The last headhunter

Chapter 64 Contradictions
What exactly does Higgs need?This point, the boy himself couldn't figure it out.

He had indeed deceived the boy, on the surface he was helping, but in fact he was converting the boy's partner into a believer.

But what can two or three believers do?The Kingdom of Luo'an is no longer a paradise for the gods.It is difficult for Higgs to rebuild the glory that once belonged to him based on two or three people.What's more, he still needs to face the intervention of the undead, and the destructive army of the undead will bulldoze his temple.

Such a betrayal can't bring anything at all. It may be enough to consume all energy to help the boy, Michelle and Jeska reach the Tower of Creation.What Kursters can do is, after all, limited.

King Higgs. What is your purpose?
The boy thought of his encounter with him.The king hunched over and walked with bitter and desolate sadness in his heart.

Even though the true face has been exposed, the young man can't hate him anyway.Young people always feel that this king has his own reasons for being evil.He can find a way to excuse himself.

He had to ask the Kursters for clarification, and ask De Leago for clarification.

This determines the stance of the Boys and the Higgs camp.

"Lucivir, Ishaan."

The boy walked slowly in front of them.

"The road is clear. We can move on. But I have not seen De Leago. Where is he?"

【Brother has some things to do, so he told us to wait here.If you can't wait for him to move on on his own, the two of us will be enough to assist you. 】

It was the relatively thin Yisha who answered.His attitude towards the boy is not as indifferent as the two elder brothers.

[No undead will be our opponents.This point is certain.Even if we are the servants of the professional god-slaying traitor, that level can't hurt us in the slightest. 】

【unless.】

"Unless what?"

Just as Yisha was about to speak, he noticed the opening of a crack in space.A thin, wide and long black shadow, like ghosts and gods, quietly walked out from the crack.

【Great pioneer. You are back. 】

Following his voice, the gloomy man in black robe was indeed standing in front of him.He left without anyone noticing for so long, but came back suddenly without saying a word.

Obviously, there must be some secret hidden in him.

"De Leago. You—"

[I am not leaving without saying goodbye, young headhunter.Instead, I was teleported by force. 】

De Leago shook his head and began to narrate slowly.

[Sacred Tree Town Lipani did not reject my host, that is, poor Colin Manche.They see the whole battle as some sort of test.If you survive this desperate battle, Lipani will recognize your strength and bring Colin Manki back to the Great Library of Magic. 】

[At that time, Willsa Rowling will bring the victor to the Duke of Korisha, and after obtaining the Duke's approval, she will be given the golden seed enshrined in the Holy Church.That is what you are after. 】

【We can use the golden seeds to purify the corruption in Ao'an Town.Lipani, proud as he is, has not deserted any of you.Maybe they recognize your status as a headhunter. Stupid, but righteous. 】

I see.That's not Lipani's negation and Lipani's trap.It was a test of their prudence.Colin Manche, Delter and Giri all thought they were being lied to and abandoned, but it turned out to be just some kind of stereotype and misunderstanding.
If they can try their best to win, if they can maintain their firm and persistent will, if the teenagers don't open the headhunting book and ask Higgs for help.
Then nothing will happen.The believers of Higgs will not come, the souls of the companions will not be deprived, and the golden seed can be obtained smoothly.

But now
The boy sighed remorsefully, regretting his original decision and his confidant to Higgs.

But there is no choice left.Now, there is only one way to go to the dark.

Fortunately, according to Dleagu, the golden seed will be given to the victor.Then he who has come back from the end must have already got this holy object.

"Then, what about the golden seed? Although the status quo is irreversible, at least the golden seed can be obtained."

"The next step is to complete the purification, and my mission will be completed. It can be regarded as worthy of those who died innocently."

【Sorry, young man.The golden seed was not obtained. 】

A deep and strange light flashed in Dleagu's eyes.

