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

Chapter 616 Angel Investment
Rhodes sent Terry away, who was glaring angrily at Hera, and ordered her to find the high-ranking officials and the Campbell family members in the labyrinth.

To prevent this guy from overestimating himself and challenging Hera.

The halfling Lily then began to think of ways to bring down the winged Caroline, who was still acting as a third wheel in mid-air.

Caroline's ability to dispel evil spirits is quite powerful.

Previously, when facing an entire spellcasting squad from Bahadur Magic Academy, his +18 Dragonscale spell only resulted in a -6 damage.

I didn't expect that even a direct failure here would result in a -8 penalty.

It would be good if we could take it over to our own use.

more importantly.
This was a winged human race member he had never tasted before.

"Little Rod, your heart rate has changed. What are you thinking about now?"

Hera still refused to leave his shoulder.

She bent over and hung upside down in front of him, a smile on her face, the beauty mark below her mouth adding to her charm.

Rhodes looked at the sexy purple lips in front of him, and felt the thick, soft cushion on the top of his head.

Although it was separated by a layer of purplish-black exoskeleton breastplate.

But he could still clearly feel the fullness that had been distorted by the pressure.

I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Hera showed no sign of being offended; instead, her smile widened, and she pressed down even harder.

However, it also drifted away like a cat that seems to come and go.

Her hands, painted with black nail polish, affectionately pinched his ears.

"You're being naughty, I'm already an old auntie."

"If Lady Hera is still old, then there will be no beautiful women left in the world."

"Glib tongue~"

Rhodes smiled.

But then a wave of worry for this senior colleague washed over me.

Without beating around the bush, he said directly:

“Yulia, the vampire queen of the Magic Control Alliance, advised me not to help you advance to the ninth rank, saying that it would threaten your life. Actually, I hesitated for a long time.”

Hera was the first high-ranking person he had ever met.

Not only did they give me three opportunities to help them without charge, but they also occasionally offered guidance during my visits.

During the first invasion of Quartz Town by the Ego Cult, he faced seventh-tier magic. If it weren't for Miss Scorpion's divine intervention, he might have actually perished.

That's impossible, no matter what.

Hera's expression turned cold, all her smile vanished, replaced by a chilling and menacing aura.

"You also know from this cardinal that I once fell from the ninth step. Those who caused my downfall should naturally consider their own fate."

"I can help you."

"I don't need you, little guy. Oh dear, you're already at the peak of the eighth rank! You've grown up, little thing~"

"Absolutely, it's grown quite big."

Hera's sense of humor has always been both low and quirky; she burst out laughing and swayed on Rhodes' shoulder.

Rod knew she seemed unwilling to talk more, so he could only suppress his questions for the time being.

He slowly walked to the blood-soaked body of Cardinal David.

A gravitational wave pulled the spell bag up.

Well.
Jin Along has quite a lot, probably around two or three million.

After all, he was one of the six cardinals of the Church of Atheron, and his faith was certainly worth its weight in gold.
There wasn't much else.

Some magical tools, potions, and a bunch of letters and other odds and ends.

If we're talking about what Rhodes is most interested in, it has to be David's spiritual magic that makes him incredibly fast and his body wreathed in lightning.

【The sinews of lightning strike】.

I am very grateful that people in this world have the habit of recording their research on spiritual arts and magic in handwritten notebooks.

Rhodes found the records of this ninth-order spiritual technique without much effort.

This involves a bloodline resonance technique that can only be used after reaching the ninth rank. He had tried the [Elemental Resonance] technique to improve his strength before, and after a little thought, he understood it. It wasn't too difficult.

"Bloodline resonance can also increase resistance to lightning, making up for weaknesses. It's a sure win."

After lighting these things.

Rhodes went to Rosalia, the Tooth Fairy, and retrieved Vincent's magic bag.

of course.

I should still offer a few words of comfort.

