The last headhunter

Chapter 48 Secret
Even though you can't see any expression on the knight under the pure gold helmet and armor, you can fully feel the change in attitude.

From coldness to enthusiasm, from contempt to admiration.The huge difference in identity makes people so philistine, changeable and cunning.

"It turns out to be the leader of the Flying Wing Knights. I'm sorry. The journey is tiring, please rest here for a while."

"No. There are still important things to deal with, so I'll leave soon. It's just that when I saw you from a distance, I was a little concerned about the man in black holding your sword."

Dusha sneered.

"I've never had the slightest interest in the wild dogs of the Adventurer's Association. Helping you out of trouble today is just out of respect for that heroic priest—he is your vice president, right?"

"It's just a pity that such a hero, with lofty beliefs and strength, is unwilling to serve the emperor at all. He even humiliated and abused the honor and loyalty of the royal knights. I know that our ideas are not compatible, but why bother?" Attacking each other? In this world, there are many people who live by different laws and standards."

"I only found out later that he was Jeska. In the battle in the jungle of despair, even if he spoke ill, his great achievements would be reported to the royal family. On the other hand, you small-minded villains, even the royal guards Make the so-called correct choice, and you will only continue to find faults. It's ridiculous."

"Is he from the Adventurer's Association?"

The knight in golden armor turned around and looked up and down at the skinny Manki.Indeed, judging from the appearance, the courier, who couldn't even afford to eat, looked a little tired from the long journey, and there was nothing wrong with the people of that force.

That being the case, it is not the enemy.

"That's right. But so what? When you rode away from countless villages that were slaughtered, did you feel a little bit of honor and disgrace in your heart at that moment? Obey the emperor's order-the emperor's words are true to you Is it indisputable? Is it really irresistible?"

The eyes of Manqi and Dusha blend and fight without fear.

"The Adventurer's Association is composed of an unimaginable number of wanderers who fled in a hurry due to the destruction of their hometown. And these wanderers are not just given by the Royal Guard? You don't care about the life and death of those poor people at all, and you don't want to impose No help at all. Even with excellent equipment and superb skills, you only want to increase the number of killings in the world. Have you ever thought that at this moment, you are also stained with the blood of countless innocent people?"

"As I said, our beliefs are different. Wanderers. We have only one task, to maintain the peace of the royal family as much as possible, and to eliminate any uncertain factors that threaten the emperor. So don't use this logic to carry out so-called There's no point in moral bashing."

Dusha averted his gaze.He didn't want to talk nonsense with this scumbag who couldn't even restrain his emotions.The Adventurers Association has done almost everything in the struggle against the Royal Guard.They stole noble treasures, plundered the arsenal to steal excellent reserves, and even plundered the food of the territory guards directly from the granary, causing them to suffer from hunger and cold.

These people have justice in mind, but they have almost no means to achieve their goals.Is there any difference between this style and habits and what the Royal Knights do?Or rather—even worse than them.

"I don't care what purpose you come to the foot of the golden tree - this noble Lipani. But if you dare to touch the slightest bit of this city, I will chop you up like ugly undead dog, and hang your head on the city wall for public display. Remember it for me."

"We will never be able to stand on the same front, stupid, poor, but self-righteous group of low-level adventurers, what qualifications do they have to make such clamor?"

He led the troops away, cold and angry.Indeed, they have reasons to be proud—wealth, status, being fed every day.It is also extremely rare to be dispatched to the field, and it is not necessary to run around every day.The cities and towns where I live are also important military and cultural towns, which are relatively safe, so how can I know the pain of those displaced people?
After all, it is difficult for people to understand each other - different situations, different pasts, and even more different dreams.Many people may only want to live in troubled times, and many people may have high aspirations, running towards the dream of becoming a ruler to rejuvenate the country and Anbang. Very few people will have the dream of suppressing the undead, but the whimsical dream of uniting heroes to save the world Or maybe only the unnamed boy.It is strange to say that the noble knights from rich and noble families only want to maintain the stability of the Luoan regime, while many poor and low-level adventurers, who are loyal to the Adventurers Association, are always committed to changing the living conditions of the working people.

Such a strange fallacy is always repeated in the change of countless dynasties.

The ten noble knights left one by one in front of them in an orderly manner.This should not have been the focus of attention.Perhaps in the face of the vice-chairman, he can help out, so the head of the group has a bit of conscience.And the master of the mysterious element behind them, the hero named Sariel, just took a quick glance at himself and then drifted away. It seems that his heart must be towards the royal family. Although it is regrettable, it is not worth repeating. To observe and think.

What should be paid more attention to is the certain kind of "group" that can't be distinguished even with eagle eyes.

You could sense something lurking in the surrounding bushes, some kind of block in the shadows.Most of the time, the cube is still, but at a certain moment, it will teleport to other positions.

It is as if some flickering black dots are gathered together, and one can feel the obvious sense of disobedience in the three-dimensional sight, but it is still impossible to figure out the reason.

Not to mention the "feel".I don’t feel anything at all—if ordinary stalker assassins will attract killing intent that cannot be concealed, then this is even more exaggerated than Kursk, who can directly shrink himself into a flat state in the two-dimensional world, it is simply unimaginable ah.

