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

Chapter 83 Maze Mission
After saying goodbye to Harris.

Gema asked about the return date.

Rhodes did not specify a date, but just said that it would be within these two days and asked the goblins to make preparations first.

He went to Lily's residence in the inner city.

The two of them were friends, so naturally they exchanged temporary addresses.

twenty minutes.

Rhodes found Lily at the edge of the ruins in the central square.

She stood outside the cordon and watched quietly as the staff inside carried out the cleanup work.

Unlike most halflings who have a 55 body length, Lily has relatively long legs, probably 37 body lengths, so she looks more like a young human girl.

She often wears a light red leather chest protector with a small white vest underneath.

It looked empty, with only a slight bulge.

"Lily."

"Look, Rod, they found a healthy emerald branch and replanted it in its original location."

She pointed into the distance.

Where the emerald tree originally stood, there was a small branch.

A layer of green magic sky enveloped it, and beside it was a pile of expensive nutrient materials, which must be the magic materials that would help it grow better.

The emerald tree, which had returned to normal, still fell to the ground.

It can be seen that the spirituality inside is dissipating irreversibly, and more than half of it has turned into the texture of ordinary trees.

Cuttings?
Rhodes was instantly moved.

If the branches of the Emerald Banyan Tree were planted in the Wind Wall Forest, would it mean that he could use the distance-ignoring [Space Tree Form] to travel back and forth between Quartz Town and Emerald City?
"I heard it was done by a demon. I wish I had been outside at the time."

Lily said with a pout.

Obviously, as a member of the Heroes Alliance, she was unwilling to miss such an opportunity to expel evil.

"Let me remind you that it took twelve peak-level sixth-order mages to barely subdue it."

Rhodes said as he stopped the staff nearby.

The person recognized him and was stunned for a moment when he learned that he wanted to buy branches of the emerald banyan tree. Then he said goodbye and went to find a more senior person in charge.

"I have my own way. Why did you buy this?"

Before Rhodes could respond.

At this moment, the dragon soul who had the open-air maze pass sent another message, still hoping to get his help.

He ignored me again.

He took out a newspaper he had bought on the way.

Above is an image of twelve mages working together to cast a spell.

Three of them were wearing the black robes of Bahadur's students.

"Look, there are your enemies."

"I saw them. I followed them the day before yesterday, but they were so tightly packed together that I couldn't do anything."

Rhodes was stunned.

He was just joking, but he didn't expect that Lily would dare to cause trouble for the peak sixth level person just after she reached the sixth level.

Lily continued, "They later met up with two other Bahadur students, also high-level sixth-order students, along with the boy student and teacher from that day. They headed towards the open-air maze together. I guess they've already arrived today."

"Open-air maze?"

How could such a coincidence happen?

Rhodes guessed that the people who needed to be repelled in the pass mission were this group of people.

soon.

A senior manager on site came forward to discuss the purchase of emerald tree branches with Rod.

Perhaps because they were retainers of the Argyle family, their attitude was unusually friendly.

Finally, the transaction was successfully completed at the price of 500 gold Aarons, and a magic medicine box to maintain vitality was included.

"You're leaving? Which direction?"

After hearing that Rhodes was leaving.

Lily was very reluctant to leave.

It seems that he wants to walk with Rhodes for a while longer.

But later I found out that my route was completely opposite to hers, so I said:
"What a shame, you're a very reliable partner."

The disappointment could not be concealed on his face.

".It would be better if you didn't raise a succubus."

Rhodes smiled.

He knew that Lily was a halfling who valued friendship and loyalty, so he took the initiative to exchange contact addresses with her.

After that, the two chatted for a while and then waved goodbye.

Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
The Maze Pass app was sending out crazy messages. It was just as annoying as those pop-up messages on QQ.

Rhodes frowned and chose to refuse.

However, almost at the same time, Pass sent another message.

And this time, it even came with a spell.

[Chain of Far Words].

In other words, seeing no response from the other side, they called Rhodes.

This was supposed to be a forced call.

However, it was exempted by the extremely high mental resistance brought by [Will of the Sky], and became a spell that could be optionally rejected.

After thinking for a moment, Rhodes chose to accept it.

"Woo~~"

“Why not accept it!”

As soon as the connection was made, I heard the screams of a young girl with a crying voice.

"Are you the Red Dragon Saban?"

"No, no, my name is Nolin."

The girl's voice became timid and sounded less confident.

".But you are a dragon soul, aren't you?"

Rhodes was a little confused. The hint said it was the 'Dragon Soul of the Maze'.

Besides the red dragon Saban, are there any other dragon souls?
"Of course Naulin is a dragon soul. She ended up like this by accident. Please, come and save Naulin. They are going to dig me out."

"Can't you find someone else? There are plenty of people with passes."

"Naolin dare not look for them because they are too greedy. Once they know the location of the Dragon Soul, they will definitely come to dig me up."

"Then how can you trust me?"

"You're different. The trees here love you and trust you. And you look so handsome when you kill. Naulin wants to be as handsome as you."

"."

Rhodes was stunned.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

But then I thought, if I could go and come back quickly.

It shouldn't be possible to be dragged into the war between Blazing City and Kaua'i so soon, right?

"Let's talk about the reward first."

"Noulin can give you whatever you want! Spells, treasures, dragon scales and dragon bones!" she said eagerly.

Rhodes thought for a while.

Considering the identity of the other girl, he still said:
"I want you to submit to me and be my slave willingly."

The grand mission of the stamp collecting project cannot be interrupted by a small episode of the ancient tree in the sky.

Can it be worse than Eva?
This was Rhodes' only thought.

Furthermore, if he could enslave a dragon soul, as long as his obedience could be improved, it would definitely bring a significant improvement to his strength.

"no!"

Naolin spoke timidly, but she was decisive at the critical moment and immediately refused.

"Don't worry, I'm just a human with a lifespan of only a hundred years. Having my dragon soul taken away or obeying me until my death? That's not a difficult choice, right?"

There was silence for a moment.

"Then will you attack me? I heard that humans are all perverts."

"Most likely."

Rhodes said bluntly.

Then the other party trembled with shyness and said, "Okay, but not now. If you are willing, wait until I condense the dragon body again..."

"make a deal!"

Rod laughed out loud.

Get the dragon experience of the future!

He hurried back to the ruins of the square and called Lily to help.

Of course, Naulin will also be given a share of her profits.

As for whether Lily would refuse.
When she heard that they might be dealing with students from Bahadur School of Magic, her eyes lit up and she agreed immediately, even though the other party might have more than five high-level sixth-level masters.

The two separated first.

One person went to prepare supplies and food, and the other went to buy two fast horses.

Then gather at the city gate.

During this time, Rhodes informed Gema that the return date would be postponed, but she didn't care.
