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

Chapter 248 Queuing and Gift Giving
"500g of Moonsilver Water, 150g of Ruby Dust, twelve index fingers of a clay golem, and a runestone soaked in holy oil."

Rhodes once again took the brass elevator to the Magic Control Union.

In his hand was a list with columns of materials listed.

Among them were those needed by the zombie Selina to make a magic ring, and some were purchased by the elf Callister on his behalf.

There are also small experimental materials that the ghoul Penny uses to eliminate the ghoul servant disease.

However, the magic experiments conducted by Penny are most likely some irregular and unconventional methods.

So it took her a full hour of oral sex to convince Rod.

Of course, Rhodes himself also has material needs.

The construction of the fighting spirit has recently come to an end, and it only needs a solidification ceremony to be completely completed.

In addition to buying a batch of heating stones and heating amulets, Rhodes also brought an extra spell bag this time.

No hanging around.

Rod headed straight for the market area.

After passing through the service hall and checking the employee badge in his hand, he took the magic elevator exclusively for internal staff.

The buttons in the elevator are not one, two, three, or four, but directly indicate the areas that can be reached.

For example, the reception branch, market area, information area, conference hall, etc.

Anyway, it has a modern feel.

Rod pressed the button for the market area.

A message popped up:
[The number of people in the market area has reached the upper limit of 2000/2000]

[Employee number kdh9527, you are waiting in line, ticket number N3651, and there are still 1262 people waiting in front of you.]

"Locke's Heart" is at your service. If you have any questions, please go to the service hall for consultation.

"?"

Rhodes stood there in a daze.

The brass elevator door opened, revealing the same scene as the first floor lobby.

He could only walk out.

"What's going on?"

I've been there several times before, and every time it was deserted. Why is it so busy now?

There are still 1262 people waiting ahead.

Rhodes's head really hurts.

It is impossible to wait. If we wait for these thousands of people, it is hard to say what will be left in the market area.

After all, we have some connections in the Magic Control League.

Rhodes went to the service hall and made an appointment with Ona, the deputy director of the shelter department.

Ona was very considerate and approved it immediately.

Of course, face has to be given to each other, and Rhodes couldn't go empty-handed.

He found a batch of seasonal fruits in the magic bag, and also found some rare carvings with special magical effects.

what?
You ask why Rhodes's wizard bag even contains seasonal fruits?
It’s hard to satisfy everyone. There are too many girls in the forest, and our forest rangers are always ready.

Ona.

Of course, you can't give her small accessories like you would a little girl.

Although he is not your direct supervisor, you still need to be careful when giving gifts at this time.

It can't be too expensive, otherwise people will think you have something important to ask for.

Don't be too casual, otherwise people will think you don't take it seriously.

The thought is important, the value is secondary.

Um.
Rhodes thought for a moment and placed a row of magic rings made of colorful metal underneath the seasonal fruits.

This is a cute version of the magic ring that Selena made at his strong request, specifically to make girls happy.

The spells in it are not for combat, most of them are daily spells.

A magic ring shouldn't be considered an accessory, right?
This is a magic item.

I remember that when I gave her the dark pink Masai crystals last time, Ona seemed to like them very much. I guess she likes these.

It just so happens that coloring magic rings is a trend in newspapers recently, so I'm trying to catch up with the trend.

A newspaper in the Heavenly Flower Kingdom severely condemned this behavior, claiming that it was an insult to the magic ring.

Even the people in the Heavenly Flower Kingdom don't care about this newspaper.

Prepare gifts.

Then, using the Soul-Shaking Blade's [Packaging Technique], I beautifully arranged it into a generous gift. Pretty weird, right?

[Soul Tremor Blade] actually even has this kind of skill.

There are even weirder ones.

A while ago, Rhodes used the [Hair Cleansing Technique] on his sword, and his lower body is still bald.

"What a crazy skill."

Rhodes shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Head straight to Ona's office.

soon.

Rhodes came to the office door and gently pulled the bell on the door.

click-

The door opened immediately, and the nanny mage Ona appeared in the doorway.

The white hood still covered half of his face, and the lower half of his wheat-colored face showed a sweet smile.

"Rod! Long time no see!"

"Lady Ona."

Rhodes smiled and handed over the gift.

Before Ona could react, the first thing she saw was a row of magic rings of different colors.

"It's a colorful ring!"

"Colored ring?"

"Haha, that's the nickname given to this dyed magic ring by female mages."

"I see."

The two of them hurried into the office.

Only then did Rhodes realize that there were two other guests inside.

One was a human female, and the other was actually a tall woman with bull horns.

The two women sat on the sofa in the corner, expressionless.

Ona didn't care at all and sat with Rod in the guest seat at the desk.

She was delighted to see the prey and without any hesitation, she took out the row of colorful rings.

"This dyeing spell, which doesn't damage the ring's function, is very rare. It's sold out as soon as it appears on the market. Lady Yulia sent me there several times but I couldn't find any. Is it very expensive? Eh, it's not dyed?"

Ona's eyes lit up slightly.

She picked one up. Under the light of the [Brightness Spell], the color was warm and naturally translucent. It was obviously made of specially used colored materials and looked much better than those made with the dyeing spell.

"It's the same craftsmanship as the Heavenly Flower Country, but the quality is inferior. Is it a private creation from the Heavenly Flower Country?"

Rhodes didn't want to reveal his ability to make magic rings to Ona for the time being, and he had already thought of an excuse.

"I bought it from a familiar goblin merchant. It's said to have come from within the Heavenly Flower Country."

The so-called private creations are a batch that people in the magic ring factory secretly kept and released outside.

Such things have happened several times in the Heavenly Flower Kingdom, so it is not surprising.

Ona was envious.

"You're so lucky! Lady Yulia and I can't even buy dyed ones, and yet you've already got this good stuff. Wait, is this for me?"

"Yes."

Rhodes laughed in silence.

"real?!"

The rabbit mage was surprised and stood up suddenly.

The hood fell back a little, revealing a sweet and small face.

The red pupils are extremely attractive, and a strand of white hair falls on the side of the face, making it even more exotic.

Rhodes didn't know that Ona was a rabbit person, he just thought it was a characteristic of humans in certain areas.

I don't have many ideas.

"By the way, Lady Ona, why is the market area so crowded today? I got a queue ticket, but I'm actually behind 1262 people."

"Why call me Lady Ona? Just call me Ona. Market area? Oh! The inspection team led by the Magic Control Union Committee has returned from another dimension with a huge amount of materials. They're all looking for bargains! Don't worry, I have a special passage for supervisors only! I'll take you there!"

Ona looked at the colorful magic ring, couldn't let it go, and said with confidence.
