The last headhunter

Chapter 49 Lipani

When hearing those two words, Yisha Derek's expression suddenly became very strange.His brows were furrowed tightly, and the slight shadows at the corners of his eyes shrank into a black line, trembling slightly.

Headhunting?That profession cursed by the gods and abandoned by the world?The Forsaken who will cause trouble sooner or later, and even bring ominous consequences to the world?If any young man is willing to regain the glory of headhunting, it is definitely an extremely unwise decision.

There will be no security in their lives.The professional guild will not give any form of help, and the city-state will not accept it. Without a qualification certificate, he will suffer all kinds of exclusion in any prosperous place, and even the first law of the kingdom will not defend any of his rights. It also means that headhunters can be oppressed and judged at will.

In such an extremely harsh environment, how could anyone hope to be a seeker who could unite all heroes and even save the world from the hands of the undead?If you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect others?

puzzled.totally do not understand.This is simply a mystery.

But it's also audible.The respectful "exile" in front of him did not lie.If it is a cunning and hypocritical person, he will definitely use more credible arguments to win trust, instead of filling the blank of "no one knows" with such almost completely unconvincing content .Therefore, he is trustworthy.

So, assuming what this friend of the Adventurers Association said is true, then the roulette wheel of the world may really start to turn again——

A brave man who dared to bear the curse appeared.And the return of "Headhunter" brought the return of powerful men like arcane-level magicians who look down on the world.According to records, the last time arcane magic appeared was nearly 300 years ago.This is nothing short of a miracle.

From this point of view, the causes and consequences of many events can actually make sense.

Derek's brows gradually relaxed.After some nervous thinking, he gradually believed in what Manqi said.It seems that he really experienced a battle in the jungle of despair.And such information as his bargaining chip is enough to show his sincerity.

"Adventurer friend you've never met before, what's your name?"

"Colin Manche, Your Highness. It is enough to call me Manche. I was born in the town of Krall, which was destroyed, and worked for you."

He bent down and knelt down on one knee and answered like this.He believed so much—the paladin in front of him, with the wisdom and wisdom inherited from the William family, must be the benefactor who can help him achieve his goal.

"Manqi. I trust and admire your perseverance, sincerity and kindness. You were ordered by Jessica to come here to seek the golden seed and try to save Oan. The determination and bravery contained in such actions have long surpassed the world The courage of ordinary mortals. From this point alone, I will no longer question your identity and motives."

Derek said softly, put the Paladin's sword into the scabbard, and slowly helped Manqi up.

"It should be easier to come to Lipani. Don't be limited and rigid about so many etiquettes. Although noble families generally care about red tape, this is an uncomfortable way for Yisha who pursues freedom and democracy. necessary burden."

"So. Welcome to the City of Golden Trees. Please bear witness to the vast and immortal legend under the protection of the sun."

"Guards. Open the city gate!"

The ancient and magnificent Viola stone gate engraved with the imprint of a lion opened with a bang.This absolutely invincible city gate finally revealed the glory behind it for Manqi.Ten brave warriors in strong and sharp clothes are holding sticks, long spears, long knives, double-headed swords and other customized weapons with their own characteristics, standing majestically on both sides.

And looking into the distance, this prosperous country full of people is filled with exquisite and gorgeous Gothic buildings. All kinds of professional adventurers wander in the cracks of blacksmith shops, chambers of commerce, medicine shops, and reward mission halls, and sell The sounds of business, negotiation, laughter, even the low voice of plotting and the rustling of crimes are all echoed and connected intricately in these row upon row of buildings.

A whole commercial street is well-planned and well-planned, where you can find any materials and items needed by adventurers.You can even use ice soul crystals found from undead to add magic power of ice attribute attacks to your weapons at the blacksmith shop.There are no taboos, absolute freedom, and even the owners of these shops are absolute masters, and you can feel the extraordinary aura on them just by gliding your eyes.Unlike the dual system under the complete rule of the empire, which still applies to the jurisdiction of consuls + professional guilds, the Yisha family, that is, the earl power representing the William family, obviously has a higher tolerance for adventurers.

It's true. It's amazing.Selling illegal drugs such as "Rage Potion" will definitely be arrested and sentenced to public death in O'an.but here
Before he had time to think about it, a whistling sound like a dragon's cry suddenly pulled Manqi back from his contemplation.On the top of the mountain and in the clouds in the distance, under the giant golden tree, there is a magnificent towering spire-shaped building, and at the Refelia Church, a pure golden beam that is more dazzling than the sun rises into the sky.What came with it was the light dust that rained down on the world after the beam of light shattered little by little like glass.Along with the footsteps of the wind, the dust dances in every corner of Lipani.Manqi, who has just stepped into the Holy Tree Town, has of course become a member soaked by this blessing.

