The last headhunter

Chapter 3 Elementalist?
The boy could hear his own breathing, mixed in the wind, messy and noisy.

He has unimaginable mobility when walking in civilian clothes, which is also the first prerequisite for him to be a headhunter.

Defense ability and agility cannot have both.The durability required for frontal combat must be at the expense of physical mobility.

This is also the reason why Uncle Knight couldn't ask for help by himself.

As for why he chose to fight instead of retreating, he more or less understood.

The salary of a butcher is already so generous, presumably the flame lord is not bad either.

Its booty must be very valuable.

Thinking this way, the boy rushed to the city gate.

"Open the door! Please open the door! I need help!"

He shouted out of breath.But hearing that it was a human being, the closed door naturally slowly opened.Two warriors in strong and sharp clothes walked towards him vigilantly.

"Hello. This... boy. Welcome to Ao'an Town, the paradise of swordsmen. You look very tired."

The leader speaks.

"Do you need a glass of kumiss? It costs 10 Luoan coins. It's definitely worth it."

"No, no. That's not the case. I'm here to find help—an adventurer warrior encountered a difficult monster in the wild, and asked me to come for help."

"Looking for a helper. Is there a recruitment order? Or, a letter of proof? Or any token entrusted by that soldier?"

"I don't have any of those things."

The boy slowly stood still, took a deep breath, and held the ancient book in his hand tightly.

"Then why do you come here to recruit warriors? Homeless people who are looking for trouble, talking nonsense, and alone are not welcome here. Either explain the professional certificate that the guild will give you, or show your proof of help, otherwise, please quickly leave."

His words were full of disdain and provocation, but they were also firm and serious.This is an order issued by the kingdom, but an iron law that every gatekeeper must abide by.Wanderers and rangers are now only worthy of the lowest level of treatment.

Not to mention the frail, skinny young man in front of him.

But what the boy said next surprised him.

"I'm not unprofessional. I'm a headhunter! My specialty is Hero Finding! I'm not a homeless person!"

headhunting.Headhunting——

This long-standing name actually made the gatekeeper stunned.

How long ago was that.That was the most glorious period for headhunters.Auan Town even has a tavern exclusively for headhunters, where the most famous heroes from the surrounding cities of Auan once gathered.They chatted, and they cooperated to complete one difficult reward order after another.The headhunters tapped the hero's potential to the extreme, and successfully killed the lord-level dreadlord during the third large-scale invasion of the undead.The Horn of the Dread Demon King was recovered by Wangcheng and paid [-] Luoan coins to the professional guild in Ao'an Town.

Ten thousand Luoan coins.All the wealth accumulated by the more than [-] residents of the entire town is nothing more than that.With that many gold coins, it is more than enough to go to the blacksmith center in Tianqu province to forge a great frost sword.That is the wealth that many people dream of, and it is also the reason why professional headhunters have embarked on the journey for a while.

But now, with the heroes wandering all over the world and gradually disappearing, coupled with the fact that the undead are becoming more and more difficult to deal with, resulting in the mass death of headhunters, this profession has completely disappeared from the territory of professional guilds.

What's more, the guild leader Aktur, who is proficient in the five professions of cavalry (warriors/knights), mages, thieves, priests, and hunters, has already announced that he will no longer recognize the profession of headhunting.

However, everyone knows that Aktur's former idol was the master headhunter Riel, the strongest headhunter who successfully found the ultimate magician Anthony Ryan.

Even he was completely disappointed in the headhunter, let alone others.

"Headhunting? That is no longer a profession recognized by the world. The guild will not recognize your persistence and recklessness."

He slowly withdrew from his fugue, but left behind a cold sentence like this.

"I don't care what excuses you use to enter here, there is no proof, no permission, please forgive me for keeping you out in accordance with the security laws of the Kingdom of Luo'an."

"But, but I really need the assistance of a mage! That warrior won't last long."

The young man walked forward anxiously, but was blocked by a cold battle ax that rushed straight at him.

"An order is an order, sorry. Exec, close the door."

The iron door began to close creakingly, and the hope of the young man seemed to disappear together.

He shouted unwillingly.

"Ruel has already admitted me! Why don't you admit it? Why!"

The words seemed to hover penetratingly, and surged into the sky with the strong wind.The dark clouds in the distance were left with lightning, but they merged with the flames unrestrainedly, stirring up a chaotic and monstrous wall of fire on the flame basin not far away.

The power of the element is exploding, it seems to have sensed some powerful existence, and it begins to tremble violently and violently.

"Rael. Rael. Hahahahahaha. You mean, Rael admitted you?"

"Bring me to see!!!!!!"

A thunderbolt suddenly exploded, and the tiny fine dust gathered in the air began to tremble.Immediately afterwards, with a flash of white light that had no time to react, a phantom stood majestically beside the boy.

"You are—who are you?"

The young man couldn't lift his head up in front of such majesty. He tightly protected the scrolls and ancient books in his hands, struggling to kneel on the ground.

"Let me go. This is my most precious treasure!!! I have nothing left to lose. Let me go!"

The guards were stunned.They knew that they had met someone they shouldn't have met, and quickly sealed the iron gate tightly in panic.In an instant, the alarm in the city began to jingle, and the wandering residents on the street fled to their homes in fear of the horror of the catastrophe.

"You know what you have to lose as a headhunter?"

The incarnation of the storm murmured like that.

"And do you know, Rael, what has been lost?"

The pressure of the storm suddenly disappeared at that moment.The existence that couldn't see the shadow turned into an old man standing beside him, and what he was flipping through in his hand was the ancient book tightly held by the young man.

"Who are you?"

"It turned out that the old man had already entrusted his mantle to a soul he recognized. Young man, forgive me for my stupidity. I really didn't see your potential before—now it's just beginning to emerge."

The storm actually started to calm down as he paced slowly.

"Answer your question. If it's his order, I'll just trust the headhunter again."

"I am Tharys Warhammer. The last elementalist in the world."

Elementalist?
The young man stared in disbelief at the white-haired old man who was gradually taking shape.The magical staff standing in his hand was shining with some trembling spots of light.

The crown owner of the Elementalist had all died when humans fought against the second natural disaster.At that time, the kingdom entangled the power of all the elementalists to launch a frost barrage to try to fight against the endless meteorites, but in the end they were exhausted due to lack of mana, and no one was spared.Because of their fall, the springs of mana in the northern mountains have also dried up.

But now... this elder who suddenly appeared, actually said that he is an elementalist?Impossible right——

But that doesn't matter anymore.I don't care who you are!Help if you can!
The boy quickly stood up, picked up the fallen sword and put it in its scabbard.The icy cold wind had carved countless marks of flesh and blood on his body, but he didn't care.

"If you are an elementalist, then you are needed right now."

He said so firmly.

"My friend, I need your help."

"The bounty is 40% of the items dropped by the monster. If it is not enough, we can talk about it."

"Qian Xiaoyi. No problem, Mr. Headhunter, please listen carefully."

The old man smiled, and walked forward slowly under the guidance of the young man.

The guide of Riel's soul has finally reappeared in the world.

And is this good or bad?
What do you think, old man?
I didn't tell him the secret about Rael.There are so many stories about what happened.
