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

Chapter 161 Doubts
half an hour ago.

Quartz Town.

2 Rank Street, Hyacinth Hotel.

Fred Argyle lay lazily on the recliner, his gaze leaping through the window, watching the people on the street with indifference.

Click——

The door is pushed open.

A mushroom man with a big red mushroom on his head walked in carelessly.

His body was covered with white fungi that looked like hair, and his face was a dull one with its mouth half open.

"Sir, it's done."

The mushroom man tapped the thick branch in his hand with every step he took, which was covered with white hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Each vibration stirred up a cloud of hallucinogenic spores.

He rushed in head-on and took a deep breath.

Ecstatic.

"Toru, how many times have I told you? When entering a confined space like a room, don't release your damn hallucinogenic spores!"

In the corner of the room was a woman with her arms folded and a dissatisfied look on her face.

She has a frail and slender body, her limbs are slightly longer and thinner than normal people, and her figure looks very light.

Whether it is the eyes, hair or skin, the overall color is lighter, and it looks like it is shrouded in a faint halo.

But that's all secondary.

What attracts the most attention is the white wings on her back.

This is a winged person.

Dealing with the reproach of this winged man.

The mushroom man Toru didn't care at all.

He said, "Don't underestimate the spores, Caroline. Human towns always lack the spread of spores. This is because their bodies are not strong enough."

"Don't apply your myconid theories to others. If they inhale too many spores, other species will die."

"How is that possible? The spores can give them nutrition and spirituality. Those who died from them had other physical causes, which definitely had nothing to do with the spores."

Featherman Caroline rolled her eyes.

Too lazy to argue with him.

Fred Argyle, sitting in his recliner, didn't look at them.

"We estimate we'll need twelve magic circles. Toru, have you finished them all?"

"not at all."

Toru was stunned and said in a muffled voice, "Only one can be dealt with."

After saying that, she took a breath of the hallucinogenic spores.

"."

Freed let out a silent sigh.

"You lazy bastard! You only made one, and how dare you come back so brazenly?! How dare you say you've done it all?!"

Featherman Caroline has a hot temper.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but start cursing again.

After cursing, she turned and looked at Fried.

"My Lord! I've long told you not to look for fungus-man mages. They're nothing but hallucinogenic spore addicts! They only indulge in the illusory spiritual world every day and have very little concern for the real world!"

Fred Argyle left his recliner and stood up.

He turned his head to look at the mushroom man Toru.

A ball of crimson flame suddenly burst out from his neck upwards and burned fiercely.

The hair and skin on his face turned to ash in the flames.

This revealed the face of a purgatory demon with red skin and a hideous appearance.

This 'Fried' looked at the mushroom man, approaching him step by step, a flicker of pure magic in his yellow eyes. Toru's whole body trembled.

The severe mental pain immediately made him suffer so much that he couldn't even stand and fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry! Spare your life, Lord Attu!"

"Here, call me Fried Argyle!"

"Lord Freed! Spare my life!"

Only after the demon Atu and others truly absorbed the mushroom people's fear did they lift the spell.

Toru took a deep breath, like a drowning man suddenly coming ashore, desperately trying to suck air into his lungs.

He didn't dare to do it again and didn't even pick up the mushroom staff.

And this devil is also well versed in the art of employing people.

After hitting someone with a stick, you will be rewarded with a candied date.

He said, "The lies you're fabricating using Commissioner Humbert's stepdaughter, Tobeka, won't last long. The people of Quartz Town will soon see the problem and resume their investigation. Before then, you must complete the Twelve Magic Circles! Toru, I know you've always wanted the Mystic Eye Parasol Mushrooms in Purgatory. If you can complete it in time, I can ask the Grand Duke for them on your behalf."

The mushroom man's emotions came and went quickly. When the fear dissipated, he immediately showed joy on his face.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

After saying that, he picked up his staff and was about to leave, continuing to set up the magic circle.

But Lord Atu called him again.

"Remember to cast a spell to preserve the magic materials in the magic circle. Don't forget the lesson from the last time when the magic materials rotted and caused the spell to fail."

"Lord Alfrid, you don't know that the spread of spores has a positive effect on spell rituals. Those damned embalming spells only block the spores. The last time it failed was because the casting took too long."

"Ok?"

A threatening question emanated from the demon's throat.

Obviously she was dissatisfied with his defiance.

Toru shrugged and said weakly:
"This time, the materials for the spell don't include fresh flesh and blood, only some bones and hardened skin. It shouldn't be a problem if we don't use the preservation spell."

"Just do it when I say so! Instead of making excuses here!"

"Ok!"

Realizing that his master's tone had become harsh again, he ran out of the room as if he was running for his life.

Watching the crazy mushroom wizard leave.

The demon Artu sighed, transformed back into the form of Fried Argyle, and sat back on the recliner.

"Sir, why do you have to do this in Quartz Town? There are no seventh-level people in the town. I am enough to kill them all by myself."

Caroline, the winged person on the side, said.

"The situation in the far west is more complicated than you think, Caroline. According to the information given by Egg, there is an eighth-level scorpion woman here who has an agreement with the old King Aesiron."

"Eighth level?"

Her face changed and she dared not speak anymore.

And my master continued:

"For many years, even during the dragon attack on Quartz Town fifty years ago, this Scorpion Woman never left Windwall Forest. But recently, for unknown reasons, she left the forest on her own initiative and killed a bishop of the Ego Cult. In short, this eighth-ranked being is a significant variable and should not be provoked."

"Your Excellency has prepared for a rainy day, and I admire you."

"You don't have to flatter me. The Grand Duke has been interested in the Guardian Arrays of human cities for a while now. It just so happened that the person in the southern part of Purgatory recently took action, attracting attention, which gave us the opportunity to come to the surface. Quartz Town is the only small to medium-sized area with a Guardian Array. We will offer this up there, and there will definitely be a great reward. The Grand Duke has a natural liking for the Feathered People. When you are promoted one day, don't forget my help."

"It's all thanks to your guidance, sir. By the way, I heard there's a ranger here who's a master."

The devil Atu heard this.

smiled.

"I watched him at the dinner party yesterday. He's truly a rare and skilled fighter. Even at level six, I wouldn't have been able to survive even three moves against him."

"So strong?"

"He's far stronger than the average sixth-level warrior, but unfortunately, we're seventh-level warriors. Our goal this time, in addition to obtaining the guardian array, is to eliminate this individual. If we continue to allow him to grow, he will surely become a top-tier human, potentially hindering our Purgatory counterattack on land."
