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

Chapter 119: Letter and the Origin of Rat Man

Chris covered her butt and floated beside Rhodes with a sad face.

damn it!
It's just a little peek, is it necessary to whip me?

You want me to lift my skirt and whip me! I'm an adult female ghost, okay? I have self-respect too!
I want revenge! I must have revenge!

Ranger Rod! Just wait!

I don't know if it will leave scars.

Chris couldn't help but touch it, and her body began to tremble.

It hurts, but I can vaguely feel a hint of pleasure. What's going on?

Rhodes ignored the Banshee's thoughts.

While driving the carriage towards Quartz Town, he read Lily's letter.

The letter begins after the two separated.

It turned out that after they parted ways, Lily sent someone to Jade City to inform the Blazing City army of something unusual.

But unfortunately it was not taken seriously and the tragedy still happened.

After the horrific ceremony ended, she immediately displayed the spirit of the chivalrous alliance and entered the city to help the suffering civilians.

Therefore, he gained new insights from the remaining traces of magic.

Make her magical thinking clearer.

Afterwards, she and a group of fellow chivalrous men disguised themselves as bards and tried to enter the Blazing City to investigate.

And found some interesting details -

【

Since the rebellion against Aetheron, there has been a curfew in the Blazing City and the defense has been greatly strengthened, so it can only be explored by me and an agile cat lady (too bad she is not your type, her breasts are very small).

At the beginning, we thought that the reduction in the production of orchid berries was the main reason for the rebellion. After all, humans accounted for the majority of the people here, and it would be difficult for them to survive for long without orchid potions.

However, after our investigation, we found that the reduction in the production of orchid berries was intentional by the Blazing City. We also learned that they greatly relaxed their control over the Holy Fire Team a few months ago. This caused some humans to turn to worshipping the Holy Fire after they were unable to buy the Orchid Potion. They believed that they should not resist, but integrate.

At this time, we speculated that this was an invasion plan initiated by the Salamanders.

The Kaua'i tribe outside the Blazing City corrupted, or rather assimilated, some of the high-ranking Salamanders in the city, and used faith and reaction to reoccupy their territory.

But there is a huge loophole in this speculation.

The legendary wizard in the city is a human sent by Eselon. He is a legendary wizard who has comprehended the field of [Explosion]. He has an absurdly high resistance to fire and is not afraid of high temperatures at all. Why would he voluntarily submit to the Holy Fire?
The investigation stalled for a long time.

Just when we were about to give up, Miss Catman accidentally heard that the Ego Cult had briefly come here to preach and had a meeting with the legendary wizard.

Through our visit, we found that five days after the meeting with the Ego Cult, Blazing City secretly relaxed its control over the Holy Fire Team!
We changed the direction of our investigation and indeed discovered that the Holy Flame Team had a close connection with the Ego Cult.

A large number of ritual formations for summoning demons were discovered near the hot springs in the Blazing City.

That legendary wizard had been at the seventh level for many years, and his magical power had been cut off due to old age. Even if more people were sacrificed, there was no possibility of his promotion.

He was obviously unwilling to come to this point, so he had connections with both Purgatory and the Ego Cult.

And one of these two must have given him a way to advance.

But unfortunately, the investigation has reached its limit.

A newly promoted eighth-rank legendary wizard is far beyond our reach, and we cannot access direct evidence.

We will publish the investigation report in all famous newspapers in mainland China. If you are interested, you can check it out.

I'm sorry for saying so much, you must find it boring, right?

I just miss my time in Emerald City so much.

I don’t know why, they were just small incidents, but I can’t forget them for a long time.

Next, I will cross the Falls Mountains and head south to Waterdeep.

I heard that there was an old green dragon there who cheated a wealthy local family into poverty. It was quite interesting.

Ah, I really want to go investigating with you again.

However, the Heroes Alliance will never stop, right?
(If you want to reply, you can send it to this address: XXXXXX. This is the address of a female friend of mine. Of course, I don't necessarily require you to reply. If you find it annoying, you don't have to bother.)
PS: Is Chris okay? You didn't do anything to her, did you?
—Your eternal companion, Lily.

Egoism and Purgatory?
Rhodes felt uncomfortable when he heard the word Ego.

These bastards really love to mess around!
But, read to the end.

Rhodes felt better, smiled, and picked up a pen to write down some of his recent situation.

It also expresses longing.

There aren't many magical resources in Quartz Town.

If you don't count Pete, the goblin merchant who often comes here, the Spiritual Guild is the only one.

As for the spiritual guild, those who understand it will know that the things in it are very low-level.

Magic nutrient solution is really hard to buy.

Rhodes thought about it and decided to go find the witch Demia.

She hasn't been to the forest recently. I heard that there are too many things to do in Quartz Town, and she hasn't been able to have any free time.

Not a moment longer.

City Hall, inside the office.

"Magic nutrient solution for plants?"

Demia sat behind a large mahogany desk, with piles of documents piled on the table.

She thought for a moment and took out half a bottle of light green potion from her magic bag.

"I left half a bottle when I was developing the new Salix babylonica. It seems a bit expired. Do you want more?"

Don't want it for nothing.

Rhodes took it.

Talk about it.

Demia was not as arrogant as Callister, and she already had a strategy to deal with the situation. She also had her own things to do, so she withdrew from the research on transforming the tamarisk, and the research was currently being conducted independently by the elf.

Calliste didn't care much about it. She just wanted to prove herself, and it would be more to her liking if she could do it alone.

"Oh right, how's the investigation going on with the ratmen in the mines?"

Rod curled up on the sofa in the corner.

While observing and sensing the magic and spirituality in the potion, he chatted.

"It's settled now."

The witch gave a wry smile.

She didn't even raise her head, she was still writing something on the table.

"Remember those corpses from the Brotherhood of the Ruins? To prevent the plague, the original plan was to cast [Protection from Plague] and [Purification] first, and then burn them all."

Rhodes nodded.

There is no problem with this processing.

Since there are spiritual beings in this world, simply burning the bodies is not enough to eliminate the threat.

If these two spells are not cast, not only may the undead appear, but even some special plagues may spread through the smoke from burning corpses.

Yes, that’s right, the plague in this world is so outrageous!

Appearing invisibly on the continent like a termite!

"The matter was assigned to a mid-level City Hall employee named Arthur. He's Humbert's nephew."

Humbert is the old man who falls in love with his stepdaughter.

Demia said angrily:
"Who would have thought that Artur was so audacious? He not only swallowed the cost of two spells, but also the cost of the matches. He simply dumped all the corpses into the abandoned mine! That's why he attracted the rats from underground!"
