Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 178 The Treant Queen's Request

When Agnes saw the handsome man's outstretched hand, she was first taken aback, then hesitated slightly. After a few seconds, she reached out her hand and grasped Wayne's hand, allowing him to pull her up from the ground.

Looking at Wayne's handsome face, she first whispered a thank you, then glanced at the feline beast that had become a corpse on the ground before speaking:

"My name is Agnes. Thank you for saving me, Wayne."

After expressing her gratitude, Agnes looked at Wayne's amber cat eyes and pointed ears, now revealed after he shed his disguise, and hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Under normal circumstances, if the other party is human, as a tree spirit, what she would do is either drive them away or simply kill them.

But now, Wayne not only saved her life, but also appears to be an elven witcher.

The tree spirits had no enmity with the elves; in fact, thousands of years ago, they were comrades who fought against human slaughter.

However, as tree spirits, their race does not have the custom of inviting outsiders as guests. Moreover, Agnes is a young tree spirit who has just come of age, and she has no right to make decisions that go against tradition.

Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him looking somewhat embarrassed, Wayne's smile remained unchanged. He then reached into his waist bag, pulled out a handful of colorful, high-end candies, and handed them to the girl.

"Aegles? What a beautiful name. By the way, we can wait for your companions here together. These are candies I made myself; you've definitely never tasted anything this delicious before."

This candy was meticulously crafted by him using various high-end ingredients. Not only does it taste excellent on its own, but it also benefits from his culinary skills. To put it bluntly, it is the best-tasting candy in the world, and it is specially prepared by him to deal with those naive girls.

Even sorceresses like Triss and Keira, who frequented high-class banquets, praised the candies he made.

Agnes was, after all, an inexperienced tree spirit girl. Faced with the candy Wayne offered her and seeing the gentle smile on the Witcher's face, the tree spirit girl hesitated for a few seconds before finally reaching out to take it.

Then, encouraged by Wayne's gaze, the tree spirit girl quite innocently peeled open a candy and put it in her mouth.

"It's so sweet!"

The moment Agnes ate the candy, her eyes lit up, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on her face, the kind that comes from tasting delicious food, especially sweets.

The tree spirit girl remained silent, her expression sweet, seemingly immersed in the bliss of enjoying her sweets. Wayne, on the other hand, admired the girl's unadorned, exquisitely beautiful body with the gaze of someone appreciating a work of art.

After about a minute or two, Wayne heard some noises and looked up at the treetops a few dozen meters away. Sure enough, he found four tree spirits, also completely naked, standing there with bows and arrows in their hands, looking at Wayne warily.

The two exchanged glances, and the older, plump tree spirit, who seemed to be in the lead, called out to him with a somewhat serious expression:

"Who are you? Why are you in our forest? What did you do to Agnes?"

Perhaps because of the distance, they couldn't see Wayne's face clearly. The older tree spirit's tone was filled with murderous intent, as if if Wayne gave the wrong answer, the tree spirits' arrows would shoot him dead.

Seeing this, Wayne remained calm. He took a step back, moving a distance from Agnes, and then raised his hand to indicate that he was not holding a weapon.

Aglaise, who had been lost in her sweet and delicious meal, was startled awake by her companion's voice. She immediately turned around and said to her companion:

"Malika, don't attack Wayne. He's an elven demon hunter. He just saved me from the black panther in the forest. He's not our enemy."

Upon hearing Agnes's call, the tree spirit named Marika hesitated slightly, but soon walked over from a distance with three other tree spirits.

When they saw Wayne's iconic witcher and elf features, they lowered their guard considerably.

The plump tree spirit named Marika, presumably of higher status, first glanced curiously at Agnes, who was holding some candy, then carefully examined Wayne for a while before bowing to him and speaking sincerely:

"Thank you, Witcher Wayne, thank you for saving my companion Agnes."

"However, I still have to ask, why did you appear inside the Brocleon Forest? And how did you cross our outer perimeter cordon?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne nodded to Marika. By this time, he had already put the magic flying carpet into his storage bag, so the tree spirits had no idea how Wayne had appeared deep in the forest.

After considering this for a few seconds, he spoke:

"Marika, I possess a magical artifact that allows me to fly. Just now, while flying through the Brocleon Forest, I heard Aglaise's cries for help, which is why I stopped to save her."

"However, now that we've encountered you, I'd like to ask you something. As a witcher who accepts various commissions, please ask Her Majesty the Treant Queen if she has any commissions that require our witchers to complete."

"If not? I'll leave this forest soon and go somewhere else?"

Marika probably hadn't expected Wayne to make such a request, but considering his identity as an elven witcher and the fact that he had saved her companion, the voluptuous treant considered for a few seconds before turning to Agnes and the other young treants and saying:

"Aegles, you stay here for now and stay with the Witcher."

"I will return to Duncanar and consult the Queen. Do not act rashly until I return."

After saying this, Marika nodded to Wayne and said:

"Wayne the Witcher, I will report your question to Her Majesty the Queen, but until I tell you the answer, you'd better stay here and not wander off."

"This is the forest of tree spirits, and we do not welcome outsiders."

After saying that, Marika ran quickly in one direction into the forest with great agility and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

After admiring the beautiful figure of the voluptuous tree spirit as she ran, Wayne turned to look at the four young tree spirits beside him.

He wasn't stingy either, taking out some high-end candies from his pouch and giving some to the other three new young tree spirit girls. Agnes, who had already tasted the sweetness, explained the deliciousness of the candies to her three companions with a happy expression.

In no time, the four young tree spirits who were originally ordered to guard Wayne were all immersed in the blissful feeling of tasting the delicious candy.

Wayne wasn't bored either; he took turns looking at the naked bodies of these young tree spirit girls with an appreciative gaze.

Looking at them all, Agnes's figure is still the most beautiful, with curves and abs and a six-pack from regular exercise. She looks quite appetizing, but I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to taste her.

About half an hour later, Marika returned from a distance, bringing with her the answer from the Tree Spirit Queen Aisna.

"Wayne the Witcher, Her Majesty the Queen invites you to our homeland. Duncanar, Her Majesty does indeed have some requests that can be entrusted to you Witchers."

"However, we must blindfold you before we enter Duncanar. Please understand that we cannot let outsiders know where we live."

"But don't worry, we tree spirits are different from humans. We always keep our promises and will never harm you."

Wayne knew this was a tradition of the tree spirits and had no objection to it. Moreover, with his strength and the green dragon light armor he wore, he was not afraid of these tree spirits at all. In this forest, probably only the most powerful tree spirit queen could pose a threat to him.

Ordinary tree spirits posed no threat to the ancient blood and his formidable skills.

Seeing that Wayne had been blindfolded without any resistance, Marika secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then said to the other tree spirit girls:

"Let's go back to Duncanar together."

After saying this, Marika took a moment to glare at Agnes, her tone lecturing:

"You should have been with us, Agnes. If you hadn't run into the Witcher Wayne, you might be seriously injured by now because of your recklessness."
