The last headhunter

Chapter 19 Headhunting Ends
Can't wait.Can't wait any longer.

Everything is squeezing and brewing in my heart.

The distrust from mercenaries and adventurers, the threat from Kurst, and even the provocation from the death knight who has disappeared for many years.This unsatisfactory headhunting, this tormenting, complicated, and extremely difficult recruitment in response to SSS-level commissions, was like an iron thorn stabbing fiercely into the boy's still soft heart.

It is a crime in itself, let alone wealth and status.What Sariel left for himself was only a purse of one hundred Luoan coins.That was the remuneration originally intended for Mal.Just a fledgling headhunter with vague hopes for the future. Why did he attract so much attention?And how many coveted forces from ancient times are there?

Rick and Mimeng's temporary support is just to watch a joke. Marle is even more uncertain.Although Michel, the only master writer who firmly supported him, was amiable and friendly, he couldn't help him at all in terms of combat—if one looked back, how could such a situation show a way forward?
In the end, maybe it's all just being clever.

In the wooden house in the rest room, the team members who have already joined the team are analyzing the situation in detail.They are conducting further assessments of risks and benefits.These profit-seeking opportunists will never take care of young people's minds.Even when Judgment Blade came to the execution scene and cut off the limbs of the teenager, they would still be delighted and excited by the blood.After all, it's just the loss of a megalomaniac daydreamer, and it won't hurt anyone's rights.

Senior Riel——

The young man silently recited her name, and recited the voice that he had been yearning for since he was a child.

Things that are hidden from everyone in the past that have no way of knowing.Do I have the honor to uncover and recognize?
Can't wait.

"Excuse me, Senior Michelle. For headhunters, after the recruitment in the Hero Tavern is completed, how do you formally establish a team?"

"Professional guild members and above-level members are required to sign and register the contract. At the same time, report this information to the highest-level mercenary management association in the province, in case something unexpected happens to the team, and they can make timely corresponding actions. deal with."

"In other words, two layers of registration are required—only after that, will it truly have the legal effect of formal recognition?"

"Arguably so. It's just—"

"It's just that such regulations have long existed in name only. The mercenary order can now be implemented only with the approval of the local professional guild."

Michelle's words were interrupted by Rick.He couldn't stand this pedantic old man for a long time.

"The royal family doesn't care about the so-called conformity to the law. In this era, survival has long become the most precious pursuit. You complete the task and then receive the reward. SSS-level entrustment. Naturally, go to the royal capital to receive the reward. That is The richest paradise in the entire territory, they will not renege on their debts. What greets you there is noble etiquette."

"All you need is your signature. That's it."

The boy muttered and stood up.He is holding a list of all registered adventurers so far.

In a short afternoon, in this still dusty Hero Tavern, although there were various episodes, it was not a waste of work.

The five "exiles", mid-level thieves, all have rich experience in fighting the undead.The two had participated in the Patriotic War. Although they had only fought some small bosses in the exile domain and had never actually met the Dreadlord, that was also an absolute highlight that could prove their strength, including that kind old man.And the other three are the outstanding ones who have been audited by the professional guild and have excellent hunting results.They have more or less built their own suits, which can face all kinds of complicated and bad situations with ease.Even if you retreat, fleeing is definitely not a problem.

In other words, the "exile" itself is a strong man who is particularly good at hiding and moving.When they were thieves, they trained their foot strength and body skills with extraordinary talents. When they merged with the night, no matter how sharp their eyes were, they could not catch the slightest breath of them.They worship the night bat, a flat, flying creature.And their special ability is to swim and hide in the night transparently, silently.

Therefore, such a strong man suddenly became the target of the young man's first choice.In fact, they did have excellent concentration. When the junior thieves ran away after hearing Kurst's name, they all stood still.This is comforting enough.

It's just strange that in this headhunting, none of the thieves' other job-changing "assassins" appeared.They are the advanced form commonly chosen by thieves, simply because being an assassin can earn more money from bounties.After receiving the assassination order, cut off the enemy's throat cleanly and then turn over the job, you can get much more reward than ordinary undead hunting orders.This is also the reason why they say, "people are more expensive than zombies".So maybe they also felt that they were not suitable, so they didn't come to participate in this headhunting.

