Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

The Hunter Association's airship arrived above the palace at around 4 a.m. and slowly landed in an open space.

The personnel arranged by Qiduo got off the airship and quickly came to President Netero to ask for the latest instructions.

Netero first asked them to settle Bizefu and the woman who regained her freedom, and then asked them to collect the chimera ant eggs and chimera ant corpses.

Among them, the chimera ant corpses of course included the ant king and the three guards, but they were not very complete, so it would be quite troublesome to collect them.

After rescue, Xiutuo was out of danger, but he was still in a coma and was now transferred to the ward on the airship.

Everyone then boarded the airship and rested in their assigned rooms.

Until this time, the chimera ants had not made a final decision on the three futures proposed by Netero and Germain.

This may very well be the choice that determines the rest of their lives, so they must be careful.

They were so troubled that they tossed and turned in bed, and finally they fell asleep due to fatigue.

A few hours later at noon, the airship where Germain, Netero and others were located took off first and left here.

The aftermath personnel still stayed in the Republic of East Gotuo, moving between the royal palace, the capital, and major cities to perform their duties.

The airship flew towards the headquarters of the Hunter Association, and was slowly advancing in the air at this time.

The celebration banquet for the Chimera Ant Crusade will be held at the headquarters of the Hunter Association.

Germain didn't want to attend at first, and just wanted to return to Greed Island as soon as possible, but he was forced to go by Mo Laowu and Nakulu.

He is a very purposeful person. Since the main purpose of this trip has been achieved, he is not interested in other things.

However, Mo Laowu, Nakulu and others are trying their best to persuade him to attend.

The biggest contributor is not here, and only they are here. Wouldn't the celebration banquet become a joke?

In addition, Netero had something to say to him, so he kept him.

That night, Xiutuo woke up from his coma, which made everyone very happy and delighted.

The first thing he did after waking up was to ask about the result of the Chimera Ants’ final battle.

However, he could guess from the dancing Nakuru, Mereon, and Ikarugo that the Chimera Ants’ team had won.

But what would the price be?

Xiutuo didn’t dare to think about it. It must have been tragic. He only hated that he was not strong enough and fell down in the middle of the battle, and he couldn’t help much.

However, the subsequent situation that everyone told him surprised him.

Neferpitou was killed by Germain?

Yupi was killed by Germain?

Owl Yapofu was killed by Germain?

Meruem was also killed by Germain?

Although Pom was transformed into a Chimera Ant, his human consciousness was recovered?

In this decisive battle, no members of the Chimera Ants’ team died?

This... This is not just a simple victory, this is a great victory.

They actually won a great victory against monsters like Chimera Ants?

For a time, Xiu Tuo thought that he had heard wrongly or was still in a coma. It was not until Netero, Mo Laowu and Nobu confirmed it that he confirmed this fact.

They couldn't possibly join forces to play this joke, could they?

Then, he looked at Germain, who had created this miraculous night.

Xiu Tuo stammered for a while, but didn't know what to say.

When he remembered his despair when facing Yupi and his unwillingness to be despised by Yupi, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Those were tears of joy.

"German... I... I don't know what to say... I..."

The doctor spoke for both his duty and to smooth things over for Xiu Tuo.

"Okay, everyone go out. The visiting hours are over. Let Xiu Tuo rest well next."

The doctor asked everyone to leave the ward and give Xiu Tuo a quiet environment to recover from his injuries.

Even though Xiu Tuo is a Psychic, his physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

But his injuries were caused by monsters like Yupi after all, so it would be better for him to rest for a while.

Everyone understood, said goodbye to Xiu Tuo one after another, and walked out of the ward one by one.

Late at night, Netero took the initiative to call Germain and came to the deck of the airship.

There was no one around, it was quiet, and was completely swallowed by the night.

Netero had changed into his usual robe at this time, and the wide sleeves fluttered in the night wind.

Germain also changed into a simple outfit, finally no longer having to be topless.

Netero stepped on wooden clogs and walked to the edge of the deck. There were rolling clouds above his head, as if he could touch them with just a stretch of his hand.

"German, do you know what I kept you here to say?"

Germain guessed it almost right.

"It should be about the Dark Continent? You have mentioned everything, only this one thing you haven't said yet."

Netero smiled and nodded, stroking his beard.

