It seems they no longer wish to tolerate the chaos in Coral Bay and may even attempt to reclaim it before the Ager family returns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ameil dismissed it: “I told you—Windstorm City is in utter internal chaos; they have no energy to spare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if they can’t act now, the Ager family will eventually notice the unrest behind them. Once they return, they will still march on Coral Bay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ameil: “What of the Ager family? Frankly, I’d welcome their return to Windstorm City to test it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiusi gave him a long, piercing look: “I know you had a hand in Windstorm City’s unrest—otherwise, the conflict wouldn’t have erupted the moment the Ager family left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, I was merely a negligible factor. The deeper forces lie elsewhere. Heh, are you afraid? I thought only demon-blooded creatures feared the Agers—so tieflings are the same? Besides, haven’t you already transformed one of them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Ameil had no intention of elaborating; he immediately changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was not done by my master. Before this, I didn’t even know Fried Ager had been transformed—perhaps even earlier than when I entered the prince’s embrace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Lu Xiusi shook his head: “You’re young—you’ve never seen how the Agers fight on the battlefield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the test tube in Ameil’s hand suddenly fell still, its contents turning lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared in shock, casting several identification spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving failed results, he slammed the table in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he began muttering curses as he recorded the experiment’s outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the experiment’s failure, his temper grew foul and erratic: “Enough talk! You didn’t come here just to tell me this, did you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiusi paused, his entire demeanor sinking into exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to extend the duration of control over the golems. They’ve… lately become increasingly uncontrollable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ameil sneered: “Still haven’t found your so-called bloodline nodes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiusi said bitterly: “Bloodline nodes are inherently obscured by fate—even the highest-tier divination spells cannot locate them. It’s not easy. My master, the prince, was already fortunate to pinpoint the key in Aetheron’s Coral Bay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same as before—you prepare the ritual materials. And add a Hellfire spell this time. I need the [Blood Vessel Curse].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiusi didn’t hesitate—he immediately pulled a spellbook from his magical satchel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ameil, the ritual materials… really can’t be substituted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you—the golems aren’t simple magical creatures. They are ‘unfinished humans,’ naturally harboring resentment toward ‘complete’ humans. To control them long-term and in large numbers, you must use vast quantities of human flesh. Heh, sounds like sacrifice, doesn’t it? But it isn’t—it’s retaliation, a way to awaken bloodline consciousness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never heard of such a ritual. Where did you even get this from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished writing the final note of the experiment’s results,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ameil snapped his notebook shut with a snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t I say? I’m a dropout of Bahadur Magic Academy—where most of the continent’s forbidden knowledge is stored.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he looked up toward the eastern wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tree spirits, elves, zombies, ghouls, half-wolves, and humans… Heh, you think you can fool my eyes? Oh? The tree spirit and half-wolf are both seventh tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiusi frowned: “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone’s come to assassinate me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old tiefling’s expression darkened: “I’ll help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re old, your magic pathways are withered. Even if you forcibly ascended to seventh tier, how much power can you truly wield? Heh… a human man paired with a non-human girl? Only the forest warden of Shiying Town fits that description—he once drove off two genuine seventh-tier foes with just the two of them, both badly wounded. You’d better flee.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And what about you? Controlling Coral Bay still requires your strength—and I need you to control the golems!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you have a group of dark elves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those insubordinate fools? Unreliable. Even when serving the same prince, they’re always scheming to seize power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ameil laughed bitterly: “Lu Xiusi, Lu Xiusi—aren’t you just as power-hungry as they are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...I serve the prince.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk. I’m not planning to fight them—I’m running.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of Bahadur Magic Academy’s key survival rules: learn to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even dropouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiusi was speechless—why tell me all this if you’re just going to run?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if reading his thoughts, Ameil gathered a pile of equipment and smiled: “Let me teach you a good escape trick—I learned it from a dragon hunter: when fleeing, you don’t need to outrun the dragon. You just need to outrun the other dragon hunters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic flared beneath his feet, rapidly forming a spell array—he vanished instantly with a [Spatial Shift].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, magical runes appeared across the walls of the entire research chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he had constructed them during their brief conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiusi gasped in horror: “[Flight Ban Zone]?! Ameil, you bastard!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pthuuu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A furious, colossal spiritual greatsword flashed overhead, instantly shearing off the entire summit of the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five dark figures emerged against the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tree spirit, elf, zombie, half-wolf, ghoul, and human—just as Ameil had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree spirit and half-wolf druid radiated especially potent auras—seventh-tier mid and seventh-tier early respectively. Far beyond the reach of a tiefling mage who’d forcibly ascended to seventh-tier early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tiefling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lone human among them was a tall, handsome man, his spiritual energy at sixth-tier mid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who could wield that sword without being something more than an ordinary sixth-tier?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful elf scowled: “Human, you must learn to conceal your aura. There was a clear detection spell fluctuation just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, sorry—Tally sneaked… uh, anyway, she distracted me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-wolf druid used [Wild Shape], transforming into a massive owlbear, growling threateningly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1087,"2026-06-20T19:55:30.170Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5a4210e7cb6cb63d43c9db2f0a608024222298cae4fb9baedebab572a6ba6c09","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-193","i-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-chapter-191",704,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-a-forest-warden-why-am-i-enslaving-a-succubu-cover.jpg"]
