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

Chapter 318 Crown
"Well!"

Ty Lee cried out in pain.

Woke up in a daze.

The first time he saw his master holding him, he didn't feel scared at all. Instead, he smiled and wiggled in Rhodes' arms.

Touching here and there.

"You've been tricked, you know?"

"I know~ But the master is here~"

Rhode pinched both of her cheeks and said seriously:
"Any idea what caused it?"

There were hallucinogenic spores in front of the stone gate, which were obviously placed by the people of the Mycelium Tribe.

He really couldn't be sure whether it was the golden crown or some other backup plan of the Mycelium Tribe.

Ty Lee pointed to the golden crown.

"When I saw this thing, I felt someone talking in my ear. The voice was deep and serious, reaching deep into my head, and then I lost consciousness."

She didn't dare look at the crown while speaking, her face buried tightly in Rhodes' chest.

The warm and sweet breath brushed against the skin, making it itchy.

It seems that the succubus is just tough on the outside, but she also knows how to be afraid.

Rhodes patted her little head comfortingly, stroking her soft black hair all the way to the back of her head.

She looked up and smirked. "Pat the back of the head? I remember that was a little trick between you and that orc. Want to use it on Ty Lee too? Sure, let's do it quickly before they search this place."

"Don't even think about it."

[Will of the Sky] did not trigger any warnings.

But this was obviously a mental shock.

So it seems that the crown was picking people. Did it skip him because his mental resistance was too strong?

In other words, conscious?

Um.
It is not uncommon for treasures to have consciousness. The Magic Control Alliance's containment department probably has quite a few such treasures.

As luck would have it, there happens to be a deputy director of the containment department here.

"It's time to let the experts come out."

Rhodes was also unwilling to touch this strange thing.

He went to explain the situation to the people who were still dealing with the corpses.

In fact, the only ones who dealt with the corpses were the bunny girl Ona and the Protoss Hayley, who used the magician's hands to avoid contact with blood.

The words of the mushroom man Noah.

He sat down on the ground, inhaling the hallucinogenic spores emitted by the hallucinogenic mushrooms on the wall.

Mushroom people.

They generally have severe addiction to hallucinogenic spores.

Moreover, they do not like to deal with corpses, especially burning them. They believe that death is returning to nature, and letting the corpse decompose over time would be the best funeral.

Of course, it would be even better if you could plant hallucinogenic spores on the corpse of a close friend or loved one.

"That's the way it is."

Rhodes briefly explained the situation.

And he asked Ona to go with him to deal with the golden crown.

"I also know spells like [Mind Barrier] to defend against illusions."

The Star Spirit Hayley spoke.

Obviously, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Rodona and the others for leaving her aside.

After all, he is a high-level seventh-level mage, so he should have some pride.

How powerful can the mental confusion be that even a sixth-level spiritual warrior like you can be immune to?
It's not that she looked down on Rhodes, but this has never been the forte of spiritual warriors. No matter how strong Rhodes is in combat, she really can't imagine that her spells can't match his mental resistance.

Everyone has some weaknesses. If you are strong in everything, how can I survive?
"Wait a moment, Miss Hayley. Oona is good at mental magic and has a slight advantage. We will lead the charge first. If anything goes wrong, you will pull us back and control us."

Rhodes persuaded for a while.

It mainly illustrates the importance of her position.

Haley frowned, somewhat reluctantly.

But having said that, she couldn't object to the team's decision. So, Rhode and Ona went deeper into the underground river tunnel.

As for Terry, she hid back in Rhodes' shadow and didn't dare to come out for the time being.

"Another girl, Rod."

Oona chuckled.

"Friends, this time we are really friends. This is only the second time we meet."

Rhodes spread his hands.

Because the Protoss wanted to actively infect themselves with the beast disease, which was an unbelievable thing to do, he actually had a certain psychological barrier towards this race.

Maybe they are really pursuing their own ideals, but I can't agree with this process.

"Friends? You might think so. But she might not be. I found out she secretly took off her skirt. It's not nice to talk bad about other girls behind their backs."

".You know what? In my hometown, if you say half of your words, you will be attacked by the flower demon."

"What will happen to the flower demon?"

Ona saw him stop talking mid-sentence and asked further questions.

Then I turned around and saw him shrugging, and I knew he was doing it on purpose, and I couldn't help but laugh at him.

Maybe it hit her funny spot.

The bunny girl burst into laughter and slapped Rhodes several times.

Back to the topic.

The two came to the stone gate.

Ona had already applied multiple mental protections to herself in advance.

But when she officially faced the golden crown, she still cried out in surprise.

Fortunately, they are indeed rabbit people who are good at mental magic.

She soon recovered.

"Yeah, it's the type that requires eye contact. As long as you don't look at it, the mental effects on it won't work."

"Could it be conscious? I've been watching it, but I don't feel affected at all. When Terry and I came over just now, only Terry was affected."

"It's hard to say, we need testing to know."

talking.

Ona took out a camera ball and started recording.

Then she chanted a spell, and a diamond-shaped magic barrier wrapped around the golden crown on the tree stump.

"The barrier protecting the mind is ineffective. Eye contact will still affect me."

He turned on the camera ball again and played the image just now.

"Even images can be affected?"

Ona frowned. "The level of mental influence of this crown is quite high. Eye contact with any mage below level eight is not recommended."

Rhodes found it quite novel.

This was his first time conducting a Magic Control Alliance containment operation.

Although it was clearly stated when he joined the company that he had to perform at least two tasks per month, Ona demonstrated the strength of the management and made internal arrangements to assign him as a member of the containment department, while also exempting him from the number of attendance tasks.

Therefore, Rhodes, who had been an employee of the Magic Control Union for several months, had actually never been on a mission.

He also received double salary from both the Field Affairs Department and the Reception Department, but it wasn't much.

Here.

Ona deepened the color of the barrier, completely covering the crown.

"Once the eye contact ends, the mental influence will also disappear. Let's leave it like this for now. This is probably something from the Mycelium Tribe. It wouldn't be good for us to forcibly contain it."

"nailed it?"

She smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Far from it. This is just preliminary control. I guess the key point is after contact with the entity. After all, after the mental influence, its order is 'Put on the crown'."

"The highlight comes after I put on the crown, right?"

"You can say that."
