The spell materials I ordered in Coral Bay couldn’t arrive because the Heavenly Flower Kingdom blocked the shipping lanes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I heard the merchant ship paid a price to pass—but then the Sirens revolted and established a no-go zone on the route, demanding enough sailors be thrown overboard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know if the ship threw sailors, but it finally reached shore—only for the ground golems to start attacking the harbor… Fine, fine, I’m just unlucky. Even as I neared Shiying Town, I got robbed—those mine-dwelling ratmen attacked me directly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The witch sighed, utterly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply fetching materials had turned into such a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the end, it’s still a problem of insufficient manpower and declining royal deterrence.

Though the kingdom now appears open and tolerant toward many races, its past treatment of numerous sentient species was deeply flawed—those seeds of discontent were planted long ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharon, the dog-kin, interjected: “In my view, it’s because Aithelon grew too aggressively in its early days, provoking so much resentment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t from Aithelon—she was born in a small nation called Monte Carlo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Monte Carlo still has territorial disputes with Aithelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dimeia didn’t deny her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she turned to Kalist and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Master Luo De has a method, should we still continue our research?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. The purpose of spell research is to transcend oneself—not to compete for superiority.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as she spoke, Kalist’s gaze toward Luo De still carried unresolved frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De smiled, about to speak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bracelet Xiao Ke sent him vibrated faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sensed something, and hurried up the slope to look out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the swirling yellow sand, a heavy black tide moved slowly, radiating slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the sand tornado’s demonic tide was nearly at the forest’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1127,"2026-06-20T19:55:30.170Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9f8bf6c3ffa9bf03e674e72b9e44c5fefcffa0e7485e57cc97b896d2555c552b","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-111","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-109",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
