The last headhunter

Chapter 13 Deciphered commission
old man.Another old man.

The teenager couldn't forget Samuel's heroic appearance.When he awakened the creation of the elements and ignited the monstrous flames, his white hair fluttered in the wind, and the staff in his hand was shining brightly.

He seems to be floating in the huge and crazy ripple realm along with the surrounding air. The soul-stirring trembling that is enough to distort time and space is like putting a person in a cradle that hovers infinitely, and the young man's foresight This overwhelming destructive energy can only be like a squeaking white mouse, being forced to kneel on the ground, unable to raise its head.

shocked.Unparalleled shock.It seems that the world is just a corner for Samuel, and he has already gone to a wider sky.

How long does it take for a mortal to reach that state?What did he experience when he traveled the world as a junior mage?
Fuyou slowly withdrew.When the young man looked forward, the memory was still clear, but the people who watched the excitement had already calmed down.The white-haired and kind old man stood majestically in front of the young man, pointing at the palace scroll floating in the air.

There was a twinkle in his eye.The boy could see clearly.It is a desire for treasure, it is also a kind of nostalgia, a kind of worry about the past that cannot be traced.

People in this world have lost too much.Perhaps the mysterious old man in front of him is just one of the frustrated travelers.

"Show him. Mal. No problem."

"You should know what happens when a secret is revealed! You know that."

"I didn't intend to keep this secret at all. Because the content of this commission will be announced sooner or later. Rick didn't have any mandatory requirements for us to complete this commission. So we just do it our way .”

The boy said lightly.

"If the old man could read the scrolls, we wouldn't need Rick to relay anything for us. For headhunters... I can't bear the consequences of losing a hero who helped so much. We're in the midst of Danger, don't miss any opportunity."

Those words actually left Mal speechless.He sighed softly, stepped aside silently and waited.The old man greeted him with a smile.

Needless to say, he stood on the podium under the tacit approval of the young man's gaze, and took the roll of parchment tremblingly.And at that moment, the weird shape began to change and dance.

The parchment scroll seemed to have found its owner, and it actually began to circle around the old man, like a wild horse that had run loose and began to move irregularly.Its floating shape began to change, and it actually condensed its shape in the continuous combination, separation and flare of the rays of light!The chaotic text expands, separates and jumps at a speed unrecognizable to the naked eye in a highly complex space exchange.The magical energy filled in the scroll exploded at that moment!
"Go get Rick—"

Misty cries were drowned out by the magical storm.In an instant, the magic of the entire city was silenced, the town hall, the trading guild, and even the professional guild. Almost everyone in the city felt the violent impact.

There was no room for anything in the boy's eyes.What his gaze focused on was the deciphered text floating in the air that had completely diffused its form.They lined up like armored guards in the gloomy air of the tavern.Everyone at the scene looked at these in amazement. On the burnt parchment, the magic of the current book was shining.

And the old man was standing in front of these words, tears filled his eyes.

"I don't think I need to explain this to you, Rick."

This is undoubtedly the busiest day in Ao'an Town.Mimeng, Rick, the two leaders will gather in one place.According to the usual logic, this place should be the focus of some kind of meetings that decide major issues in the city.But who would believe it—they are now facing off against each other with malicious intent in a long-abandoned suburb of the city.

Heroes Tavern, how long has it been since you left?Rick never imagined that it was this kind of place that sent the police to call him to Mimeng, who didn't do anything serious all day long.

Have you turned back time?Or is it all just dreams and hallucinations?
Rick didn't understand at all.In his field of vision, the boy and Mar were already in a deadlock.Their recruitment will definitely end in failure, but they can't understand that at this juncture, Mimeng will help them and decide to let them carry out a recruitment to complete the secret case commission?
How did the Shadow Guard do it?Where did all the information go?Found that they have such a prelude, wouldn't it be enough to stop it as soon as possible?

It's a mess.The Hero Tavern, which is filled with a pungent stench, is still equally disgusting.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling nauseous.

"It's disgusting and confusing. People like you who are ungrateful for profit, now want to draw their swords to help. It's scary to be double-faced."

"It is you, Master Assassin, who did evil things behind my back. The SSS-level commission was not disclosed, but two criminals were directly assigned to complete it. If the king knew about it, what should you do? You let them out You should have expected such a scene when you were in the middle of the night. The current situation is no longer under your control."

"Heh. I never expected that the Hero Tavern will become the focus."

Rick seemed to understand something.He waved the Shadowguard back.He knew that this recruitment could not be stopped.

