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

Chapter 739 News and Convergence

And it's not just this one title.

The newspaper devoted a large section to introducing Rod's life and summarizing his achievements during this period.

It begins with a forest ranger rescuing the youngest daughter of the Argyll family, resisting demonic invasions, slaying dragons, defeating the Grand Duke of Purgatory, and so on.

There are some parts where Rod dictates the events.

After all, quite a few bards came to interview us recently.

Other newspapers, such as the Magic Newspaper, which is mainly based at the Bahadur Magic Academy.

The analysis from a more professional perspective describes Rhodes' successful completion of anchoring such a large area as an unprecedented feat.

all in all.

With Bahadur backing down, they are now mainly boasting.

Of course, it wasn't without its share of criticism and negative news.

It's news.

Whether it's true or not, let's put aside that for now and focus on creating a buzz.

For example, the page Rhode is currently flipping to read: "Shocking Reveal! Ranger Rhode's Faya Conquest Begins with the Orc Mother of Three Children!!"

He flipped open the newspaper and looked up.

—The Coral Bay Times.

Isn't this the newspaper office where Laura, the sea elf who occasionally throws a punch, works?
Well, there are bad guys among the crowd.

Yes, the title is weird.

However, the content actually uses the girl with whom Rhodes Forest has a close relationship to introduce the habits and characteristics of many different races.

The actual content was presented with respect, and there was no falsification involved.

Finally, he added a few words about awakening and not relying on men, which were just a veiled attempt to convey his own agenda and didn't really make any sense.

As for why it started with 'a mother of three children'.

That's because the article begins with an interview with the orc restaurant owner in Quartz Town.

"Isn't this just clickbait?"

It can only be said that the sea sprite Laura may be testing Rhodes's bottom line regarding news on the edge.

pat-

A snow-white foot stepped on Rod's calf, its skin covered in seawater and soft sand rubbing against his muscles, gently caressing them.

Rod thought it was Terry.

Only succubi love to do such mischievous things.

To everyone's surprise, when they looked up, it turned out to be Rat Girl Number Thirteen.

Looking further into the shallow water, Terry was taking on ten girls single-handedly, splashing water wildly at them while laughing maniacally and shouting, "I'm fucking invincible—".

Surprisingly, the succubus really enjoys playing in the water.

Yuna, the spider-like elf who manages the entire Coral Bay, may not have a high status in the eyes of others, but when she is with Rhodes, she always looks like a maid. She poured a glass of iced lemon tea for Number Thirteen and then went back to stand at the back.

"Don't you want to go play?"

Rhodes then looked at number thirteen.

Given that the girls are still young, the swimsuits chosen for this event are not particularly extravagant.

Only simple tank tops, shorts, and two-piece outfits are available.

But since it's made of nylon with a slightly stronger wrapping effect, none of the girls had a bad figure.

Not to mention the rat woman who is 1.8 meters tall and has legs longer than her life.

Her full bust contrasts sharply with her firm waist and abdomen, and her abs are faintly visible.

The shorts accentuate the shape of the buttocks, tightening around the thighs and subtly highlighting the fleshy curves, while also showcasing well-proportioned leg muscles and a vibrant look.

A soft yet metallic steel tail swayed, hesitantly wrapping around her thigh.

Number Thirteen shook his head and drank the lemon tea in one gulp.

Then she lay down next to him, covered in seawater and sand, her soft mouse ears folded up on the mat.

Fingers with brightly colored nail polish slid across Rod's abs.

Calliste again refused to let her participate in the beach swimming activity, and it was only after Rhodes pleaded with her that she was allowed to go.

"As you wish."

Rod glanced at the curled-up girl and swallowed hard.

Although it's described as a tight-fitting short vest-style swimsuit, size 13 is still slightly larger than average.

As she curled up, her soft silhouette spilled out from the edge of the fabric on the side, slightly alluring.

Calm down your mind.

Continuing to read the newspaper, what followed was more serious content compared to the entertainment news.

