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

Chapter 635 Return and the Wild Mage
The salty sea breeze, carrying cheers, rushed towards us.

Even at this dusk, Coral Bay Pier was still packed with people.

Crew members, dockworkers, many bards, and some hesitant businessmen.

On rooftops and in dark alleyways, wild mages with noticeable magical energy fluctuations within them were also observing.

Most of them are fans of Rod, mostly girls, ranging from young to mature, countless in number.

It is unavoidable.

As the most powerful man in Coral Bay, he is not only young and strong, but more importantly, he has a handsome face comparable to an elf.

His human identity also added to his appeal.

It would be a lie to say that he has no followers.

They waved banners and glittering dwarf lights, looking excitedly into the air.

Led by Rhodes, surrounded by Sharon the dog-woman, Demia the witch, and Laura the sea elf.

The setting sun shone through the thin clouds, casting its light behind us.

Their clothes, fluttering in the wind, were edged with a halo of gold, giving them an almost divine aura.

Rod pulled the rope in his hand, and a small boat loaded with the heads of sea monsters appeared not far behind him.

Sawa fishmen, snail fishmen, siren sea monsters, giant shark sea dragons, ghost ship flags exuding an eerie, cursed aura, and so on.

These were all spoils of war that Rhodes and his men had collected on their return journey, fighting their way back along the flight path to put on a show.

no way.

Rod believes he is now too famous, and every move he makes attracts attention.

His actions of going out to clean up the hazards around the flight path would inevitably become known, even though this was part of his plan.

This large quantity of spoils will undoubtedly give people confidence.

as predicted.

As the small boat appeared, deafening cheers erupted once again in Coral Bay.

"Look! Lord Rhodes is so handsome!"

"Lord Rhodes! I love you!!"

"Who else could personally clear the flight path like Lord Rhodes? Coral Bay will surely become the wealthiest city in Twilight Hills in the future!"

Many sailors and fishermen looked up at Rhodes in awe.

But there are also concerns.

Someone asked, "Is the flight path completely safe?"

"How could that be? That's the ocean. The ocean nurtures far more life than the land. This will require a long-term commitment to achieve results. Hopefully, Lord Rhodes isn't just working on it sporadically."

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of me.

Rhodes didn't show much of a smile; instead, his expression was serious and somber.

While this provides some reassurance, the matter of the aberrant siren cannot be concealed, and we cannot rely entirely on the pink-haired siren Rivera's search.

He immediately instructed Sharon, who was beside him, to use the [Illusory Sound] spell to amplify the volume.

First, the results of the operation were briefly explained, and then the changes currently occurring in the ocean and the threat posed by giant creatures were clarified.

There are countermeasures.

Afterwards, Sharon and Terry, who possessed domain power, would clean up the area near the flight path every day, with Rhode himself participating from time to time.

Coral Bay Wharf will distribute twenty [Soundproof] magic rings free of charge every day based on shipping certificates.

Of course, if the quantity exceeds the limit, you will have to buy it at the original price.

With the Magic Control Alliance's [Extreme Teleportation] function shut down, the magic ring business in the market area also came to a standstill.

He planned to sell a small quantity in Coral Bay, and then find familiar merchants to sell the rest in large quantities to the Kingdom of Carinthia across the Munster Sea.

Based on the events that occurred...

In reality, the bloodline contamination from that area was not infectious; it was just that everyone on the wrecked ship heard the song. The magic's soundproofing effect might not be very good, but it should at least have some effect.

Having finished recounting this matter...

The fans remained excited, while some sailors and shipowners became serious.

After all, according to what Rhodes said, this is no longer just a problem in the nearshore waters of Coral Bay, but a problem affecting the entire Munster Sea area!

not far away.

Several unorthodox monks, observing the docks, gathered in a dark alley.

"This ranger, Rod, doesn't act like one of those nobles who don't value human life."