It was an indescribable feeling.Warm but elusive, all the exhaustion from the journey dissipated, replaced by an extreme sense of clarity and transparency.Whether it is the sense of smell, hearing or vision, they are all strengthened in several dimensions under the infiltration of this divine blessing.Manqi can even feel the growth of the golden tree extending hundreds of miles away, and the inner cheers, joy and luck of the residents in Lipani, which is built on the mountain.

You are lucky to be here.You don't have to worry about being invaded by undead monsters and being torn to pieces, you don't have to worry about forces like Kursk lurking in it to assassinate and steal money, you don't have to worry about the threat of the awakened, let alone the legendary "betrayer", then blaspheme the king's men.You will live out the rest of your life in peace, in peace.

For the people in this city, this may be a blessing that was earned only after a lifetime of practice in the previous life.

"It's shocking, isn't it. What a coincidence—the moment when you enter the city happens to be the time when the golden tree is blessing the world again. Take this opportunity, you can witness its beauty, greatness and sublime. Maybe our whole life You can’t reach that height.”

Derek saw Manci's surprise.He said with a smile.

"We will stubbornly believe that as long as the golden tree has not withered, human beings will not usher in the end. For this belief, all adventurers, mercenaries, and guardians in Lipani will faithfully and unswervingly keep it forever Pass it on. Even if this town cannot escape extinction, the legend that will be left behind by our will will last forever."

"So, worship the Golden Tree. Spread the teachings of the Golden Tree, as Pope Messes Kleinman did, and bring eternal hope to the world."

"Is the Golden Tree and King Halwara one?"

"To some extent, yes. Historians and theologians have made arguments for this. They believe that the town halls of the five holy tree towns, including Lipani, all have a unique imprint of holy brilliance. Combining these five holy imprints together, it is the personal guard of King Halwara - the portrait of the twelve-winged angel. Therefore, we can believe that the golden tree must be related to that king."

"But King Halwara and Lord Higgs are hostile. To be honest, it's hard for me to convince myself to believe in some...too bright existence."

"This is not contradictory. Faith does not have to be the only one. There are still many Higgs believers in this world, but this does not prevent them from paying respect to the golden tree. You just need to know that the miracle tree in front of you is to save mankind. , the only hope."

The door behind him slowly closed with a loud bang.The triple watchtower in the city started functioning again.The strong and brave guards finished the noble welcome ceremony and retreated in a neat line, the light of the magic holy spring shining brightly at the end of their sight.And the noble castle and the roots of the golden tree submerged in the sea of ​​clouds are still illusory and out of reach.The two stepped into the city one after the other, formally entering this noisy and prosperous land.

"Where are we going?" Mange asked.

"Magical Knowledge Hall. The magic authority association in the fourth district of Lipani. It is a public welfare organization with a longer history than the so-called professional guilds and more appealing and knowledge-effectiveness. It does not serve any war forces. It only uses Educational knowledge, imparting magic and qualification certification, etc."

"It shouldn't be that simple."

"Of course. If it was just so elusive, you would definitely not be invited. Before you can get the golden seed, you need to pass some tests. I am only in charge of referrals, and the effect of the next action depends entirely on You played it yourself."

These words actually made Manqi a little nervous.Time is imminent, and every minute and every second of delay may put His Royal Highness Jie Shika and the unknown boy in danger, but he still has to waste time on unnecessary tests and negotiations. If you go back late, everything will be over. That's too late!Even if you succeed in bringing back the golden seed and the pastor, it's nothing!
"Your Highness, I need to remind you that I have no time to accompany you through such a complicated request process. You need to give me the seed as soon as possible—otherwise, the career you want to achieve will have no future." Word."

"Of course I understand. But as the future earl successor of the Yisha family, I have to abide by all the rules, even if it seems unreasonable now. Manqi, countless courtiers who asked to see the Golden Tree are fighting with that During the chairman's interview, he was kicked out in disgrace. And if you want to prove that the Adventurer's Association has the possibility of joining forces with Lipani, please prove it to me here."

His face suddenly became serious and dignified.His golden armor caused countless people to look sideways, but he said loudly without paying any attention.

"It proves that the boy you mentioned is indeed the hero who will save the world. It is indeed those headhunters who stood up from the abyss, the unyielding souls."

Headhunters.

What should I be prepared to say?Chrysassius clearly. Or in this era——

Manqi hadn't been fully prepared for the argument he wanted to state until he walked to the gate of the magic circle seal in the majestic hall of magic knowledge.Because he also knows that it is a cursed profession, a profession that is not blessed by any gods and has no faith.Hundreds of thousands of registered headhunters have died and there are no successors. How can such a tragedy make people believe that this young headhunter is worthy of entrusting the golden seed?

Just prove it to me.

Thinking of the hope placed by Isha Derek, Manci took another deep breath.The boy's heroic struggle and unyielding prayer are so clearly and deeply imprinted in his mind.How is it possible to forget, and why do you need proof?
But at the moment when he successfully entered the magic seal through the introduction, Manqi still didn't know——

Fate, at that moment, made a little joke for him.

A life-affecting joke.
