The last headhunter

Chapter 12 The Hero Tavern
"We follow them, they come for us. We need them, they fight for us."

"Swear here. The soul of a hero will burn here forever."

The former Hero's Tavern is a landmark building that every town must build.There are the largest number of merchants, blacksmiths, extraordinary people, and of course, headhunters.

Solicitation orders, special rewards, mysterious item trading, gambling, SSS level entrustment.The Hero Tavern, which is full of magic and treachery, has left too many legendary stories.

Neo, a wandering swordsman, carried a [-]-kilogram sword made of pure cold iron with him. His potential was discovered by headhunters, and he was trained by the royal family to become a super warrior.In the Second Patriotic War, he slaughtered seven butchers with only one person, forcing the death lord to lead his army to retreat.

Bartos the Arcanist, with his ancestral secrets, cultivated the extremely rare arcane ability, was discovered by headhunters, and was promoted to the head of the professional guild mage in Tianqu Province, and stepped forward in response to the surprise attack led by the fearful demon king. Facing the sea of ​​gluttonous corpses alone.At that time, the light of the Arcane Missile shone throughout the sky.He also became famous in this battle and was incorporated by the royal family to be responsible for training rookie mages.

Ekman the Eternal, a mid-level priest, possesses a holy artifact left over from the natural disaster—the angelic scepter.Although it takes a long time to recharge, it has the mysterious effect of fully restoring all vitality to the injured, which is completely unmatched by other priests who rely on magic.He was discovered by headhunters and greatly helped the human legion in many tragic battles.It's just unfortunate that in a certain defeat, he was too late to retreat while covering the wounded, and was captured by the Dread Demon King, who tore him to pieces with his own hands.The angel's scepter was also lost.

They all come from the hero's recruiting place, the Hero's Tavern.There, headhunters will conduct an in-depth assessment and make judgments on their abilities, qualifications, characteristics and future trends.Such results are often very subjective, which requires headhunters themselves to have a strong ability to identify.They need to see through the deepest things hidden in the candidates' hearts, and use a thorough and keen perception to fully grasp all the details of the person in front of them.

Keep the interviews as short as possible, with as few questions as possible and as sharply as possible.In high-intensity and fast-paced assessments, headhunters need to respond quickly and be responsible for their own assessments.

This is undoubtedly a very high challenge.Therefore, the previous headhunting qualifications were quite difficult to test.The guild will find some ordinary adventurers and masters who hide their aura to mix together. If you want to become a headhunter, you must be keenly aware of those hidden people. There are 15 masters among the 3 people, only need to find two to pass.But even so, the pass rate of the headhunting qualification examination is still less than 10%, which is in great contrast to the nearly 40.00% pass rate of other professions.

Many people will not understand why.Isn't it just a chat?It should be easy to test the truth, right?What is deliberately hidden will be exposed sooner or later.But the truth is often——

In today's era, many people have lost the ability to communicate with others.

Everyone hides too deeply, it seems that if you don't have a plan, you can't live, and if you don't hide something, you will be laughed at.

It is a kind of fear to be seen through by others, and it is a kind of shame and humbleness not to leave a way out for oneself.

In an environment where everyone is in danger, hiding is a kind of shrewdness.

This is why it is difficult for headhunters to find talents.

But now, the boy is knocking on the door here again.The hidden myths and legends, the glorious past of heroes, and the excitement of toasting and toasting are burning silently in this suffocating dust and ruins.

It was a complete mess in the house.The creaking sound of stepping on the wooden floor seemed to remind the boy and Mal that this place would collapse at any time.The wine glasses and bottles had been snatched away, the table was overturned on the ground, the scattered chairs were splashed with dust, and they collapsed in the corner without arms and legs.

This is a place abandoned by God.This is long forgotten, the ashes of history.At this moment, the young man stood in it, filled with a sense of sigh.

If Riel knew this, what would she think?Has the glory of the Hero Tavern come to an end?
Or maybe I can-

"Okay. Great hero. This is the place you are looking for, the most prosperous holy place in Ao'an Town, the Hero Tavern."

Mi Meng smiled behind his back.

"You need a sense of ritual, I know. Then please complete your obsession in such a dilapidated place. You have never systematically learned about headhunting, so I don't have too much confidence in the results of your recruitment Expectations. Just do whatever you want."

"In this case, why did you follow?"

The young man threatened coldly.

"Since you have acknowledged my identity as a headhunter, don't get in the way again."

"Oh, no offense, my friend. I just wanted to witness your failure with my own eyes. What did you do, you little brat? Besides, you're an arrogant rat who wants to be a headhunter. Okay, it's time for you to announce yours Entrusted task requirements and recruiting targets. I am here to listen, as an administrative notarization and order maintenance."

