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

Chapter 585: Shadow Hunting Wind
The night before.

Stormwind City.

The streets were deserted, the night wind was bleak, and from time to time the sound of metal friction between the soldiers' armor could be heard.

The stone slabs, which had not been repaired for a long time, were filled with cracks due to rain in the humid weather, and they were broken by heavy footsteps.

Water splashes.

It just flew over the stone skylight and splashed into a semi-basement.

The basement's debris was neatly piled in a corner, leaving a shabby long table in the middle.

The candlelight in the basement was dim.

About ten people were either sitting or standing against the wall.

Warriors in armor, mages in robes with exquisite silver patterns, and light and agile ranger scouts.

At first glance, you can tell that it is a team with complete functions and rich means.

"It's so dirty, damn!"

A dark-skinned, hairy dwarf slammed his fist on the long table, his face full of displeasure.

"Keep your voice down. Do you think it's easy for Rosalia to find a place for us to talk?"

A human lady who was leaning against the wall nearby and playing with a knife said this without even looking up.

After saying this, she looked at the lady sitting quietly at the side of the long table.

A pair of long ears that look like elves' long ears but are actually insect's thin wings are extremely eye-catching.

She has a straight back, elegant temperament, pretty face and graceful figure.

It was none other than the Tooth Fairy, Rosalia.

Rosalia was dazed for a moment, then smiled and said, "Before joining Shadow Hunter, I worked in Windy City. I'm quite familiar with this place, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Did you hear that? Rosalia said it's not a problem!" the fierce dwarf warrior said again.

"Rosalia is being polite. Just behave yourself! If those Ego cult guys catch you again, don't expect to get away with it as easily as last time!"

A human wizard who had just cast a soundproofing spell heaved a sigh of relief and decisively started cursing at the dwarf.

"*/*//* (dwarven swear word)."

"You dare say that again?!"

“I didn’t say that.”

Faced with the dwarf's decisive surrender, the wizard snorted and ignored him.

"All right."

A black-haired woman sitting at the end of the long table spoke.

The voice was dignified, serious and calm.

You can tell from the moment you hear it that he has a calm and composed personality.

Facing the words of the leader of the Shadow Hunter, the fragmented voices immediately stopped.
The leader first looked at Rosaria and said, "I'm sorry, Rosaria, this happened just after you joined the group. I didn't expect the Kingdom to temporarily merge the Shadow Hunters into the Ego Cult's conscription group."

"I understand, Captain."

Rosalia still maintains a simple and elegant appearance.

She joined the Shadow Hunters to investigate the case of the goblin massacre.

But that was fifty years ago.

After the rehabilitation and accountability, not only was Shadow Hunter reconstructed, but even the information of its former core members was sealed.

I was worried about where to start the investigation.

Unexpectedly, an order came down from above, and they were suddenly asked to merge into the passing Ego Recruiting Corps.

So much so that she went back to revisit the old place and even went to Quartz Town.

"Ah."

The leader looked at everyone in the basement.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all know what the Ego Cult is. I also know that you find it shameful to work with them. But, regardless of what the Ego Cult is like, Lord Marco has another mission for us."

When she spoke, she emphasized the title of "Master Marco".

"Master Marco's mission?"

"Since it is the order of His Excellency the Lord Chancellor, you may obey it."

Chief Justice Marco obviously has a high prestige in the eyes of everyone in Shadow Hunter.

I immediately perked up when I heard his name.

But some people expressed concerns:

"The King and the Parliament have great distrust in the Lord Chancellor. Power is dispersed between the Royal Secretary and the Church. Lord Marco's current situation is not good."

The leader of Shadow Hunter nodded.

"Because of this, we must complete this mission well.
Regarding this mission, the Lord Justice has learned that the Ego Cult will come to Dusk Hill to engage with an unknown force, which seems to be related to a conspiracy of the Ego Cult. We must find this force and secretly destroy it."

"Understood!!" x13
Once finished.

The human mage immediately waved his hands in panic: "Keep your voice down!"

Everyone was slightly embarrassed.

There was silence for a moment.

"Speaking of the forces of Dusk Hills"

The dark-skinned dwarf warrior stroked his beard and began to ponder, "Could it be Rhodes, the ranger of Windwall Forest? He's been mentioned the most in the newspapers lately."

"Not likely. He used the power of the seventh rank to repel the Duke of Purgatory and even killed two giant dragons. Uh, doesn't this record seem a bit fake?"

"I've seen it too. The newspapers say he was in cahoots with Asmodeus, and the people who died in Coral Bay were actually sacrificed by him to the Grand Duke of Purgatory."

"You know, it's normal for a bard's newspaper to exaggerate."

"Of course not. Public opinion isn't about truth, it's about whether the public likes it. A seventh-rank warrior's conspiracy to counterattack the Demon Duke—tell me if that's cool."

"I don't know if it's cool or not. I just know this newspaper is full of fake news. A while ago, I saw that Lyra Starwhisper's Transcontinental Concert was going to be held in Dusk Hills, but what happened? Nothing."

"Who is Lyra Starwhisper?"

"You don't even recognize this person? She's a big star! A cloud elf, and she sings beautifully!"

"I have Lyra Starwhisper's Waterdeep concert recording stone. I'd like to rent it for five gold arons a day. Anyone need it?"

"Five?! Why don't you just go and rob? Is a lousy singer worth that much?!"

"What do you mean by a stinking singer? We, Leila, are bards who sing of love and peace! Our concerts are all about calling for an end to the war!"

"Keep your voice down! You guys!"

The topic was getting more and more off track.

The black-haired female leader, who was used to the noisy group members, couldn't help but pinch her brows in distress.

She looked again at the new tooth fairy.

"Rosalia, you've been in Quartz Town for a while. What kind of person is Rhodes?"

Rosalia pondered for a moment.

Use the index and middle fingers wrapped in insect exoskeleton to push the hair behind the ear.

"She is lustful, very lustful, very concerned about her reputation, and her methods are unconventional. She is also very lustful."

Everyone was silent.

The dwarf warrior scratched his ear and realized, "She said 'lustful' three times."

The lady leaning against the wall playing with throwing knives glanced at Rosalia's curvy and hot body.

With a sigh, it was not difficult to imagine that she had suffered at the hands of Rhodes.

"Don't worry, little Rosa. When we get to Quartz Town, I'll definitely beat up that Rhodes for you."

Another said:
"Since this person's personality is so 'unique', the chances of him being seduced are very high."

Rosalia first smiled at her fellow knife thrower.

Then he said decisively:
"It's true that Rhodes is lustful, but he would never collude with the Grand Duke of Purgatory, nor would he defect to the Ego Cult. His will and strength are unprecedented, absolutely beyond anyone's imagination. If we were to choose someone we could rely on or trust in Dusk Hills, it would have to be him."
