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

Chapter 18: The Reappearance of the Outsider

Up.

Rhodes wanted to just throw all the remaining [Growth Spirituality] over.

Then the [timid] and [big appetite] that appeared immediately scared him away.

It seems that the [Centaur Bloodline] has used up all his luck.

Adhering to the principle of no more than three times.

He gave the last bit of his [Growth Spirituality] to the [Guardian Curtain].

['Growing Spirituality' was used successfully, and the Guardian Curtain successfully grew]

[Remaining 'Growth Spirituality': 0]

The edge of Baiyu District.

The outskirts between Windwall Forest and Quartz Town.

In the darkness of the night, two furtive figures emerged on the hillside.

They scanned the burned area over there.

"Brother Wally, there is a residual spirituality here."

"I know it without you telling me. I'm not blind. How can I not see such obvious signs of war?"

The fat on Wally's face twitched. "Is it Ali's?"

A dog's head with black and white hair poked out.

The nose kept twitching.

Then it quickly shrank back.

"Can't smell it."

Wally slapped the kobold in anger.

"I told you not to eat the food the ogre gave you, but you insisted. How could you have eaten it? If it weren't for you, would you have been able to walk for half a month?!"

The dog-headed man took a slap in the face, but he didn't care. He just stretched his neck and looked at the sky.

Wally clutched his head.

"You were fine, but you insisted on joining the Yigo Cult. Look, you ended up with a body that couldn't even be found."

"Is Brother Ali dead?"

"What do you think? It's all over this town. The ranger here killed a halfling."

"We're not going to seek revenge, are we?"

The kobold shrank his neck.

There are many clans within the kobold race, some known for their bravery, while others are known for their stupidity.

The one with black and white hair must be the latter.

Wally was silent for a moment.

"First, find Ali's body. Halflings have a custom of burying him in his hometown."

Wally and Ali didn't have a deep relationship, but the Brotherhood had given him a mission, so he had to at least bring something back.

"I heard that the forest ranger has a succubus."

The dog-headed man's hips swayed in the air a few times.

"Succubi can't transform into gnolls. They don't want to become too low-level creatures." Wally hit.

He knew that this brother was cuckolded by the goddess in his hometown, and he always felt a little unbalanced.

The kobold immediately collapsed.

"It's boring. Humans are so ugly. They don't even have hair."

The two opened the medicine bottle.

Purple smoke enveloped them, making their figures translucent.

"Damn dwarves, why is the quality so poor!"

Cursing silently, Wally led his little brother into the forest.

After a moment, the kobold exclaimed.

"It smells like Aligo!"

He pointed toward the edge of the tree.

Wally looked and saw nothing.

"Is it blood?"

"More than that, it's a taste deeper than blood."

"Buried in the earth?"

"No, I can't smell the soil."

He frowned upon hearing that.

"That's there, too! This is there, too! Oh, there's one up there, too!"

The Kobolds kept exclaiming, "Brother Ali is everywhere!"

Wally paled.

"Could it be that"

The image of a forest ranger dressed as a butcher comes to mind.

"When did the Kingdom's officials become so cruel!?"

The kobold suddenly exclaimed again and pointed to a ranger's hut in the distance.

"Look, Brother Wally, there's a cabin over there."

The two were quite far away, but could see a light still flashing in the cabin, the windows blocked by curtains.

Wally vaguely saw two people fighting.

He quickly used the spiritual technique to enhance his hearing.

Then came low curses and pleas for mercy from a smoky voice, which soon developed into a stubborn and painful groan.

Then he saw a splash of liquid onto the curtains.

"It's blood!"

Wally was shocked.

As expected of the Kingdom of Esseron, even the forest ranger is such a ruthless character.

"Don't go there!"

Seeing that the dog-headed man was still trying to go over, he quickly stopped him.

"Go! Now!"

Wally twisted the back of the kobold's neck and quickly retreated.

Regardless of the spiritual exhaustion, he left with all his strength, not stopping until he was completely out of the forest.

At this time, the dog-headed man finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother Wally, what did you find?"

Wally told him his guess.

The dog-headed man was immediately scared half to death.

"No wonder Brother Ali is everywhere. It turns out the forest rangers separated him."

"How could someone who could kill Ali be a simple person?" Wally shook his head secretly. "Maybe we can't deal with him, but we can shift our focus to intelligence gathering, which will also allow us to handle the missions within the Brotherhood."

"I agree with both hands and feet."

The two walked away from the woods.

Slowly disappeared into the night.

At the edge of the White Elm District, a lovely half-deer lady hid behind a tree, looking timidly in the direction the two people left.

After a while.

Rod was sitting in the cabin breathing fresh air.

Terry has recently been enjoying playing characters of different races.

Tonight is a strong and chaste elf lady.

Suddenly, Vivian came out from a big, thick tree.

"Good evening, Vivian."

Vivian nodded and told Xiao Ke, the half-deer man, what she had seen in a halting voice.

"They mentioned the Brotherhood? Something?"

Rhodes looked up at the starry sky.

In fact, after staying in the forest for a long time, he didn't know much about the new organizations on the mainland.

"I'm going into town tomorrow, so I'll ask David."

Also, this group of people really came to the forest to take it easy.

Especially the location of the cabin.

Maybe I should also set up some defenses.

Vivian handed over two portraits.

A kobold and a human.

The painting is exquisite and lifelike.

"Did you draw it?"

"Xiao Ke." Vivian shook her head.

Rhodes then remembered that the half-deer man was a natural artist with great attainments in music and painting.

The next day, Quartz Town.

Inside the city hall.

"Leave it to me. The Lord takes this matter very seriously, and everyone involved will be given special care."

David took the two portraits.

"As for the Brotherhood, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Brotherhood of the Ruins."

"Brotherhood of Ruin?"

"An organization composed of marginalized people and exiles, who live by accepting commissions together. You know that when these people get together, they are easily exploited."

Rhodes nodded.

It is obvious that these people have a strong need for recognition.

Especially the exiles of certain races, who value honor more than anything else and have survived to this day just to return to their clans.

"By the way, Pete is here. He said he found what you wanted."

Pete.

Merchants who often pass through Quartz Town.

Rhodes had commissioned him to acquire some things before.

"Thank you. I'll go find him."
