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

Chapter 215: Trophies and Three Views
Rhodes found the spiked badge on Princess Meimei's remains and knocked it away with a sword.

The ball of flesh made up of the legs of various animals immediately began to shrink and rot, eventually revealing the sword wound of the cat goblin that almost cut half of its torso.

Blood was bubbling from her mouth.

Looking at Rhode with a confused look in his eyes: "Why are you so powerful?"

"I told you, Naulin serves me, not me serving Naulin."

"Haha. As expected of the Dragon God. It is indeed impossible to deceive the Dragon God." Obviously, she still did not listen to Rhode's words.

Pudding ran over and looked at his lover with complicated eyes.

"It's not worth it, Princess Meimei."

“Worth it. Pudding”

As she spoke, she tremblingly picked up the fairy wand and handed it to Rhodes.

"Dragon God. As an apology, Princess Meimei would like to present you with a treasure."

As soon as she finished speaking, the fairy wand in her hand flashed with light, and then several items fell down.

A bloody cat tail, a cube gem with sword marks, a bracelet woven from hay, a small mirror, etc.
Rhodes held the [Soul-Shaking Blade] in his hand and threw a few [Identification Spells] at it.

[? ? ? ?: This item, made with unknown craftsmanship, appears to be a cat fairy tail. It contains deep resentment, perhaps the result of a cat fairy who least wanted to die being subjected to evil and cruel treatment.]

[Memory Wishing Stone: Able to modify memories regardless of class, but difficult to interfere with deeply impressed and emotionally charged memories. It's said that the Bahadur School of Magic is researching various wishing stones, and this is the only one that has succeeded. (Note: This item has been struck by a powerful spiritual force, temporarily losing its aforementioned function. Please repair it before use.)]

[Love Grass Bracelet: A bracelet imbued with love, it can increase the power and effectiveness of spiritual and magical spells by 3-5 times.]

[Aegis Mirror: Reflects a targeted spell. Cooldown is 24 hours after use.]

[Dew from the Sea of ​​Trees: The dew from the World Tree contains the spiritual power that nourishes all things.]

[Spell Book (Exploding Emerald): A green emerald composed of magical energy, dealing damage and stunning enemies. The green light produced after the explosion can affect undead creatures.]

"Wow, this stuff is pretty good."

Rhodes' eyes lit up slightly.

I originally thought that in a low- to mid-level place like the [Cat Fairy Paradise], having [Memory Wishing Stones] was already a pleasant surprise, but I didn't expect there were so many.

Especially the [Love Grass Bracelet], the power of spiritual magic increased by 1.5 times is no joke.

Pudding covered his head and groaned, then said:
"I remember now, we came here for the dragon body materials."

Oh? It seems the [Memory Prayer Stone] has been destroyed, and the influence it had previously exerted has been cleared.

Just at this moment, a black shadow came rapidly from the distance.

It was Terry who had been expelled and relocated. As soon as she saw Rhodes, she rushed over and hugged him.

"Long time no see, Master~"

"Only about ten minutes."

"For Terry, these ten minutes felt like a dozen centuries."

"Grumpy."

"What? Doesn't the Master taste it every day? How could he not know whether Terry's mouth and tongue are slippery~"

After saying that, she stretched out her long tongue and licked her master's neck carefully.

Rhodes pushed her nonsense away.

Collect all the loot and then go to the witch cat.

At this time, the witch cat covered her head with her hands, looking annoyed.

"Princess Meimei tricked me into thinking of her as her best sister, but she's actually been exploiting and using me."

She tried to stand up, but it pulled at her wound, causing her to grimace in pain. She painstakingly cast a [Cleansing] spell on herself, removing the white dye from her body.

She is a calico cat.

Rhodes showed the cube-shaped [Memory Prayer Stone], and the sword marks he made on it were very obvious.

"It's a pity that it's damaged and no longer usable," he said.

The witch cat's face was bitter. "As I just told you, this is something I stole from Bahadur. To hide it from a professor, I used the Wishing Stone on her. Now that the effect has worn off, I'm afraid she already knows."

Rhodes touched his chin.

"It is said that the Bahadur School of Magic is researching various wishing stones, and this is the only one that has succeeded."

The presence of this sentence in the item details also indicates that this is something very important.

"What level is the professor of the academy?"

"Eighth level. So what if you know? You're just a small servant of the Labyrinth Consciousness, only at the beginning of the sixth level."

"I repeat, it's Naulin who serves. Forget it."

The witch cat rolled her eyes, struggled to her feet, and reached for the wishing stone.

Of course Rhodes refused.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course, it's to repair it. Perhaps you don't know, but the cat fairy has a materialization technology. This is why this wishing stone was developed by my research team."

Rhodes really didn't know this.

Even the book "Research on the Native Spiritual Arts of Alien Races" did not mention it.

"Then you will tell me this, won't you?"

"You're a lackey of the [Cat Fairy Paradise] maze consciousness. Even if I don't tell you, you'll find out sooner or later. And if I want to protect this place, building a good relationship with you is essential."

She was quite frank.

Rhodes said, "The Headless Knight Mimi once said that you have a problem with the Dragon God."

"It's true that I have some doubts. I am Bahadur's student. Naturally, I know the dangers of the maze, not to mention the maze consciousness."

Bahadur is the place on the continent that knows the most about the labyrinth.

However, this top magic academy on the continent did not play any role in the battle between Eselon and the Heavenly Flower Kingdom, and even directly rejected the kingdom's request for assistance. They claimed that the academy was only studying daily spells and could not provide any help.

The witch cat continued, "But after I investigated thoroughly, I found that although this maze consciousness is now more powerful and has a stronger control over the maze, it actually did nothing bad to the cat fairies."

That's what I said.

Your compatriots have all been distorted under the influence of Naulin. Can you still say there is no influence?
Rod and Nolin were on the same side, so naturally there wasn't much to say.

But the witch cat had lived in human society after all, so she could guess what Rhodes meant.

"Hmm, I guess you're referring to the status of Pudding and the others and Princess Meimei. Actually, the maze consciousness hasn't affected our spirits. Cat fairies naturally hate cuteness and petiteness, but in our eyes, ugliness represents bravery, and hugeness represents heroism."

"Um, so what are those cone-shaped badges?"

"They claim it was a gift from the Dragon God, but in reality, the Dragon God issued a mission to create dragon body materials, and there has been no communication since then. This badge is completely imaginary. The only reason it works is because the Royal Knights begged the Dragon God for a month, obtaining a trace of his aura, and then adding the ability to materialize."

Ok.

Rhodes covered his forehead.

I had a preconceived notion.