"We were also on the airship on the day the professional hunter exam ended this year. At that time, I had a hunch that something was wrong with you."

"After that, I started investigating you, Bisiji and Yun Gu, and slowly got a lot of clues. Putting them together, I came to an astonishing conclusion."

"Because of this conclusion, I was in a dilemma."

"Not allowing exploration of the Dark Continent is a rule I set in the Hunter Association. As the president, I should deal with you."

"However, the incredible thing that you can travel to and from the Dark Continent at will and safely makes me hesitate again."

"Could this be an opportunity for mankind to gain "hope"? "

"Subsequently, my son Biyangde also noticed your existence. I knew that he would forcefully attack you if he couldn't suppress you, so I gave Jin some clues."

"However, I facilitated the gathering of you bold people, and gold is your final piece of the puzzle."

"I can't tell clearly whether I did it unintentionally or if I was expecting something."

“As a result, what I didn’t expect was that at the end of September, Bisji came to me with the ‘healing herbs’ to claim credit. "

Nitro turned his back to Germain and looked up at the stars.

"You have actually accomplished this. This is something that only Dong Fulisi can do."

"Of course, your team is strong and experienced, this is one, and the other is your ability, which deserves a lot of credit."

"Bisji described your teleportation ability to me. It's incredible... The "Teleportation Lantern" has greatly reduced the difficulty of obtaining "Hope". "

"It's just that, soon, I thought that although you need to pay a certain price for using the ability of "Teleportation Lantern", it is obviously not enough. "

"Then, either you have already paid the huge price, or there is something that paid it for you."

Germain could tell that Nitro seemed to have his own suspicions about this aspect. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he did not challenge the Dark Continent again.

Nitro didn't show off.

"The Dark Continent is a huge and boundless continent. No one knows what is in the depths of the continent. The only thing we know is that it does not belong to us."

"Humanity was once a member of the Dark Continent, but was eventually forced to migrate to the six continents in the middle of Lake Mobius, where it was able to thrive."

"However, compared to the Dark Continent, the Six Continents are too small, pitifully small."

"In other words, most of the continents in the world are not areas that humans can set foot on."

"But that's not all the limitations humans are subject to."

"You should have noticed that most of Lake Mobius, or the sea in our eyes, does not belong to humans."

"Beyond the six continents, after sailing for several months, you will encounter a clear dividing line. Beyond the dividing line is the dark sea."

"The ocean outside there belongs to the dark continent and is not an area that humans can navigate."

"This is still not the end."

Nitro turned around, stared at Germain, raised his hand and pointed at the stars.

"Most of the space in the sky does not belong to the area where we can fly."

Germain pursed his lips, thinking about something.

Nitro lowered his hand and pointed at the airship they were standing on.

"Most of mankind's air vehicles are airships. Even artillery bombs are dropped by airships."

"However, we actually already have the technology to develop vehicles that can fly faster, higher, and further, similar to airships."

"We even had a design called a 'satellite'."

"However, we didn't put them all into practice because someone had already done it, and it turned out that it was pointless to develop it."

"It will be shot down and crushed without mercy."

Germain frowned.

"What shot it down and shattered it?"

Nitro shook his head.

"I don't know...it was precisely because I didn't know what it was that I found it terrifying. In the end, humans gave up on air transportation other than airships and also gave up on satellites."

"Like the dragon-bird monsters that beat up the enemy family, they don't dare to fly too high, too far, or too fast. They always fall from the clouds very quickly."

"Did you notice that, Germain?"

"The whole world is like a box, trapping the six continents and human beings in it. It is surrounded by walls on all sides, walls that cannot be crossed or desecrated."

"If you go across the deep sea, you may be buried in the belly of a fish in the deep sea. If you go to the dark continent, you may be contaminated by "disasters." "

"You are going to the sky, or even higher, and you will be crushed like a martyr and disappear completely."

"So, Germain, what gives you the power to travel back and forth to the Dark Continent, and what do you want you to do?"

"After knowing these things, do you still want to continue?"

Germain was silent for a long time.

"I want to continue."

"Why?"

"A gut feeling."

Netero chuckled.

"Intuition? Can you guarantee that this intuition belongs to you?"

Germain stared at the stars, and the stars stared back at him.

"I don't know...but my intuition tells me that I must continue, otherwise it will be too late."
