID card and handed it to Abel’s side.
It had been twenty days since the opening of the Forgotten Land. During this time, there were still some knight’s commanders and knight’s head commanders that came as customers. Yet, things started to change. Wizards became the restaurant’s main source of income. Whether it was during the days or the nights, wizards would line up to get their fill of the “delicious” stuff on the menu. Soon, the restaurant even started receiving complaints, complaints that there “weren’t enough chairs and tables around.”