A gray-robed female mage praised him, her eyes sparkling with admiration and appreciation for Rhodes.

"He wasn't a nobleman to begin with; he was a forest ranger. I've even seen news reports about him keeping succubi. Haha. Young people are so nice."

Another older monk, with a gray beard, chuckled.

"From what you're saying, you're planning to stay?"

"I'm too old to travel around like I used to, and I can't go to dragon nests or griffin dens for spellcasting materials anymore. Coral Bay is just fine."

“Yes, Coral Bay has only been under reconstruction for a short time, and there’s a shortage of people everywhere. I also plan to stay, mainly because they have too few dishes to offer, and I can’t stand it!” Another chubby mage added.

The gray-robed female mage looked somewhat forlorn.

She is still young and believes she still has the potential to go further, and she is full of anticipation for the journey ahead.

These were good partners, what a pity.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at the male mage, who had been silent all along and was about her age: "And you?"

Although she didn't think much of this guy who joined the group halfway through, she still asked him as usual.

"I will also be staying here for a while."

The male monk didn't look at her.

His eyes were fixed on the figure in the sky under the setting sun, looking quite interested.

The gray-robed female mage frowned. "What do you want to do?"

"That dog-person next to Rhodes is my type. She doesn't seem to have a good relationship with Rhodes. I'm planning to give it a try, hehe."

"Have you fallen back into your old bard ways? That's the woman next to Ranger Rod!"

"With so many women, it's hard for the forest ranger to satisfy them all. I'm just going to help him out."

The male mage shrugged, looking frivolous.

"Maybe, hehe, that dog-man can help me squeeze some money out of Rhodes and advance my career. Will you help me or not? I'll calculate your payment. I've done this kind of thing many times. Most big shots are vulnerable when it comes to women."

The other two had already decided to settle there, so naturally they wouldn't agree.

The female mage frowned.

"I'm sorry, I can't keep you company."

After she finished speaking, she put some distance between herself and the man.

What a disgusting man. Let's look at Rod again to soothe our eyes.

However, as soon as she turned her head to look at the sky above the dock, she was surprised to find that Ranger Rod in the distance had already crossed the crowd on the dock and was staring at her.

She even flashed a faint, charming smile.

"He heard it!"

The female mage's expression changed drastically. Fearing that the disgusting man beside her would implicate her, she instinctively wanted to run away.

Snapped.

A hand landed on her shoulder without her noticing.

This made her freeze, and she couldn't help but tremble.

For a mage to be approached so silently is almost certainly a death sentence.

She glared resentfully at the disgusting man in front of her who was still rambling on and on.

"Don't be afraid."

It was a soft girl's voice.

The female mage paused for a moment, then turned around stiffly.

It was a dark elf with the lower half of a giant spider's body, slightly drooping pointed ears, and an exquisitely beautiful face.

Yu Guangzhong: The fat monk and the old monk had already fainted and collapsed on the ground.

"Excuse me, sir, who are you?"

She asked, her voice trembling with tears.

"My name is Yuna, and I am that person's personal bodyguard."

Yuna smiled gently as she spoke, her fingers moving slightly.

An invisible spider web shimmered with a faint white light in the dark alley.

The object wrapped around the neck of the disgusting man spouting nonsense in front of her, and with a soft "plop," her head and body separated.

"Please ask Lady Yuna. Is it something you wish to do?"

"My lord has granted me permission to establish and train my own shadow forces to leverage my advantages as a dark elf infiltrator. Congratulations, you've been chosen by me."

"Could that gentleman be Luo?"

"It's hard to say, but this shadowy force inevitably has to do some dirty work, so you know what I mean. I think you're pretty smart."

The female mage revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Can I refuse?"

"can."

Yuna smiled gently and pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"Lady Yuna, you don't know, my dream is to become a chivalrous thief like you."

"Great~~ Sigh. If all wild mages were as clever as you, I wouldn't have to kill so many."
