The last headhunter

Chapter 61
younger sister.haven't seen you for a long time.How are you doing recently?

The night at the observatory is really cold.This towering spire stands under the stars. Whenever the biting cold wind rages around me, I will feel a burst of loneliness and loneliness that is difficult to resolve.

Hiding here is not easy.I really long for that kind of life - riding a war horse, rushing to the battlefield, conquering the dirty and ugly imperial city of Luo'an, and personally killing that dog emperor who does all kinds of evil and lawlessness.

But my charisma is far from enough.The adventurer alliance I supported is far from enough to pose a threat to professional guilds.

So I must continue to endure.Continue to endure here until there is a turning point in fate.

And just yesterday, this turning point appeared.

When I carried out the routine and came to the observatory to perform astrology, thinking that there was nothing unusual tonight, a strange phenomenon happened in the sky.

First of all, the astrological arrangement of the Nanheng star, deviant star, and celestial star located in the northeast has changed from a triangular shape to a straight line shape.This means that the "regular and reasonable state" is broken.

Immediately afterwards, the three giant stars Zilingxing, Zhaohuanxing and Yinsuixing disappeared from the sky, and the large starry sky they originally occupied was replaced by many little-known little stars.This means that people or existences that previously occupied an important position will be banned by a sea of ​​"little people".

Finally, a shooting star pierced the night sky.The shining stars are like arrows leaving the string, wrapped in a brilliant tail, falling towards a certain corner of the Luo'an continent.The meteor phenomenon that has not been observed in the past hundred years has appeared before my eyes.

I believe it's destiny's guide.As I watched it swaying and disappearing before my eyes with its final ripples, my heart was full of excitement, joy and anticipation.I knew the opportunity I had been waiting for so long had finally arrived.

The current order is broken, the resignation of those who control everything, and the explosion of new stars.Some power that vows to break through everything will surely replace the dead bones in the tomb that have already decayed, thus bringing a new look to this world.

This is the general trend, sister.This is also the truth that we must strive to perceive and discover.The god who leads all has sent his will.He is commanding us to follow the tide of fate and seek out the One who may guide it all.

I believe that he will allow the League of Adventurers to get rid of the control of the empire, continue to develop, overthrow the mighty emperor, and create a new dynasty.

Sister, I don't know what the situation outside is like, but I will continue to stick to my post and try not to cause you any trouble.It is impossible for astrology to explain and predict everything, let alone see clearly the sufferings of the people.

Everything about the League of Adventurers is at your service.

Wilsa Rowling wraps up her reading of memories.The sister's gentle and earnest words with a touch of sadness still linger in her heart for a long time.

She understood the meaning of her sister's words.Living in that cold place for a long time, although she couldn't get involved in any major events in the world, she was always focused on it, waiting for opportunities.And judging from the astrology she interpreted, something big has indeed happened.

But the meaning conveyed by the astrology is too abstract after all: the important person is banned, who is the important person?Who should be the one who banned him?
The situation no longer allowed her much time to think.Paladin and Kursk, one good and one evil, are waiting for her to make a decision.

So, when Rowling regained her spirits a bit, she found herself being watched quietly by two eyes.The cold and playful gaze and the upright gaze converged like this.

"What happened? What did you see from the precious prophecy?"

"The demise of the empire? The destruction of Holy Tree Town? Or are you people crying and screaming in despair when facing death?"

"What nonsense...? Kursk is nothing but ridicule? The undead are so rampant, and you guys do nothing?"

Facing De Leago's jokes and provocations, Derek, who was upright, accused him angrily.

"Why do you want to do it? It's you who will die then, not me. I'm only responsible for bringing our God's will to the world. If you believe in it, you can live. If you don't believe it, you can only wait for death obediently."

"So, you expect such a concept to convince the people? Do you think such a concept will convince the knights, nobles and the people in Lipani to believe your unrealistic lies? What a dream!"

"Hmph."

De Leago laughed out of anger.The young paladin's generous and righteous accusations only struck him as childish.Where does the passion come from in troubled times?Can a passion for blood help them gain a foothold here?
Only the selfish can win.Only the Slayer can win a cruel war.Only the violent can be king.

