The last headhunter

Chapter 14 The First Headhunt

guide.

Must be the guide.Whether it's Sarrell or Michelle, one saves him from life and death, and the other paves the way for his fame.

The power born in the dark, the tidal moon full of undercurrents.The young man felt that the balance of the world was tilting, and some kind of light was flying around in front of his eyes.

The boy led the old man to the vigilant Mi Meng and Rick.There is a kind of cunning in the hidden calm, and now, many things do not need to be explained.

Gorgeous moose skin uniform, dark black fan-shaped cloak.Such an incompatible style, but now it seems to complement each other.

"Dear consul, and professional guild leader, two seniors. Good afternoon."

"Let me introduce you. Who is this next to you?"

Compared with the boy's polite bow, Mi Meng is more interested in this white-haired old man.In a way he couldn't explain why he felt familiar.

It's like a friend who has been away for many years, or a person who is deeply impressed in memory.But I can't find the reason - why do people who obviously don't know each other feel familiar?If the old man in front of him who is capable of translating encrypted letters from the palace has a great reputation, it is impossible for him not to know about it.

Rick said nothing.His eagle eyes were fixed on the mysterious man with a kind face, but he couldn't feel anything.

"Sorry. I don't know his name. Maybe just a master writer—"

"My name is Otarian Michel. I belong to the Otarian family who used to be the imperial civil servant."

But it interrupted the boy's words.Michelle ignored his astonishment and said this straight to the point.

"The Otarian family has served the royal family all their lives, and they are the ultimate civil servants who have assisted the will of the supreme ruler since the birth of human consciousness in the Luo'an continent. Palace documents, secret letters, every stroke and every painting in the king's announcement... almost All from our family! Two gentlemen, I am the last blood of that family, Michelle."

"What--Otarian? The highest manager of the royal library, the pinnacle of knowledge. That means control of all logic in the world. You mean, the family that was declared dead by the royal family earlier left you behind As a kindling seed? The map of knowledge that completely disappeared with the burning of the library in the jihad still exists in your palm?"

"It's hard to imagine what you have experienced. The dark past recorded in the history books, the twilight of human knowledge. When the 76 engravers of the Ottarian family were slaughtered by the demon witches, we all thought that the giant tower of history had collapsed. .”

"I'm overwhelmed by your return, Michelle."

The field of vision suddenly became enlightened, and the unpredictable fog quietly dissipated.When Mi Meng heard Otarian's name, the confusion in her heart suddenly disappeared, replaced by the excitement that she had forgotten for a long time.

"I probably understand. Judging from your control over the text, you do have that ability. If you are really the successor of the noble Ottarian family, it is indeed difficult for me to perceive your aura. The current The handwritten letter from the chief mage of the court. I can only understand a general idea of ​​me, and I can’t question your identity. It’s really shocking to completely decipher and retell the contents of the letter.”

Rick said so lightly.Compared to the misty surprise, he just nodded slightly.

"So, Senior Michelle. I can only call you Senior. Your Majesty will be very pleased with your appearance. Your return must also be to help the Kingdom of Loan rebuild the destroyed knowledge base, and to re-engrave those Missing skills, pharmacology and biological knowledge. The small Ao'an Town is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

"No, you misunderstood. Rick. Of course I understand that as the owner of the Judgment Blade recognized by the royal family, your loyalty to Carrie O is unlimited. But now the Kingdom of Luoan is crumbling, and the royal family is decaying and collapsing .and what do you expect them to do?"

"Such a horrible mass killing, such a serious robbery of food and grass, the royal knights didn't come out? If it was Wu En Ao, if it was the king, how could he tolerate the rampant undead monsters in the world? ?”

"I don't think I need to say much about why heroes are so hidden from the world."

"It seems that we are not in the same position. Of course adventurers can have their own ideas, and heroes will also have their own origins. Perhaps this is not the focus of our discussion."

Rick remained expressionless.

"Then it seems that your purpose is not to return to the royal system. Your nostalgia for the court texts does not promote your desire to rebuild the knowledge base—in contrast, you are more willing to watch it be destroyed. Then you come to Austria An Zhen, I think the purpose of coming to this boy at this juncture is very pure."

"It's better to give young people a chance. You two. I paid attention to this young man early on - and I also saw the storm coming. No matter how you look at it, no matter what risks you face, this trying to become a headhunter The boy is trying to give everyone hope. He is also willing to bet this one time, to prove that headhunting is not a useless profession with the goal of completing SSS-level commissions, and he will do better than any of us imagined. "

Michelle was hunched over, her old body showing exhaustion.But what he said was more neutral than ever.This pressure on Rick and Mimeng may be greater than any letter from Carrie O.

"Actually. It was already impossible to stop his performance. Now, I want him to give it a go. In fact, you also know that even if you don't complete this commission, it will have no effect on the royal family. They probably won't Accountability. Rick originally wanted to use this order to borrow a knife to kill people, but he didn't expect that the engravers from Orta Hughes would jump up to catch him. Is it just because of Riel?"

"Now, boy. This SSS-level entrustment—will be the first major challenge you face, and it will also be your first headhunting. Perhaps, you should really cherish it."

The rare seriousness of the mist made the young man feel extremely uncomfortable.It's funny to say that if Michelle hadn't confessed his identity to stand by the young man, he would have no credibility at all, it would be impossible to complete the commissioned formation, and he would certainly not be able to escape death.

