I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 78 Level 3 Spells

"Well……"

Wilder was somewhat dazed.

As expected of a world of swords and magic, I never dared to dream of such things when I was a student, but today I finally heard them.

However, in retrospect, although Professor Hollen and Miss Fina had a good relationship, they belonged to two completely opposite factions.

Fina is a scribe priestess who focuses on the study of ancient books, while Hollen is clearly more focused on practical combat.

"I went to a Buddhist event with Miss Fina a few days ago."

Wilder explained, "I learned that there was a reward of twenty gold coins for sharing a paper, and since I was somewhat interested, I decided to sign up and chose a paper."

Not wanting to offend either side, he had no choice but to say something that appeased both.

Sure enough, Hollen's expression softened considerably upon hearing this.

"So that's how it is..."

He knew that Wilde was a farm boy, and that his financial situation must be very tight if he embarked on the path of a mage.

Twenty gold coins should be a significant help to him.

Thinking about it this way, he not only stopped being angry, but also felt a pang of pity.

Fina nodded in agreement.

He was indeed interested in academic papers!

As for the fact that the motives weren't entirely pure, she expressed her understanding, saying that making money is not shameful, especially when it comes to sharing documents.

This is the power of knowledge!

Seeing that the two looked normal, Wilder breathed a sigh of relief.

He was all alone in Ironweave Town, and there weren't many people who could help him. Hollen and Fina were his benefactors, and he didn't want to offend either of them.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip.

It has a light and delicate fragrance, and tastes much better than the barley tea at the Mako Hotel that's mixed with the flavor of roasted meat.

Wilder then remembered the purpose of his visit.

He took a small burlap bag from his coat pocket, counted out six gold coins, and pushed it in front of Hollen.

"Mentor Hollen, here are the six gold coins you lent me last time. Thank you for your help," he said sincerely.

"Ah... there's no rush, give it to me later."

Hollen waved his hand, still not recovered from the pity he had just felt.

Moreover, he had just seen Wilder's money bag, which was tattered and emptied, with probably less than ten gold coins left inside.

"You've already helped me so much, and now that I have money, there's no reason for me not to pay you back," Verde said sincerely.

Hollen was stunned.

Six gold coins were nothing to him, but a considerable sum to the young man before him.

Yet he adheres to his principles so firmly, which is truly remarkable.

He's a good kid...

"Okay, I'll accept it."

Hollen put the gold coin in his pocket and added, "If you encounter any more difficulties, feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, Professor Hollen!"

Wilder was delighted that he accepted the money.

If you borrow and repay easily, it will be easy to borrow again.

Only by repaying this loan can we borrow more next time.

Professor Hollen is a good person...

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask Professor Hollen and Miss Fina," Wilder continued.

"Go ahead and say it." The two of them looked at him at the same time.

"Does a mage need to outline the structure of a spell before casting it?"

"Of course, the spell structure is the foundation of all spells."

Fina immediately replied, "While there are contradictions in the documents and ancient texts in various languages, they are completely consistent on this point."

"Outlining the spell's structure is essential."

Hollen chimed in, "If mages could break free from spellcasting codes, wouldn't that make them the most powerful class?"

The two monks from different schools of thought surprisingly shared the same view on this issue.

It seems that the idea that a sorcerer must outline the spell before casting it is deeply ingrained in this world.

Wilder nodded and did not ask any further questions.

This matter involves the system, so it's not appropriate to discuss it directly. He decided to figure it out on his own.

"By the way, Miss Fina."

Wilde then remembered something else, "Do you have any spell scrolls from the bewitching school of mages?"

He planned to learn another bewitching spell to verify whether, as speculated, it could still be cast instantly.

However, the magic supplies store only had three types of bewitching scrolls. Apart from the [Crazy Crown] he bought, the other two were not as good as his specialty.

Therefore, he wanted to try his luck with Fina.

"Yes," Fina nodded. "But why are you interested in the bewitching school? The returns for mages in this field are very low."

"Hmm...but it's quite useful when hunting monsters on quests, it has a control effect," Wilder replied.

"It's true, Fina has gone stupid from reading too much."

Hollen said with a smile, "Low-level bewitching spells are very effective against ordinary monsters. I learned two or three of them back in the day."

"What kinds of training did Instructor Hollen receive back then?" Wilder asked curiously.

"[Eloquent Tongue], [Immobilized Human], and there's another one called [Crazy Crown], right?" he recalled.

Wilder's lips twitched.

Goodness, you have these three things too?

At this moment, Fina moved a wooden box full of scrolls onto the table.

"You choose for yourself."

"it is good."

Wilder's gaze swept over the label on the scroll—

[Eloquent Tongue], [Immobilized Humanoid], [Crazy Crown]...

It's the same old three dishes, as expected.

He then flipped through the pages.

[Turning Beasts into Friends]

"What is the effect of this spell?" he asked.

"Let me think," Fina said, her slender fingers touching her temples. "It seems to be a spell that turns a wild beast into your companion. It's quite an interesting spell."

"A wild beast..."

Wilde pressed further, "Does 'beast' include monsters?"

"Of course not. Monsters aren't as easy to fool as wild beasts."

Fina smiled. "It's more like the monster is pretending to be your ally, then looking for an opportunity to ambush you."

"That's true..."

Wilde flipped through the pages again.

[Quickly make friends]

"What about this one?" he asked.

"This can be used on monsters."

Fina glanced at it. "To have a humanoid creature become your partner, working for you and obeying your commands, for about an hour."

"This is good."

"but--"

Fina shook her head. "This is a level three spell; it's not suitable for you."

"Can't I learn it?" Wilder asked.

"You're a novice mage now, so learning level three spells will be very difficult. But if you study with all your might, you can master them in three to five months."

Hollen interjected, "But [Quick Friendship] is a bewitching spell, which is too difficult for mages. It will take you at least a year, and you might not even be able to learn it in your entire life."

He shook his head and then said:

"It's not worth it, especially for us human mages, since our lives are really limited."

"I see."

Wilder put down the scroll and flipped through it again, only to find that it was gone.

"Is that all?" he asked.

"That's all." Fina shrugged. "This school of magic isn't very useful for mages. I've had these volumes here for a long time."

"Where can I buy other bewitching spells?"

"Ironwe Town is probably out of the question."

Fina explained, "There aren't many mages here to begin with, and they don't sell well, so I have the most complete selection."

"Um……"

Wilder thought for a moment, and his gaze finally fell on the scroll of "Quick Friends".