Rosalia had recovered somewhat, though her expression remained sorrowful. "Thank you again, Rhodes. I will pay you the market rate for killing a ninth-tier enemy. Perhaps it's not enough now, but I will repay you gradually later."

"We're all friends, no need to say that. Just consider it an advance on the year-end bonus for Xiaofei and the others."

Several tooth fairies, including Little Fiso, work in the underground prison in Quartz Town. The working conditions are quite harsh. Rhodes is currently rolling in money and plans to give them all a sum of money.

Rosalia looked at him gratefully: "With Rhodes here, I feel relieved about little Fiso and the others. But I'll still find a way to get the reward."

"Do you still want to continue? Revenge?"

“Yes, Rhodes, Vincent shouldn’t be the only one to pay the price for the tragedy that happened back then.”

Rhodes spread his hands.

"As a friend, I have to be honest, little Rosa, your abilities might..."

"I know, but I won't give up on what you call me?" Miss Tooth Fairy asked with a strange look in her eyes.

"What I mean is, I'm planning to start an angel investment project that will help lovely ladies improve their skills. You know what I mean."

The left foot stepping on the right foot of 【Genesis Dew】 and 【Paradoxical Motive】 cannot be wasted, except to help the girl in the forest improve her strength.

Ambitious individuals like Rosalia, who lack the necessary skills, are also among his angel investment targets.

Hera couldn't help but look down at him again.

"You know you're being a pervert, little Rod."

Rhodes' expression remained unchanged: "Only those I approve of, those with a firm will, such as our little Rosa."

"Sorry, I refuse."

Rosalia gritted her teeth.

Then, as if remembering something, she paused for a moment.

"Wait a minute, since Vincent can't control you at all, then why did you ask me to give you that before?"

Rod whistled and looked up at the sky, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

Rosalia's face instantly turned red with anger and disgust.

"Rhodes, you really are something else."

"What about the export ceremony?"

"It's not working! It's not working! Nothing's working! Damn it! Where are Campbell's men?! What the hell happened?!"

"I think I saw that cardinal from the Church of Ego. Their conscription team happened to arrive at Dusk Hills at this time. Could it be them?"

"Bullshit! Without our investment of money and resources, would the Igor Cult have achieved its current status?!"

"Haha, that's hilarious. What's it to you? You businessmen are nothing but self-serving investors from beginning to end. Have you ever created any resources for society? You think you can make a living just by throwing in a little money?"

"What did you say?!"

An argument suddenly erupted in the small, dark, enclosed room.

yah-

The door suddenly opened, and light shone in.

A woman from the Campbell family wearing a beetle mask hurriedly opened the door.

She immediately knelt down in the direction she had come from and pleaded, "It's all here, please spare me, don't kill me!"

pat.

Terry poked her little head in and, amidst the horrified stares of everyone in the room, counted heads one by one with her tiny fingers.

Immediately, someone said, "Miss! Let us go! Isn't life all about money? I'll pay you however much you want!"

“I just peeked outside. Miss, you're with Lord Rod, the forest ranger of Quartz Town, right? I'm a member of the committee of Sugon City. We're still discussing business with you. Let me go, all expenses will be covered.”

This person's words ignited the room once again.

"You fucking idiot! Why are you saying my name?!"

"Damn it! A genius like you can be a committee member?! Sugirin City is a complete rotten place!"

Terri smiled radiantly, completely unconcerned.

"Since you're all going to die anyway, might as well make the most of you."

talking.

The shadows on the ground transformed into spikes, instantly piercing everyone's heads.

Blood pooled on the ground, forming a blood magic circle that Rhodes had never seen before.

As the spirituality warmed, the blood evaporated into a pale blue mist of soul energy, which quickly condensed into a small, physical blue bead.

With Rod not around, Terry clicked her tongue in a rather unappealing way.

He looked very unhappy.

"Only this much? Humph! That stinky scorpion had a dirty look on his face, trying to steal my Rod's pill? No way! I'll show you this Desire-Suppressing Pill!"
