I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 70 4 seconds

"Sir...would you like me to explain in more detail?"

The shop assistant saw Wilder staring intently at the reel and assumed he was having trouble choosing which one to use.

In fact, you can tell from his clothes that this monk is not well-off, which is quite rare among monks.

Each level 2 spell scroll costs up to five gold coins.

He must be having a very difficult time making this decision.

"Oh..." Wilde snapped out of his daze, "Give me the [Crown of Madness]."

The shop assistant only guessed half of it correctly.

He didn't have a hard time choosing; he had already mastered the advanced versions of the first two spells, so naturally he wouldn't choose them again.

However, his financial situation was indeed not good. Including the reward he received yesterday, he only had a little over five gold coins left.

But he still has the common sense that saving money is not as good as buying combat power.

buy!

"Okay, we've installed it for you."

Before leaving, the shop assistant kindly reminded me:

"It is more difficult for mages to learn bewitching spells, and the preparation time before casting them is also longer. Please don't worry, this is normal."

Thanks.

Wilder took the scroll and left the magic shop, heading straight for the outskirts of Ironweave Town.

In his private space for practicing spells, he sat on the ground with the scrolls spread out in front of him.

With a slight infusion of mana, the spell structure of the [Crown of Madness] slowly emerged on the parchment.

He began to visualize it in his mind.

The structure of level two spells is quite complex, requiring the spell to be divided into two or four parts at each node, which is extremely challenging to control.

It took him more than six hours to learn the [Mirror Image Technique] and more than four hours to learn the [Giant/Shrink Technique], and he is gradually becoming proficient at it.

Bewitching spells are more difficult for mages, and the time required will likely be extended again.

First time.

The magical power slowly and steadily traveled from the first node to the second, and then split in two...

Ok?

Wilder suddenly had a strange feeling.

He steadied himself and continued to draw.

The third node, the fourth, the fifth...

Until the twentieth node, the mana completes the entire structure and returns to the origin.

He blinked, somewhat incredulous.

Is that all?

Logically speaking, the first copy should be the most difficult and slowest, but he didn't even take half an hour.

Is this fucking fake?

He immediately started the second time.

This time it was obviously faster, just over twenty minutes.

The third time, even faster.

……

The tenth time, less than five minutes.

The magical markings on the parchment vanished instantly, and the magical structure was completely etched into his consciousness.

"Is it finished?"

Wilder stood up, somewhat incredulous, his expression bewildered.

From his mentor Hollen to Baggins, and even the shop assistant just now, they all told him that it would be much more difficult for a mage to learn bewitching spells.

But why does it feel simpler than other spells?

Let's give it a try.

His gaze swept across the fields.

Summer tides are approaching, and the planting season has passed. Only a few lazy farmers are catching up on the work.

The outskirts of Ironweave Town are well-maintained; wild animals are almost nowhere to be seen, and small animals hide in the shadows, making them impossible to find.

He looked up and saw a flock of geese flying overhead.

I'll still choose you guys.

He drew his staff from his waist and raised it high.

Mana slowly flowed into the emerald crystal on the staff, and the spell's structure was quietly outlined.

Wilder counted down in his mind.

With his current intelligence, the preparation time for a level one spell is six seconds, and for a level two spell it is eight seconds.

One.

two.

three.

Four.

The tree spirit crystal suddenly lit up, emitting a faint green light.

what?

Wilder paused for a moment, but still aimed at a goose and swung his staff.

A beam of green light shot out from the tip of the staff and struck the poor goose precisely.

The goose paused noticeably, as if it had been put on a marionette.

Wilder's mind raced, and he looked at the goose in front of the other goose.

The bewitched goose let out a honking cry, suddenly flapped its wings and charged forward, stabbing its hard beak into the rear of its companion in front.

"Gah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream.

Wilder: "..."

Wow, so that's how you attack.

After being attacked once, the goose regained consciousness and fluttered its wings blankly.

The one it attacked had already silently flown behind it...

"Gah!!!"

Wilder watched their squawking for a while before finally snapping out of it.

strangeness.

Why is the spell ready in just four seconds?

Was it the tree spirit crystals that had the effect?

Baggins said that this crystal has a beneficial effect on bewitching spells.

He tried releasing it again with his left hand, this time with a preparation time of a little over four seconds.

Obviously, the time for crystal shortening is limited.

Why is that?

He stared ahead and brought up the system panel—

【property】:

Power: 8

Agility: 8

Physical condition: 8

Intelligence: 13

Perception: 8

Charisma: 12

……

My gaze lingered on the "Charm" category.

Is it because of its high appeal of 12 points?

As Mentor Hollen mentioned, the reason why mages cannot master high-level bewitching spells is because they are limited by a certain ability called charm or spiritual power.

Is that its charm?

A level 2 bewitching spell lasting four seconds...

If we further enhance intelligence and charisma, wouldn't it be as instantaneous as special skills?

Wilder moved his gaze upwards—

Name: Wilder

[Class]: Mage

[Level]: Lv3 (850/1000)

……

Oh shit.

I've never wanted to upgrade this much.

……

At midday, Wilde returned to the Colt Inn and enjoyed a simple and inexpensive set meal.

There was no meat, and no wine.

There was nothing I could do; after buying the reels, my wallet was empty again.

"for you."

Ella rolled her eyes at him, but out of respect for his handsome face, she still gave him a free plate of flavored jerky.

"Thank you," Wilder said sincerely.

Ella pursed her lips.

If you want to express your gratitude, then don't have dinner with that girl every night!

But she felt it would be too embarrassing to say it, so she held back.

"By the way, a warrior carrying a round shield came looking for you this morning."

She recalled, "He left you a message, asking you to go to the Adventurers' Guild this afternoon."

Thanks!

Wilder immediately realized who it was.

After a quick lunch, he immediately headed to the Adventurers' Guild.

Sure enough, Cyrion was standing in front of the notice board in the lobby, carrying the project shield on his back.

This is said to be a training method for soldiers; they never leave their large shields and are always carrying heavy loads. He always adhered to this principle.

Besides Cyrion, Gru and Lyle are also there.

Lyle's injuries appear to have fully healed, and he exudes a certain menacing aura, suggesting that his archery skills have likely improved.

"Little one, we've been waiting for you!"

Gru grinned as usual, jumped up, and patted Wilder on the shoulder. "Our four-man team is finally complete again!"

Lyle and Cyrion smiled at him too.

"Yes, we've collected them all again!"

Wilder smiled.

Not only have they been assembled, but they are now even stronger than before.
