I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 144 Acting Alone

There are only two types of missions in the guild that do not restrict the level of adventurers or parties.

One type is beginner-level quests, which can be done even without badges.

Another type is bounty missions.

These types of tasks are usually proposed by specific employers, rather than by associations.

The association only provides a publicity platform and takes a 20% cut after the task is completed.

Since these types of missions are usually not urgent and do not threaten public safety, no level requirement is required for adventurers or parties.

Mr. Louis at the apothecary needs three kinds of plants.

This falls into this category of bounty missions.

This is a task that even Talia can register for and perform.

Wilder then realized that Talia was most likely to be there.

Could she have gone off to do this mission?!

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

Cyrion brought up the commission while they were having breakfast at the Colt Inn, and Talia was also present.

Moreover, she repeatedly confirmed that the reward for each plant was one gold coin.

This guy—

That's when I definitely decided to take on this mission!

"Martha————"

Wilder was about to ask her to help check the registration list for this mission, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

"What's wrong?" Martha asked.

"Um—could you let us cut in line?"

Wilder pointed to the crowd huddled around the counter, trying to get information about the investigation team and the Red Dragon.

"No problem, please follow me."

Martha smiled. "Come with me."

She led her team to the side of the counter, greeted the staff guarding the side door, and led them directly into the backstage area.

"Flora, do me a favor! Help them with the delivery," Martha said.

"Okay, senior!"

Flora had long been fed up with the adventurers at the front desk who were always trying to find out information.

At first, those guys were indeed discussing the survey team and the red dragon, but gradually they started asking some very strange questions.

What's your name?

Why haven't I seen you before?

Is he new here?

Does she have a man?

Want to grab breakfast together after get off work?

So annoying!

Now I finally have a reason to get away.

"Hello! I'm here to deliver your mission!" she said warmly.

Cyrion nodded and took out their spoils from their backpacks one by one.

The left ears of two two-headed giants, and the thigh tendons of two two-headed giants.

The left ears of twelve ordinary kobolds and the same number of scales.

The left ear and corresponding scales of a kobold leader.

There were also a few small items found in the kobold's den:

Two rings set with cheap gemstones, and a rusty, peeling headband.

"Besides these, there's this too."

Cyrion took a small burlap sack from his pocket and carefully unfolded it.

Inside were five red amanita mushrooms, seven viper roots, and eight dragon root grasses.

That's all.

As he spoke, Cyrion handed over three task lists.

One was for two-headed giants, one was for freely hunting kobolds, and the other was for a newly registered plant-gathering bounty of 0.

"Okay, just a moment!"

Although Flora is a new teller, she is very efficient and fits the stereotype of a newcomer perfectly.

She calculated the amount quickly, and soon she had the final amount on the parchment.

However, just like last time, she checked at least three more times before confirming the number.

"The two-headed giant's fixed reward is thirty gold coins, and his tendons are worth five gold coins."

"Ordinary kobolds receive a fixed reward of thirty-six silver coins, scale-armored kobolds twenty-four silver coins, kobold leaders five gold coins, and scale-armored kobolds one gold coin and fifty silver coins."

O

"Three pieces of inferior jewelry, totaling fifty silver."

"Bounty quest: Three types of plants, totaling twenty gold coins."

She paused, circled the number written on the parchment with her ink pen, and finally said, "A total of sixty-two gold and sixty silver."

"Congratulations! This mission was incredibly fruitful!"

The last sentence is a phrase Martha often uses, and at this moment she is standing aside nodding in satisfaction.

Flora then opened the cash register, took out the money, put it in a bag, and handed it to Cyril.

The entire delivery process was completed smoothly and efficiently.

Thanks.

Cyrion remained extremely restrained in his words and actions throughout, especially since Martha was standing right next to him.

For this mission, each member of the team will receive a whopping ten gold and forty silver coins, which is an incredibly generous amount.

Moreover, they even managed to see the red dragon without any major incident, making their trip truly worthwhile.

Everyone wore satisfied smiles.

Except for Wilder.

He was increasingly convinced that Talia had accepted the bounty and gone deep into the forest.

But now is not the time to say that.

Through the association's window, the outside world was already shrouded in a thick darkness.

It's 11:30 at night.

This is the most dangerous time in the border forest, and the heartland, where high-level monsters frequently appear, is a forbidden area for almost all adventurers.

Wilder didn't want his teammates to take this risk with him.

They weren't particularly close to Talia, but because of Wilde, they would definitely accompany him deep into the forest without hesitation.

Too dangerous.

Moreover, the purpose of this trip is not to hunt monsters, but to find someone.

Having a large number of people isn't necessarily a good thing; it can actually increase the risk of being discovered by high-level monsters.

Therefore, he had already made the decision to go find Talia alone.

Cyrion then asked Flora for several money pouches and split the reward equally on the spot.

Before parting, Cyrion specifically instructed, "Wilde, if it comes to Talia, don't hesitate to ask us for help."

Wilder nodded.

"You guys go ahead, I'm going upstairs to say hello to Fina and Hollen."

Afterwards, the team members and Martha left the association together.

Wilder didn't go to the second floor; he only walked around the first floor.

After confirming that they had gone far away, he jogged back to the counter.

The information had been gathered quite a bit, and there were no longer many people left in the association.

Wilder easily squeezed to the front of the counter.

"Hello, Flora."

"Wild".

Surprisingly, Flora remembered his name. "Why are you back again?"

"I need your help," Wilder said, getting straight to the point.

"you say!"

"Could you check if anyone named Talia has registered for the bounty mission that Louis commissioned?"

Wilder said.

Logically speaking, the adventurer's registration information is considered private, and the teller should not be able to help them check it.

But for some reason, Flora agreed without hesitation.

As for the reason, she herself couldn't explain it.

Looking at Wilder's calm yet undeniably complex face, she felt a strange tension creeping into her, as if she were being infected by some kind of charm.

We must help him!

"Hold on!"

She immediately pulled out a booklet and began to flip through it quickly and attentively.

A brief silence fell.

suddenly.

"Got it!"

She suddenly looked up and said, "Yesterday afternoon at one o'clock, Talia did register for that bounty mission."

Wilder took a deep breath.

A stone fell to the ground.

Another stone is suspended.

Thanks.

He expressed his sincere gratitude.

Then, he led Bruce away from the association in a hurry.
