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

Chapter 547 Crystallization Disease and the Friendly Mission
Rhodes saw that the half of Callister's ear that had been cut off had been restored.

Now it is wrapped with a small white plaster.

Today, Miss Elf is still wearing the standard high-necked tights, but the color has changed from green and white to silver-gray.

The golden ponytail fell to the waist, just perpendicular to the brown belt.

The belt not only highlighted her ridiculously long legs, but was also adorned with an angular sapphire pendant, a gift from Rhodes.

The close-fitting cut highlights the perfectly proportioned long legs, slim waist and not too much bust.

The slender, well-proportioned yet powerful lines interpret the most perfect creation of nature.

Judging from the body proportions, temperament and exquisite appearance.

There is really no one in the entire forest who can defeat Callister.

Rhodes looked him up and down.

It was discovered that the place where the elf lady's abdomen was pierced before was still glowing with the light of healing spell.

"I'm tough, so this minor injury isn't a big deal. But a certain elf lady got beaten up real bad, and her mouth is still sticking out."

He smiled and moved closer, wanting to hold her hand.

But he was ruthlessly dodged by taking a step back.

Different from Callister's cold words.

When the tree spirit Vivian saw Rhodes, she walked over slowly and firmly.

She didn't even hug him, she just leaned against Rhodes' arms.

When Rod patted her head.

She would raise her head again, rest her chin on her strong chest, and stare at him with her pure eyes that shone with white light.

Rhodes couldn't help but gently kissed the white and smooth forehead.

If it was before the cold war with Terry, she would always come over to fight for the space in his arms at this time.

But now.

The succubus just stood behind and watched with a miserable look on her face, not daring to compete for favor.

Callister's face was stern.

She seemed to be angry. Since Rhodes came to the forest medical station, she came to help every day.

But she just didn't say anything. Every time Rhodes teased her, she snorted coldly.

Today was the first conversation between the two since the Battle of Coral Bay.

"A minor injury? You were just a hair's breadth away from having your heart pierced, you know that! Humph! And you still say I'm showing off? You're no better than me."

"This is not for your protection. We can't let a girl be the last one to leave."

"Human, are you looking down on me? Do you think you're the only one who can do this?"

Miss Elf's delicate face was gloomy, and her desire to win was rising.

If it were halfling Lily's desire to win.

At this time, Rhode would tease her again, provoke a bet or something, just for fun or some joke.

But Callister.

forget it
She will see you as challenging her pride and dignity as an elf, and there is a risk of her taking the challenge seriously.

For a strong girl, the worst thing is to confront someone head-on.

Rhodes took out the magic scroll he had stolen from Aurelio's bedroom from his magic bag and handed it to her.

"Look, this is a magic scroll from the Dark Elf's collection. It seems quite old, and I immediately thought you might be interested, so I collected it."

Callister's face was still cold.

As soon as he saw the magic scroll, he immediately became interested.

He ignored Rhodes and took the scroll and started to observe it.

the other side.

The goblin Tammy flapped her radiant wings happily and then stood on Vivian's head.

He shouted with full energy:

"Lord Rhodes! Good morning!!"

"Good morning, Tammy."

"We're selecting tree species. What suggestions does Lord Rhodes have? Crystallization disease?"

Tammy was confused and looked Rod up and down.

"Oh"

Before fighting against the Grand Duke of Purgatory, Rhodes had absorbed a large amount of elemental fragments, and the goat man Enara reminded him of this at that time.

"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."

"This is no small matter! Lord Rhodes, although the crystal disease is not contagious, it can kill you if you are not careful!"

Calliste was also startled. She frowned and said:
"With proper treatment, it won't happen. The probability of death is not high, but there have been cases of ninth-order deaths. I remember that the capital of Eselon, Cangguang City, was plagued by crystal disease some time ago, but fortunately it was suppressed."

Rhodes was slightly shocked. Could a ninth-level being be killed?

I thought I could rely on my physical fitness to avoid this minor illness.
Then Rhodes remembered that he had a treasure that might be able to cure the disease.

[Big Grower's Pruning Shears]

[Effects: Impurity Removal, Toxin, Breaking Edge, Recognizing the Master, Defense Breaking, Bleeding, Paralysis, Air Blade]

He took out a pair of large scissors and started working on them.

As the light flashed, some crystal fragments immediately seeped out of the body surface.

Rhodes's resentment burned again, but it dissipated in an instant.

Tammy was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up with admiration.

"Lord Rhodes is amazing! He cured the crystal disease in an instant!!"

Callister was also surprised, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.

But she was always unwilling to admit Rhode's strength, and snorted coldly: "So many little tricks!"

Vivian didn't understand.

She blinked and looked at Rhodes, as if to ask if he was ok.

Rhode smiled and nodded at her. Miss Shuling immediately snuggled into his arms again as before.

"Speaking of which, is this crystal disease very famous?"

Callister put the scroll away, crossed her arms with a sour face:
"Crystallization disease can also be said to be a materialized spirit. Given that the vast majority of creatures on the continent possess spirits, this disease can exist in all living things.