Or maybe with any other purpose.

Fortunately, there are exiles.Their huge skill tree is dazzling, and there are even some physical survival skills like "feign death". This is very surprising.But for them who have been wandering for many years, this may be necessary again.

Turn your gaze back to the mage.What has been going on just now is the recruitment of mages.A mage plays the role of a person with special abilities in the team, releasing a magical storm to cause mass destruction, or tricking his enemies like magic, and even protecting his teammates. They are absolutely indispensable core figures.When natural disasters came to the world and the meteorite hit the surface of the earth and the kingdom was about to be destroyed, Rian used all his magical energy and the world shield summoned by Riel's life sacrifice to win survival and freedom for all survivors. respite.No matter how strong the armor and shield wall are, how can they compare with the moment of that light curtain?
Even though they are very powerful and crucial, the fragility of mages is obvious.Every use of large-scale magic is a violent burning of life, and it is the torment of the body caused by the excessive extraction and spewing of the magic spring.As a price, their bodies are terrifyingly fragile.When the undead army tore apart the defenses of the knights and warriors and entered, those poor elemental mages were killed in various cruel ways, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place.They were powerless to resist the torment and tearing of gluttons, ghouls, giant turtle snakes, and death witches. After that battle, mages who focused on elemental energy were almost extinct. What they wanted to learn more was how to save their lives.

This is also the reason why the number of mages is so large, and the so-called "most popular mage transfer" brought out by You Mo as a royal professional guild, naturally relies on the re-engraving of the legendary equipment of Li Thoke, which is also true. It's not that difficult to understand.And the ghosts are really powerful, and it's not a lie.They can smash the undead to pieces with absolutely overwhelming firepower before they get close to them-even if the cost is more exaggerated than imagined.

None of the ghosts who were waiting for the interview were young.

At least it seems.

Mage
The young man lightly touched the two very beautifully written Armani words.That is the current text that is very convenient and widely circulated among mages.And miraculously, the young man actually knew these beautiful songs like scrolls.

Deman.That is the extreme ice master who protected everyone with an ice wall just now, brave and fearless.And the unique unruly temperament he showed in the interview is also the biggest difference from these mid-level mages who are used to the city, arrogant and cold.This is why the teenager decided to include him in the team.But his original intention is that he does not need anyone who is not good at fleeing.

And now, perhaps, he will be the only mage accompanying him.

"Today's headhunting is over. If you are interested, please come back tomorrow."

The boy stood up, cleared his throat and said so.

"Too many things have happened. I think all of us need some time to think and adjust. The professional guild will continue to recruit this round at the fifth Luo'an tomorrow morning."

"Now, please leave."

"What—it's over now? Didn't you feel excited just now?"

"The coward is afraid, right? Did you pee your pants in the face of the death knight? Want to go back and change your pants?"

"Let's do another round! Only six people were selected in one afternoon, the efficiency is too low!"

"Headhunting! Can you do it! Can you hurry up!"

"Yes! Hurry up!"

Hearing the boy's announcement that the headhunting was suspended, all the adventurers waiting for the interview seemed to explode.They have long been unaccustomed to such formal recruitment.In the process of free and arbitrary team formation, rules and procedures are things that have been completely forgotten.

They will raise doubts, be dissatisfied with headhunters, and despise and abuse without awe.And this headhunting may have been a pitiful joke in their eyes from beginning to end.

Even if that is indeed an SSS level commission.Even Michel, the master writer, did join the teenage camp.

"Are you sure? If today ends here, then there are really only two Luo'an days before the end of the mission."

Rick frowned, rubbing his slender chin.

"I recommend that you seriously consider the consequences of your actions."

"I can't wait any longer. I don't need to wait any longer."

The boy murmured in reply.

"Headhunting, it's over."

At that moment, he felt the trembling in his heart.

That's some sort of resonance.That is some kind of power that has been calling out to me from the bottom of my heart.

A sense of majestic transparency that makes one's heart tremble cannot be hovered peacefully.

"Just these people?"

Rick was not surprised at all, his eyes were quite calm.

"Just these people."
