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

Chapter 190 Negotiations Begin

"Eye Demon?"

The beholder is a spherical creature with a floating spell, with half of it being an eyeball and half being a big mouth, which is disgusting and terrifying.

The most eye-catching thing is the ten eye stalks on the eye demon's body, each ending in a small eyeball.

The Eye Demon is a master creature of magic rays, and various rays are emitted from its eyeballs.

As for the Observer Beholder Patty mentioned in the newspaper, he is actually a very famous high-level creature in the Misty Forest.

Beholder Patty was summoned here by a high-ranking wizard, with the duty of guarding something in the forest.

However, the relationship between this creature with the magic eye that guards the treasure and humans is not as hostile as water and fire.

Patty is a chatterbox, and a lonely chatterbox.

It speaks to almost everyone it passes, openly discussing its duties and its summoner, and repeatedly and secretly denouncing the summoner's irresponsibility.

Of course, the premise is that you don't attack the treasure it is guarding.

Patty has a very good reputation in the Misty Forest. It is an eighth-level magical creature, but the local residents are not afraid of it and even want to create a Beholder Carnival around it.

But the situation becomes complicated when there are too many people. There are always people who are confused by its cheerful personality and therefore have ideas about the treasure.

But often in the end, there is only a stone statue or a charred corpse left in the forest.

The local city hall picks up corpses in the forest every year. As Eye Demon Patty becomes more famous, there are more and more corpses. In order to avoid being targeted by the kingdom, they had to give up the carnival plan.

The guardian term of Eye Demon Patty is 101 years, and this year is the 100th year. Unexpectedly, he was killed before liberation.

The newspapers were full of regrets about this matter.

The bard who wrote this report also collected statements from fans of Beholder Patty, who are said to be planning to form an Avengers Alliance to avenge Beholder Patty.

Rhodes inexplicably remembered the reward that the Bone Dragon Megan returned that day - a piece of Eye Demon's flesh.

"It must be a coincidence."

Didn't think much about it.

Spent an hour under the awning.

Calliste returned with the unconscious Xiao Ke and immediately placed her in a temporary hospital.

Fortunately, the mental burden was not too heavy and two days of rest was enough.

"Xiao Ke's talent might be much better than I thought. According to calculations, it will take her at least three hours to fully activate the [Book of Destiny]."

As Callister spoke, she handed Rhodes a blue water ball.

Rhodes: "Maybe she's eager to protect Vivian. What is this?"

But the elf had no answer.

"I don't know what Xiao Ke saw in the Book of Destiny. She took this thing out and asked me to give it to you, then she fainted."

She shrugged. "Even if Xiao Ke wakes up, I can't tell you. The flow of fate must always remain mysterious. Allowing the half-deer people to spy on us is already the limit. Just take this thing with you on the road, it will definitely be useful."

The time came two days later.

Iku Hillside.

A tense negotiation unfolded here.

The Windy City side consists of the Tooth Fairy Rosalia, the Witch Demia and the old gentleman Humbert.

Coral Bay has two tieflings and one human.

Each side has a group of people behind them.

The Coral Bay side was a mixture of tall golems, humans, and tiefling armies.

Rhodes and his group mingled at the back of the Quartz Town Sheriff, watching the negotiation table from afar.

The Tooth Fairy Rosalia had invited him to attend, but he had no intention of participating and was just a background figure.

The negotiations at the front quickly evolved from gentle inquiries to heated verbal battles and passionate exchanges.

Obviously, this was just a bluff most of the time, and the soldiers behind either side did not make any moves.

"How boring, Master! Let's go into the woods!" Terry poked half of her head out from Rod's shadow.

Callister warned: "Hide well, succubus, the plague mage named Amel has not yet appeared."

Tai Li retorted, "I'm not as useless as you. My master dotes on me. With the infusion of a large amount of energy, my shadow spells have greatly improved. A mere seventh-level cultivator couldn't even notice it~~"

Hearing this, the elf glanced at Rhodes, who was looking at the prosthetic limb in the zombie Selina's hand, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Humph! If you are so indulgent, you will die in bed sooner or later!"

"Really?! Then I can get a taste of my dead master!"

Callister felt annoyed when she heard this and simply didn't bother to talk to her.

At this moment, Rhodes was holding Selina's alchemical prosthesis, his eyes shining.

have to say.

This brass armor shape! This precision-built mechanical feel!
Alchemical prosthetics, so damn cool!

Or, should I get one too?
Selena: "You're breaking me."

"Sorry, sorry. I got carried away. Didn't you weaken the pain of touch?"

The zombie shook his hands, and the mechanical movement made the sound of pulleys of a precise mechanism.

"Alchemical prosthetic limbs require neural connections. I'm a zombie, and my physical nerves have weakened. In order to use them smoothly, the dwarf craftsman had to re-stimulate my sense of touch and pain to activate them."

"That's it"

Rhodes reached out and pinched her face: "Does it hurt?"

".a little."

"Great! If you dare to do something to me next time, I'll hang you up and beat you, like, take off your pants."

"."

For the first time, Selina wondered if she had made a wrong choice by agreeing to be enslaved.

Rhodes: "Are there any obstacles to using magic?"

“Not much different from a healthy arm.”

Selina didn't seem to want to talk about this topic anymore, and instead whispered, "The progress on the overload ring is pretty good. We expect the first batch of prototypes to be ready in a month."

Despite having both his hands broken, the former student of Bahadur, who was passionate about studying magic, did not slack off.

Whenever she had time, she would use the [Mage's Hand] to look through her notes and study them, saying that she was simulating the situation in her head.

"Well done."

"Thank you, Master Quantu. Once this task is completed, I'd like to return to my research on cosmic life and labyrinths."

"It's up to you, as long as it doesn't damage the forest and doesn't affect the people around."

"Thank you, my master."

Rhode patted her head and smiled, "Also, don't let it have a negative impact on you. I'm really worried about someone like you who turned yourself into a zombie for research."

Selina looked up at him, expressionless and silent.

Tifflin Seher walked over and said with a smile, "Mr. Rhodes, you have a really good relationship with your partners."

When setting out this morning.

Everyone met this tiefling girl who took refuge in the forest.

As soon as she heard that she was going to participate in the negotiations, she came over enthusiastically to help, saying that she would do her best.

Rhodes wanted to refuse, after all, he was dealing with a seventh-level plague mage.

But then he thought, after all, he was a level five person, so it would be fine for him to just play with the rookie sheriff in Quartz Town, so he agreed.

"hehe."

Rhode rested his elbow on Selina's head. "Many people in the forest used to be bad guys, but I changed them with my love."
