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

Chapter 106 Lace and a Week

Quartz Town, City Hall.

Rhodes came to the consultation window.

Since returning to the forest, he found that Callister's attitude seemed to have worsened.

So the two didn't talk much.

The lady working at the consultation window recognized him and looked very excited.

After learning that Rhodes was interested in purchasing Forest Lane, he asked for his autograph and invited him to the backstage interview room.

He was received by a middle-aged man with an exquisite mustache.

This person is one of the commissioners of Quartz Town City Hall and is responsible for managing various affairs in the town.

They are all people trusted by the Argyle family.

The gentleman's name was Humbert, and Rod had read a little gossip about him in a country newspaper:

It is said that this guy particularly likes widows. Whenever he meets a wife he likes, he will use his power to kill her husband.

But given that this time the news rumor involves murder, it is too outrageous.

There was a lot of buzz in Quartz Town at that time.

Humbert couldn't stand it anymore and took the newspaper to court.

After a period of investigation, it was confirmed that the murder was a fabricated story.

The newspaper lost the case and issued an apology, but still included the following real investigative information about Humbert:
It turned out that he was infatuated with a young girl who had just come of age.

In order to get close to the girl, he married her widowed mother.

While there are ethical issues, there is no clear sentencing in this regard under current Eseron law.

It is said that the girl's mother, Humbert's new wife, was hit and killed by a carriage on her way home after learning the news.

And the girl was obviously just playing around with an old man like Humbert, and she got tired of him after about a year.

She was seduced by a groom half a year ago and her whereabouts are unknown.

"Henry Farm? Well, Mr. Rhodes is the benefactor of the Argyle family. I have to remind you that there have been many rumors about this farm in the past few months."

Humbert is old-school jazz style.

An exquisite decorative cane, a refreshing but not greasy scent of perfume, and half-white hair and beard meticulously trimmed with hair wax.

Rhodes didn't see any sign of him being affected by emotions.

"I've heard some rumors about ghouls and ghosts, but after investigating them, I found that they are completely false."

"Of course I believe in Mr. Rhodes's abilities. After all, you once saved Quartz Town. But that's not all. A wizard skilled in astrology told me that before Quartz Town was established, the location of the farm was a huge cemetery."

Rhodes waved his hand to show that he didn't care at all.

What's so scary about a cemetery built hundreds of years ago? I went to school for more than ten years in my previous life, and every school said that it was built on a mass grave. I was used to lying there, and it's not that I couldn't sleep.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Humbert did not try to persuade him any further.

Contract signing began soon.

Considering that Quartz Town tried to auction the farm after the family died and it failed, and that it was neglected and had ghost rumors, the price of Henry Farm was not expensive, only 220 gold Aarons.

"By the way, Mr. Rhodes, I heard you just came back from an outing. Did you pass by Coral Bay?"

While waiting for the return visa process, Humbert chatted.

"I haven't been there, but I heard the situation in Coral Bay isn't good. There are frequent harassment incidents from golems and sirens. What's going on?"

As a harbor, Coral Bay is much richer than Quartz Town. Although both belong to the territory of the Argyle family, there are many open and covert struggles among the leaders.

"No, nothing, just thinking of an old friend."

As he spoke, Humbert looked a little lonely. The lonely old man couldn't help but confide his feelings to a stranger.

She continued, "Two days ago I received a letter from her saying she was pregnant and would be staying in Coral Bay for the time being. Her husband had joined a gang of porters at the dock." "I tried to persuade her, but the man was incompetent. We had a big fight and decided to never see each other again. But now, when she asked me for financial support, I couldn't make up my mind."

Rhodes is not good at persuading people.

He naturally understood who the woman mentioned was.

"Have you considered remarrying, Mr. Humbert?"

"No, it's hard to meet another girl like her."

Humbert soon came to his senses:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rhodes. Please forgive the ramblings of an old man. I'm fine. I just feel a little nostalgic."

While talking.

The contract has been completed.

Humbert regained his former gentlemanly demeanor and extended his hand affably.

"Congratulations, Mr. Rhodes, Henry Farm can now be renamed."

"No, I like its current name."

Rod shook hands with him and said:
"If you need help, you can always come to me."

As the dedicated manager of Quartz Town, Humbert has some flaws in his emotional life, but his work is impeccable.

He has made an indelible contribution to the prosperity of Quartz Town today.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Rod rediscovered his Ranger rhythm.

Practice and patrol the forest to understand the condition of the trees.

Perhaps because he hadn't seen the forest for more than a month, he could feel that the forest was a little unfamiliar to him.

During this period of time, he took good care of himself and finally regained his previous feeling.

[Growth Spirituality] also experienced a huge explosion.

Maybe it’s because of the new breathing method, I have accumulated 23 new points of growth spirituality this week alone.

In addition to this, there is one more item, which is the observation of the Death Desert.

As the improved version of the tamarisk gradually expanded, the desert was actually pushed out for a distance.

Not only that, Rhodes also continuously brushed out the [Magic Barrier] entries, successfully establishing an effective barrier area in the Shaliu District.

Rhodes gently pinched her raised buttocks while checking the information of the entry.

[Vivian obtains the skill: Leaf Storm]

[Details: Growth Spirit activates Vivian's unmastered primitive spiritual arts. This skill summons a storm of leaves, dealing multiple damage and slowing down all enemies in front of it.]

[Remaining Growth Spirituality: 52]

In the corner of the house, the banshee Chris found a blanket from somewhere and curled up with her head wrapped in it.

This guy believed what Terry said about the salon rolls and now would rather listen to the noise all night than sleep in the stable.

"It seems okay. I remember there was a question mark in Vivian's entry before."

Many races may possess ancestral blood, which, once awakened, can be greatly enhanced.

Rhodes' current goal is to train Terry and Vivian to become masters who awaken the ancestral bloodline.

"Also, skills won't improve if you don't practice them. Let's find some time to go to the Flawless Crystal Land and practice."
