I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 11 Bounty

no……

Why are you getting involved if you don't have money?

Wilder was speechless for a moment.

Especially looking at the girl's serious yet innocent expression, it seemed she wasn't joking.

So it turns out there are people in this world who are this abstract...

"Never mind then, I only need cash."

Wilder didn't want to get entangled with her any longer, so he stuffed the thirty silver coins back into his hand and turned to return to Lingzhubaozhai.

"Wait!" the girl called out to him. "I really need that dragon scale!"

Wilder nodded, understanding her feelings; after all, he also needed five million gold coins and a luxurious manor spanning tens of thousands of square meters.

But who would give it to him for free?

"Don't waste your breath, goodbye!" He waved and turned to leave.

"No!"

The girl suddenly grabbed his arm from behind, saying, "You can't leave!"

Wilder was taken aback.

It wasn't because of her actions, but because of her hands...

It's so hot.

No wonder he wanted to get his dragon scales for free; he must have had a fever that messed up his brain.

He tried to pull harder, but she held on quite tightly, and he couldn't break free no matter what he did, which made his arm hurt a little.

Wilder didn't want to fight a girl, but his newly unlocked specialization seemed like a good opportunity to test it out.

With a thought, the [command] is activated.

Instantly, a surge of power burst forth from my body, flowing through my blood and coursing throughout my entire being, creating a taut, heavy feeling, like a water balloon about to burst.

He could sense that this power would burst forth as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Let go!"

Two deafening words burst from his mouth, the sound accompanied by fluctuations of magical power, causing the giant tree in front of him to tremble slightly.

call……

The release of pleasure swept through my entire body.

Wilder was overjoyed. What an amazing ability!

But the next second, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Why is my arm still so hot?

Looking down, he saw that the girl's hand was still gripping him tightly!

Why isn't it working?

Hey!

Is this supposed to be a fake expertise?

Instead, the girl noticed that Wilder's expression suddenly became unusually serious, and thought that her actions had frightened him, so she slowly let go of his hand.

"I'm sorry, I was in too much of a rush..."

Wilder frowned and looked up: "You..."

"I may not have enough money right now, but I'll earn it for you right away! Not a single gold coin will be missing!"

The girl clasped her small hands together and looked at him with a sincere expression.

It doesn't seem like an act.

Unless she also possesses the ability of an actor, but this kind of ability granted by the system doesn't exist in this world itself, at least not in Wilde's memories.

"How are you going to make money?" Wilder asked.

He still has nearly three gold coins in savings, so he's not in a hurry to sell the dragon scales. If someone can pay more, he naturally won't refuse.

But this slender girl in front of me can't do any heavy work, and she doesn't seem like an adventurer. What is she going to do to earn five gold coins?

Wilder expressed his doubts.

"I heard there's an adventurers' guild in town, and I'm planning to go there to take on quests and earn money," she replied earnestly.

"You're going on an adventure?" Wilder was taken aback.

"Um."

What is your profession?

"I..." The girl paused, then nodded to herself, "I am an assassin."

"Huh?" Wilder chuckled. "You're not talking about assassins, are you?"

"Yes! It's an assassin!" She nodded emphatically.

Wilder nodded in agreement.

Installed.

Especially compared to her previous sincerity, her pretense is now extremely obvious.

However, Wilder didn't call him out on it, since he was going to the same place again on his next trip anyway.

"I happen to have some business at the Adventurers' Guild. I can show you the way so you can accept a quest," he offered.

"Okay!" the girl agreed, then looked at the scales in his hand, "Those dragon scales..."

"I'll sell it to you after you finish the task and get your reward. I won't sell it to anyone else in the meantime."

"it is good."

"Let's go then."

Wilder didn't believe at all that a girl who called "assassins" "killers" could accept an adventure mission; he just thought it was something to watch for fun.

More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the Adventurers' Guild.

The place remained the same as always, with hordes of adventurers crammed into the hall, the air thick with the stench of blood and sweat, and occasionally the pungent smell of loot.

In front of the bulletin board in the center of the hall, Wilder and the girl stood together, looking up at the list of tasks written densely on parchment.

[Task ID]: DI996

[Task Type]: Cleanup

[Mission Location]: Outskirts of Border Forest, coordinates R·7

[Mission Description]: A fully grown [Bear Goblin] leader and more than twenty [Goblins] have recently been frequently attacking caravans and logging groups passing through this area, potentially causing the deaths of twenty people and seriously threatening the safety and livelihoods of the surrounding community.

[Quest Reward]: Hunting a bear goblin rewards 10 gold coins, and each goblin killed rewards 3 silver coins.

[Task Level]: Hard

[Mission Qualifications]: The party must possess an Adventurer's Guild badge of Silver Rank or higher.

……

Wilde remembered that the quest to clear out the kobolds was on the "easy" level, and Cyrion needed a brass badge to accept that quest.

The more rewarding "difficult" missions require higher-level badges.

This is understandable.

Otherwise, there would definitely be adventurers who don't know their own limitations and take on tasks that don't match their abilities. Losing their lives is one thing, but it would delay the completion of the task.

Of course, there are always exceptions, and some missions do not require badges.

[Task ID]: X058

[Task Type]: Bounty

[Mission Location]: Heart of the Border Forest, Coordinates Q5

[Mission Description]: Intelligence indicates that an adult [Burning Soul Hound] has been spotted nearby. An employer requires 30 ounces of its blood as an ingredient for crafting a potion.

[Task Reward]: 500 Gold Coins

[Task Level]: Undetermined

[Task Eligibility]: Unrestricted

[Important Notes]: Bounty missions are not handled by a single team. Once the employer's requirements are met, the mission ends immediately without any compensation.

……

Bounty missions that do not yet pose a threat to human activities and are solely for the purpose of fulfilling the employer's needs typically do not require badges.

The Adventurers' Guild is not the official quest organizer, but rather an intermediary for employers. The employer ultimately pays the reward, and the guild only takes a fixed percentage.

This task is not simple.

Just like exams with "no restrictions on three things," the competition is often the most intense, and the task itself is extremely difficult, even exceeding the level of "difficult."

As far as Wilder knew, the Soul-Burning Hound was not only extremely agile, but more terrifyingly, it possessed the ability to breathe fire, making it a rather dangerous high-ranking monster.

Such tasks are usually left to professional adventurers who parachute into Ironweave Town, or to specialized adventure teams.

"You don't have the Adventurers' Guild badge, so you'll need to team up with someone to do the quest."

Wilder said something, but no one responded.

When he turned his head, the girl beside him had already disappeared.

What about people?

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd ahead, and Wilder instinctively looked up.

A girl with long, brown, curly hair was seen stretching out her fair arm and deftly peeling off the quest list for the [Burning Soul Hound].
