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

Chapter 14 Back to Poor
"A shady shop! A total shady shop!"

"Is there no one supervising the market? They simply disregard the laws of the kingdom!"

Rhodes walked out of the store while cursing inwardly.

"Welcome again~"

The two beautiful ladies at the door of the store still smiled sweetly and even bowed slightly.

Two spiritual arts and a treasure.

He actually spent 800 gold Aarons!

Fortunately, he sold [Austerity and Strength] for 300 gold Aarons, otherwise he couldn't afford it!
I knew you were expensive, but I didn’t expect you to be so expensive!
Terry giggled on the side.

She didn't know why, but she felt happy when she saw Rhodes's embarrassed look.

"Don't be angry~ It's not worth wasting your energy on something like this~"

She raised her hand high and touched Rhodes' head.

"Save your strength, use it on me~"

"."

In the fight with Ali.

Rhodes learned that his spiritual perception was not high, so he could not discover in time that he was accumulating spirituality to trigger the spell ring.

So he bought a breathing technique that enhanced his perception.

Mid-level, high-quality [Hunting Night Breathing Technique].

At the same time, due to defensive issues, he was pierced through the heart by [Shadow Invasion] and nearly died.

Although there is the [Tree Armor] that can grow, even so, the current defense of [Tree Armor] and [Chang'en Seal] is not enough.

So he bought a defensive magic cloak, the [Guardian's Curtain].

And in the battle with Isabella.

The attack power is seriously insufficient.

The Giant Sophora Tree's [Super Power] cannot be triggered all the time.

Of course, one reason is that he has not yet learned [Flash of Aselon].

Anyway, it's anxiety!

Fear of insufficient firepower.

Rhodes directly spent a large sum of money to purchase a high-quality sixth-level sword technique, [Giant Slash].

"Let me tell you something interesting."

Tai Li laughed and said, "I heard you bargaining outside."

"what?"

"The young lady who hit you last night had her engagement broken off a year ago, so she hates men and has fallen in love with women. If you offend her, you're dead."

"Hmm, where does this noble gossip come from?"

"People on the street are all saying~"

"."

Why do people in Quartz Town spread gossip every day?
"Then let me tell you another one."

Terry thought he was bored and said, "That young lady must be over 30 years old and still a virgin."

"Don't talk nonsense"

"What nonsense! We succubi are extremely sensitive to essence. I can tell at a glance whether a woman has ingested essence!"

Rhodes bought some seedlings and nutrient solution and brought them to Vivian in the White Elm District.

Vivian showed no expression.

But the increased obedience on the slavery spell showed that she was happy.

[Vivian's obedience to you +2, current obedience: 77]

Different from Terry's erratic behavior.

Vivian's obedience level increased in a very methodical way.

As long as Rhodes did something beneficial to the trees, their obedience would always increase by one or two points.

Nothing to do.

Rhodes simply dealt with the ashes of the trees with Vivian.

Terry didn't want to do that, so she secretly flew to a tree and hid there, but she was soon pulled down by Rod.

"Are you ok?"

Seeing that Vivian was in a really bad mood, he spoke.

"Trees, innocent, dead."

Vivian lowered her head, always with a sad undertone.

"I feel your pain, Vivian, but please believe that even if they turn to ashes, their lives are not over."

Rod gently pressed the ashes on the ground and said, "It may no longer exist in the form of a tree, but its energy and vitality still exist in this land."

Vivian was silent for a moment, then gradually cheered up.

"Thank you, Rod."

[Vivian's obedience to you +1, current obedience: 78]

She took two steps toward him, toes touching, and raised her head, her eyes shining with white light staring at his face without hesitation.

The girl's body fragrance, mixed with the scent of grass and trees, drifted into my nose.

The tree spirit's bodice was tattered.

Noticed Rhodes's gaze.

Vivian was not shy, but instead gently hooked up her bra with her fingers.

"Rod, want to see?"

"Huh? No, I meant sorry."

In front of the innocent girl, Rhodes didn't want to do anything out of the ordinary.

This will make him feel like he is deceiving others.

He took off his sleeveless linen shirt and handed it to the tree spirit.

"Next time we go into town, I'll buy you some clothes."

Vivian hugged Ma Shan.

Suddenly put it on your nose and take a deep breath.

"Forehead"

Rod was a little embarrassed.

Although Terry often does this kind of thing, the person in front of her is Vivian after all.

"Rod's, the smell."

"Sorry, I'll get you a new one when I get back to the cabin."

"No, this one is fine."

After that, Vivian put on her linen dress slowly and clumsily.

Terry came over with a wicked smile and bumped Rod with her shoulder.

"Someone deceived the ignorant girl~"

“You planted all the trees.”

"what--"

After handing the matter over to Terry.

Seeing that there was still some time before dark, Rhodes ran to the nearby eucalyptus area to test the bonus of [Tree Armor].

As for the Baiyu area just now, the bonus is [High Endurance].

All resistance is enhanced, which is a very useful skill.

You know, the human race is the weakest race on the continent.

It would be okay if it was a race like the Fire Fairy, which has high fire resistance and poor water attributes, and obvious strengths and weaknesses.

Although the weakness is obvious, there is an awareness of avoidance, and one will be proactively alert to this part of the attribute.

Then humans, a race with poor attributes across the board, will have a hard time.

If you are facing an enemy, you have no idea what kind of spiritual power the enemy will use.

Only the most balanced non-attribute defensive spells can be used.

Come to the eucalyptus area.

Rhodes casts [Tree Armor].

[Tree Armor (Enhancement): A special enhancement granted to individuals with the Gift of Trees when performing Tree Armor. Different abilities are enhanced depending on the type of trees in the forest.

Current tree: Gulda eucalyptus
Amplification Skill: Iron Blessing]

Rhodes immediately felt a layer of hard spiritual steel covering the surface of his skin.

"Wow, that's pretty good."

If the basic version of Tree Armor is a fifth-level defense.

Then after adding [Iron Blessing], the overall defense level barely reached the high level of level six.

"No wonder no one wants to provoke tree spirits in the woods. The combined bonus of [Tree Armor] and [Tree Blessing] is simply unmatched by the same class."

It took him some time to get to the eucalyptus area.

At this time, the sky was slightly dim, and a faint white mist was emanating from the woods.

"Oh?"

A doubtful female voice suddenly sounded from above.

Rhodes stopped immediately, his face darkening.

The problem of insufficient perception was exposed again. Even when the other party came out, he still didn't feel it.

He was about to draw out the [Sword of Devotion].

"Don't be afraid, ranger boy."

The person on the tree landed lightly on the ground, then stood up straight, actually taller than Rhodes.

A scorpion tail wrapped in black and purple bones was raised high, proudly showing her identity.

The Scorpion Woman of the Eucalyptus Area!
