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

Chapter 754 Locke's Heart and a Chance Encounter 1
The process of entering the underground chamber is not difficult.

Since it was a secret meeting, there were no security personnel to attract attention.

Furthermore, Yuna's spider silk has a considerable advantage in unlocking secret doors and magical locks.

In no time, Rod slipped into Terry's shadow and successfully entered the underground building.

Upon entering, there is a downward staircase covered with a red carpet.

It can accommodate nearly ten people walking side by side, and the dwarf alchemical lamps on both sides of the wall crackle and flicker with fluorescent light.

There were still no guards.

In fact, it’s normal to think about it.

The meeting was attended by none of the most powerful mages and warriors in the Kingdom of Aetheron, and it was also a secret meeting.

Implementing a cumbersome and multi-person guard system would be somewhat redundant.

The shadows trailed downwards along the carpet.

By the way, turn the [Scent Disguise] to full power.

Sharon's shared skill is not just what it sounds like. Since Rhodes' shared skills are all at full power, this skill also contains the camouflage and concealment techniques used by the dog-people when hunting.

Not a moment longer.

The stairs end at the bottom.

A faint voice could be heard.

Further ahead is a three-way intersection, with a corridor on each side and a small hall directly in front. Under the lights, you can vaguely see two male servants dressed as waiters pushing a food cart and chatting.

According to the architectural drawings provided by Levy.

This should be a small foyer before the main conference hall. There is another large foyer behind it, and then the largest conference hall is further ahead. Behind that is a rear lounge and various small rest rooms.

Walk straight to the end, and kill your way to the end.

But that's not all. Several halls are shaped like gourds, with a surrounding corridor leading to various temporary spell laboratories.

The main purpose is to verify the solutions proposed in the meeting in real time.

Rhodes thought for a while.

After all, this is an assassination operation, so the assassination procedure should be respected to some extent.

Although he was a rough-around-the-edges soldier, he didn't know many procedures either.
However, it's definitely right to start in less crowded areas.

He slapped Terry's little buttocks in the shadows with a "whoosh."

With an excited expression, the succubus deliberately stuck out her buttocks and obediently manipulated the magical shadows to turn into the left corridor.

The laboratories in the corridor are very densely packed.

After walking for a short while, we came to another fork in the road. The fork led in the opposite direction from the front hall to a large laboratory with a floor area of ​​more than 200 square meters.

Rod peeked out.

Hey!

Surprisingly, they found several dwarf brothers. The magical fluctuations in the laboratory were very weak, with only the crackling of forging hammers and shooting sparks.

I also heard the long-lost, ruthless, and cold female voice that was part of the [Lord's Heart] notification system.

It seems they are constantly correcting the dwarfs' procedures.

The laboratory is very soundproof; you can hardly hear anything from outside the door.

There were about twenty brass-colored structures with bent knees hanging on the wall.

These structures are similar to those seen in the City of Shadows.

It is over two meters tall, humanoid, with obvious traces of gears and steam propulsion inside, and exhibits characteristics of crystallization disease.
Oh, there's no last bit.

The constructs here do not have crystallization disease, which may be why they have not been activated yet.

The shadow entered the laboratory and hid behind a large metal cabinet.

"Just a little bit more, Warren, just a little bit more."

So said a bearded dwarf.

Interestingly, although the voice was somewhat rough, it was undoubtedly a woman's voice.

This also confirms what Terry said: female dwarves can also grow beards.

"Yes, Mira, it's almost there."

Compared to Warren and Mira, who were slightly more mature, the other two dwarves seemed a bit too excited.

"Did we succeed?! We're going to succeed?! Oh my god! By Locke's grace! We did it!"

"If we succeed, we will be the greatest dwarves. No! We will be the greatest race on the entire continent!"

"Calm down, brothers! There's one last step!" "Yes, yes, yes! One last step! Once we complete this step, the [Heart of Locke] will be successfully installed and become the true [Heart of God]! We will become the great creators of gods!"

The Heart of the Gods?

Rhodes had been watching the dwarves howl with great interest.

Those four words immediately stunned him.

Terry couldn't help but steal a glance at her master: "【Heart of the Gods】...isn't that just a treasure that can heal Daphne Argyle?"

The succubus followed her master to almost every city.

It was also clear that he would inquire about the item wherever he went.

It's not a good thing for the master to always be thinking about a certain girl, so Terry is quite concerned and wants to end things as soon as possible.

"Perhaps it's just a coincidence, Master? I remember that adorable older sister Isabella Argyle said that the Heart of God is the stamen of a plant."

"That was the prophecy of the half-deer people. After all this time, you should know that prophecies aren't always entirely accurate, right?"

"That's true."

Rhodes raised his eyebrows.

This is an unexpected bonus. Regardless of the consequences, let's kidnap these dwarves first.

Just as they were about to ask Terry to make a move.

The dwarf woman named Mira suddenly paused and looked directly in their direction.

"Come out, I see you."

Yo huh?

So sharp?

Rhodes was slightly surprised.

At this moment, he hid in the shadows, and in order to conceal himself, he also restrained his spirituality and did not spread his perception outwards.

But generally speaking, dwarves are either scholars, forges, or warriors.

Although they were born with considerable strength and resistance.

But they still belong to a race with a clear division of labor. How could this Mira possess both combat and development skills?

interesting.

Rhodes propped himself up and pinched the soft spot around Terry's waist, urging her to release him.
"pat-"

Suddenly, footsteps sounded not far away.

A beautiful figure clad entirely in black leather flashed past from the shadows less than 5 meters away, heading straight for the dwarf.

This woman has undergone some kind of magical disguise, making her face unrecognizable.
No.

Rhodes instantly activated his [Insightful Eye], and in the blurry trail, a familiar, mature face with insect-like thin wings and pointed ears came into view.

"."

Rosalia the Tooth Fairy?

What is she doing here?

I couldn't help but think about it.

The Tooth Fairy, shimmering with purple-white moonlight, has collided with the female dwarf Mira.

Mila's body was muscular and her veins were bulging; when she stood in a horse stance, she was like a fortress.

There was a bang.

The Tooth Fairy's charge was actually deflected in a zigzag arc, achieving nothing.

Rosalia immediately knew this guy was not to be trifled with, and her Moon Essence surged wildly.

"[Object Moon]!"

The insect transformation was about to be unleashed.

Suddenly, a strangely familiar tall figure appeared behind the dwarves, with a familiar golden longsword and a familiar handsome face.

The man winked at her flirtatiously.

The palm turned into a knife, then vanished into a phantom.

With four sharp cracking sounds, the four dwarves' eyes rolled back, and they instantly collapsed, unconscious.

"It's you!?"
