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

Chapter 2 Skill Sharing and Outsiders

night.

The aroma of cheese tomato soup and rabbit meat spread throughout the cabin.

The two of them ate on and under the table.

While enjoying the food, he spoke incoherently.

"What a pity, Master."

"What's a pity?"

Rhodes took a bite of the tender rabbit meat with a satisfied look on his face.

"That lady looks like someone of status. It's a pity you couldn't hook up with her~"

"Don't try to act like a good kid here. I know you made the noise on purpose to get out."

"No way, it was you who suddenly admitted that you were raising a succubus and made me so flustered~"

Daphne is of noble status, and her father is the Earl of the Kingdom of Aesiron.

Rod had no interest in developing a Romeo and Juliet-style relationship with Daphne.

Besides, Daphne was too girly and not to his taste.

Rod picked up the wooden bowl of cheese and tomato soup, brought it to his lips and sucked.

Terry made the same sound.

"Now that it's out in the open, I'm too lazy to cover it up anymore. From today on, you don't have to stay in my shadow all the time when you're out there."

Terry looked up with a look of surprise.

"Really? Yeah!"

"But you can't reveal your true identity. At least you have to be a human woman in normal clothes."

Rhode was too lazy to hide it, but it was not okay for her to wander around outside with such a devilish appearance.

"no problem!"

Terry didn't care.

As a newborn succubus, she has too much curiosity about the human world.

[Terry's obedience to you +2]

[Obedience reaches 51, unlocking shared skills with Tylee]

【Start random drawing.】

oh?
Rhodes watched as the entries in his field of vision began to scroll, from [Transfiguration] to [Shadow Spell], from [Asomatic Disorder] to [Charming Fluids], all of which were the skills that Tylee possessed as a succubus.

【Successful extraction】

【Shared Skill: Second Heart】

[Details: Succubi have two hearts, one in the chest and one in the abdomen. The powerful pumping of this heart will greatly enhance your physical fitness. Because it is very close to the second heart, your abilities in that area will become extremely powerful.]

In an instant, Rhodes felt a warm current coming from his body.

In a moment, the weakness I had felt in the past few days was gone.

Not only that, the warm current is constantly stimulating his body to become stronger.

Share skills!
nice one!
Even now that Terry had finished her meal.

Rhodes is still full of energy.

"In that case, let me see your limits."

Seeing that Rod took the initiative to come forward, Terry was surprised.

The two men were well-matched in chess and generals, and their fight was so fierce that it made thunderous sounds. The small animals around the cabin could not stand the noise and fled away.

The next morning.

Refreshed, Rhodes tied his things on his horse and prepared to go on patrol.

Terry leaned against a tree, feeling drowsy.

Humans, like succubi, want to sleep after eating.

"What did I say yesterday?"

Rod reminded Terry not to forget the agreement last night.

She is still in her true form as a succubus.

"Good~"

Ty Lee responded dazedly, performing a transformation spell and turning into a woman with short red hair.

The two men sat on horseback, one in front and one behind.

"I need to get some sleep. I ate too much to digest it."

"Row."

Terry curled up in Rod's arms and gradually fell asleep.

Her transformed image was much smaller than before, only about 1.55 meters tall. Rhodes's 1.9 meter tall figure could easily hold her in his arms.

Accompanied by the morning birdsong, the horses moved forward at a steady pace towards the south.

The Wind Wall Forest is very large, and it is impossible for Rhodes, a forest ranger alone, to patrol the entire forest every day.

So Rod divided the entire forest into seven areas, one area for each day of the week.

Of course, it is impossible to visit every corner of every area. There are five watchtowers in the forest, which are enough for Rhodes to observe the situation.

Two hours later, Rhodes climbed up to the No. 2 observation tower on the route.

"good."

Through observation through a monocular telescope, the condition of the trees in this area is obviously much better than yesterday.

Every time he climbed up the watchtower, Rhodes was always attracted by the vast golden desert in the distance.

Desert of Death.

Located in the westernmost part of the Kingdom of Aesiron.

From November to February each year, dramatic sandstorms blow from here all the way to the center of the kingdom.

By then, the entire sky will be a grayish yellow.

In order to prevent wind and sand, the kingdom sent officials to plant and build forests a hundred years ago.

In the past three decades, initial results have been achieved.

This is why the Wind Wall Forest got its name.

Looking at the desert in the distance, Rhodes always thought of the insect civilization on the other side of the Death Desert mentioned in history books.

The Yi people are a race known for their aggression and destruction.

It is said that Yigo is a creature without a brain, and its brain cells and neurons are distributed throughout the body.

"What are you looking at?"

Terry was awake by now, but still unwilling to move.

She transformed into a younger girl and sat directly on Rhodes' neck.

"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of the Yigo tribe on the other side of the desert."

"The Yigo tribe. Just mentioning it makes me want to vomit."

Terry's face was filled with disgust and resentment.

"Have you encountered it?"

"Of course! The great succubus Terry Lilith has drained the essence of all races, including the disgusting Ego tribe, which is covered in slime." She said proudly.

"But I remember that the Yigo people were driven to an isolated land in the far west three hundred years ago."

"That's right, I squeezed it three hundred years ago."

Rhodes glanced at Terry's age on the panel.

[Slavery Target 1: Terry Lilith]

[Race: Succubus]

【Age: 100】

[Obedience: 51]

[Comment: Trivia: A newborn succubus spends 100 years in its egg, learning its mother's experience and magic. You know what a 100-year-old succubus means, don't you?]

Well, this guy is bragging about his mother's experience.

It seems that Terry's transformation skills have not yet reached the highest level. Her intelligence will change with the form she changes into.

At this moment, she is just a chattering arrogant brat.

Of course, perhaps this is the effect the succubus wants.

"The Ego tribe, their language and behavior are very different from other races on the continent, and no other race has ever been able to communicate with them."

"But, Terry's methods are so clever! With just a little trick, she managed to arouse the other person's desire. But I didn't expect that after the deed, this guy actually wanted to take my head off!"

Rhodes nodded.

It is very consistent with the record of the Yigo people in the book.

This is a race of scientists who love to study the brain.

"Luckily, I escaped quickly. Later, I heard that many succubi went to seek excitement with the Ego tribe, but never came back."

Rod:
It is recorded in books and picture albums that the body of the Ego people is a large slug covered with barbs. Two of its four tentacles end in a mouth, nostrils and eye tentacles respectively, and the other two are pincer-like arms.

Terry rubbed her chin.

"I feel like the crazy spells developed by the Ego tribe back then were partly due to our succubus brains."

"It's the spell that drove all 1,200 people in the town insane. My mother feels like there's something... I feel like there's something about succubus."

Rod listened to her chatter in his head.

While observing the woods in this area.

"Ok?"

"Is it really that empty there?"

Rhodes used the magnifying glass and quickly confirmed that the tree density in that small area did not match his impression.

He is sure.

Someone cut down trees.

There is a clear law prohibiting logging in this area. Even if the people in the town are short of wood, they would not be stupid enough to come to this deep forest where it is difficult to walk to look for it.

That's the outsider.

"Are they poachers or visitors from the desert?"