Probably not.
Manqi even had lingering fears.He was thinking nervously and worriedly.It wasn't until the Golden Armored Knight patted him on the shoulder "politely" that he recovered from the shock——

"Hey what are you doing?"

"I wanted to ask what you were doing. You were just staring at a place where no one was there. Are you scared out of your wits by being with the Royal Knights?"

As soon as the knight changed his previous seriousness, he started to play around and laugh.The moment he took off his helmet, Manci just realized.

That thick male voice was just some kind of disguise, but what appeared in front of him was a handsome young man with capable short black hair.His eyes were piercing, his skin was fair and clean, and there were two or three inconspicuous scars engraved on the left and right sides of his thin chin, and his contagious gentle smile was even brighter in the sunlight.

It's amazing
"Let me re-introduce myself. The middle-level paladin, Yisha Derek of the Yisha family, is here to welcome the friends of the Adventurer's Association - we have not seen His Royal Highness Jeska for a long time! I really miss you Presumably, you also came with His Highness's order!"

"I'm sorry to draw my sword at you before. I was patrolling outside the city by my father's order. You also know that since the town of Oan fell and was polluted as a necropolis, including the town of Risok, and our Lipani in Everyone in the other towns in the city is in danger, and all of them have greatly strengthened their defenses. There are several defenders stationed outside Guangcheng. You may not have noticed as you rushed all the way-but at this moment, the seven soldiers set up every 15 miles The outpost has been watching the movements of the undead for early warning."

"But they didn't report your visit to the city. This is very surprising. Because according to the current regulations, all visitors must be included in the scope of the report. When the sentinels on shift come back, I will definitely ask them face to face."

"In short, I am very sorry to have caused you a lot of inconvenience."

"It's okay. To be honest, it's also the first time I've dealt with people in the city. I didn't expect you to be so 'enthusiasm' and 'simple folk customs'. The Yisha family is worthy of being a direct lineage inherited from Duke William, brave and aggressive."

Manqi smiled wryly, and patted the remaining ash on the cloak.

"There is indeed an urgent mission here this time. The time is very tight, so I won't exchange more pleasantries. You know about the fall of Ao'an, right?"

"That's right. The sentinels of Oran's tragedy have already reported back. The corpses of the dead and wounded are strewn across the field, and the professional guilds and town center coefficients have fallen. It is said that the executive officers are all killed. There are many refugees, but few can escape from the forest of despair. We even confiscated them." Not to hear any distress calls from Auan. Such a big town fell like this. It's a pity."

"The sentry also discovered that an epic battle broke out in the jungle of despair. Although it was impossible to get close to it, the meteorite that fell from the sky, which resembled a natural disaster, and the miraculous appearance of the eight-winged angel are enough to prove that a fierce battle between the strong Stunning battle. Who caused it - unimaginable."

His smile disappeared, replaced by sadness and pain.Manqi finally understood that although the young man in front of him was distinguished and came from a noble family, he was actually a comrade who agreed with the Creed of the Adventurers Association, sympathized with the weak and was willing to save them.He also has noble ambitions and sentiments.

Therefore, it may be a trustworthy person who can entrust the purpose.

"It's a pity that I didn't get to know you before. Maybe... you can help us. The Adventurer's Association urgently needs something to save the remains of Oran. This will play a vital role in the reconstruction and recovery of Oran effect."

"What...has such an effect?"

Derek frowned and thought, but suddenly realized in the next second:
"You mean, you mean—you need the Golden Seeds? The Refilia Church—"

"Exactly. His Highness Jeska is now in the infected town of Oan. He ordered me to come here and recruit a brave priest to carry the golden seed to Oan."

"Is it really an order from His Highness? If it is the plan of that wise man, it should not be."

"I have no reason to deceive you. It is true."

Manci's and Derek's eyes meet.The two people who have never met each other sincerely confide in each other, but they always feel that each other has secrets hidden in them.This world is weird and strange, many facts and truths cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and many difficult decisions must be made in an instant.

Life and death, good and evil, redemption and destruction.Isha Derek, the chief heir of the earl family, a rich man who is nearly 25 years old but has already put on the golden armor, and a super talented paladin, at this moment, is facing perhaps the most thoughtful question in his life. choice.

This ambitious young man has always wanted to get rid of the influence and shackles of his family background.If he can achieve his own career, then he will not be slandered as a waste who "lives from his father".And the bright future of the Yisha family will also be created in his hands.The current situation is indeed an excellent opportunity——

However, is there really a need to believe this middle-aged "exile" who is restless, agitated and uneasy in front of him——

"Tell me a reason why you convinced me. What did you experience with Your Highness Jeska in Ao'an?"

"I'm sorry that I really didn't experience any decent battles. The battle against the mutants and polluters may not impress you."

"But I can tell you one thing, only the facts you know."

Manche looked up.

"In the battle in the jungle of despair, I know who fought against the undead creatures."

"Who?"

Derek held his breath.This is the secret he has always wanted to know - if he can solve it!
"His Royal Highness Jeska, Elemental Master Sariel, Master Carpenter Michelle, and"

"A great headhunter. A teenager younger than you."

"He is the successor of His Royal Highness Riel. A new hero."