One's own personal strength may be weak from beginning to end.

But no matter what, there is one thing the boy understands.

He is writing his own history.And wearing the halo of the strong will also be the burning of the self.

If the traditional recruitment process is followed, in the case of multiple headhunters, each headhunter will conduct a subjective and objective evaluation of all the candidates, and then in the vote return link, they will conduct separate exchanges among the overlapping evaluations. Analyze and negotiate until the headhunters have reasonably high expectations for the results of the screening, and then publish the final list left behind.Of course, if the number of people screened out by the headhunting results is less than or more than the mission-related regulations, the next round of re-discussion is required, and it will be repeated until the optimal lineup discussed by all the headhunters is completed.

With limited resources, a vast sea of ​​people, and the need to balance income, time is also limited.How do headhunters eliminate and select, how to exchange low costs for high returns, and get the most money from employers?What is left to the headhunters is intricate thinking.

It's brain power, but it's not just brain power.For headhunting, there has always been a set of independent skill system training.From the lowest level of tracking and clarification to the advanced identity detection and sky eye, headhunters not only need speaking skills, but also need to protect themselves, hurry, escape and pursue.

The more powerful headhunters, in the process of following legends to find heroes, even use the magic of turning into beasts.Riel's student, Melha, is a magician who studies chemistry.He mixed the medicine with magic, and turned himself into a sharp-horned tyrannosaurus with independent thinking ability and even talking, which can effectively protect himself from undead monsters during the journey.It's just a pity. On the outskirts of Tianqu Province, his head was found by civilians, and he collapsed on the haystack with a shocked face.

These are all stories of the past.Most of the headhunters are a mixture of hundreds of skills, so they know a thing or two about the abilities of each profession.But for the fledgling teenagers, this is simply a big problem.He doesn't understand the skill trees of the five major professions at all, and he can't make a reasonable judgment. If the other party reports his identity as a middle-level thief who has changed his job to a pharmacist, but he talks about assassination and disappearance in terms of skills, the boy can't make a decision. There is no reasonable explanation for his ability.

For this problem, Mal, Michelle, and even Rick said they would help him a little.As for another question, the mastery of dialogue skills may be just a test of talent.

The bewildered guards roughly cleaned the Heroes Tavern, and brought in mahogany boutique tables and chairs.The pungent dusty smell finally stopped exuding the stench, and the evening wind was mixed with moist moisture. The young man took a deep breath and felt a rare relaxation.

The adventurers in the recruitment team lined up in an orderly line under Rick's planning, and the young man slowly sat down. In front of him stood the first burly man.

The first headhunting starts here.

One vote belongs.This is a large-scale recruitment that belongs to the only headhunter.

"Please take a seat. The condescending feeling makes me very uneasy. Sit down and talk."

"Squeak-"

The chair whined in agony.

"Trouble you. Occupation, rank, highlights, and your opinion on the task?"

"Occupation, warrior, class is junior, and has not changed class yet. Damn, this feels weird. How long has it been since I have been interrogated like this by a headhunter? Why should I explain this to you? I——— "

"Your strength is your tantrum. I get it. If you don't want to be in this fight, maybe you can get out of the way for the next one. Time is very limited."

The boy's expression remained unchanged.He seems to have always been a person who is completely indifferent to threats.And his reaction made the big man in front of him speechless and lost his words.

"Cut. You are a headhunter, you are amazing. This is the Hero Tavern after all, let me keep some rules. In fact, if it was like I did just now, the bartender would have come up to beat me up. It's just a pity that the bartender is completely gone. With you alone Guy, what kind of turbulent waves are set off again."

He sighed.

"I don't have any bright spots. My biggest bright spot is daring to dare to attack people. No matter what kind of hunting and fighting, I can be the reckless guy who rushes to the front. I have repaired the shield block to level nine— — You must know that the full level is only level ten. I have also hardened my muscles to level six, and ordinary swords can't even hurt my fur! Moreover, headhunter, listen to me, my ancestral cavalry heavy armor, even under The Butcher's Greatblade doesn't even move when it strikes. If you need a warrior who takes the damage for your team, I'm the man for it."

"I believe Rick can testify to this point. I have completed too many commissions for professional guilds. I am also an absolutely qualified tank front row, and I am not afraid of any harm. You have no reason to use me, it is just a reward question. Listen—"

"Time's up. Over. Next."

"Unfortunately, you can't impress me."

The boy sneered like this, and signaled the guards to pull the big man away.The scene was silent.

"Why? Didn't I make it very clear? Hey!!!"

"You should have a higher degree of tolerance, boy. I think you can pull him into the team. He actually talked very clearly."

Maer dissuaded him like this, but was stared back by the boy's eyes.

"My team doesn't need brats of any kind."

"It's not about dying, it's about completing a mission and everyone wants to come back alive. Bravery means nothing!"

"The king told us to use whatever means, but using whatever means is not the only way. If regaining food and investigating identity is the only purpose... then I actually have a better choice."

"Notary! I want to change the way headhunting is done."

"Say."

Rick couldn't describe the shock in his heart.What kind of talent is this?He is just a newcomer, but his speech just now is completely outrageous.What kind of boldness is hidden in his heart? Maybe no one knows.

"The thieves, please enter first! The rest of the adventurers take a break."

"Rogues enter. Others,"

"have a rest."

Rick understands the boy's intentions.He turned his head to look at Michelle who was smiling, and an indescribable complex emotion rose in his heart.
