Chapter 427: Neighbors Attracted by the Aroma
"What's the matter with you?" asked Bartoli in a wizard's salute.
"I'm your neighbor, my name is Alberta, I want to ask if you're doing something to eat?" said the Albertan wizard as he swept his eyes over the dishes on the table in the main room, his expression longing.
"What the hell is the matter with you, Wizard Alberta?" Bartoli was confused by the old wizard's expression, not knowing what he meant.
"May I go in and talk?" asked the Albertan wizard, reluctantly retracting his eyes from the dishes in the main house, in a very sincere voice.
"I'm just a housekeeper, I don't have the right to let you in, please explain what's the matter, otherwise I won't let you in. Bartoli was a little annoyed by the attitude of the Albertan wizard, the master was in a good mood today, and she was showing her recent results to the master, but was disturbed by the Albertan wizard in front of her.
The Alberta wizard looked startled, the intermediate wizard was the housekeeper, which big man was here, he hurriedly whispered: "I'm sorry, I live next door to you, and I have been smelling the aroma of food in your yard every day recently, so I can hardly eat other food, I really can't help it today, so I came over to take a look!"
"That's me learning to cook from my master, if you're all right, please go back!" Bartoli didn't expect this to be the reason, she made a gesture of please.
"That...... Can you sell me some food, I can buy it with points!" said the Alberta wizard pleadingly.
Bartoli was about to answer when she heard a voice from the house: "Bartoli, bring him a plate of food and let him go!"
"Yes, master!" replied Bartoli, turning back and going into the house, picking out the simplest steamed egg among several dishes, putting it in a box, and walking out in his hand.
"Give!" she said reluctantly, these dishes were all successful after she had carefully tested them for many years, but she didn't expect the master to give them away before she could eat them.
"Thank you, how many points should I pay?" asked the Alberta wizard as he took the box with joy, sniffed the aroma of the food inside through the box, and then took out his identity tag.
"Alright, let's get out!" Bartoli didn't pay any more attention to the Albertan wizard, but simply closed the door.
The Alberta wizard was stunned at the door, looking at the closed door, he was a little helpless, as an intermediate wizard in their adventure organization, it is also the most important combat power, even in Leant City, it is also a group of people with a very high status, but think about what he did just now, it is good not to be directly kicked out, think about the use of intermediate wizards as housekeepers, you can know that the identity of the man who just spoke must be very noble.
However, when he saw the food box in his hand, his mood immediately became very good, the recent mission had just ended, he had been injured during the mission, and this time was just resting, who knew that since a few days ago, he had been smelling the aroma of food intermittently, and this aroma was very attractive.
At first, he didn't pay much attention to the aroma of food, although the smell was so good, but it came from the neighbor's house, and the yard should have a new owner after being closed for decades, and he didn't know it.
Who knew that the aroma of this food slowly began to affect his feeling about food, and he actually felt a little chewy wax when he ate the spirit beast meat and high-quality food that he exchanged for points.
After a few days, he began to notice that something was wrong, because of the injury and not eating well, the injury itself did not improve, but worsened.
He originally thought that the aroma was poisonous, but whether it was using spiritual power or other means, he didn't find any toxins after checking, and he also tried to take the antidote, but it didn't have any effect, as long as he ate, he still felt completely tasteless.
With no choice but to cheekily go to the neighbor's house, hoping to spend some points on some food to solve his urgent needs, and also to see what caused him to lose his appetite.
The wizard of Alberta carefully carried the food box, returned to his yard, came to the house, put the food box on the table, opened the food box and took out the steamed eggs inside.
As soon as he opened the food box, a strong aroma of food hit his face, which made him almost unbearable, but he still suppressed the desire in his heart, put the wooden bowl containing the steamed egg on the table, and did not start immediately.
He took out a array, which was specially made for life in the wild, and could tell if the food was poisonous or not.
Carefully picked out a piece from the steamed egg, and began to pick it bigger, he was a little reluctant, and removed some more, only picked a little bit and put it in the array plate, bursts of white light flashed, and the middle part of the array plate did not change in any way.
"Non-toxic!" the wizard of Alberta breathed a sigh of relief, if it is not poisonous, then it is possible that this food is too delicious, so just smelling the aroma can make him feel tasteless about other foods.
"Now for the second step, test if the food really tastes good?"
The Wizard of Alberta picked up the spoon with a serious and holy expression, and took a small piece from the steamed egg and put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, an unimaginable smell rushed to his mouth and nose, and then he felt as if his soul was flying, he was sure that it had been more than three hundred years since he was born, and he had never eaten such a delicious taste, and all words could not describe how he felt at this time.
"Knock knock knock!" Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, interrupting his tasting of food.
"It's so annoying to be here!" said the Albertan wizard reluctantly put down his spoon, as if he had forgotten that he was also the neighbor he had bothered at lunchtime.
"Alberta, are you still healed?" asked the Albertan wizard as he opened the door, revealing a middle-aged knight in armor standing in the doorway, who asked aloud at the sight of the Albertan wizard.
The Alberta wizard was indeed in a bad state at this time, especially those who knew him well, and it seemed that his injuries were getting worse at a glance.
The person who came was the captain of the Warhammer adventure team of the Albertan wizards, the Grand Knight Captain Lange, and the Albertan wizards were busy bringing him into the door.
Grand Knight Lange was very familiar with the wizards of Alberta, and they were really lifelong friends, so as soon as he entered, he walked directly into the house without politeness, and saw the wooden bowl on the table at a glance.
"It smells so good!" said Grand Knight Lange, taking a sip of the aroma of steamed eggs.
The Alberta wizard was wounded and walked a little slower, and when he heard the voice of the Grand Knight of Lange, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and shouted, "Don't move that bowl!"
"How can you only eat this, I'll taste it, and I'll buy you more food when I go back, no wonder your health is getting worse and worse, so you just ate this little thing." Grand Knight Langer said, picking up a spoon and scooping out a large chunk of the steamed egg and putting it in his mouth.
Although the Grand Knight of Lange is rude on the surface, he is actually a very careful person, who can lead an adventure team to complete the task many times, if he is not careful, he would have died countless times, he just saw a small piece of the steamed egg on the table, and from the heat of the steamed egg, he can know that this dish has just come out of the pot not long ago, so he dared to dig a piece to eat.
The steamed egg entered his mouth, and a delicacy that made Grand Knight Lange want to cry came from his mouth and into his brain, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had felt tears, as if he had barely felt this way since he became a knight.
"My god, Lange, you steal it!" exclaimed the Albertan wizard as he snatched the spoon from the hand of the Grand Knight Captain Lange.
"I said Alberta, you shouldn't be, how could you secretly eat such a delicious dish by yourself, if I don't come today, I don't know if you are such a stingy guy. Grand Knight Lange looked at the snatched spoon very depressed, and couldn't help complaining.
"Lange, I bought this dish with my cheek, I'm a patient, so don't rob it with me!" said the Alberta wizard as he looked at Grand Knight Langer vigilantly, holding the wooden bowl with one hand.
"Well, it's yours!" Grand Knight Lange raised his hands and motioned for him to withdraw from the food grabbing fight, but then asked, "Then you must tell me where this dish came from, don't tell me that you made it, don't you know it yet?"
"It was done by a mid-level wizard-level housekeeper next door, but it seems like her master taught her to do it. The wizard of Alberta picked up the spoon and gently dug another piece into his mouth, saying as he ate.