"What? Didn't you say that Lipani promised to—"

[They did agree.But after they knew what happened, they made demands on you. 】

[The power of the god Higgs was awakened by you.The God Realm also exerted such a huge influence on the Human Realm through you.In the final analysis, the biggest contributor to the easy victory of this battle is not Kurster, but you, the young headhunter. 】

[They need to meet the heirs of the ancient profession of headhunting.They need to see what a little headhunter who claims to be approved by the great forerunner "Reel" can do. 】

[Only after they think that you really have the ability and responsibility to purify Ao'an's infection, they will give you the golden seed with confidence.So maybe you need to come to Lipani with us. 】

I see.It's really too cautious.You have to see me before you are willing to give me golden seeds like a beggar. Obviously this thing is not very precious to them, and nearly five seeds can be born in a day.

They are just doing it for face and dignity.They have always looked down on all living beings with noble and incomparable arrogance.This is also the reason why Lipani Sacred Tree Town neither obeys the empire nor remains neutral to the Adventurers Alliance.

But there is no way. Since they have made such a request, they can only listen to them.

but--

The boy frowned.

"We have almost entered the main city. The outline of the Tower of Creation is clearly visible. We have gone through several difficult battles to get here. Once we evacuate, our previous efforts may be wasted."

"This place will soon be filled with monsters and corpses again. The undead are like wildfire. They continue to spread like crazy. Not to mention Rick Shull is still watching."

"Go to Lipani if ​​he asks. Do we have to go through all the hard fighting again? Go through another bloodbath? How many variables are involved, how much danger is involved. How much does she know?"

[It's pointless to worry about these things now, headhunter. 】

De Leago replied coldly.

[If you want to get the golden seed and purify the city of O'an, you must go to Lipani.Any attempt to refuse or negotiate an excuse will be regarded by Wilsa Rowling as a kind of contempt, leading to the breakdown of cooperation. 】

[Have you ever had the slightest right to choose?Your past has never been held hostage like this. 】

"Why do I have to go in person? Can't Jessica? Can't Michelle? Can't you three?"

【I already said that.You are a headhunter.You are the heart of the team.All of us have to revolve around you. 】

【You are protected by all of us.But also because of this, you have to take on a heavier duty than anyone—]

[Win Lipani's trust. 】

"Is Lipani's lack of trust really because of the teenager?"

Jeska walked up to Dleagu and stared at him fiercely.

"A follower of Higgs. Apart from being worshiped by assassins, Higgs is not recognized by any other profession. His belief power is also the lowest among all professions."

"Wilsa Rowling wanted to send Coleman Green there, but found that it was a Kurster who came to her hall. Heh, if I were her, I wouldn't believe in a group of lawless people at all, A lunatic who committed heinous crimes!"

"The reason for the distrust is yours, isn't it? De Leago! What did you do in Lipani? Is the message you sent friendly or hostile?"

[It's not for you to speak.humble priest.You are as disgusting and mean as that stinking King Halwara! 】

A gust of cold air suddenly began to sweep over, and Deliagu's aura was fully activated, standing awe-inspiring in the shadow of the rainy clouds, letting the black robe flutter and flutter in the cold wind.

Suddenly, a long knife soaked in a deep black shadow, accompanied by a little scarlet, had already condensed in his hand.

【You will only disgust me.That despicable smell of the Light on you is like a rat in the gutter.King Halwara's corrupt throne should have been shattered long ago!What face do you have to shout here like you did just now? 】

[If you want to die, the blade of the underworld can engulf and obliterate your dirty soul at any time. 】

"King Halwara is not afraid of any gods, let alone a lost dog who only knows deception and betrayal?"

Jieshika showed no sign of fear, but instead pressed forward step by step.

And the juvenile headhunter also knew that the matter had come to this point, and there was no need to argue about this kind of conflict.

Internal chaos and disintegration are always the most important reasons for the collapse of a fortress.

"Stop arguing. Stop it all. I understand."

"I'll listen to you. De Leago. I'll go to Lipani."

"Although there are many doubts, and although I don't know the true purpose of that god, I have no choice. I don't want to see divisions and fights within our team when disasters are imminent."

"Higgs won this time. His arrangement is indeed efficient and scientific. We are all counted in."

"After going through so many heart-stirring events, they finally returned to the starting point. Manchi and the others must be so sad."

"Perhaps...they who learned the truth will never forgive my decision."

Sighing like this, the boy staggered away from the crowd and began to walk down the stairs step by step.

There was still scarlet blood on the stairs.

Everyone fell silent.They watched the young man walking away alone, but they didn't keep up.

They just kept silent.