Bahadur Magic Academy Rejects Ego's Religion Three Times! Etheron's Plan to Merge Magical Forces Fails! Is the End of the War Still a Long Way Off?

Ideological Conflict? Partisan Strife?! The Reasons for the Dismissal of Former Principal Bahadur and the Board of Trustees' Drastic Removal of Human Supremacy! Joining the Igor Cult Was a Last Resort!

Has the anarchic state of Faye changed, or has it fallen to Atheron? Gang rule brings nothing but harm!

"The Ego Cult achieves a resounding victory in its sixth campaign against the 'Wings of Light' illegal organization! 33 traitors killed! 93 arrested!" "Wanted posters for the 'Wings of Light' illegal organization released! Remnants have scattered into the Azeroth Mountains! Rewards available for informants!"

The Ninth Round of Conscription Begins! Fight for Your Country and Drive Out the Heavenly Flower Kingdom!

A new magical technique has emerged in the frontline war! Artificial life forms that ruthlessly slaughter—Constructs!

Constructs that don't distinguish between friend and foe?! The Aetheron Academy of Mages entrusts the lives of its warriors to immature magical technology?!

With the death toll on the front lines reaching 33 million, why has the peace talks become an order to war?!

Bahadur is cutting ties with the Igor Church.

As Seamus said, the Wings of Light are currently in trouble.

The construct is presumably the same empty shell warrior project created using the Crystallization Disease, devoid of emotion.

The project was previously assisted by people from Bahadur.

The inability to distinguish friend from foe is probably due to the incomplete technology after the separation.

I'm still thinking about it.

Rhodes noticed that the mouse girl, Number Thirteen, who was curled up nearby, had secretly rested her head on his arm.

Upon realizing she had been discovered, she raised her pale blue eyes to meet his gaze, her movements freezing.

Rod turned his gaze away.

She continued to move closer to him.

I looked over again.

She froze, unable to move.

Look again.

It's stiff again.

Hahahaha—Number Thirteen is curled up in a big ball, and his personality is like that of a small animal.

I was just about to tease her a little more.

There was a sudden change on the panel.

【hint!】

The fusion of 'Rotten Moon Seed' and 'Rotten Core' has failed!

Rhodes was speechless.

If you can't merge, why are you two reacting like this?
wait
The reaction can't be faked.

Perhaps it's not that they can't be integrated, but rather that something like a catalyst is missing?
Rhodes thought for a moment and then lit the [Universal Furnace] in the Flame Domain.

He generously gave each of the [Rotten Moon Seed] and [Rotten Core] 1000 points of growth spirit, and then threw them into the furnace together.

In the realms where Luna Luca and Amu, the Lord of a Thousand Throats, have the sclerotium enhancement effect of [Despair Mycelium], the Rose Goddess can also be enhanced by [Weeping Dew (God)].

The Flame Domain was also directly increased to 90 Authority.

The [Furnace of All Things] is no longer a random creation as before; you can even return it to its original form by spending some [Growth Spirit].

Rod wasn't worried.

[Smelting successful!]

【Name: Wriggling, Ulcerated Placenta (Miracle Tool)】

[The authority over the Flame Domain has been elevated!]

[The authority over the Flame Domain has been elevated!]

[The authority over the Flame Domain has been elevated!]

"Artifact?!"

Rhodes was completely taken aback.

According to the Rose Goddess, the artifact did not appear at the present time.

He wasn't given much time to think.

A spirited shout echoed from the sky.

"Mr. Rhodes! Here's a letter for you—oh? What's this?"

The harpy Chuka stopped at the edge of the beach, where a no-fly zone and barrier had been established for the privacy of the girls.

"Yuna."

"Received, Master."

Miss Spider let Chuka in.

With a refreshing minty scent, this Hobbit lady remained vibrant after the death of her chieftain and mother.

"Here is an urgent letter for you! Please keep it safe!"

Rhodes took it and recognized it as a coded message from Carter, the founder of the Wings of Light.

He frowned and opened the envelope.

It turned out to be a letter seeking help.