All are interested in the contents of this SSS-level commission.Ao'an Town is empty of thousands of people, and almost all the adventurers have gathered at the entrance of the Hero Tavern, waiting for the entrustment to be revealed.This young man will thus become a man of the city.

And the old man standing next to the boy, Rick, couldn't see his identity, nor could he figure out his details.The keen eagle eye could not see through him at all.It is estimated that he was also responsible for the deciphering of the ancient court script.

There are more and more strange things.However, there is one thing that he is well aware of.

The difficulty of this commission is exaggerated compared to any SSS level commission.

"Can I go on? Well-ok. Thanks."

The old man said this slowly, and bowed deeply to the guard.He still seemed unable to recover from the joy, and his body trembled involuntarily.Countless adventurers in the dark are gathering in front of him.

"Dear adventurers. Now the old man will bring you a commission statement."

"The invasion of the undead has become more and more rampant, and it has now threatened the daily operation and order of the kingdom. The unknown leader of the undead even set up an ambush at the Ao'an grain transportation road, killing 250 three of the food transportation guards and four of the senior mercenaries. People, three middle-level mercenaries, and two low-level mercenaries. After finding the infected form, the obituary will be issued on another day. The magic falcon has now found out the location of the food and grass, which is 87 miles northeast of your town center. Now order From the 450th Sunday to the 19th Sunday of the year in Luo'an 20, that is, the day after tomorrow, you will take back the food and find out the identity of the leader of the undead tribe. At all costs."

"What? Are you serious? The food and quilts brought to Oan—"

"The commission issued by the royal family will not be false or true. And the escort team was completely wiped out, and nine adventurers were sacrificed—this"

There was commotion among the group of adventurers.Of course there is no doubt about it.In the past three months, the undead have only launched small-scale raids on the village, and never dared to launch a fierce attack on Master Sen's guards.And the addition of the unknown mysterious leader, does it mean the start of a new round of undead attack?
It's hard not to think about it.This is also a matter of human survival.Why did the court ask Ao'an Town to handle it?Wouldn't the high-level mages handed over to the court have a better chance of winning?
The adventurers present were all confused.But it was also difficult for them to question the authority of the royal entrustment, so they could only gradually calm down and continue to listen to the old man's statement.

"There is no limit to any form of team formation, and there is no limit to the number of teams. Anyone who completes the two commissioned items can receive huge rewards from the royal family, position promotion, royal training, and the opportunity to meet the emperor."

This is where adventurers care most. The most noteworthy part of the SSS-level commission is this point.The rich and powerful royal family has won over the gold coins, ore and food resources of almost all the territory of the Loan continent, so they are always willing to be ruthless in the face of entrusted rewards.The value of an SSS-level entrustment may be the guarantee of life safety for a lifetime of worry-free life.This is the supreme temptation for those adventurers who just want to be safe.

"Let me describe the list of rewards in detail."

The boy felt that the ears of all the adventurers present were pricked up at that moment.Maybe it's human's natural greed, even his heart started to throb.

In order to get something, spare your life to get what you want. There is no difference between human beings and birds and beasts.Even if I don't have the life to enjoy the glory and wealth of those seas and rocks, and spend my whole life chasing after the vain fame, but when I die, I can't say a word of resignation.

greedy.Endless greed.

"Senior. Please stop for a moment."

The young man spoke quietly like this, but stopped the old man from speaking.

"This kind of thing, just let Marr do it, you don't need to waste your time, we have more important things. Maybe, you should follow me to meet those two heads of Oan Town. Identity must be very curious. Your presence...is very important to me."

"Of course it's okay. Boy. In this drama, you are the only male protagonist."

He chuckled, and handed the stage to Mar who was eager to try.When his eyes were greedily fixed on the long list of ultimate treasures, the boy couldn't help but hear a burst of wild cheers.

"It's absurd. I haven't been able to learn the name of the senior. Your understanding of the ancient court writing is really eye-catching. You came to me at a critical time and wished me a helping hand. They will definitely trust me more."

"Everything is just as it should be. It's just a pity - when I recognize you, you don't recognize me. It's really a sad thing. What happened in the past is really vivid."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly.Looking at the polite and polite young man in front of him, who even made people feel indifferent, he stretched out his hand involuntarily, and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"The former court writer, the exiled engraver, Michelle. It's an honor to meet you, the successor of Riel's legacy."

"You know Rael? Do you know that—"

The young man stared blankly.The shabby cloth bag he never left by his side at that time concealed an unspeakable secret.

"A collection of last words and legends from the ancient book of Riel. He gave this book to you with his own hands, boy."

"Before you forget, after you remember. I might be able to reprint that book for you hahahaha."

"Welcome back, noble headhunter."
