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

Chapter 698 Forced Marriage
This mournful roar caused the restless energy in the forest to stop and quickly subside.

A cold snort came from a certain elf in the Chain of Distant Words.

Clearly, emotional debts are not to be ignored.

The honest and unassuming tree spirit Vivian was upside down, standing in the shallow shadows of the tree spirit layer, watching expressionlessly.

Terri was annoyed, hands on her hips: "Who the hell is your sister?! Why would my master want to marry her? He should marry me first!"

"A succubus? You kept a succubus as a pet? How could you do this to my sister?!"

The refined cloud elf man's pupils flashed gold, and he immediately let out another miserable howl, "Does my sister know? Does she know you already have a woman?!"

Rod took another sip of frozen yogurt.

Coming from the clouds, cloud spirits.

Not hard to guess.

"But is it Lyra Star Language's brother?"

"That's right! My name is Claudio Star Language. All eight songs on Lyra's album are related to you. Even when she was locked up by her father, she kept talking about your name. Even her manager, Camille, revealed some things about it."
"Waaaaah... My poor sister, the man you liked turned out to be a two-timing scumbag."

Terry pouted: "To correct you, my master has more than just me as a girl. If we only count those on the surface, there are 14."

"What?! Fourteen of them! Damn it, that's so enviable. Uh, I mean that scumbag Iron Chain Boat! I'm going to drag you to Cloudweaving City and force you to marry me today!"

"You may have misunderstood something. I've only met Miss Lyra Star Language four or five times. It's not the kind of relationship you're imagining. Besides, Miss Lyra isn't my type."

Rhodes spread his hands.

The cloud sprite was shriveled up, practically flat-chested; there'd be no way he could possibly be interested in it.

However, the explanation did not calm Claudio Starwhisper down; instead, it made him even angrier.

Clouds surged forth, spiraling upwards in mid-air.

His face contorted with rage: "What do you mean? What do you mean she's not your type?! My Layla is a thousand times, ten thousand times prettier than your succubus! How dare you look down on her!!"

The snow-white, swirling, formless clouds gathered into a giant, fluffy fist.

Of course, it only looks fluffy. The fist hits the air in mid-air, breaking up layers of airflow, and fiercely smashes towards Rhodes.

Rhodes smiled bitterly.

The blue and white mist of his soul had already dissipated behind him, and a magnificent ancient tree, straight and tall, slowly took shape behind him.

The illusory form, with its dragon-scale-like cracked bark, pierced directly through the clouds, tearing the flowing clouds into wispy strands.

A tree-like girl, equally ethereal and translucent, extended from the tree trunk. She affectionately rested her hands on Rhodes' head and made a face at Claudio Starwhisper.

Rod extended one hand forward, palm slightly raised.

A massive +43 Repulsion spell, amplified by the Blessing of the Ancient Tree of the Sky (+10), erupted forth, mixed with moonfire and ice shards.

The powerful airflow and reaction force caused Rhodes' feet to sink directly into the ground, and the rushing white airflow swept into the forest, causing the treetops to shake violently.

Bang! ! !
The powerful impact and the moonfire pulled the cloud of energy backward, tearing the enormous cloud fist into a honeycomb shape in an instant, before crashing down at Claudio Starwhisper's feet.

His expression was one of surprise, and his elegant mustache twitched slightly.

Then, a battle-ready smile appeared on his face: "Not bad! Now you're qualified to be my brother-in-law! Let's try again!"

Aren't you bored?

After he finished speaking, the clouds surged again.

At that moment, another pillar of cloud descended from the sky.

"You idiot, bro!"

Laila Xingyu, her sleeves fluttering, rushed over in a panic, "Father told you not to embarrass yourself! Come back quickly!" "My brother is trying to settle your marriage! Don't worry, I'll kidnap him right away and take him back. We'll get married tonight! And have a baby next year!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Rhodes and I are not in that kind of relationship at all!"

"Then why were you muttering his name while looking at the moon last night, the night before last, and the night before that?"

"I'm writing a song! Please!"

"Seeing an object evokes memories of a person, and the object symbolizes a person. You've been through it all, brother. You've also experienced a deeply unforgettable love affair. I understand."

"You don't know anything! Your girlfriend back then was an old succubus that your older sister hired to prank you!"

Claudio Starwhisper shuddered and looked at her in disbelief.

Leila Xingyu shrugged, decisively distancing herself: "It was my older sister! She told me not to say anything!"

"Joyna! I will never forgive you!"

Claudio roared angrily to the sky, and a pillar of clouds shot into the heavens, his figure vanishing from the spot in an instant.

Instead, there was a middle-aged man with completely white, cloud-like hair.

Its spirituality was solid and unassuming, yet its aura was surging and overwhelming.

"Father."

Kraft Star Language.

The true owner of the 91-point domain power [Eye of the Sky] on superstar Lyra.

He nodded to Rhodes, revealing a faint smile.

"Yunzhi City has come to express its gratitude to Mr. Rhodes for his help to my daughter. My unfilial son somehow got the news and rushed over before us. Please excuse his behavior, Mr. Rhodes."

Rod smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn't care much.

Seeing that they had given up, Terry handed over the frozen yogurt again, but secretly added some Terry juice to it.

“Mr. Rhodes is not short of money, and a ninth-tier item is easy for him to acquire. However, I do not understand the interests of you young people, so I have come here specifically to ask what kind of gift you would like.”

Don't tell me.

Rhodes actually had something he wanted to ask him, so he didn't bother with formalities and went straight to the point.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Mr. Kraft's expertise in this field is remarkable. I'd like to ask if there are any methods to quickly improve one's skills and break through bottlenecks."

Kraft smiled slightly:
"I like your straightforwardness. The reason is simple: firstly, it is a steady and gradual process, but it takes a long time.
Second, to 'complete great achievements in the field,' such as implementing plague contamination on an entire continent in the field of plague;
Thirdly, it involves anchoring the domain to a specific object, such as the fear domain of the porcelain-white longsword at Rhodes' waist, or the domain mage tower of the Kingdom of Aetheron, except that the latter has many limitations.

There's not much to say about points one and two.

The third point is anchoring to a specific area. This sounds somewhat like building a divine kingdom in a divine power system, except that it is anchored to a single thing rather than a region, which makes a significant difference in quality.

Rhodes nodded, having made up his mind.

"By the way, Mr. Kraft, do you know anything about the legends of the First Age relics in Quartz Town?"

"A relic of the First Age? The destiny of this object is obscured. All I know is that it is a clay tablet that records the myths of the lizardmen in the First Age. There are rumors that it contains records of various evil gods."

Kraft's expression turned grave. "I initially thought it was just an ignorant misinterpretation of a natural phenomenon by the ancient lizardmen, but I will take some time to investigate Mr. Rhodes and my daughter's encounter in the Star Association's labyrinth."

Even the top combat forces on the mainland were unaware of the sealed clay tablets before this?
But in Campbell's Labyrinth, the cardinal of the Church of Ego explicitly mentioned the evil god. How did they know that?
Don’t wait to think too much.

Kraft noticed that Rhodes didn't seem to be asking for much, and felt that he wasn't being too serious.

He then tossed several items from his magic bag.
