Chapter 1841: Show Us Your Potential, Show Us Your Integrity!
“Two new limited-edition products! Sharing four recipes! On-the-spot teaching!”
Robert’s face began to look like a blooming chrysanthemum, with an increasingly perverted smile.
This was the number one chef of Chaos City, or perhaps even the number one chef on the Norland Continent, and he was going to publicly share his private recipes during the Delicacy Extravaganza!
Most importantly, he was even going to conduct on-the-spot teaching.
Furthermore, he even released two new limited-edition products for the Delicacy Extravaganza!
Robert was looking at Mag with a touched gaze. He didn’t expect Mr. Mag would cooperate with the Food Association to this extent. He simply had no means to repay such a broad mind and selfless character.
Mag felt rather uneasy being stared at by Robert’s heated gaze. He even began to suspect that this president had bad ideas on him.
“Apart from cooking, I intend to do some promotion too. Is it alright?” Mag said.
“Of course, it’s alright. The Delicacy Extravaganza’s compatibility is very high. As long as it’s related to food, you can sell whatever you want.” Robert nodded with a smile before he fawningly said, “Do you have any other requests, Boss Mag? As long as we can do it, we’ll arrange it for you immediately.”
“There’s nothing else. The location is good, and the booth is spacious, so it’s rather good.” Mag shook his head, and then looked at his watch. “Then I’ll go back first, I still have to do the lunch service later.”
“Alright, please go get yourself busy.” Robert nodded, and watched Mag go away. Then, he waved the staff member in charge of advertising over. “Add this eye-catching slogan at the entrance: do you want to make fine restaurant’s delicacies at home too? The chef of Mamy Restaurant is going to share his popular recipes publicly for the very first time. There are also on-the-spot teaching and the release of new limited-edition products for the Delicacy Extravaganza!
“Yes.” The staff member went away with the instructions.

Rodu.
It was boisterous in the square in front of the Magus Tower.
Hundreds of thousands of Rodu’s residents and courtiers gathered here, and many of them were even magic casters or people who aspired to be magic casters.
Today was the opening day of the triennial Magic Caster Tournament. It was also the first day, when the competition and the dueling were the most intense.
It was organized by the Magus Tower and supervised by the king of the Roth Empire personally. All the most outstanding young magic casters in the Roth Empire were gathered here. It represented the highest level of competition among the Roth Empire’s younger generation.
This was the stage whereby the disciples of the Magus Tower proved themselves, the chance for many who cultivated alone by themselves to enter the Magus Tower, and also the ladder for the magical families to elevate their status.
One had to know that the top 32 of the Magic Caster Tournament could enter the Magus Tower and study. The top 10 could even be employed as teachers. As for the champion, it was said that he or she would receive an extremely precious golden-purple magic stone and be taken in as the disciple of one of the 10th-tier great magic casters.
No matter if it was the golden-purple magic stone, which could increase spiritual power, or being taken in as the disciple of one of the 10th-tier great magic casters, it was extremely attractive to the young magic casters.
Even if they couldn’t get into the top 32, they could still be noticed by the military or personal funders, and gain better resources and status if they did well at the Magic Caster Tournament.
This was the reason why all the magic casters were so enthusiastic about the Magic Caster Tournament.
The Magic Caster Tournament took place once every three years. If they missed this year’s, they would have to wait for another three years.
Some magic casters grew old as they waited.
There were over 4000 magic casters taking part in this year’s Magic Caster Tournament, and they were even pre-selected before obtaining the rights to take part. Their power was all above the 4th-tier.
All the kings of the Roth Empire focused on the knights and magic casters equally. They had been strongly supporting the Magus Tower in the past 100 years. They groomed the magic casters, and gave them space to elevate themselves. It allowed many people who couldn’t be knights to become magic caster apprentices.
The huge population base and many support policies resulted in the creation of many powerful magic casters. This was also how the Roth Empire excavated its potential rapidly, and became a terrifying existence that was just ranked below the giant dragons.
Although there were no seats set up in the spacious square, that didn’t diminish the crowd’s enthusiasm.
Giant projection screens that were dozens of meters tall had been set up by the Magus Tower all over the square. They were used to broadcast the exciting scenes of the Magic Caster Tournament live. This was also how the majority of the common people watched the tournament.
However, the giant projection screens were showing the platform right below the Magus Tower now. The king, queen, aristocrats, and magic casters from the Magus Tower were seated in the VIP area. They represented almost all of the Roth Empire’s most powerful stratum. It was obvious how much importance the king attached to the Magic Caster Tournament.
“Is that Princess Vanessa sitting behind the queen? I remember that she hasn’t taken part in public events for a long time.”
“Yes. I haven’t seen her for a long time. She was such an adorable princess, and she’s even more beautiful now.”
“Those people who badmouth her beauty really deserve to die. The princess has perfectly inherited the queen’s beauty.”
Everyone began to converse softly when they saw Vanessa.
“However, why didn’t Prince Josh appear? Is he going to take part in this year’s Magic Caster Tournament?”
“Shhh. How can you gossip about the second prince?!”
There were also people who noticed that Josh didn’t appear. However, in Rodu, both the first prince and the second prince were taboos that couldn’t be mentioned.
The camera turned to Krassu, who was sitting at the left of the king, and cheers instantly erupted from the crowd.
Be it the common citizens or magic casters, they all had the utmost respect for this legendary meritorious magic caster who had single-handedly founded the Magus Tower, and contributed greatly to the promotion of magic.
If the most legendary knight of the Roth Empire was Alex, then the most legendary magic caster of the Roth Empire had to be Krassu.
“That little half-elf girl standing next to Lord Krassu is so adorable! She’s even munching on a drumstick.”
“Is she Lord Krassu’s disciple? She’s so tiny. She looks like she’s only three or four years old. Is she going to take part in today’s Magic Caster Tournament too?
“I don’t think we’ve ever had such a young magic caster before, even in the juvenile section. I think Lord Krassu most likely brought her here to watch the tournament.”
“Yes. All the participants are waiting for the opening down there right now, and she’s still munching on the drumstick, so she definitely isn’t going to take part in the tournament.”
People’s attention was quickly attracted by Amy, who was munching on a drumstick next to Krassu. They couldn’t help discussing her softly.
Right then, a magic caster with half a head of white hair walked to the center of the platform, and pressed his hands down slowly. A powerful aura instantly spread out.
The entire square instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at that magic caster with respect and awe.
Richard, the president of the Magus Tower, and an extremely powerful great magic caster.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s the opening day of the Magic Caster Tournament. I am the president of the Magus Tower, Richard. The Magus Tower is going to ensure that this tournament is fair and just, so we hope that all the magic casters taking part today will obey the rules. Show us your potential, show us your integrity!” Richard’s baritone voice reverberated throughout the square, and he swept his cold gaze across the contestants standing at the side. He paused for a moment before saying, “Now, let us invite His Majesty to give a speech.”
