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

Chapter 254 Ceremony
It is also because he has the incredible skill [Will of the Sky].

Otherwise, the side effects of mental shock after failing to concentrate would be enough to make him suffer a lot.

Rhodes picked up the molar earring in his hand.

No more sticky hands.

There was no spirituality coming either.

The blood line at the root of the molar disappeared, and now it just looked like a dirty, yellowed tooth.

It doesn't look like a treasure at all.

Although no one can see it when it is full.

"It seems that not all treasures have a flamboyant aura."

【Treasure Fetish】Achieve great merit.

I'll go talk to Naulin recently and see if she has any rewards she wants.

“I don’t know when it will be full again.”

Rhodes could feel the spirituality in the molar earring slowly accumulating.

But to be honest, the speed is a bit slow, and God knows when it will be usable again.

Throw it back into the Spell Bag.

Then he took Amy back to her own residence.

While it was still early, Rod sneaked back to the ranger's cabin.

Two days later.

The meadow between Windwall Forest and Henry Farm.

Rod, the elf Callister, the mouse girl No. 13, the half-deer man Xiao Ke, the pony girl Bond, the giant squirrel Tracy and the zombie Penny gathered here.

This is because there are two ceremonies to be held today.

One is Rhodes's fighting spirit solidification ceremony, and the other is the disease removal ceremony of the ghoul slaves.

Yes, after some research.

Callister finally developed a ritual spell to combat the ghoul plague.

Henry Farm's reopening is just around the corner!

I just don't know if anyone is willing to buy the beef, mutton and crops taken care of by the zombies.

But now that he had the magic ring made by Zombie Selina as a way to make money, Rhodes didn't care much about these things.

It's more about letting Penny and Chris find something to do. After all, it's hard to say what the undead race will do when they have nothing to do.

Then why are Xiao Ke, Bond and the giant squirrel here too?
Xiao Ke was observing from the side as a medical staff member, ready for any emergency.

The pony girl Bond was pulled over by Calliste to arrange the ceremony.

After all, I have been learning for quite a long time. Even if I can't do delicate work, some simple arrangements and carvings are still no problem.

That's how it should be.

But Bond has been really lazy lately, especially now that he has a playmate named Tracy the giant squirrel.

So as the ceremony was being arranged, Callister corrected almost every step of the way.

Finally, the elf couldn't stand it anymore and sent her off with a red card.

"woooooo"

The crying Bond wanted to seek comfort from Xiao Ke, but halfway there, he saw the cold eyes of his sister.

She immediately turned around and threw herself into Rhodes' arms.

She buried herself in her arms, whimpering and crying, desperately pulling Rod's coat to cover herself.

Rhodes saw that her practical skills were indeed terrible, and Ben wanted to say a few words.

But Bond cried out, "Hide, hide me."

I felt a little soft-hearted.

The little guy understands shame, so it's not easy to scold him anymore.

Pat her on the back gently.

"It's all right, it's all right. I've hidden Bond."

Wrap her in clothes.

"woooooo"

[Bond's obedience to you +5, current obedience: 63]

[Obedience reaches 63, unlocking shared skills with Bond]

【Start random drawing.】

[Extraction Success] [Shared Skill: King of Polearms]

[Details: Centaurs are the most intelligent race on the continent, adept at wielding polearms, capable of wielding any polearm. At the peak of this skill, even treasure-level polearms that have already been claimed by their master can be seized with bare hands.]

As a lot of tips on how to use long-handled weapons poured into my head.

Rhodes' eyes lit up slightly.

Seize the treasure!

There are very few treasures of the weapon type. The last time he walked through the entire market area of ​​the Magic Control Alliance, he didn't see even a good weapon.

Not to mention treasure-level weapons.

Hehe, if I could meet one, I would turn into a minotaur!

Penny came over with a smile: "It's okay, Bond, we will work hard from today on and make others look at us with admiration."

Bond was polite.

Even when crying, I still remember to say thank you:

"Thank you, Aunt Penny."

Penny's smile froze: "Auntie?"

She turned stiffly to Rhodes and asked silently, "Am I old?"

"I'm already an aunt, so I'm old."

Rod laughed.

Penny was ashamed and angry, and wanted to go over and hit him, but she didn't dare.

I could only bite my lips and lower my head in shame, but secretly cursing in my heart.

Damn you! Who was it that rushed in so hastily the night before yesterday and started fighting without a word?!
How dare your stinky master call me old! Wuuwuwu. The swelling hasn't gone down yet, and you dare to complain about my age afterward. Wuuwuwu.
Xiao Ke came over.

Bond buried his head in Rod's chest and sobbed.

His heart softened for a moment, and he gently touched the back of her head.

"I'm not forcing you, Bond. The world is getting worse and worse, and this forest can't always be peaceful and stable. You have to find your own way."

If someone else said something like this, Rhodes probably wouldn't care.

But these are the half-deer people, the race that is best at language on the continent.

His expression became serious.

"Did you foresee anything?"

Xiao Ke nodded, a bitter look on his face. "It's a demon. In the near future, a demon will obtain a drop of special blood from Purgatory and plan to expand his influence on the surface. Starting from Coral Bay."

blood.
Needless to say, it is the sacred spark blood of Mystra, the founder of the Demonic Network.

Starting from Coral Bay, Dark Elves?
So this demon is most likely the one the dark elves serve?

Xiao Ke wore a thick skirt today, covering her entire deer body, but she was still shivering when she talked about this.

Rod held Bond with one hand and put his arm around Xiao Ke's shoulders.

Massage gently.

Xiao Ke always feels safe from this man.

Her trembling stopped.

When I looked up, I saw a pitiful face, like a frightened little animal.

"Prophecies don't always come true, do they?"

"According to the research of the Snow Hill Evening News, the accuracy rate of the Half-Deer Man's predictions is between 60% and 85%, so... there's a high probability that it will happen."

"Can't you comfort me?"

Rhodes smiled without saying anything and kissed her smooth forehead.

Penny poked her head out from the side, looked at her owner, and then looked at Xiao Ke.

His expression was dull.

Xiao Ke's face flushed and she pushed Rod away.

"Why did you kiss me secretly? You're a hooligan!"

Tracy the giant squirrel trembled with fat on her body and asked nonchalantly, "Bond—are you done crying? Aren't we going to play in the hole we found yesterday?"

Callister was very efficient in setting up the ceremony.

Especially without Bond as a burden.

The ritual to clear the ghoul plague was completed in less than ten minutes.
