The last headhunter

Chapter 5 Intermediate Knight Mar
Before the boy recovered from the shock, the soldier uncle had rushed to his side.His armor stomped on the cracked ground, stirring up another burst of dust.

"Where is that mage?"

"Young man, let me ask you, where is that mage? Why is he missing? Who is he?"

The young man was silent.He didn't know how to answer the senior's question.Of course, he can proudly say that he, a fledgling headhunter, has easily recruited a top mage—Sariel Warhammer who has advanced to the form of an elementalist, so as to win a great reputation.But what the old man hoped for was not his own reappearance in the world.

He talked about trials, and he said that if you want to follow in the footsteps of Reel, there will never be so many futures that will flow smoothly.If you always rely on the assistance of others to make your way to the top, then you will be just a useless shell in the end.

Becoming cunning, becoming lazy, and becoming a secular boy absolutely does not want to bear that kind of result.If you can solve things by yourself, if you can grow through suffering, then everything is just a blessing.

So, after thinking for a long time, the boy just spit out such a sentence lightly.

"It's just an ordinary mage who doesn't want to leave his name."

"Cut it off—ordinary mage? Your jokes are worse than the limericks of street thugs!"

The warrior was almost outraged at the boy's concealment.

"Don't think I don't know what the monster that devoured the Lord of Fire is. It's the Flame Whisperer! A tenth-level elemental creature can only practice the fire element summoning spell to the highest level, and cooperate with the long-lost "Elemental Soul" It is only possible to comprehend the entire Luoan Kingdom successfully with the magic book, and it is possible that only in the royal family can one find a mage who is qualified to learn—let alone proficient.”

"And the old man who was by your side just now summoned him easily. This is a discovery that shocked the entire Luo'an continent! It's more likely that he is Li'an's personal disciple—such an ultimate magic Form, the mastery of the elements Elementalist? Or even a great magister? No, I don’t dare to think about it at all.”

"Grand Magister, what is that?"

"The great magister is the ultimate form of an elementalist, and also the strongest elementalist who has comprehended the elements to the ultimate level. I never dreamed that your first recruitment as a headhunter turned out to be an unrivaled hero?"

The uncontrollable excitement and joy were evident on his face.He patted the boy's shoulder excitedly, and the original disdain in his eyes was gradually replaced by respect and appreciation.

And the young man sighed when he thought of what he had indifferently sighed at the beginning, "People don't believe in heroes long ago".

In fact, no matter who they are, they all look forward to heroes.When the eternal night is approaching, and every minute and every second when people are dying and everything is silent, people will hope that someone can change this situation and control this seemingly one-sided attack of despair.

That person is a hero.With him, you don't have to be afraid of anything.

It is true that the dream of a teenager is to give hope to these sparks who are still fighting.But when the young man witnessed Sariel's unrestrained and magnanimous walk away after completing the task, he understood again——

Heroes also have their own choices.He will only be there when needed.And he will leave when he doesn't need it.

This is why there are always many, nameless legends.

"I took the liberty before, boy. I apologize to you. Indeed, I failed to discover your potential. You have admirable courage, courage, courage, and ability. People who can get along with heroes are by no means normal person."

His expression became serious, he suddenly straightened his waist and looked ahead, and drew out the long-handled sword in his hand and placed it straight in front of him.

"I salute you, respected headhunter!"

He bent down and bowed to the boy at a 90-degree angle with standard aristocratic etiquette.But the thunderclouds in the distance gradually disappeared, and a ray of setting sun appeared from the end of the black sky.

This scene is something that the young man will never forget.

The boy didn't tell him the true identity of the Whitebeard mage, but he still told the knight with almost certainty that the hero just helped out of interest, not because he had any special talents.As a headhunter who has just entered the industry, he doesn't have the ability to persuade heroes to work for him.

And the uncle finally had nothing to do with him, even though he really wanted to believe that the boy in front of him was the reincarnation of Riel, but because the young man was too self-effacing, he could only half-believe and put this question behind him.

The two of them walked together to Ao'an Town.At this time, the young man realized that the forest path stretching vertically and horizontally in the distance was nearly ten miles away.And the rapid galloping before may have been as fast as lightning with the help of Sariel.

"What's going on in this world?"

The young man thought for a long time before gently throwing out such a sentence.The green forest in front of me was not stained with dead ash, but it had nothing to do with the dilapidated and withered forest I saw before.

"As you can see, the forest near Oran Town has been lush and lush for ten years. The citizens have always believed that there are gods protecting this land. After all, the invincible dreadlord Artorius was dead Under this city wall. His corpse was turned into nutrients, restoring the vitality of all animals and plants within a radius of [-] miles. Since then, the ecological environment of Ao'an Town has been very good, and it must be related to the heroes who participated in that war Bar."

"What about you? Were you involved in that epic battle?"

"Me? At that time, I was still very weak. Of course, this does not mean how powerful I am now."

The knight smiled wryly and began to recall.

"That was the story after I first joined the professional guild, accepted the trial, received the qualification certificate, and took the oath to become a mercenary. The equipment allocated by the guild was poor, because as a junior knight, I hadn't yet comprehended how to become a mercenary. Aegis, a skill that can protect teammates, can only hunt undead alone if no one forms a team. The efficiency is very low, and sometimes even one mercenary order cannot be completed in a day."

"So you want someone like me to participate in such an epic battle, it's nothing more than a dream. What's even more shameful is that I don't participate in the battle, and I often snatch some equipment or Luoan coins from the relics of the victims. Come to satisfy my extravagant desire to climb up the wealth and combat power class."

"I also want to be a hero. However, I always hope to achieve that state through shortcuts. Speaking of it, it is really a very regrettable thing."

"But you saved me who just came out of the village. I was almost skinned alive by a flesh and blood puppet."

"But I was just atoning for my cowardice and greed. Growth... always needs a price."

"Glasius, the ancestor of the war cavalry, combined the dual professions of warrior and knight, and the leader of the final realm. His sacrifice to himself attracted the light of recovery. In the battle to defend the royal city, tens of thousands of people were resurrected A warrior. In exchange, his soul disappeared without a trace, drifting to an unknown distance.”

"This is the awakening of Glacius, the price he understands. But I, as his loyal follower, can't do anything at all."

"Until now, do you still think I am worthy of admiration?"

The uncle took off his helmet, but his eyes were blurred and he looked at Ao'an Town, where the gate was closed.He remembered the bloody catastrophe that happened here, and of course he also remembered his unbearable and weak.

The teenager couldn't describe his mood in words.In this chaotic era, there are too many people of all kinds.After all, no one can know what is hidden in the heart of the smiling people around them, and what kind of unknown past events they all hide.Calculations, intrigue, these elements and links may be things that he must experience in the future.

"It's here. This may be your legendary first stop."

The breeze lifted gently.The uncle had a scar on his face that had experienced many vicissitudes of life, he cleared his throat, but he uttered such a sentence.

"Luan Kingdom professional guild certification, intermediate knight, Mar. Apply to enter the city!"

The door that had been closed before was quickly opened.The two guards who had shut the door to the boy before came forward with a smile.

"Mr. Mar, and this servant——welcome to the city of Oan. Do you need a glass of kumiss?"

"It's free! Absolutely free! I guarantee that you won't be charged a penny. The premise is that you take a look at this week's reward order—"

"He's not a follower."

Mal handed the helmet to the nodding guard executive, and smiled at the boy with a calm face.

"He's an honorable, headhunter."
