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

Chapter 73 Factory and Pursuit

Jade City.

Empty streets.

No. 32, Dabu Street, South District.

The alchemical lamp facing the road emitted a faint blue light, which went out from time to time.

Attracted a large number of moths.

Moreover, it looked as if no one had maintained it for a long time, and the corner that was fixed to the ground had become loose.

Bang! ! !
A huge explosion suddenly sounded.

The violent vibration directly blew away the already unstable alchemical lamp, causing it to fall heavily to the ground and shatter into pieces.

In the reflection of the broken glass, you can see thick purple smoke rising into the air.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang.

Rhodes and Lily jumped between the rooms and quickly fled out.

"Are all of you in the Chivalrous Alliance like this? You blow up someone's factory over a disagreement. Aren't we here to investigate?"

Rhodes said helplessly.

After the three of them sneaked into the factory, they discovered that they were producing counterfeit products.

They even mixed wall dust and a kind of alchemical waste called Hua Liuli into it just to improve the taste and reduce costs. This can be fatal.

In a rage, Lily directly detonated their alchemical equipment.

"This is the first lesson the Heroes Alliance is teaching you, Rhodes. There's no point in politely handing over the evidence to the Public Security Bureau. Factories like these have backers, and wealthy nobles can still pull them out."

Lily saw that her speed was gradually falling behind Rhodes.

He frowned slightly, secretly gave himself a speed-enhancing buff, and then steadily became half a body length faster than the opponent.

"Then give it to the newspaper?"

"It's useless. Plain and simple evidence means nothing to journalists."

After a pause, she continued:
"What's important is public grievances. We want to make things bigger, and then wait for things to ferment until they affect the tourism industry, which they are so proud of. Finally, we will hand over the truth to calm things down."

"So you deliberately created the purple smoke."

"It's not poisonous, it's just some little thing made from wisteria flower juice, but we will spread the word that it's harmful. You know, people are easily influenced by public opinion."

Rhodes was helpless.

"You are so bold."

Lily smiled arrogantly, pointed at the mask on her face which only covered the upper half, and said:
"So we need this. But it's not as pretty as yours."

Rhodes had a mask made of purple scales on his face, which looked like a lion with a resentful expression.

Baring his teeth and glaring at others, he looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

This is because he used part of the power of [Sighs and Grudges] to grab the mask.

In order to conceal his size, Lily used a shaping spell on him, turning him into a short man of only about 1.6 meters.

"It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that I'm the only one who can use it."

While talking.

The streets were filled with sheriffs and firefighters.

The two drank another bottle of invisibility potion and quickly fled the area.

Rhodes' sight was occasionally drawn to the three spires that still shone brightly in the dark night.

He knew it was just three wizard spires.

This means that there are three domain mages above level seven in Emerald City.

"But, won't the three domain mages take care of it?"

"Them? They're not here. The battle line at the Heavenly Flower Kingdom is tight, and they were pulled over to help. But even if they were here, it wouldn't matter. The military and government of Eseron are separate, so they won't care."

"The Domain Mage is not within the range of the Mage Spire."

"Who knows, maybe they have a way to keep the magic."

The two of them sped up and soon moved from the south district of the city to the north district.

From a distance, you can see purple smoke rising and a busy crowd nearby.

"how?"

Lily put her hands on her hips and smiled arrogantly.

"After seeing what our Chivalrous Alliance does, do you feel a sense of relief?"

Rhodes smiled and said nothing.

It was also a chance to see something new, and my curiosity was satisfied a lot.

"The night is long, why don't we continue? Take the yellow-haired elf from the daytime for example. That guy specializes in seducing human women over fifty years old and has destroyed several families. Should we go and castrate him?"

".You can also hand him over to the proper elves of the Green Court."

"Yes! In the Jade Garden, his crime is very serious. He might even be exiled. Oh wow, look at that."

As she spoke, Lily suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Confused, Rhode followed her gaze.

Suddenly, a banshee was seen moving quickly on the factory street next to it.

"Banshees are not welcome in Emerald City. This is the first time I've seen them in the city."

Behind the Banshee, there was a man and a woman chasing her.

What surprised Rhodes was that he actually knew these two people.

They were the dark red-haired teacher and black-haired student in the magic academy study tour group.

"Oh—it looks like she's being hunted."

"Those are the students and teachers of the Bahadur School of Magic. I met them in the open-air maze."

"Bahadur? Humph."

Lily's face was slightly stunned, and then she curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

She had applied to this college before, and her scores in both practical and theoretical subjects were far higher than those of the same peers, making her a firm first. However, she was unexpectedly rejected.

Later, when I heard that they discriminated against non-human races, I lost my good impression of them even more.

"I'm going to help her."

Lily decided immediately.

"Help whom?"

"The Banshee, of course."

After that, Lily took out her wand and weapons, a staff in her left hand and a magic dagger in her right.

hum-

A magic circle appeared under the feet of the halfling.

The next moment, she appeared on the street below.

"Space teleportation. The magic is very skillful and used very cleanly. Lily is quite capable."

After all, those who are willing to travel thousands of miles to Emerald City to upgrade are not mediocre.

That end.

Rita suddenly felt a fluctuation of magical power coming from behind her.

He quickly pulled Rune over.

bang——

The magic missiles hit the ground, and the gravel splashed onto their black robes, making a popping sound.

"who?!"

Rita snapped.

Then, footsteps gradually came out.

A masked halfling emerged from the darkness.

She sneered and said, "I hate people from Bahadur Magic Academy."

"Level 5 peak? Who gave you the courage?"

Rita's dark red hair fluttered as she raised her hand and threw out an ice cone.

Ping——

The ice cone shattered into Lily's spell shield, causing it to tremble slightly.

"You have some skills. Rune, go chase that thing first, don't be stingy with the ring."

Lu En glanced at Lily coldly and said to the teacher, "Be careful and make a quick decision."

"Who do you think I am?"

Rita couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she heard his caring words, but she still spoke stubbornly.

Just as he finished speaking, a magic missile hit him.

Rune flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Rita and Lily officially began a fierce magical attack and defense on the deserted street.

Rhodes just took a quick look and left.

Lily's level was even higher than he thought. Even if she couldn't defeat the opponent, she could still leave easily.

"Where."

Terry poked her head out from the shadows and pointed Rod in the direction of Rune.

"Old plan, you hide first."

"A rookie at the beginning of the fourth stage, is it necessary?"

"There's something wrong with this little guy. The [Gift of Trees] tells me that he has a 'withered' aura about him."
