Abe the Wizard

When facing a Wizard’s request manager, Mahler gently opened a small gap on the door and said, “Come in!”

Wizard Auburn quickly flashed in. The other wizards also wanted to follow, but it was too late; the door was already shut.

“Finkle, come here and help Wizard Auburn heat up his steamed egg!” Manager Mahler called towards the kitchen.

Quickly Chef Finkle walked out of the kitchen with a big wok; inside was metal sand. He was training at the time, so his face was still filled with sweat.

“Wizard Auburn! after Finkle greeted him, he glanced at that half a plate of steam egg and asked in a weird tone, “isn’t this Wizard Yodio’s habit?”

“I got this from Wizard Yodio!” Wizard Auburn replied with an awkward and slightly embarrassed smile.

Finkle confusingly glanced at Wizard Auburn. He didn’t have the status to question the weird request of this wizard, so he just brought the steam egg straight to the kitchen.

Soon, a steaming hot steam egg had been brought out again, now placed in front of Wizard Auburn. It’s smelled just as good as the freshly cooked ones.

The smell of this steam egg on top of the friendliness of the Forgotten Land had deeply touched Wizard Auburn to the core. He put a spoonful of steam egg in his mouth. Although he had just eaten the same thing a few days ago, it was a total experience after going through a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Sparkles of bliss began to emerge with each bite, as the aroma filled his heart. It reminded him of the times when he was young, when he first followed his teacher into the magic tower, and slowly became an official wizard. Seemed like his entire life was flashing in front of his mind.

Soon, the scent of leveling up began to build within his body, and it was at this moment manager Mahler knew something was not right.

He quickly called shop owner Bartoli through the identity card. At that time Bartoli was preparing breakfast for Abel, and suddenly she received this call. That was odd, she thought to herself. The shop was not supposed to open today, how come there was a wizard leveling up? Soon she noticed the weird look on Abel’s face as well.

“Bartoli, why is there a wizard leveling up in our shop?” Abel asked in confusion. She knew Bartoli had put up the sign, and he also knew Manager Mahler would not disobey Bartoli’s command.

“I just replied to Mahler’s message, I need to go have a look! You can unleash the spirit guardian knight captain and tell it to cook for you!” Said Bartoli with a bow.

“Just come back quick; Don’t show yourself too much today!” Abel warned her.

Bartoli had arrived at the Forgotten Land in a flash and helped Wizard Auburn set up the mana gathering circle. The 5 staff of the shop hide behind the protection circle of the kitchen, so those mana couldn’t hurt them.

“My god, this is the scent of leveling up!” A wizard locked outside of the shop suddenly called in shock.

The Forgotten Land had given them too many surprises. Another wizard was leveling up, and this time it was only through half a plate of a leftover steamed egg.

“Wizard Auburn is so lucky; I regret not buying that half a plate of steam egg now!” a wizard who was involved in the hidden yelled.

“Yeah, I offered quite a lot of credit points too. If I had bought the thing, maybe I would be the one leveling up now!” another wizard yelled in pain.

“I’ve just offered 119 credit points. I’ve let my level up slide just by one credit point!” A wizard mumbled.

Actually all wizards knew fully well that it came down to luck if Wizard Auburn to level up or not, but at the same time, no one would dare to deny that the steam egg might play a role. This level up just came at such a peculiar time.

This showed that the steam egg was exactly what Wizard Auburn needed to leap over his final barrier. Therefore, all of a sudden every single wizard on the spot was filled with regret.

Some more wizards had arrived outside the shop upon sensing a level up the scent. By this point, they had also regretted not coming here early as they all let out a long sigh.

Originally, Wizard Yodio was happy he could sell his leftover steamed egg for 120 credit points, but now, he was stunned. He had not budged a single bit ever since he felt the scent for a level up.

Waves of regret poured within his heart. He was just unlucky this time, so he decided from now on, no matter how poor he got, he would still come to The Forgotten Land to eat every day. He didn’t care how many people laughed at him. As long as he could have his half a plate of steamed egg every day, he would have a chance of leveling up.

This rare leveling up opportunity had slid into the hands of Wizard Auburn with 120 credit points. If he had another chance, he would not sell it even if it was 10 times, 100 times more.

Regrets and sorrow began to build as Wizard Yodio kept thinking to himself. In the end, he sat on the floor and burst out in tears and snot. All kinds of sorrow poured out from his body. He was looking very bad, but he couldn’t care less. He just needed to unleash these emotions.

“That’s Karma. Never give up your opportunity to dine in the Forgotten Land; it can turn your whole life around!” Intermediate Wizard Acheson sighed.

Wizard Acheson had the most sympathy here. His life was almost about to end, but it was completely turned around with a bowl of rib soup. Since he had become an intermediate wizard ever since, he had gained more precious time for training, more time for him to progress to the next level.

Half an hour passed and a slit was opened from the door. Wizard Auburn dashed out with the happiest look on his face. Since he had become a rank 7 wizard, his excitement had unleashed his uncontrollable mana wave everywhere. Now every wizard on the spot knew his rank.

“Another wizard leveled up!” A wizard spoked softly.

“Is this the 4th one? Who will be the 5th one to level up?” Another wizard spoke in a shaking voice.

Yeah, who would be the 5th one to level up? Before, no wizard believed a dish could help them level up, but after countless examples, none of them could deny it anymore.

Wizard Acheson was the 3rd Wizard to level up here, and it was a huge leap forward for him as well. Now, he was not planning to stop any time soon.

“It’s too bad they are now closed down!” Wizard Marlon sighed. Although he had just leveled up, he still believed he would level up again as long as he kept coming to the Forgotten Land.

“Yeah, what can we do for our hope to level up!”

“Low ranking wizards like us don’t have enough credit points to buy those ultra-expensive potions. Now, our only hope was killed!”

“We can’t continue like this. Let’s wait here, wait until more wizards come and we will all go to the law enforcement wizards together! We need them to resolve their problem!”

“Yeah, this will show them they shouldn’t mess around with low ranking wizards like us!”

“I’ll join, I’m not going to work today!”

“I’ll take a leave today as well. I can’t kill my only hope of leveling up!”

They were filled with a fiery passion, and none of those wizards saw a connection between this and the 10 restaurants that were destroyed yesterday. Since that problem had already been clarified as resolved, none of them expected the Food and Beverage Alliance they were talking about had already turned into a pile of ash.

It was not common to see 200 wizards gathered in one place, but this extraordinary scenery had exactly occurred outside of the court of Linate City. Not only that but slowly, people of all kinds of other occupations had also begun to join. Some were the teammates of those wizards; some were their friends and family
