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

Chapter 493 Agreement and Sharon's Recent Situation

Demia understood and said, "You intend to use Jin Aron as bait."

"Yes, but even though the black dragon among the five colored dragons may not be as intelligent as the green dragon, it's not stupid. A simple and obvious bait of golden aron won't work. I need the Quartz Town authorities to plan ahead and create the illusion that a transaction has been successful somewhere and a large amount of golden aron has been shipped."

Crocodile man Jeroen paused:
"The terrain of Dusk Hills is too open. The best route for transporting Jin Aron is close to or through the Claw Valley Mountains. We need to suppress the dragon's air advantage as much as possible."

The old gentleman Humbert on the side adjusted his fur hat and looked thoughtful when he heard this.

"There's a town called Telles, over there in the Claw Valley Mountains, next to the Koch Plains. It used to be one of the importers of Quartz Town's minerals."

"Before?" Rhodes asked doubtfully.

"Yes, our transportation route used to go through the Koch Plains, but then the lycanthropy crisis broke out and the Brotherhood of Ruins became rampant in the Dusk Hills. The cost of transportation increased significantly, and we couldn't agree on a price, so we put it on hold. I happen to have some connections with Baron Alvin of Telos, so perhaps I can rekindle this matter."

"That's good. I'll trouble you, Mr. Commissioner Humbert, with this matter."

This meeting was quite serious.

Rhodes gave the old turtle man enough face and called him "Mr. Commissioner".

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Tai Li, who had transformed into a dashing female guard behind him, leaned close to his ear and whispered seriously:

"Master, can I get under the table?"

".What do you want to do?"

"As soon as I came here, I remembered the smell of breakfast under this table last time. The owner was a little quick that time, but the nervous smell was also very nostalgic."

You still have the nerve to say it.

Last time, I was discovered by the witch Demia, and she secretly said a few words to me.

This time it was even worse, as the halfling Lily was sitting next to him.

This is not.

Lily is a master of both magic and spirituality. This time she seems to have heard something.

Looking at him helplessly.

Rhodes smiled awkwardly and pushed Terry's face away.

"No, you stay here."

After a pause, he looked at the crocodile man Jeroen and said, "I will participate in this operation."

"Me too," Lily said.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Jeroen shook his head. "Since Mr. Rhodes can afford this price, our Blizzard Mercenary Group will naturally demonstrate its full strength. With the right strategy and coordination, we can easily defeat a mid-level eighth-level dragon."

The witch Demia suggested:

"In that case, why don't we strike while the iron is hot? Once the mercenary group and the black dragon are engaged in a fight, we will attack Coral Bay at the same time as previously planned."

It was an extremely terrifying scene when two giant dragons with air superiority appeared on the battlefield at the same time.

The divided battlefield here is a good choice.

Rhodes thought it was a good idea and nodded in agreement.

What followed was a discussion of various details such as time, support, equipment, retreat and backup plans.

Rhodes had no experience in this area and did not express any opinions, just listened quietly.

The meeting lasted from noon to evening.

Most of the things have been finalized, and everyone dispersed and began to prepare.

The specific time has not been determined yet, and we have to wait for old gentleman Humbert to contact the town of Taylors.

It happened to be dinner time.

Rhode, Demia, and Lily went to the Land Naga Restaurant on New Rank Street for dinner. This was another new restaurant, and the chef was an ordinary middle-aged human woman.

Compared with the orc lady who is dedicated to recommending orc raw meat to others and the halfling chef disguised as a dwarf, it is indeed relatively normal.

And her cooking skills were learned from the land Nagas in the Death Desert next to the Wind Wall Forest.

This girl was originally a local businessman, buying daily necessities and the like.

Therefore, she often delivered goods to the Naga side on land. I don’t know how she did it, but she actually exchanged them for authentic Naga cuisine.

Rod had seen her several times and was frightened by Penny's zombie every time.

She is a timid but kind aunt.

After a while, all the dishes were served.

Spice-grilled snakes and scorpions, moongrass salad, poison ivy soup, snake scale cookies, and a fruit platter.

Nagas are not averse to eating snakes. Instead, they have a whole set of ways to eat them.

Neither Demia nor Lily were spoiled girls, so they didn't care about the ingredients themselves and just started to eat with relish.

"By the way, Rod, has Sharon contacted you recently?"

Demia asked as he cut off a piece of snake egg pancake and put it in his mouth.

Her face, which already had baby fat, looked even plumper when she was talking and chewing, making her look much cuter than usual.

The witch was a girl who paid more attention to etiquette. She always covered her mouth when talking to Rhode over a meal, and she was embarrassed to do so even now that they were familiar with each other.

"I spoke to her the other day about Coral Bay. She seemed quite busy."

Rhodes said.

Sharon, a dog-man girl, is currently in Faye, in order to explore the deeper mysteries of the plague realm.

This guy joined a local gang, killed more than a dozen people, and then gained a foothold, ending his homeless life.

After Rhodes explained the situation in Coral Bay, she said she didn't care, but in fact she immediately planted emerald tree cuttings and wanted to come back to support her, but she had not yet reached the level of being able to form a [space tree].

"Well"

Demia seemed to want to say something.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke again:
"Well Sharon told me not to tell you, but I think you need to know."

"what's up?"

"There was a high-ranking mage in Faye who took a fancy to Sharon and wanted to take her in as a student. Sharon refused, so the mage sent someone to beat her up."

"."

Demia looked up.

He noticed that Rhodes's face had darkened.

She had seen this expression before; it was the look the man would make when he wanted to kill someone.

I quickly added, "Sharon always said it was okay, no problem. I thought she had already told you, but from the look of you, you didn't know."

"Well, thank you, Demia. Once the teleportation device over there stabilizes, I will go there myself."

Jade tree cuttings have strong vitality.

Sharon is a mage, so she probably won't survive for a few days.

Rhodes nodded, adjusted his attitude, and gave the witch a comforting smile.

The halfling Lily on the side also became indignant:

"Can you force students into buying things? I hate this kind of behavior, Rhodes! Your friends are my friends! Remember to bring me along when you go, so we can beat that guy up together!"

Demia was a little worried and said seriously, "If possible, I'd like to go and see it too. Sharon was always slovenly at school. I have to go and see how she lives."
