I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 65 3-person team

"sure."

Wilder agreed almost without hesitation.

He then added, "However, since it's a difficult mission, I suggest adding another person."

In fact, he had a great deal of confidence in Joffrey's character.

In the last mission, he not only risked his life to save Cyrion from the jaws of the Shark Lizard Beast, but also took the initiative to act as bait in the tactical maneuver.

Having worked among a group of shrewd individuals in his previous life, Wilder learned how to judge people through observation and experience, even without deliberately studying anything.

In his eyes, Joffrey would never harm him.

However, having spent so much time among shrewd people, he couldn't help but keep a watchful eye on things just in case.

As the saying goes, "two people shouldn't look into a well," it's always better to have someone else with you.

Moreover, difficult-level monsters are inherently difficult to deal with, so a group of three would generally have a smoother experience.

"no problem."

Joffrey narrowed his eyes, seemingly noticing his concerns, but didn't take them to heart.

"Shall we add this lady?"

He glanced at Talia, who was squatting next to Wilder; he had noticed earlier that the two of them had come to the notice board together.

Upon hearing this, Talia stood up.

She glanced at Joffrey, then at Wilder, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Wilder shook his head.

Calling a third person would be for my own protection, but if I added Talia, I would have to keep an eye on her instead.

"It's not her; your professions overlap."

Wilder looked at Talia. "If I remember correctly, you're an assassin, aren't you?"

That's how she introduced herself when we first met.

"They're assassins," she corrected.

That's how Wilder corrected him when they first met.

"Oh right, the assassin."

Wilder waved his hand apologetically, "Anyway, it clashes with Joffrey's class, so we still need a warrior who can tank damage."

"oh."

Talia vaguely felt that Wilder was deceiving her, so she pouted and squatted down to choose a task again.

"The warriors are definitely better," Joffrey nodded. "Do you have anyone in mind?"

"Gru Bar".

Wilde replied.

Cyrion and Lyle are still recovering from their injuries, while Gru is just lacking energy. He should be fine after resting for a day.

"That interesting dwarf?" Joffrey smiled. "Sure."

The two reached an agreement and went to the counter together to register for the task.

When they returned, Talia had already chosen her mission.

[Task ID]: R241

[Task Type]: Gathering

[Mission Location]: Outskirts of the Border Forest, coordinates A.8-A.9

[Task Description]: Gather [Burnt Grass], mostly found in flat, loose soil open areas.

[Task Reward]: 50 copper coins per bush

[Task Level]: Novice

[Task Eligibility]: Unrestricted

……

"this."

Perhaps because Wilder always glanced at her task list, this time she simply handed it over voluntarily.

"Burnt grass?" Wilde muttered.

Talia pulled out a "Frontier Forest Plant Atlas" from her robe, turned to a page, and pointed to it with her slender finger.

"this."

Wilder looked over and saw a dark brown grass with white stripes.

He shifted his gaze back to the task list in his hand and said:

"My mission area is B.9, and yours is near A.9. We'll be traveling the same way tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go register then."

She took the list back and went straight to the counter.

Joffrey never left. Seeing Talia walk away, he raised an eyebrow and asked Wilder:

"Your woman?"

"Uh..." Wilder shook his head, "Just friends."

Joffrey laughed: "Excuse my bluntness, but if you're just friends, you're worrying way too much."

"IMHO."

Wilder shrugged. "As a teammate, you're meddling way too much."

……

When Talia returned after registering for the mission, Joffrey had already left.

Area B.9 isn't exactly close, so they agreed to meet at the town gate at 6 a.m. the next morning.

Wilder and Talia left the association and went to the Porcupine Inn, where Gru was staying.

Sure enough, the guy was still sleeping and hadn't left the house all day.

Isn't it one minute?

Why are you in such a sorry state?

Wilder asked the innkeeper to leave him a message, and then returned to the Colt Inn with Talia.

After dinner, they each went back to their rooms.

Sitting on the not-so-comfortable wooden bed, Wilder charged a [Magic Missile] into his oak staff.

Compared to the previous ruby, Wilder could sense that the internal space of the tree spirit crystal was larger, but otherwise there was no difference.

After all, this thing only benefits spells that target bewitching or control.

He made up his mind that once he finished this mission and received his reward, he would buy a scroll of bewitching spells to try it out.

Before going to bed, he took out the book he had borrowed from Fina, "The Relationship Between Alchemy and Spells," and started reading.

He chose this book for two reasons: first, it was thin, and second, the title contained the word "alchemy".

Smelting gold?

But after reading the first page, he understood that "alchemy" here simply refers to the refining of potions or poisons, and has nothing to do with gold.

I suffered from my lack of education again.

The Elvish language in the documents wasn't difficult for him, but the content itself was so tedious that it reminded him of the pain he experienced in high school chemistry class.

"Li Pipeng from Qinghai..."

After reading only two pages, he covered his face with the parchment and quickly fell asleep.

……

The next morning.

Wilder and Talia had breakfast on the first floor of the hotel and then set off for the town gate.

Gru had arrived and was struggling to tear off a piece of jerky.

"Good morning, Gru," Wilde greeted.

"Little guy, next time you pass a message, don't tell the hotel owner. Just tell the staff."

His eyes darted around, and he added, "Jessica would be best; she has the best figure."

"Well……"

Wilder smiled and shook his head, introducing to Talia, "This is Gru, one of my teammates."

"Gru, this is Talia, she's going the same way as us."

Gru nodded. He had seen her at the association before, and although Wilder denied it, he knew she was his lover.

"Has Joffrey not arrived yet?" Wilder asked.

"As usual, we've set off to scout ahead."

Gru finally bit off a piece of jerky and chewed it contentedly. "Let's set off too, or by the time we get there, that burrowing worm will probably have been slaughtered by the wanderers."

The group set off.

After traveling for about two hours, they arrived at area A.9, where the burnt grass that Talia wanted to collect grew.

Leaving her there, Wilder and Gru continued straight south.

Another hour later, they arrived at the mission location.

Joffrey was already waiting there.

"Did you find that beast?" Gru asked.

Joffrey shook his head and smiled slightly:

"But I discovered wormholes."
