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

Chapter 293 Jealousy
"."

Injecting the germ-filled blood of the rat people into the body to treat skin diseases?

And they are born with the hidden danger of beast transformation?

Who is so smart as to come up with this treatment plan? This kind of person should be arrested and hanged!
Just a brief mention here.

Not all ratmen have lycanthropy. Many new generations of ratmen born through magical isolation will have their lycanthropy factors become latent. As a price, their brains won't work very well.

"I know what you're thinking, Mr. Rhodes, but according to those farmers, this method was indeed effective at first, and the symptoms of many patients were suppressed."

Said the tiefling girl Cecil.

There was also some disbelief on her face:
"The Koshi Plains are traversed by the Hanson River. The mutated Sahuagin there are keen to drive out races and monsters that threaten humanity, primarily in exchange for food and equipment from the local city hall. Because of this, there are very few ratmen in the Koshi Plains, which means that there isn't enough ratman blood in Crownshell Town.

In order to pay the high cost of treatment, the Rescue Association had to start looking for a new blood source. The turning point came a month ago when a wizard in a black robe holding a recording stone told them about an unfinished underground city that had collapsed and buried a large number of ratmen corpses.

Rhodes' heart skipped a beat.

No way.
Why does it sound so much like it was done by our extermination team?
But before leaving, Callisto had clearly arranged a purification ritual that would clear all the beastly blood in the underground city within a day.
"So, they found rat-man blood in it?"

"Yes, a large number of unprocessed rat-men corpses. They said they had been dead for at least a day or two."

Hearing this, Rhodes immediately understood.

Shortly after they left, someone took care of Callisto's purification ritual.

And this person is most likely the black-robed wizard holding the recording stone.

But why do this?
A black-robed wizard? The first person Rhodes thought of was the students of Bahadur School of Magic.

Then he immediately gave up guessing the other party's reasons.

If this is really what the academy did, there is no need to think too much, just kill them directly.

Seeing Rhodes's face become serious, Cecilia couldn't help but worry:
"what happened?"

"It's okay, go on. What happens next?"

"What happened next was relatively simple. There was something wrong with the blood of these ratmen, and everyone who received blood therapy contracted lycanthropy. One night, the disease broke out simultaneously, and they went on a rampage. The rescue associations living in the inner towns were terrified and locked their doors, trapping the uninfected humans and the lycanthropes together. The refugees in the outer city had already noticed something was amiss and fled early. After all, many things can't be kept secret."

Rhodes thought about it carefully.

Something doesn't feel right.

He had met a lycanthrope patient on the Koch Plains a month ago, the super-masculine woman Jenna who was confronting the Sahuagin.

Perhaps the outbreak of the beast disease in Guanbei Town occurred earlier than they thought.

"nailed it."

Zombie Selina trotted up to Rod with an expressionless face.

She had already completed the [Wind Wall] ritual and activated it successfully.

A hemispherical wind wall is erected, and even the wind does not need to be very strong, it just needs to block the invasion of wind and sand.

"Well done."

"Today's workload hasn't been completed yet. I need to go back before someone rushes me."

The task volume, of course, refers to the specified number of magic rings to be produced each day.

Rhodes spread his hands:
"Don't think of me as a black-hearted boss exploiting my employees. Today's amount can be reduced by a quarter."

The replica magic ring sold well in the first month and was sold out.

But this does not prove anything immediately. If the subsequent after-sales and sales can be stabilized, he should consider increasing production.

"Wow—really? After a busy morning, the workload has been reduced by a quarter! You are truly a philanthropist, my master."

Selina had no expression on her face, and even her tone of voice didn't change at all, it sounded like she was being sarcastic.
There's no need to listen to her tone, she's definitely being sarcastic.

Rhodes didn't care. Instead, he was amused by her and rubbed her head hard through her hood.

Although the scars on her face have been healed, she is still concerned about her pale, zombie-like face and often covers it up.

【嫉妒+23】

Well.
Looking at the negative emotion points the tiefling girl had added, Rhode was honestly a little surprised by her personality.

The skill related to jealousy in [Negative Emotion Absorption] is [Dark Plunder], which can temporarily plunder the enemy's skills, energy or gains. If the consumption is increased, it may even be permanent.

However, whether it was permanent or temporary plundering, the cost was ridiculously high. Rhode had never had the opportunity and was reluctant to use it.

Using Cecilia to gain jealousy points?
No, no, no, this would probably cause great mental harm to an adolescent girl. Rhodes is a decent man and would not do such a thing as to attack his friend's disciple.

Thinking of this, I feel a little sorry for her.
So Rhodes smiled and touched the girl's head.

Cecilia was stunned for a moment, looking flattered.

"Mr. Rhodes?"

"I'm so glad that Cecilia asked me for help. I feel like I haven't taken care of you much lately."

"how come!"

As she spoke, she giggled and rubbed her fingers together in panic.

【嫉妒+201】

Jealousy+

Oh!
Jealousy points are coming from all directions!

It’s Cecile’s admirers!
Quartz Town is a remote place, so the people here are not affected by serious stereotypes. As a tiefling, she has many unexpected admirers!

But I guess she's pretty enough and human-like enough.

The most obvious features are the tail and reddish skin.

The spiral devil horns grew back and were hidden among the dyed black hair, making them inconspicuous.

Speaking of which, the devil's horns are very sensitive.

After Terry reaches the seventh level, her horns will emit pink light when she is extremely excited. If you grasp them with your hands at this time, her body will tremble and spasm to varying degrees depending on the strength of your grasp. It's quite fun.

So when Rhodes was patting her head to kill, he deliberately avoided the tiefling girl's corner.

However, even if he took the initiative to avoid it, he could not prevent the other party from using his horns to push his palm.

"Hmm~"

Even let out a misleading hum.

Look, zombie Selina suddenly looked over with a strange look in her eyes.

"."

Cecilia woke up suddenly and took a step back, her already slightly red skin becoming even redder.

A look of embarrassment and shame.

"No, Lord Rhodes, it's not like that! I... I..."

"Sorry, I forgot a tiefling's horn is very sensitive. I accidentally touched it. I'm sorry."

Rhodes chose to take the blame.

After all, I am a respectable person, so I have to take care of the sensitive thoughts of the little girl.

After she finished speaking, Cecilia's embarrassed expression eased a little, but she no longer dared to look at him.

I was about to change the subject when my [Spider-Sense] suddenly gave me a warning.

Rhodes turned his head to look.

Then I saw to the south an impenetrable yellow haze.

But his perception clearly told him that three vicious men with wild beast hair appeared at the border of the distant farmland area.
