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

Chapter 604: Labyrinth and Rosalia

The collapsed lakeside.

The girls including Sharon the dogman, Vivian the tree spirit, Demia the witch, Penny the ghoul, Amy the orc, Chris the banshee and others gathered in a circle.

The smoke and dust rolled upwards, and then were quickly covered by the continuous rain in the sky, without causing much of a scene.

That is, the ground collapsed and broke into dozens of pieces, and the lake water also drained away through the cracks in the laminates with the naked eye.

Waiting for the vibrations from the explosion to stop.

Sharon crossed her arms with an unhappy look on her face, looking down at the scene.

Beside her was a ghoul wizard kneeling on the ground and crying. Penny was crying and wailing, not caring that her white robe was soaked by the rain.

The moisture made the clothes stick to her body, showing off her charming figure, slender waist and pale skin.

Very beautiful.

Chris patted her on the shoulder and suggested that she threaten Rhodes with money, threatening to commit suicide if he didn't give her money.

Penny was stunned for a moment. Although she looked cute and naive, she chose not to pay attention to her.

"what happened?"

Demia could see that her best friend was in a bad mood.

"Humph."

"What are you humming?"

"He went down without taking me, which means he doesn't trust me." Gou Zi said coldly, looking extremely unhappy.

Demia smiled wryly and coaxed, "But Rhodes has entrusted the outside world to you. Doesn't that prove that he has also entrusted his escape route to you? A man has entrusted his entire backstory to you. It goes without saying how important you are, right?"

Sharon was stunned for a moment, snorted again, and then her tail began to wag.

At this time.

The tree spirit Vivian, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly tilted her head.

A hint of doubt appeared in those pure eyes that shone with white light without any emotion.

"Rod, he's gone."

Amy, the female orc, who had been looking up at the sky and opening her mouth to drink rainwater, looked down at the ground and said, "Wow! The ground has collapsed!"

Demia ignored the female orc who realized it later. After hearing Vivian's words, her face changed slightly, and she quickly released magic power to sense the area below covered by mud and stones.

"No one. How could it be Sharon."

Sharon quickly became serious and cast a spell briefly and quickly.

Purple gravity magic rose from the sunken pit into the sky, and the reversed gravity of the spell [Anti-Gravity] also pushed the soil and rocks into the sky.

There is an interesting point here.

Sharon, a dog-man, has self-running etheric energy in her body, but the goddess's ban turns a blind eye to her, and she herself doesn't know why.

Not a moment longer.

The broken dome, broken load-bearing columns, and shattered beams that were obviously constructed by civil engineers were pushed back into the sky one after another.

But even so.

No matter how hard they searched, there was no sign of any living creature.

Somewhere in the woods on a meadow.

A pile of earth, rocks and man-made mud blocks collapsed on a hill.

Blue and white mist suddenly seeped out from the cracks in the four or five meter high collapsed material.

Roar! ! !
A sturdy bronze dragon fighting spirit as majestic as a mountain suddenly expanded and emerged from the inside, causing the randomly piled collapsed objects to explode.

Various fragments exploded outward, some crushed large areas of grass, some crashed into the woods, and some flew directly into the bright sky.

Rhodes fanned the dust in front of him with his hand and slowly walked out from the center of the ruins blown up by the bronze dragon war spirit.

"The power of [Dead Nova] is even stronger than I imagined."

A ray of sunlight, which clearly shouldn't exist underground, shone on his face.

"Well?"

Rhodes looked at the grassland and woods in front of him in amazement.

In the distance, on the hillside, you can see farms with cattle, horses and sheep, and a prosperous manor covering a large area with exterior walls dominated by white and supplemented by gold.

【Feel the influence of the 'Unknown Labyrinth'! 】

[No pass detected! ]

【warn!warn! 】

[About to be affected by the 'Unknown Maze': Spiritual accumulation decreased, strength slightly decreased, physical fitness slightly decreased, self-paralysis, increased sexual desire.] [.'Alternate Space Tendency' immunity to the maze's influence has been successfully obtained.]

The psychic fighting spirit of the fungus-corrupted warrior Gorgon flashed behind him.

Rhodes raised his eyebrows:
"It's a maze. No wonder we can't find Campbell's hideout no matter how hard we look."

【Lily: Rod Rod, where are you? 】

In the Chain of Far Words, news came from the halfling Lily.

Not only that, there is also news about Sharon and others who are waiting up there.

Rhodes first comforted the people outside, and then began to reply to Lily.

【Rod: This is a maze.】

Lily: Yes, and the maze's effect is strange. I can see the white-walled manor about a hundred meters away. What about you?

Rod: I can see it, but it's much farther away than you. I'll gather there. Is the maze's influence okay? Where's Terry?

[Lily: I've already got the pass, no problem. It seems the maze also comes with a pass, Ms. Terry.]

At this time, Tai Li's voice came from the Chain of Far Words.

[Terry: Master~~Master~~I'm hot, the maze is affecting me. Come find me~~Supermarket~~]

The succubus began to yell in a mock manner.

Rhodes simply ignored it.

but
Lily is really outrageous. She got a pass as soon as she came in.

And it's buy one get one free
I heard that the labyrinth consciousness would specially favor some lucky people who were obviously favored by heaven and earth, and Lily was obviously one of them.

As for why you didn’t choose me?

I don’t know, he looks down on me.

Rhodes curled his lips and snorted coldly.

A breeze blew by, carrying with it the spicy aroma of dragon tooth flowers.

[Spider Sense] was triggered.

He turned to look.

A soldier from the conscription regiment walked out from the woods beside him, and the phantom on his face gradually peeled off, revealing a familiar, elegant and beautiful face.

Her thick long black hair fell over her shoulders as she took off her helmet, with the ends slightly curled inwards.

Insect-like exoskeleton fingers and long, thin wing-like ears.

The Tooth Fairy gave a bitter smile.

"Mr. Rhodes, long time no see."

"Rosalia, you are beautiful again."

Rhodes had completely forgotten the fact that the other party had given him the nice guy card before, and he spoke in a slick tone.

"You changed your hairstyle? It looks good."

Miss Tooth Fairy used to have long purple wavy hair with amazing volume and waist-length, which gave her a charming and elegant temperament.

Now it is just as tall as my shoulders, and besides having the same elegant demeanor as before, it is even more capable.

"Thank you. I often hear from you, Mr. Rhodes."

"Hahaha, really? It's all just the bard's flattery."

Rosalia wasn't in the mood to joke around like Rhodes, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

She became serious, her pale face concealing a raging rage. "Mr. Rhodes, I remember you always accepted commissions for the right price, didn't you? Are you still accepting them now?"

Rhode was also stunned when he saw the expression on her face, and spread his hands:
"Of course I accepted it. Being the financial backer of Coral Bay is not an easy task. The current expenses are unimaginably high."

"Then what's the price of a ninth-rank mage's life? I'll work like a slave to get it for you."

Pat pat pat——

Pat pat pat——

The sound of hurried footsteps came from a distance.

Rhodes looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of Campbell's private soldiers led by a gray dwarf rushing from the prosperous manor.

He drew out his [Sacrificial Sword] and smiled at Rosalia who was frantically contributing [Rage] points.

"Let's talk while we walk."
