I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 24 Good Relationship

Wilder returned to the Colt Inn at seven o'clock in the evening, which was the busiest time there.

As he pushed open the door, the crisp aroma of beer and the rich fragrance of stew wafted out, making his stomach feel empty.

The enthusiastic and fiery waitress Ella was carrying trays among the slightly tipsy diners, but she still spotted Wilder as soon as he entered.

"Just got back from an adventure? Let me find you a seat!"

She brought her pink lips close to Wilder's ear and whispered, "Tonight's beef was just delivered from the Amn Valley, it's exceptionally fresh!"

Wilder swallowed hard.

"I'll go back to my room first, and then have dinner later."

"Okay!" Ella winked playfully.

Wilder walked up to the second floor of the hotel and stopped in front of the second-to-last room at the end of the corridor.

If I remember correctly, Talia lives in this room.

"Thump."

"Knock knock".

Wilder didn't continue hitting the ball.

People with big appetites usually sleep well; she's probably already asleep.

Back in his room, Wilder took off his clothes, which were covered in mud and grass, wiped himself with a damp towel, changed into the only other set of clean clothes he had, and went downstairs.

Following Ella's suggestion, Wilder ordered a large portion of smoked beef shoulder, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated with herb sauce, and looked quite tempting.

The side dishes included freshly baked garlic and butter bread, soft mashed potatoes, and a large glass of aromatic aged ale.

It cost four silver coins, which was quite extravagant.

But for an adventurer who has just returned from the brink of death, this is not excessive, and he is even missing a girl to drink and chat with.

"Gru is probably telling jokes to a girl right now, isn't he?"

Wilder chuckled to himself, took a sip of the strong ale, and began to eat alone.

There's a reason why the Colt Inn is so popular: the food is not only delicious but also comes in huge portions. Wilder spent more than half an hour eating and barely finished half of the roast beef.

At that moment, the hotel door was pushed open.

A cool night breeze swept by, making Wilder's slightly flushed cheeks feel refreshed, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

Talia.

Compared to the last time they met, she wasn't as disheveled this time, but she certainly wasn't composed either.

Her light brown linen robe was stained with dirt, her long brown hair was messily tied up, and her lips were almost bloodless, blending into her pale cheeks.

"Talia!"

Wilder called out, and Talia, who was about to head towards the stairs, noticed him, staggered over, and sat down opposite him.

"Where...have you been?"

"Just got back from a mission."

"You went to the association to take on another mission?" Wilder was taken aback.

"Yes, I went at noon."

"What's the mission this time?"

"A bounty is offered for the collection of fire toad scales," she replied.

Wilder frowned.

Last time it was a Soul-Burning Hound, this time it's a Fire Toad. Does this girl have a grudge against fire-breathing monsters?

"Have you finished?"

Talia shook her head, a dejected expression on her face: "We failed."

"Never fought one?"

As far as he knew, the Fire Toad, like the Phase Spider, was a magical creature, and its difficulty was at least at the hard level.

"no."

"That is?"

"The fire toad... is gone."

"Well……"

Talia blinked, as if suddenly remembering something, and immediately changed her words: "What I meant was... I couldn't find it."

"Oh, that happens all the time. We missed a giant spider on this mission too," Wilder said, trying to comfort us.

"So, have you completed your mission?"

"Well, although we killed one less monster, we encountered other monsters, and the reward was quite generous."

At this point, Wilder took out his money bag, counted out twenty-three silver coins, and handed them over.

"You didn't complete the mission, so you're probably out of money again, right? Here's what you left with me, take it back."

Talia shook her head: "This is a deposit for the scales."

"I will not be selling the scales for the time being."

This is the truth. First, Martha advised him to wait until the forest fire was over before taking action. Second, he now has ten gold coins and is not short of money.

But Talia stubbornly shook her head, as if she was afraid Wilder would change his mind if she didn't get the deposit.

Wilder had no choice but to take the money back, and asked curiously, "Why do you want that scale so much?"

"Because..." Talia slightly raised her fair chin, finally coming up with a reason, "It looks good."

"Oh." Wilder shrugged.

If you don't want to talk about it, then don't.

This person's lying skills are worse than a child's.

However, almost every adventurer in this town has a secret, including himself, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"that……"

Talia asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Could you give me three silver coins from my deposit?"

She stared at the beef on Wilder's plate and swallowed hard.

Wilder gave a wry smile.

He really is like a little kid.

"Let me treat you to dinner," he said generously. "Consider it interest on the deposit."

Talia slightly widened her pale blue eyes.

"Thanks."

Ultimately, she couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food and her hunger, and accepted the offer.

"You're eating the same as me, right?" Wilder said quietly. "I get along well with the waitress here, and she told me that the beef is very fresh today."

"I see," Talia nodded, "Then I'll eat the same thing as you."

Wilder beckoned, and Ella, who was still busy, immediately jogged over, her apron revealing glimpses of her cleavage beneath its fluttering fabric.

"Please order this lady the same thing as me."

Wilder counted out four silver coins from his pocket and handed them to Ella.

Ella took the money and paused for a moment. Following his gaze, she turned slightly to the side and saw Talia sitting opposite her.

Immediately, the enthusiasm on his face cooled down.

"Okay, wait."

After saying that, she clutched the money and left the table without looking back.

"Wild".

Talia leaned forward slightly and asked softly, "Didn't you say... you and her got along well?"

"Well……"

Wilder didn't know how to answer.

She and I did get along quite well when you weren't around.

With you around, things seem different.

……

After dinner, the night outside the hotel window was already deep.

Wilder and Talia went upstairs to the second floor and returned to their respective rooms.

Lying on the wooden bed, Wilder stared at the ceiling for a moment, and a semi-transparent light screen slowly appeared before his eyes.

Name: Wilder

[Class]: Mage

[Level]: Lv2 (260/300)

[Spells]: Grease, Oil the soles of the feet, Burning hands

……

Ok?

He discovered a strange place.

After using Burning Hand to kill the giant spider, he clearly remembered that his experience points increased from 110 to 140.

How come it's now 260?

That's a full 120 more.

Is it the experience gained from killing Phase Spiders?

But in the end, it was clearly Cyrion who did it himself...

and many more.

Could it be that because I used a "command" to make him do it, he attributed the experience to me as well?

Wilder was pleasantly surprised.

Look at the number (260/300) in front of you.

He inexplicably felt an urge to increase 260 to 300.
