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

Chapter 343 Defector

"who."

Rhodes said coldly.

He stood up and took a step forward, blocking Xiao Ke behind him.

Although the possibility of lone dark elves cannot be ruled out, given the current environmental situation, the dark elves that appear at this time are most likely from the Coral Bay group.

Amy stood beside him, the crystal machete on her shoulder, and wiped the food residue off her face.

With a fighting look on his face, he said, "Amy likes to digest food after meals."

Unlike Rhode who always wore a coat, she always liked to bare her arms even in winter, with leather gauntlets tied around her wrists, revealing a pair of arms that were much stronger and tougher than a man's.

Coupled with a rough crystal machete that was half the height of a man, he looked even more intimidating than Rhodes.

Ty Lee hid in the shadows, waiting for her chance. Yuna's face was cold, ready to cast spells and provide support at any time.

"I have no ill intentions."

When the dark elf in the distance saw this scene, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons and tactfully stopped approaching.

"My name is Atticus, and I belong to the Black Moon Clan. I'm 268 years old this year, and my birthday is July 15th. My magic power is at the lower sixth level, and I specialize in conjuration spells. Because I became a sorcerer, my magic power hasn't increased in fifty-five years. I'm interested in carving and planting, but I don't have any bad habits. I don't drink alcohol, chew hallucinogenic grass, or inhale hallucinogenic spores. I don't like mushrooms, and my favorite people are Melinda and Louis from the rival Demon Moon Clan. I didn't harm anyone on the way here. To avoid the guards in Quartz Town, I deliberately took a long detour, passing through the farmland in the south, and arrived here."

He fired out a barrage of words, and 90% of them were useless.

"Um"

Rhodes froze for a moment.

Moreover, the other person's legs were trembling, and his pale face, which even his dark skin could not hide, proved that he was a complete coward.

As the man himself said, he didn't seem to come with any malicious intent.

Yuna transmitted her voice, "The Black Moon Clan, the clan that worships the Demon Duke, are the people in Coral Bay. After becoming a sorcerer, they can directly borrow the Demon Duke's power, thus omitting the spellcasting process. However, the price they pay is that the spells they can use and the amount of magic power they accumulate are all controlled by the Demon Duke."

Spells and magic power accumulation cannot be controlled by oneself.
Isn't that just being a dog?
There may not even be a chance to turn things around.

Dark elves also have a long lifespan, and such long-lived species are generally quite intelligent. Why are you so pig-nosed when it comes to you?

The dark elf Atticus saw that Rhodes still looked confused.

He took the initiative to unbutton his robe and pulled open the collar, revealing a hole that went through his body on the left side of his chest.

The hole is round, with a diameter of about ten centimeters. The internal organs, ribs, spine and bones are clearly visible on the hole wall.

It's like in a modern laboratory, where the side structure is displayed after being solidified and sliced.

"I'm from Coral Bay, one of the dark elves who now blockades Coral Bay. That lord took our hearts, and life and death depend on his will. I'm tired of being controlled by my fate, I'm tired of the endless desecration of life, I want to leave, I want to be free."

He had a sad face, his eyes were filled with grief and anger, as well as a hint of cowardice.

"So? What are you doing here?"

Rhodes patted Amy, who was in a state of fighting spirit, and signaled her to calm down.

Amy probably didn't react in time, baring her teeth and about to go up and chop someone, until she was slapped on the back of the head and her eyes cleared up.

In the distance, an unnatural shadow moved beside Atticus.

Countless ribbons composed of shadows emerged from the ground, then quickly gathered together, binding him tightly.

"Master, he doesn't have any magic power at all and can't cast any spells at all."

Ty Lee said, leaping out of the shadows.

Rhodes nodded and approached slowly.

Atticus excitedly said, "The heroic prophecy of the Great Deer Elder has spread across the continent. And since two Hero Granters have been dispatched here at once from the far western border of the Kingdom of Eselon, there must be future Heroes here! Forest Ranger Mr. Rhodes... No, Lord Rhodes, if anyone is the hero of the Dusk Autumn Forest, it can only be you!"

"I, Atticus, am willing to help you on the basis of my mother's promise until you clear all obstacles on the hero's path! Please, Lord Rhodes, please help me out of this predicament!" He was so sincere that he even burst into tears at the end of his words. It really didn't seem like he was faking it.

And Yuna's lie detector didn't react.

But.

True feelings are true feelings, but as a controlled sorcerer, does he have any choice?

The devil archduke waved his finger, and you still have to do what he says, right?
The promise is a bit ridiculous.

Atticus seemed to see Rhodes's thoughts and quickly explained:

"As the lady who bound me said, I have no magic power in my body. This is a new type of spell I developed. It can reduce the adult's observation and control over me by exhausting my magic power. As for the sequelae of magic power exhaustion, they can be offset by consuming lifespan."

Does it consume lifespan?
Haha, after all, it takes a lot of capital to grow longevity.

Rhodes didn't rush to say that he had been rejected by a [Hero Granter].

Then he asked:
"What's going on in Coral Bay? Why did you summon two dragons?"

"Could you please set up a spell to conceal the prophecy and the astrological destiny? I'm afraid the people in Coral Bay will sense it."

Atticus looked around, fearful.

"Yuna."

"As ordered."

The spider elf walked forward from behind, its purple eyes looking warily at the tied up dark elf.

Atticus saw her only now.

He was visibly stunned for a moment, showing obvious disgust at the spider-like state in front of her, and blurted out: "Rose's lackey?"

Snapped--

Rhodes slapped him.

The other person's entire head shook for a while, and then it became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pay attention to the situation, okay? She's mine now."

Rhodes said coldly.

He reduced his strength and only suffered minor injuries.

Atticus naturally noticed it and looked horrified.

Apologize profusely.

Yuna bit her purple-black lower lip lightly, glancing at Rhodes while casting a spell, her eyes sparkling.

[Yuna's obedience to you +5, current obedience: 76]

soon.

The spell casting is completed, and the spells of astrological concealment and prophecy avoidance are formed.

Atticus thought for a moment and said:

"Since Quartz Town has captured the old tiefling Lucius, they must have known about the bloodline node."

Old Tiefling Lucius was the unlucky guy that Rhodes and his companions encountered when they were hunting down the Plague Mage Amel. Before being captured, he was one of the controllers of Coral Bay.

Currently in prison, he expresses his desire to help the City Hall solve its problems every day, but after all, he is one of the main figures leading the Coral Bay Rebellion, so it is naturally not so easy to trust him.

Seeing Rhodes nodded.

He continued with fear on his face, "That lord intends to use the tiefling's bloodline nodes to cast a special ninth-order purgatory spell. This spell will make all tieflings on the continent his bloodline, and that lord will use this to become the tiefling race god, thus achieving godhood!"