At the same time, unlike other clear diseases, the manifestations of crystal disease are more abstract.

It may cause the nerves in someone's brain to crystallize, thereby blocking the transmission of pain.
It's also possible that they simply gather in large quantities in one place, forming a physical crystal core visible to the naked eye. However, this crystal core not only won't affect the patient, it can even provide the patient with a large amount of spiritual energy."

Crystal Core
Rhodes frowned slightly.

Why does it sound like the demon pill of a monster in a fantasy novel?

"There's a whiff of conspiracy theory blowing in the face."

"Hmph, I know what you're thinking. This phenomenon actually does exist. One hundred and twenty years ago, the Bahadur School of Magic's Barengo branch was exposed for conducting human experiments on crystal disease. Their primary purpose was to create artificial crystal nuclei."

"."

"Beforehand, the Bahadur School of Magic took the initiative to separate the branch and even offered to help control and guide the way, so they were able to get through this wave of public opinion and crisis."

"If you say it has nothing to do with them, I won't believe it even if you kill me."

Calliste also had a bad impression of the Bahadur School of Magic.

warned:
"This group of people's pursuit of magical singularity is extremely perverted. If you encounter someone who looks strange, even if it's a beautiful woman, don't hold back."

"Don't make it sound like I'm a man controlled by my lower body."

"Isn't it?"

Chatted for a while.

The conversation then turned to new tree species for expanding the forest.

From mangroves and sea almonds in tropical areas to coastal oaks that can adapt to coastal environments.

Callister has a wealth of knowledge.

Although Vivian and Tammy were confused, one was a tree spirit and the other was a nature spirit, and their sensitivity to trees was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Just feel the soil and the tree seedlings to know how well they match.

Rhodes had nothing to do anyway, so he just sat aside and watched the girls talk.

Don't say it.

It's so eye-catching.

Calliste's perfection and refinement, Vivian's purity and flawlessness, and the little goblin Tammy's vitality and petiteness.

Rhodes was stunned for a moment.

I always feel like I'm retired and enjoying farming.

however.

This feeling didn't last long.

Demia sent a message through the Chain of Far Words.

A friendly delegation from Stormwind City has arrived.

Quartz Town.

Argyle Manor, in the reception room.

Baron Ram with his long dark red hair.
Or Mrs. Ram, who was fiddling with the exquisite nails she had spent two gold arons on before leaving.

The widow who took in the Tooth Fairy Rosalia was once described by the witch Demia as "heartless," "a life of compromise," and "believing in sycophants."

Although the old gentleman Humbert, who was serving as the host, was talking and politely introducing the famous paintings and jewelry on the manor.

But she only responded with a stiff and forced smile, her main attention still on the door of the reception room, looking forward to the forest ranger who repelled the Grand Duke of Purgatory in the news.

She tugged at the sleeve of a handsome man next to her.

He whispered worriedly:
"Cliff, this is terrible. Maybe we shouldn't have come. I feel uneasy. It's like a weight weighing on my heart."

Cliff was obviously a little nervous as well. He wiped the facial oil off his forehead with a handkerchief.

He forced a smile in response to Humbert's introduction and replied in a calm voice:

"No, Mrs. Ram, no! We took the wrong step by forcibly transferring Rosalia back after learning of the Coral Bay attack. We can no longer remain silent. We must speak out!"

"That man, Coco, is truly terrifying. First, he saved Daphne, then drove away the demon, and then he repelled the dragon. Now, he's even driven a Grand Duke back to Purgatory. Oh my God, a ninth-rank Grand Duke! We've offended him so much, he must be holding a grudge against us!"

Cliff squeezed her hand.

Let her calm down.

"Watch your expression! It's never too late to mend the fences. Since that gentleman is willing to use the name of Quartz Town to reclaim Coral Bay, I guess he doesn't have the ambition to dominate that you think! I can tell he's a polite and respectable gentleman."

Ram tried his best to suppress it, but his panic was still evident.

"Respectable and polite? How is that even possible! I've seen these spiritual warriors, and every one of them is huge and strong, let alone a warrior who can repel the Grand Duke of Purgatory! He might even have two heads and four arms! Maybe the door of this living room is not as wide as him!"

Just finished.

Suddenly, a sound of slow and unhurried footsteps was heard in the huge living room.

Old gentleman Humbert paused his introduction with a smile and looked towards the door.

In an instant, the hall fell into silence.

The two senior managers of Windwind City changed their expressions and their hearts immediately rose to their throats.

I inexplicably felt an inhuman and terrifying pressure.

As they got closer, they actually heard the girls laughing and chatting with each other.

soon.

A tall man with a cane, as handsome as an elf, appeared outside the door.

Cliff heaved a sigh of relief for some reason. "Look, Ram! This is a handsome and respectable gentleman, not one with two heads and four arms."

The Baroness did not respond.

Cliff turned his head in confusion.

Then she saw the Baroness, who had been through hundreds of battles and had kept hundreds of male favorites, looking at the man outside the door with a dazed look as if covered by a layer of mist.

The slender palm wrinkled his collar, as if he had a heart-wrenching desire.
