I'm a forest ranger, why would I enslave a succubus?

Chapter 78 Overload
Looking at the object Rune was pointing at, Rita frowned slightly.

"It's him."

She remembered this man.

At that time, a student's belongings were lost, and Rune once said that it was possible that this man named Rhodes took them away.

Therefore, she was careful and cast a positioning spell before leaving.

But unexpectedly, it was easily lifted by the other party.

A warrior with fifth-level spiritual accumulation often has fewer means than a mage, except for close combat.

The fact that it could be lifted so easily left an impression on her.

"There are too many people here. We can't force our way in."

Rita pondered for a moment. "Come to think of it, after a baron friend of my father fell into poverty, his descendant came to live in Emerald City. My father once helped him, and now he seems to be a captain in the Public Security Bureau."

Rune felt a little happy.

He was an ordinary commoner, so he had no connections among officials or nobles.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had used the secret method of aphrodisiac on Rita.

Although she is only the daughter of a down-and-out baron, the connections her father has accumulated are enough to provide her with convenience.

"Yes, this person is exploring the maze alone. He is most likely a commoner with no background. Ask your friend to find an excuse to get him out of Jade City."

"We haven't seen each other for years, so I'm afraid it won't work if I just go to your house and make demands directly."

Rita was worried about letting Rune down, so she couldn't help but speak out.

Rune smiled slightly.

Take out a spell bag.

"Here are a thousand gold arons, just give them to him."

He learned from his teacher a technique to transform a magic ring into [Overload], and made a fortune from the price difference alone.

Here we need to first mention what [overload] is.

When the magic ring was first developed, the technology was not very perfect.

If a large amount of spirituality or magic power is infused at one time, it will trigger the fuse protection of the critical point. Not only will it fail to be successfully activated, but it will also cause the magic ring to become [overloaded] state.

In the [Overload] state, the effect of the magic ring will drop to about 80%.

This was originally a helpless move due to the imperfect technology at that time.

But people later discovered that the magic power or spirituality required to trigger the ring again in an overloaded state would be greatly reduced.

Even a person with only the third level of spiritual accumulation can use a sixth level magic ring in an overloaded state.

As a result, a large number of overload rings appeared on the market.

Because of the extremely small amount of magic power triggered, even though the effect is only 80% of a normal ring, the price is half as high as a normal ring.

The Heavenly Flower Kingdom discovered this phenomenon in time.

Quickly perfect the ring so that it can no longer reproduce [Overload].

Overload rings are also gradually disappearing from the market.

However, the Heavenly Flower Kingdom later repackaged the Overload Ring and added a 100% premium, transforming it into a second-generation magic ring exclusively for the wealthy and nobles.

Everyone was helpless, after all, it was the exclusive technology of the Heavenly Flower Kingdom.

It goes without saying that Rune's teacher was once a wizard from the Heavenly Flower Kingdom.

Harris has been very irritable these past two days.

Although the focus of the newspapers these two days is still on the old dragon at the Dragon Viewing Festival.

However, rumors of a bombing and poisonous smoke emitting from the potion factory spread among residents.

Just this morning.

He saw three people who claimed they were poisoned by the smoke.

Although the diagnosis of the mage medical team proved that these were all thugs who were trying to blackmail their health.

However, from ancient times to the present, the truth has never been the point.

When they lied to the public about poisoning, it was impossible to clear the air in public opinion.

of course.

The ownership of a happiness potion factory certainly does not belong to a mere police captain like him.

He was merely entrusted by the people above to manage and share the profits.

As for the counterfeiting, it was done privately by one of the engineers in order to cut corners.

On the observation deck of the Emerald Domain Square.

"Captain Harris, a letter from the city lord."

A sheriff respectfully handed over a letter.

Harris had a bitter taste in his mouth.

What was supposed to come still came.
After sending everyone else away, he opened the letter with trembling fingers.

no doubt.

The words were filled with curses and scolding, as well as the sarcasm often used by the city lord.

The threats and intimidation inside weighed heavily on my heart like a stone.

However, this was not without a way out. In the end, the city lord asked him to handle the matter properly.

"Oh, forget about keeping all the savings I've accumulated over the past few years."

Harris was once the heir of a baron and was not without the means to deal with such matters.

But whether it is buying a newspaper or confusing the public, a large amount of gold is needed, not to mention in a place like Cuiyu City where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

At this time, the sheriff came up again.

"Captain Harris, a woman named Rita Riddle wants to see you. She says you'll recognize this."

After saying that, he handed over a dagger.

On the hilt of the sword, there is a unique family emblem and pattern.

"Rita?"

When Harris saw this thing, he immediately thought of the little kid who followed him around back then.

Nostalgic thoughts welled up in my heart, but at the moment, I could only force out a bitter smile.

After a while.

Harris and Rita came to a small corner tea stall near the Emerald Field Square.

After chatting.

"You mean to ask me to lure a man out of the city or out of the way so you can deal with him?"

Rita nodded.

Then he placed the spell bag on the table directly.

Harris opened it and raised an eyebrow.

Five hundred gold arons.

Not a lot, but definitely a lot.

But it can solve the urgent need.

"What identity?"

"It's most likely a civilian."

"High probability? You're going to deal with him even though he doesn't even know you?"

"."

Rita didn't answer.

Harris sighed and said, "It's because we are friends."

"Tell me about his appearance, and I'll check it out."

Rita used her magic power and a magical image appeared in front of the other party.

"Level 6? That's pretty good progress."

Seeing the accumulation of magic power of his friend, Harris exclaimed in admiration, but she looked cold and indifferent, not as cute and enthusiastic as before.

shrugged.

He now has his own base, so he doesn't have to curry favor with others.

But as he looked at the magical image in front of him, his expression changed.

He turned stiffly to Rita.

"Is his name Rod?"

Rita was stunned.

"you know?"

"More than just knowing him, he was recommended by the Argyle family, and everyone in the city hall knows him."

After saying that, Harris put the spell bag back on the table.

Jin Along is a good thing, but you have to be alive to spend it.

Argyle is not an ordinary earl's family. They have been on the front line of the battlefield for many years, which makes them have a large number of high-level combat forces. Not to mention the marquis of the next level, even the duke has to give them face.

They often recommend qualified people to come to the Emerald Realm to upgrade, and afterward these people all shine on the continent.

Aaron and Argyle go against each other for five hundred gold?
The city lord would probably drag him out and perform a blood sacrifice ten times right away.

"Really can not?"

Rita's face looked grim. She didn't want to let Rune down.

Harris stood up.

His expression turned cold.

"Miss, bribing the sheriff and attempting to kill someone in Jade City could result in a sentence of more than ten years."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear anything about the previous conversation. I'm always available for the party, but don't mention Mr. Rhodes anymore."

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Rita's response.

Leaving Rita sitting there.

The gloom on his face seemed to be dripping with water.