Having said that, Mimeng sat on the chair brought by his subordinates for him.Behind him, a group of adventurers crowded together in darkness.The young man couldn't see their faces clearly, he only knew that the surrounding air had become extremely quiet, and countless pairs of eyes stared at him with contempt or gloom or ridicule or expectation.

For a moment, he was unable to speak a word.It was the first time to stand in front of so many people, the first time to experience the test of so many people, my heart was filled with great fear, my lips began to tremble involuntarily, and cold sweat slowly dripped from the corners of my forehead.

"Okay. Boy - calm down. Take it easy, it will be embarrassing. If you want to become a headhunter, you need to go through a lot more tests than this. You need more courage, and guts, and the willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals Perseverance."

"Don't follow me. I—"

"Listen. Heroes. I'm an adventurer from Lorraine. I'm 19 years old. Because I haven't seen my parents since I was a child, I haven't been given the name of God, and I haven't been registered in the national register of Lorraine. So, everyone Just call me nameless."

The boy interrupted Maer's muttering, but suddenly mustered up his courage.

"I have never seen anything in the world, and almost all of my 19 years were wasted in Luolan Village. So this is why I tried to go out and venture out-I am not willing to hide in the shadow of the undead for the rest of my life. Waiting for the destruction to come. I need to fulfill my childhood dream, and I need to realize the worship deep in my heart. I want to be a headhunter, and I also want to be a master headhunter like Riel. If I can pass on that Skill, gathering the glory of heroes, maybe—maybe we can launch a counterattack against the undead and take back our lost land!"

"Just like Rian, there must still be more heroes who have never met in the world. They can control the situation on their own and save us from fire and water. I need their help, and everyone needs it!"

"And my responsibility is to find them out, even at the cost of my own life. It's just that I have that kind of wish—that kind of wish can never be denied, right?"

"I implore everyone to help me. If you don't believe in headhunting, I will use my actions to convince everyone. Even if I am the last headhunter, I can accomplish immortal feats! I can rebuild the glory of the Luoan Kingdom!"

"please!"

The boy bowed deeply to the crowd.Those present were all moved.At that moment, it was as if a flame was burning in the cold heart.In this era of lack of hope, the boy's courageous struggle and roar seemed to be more dazzling than the shooting stars in the sky.

Headhunters and heroes used to lead adventurers, civilians, and even the royal family to find hope.And the young man in front of him is trying to shoulder this responsibility and give everyone the answer to their fate.

Is it sincere enough?
"What task? Tell us. If you can tell us what the entrustment is and what level it is, maybe we will trust you more."

"Yes! What mission? Boy?"

"Could it be some B-level mission? Are you still mobilizing so many people?"

"The mission of hunting zombies, brutes and bats is not interesting at all!"

"If the task level is high enough, I will believe you!"

There was a lot of chatter among the group of adventurers.And the young man also knew that this moment was the best time.His eyes were sternly staring at Mar.

Maer took out a beautifully wrapped parchment from the innermost layer of the armor, floating in the air with purple brilliance.Mystical energy is escaping from those eloquent characters.The palace characters danced and danced in extremely exaggerated fonts, and actually began to fly and spin in the air!Gradually, these words took shape and were progressively written line by line in front of the adventurers.

"This is? This is——SSS-level entrustment?"

Mimeng stood up from the chair abruptly.Of course, he had seen commissions of this scale—it was a document issued directly by the court, written by a court mage, and the spell energy contained in it was enough to make people drool!It is precisely because of this that such letters arrive very quickly, and the journey of nearly ten thousand miles often only takes half a day.This is enough to show how important the contents of this letter are.

The commission Mar and the unknown boy obtained from Rick turned out to be an SSS class directly from the royal family?
What a weight!Even Mi Meng has only seen SSS class twice!

The adventurers present were all stunned.But there are also a few people who reacted differently and frowned.

"you----"

"The key point is the content of the letter. The text has been encrypted by a spell. You may not understand it, so I'll just paraphrase it."

Mal cleared his throat, ready to start announcing the commission.After the entrustment is announced, the next step is to recruit warriors to sign up.That's the job of a teenager.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get nervous.

"existing--"

"Mr. Mal. Mr. Mal."

An old mage with a hunched waist suddenly shouted from the crowd.

"Can I let the old man relay it? I want to see those, ancient palace writings!"

"You are? Can you understand?"

The crowd made way for the old man.With his back on his back, people couldn't see his face clearly.He gave people the impression that he was really that ordinary old man, an old bone of old age.

The boy looked at him carefully and motioned Mal to shut up.

"I can try."

"Old man. This is not your place to talk."

Misty said.The old man narrowed his eyes and replied with a kind smile:

"So. Just trying. It's okay."
