I am the Enchantress!

Chapter 80 It Feels So Good to Be Young

The last time Wilder stayed up all night was in college, playing League of Legends online with his roommates at an internet cafe.

His favorite game character is Ahri.

She was a rather alluring little fox, and Wilder even saved up money to buy her several skins.

But as he got older, he disliked staying up late more and more.

Later, I worked hard to pass the civil service exam in order to reduce overtime and avoid working all night.

"It's been so long since I stayed up until dawn, I really miss it."

Wilder gazed at the pale dawn sky in the distance, stretched lazily, and surprisingly didn't feel particularly tired.

At eighteen, the body is perfect for staying up all night.

Although he felt very hungry, he didn't rush back to the Colt Inn.

Now that I've mastered the new spell, I should definitely try it out.

After all, Hollen said it would take a mage a year and a half to master this spell, but he learned it in one night. He would feel uneasy if he didn't test its effectiveness.

The only problem is that it's not easy to find a target for the spell.

This is within Ironweave Town, where there are definitely no monsters, and it's barely dawn, so you can't even find a trace of wild beasts.

Just then, a flock of geese flew overhead.

"Well……"

Wilder was a little embarrassed; every time he tested a spell, this thing seemed to reappear right above his head.

"But if I don't follow your example, there's no one else."

He raised his staff high and slowly infused his magic into the crystal, beginning to outline the spell structure for [Quick Friendship].

"one."

"two."

As soon as he finished speaking, the emerald crystal instantly emitted a burst of light.

Level 2 bewitching spells are instant cast.

Level 3 requires two seconds of preparation time.

Wilder had no time to think; the flock of geese overhead was about to fly away in the blink of an eye.

With a slight thought, a beam of green light shot out from the crystal on the tip of his staff, striking the unluckiest goose.

"Gah!"

……

At five o'clock in the morning, the streets of Tiewen Town were still quiet.

Some of the shops that opened early were cleaning up, and basins of water were being poured onto the bluestone pavement, making the stones gleam more and more each day.

The shops owned by drunkards remained closed; their morning had not yet arrived, and they were probably still immersed in a dream of revelry.

Maju Hotel is now open for business.

Although most of the breakfast items were still on the stove, the daily wild fruit and oat porridge had already been cooked and filled a large wooden bucket.

There were only two or three customers in the shop who didn't sleep well, and Martha was wiping down the tables.

Just then, the hotel door was pushed open, and a rather handsome young man walked in.

"Mr. Wilder?"

Ella stopped what she was doing and went to greet her. "Don't tell me you just risked your life to come back?"

"Good morning, Ella."

Wilder greeted him politely and replied, "I didn't go on any adventures; I just spent one night learning magic in the suburbs."

"What? You studied all night?"

Ella looked at him in surprise.

The young monk had initially attracted her only with his handsome face, but now the affection she felt for him seemed to have become more complex and profound.

So he's such a hardworking person.

"but……"

She looked up at Wilder's left shoulder. "What's with this goose? Is it your companion?"

"It..."

Wilder was about to train the goose like a magician when it suddenly twitched its entire body and its eyes became much sharper.

"Gah!!!"

It pecked Wilder's shoulder hard with its sharp beak, then flapped its wings and left the Colt Inn.

The time limit for 【Quick Friends】has just expired.

"It... lived a life of unbridled freedom."

Wilder smiled. "Do you have anything to eat in the shop right now? I've been starving all night."

"Wait."

Ella told him to sit down, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Not long after, she returned to Wilder with a wooden plate.

A bowl of oatmeal, a serving of toast with butter, and a plate of smoked sausage with eggs were placed on the table in that order.

"I'll have the chef make you a separate serving first."

Ella held the plates behind her back with both hands and said with a hint of pride.

Thank you so much.

Wilder was starving and immediately began to wolf down his food, finishing it all in no time.

"Thanks."

He nodded at Ella, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

Anyone who has ever stayed up all night knows that sleepiness often comes quickly after breakfast, and Wilder could barely keep his eyes open at this point.

"Mr. Wilder, go back upstairs and get some sleep." Ella helped him up the stairs.

"Okay, sure."

"Oh, right," she suddenly said, "that warrior with the round shield came again last night. He said the situation has changed and he wants to meet you at the association at 2 p.m. today."

"I understand, thank you for passing on the message."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ella asked worriedly. "How about I go to the association this afternoon and tell them you're still resting?"

"No need, I'll definitely be awake by then."

After saying that, Wilder stepped onto the stairs and went up to the second floor.

Talia's room was right next to his; the door was tightly closed, so she was probably still asleep.

Wilder glanced at it and then went back to his house.

Without even changing his clothes, he collapsed onto the not-so-comfortable wooden bed and fell asleep very comfortably.

……

When I woke up, it was already afternoon.

Wilder was confident he could wake up before 2 a.m. because he had experience with this.

When he stayed up all night in college, he would usually return to his dormitory around 5 or 6 o'clock, have a good sleep, and wake up around 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time of day, the sun is shining brightly, the campus is quiet, and the cafeteria isn't too crowded.

That pleasant state of mind left a deep impression on him.

After starting work, he never experienced that feeling again.

At this very moment, the bright sunlight streamed through the wooden window frame of the hotel room, quietly illuminating a corner of the bed.

A gentle breeze stirred the coarse linen curtains and caressed his cheeks.

Quiet and pleasant.

In this world of swords and magic, so far removed from the past, he seemed to rediscover the feeling of that time.

He got out of bed, washed up, and immediately felt refreshed, with no signs of fatigue from staying up all night.

"It feels so good to be young."

He pushed open the door and left the room, going to the tavern on the first floor.

Not seeing Talia, he ate a lunch set meal with fried fish by himself at a side table before heading to the Adventurers' Guild.

We arrived precisely at 2 PM.

Cyrion and his group had arrived, and several of them were chatting by Martha's counter.

Wilder walked over and greeted them once.

"Captain, weren't we supposed to meet again tomorrow? Why is it earlier?" he asked.

"Ah... Martha was supposed to be off today, but she suddenly had to work overtime, so I'm free now."

Cyrion smiled. "I went to find Gru and found that he was in good shape, so I decided to come to the association to take on the mission as soon as possible."

"The association even has overtime work?"

Wilder believed that the Adventurers' Guild, like state-owned enterprises in the old world, never required overtime.

"It wasn't supposed to be added."

Martha sighed, "The association headquarters sent people to investigate the forest fire. Many people were transferred to assist, so we were short-handed and I had to fill in."
