The last headhunter

Chapter 45 Pursuit
Ulu Dynasty, what a magnificent legend.Even today, many prosperous city-states bear monuments to that great dragon god.

He put an end to the never-ending civil war, and the conquest of human beings was silenced under the roar of the dragon.Contradictions among civilizations, religions, and beliefs have been alleviated, and broken homes have been rebuilt in unity.The people of the Dragon Emperor began to jointly create a human empire in the new era under the fusion culture.

After the war was quelled, Nisanks married the human princess Kramer, and new dragon species were constantly being bred in the Dragon Palace.Kramore is an excellent elementalist who can skillfully use the four natural elements of fire, ice, darkness and thunder and cast powerful spells of destruction.The magic secrets that the descendants of the elementalists can practice all come from the original reprints written by Kramer.And because it is only a reprint, many magic rituals and rituals are lost forever due to the loss of the original secret tome, which has become an unforgettable regret in the hearts of countless magic scholars.

Back to the dragon species.The species combination of humans and giant dragons eventually gave birth to a life form completely different from the "ancient rock dragon" like Nisanks.Although they maintain the physical characteristics of giant dragons with extremely hard scales, thick and burly torsos and body shapes, and giant and strong wings that can help them soar into the sky, but because of the influence of the crystallization of elements in their mothers, they each control different elements. strength.The fire dragon "Odyssey" that spews lava and flames, the ice dragon "Ulrich" that whips up a icy cone storm when it flaps its wings, the dark dragon "Darkville" that flickers and leaps like an invisible shadow in space, and a flash of ice dragon "Ulrich" The brontosaurus "Sunders" that causes thunderclouds and lightning rolling like a natural disaster.

Under the command of these four giant dragons, no human rebel force dared to do anything less.Even the rudiment of the undead race, the nearly immortal ancient inhuman dark race called "Death Prayer", could not get closer to the "Dagon God Capital", the capital of the Ulu Dynasty.The sheltered human beings finally no longer have to rely on endless worship and belief in the gods of the heavens in exchange for mercy.They have a new king to follow -- "Dragon God" Nisanks.Nisanks has a heart of justice and clear rewards and punishments. He is full of enterprising spirit, and he is also ambitious to build the Ulu Dynasty, which spreads thousands of miles, into prosperity day by day.

But just as it is engraved on the stele.On the night when the sun and the moon changed and the stars moved, the Dragon King, Princess Kramer, and the four giant dragons who guarded the capital of Dagon suddenly fell into a deep sleep.No matter how devoutly the believers prayed and called for the return of the dragons, they never got any response.They fell into eternal sleep without warning in the grand hall of the Hall of Revelation in the capital of the gods.Court wizards believe that the Dragon King may have suffered from the "curse of death", a sorcery that strips the soul.But there is absolutely no way to deal with this kind of sorcery.

When the whole country was in chaos because the dragons had no leader, the "Crysasius" volunteered to go out to find a wise man who could wake up the Dragon King.The people are inspired by their courage—this group of brave men who are willing to face the "Death Prayer" will surely save the souls of the dragon and the princess.

However, something unexpected happened.

The "Crysasius" are back.What they bring is not light and salvation, but endless darkness and despair.

They brought with them an army of "Death Prayers" undead.Those hateful monsters invaded the god capital of Dagon and massacred them wantonly.The vast and magnificent city of gold. The brilliant masterpiece of mankind, the immortal legend, was completely destroyed at that moment. The pure gold palace and thousand-meter golden pagoda that gathered countless painstaking efforts and wealth, collapsed in the raging fire.The end of this mighty god capital is coming.

Coming together, of course, is the end of the priesthood of "Crysasius".Qin Wang's army rushed over quickly, and many knights with supernatural powers, mages and other God's Chosen rushed to support when they heard that Dagon had fallen.They learned about the betrayal of the "Crysasius" from the survivors.Dracula, the head of the Dragon Knights at the time, gave the order immediately.
He hunted down "Crysasius" all his life.Not one is spared.

It's just that such hatred can't change the tragic reality in the slightest.Dagon has fallen, and Dracula can only sink the Hall of Enlightenment where the Dragon King sleeps into the ground, looking forward to the awakening of this great sage in the future.

After that war of annihilating the country, human beings began to fight and fight for a long time.They began to shift their beliefs and began to worship the gods again, because they needed blessings from King Halwara, the god Higgs, and other gods to support their siege.And the "Death Predators" are constantly absorbing power from the corpses of the dead and expanding themselves. Under the curse, they are constantly evolving.

It is no accident that they appear in the form of "undead monsters" along with the natural disasters.No matter how much the human empire changes and iterates, the undead who appear as a form of disaster will never disappear completely.

Because as long as there are still disputes in the world, as long as there are people who can cover the sky with one hand to block the storm and maintain the eternal peace and immortality, they will continue to be rampant forever, and they will always exist in every corner of the darkness.

"So you understand? About the Dragon Emperor, about the four giant dragons, about the Death Reaver, and about the predecessor of the headhunter, Chrysasius."

Michel finished his reading.This great wise man who inherited almost all ancient knowledge, described the past of Dagon's fall in detail with great pain.Nowadays, people don't like to mention the Dragon God anymore. Perhaps it is because the golden age of the Ulu Dynasty is so beautiful that they always lament the misery of the world when they recall it.

