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

Chapter 305 Star Spirits

The time when the Brotherhood of Ruin invaded Quartz Town.

Rhodes was once ambushed by a Protoss mage, an intelligent race with light blue blood and translucent flesh.

They are naturally weak and cannot fight in close combat, and almost all of them are mages.

I've also encountered mushroom people.

In Terry's words, it's a mushroom man.

During the invasion of the demon Atu, a sixth-level peak fungus mage named Toru was captured by Rhodes and is still in the prison of Quartz Town.

I heard that the Tooth Fairy Rosalia wanted to recruit him before.

It's just that this guy was addicted to psychedelic mushrooms, and she was worried that it would damage the image of the city hall, so she didn't take action.

After the attack of the beastmen in the Claw Valley Mountains, she probably wouldn't care too much.

Rhodes scanned the battlefield.

In addition to the mushroom people and the Protoss people, the corpses of several beastmen were also seen.

One of the two-meter-tall beastman corpses had its forehead chopped in half by a stone axe. Based on the spiritual residue on his body, Rhodes judged that he was a spiritual warrior at half a step to the seventh level.

The blood in their bodies really seemed to be free, and it was still flowing continuously. The dark red blood gathered under their bodies to form a small pool of blood.

I used the identification technique on it and unexpectedly found something interesting.

"Neither the myconids nor the protoss are infected"

It's fine that the fungus people can't be infected because they have no blood circulation, but why is it that the Protoss people can't be infected? Because their blood is light blue?

"Now it seems that perhaps they died together. Someone is coming, Terry, hide first."

"Okay~~"

Ty Lee disappeared into the shadows.

Rhodes turned his head to look at the sky, and saw two more huge gargoyles flying towards him.

On their shoulders stood a Protoss wearing a brown mage robe.

The two Protoss looked at the battlefield on the ground with grief on their faces.

It seems that those who died in the battle were their companions.

Land slowly.

They were wary of Rhodes, but didn't seem to have any intention of taking action.

This is normal, after all, he is standing on the edge of the battlefield.

Rhodes shrugged and made room for them to clean up their companions' bodies.

The Protoss people value the remains of their fellow Protoss people very much. They believe that every Protoss person is a small part of the stars. Only by returning the dead body to the stars can they get guidance to return home.

um, yes.

The Protoss do not consider themselves the native race of this continent, but rather the sons of the stars who traveled from the distant starry sky.

In fact, it’s not surprising to think so.

Rhodes thought about it for a moment.

When he cut open the body of the Protoss who ambushed him, he saw stars like the Milky Way in their muscles and bones.

A slightly taller Protoss who was cleaning up the bodies of his companions in front suddenly turned his head.

He looked at Rhodes fiercely.

"You've killed a Protoss?!"

Ok?
Mind reading?

No, it's impossible. Even the eighth-level nanny mage Ona of the rabbit race couldn't read his mind, let alone a seventh-level Protoss mage.

Could it be that the Protoss will mark the murderer before they die?
This is possible.

Rhodes did not hide it either.

He frankly stated that half a year ago, a Protoss who joined the Brotherhood of Ruin ambushed him on the road.

Upon hearing this, the tall Star Spirit frowned slightly.

Another Star Spirit said, "The mark in his body is very shallow, and it matches what it was six months ago."

It turned out to be a girl's voice.

She was wearing a hood, and her translucent body made it difficult to see clearly. But Rhode took a closer look and found that her face was quite delicate and beautiful.

He was just wearing a loose wizard robe, so his figure couldn't be seen.

"Who knows whether he was the one ambushed or the one who ambushed?"

The male Protoss said coldly.

"Don't get distracted, the mission is important."

"The mission is important, but so are the lives of our fellow tribesmen!"

Say it.

After he placed the body, he took out his staff and cast a lie detector test.

"Sir, please prove that you are not lying." His tone was cold and his face was defiant.

Rhodes curled his lips.

The spell to detect lies requires a Willpower and Mental Resistance check. If the check is successful, the player can resist the detection long enough to continue the lie.

The strength of this male Star Spirit Mage in the early seventh stage is only average.

It's impossible to detect whether he's lying.

He shook his head, too lazy to explain.

Instead, he smiled at the Star Spirit girl and said, "Ms. Mage, you are so beautiful. May I ask your name?"

The girl frowned:
"Sir, I suggest you answer our questions first."

"Frankly speaking, this wizard's magic power isn't strong enough to detect whether I'm speaking or not, so it's useless to say anything."

"Haha." The male Star Spirit sneered disdainfully, "You're just a sixth-level spiritual warrior. How dare you speak so arrogantly? I think you're just guilty."

Rhodes shook his head calmly.

"Even without me, my subordinates can easily bypass your detection, Tai Li."

"Meow~~"

Ty Lee jumped out from the shadows.

It's so cute, fiddling with its ears like a cat.

The two Protoss mages were shocked when they saw a person suddenly jump out.

They had already explored this place, but they didn't even notice that there was a cat-man hiding in the shadows.

Then the cat-man laughed and shouted towards the magic ball of lie detector:
"You are your grandma~~"

Ding-dong-

The magic ball turns green, indicating that the statement is true.

With the skill of [Deceiving Gods and Ghosts], Tai Li can naturally bypass the judgment easily.

The male Protoss's expression changed and he suddenly became a little embarrassed.

“You must have used something.”

"Jeremy, that's enough."

The girl came forward and interrupted her companions.

"This gentleman is sincere and polite enough. I can tell he is not a man who kills indiscriminately. Otherwise, with Miss Catwoman's stealthy methods, dealing with two mages would be a piece of cake. I'm very sorry, sir, we have offended you."

Rhodes waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"I care more about your name, Miss Mage."

"My name is Hailey, and I'm the captain of the second team of the Star Association's Security Department. This is Jeremy, my subordinate."

Star Association?

never heard of that.

Rhodes secretly used the [Chain of Far Words] to connect with the elf Callister and asked about the related matters.

[Callister: The Protoss firmly believe that their homeland is somewhere in the vast Milky Way. Therefore, they regard the Milky Way as their mother and the stars as their brothers. They established an organization with the goal of protecting the peace of the stars and returning to their homeland. Where have you been?]

[Rod: On the Koch Plains, I encountered the Protoss while clearing out high-level lycanthropy.]

Callister: Hmm. Not surprising. I don't know what's wrong with the Protoss these days. They actually think that lycanthropic blood can help them find their way back home, and so they actively become infected with lycanthropic blood.
