Your taxi for the next adventure! &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00abLet&#8217;s not joke. I\u2019m entitled to eat some food and get some rest after each and every mission: please take me to the nearest five-star hotel. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Actually, I&#8217;ll take you to a better place!&#8221; Exclaims the Hippogriff: there is a friend who wants to meet you to reveal a secret about Orlando. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00abA despot who pays little! I know all I should know about him. Let&#8217;s go eat, which is better. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00abBut you\u2019ve never seen the Earthly Paradise. If you knew how to eat well &#8230; &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The two arrive in a wonderful place, full of restaurants and snack bars. When Astolfo is about to sit down and order his meal, an elderly guy arrives and asks him to take a walk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can&#8217;t we talk while we eat?&#8221; <strong>Astolfo<\/strong> protests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s no time for that. You\u2019ll eat when this mission is over. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And who would you be now? &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00abI\u2019m Saint John the Evangelist. You must know that your boss is mad and furious. He has actually lost his wisdom. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had no doubts,&#8221; says Astolfo. &#8220;So, what do you do? Shall I resign? &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No! I&#8217;ll take you to the place where all the things lost by men are found. There you will recover Orlando&#8217;s precious wisdom and bring it back to him, so the war can end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope it&#8217;s close because I have a fam &#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On the moon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the two, at supersonic speed, cross the celestial vault to the moon. Astolfo smells a good scent as they land on the uneven and white surface, soft to the touch and so inviting that he can&#8217;t help but peel off a piece and taste it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But it&#8217;s &#8230; it\u2019s&#8230;cheese!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The wisdom!&#8221; The saint screams:&#8221;You should be looking for it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But hunger prevails and happy Astolfo devours an entire portion of the <strong>moon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abFragrant, light, nutritious. Good for paladins of all ages. \u00bb An inhabitant of the moon explains as Astolfo feeds on the top of a mound of soft cheese.<\/p>\n<p>\u00abIts name is Montasio. It is particularly suitable for feeding heroes because of its energetic nutrients: <strong>proteins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins<\/strong>\u2026 and it is naturally lactose-free, so it is digestible and does not hinder the missions. By the way: why are you here? &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m looking for my boss&#8217;s wisdom!&#8221; Astolfo answers with his mouth full while sitting on those delicious humpbacks.
