I am the Enchantress!

When Cyrion first expressed his feelings to Martha, he said, "Let's be friends."

When Gru wanted to take the girl upstairs for the night, he said, "Let's be friends."

As Lyle stood in the dense forest, trying to evoke a connection with nature, he said, "Let's be friends."

When Joffrey was alone, he also told himself to "make a friend".

But they had never heard of anyone wanting to befriend monsters.

are you crazy?

However, Wilder's expression was one of confidence, even with a hint of excitement.

It's finally going to come in handy.

"Don't move!!!"

【instruction】

The kobold trembled, its pupils went blank for a moment, and it stood there stunned.

Wilder then raised his staff and began preparing the spell [Quick Friendship].

two seconds.

The moment the kobold regained consciousness, a beam of eerie green light shot out from the bright crystal and struck it.

"Haba..."

The kobold grunted, its whole body trembled, and its eyes lost their light once more.

Then, a rather eerie yet benevolent expression appeared on its face.

Wilder tried to say something:

"Bahala".

(hello.)

The kobold immediately responded:

"Bahala!"

(Hello!)

Its voice was restrained and gentle, with a hint of flattery and ingratiation.

The other teammates were stunned.

They actually started chatting with the kobolds?

They seemed to be having a pretty harmonious conversation.

It is precisely this harmony that exudes a strange and eerie quality.

They are enemies, how can they possibly be harmonious!

"It's a new spell I learned called [Quick Friendship]," Wilder explained. "Within an hour, it will consider me a friend, obey my commands, and do things for me."

"Ah... I see."

Cyrion nodded thoughtfully.

From [Command Spell] to [Crazy Crown], and now [Quick Friends] is here—

This kid seems to be getting better and better at manipulating the enemy's mind.

He thought to himself that he had embarked on a very special path as a mage.

By this time, Wilder had already exchanged several sentences fluently with the kobold.

"Little guy," Gru asked curiously, "what are you talking about with this beast?"

"Oh, I was asking how many kobolds were in its lair, whether it had a leader, and how many treasures it had," Wilde replied.

"Holy crap! You can do that?" Gru exclaimed in surprise. "What about their nests?"

"not bad."

Wilder smiled. "There are thirty kobolds, two leaders, two or three chests of jewels, and ten jars full of gold coins."

"What?!"

Gru immediately became excited. "Quick, ask it where its lair is!"

Several teammates gathered around.

"Don't worry, let me ask."

Wilder turned to the dog-headed man and said, "Bahahaha la bahahaha."

(My friend and I would like to visit your lair)

The kobold, under the spell's influence, naturally wouldn't refuse his friend's reasonable request and nodded repeatedly:

"Bahala!"

(Okay!)

Wilder: "Habaha!"

(Lead the way!)

Kobold: "Ha!"

(good!)

After saying that, the dog-headed man walked forward.

He would turn back every few steps to check Wilder's location, afraid of getting separated from his friend.

"I mean..." Gru muttered under his breath, "Are we really going to go to that beast's lair like this?"

"Thirty kobolds, two leaders, not a big problem, and now Joffrey has joined us too," Cyrion said in a low voice.

"Just speak normally!"

Wilde chuckled and reminded them, "Kobolds don't understand Common Tongue, so just say whatever you want."

"oh oh."

Gru then realized what was happening. "Little guy, how much longer until we get there?"

Wilder chatted briefly with his dog friend, then said to his teammates:

"Less than fifteen minutes left."

"It'll be soon." Gru looked at Cyrion. "Shall we go over the tactics?"

"Tactics... let's each do our own thing."

Cyrion's squad's standard tactic is for the warriors to draw aggro, creating space for Wilder to cast spells.

But considering the scene where he cast spells without any interval, causing the kobolds to attack each other, it doesn't seem like he needs any space at all...

"However, the kobold lair is riddled with traps and mechanisms, so we need to..."

Cyrion was interrupted by Wilde halfway through his sentence:

"Captain, don't worry, I've already discussed this with Xiao Ha."

"Little Ha? Who's that?"

"Oh, that's it." Wilder pointed to the kobold leading the way. "I've discussed how to deal with it."

"Huh? How do we solve this?"

"You'll find out soon enough," Wilder said with a slight smile.

After walking for about a minute, they reached the edge of a cliff.

The lush, dense forest abruptly ends here, and just a few steps ahead lies a valley several feet deep, the bottom of which remains verdant.

The kobold companion searched for a while at the edge of the cliff and pulled a wooden rope ladder out from the pile of rocks.

After securing the bolt, it climbed down the ladder.

Although the team members were suspicious, they still climbed to the bottom.

As soon as his foot touched the ground...

They then saw the opening carved out of the cliff face.

Without the kobolds leading the way, they probably would never find this location in their entire lives.

There were no dog-headed men guarding the cave entrance; the gate was wide open.

Firstly, its location is extremely hidden, and almost no one can find it.

Secondly, the cave is equipped with multiple traps and mechanisms, so there is no need for guards.

Wilder exchanged a few words with his kobold companion, and then the kobold slipped into the cave alone.

"Wild, why did you put it back?" Cyrion asked hurriedly.

"Oh, I asked it to find someone for me, it'll be back in a bit," Wilder replied with a smile.

"?"

Who are you looking for?

Who are you looking for in the kobold cave?

Just then, footsteps came from the cave entrance, and Little Ha came out with another kobold.

This dog-headed man was also covered in dark brown scales, but he was thinner and looked much older.

As soon as it stepped out of the cave, it spotted Cyril and his group, its expression instantly turning fierce as it lunged at them.

However, the green beam within the staff crystal was even faster.

It struck it instantly.

The dog-headed man also trembled, his eyes instantly becoming vacant, and an awkward kindness appearing on his face.

"Captain, we can enter the cave now," Wilder said, turning his head.

"what……"

Cyrion seemed to understand. "You're getting another kobold so it can help us test the traps? But isn't one a bit too few..."

No.

Wilder shook his head.

He pointed to the older, thinner dog-headed man and introduced him:

"This is Little Ha's friend, and also the person in charge of setting up all the traps and mechanisms in this cave."

"With him leading the way, we're guaranteed not to trigger any traps along the way."

At this point, the dog-headed man nodded in agreement.

An awkward smile appeared on that grotesque face covered in scales.

"???"
