Chapter 544: Name and Obligation

Rod strolled around the Coral Bay.

Then he came to the shore of the Montes Sea Area to leisurely enjoy the sea breeze and zone out.

Tally was a little maid in a long dress today.

She was now holding up her skirt, barefoot, splashing in the water at the shore.

She seemed to quite like the seaside.

Last time at Axe Beach, she had clamored to go swimming, but there turned out to be more matters than expected, so she didn't get to swim.

This time, she had taken down the Coral Bay.

Rod planned to find a suitable spot nearby to build a beach tourist zone.

In summer, he would take the girls, put on swimsuits, and play for a few days.

If possible.

Setting up the whole tent and having a swimsuit ecstasy party inside wouldn't be out of the question.

Sunlight, fine sand, sweat, and seawater.

Sticky yet white and tender girls; just thinking of this scene made Rod feel a bit happy.

"Ah, Rod, you're here."

A calling voice came from behind.

Turning back, he saw the witch Dimia in a black-purple long dress and high-collared cotton coat, jogging over.

The long dress was high-waisted, reaching below the ribs.

It faintly lifted the soft heaviness of her chest; as she jogged, the golden big braid on her back swayed, very eye-catching.

On her upright, delicate nose bridge, she wore a pair of very plain round-framed glasses, giving her a much more scholarly air.

"Good evening, Dimia, is your injury healed?"

Rod greeted with a smile.

The sea breeze blew.

The witch's skin, warm and jade-like, showed a hint of pink.

Just her soft panting was accompanied by a young girl's fresh scent.

Dimia pressed her heaving chest, caught her breath, and then said:

"My injury isn't as severe as yours, Rod; I healed long ago. Look, this."

She excitedly handed over two documents.

Written on them in large characters were the words 'Emergency Wartime Law'.

Rod opened them and found this was a notice from the superior city of Wind City, appointing the Shi Ying Town City Hall as the temporary administrator of Coral Bay.

Oh.

He had thought he would need some gray tactics to bring Coral Bay into his possession.

He didn't expect Wind City to be so straightforward.

As for 'temporary'.

After all, this area is all Argyle family territory; the current administrators in Wind City are also temporary.

They wouldn't dare to mess around with the actual handover.

Dimia smiled and said:

"Humbert submitted our merits and contributions to Wind City immediately five days ago, and handed over the will of the original administrator of Coral Bay, which stated that before his death he entrusted Coral Bay to Shi Ying Town."

Rod had already discussed this with Humbert and Dimia.

If they had directly demanded Wind City appoint Rod as the lord, these people would probably have feared Rod's terrifying military strength.

They might even have suspected Rod had Fang De Xiang Fa to dominate the region, thus hesitating to issue the appointment.

Having Shi Ying Town step forward would be much more moderate.

Perhaps precisely because of this, it went so smoothly.

"Original administrator? A will? There's such a thing?"

"It's forged; I wrote it."

Rod couldn't help but laugh.

Sliding down from the rock, he tried to stand up and stretch.

Dimia hurried over to support him.

After all, at that time this forest ranger's injuries were very severe, his whole body covered with blood holes piercing through.

In just five days, it probably wasn't time for full recovery yet.

"Wind City has likely been secretly monitoring the situation in Coral Bay; they know that in this battle the vast majority of combat power was yours, and that you alone slew two giant dragons and repelled the Duke of Purgatory; how would they dare to disagree?

In their reply, they also planned to personally bring people to visit you in a few days."

Rod didn't mind the Young Lady witch's support; on the contrary, he quite enjoyed it.

Given the scale of her chest, her support was exactly like Tally's; both loved to press against with their chests.

As for the other document.

It was a contract inviting Rod for the joint development and military coordination of Coral Bay by Shi Ying Town.

Basically no different from selling the land.

Ninety percent of Coral Bay would be controlled and developed by Rod personally, while the remaining ten percent was perfunctorily given to the Shi Ying Town City Hall side.

Military coordination meant Shi Ying Town soldiers and Rod's people were mixed together to jointly garrison Coral Bay.

Mainly to reduce the negative image of Rod being seen as a 'warlord' dominating alone.

As for why it had to be made so troublesome.

To be honest.

Rod had no intention of getting involved in the struggle for dominance over the world.

Life in the forest still belonged to his comfort zone.

Jumping out of the comfort zone was one thing, but expanding it was acceptable.

This was also the reason he intended to open up the Wind Wall Forest.

Besides.

Although the Aethelorn Kingdom showed signs of decline in its war against the Heavenly Court Flower Kingdom, it was ultimately an old superpower on the continent.

Even with so many deaths, dragging out seven or eight eighth-rank Legendary Mages would probably still be simple.

If Rod truly dared to build a nation in their backyard.

A wave of Legendary spells to wash the ground away, and he wouldn't even know where to cry injustice.

Look, although the Aethelorn Kingdom was in chaos, there truly weren't many who dared to claim they would build their own nation.

Rod, supported by Dimia, came to the beach.

Tally, who was playing in the water, spotted him at once; she chuckled, then secretly splashed seawater all over Dimia from behind.

"Ah!"

"Hahaha—Master, look quickly, her clothes are soaked through, revealing her sexy black underwear!"

"."

Rod couldn't hold back and instinctively looked down.

Sure enough, he found the light-colored top soaked through by the seawater, vaguely revealing squeezed and swaying flesh-colored lumps and the lace pattern of a black bra.

"Rod!"

Dimia's baby-faced cheeks turned completely red.

One hand protected her chest, while the other slapped his face away.

"."I acted on instinct, sorry... actually, I didn't see clearly."

The Young Lady Witch glared at him resentfully and began to clean herself with magic.

"Rod, now that you have Sharon, you shouldn't go flirting with other girls; if there are too many girls in the forest, they will fight often... and you wouldn't also want that half-goat in the underground prison, would you..."

"How is that possible."

Miss Ainala the half-goat of the Balance Association.

Afterwards, Rod had Tally secretly imprison her and ensured that the Druid half-werewolf Oga did not find out.

That madwoman wanted to kill him; living was impossible.

But before killing her, she still had to serve her final purpose.

Given that the appearance of 【Hero Candidates】 was too frequent.

If one feared their 【Hero Curse】 and never killed them, it would be too irritating.

It was rare to have a sample in hand.

Rod naturally had to research how to avoid it.

Wait until the elf Kali is healed, then ask her.

It was getting late.

After chatting a few words with Dimia, Rod parted ways and returned to the forest.

Just as he approached the ranger's hut.

【Spider Sense】 immediately detected someone inside the hut.

However, this skill could only perceive body size, not see appearance like vision.

So judging by the body size, it looked like the girl's figure of either Zombie Selena or Pony Girl Little Little Bangde.

But the former despised him greatly and would never voluntarily enter his hut.

The latter was always accompanied by a bunch of noisy squirrels, so that was unlikely too.

Rod, filled with suspicion, turned the door lock.

What came into view.

Was a timid girl with pale red skin, two horns on her head, and a devil's tail growing from her back.

Tiefling Cece.

More importantly, she was naked.

Her left hand blocked horizontally across her small but substantial chest.

Her right hand slid down, clasped between her legs.

Her firm waist was a graceful handful; below that, the heart-stopping curves were her healthy, full, and wild hips and thighs.

Her red skin stood out like fire in the pitch-black hut.

Strangely, there wasn't even a trace of a sulfur smell.

Cece's yellow-black eyes held longing and shyness.

"Mr. Rod... I... have come to fulfill my duties as a servant..."