Higgs is such a god.He also relied on those qualities to open up his own world in the cruel night sanctuary.

God's things, what do you know?
"I don't want to argue with you anymore, noble paladin. I just came here to tell you that you have to obey, and you have to obey if you don't obey. Either fall under the protection of Higgs' faith, or face The overwhelming offensive of the undead, died tragically in your faith, was resurrected, and continued to fight for the undead."

"Listen, I will never obey the orders of your evil mad god of the damned—you Kursk all along—"

"Okay! Stop arguing!"

Wilsa Rowling could no longer stand their endless bickering.Standing up from the throne at once.The long silk skirt dragged across the ground.She took a deep breath of cold air, which also made her mind clearer.

Of course she understood Kursk's strength, if he wanted to, it would not be difficult to kill everyone here.And he kept silent, not because he was very patient, but because he didn't want to argue with Derek for the sake of their gods.He also gave himself enough face and handed over the decision-making power to himself.

But she also understands Drake's position.Drake is the youngest Lord of the Sacred Tree Town of Lippany and the future heir of Opicris Fort in Lippany.He is upright, decisive, loyal and kind, and there will never be a day when he will succumb to a cold and ruthless evil god, abandon his people and surrender voluntarily.But if he does that, he will definitely lose popular support.

If you offend Kursk, you will be killed, and you will lose your life.Offending Drake is likely to stand on the opposite side of the Duke and lose control of the magic library.This is a dilemma.

But fortunately, with her sister's astrological guidance, Wilsa Rowling's heart is not so chaotic.

She made a decision.Bet all your bets on one person.

"I have made up my mind. Drake, and Deleago. Everything in the world is not as important as life. If fairness, justice, morality, and wealth are destroyed, there will be nothing."

When these words were spoken, De Leago had a smile on his face—he knew that he would win.Convincing the great magister was effortless.It's easy to communicate with smart people.

In his mind, he has already begun to figure out how to start operating Higgs' belief network with Lipani as the center.

However, what she said next made De Leago's smile melt a little bit.

"So... if we are facing an unprecedented crisis, if the entire Lipani is under the threat of force from the undead, we must make adequate preparations. Lipani has always been isolated and does not belong to the management of the empire , it is impossible to apply for support from the empire.”

"We must rely on mercenaries, as well as neutral organizations such as the Adventurer Alliance to provide support for our city defense. This is what we used to do. But it may not be enough now. We need fresh blood."

"The astrologer has observed everything from the astrology - the ups and downs of everything, the twists and turns of fate. A brilliant shooting star across the sky means that the rising hero is gradually exerting strength. This hero, who inherited The cursed profession, as a headhunter, wanders through this terrifying and distorted world, facing countless difficulties and dangers, but still bravely explores forward.”

"We need his assistance. We need him to help Lipani defend against any invasion."

She moved her gaze to De Leago's face.At this moment, he has completely restrained the complacency of planning, and the coldness, violence and cunning in his eyes are exuding a chilling and fierce light.

"We don't need foreign gods. We don't need to arm ourselves with faith. Lipani has a golden tree. Even if the world regime changes and the situation changes so much, the golden tree will never die. We guard it and we will So tenacious."

"It's not a smart decision, I would say."

De Leago muttered, but his hand lightly touched the poisoned throwing knife behind his waist.

"Surrender to Higgs, or die. It's been like this since ancient times."

A smear of green light shot out from the shadows, which was the flame wave produced by the undead's evil fire attached to the scimitar.And it is stabbing towards Wilsa Rowling's throat quickly!
If successful, the enchanted poisonous blade will quickly corrupt the stupid Grand Magister into a mummified corpse.

However, there is more than one strong man named Dleagu in this hall.

The giant shield unfolded.The quick-sighted paladin jumped in front of Rowling, pushed the huge shield forward vigorously, and shattered the flying knife.

"The play is over? Kursk. You should have done it long ago. If you had done it earlier, you wouldn't need to talk so much nonsense with you."

Drake gritted his teeth and cursed coldly.Immediately, a loud shout surged out from his throat like a shocking bell.

"Where is the Knights? Arrest the criminals! Execute immediately!"

Outside the door, hundreds of mid-level golden armored knights marched into the hall in an orderly manner.