The teenager couldn't describe his complicated mood, it was more like a piece of cheese that was trying to dip mayonnaise but found it expired.Time is advancing, urban construction and professional technology are improving, but why is life worse?The undead have not been contained but are constantly expanding the lord?Dragon Emperor. None of this would have happened if you were the ruler.

It's ironic to say the least.

"Although I don't understand why Chrysassius would rebel, but since Dracula said that, Chrysassius should become a plague-like profession that should be avoided. Then why did the inheritance of it appear? The job of headhunting will emerge enthusiastically in the face of natural disasters, and become the creed that everyone is chasing for a period of time? This is obviously inconsistent."

The boy pointed out with a wry smile.

"Perhaps this is a uniquely human weakness. That's what we are, isn't it? Pleading with Chrysassius when they need to step up to find a hero, and swearing at them when they don't. Facing each other, ridiculing their poverty and inferiority, and despising their academic achievements. The value of headhunting is too unstable, and most people in this world just use and squeeze out the value of others and then discard it at will. What do you expect from them?"

"Scandals about headhunting abound. And most of those scandals are fabricated out of thin air. Stealing legendary relics should be the specialty of thieves, but they put the responsibility on headhunting. Their excuses are watched and joked The masses and even the nobles turned a deaf ear to it. Years of prejudice, abuse and insults, coupled with the massive deaths of headhunters under the ravages of the undead. This profession has long since lost any need to pursue it. The day the professional guild withdrew the headhunting throne, I did not I feel so surprised.”

Even though he said these cold and cruel truths, Michelle still looked calm and peaceful.Strictly speaking, in his nearly 70 years of ups and downs, neither the grief of the past nor the darkness of reality can shake his emotions at all.After all, life is short for a hundred years, and there are not many things that are enough to change.

"They easily forgot about Riel's great achievements. If you still have the interest to meet the so-called emperor, maybe even if you mention her name, he will just be casual. Maybe everyone understands how important headhunting is. , but always habitually like to suppress these independent and self-reliant brave men, and habitually nod and comment on their non-academic wild ways. This is the same even in the golden age of the Ulu Dynasty. Lysassius are qualified to be consuls, and does Chrysassius have any political rights in non-catastrophic times? I think their rebellion may be because of this long-standing oppression."

The dead fog that filled the sky gradually dissipated.Due to the retreat of the Fallen Rick Sull, the scene in front of him became vast again.At the end of the long stone steps are two stone lions, and it is from their mouths that the water that has been dyed bright red spits out.Then walk from the stone lion through the piled dead bodies to the mining field, pass the logging center and the cast iron management hall, and you will be in the commercial area.There they'll find professional guilds, and the ruined and crumbling Hero's Tavern in the Streets of the Lost.

It's really like a dream.A very real dream.

"Actually, I don't really care about that. But it can be regarded as a solution to the confusion in my heart-the contempt and hostility of the people in Ao'an Town towards headhunters is actually a habit left over from the past. How can people's malice spread? The extent may be a difficult thing to speculate.”

"But I just want to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Senior Riel. I want to fulfill the unfulfilled dreams of the victims. If eradicating the Necropolis can really help us wipe out the undead completely, then suffering humiliation is absolutely nothing."

"I said it. Son. As long as humans exist, the undead cannot die. Reel also foresaw this."

"Who knows? Senior's ancient book still has many secrets that haven't been revealed. If we reveal all the secrets of these runes, maybe we can find a way."

The starry sky shone amber in the boy's eyes.

"I will revive the glory of the Ulu Dynasty. I will awaken the soul of Nisanks. If Senior Riel and you have foreseen this, then this must be the end of my destiny that I must fulfill."

At that moment, Michel saw the streamer of the dragon that had long since disappeared from humans.It was a badge of courage entrusted to the savior of the world by the dragon's soul.Dracula once enjoyed this kind of favor, but after the dragon god fell asleep, he lost the blessing of this kind of favor because of his obsession with conquering and killing his compatriots.But now, like the pure voice responding to such a prayer, amidst the faintly whispering dragon roar, the white light that is as moist as foam is finally absorbed by a brand new noble soul and will remain forever.

The so-called headhunters do not worship any gods, nor do they have to rely on the belief of any gods to survive.

They will actively attract the favor of the gods because of their courage and determination.They will serve as the speakers of the ancient and great will, feed on life, and bring stability, prosperity, and a distant future that will never die to the world.

Your prophecy is really being fulfilled step by step.A follower of the Dragon God, the Prophet Drikela.

Michelle smiled, stroking her drooping white beard.When this divine radiance reappears in the sky, it is the time when the world is on the right track and the hourglass is turned upside down.

Jeska, Jiri, and Delter all quietly listened to their conversation.They had already been overwhelmed by the shocking aura of the young man in front of them, and they had already cast aside all doubts about his abilities.And the boy's speech just now convinced them even more——

It is difficult and unimaginable to find the ruins of the golden city of Dagon and liberate the power of the dragon, but the boy has the courage to accept this task.The western continent, where lava and necropolises are full of corruption, almost no one dares to set foot.

But if he dares.Following unconditionally will be the only option.

The three of them were almost full of confidence and excited.In their eyes, an exciting epic journey will kick off under the command of the young man.

Unfortunately, death and parting are always inevitable in this world.

When it comes and goes freely, it will take away many unwilling souls of innocent people.

Destruction, with a flick of a finger.

Bones shattered, and limbs churned together like muddy flesh, hissing and rubbing together.Along with the wailing, what continued to fight were these rotten ghost corpses by the roadside.

The fog cleared.The fog in my heart filled again.
