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

Chapter 68 Dragon Soul
Open-air maze.

The camping site for the Bahadur School of Magic study tour group.

Rita leaned against a tree, fiddling with her long dark red hair out of boredom.

Beside the tent, students sat together playing card games.

Laughter broke out from time to time.

"Where's Teacher Milinda?"

A handsome dark-haired boy walked up to her.

In Aiseron, such black hair is not common, and is often considered a symbol of charm and mystery.

This little boy has deep pupils and a handsome and cold face, and he is definitely the popular type.

"We're clearing out the monsters around here. Rune, haven't we reached the place you mentioned yet?"

The two spoke in low voices.

There seemed to be a barrier between him and the rest of the students.

The black-haired boy named Rune shook his head.

"I thought it would be in Longkeng Lake, but unexpectedly it's not the case. Perhaps this is related to the abnormal proliferation of Saban's corpse back then."

"Abnormal growth of flesh? What's the connection?"

Rune turned around and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

The tone of their conversation didn't sound like that of a teacher and student at all.

"The connection between a dragon's soul and body is far more complex than current research suggests. Previous studies have believed that the red dragon Saban's soul died the moment he fell, leaving only his body alive."

talking.

A lovely and pretty female classmate in the distance was smiling and waving at him.

Rune returned the smile and waved.

At the same time, he kept talking.

"But in reality, a spiritual being isn't just made up of a soul and a body. It also has a 'spirit,' and what died in Saban was his spirit. That's why his body is multiplying abnormally and uncontrollably."

Rita looked at the thirteen-year-old boy in shock.

Why would such knowledge, which even she didn't know, come out from the mouth of a boy like this?

"Are you shocked? Actually, this is basic knowledge that any arcane mage would know."

"But how could you, a commoner, know these things?"

"I told you, Rita, I have a very knowledgeable teacher."

Rune touched an antique ring in his hand.

"You have to call me teacher in front of others."

Rita said dissatisfiedly.

As the only daughter of a viscount, she was actually not happy about being controlled by a little boy.

But due to the other party's great potential and the gradual decline of her family, she had to seize her own future.

"Really? I really hope you can act like a teacher in bed."

"You! Stop talking nonsense!"

A trace of shame crept onto Rita's cheeks. She quickly looked around and didn't relax until she found that there was no one around.

But seeing that the boy in front of him didn't care at all, a feeling of resentment welled up in his heart.

In fact, she had long realized that she was hopelessly in love with Rune.

"Let's get back to business. Since the body and soul haven't died yet, as the body grows, the space for the dragon soul to move around also expands."

"Are you saying that in order to obtain the hidden dragon soul, we must search all the places where the dragon corpse's flesh proliferated? That's a problem. The literature says it spread over more than ten kilometers."

After hearing this, Rune couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the only solution. If we had a maze pass, we wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

"It's just a pass. Teacher Melinda and I both have one."

"It's not this basic one, but a high-level pass. I have a secret method that can obtain the location of the dragon soul by sacrificing the holder of a high-level pass."

"High-level access? Teacher Milinda is back."

Rita panicked.

He quickly distanced himself from Rune, as if to cover up his mistake.

Rune shook his head helplessly and walked into the tent alone.

"Well, Rune, this woman has obeyed you in every way, right?"

Suddenly, the ring in his hand emitted a female voice that only he could hear, hoarse and old.

"Yes, teacher, I can already sense Rita's feelings for me."

"I told you, Ego's spiritual creations are more powerful than you can imagine. Fortunately, I studied them when I reached the eighth level."

"Unfortunately, we still haven't found the dragon soul."

Rune sighed.

If he could obtain the dragon soul, his strength would increase significantly.

The day of his revenge is getting closer.

"Run, you are still young. There is no need to be so anxious. The King of Eselon can't run away, and he won't die easily either. You still have a lot of time."

"No, Sensei, the thought of that bastard still sitting on the throne is tormenting me every moment."

The voice inside the ring also sighed.

"We don't have to search blindly here. I'll try to make a sensor pass thing tonight. We can try our luck in Jade City. There are more adventurers there and they are more likely to get high-level passes."

"Listen to the teacher."

Two days later.

Rhodes and his group successfully left the current forest area.

We arrived at a hilly area filled with pink flower fields.

The temperature here has dropped a lot and is finally within the normal range.

According to Charlie, seeing this flower field proves that the open-air maze has reached the final stage.

"Don't let your guard down. Rule One will happen all the time in this hilly area. Be sure to prepare items or potions for immunity."

talking.

Charlie poured himself a shot of spirit potion.

"I don't feel anything."

"Except you, Mr. Rhodes."

Terry was too lazy to deal with the rules and simply hid in Rhodes' shadow.

Perhaps it was because she realized her master's active tribute in the past few days that her image as a younger sister has never changed.

In this flower field area.

Rhodes soon saw the team other than theirs.

The adventurers were in groups of three or four, holding weapons, and seemed to be searching for something in the flower fields.

"They are hunting a kind of wild boar monster."

Charlie explained, "There's a wild boar monster in this area with flowers on its head. Sometimes mushrooms grow from these flowers, which are the ingredients for very expensive anesthetic potions. They're also the ingredients for the pleasure potions that you city dwellers love the most."

Joy Potion
Rod remembered it as an addictive stimulant drug.

A year ago, businessman Pete brought a bottle to the town of Quartz, and it was purchased by a city hall employee.

Then, on the day of his birthday party, he mixed the potion into drinks, which directly led to the appearance of twenty naked runners on the street that night.

Moreover, a pregnant woman was frightened into giving birth prematurely, and gave birth to a dark-skinned baby of a different race.

She and her husband later sued the employee, alleging that the shock had caused genetic mutations in the baby.

Although I don’t know what will happen next.

But it is true that Quartz Town has since banned the import of this potion.

"This is the closest gathering place to Jade City. Many adventurers like to make a little money here."

"Is this thing very popular in Jade City?"

Rhodes was puzzled.

This was very different from his impression of the Jade City.

As the closest human city to the Green Garden, he always thought it was a rich and clean city.

"It's more popular than you think, Mr. Rhodes. Some nobles even dilute it and drink it as water."
