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

Chapter 224 Past and Training

Rhodes is not a man who is good at pleasing girls.

After all, with this face, he basically doesn't have to pay anything to get what he wants.

The Rosalia in front of him was a master, or at least a master at fooling people.

Even if her surprise was fake, as a tooth fairy with certain insect characteristics, her love for flowers must be genuine.

Thinking like this.

The induction of [Treasure Fetish] suddenly activated.

Rhodes was slightly stunned.

Move your eyes according to your feeling.

I immediately saw a shrub branch on the shelf next to the waiter at the entrance of the flower shop which was decorated with flowers.

There are no green leaves on it, but it is covered with bright red petals that are curled upwards, like a held high flame.

Rhodes recognized this flower species, called Dragon Tooth Flower, and its flower language is glory.

It’s not that he is very knowledgeable.

One time when he was buying supplies on the street, he met the witch Demia who was also shopping in the flower shop.

She came here to accumulate material for her pornographic novel.

After all, the brave Ophir is a flower demon, and many of his stories are related to flowers.

The two chatted for a while and talked about the language of various flowers, among which they mentioned the dragon tooth flower with a very distinctive appearance.

Rhodes pulled up the branches on the shelf.

['Treasure Fetish' activated successfully]

[Gives the item 'Dragon Tooth Flower' the treasure attribute: spotless]

[Details: The item 'Dragon Tooth Flower' will not wither and can be used to clean dust in enclosed spaces of any size.]

Forehead.
The words "any size" are very intimidating, but they cannot hide the fact that this is a treasure of little use.

Rhodes himself didn't need it.

But, 'the treasure I cherish'?
Apparently, our ranger is interested in flower fairies but doesn't think much about flowers.

Then the only possibility is that the Tooth Fairy will be around.

Something.

This skill can not only find treasures, but also cater to people's needs.
Rhodes simply handed it to her and said with a smile:

"The flower language of Aralia dasyphylla is glory. I hope you can also become a female warrior fighting for freedom and dignity."

Rosalia was stunned for a moment.

He took the dragon tooth flower with the small hand whose index finger and ring finger were wrapped with a black and purple insect exoskeleton.

The petals that grew upward like torches made her feel dazed for a moment.

"Mr. Rhodes, have I ever told you about my tribe?"

She said blankly.

"No, but I heard about your journey all the way here from Gem City at the City Hall."

Rhodes didn't understand.

"Fifty years ago, a human wizard launched a campaign to capture and exterminate the goblins. As the most talented Tooth Fairy of the younger generation, I was considered the pride of my tribe. However, I was unable to save the tribe when it suffered a devastating blow. I was even not considered a Tooth Fairy because my body shape was similar to that of a human."

She looked at Rhodes expressionlessly, her eyes complicated and filled with sadness.

"Mr. Rhodes, do you think someone like me can still afford this gift?"

[Rage Points +10]

A tooth fairy with regret and rage in her heart?
Rhodes did not say anything to comfort him.

He only had lustful thoughts about this young lady, and nothing much else was involved, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to her mental state.

"Of course you can. You can choose not to be that kind of female warrior."

Said with a hint of casualness.

A trace of shame and anger flashed across Rosalia's face, but then she quickly felt relieved and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Mr. Rhodes, you are the first man who has fooled me like this."

"How could that be? I'm just offering a second option."

Without waiting for her to finish, she stuffed the large bouquet of roses back into Rhodes' arms, held the dragon tooth flower in one hand and lifted her long skirt with the other, trotting forward a few steps. Then, she turned around with her skirt fluttering.

"I was wrong. Mr. Rhodes doesn't know how to coax girls. I don't like roses at all. Dragon's tooth flower is just right."

After saying that, she ran away and quickly disappeared on the street.

Rhodes looked at her pretty back as she left and clenched his fists slightly.

It feels like there is drama.

Although there is no guarantee that this is also the other party's routine.

No more wandering around the market.

After reporting to the city hall, Rhodes immediately returned to the forest.

I haven't trained in the past two days at [Cat Fairy Paradise], and I feel a little guilty.

I have to go back to training and make up for it.

Moreover, among the spoils of this battle, whether it is the [Exploding Emerald], or the [Magic Drainage], [Yolandi's Ice Blade Domain], and [Discussion and Speculation on the Land Naga Spiritual Art 'War Spirit'] given by the Witch Cat later, they are all quite good things.

It is necessary to learn.

As for [Advanced Shadow Shaping]

This spell can use shadow matter to simulate evocation spells no higher than level seven, which is quite practical.

It would be better if Tylee, who is good at shadow magic, could learn it.

Came to the meadow between Henry Farm and the forest.

Rhodes happened to see Tiflin Saixier practicing spiritual magic on her own.

We said hello but didn't talk.

The two of them trained on their own.

Rhodes was the first to choose to learn the eighth-level spiritual technique [Yulandi's Ice Blade Domain].

Speaking of which, the classification of spiritual arts and magic spells is not entirely based on power.

It is based more on the complexity of the spell and the abilities required to cast it.

What is particularly obvious is that most mages can cast the low-level spell [Brightness] without chanting or using any spell materials.

The slightly more advanced sixth-level spell [Spatial Shift] requires brief chanting and hand gestures.

Of course, if some spell materials are added, the effect will be even better.

It can even reach a distance of about one thousand meters.

The more advanced eighth and ninth levels require a lot of casting time and preparation, and the power they bring is naturally stronger.

This is why spiritual magic is not as good as magic.

Spiritual magic was created by humans based on the native spiritual magic of various intelligent races. They do not naturally need chanting or casting materials.

It depends more on their own spirituality and bloodline.

Therefore, spiritual warriors also prefer techniques that do not require chanting.

[Yulandi's Ice Blade Domain], this is a spiritual technique whose 'complexity' is greater than the 'ability required to cast'.

It mainly involves the manipulation of spirituality into something similar to a transmutation spell.

For others, it’s a difficult process.

Spiritual warriors are inherently rough and cannot do this kind of delicate work unless they reach a high level.

But for Rhodes, who had swallowed more than a dozen spirit seeds, it was not a difficult task.

Less than ten minutes.

The spiritual power in Rhodes' hand transformed into frost.

A blue ice crystal immediately appeared on the palm of his hand.

[Yulandi's Ice Blade Domain], as the name suggests, this is an area-wide skill.

After fully mastering it, it can at least extend a sword blade ice crystal area with a radius of five meters.

At this time, Rhodes solved the most difficult part in less than ten minutes.

“Then it’s just a matter of time.”
