Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Kate stepped into Germain's room and saw three drawings pinned to the gray wall with thumbtacks, each depicting three different maps.

Ancient labyrinths, gray deserts, steep mountains.

Among them, the map of the steep mountain range is the roughest. This is because the electronic equipment there is all scrapped and it is impossible to take photos or videos at all.

In the end, Germain and others relied on each other's memories to piece together part of the map of the steep mountain range.

In addition, what Kate saw was a pair of fishing rods on a shelf, a few sketches slightly scattered on the table, and a retro vinyl record player.

These things, plus a game console and controller, will soon be swallowed by the little "bulging-eyed fish" and taken to Germain's room in the ancient maze.

Germain poured Kate a glass of water, and then he heard Kate ask about Kim.

In the past few days since he came back, he has been repeatedly describing his experiences in the past few months to different people, including Jin's.

Germain has become very skilled at sorting out what Kate may be concerned about and what is irrelevant and can be ignored. The whole process seems to be quite smooth.

Regarding Xiaojie, Kate didn't ask much. He had already quietly visited Xiaojie once and confirmed that Xiaojie was doing well and had friends. That was enough.

Kate and Xiaojie met three years ago, when he went to Whale Island to find traces of Jin and complete the "final test" assigned to him by Jin.

As a result, he failed to find Jin, but met Xiaojie who had strayed into danger.

He rescued Xiaojie, and realized the relationship between Xiaojie and Jin from Xiaojie's determined and déjà vu eyes. After asking, it turned out that they were father and son.

Kate and Xiaojie had a common topic, and he described to Xiaojie bit by bit what he knew about Jin.

It can be said that he is the person who directly pushed Xiaojie to embark on the path of professional hunter and search for gold.

At that time, he accidentally left Jin's hunting license on Whale Island, and left without knowing anything about it.

Xiaojie picked up the hunter's license and has been keeping it ever since.

He thought it belonged to Kate and wanted to return it to Kate one day.

These are the fate of Kate and Xiaojie.

Kate seemed indifferent and briefly asked a few questions about Germain's future arrangements for Gon, Kurapika, and Killua, then nodded without saying anything more.

This means that he is satisfied with this arrangement.

Next, Kate talked about his various experiences in the Cajun Empire, including the undercurrents between the Cajun royal family and the three major gang families.

"After the death of the fourth prince Cheli Donich, the entire Cajun royal family stepped up their guard, and while investigating, they were suspicious of each other."

"The Ai family, the gangster family that originally cooperated with Cheli Donich, quickly switched to the command of the ninth prince Halkenbrugger and further established a foothold."

"This time the Cajun Empire's colonial voyage, BW1 will carry all the royal family members of the Cajun Empire, and the main members of the three major gang families will also follow."

Kate, who was tall and thin, sat upright on the single sofa, one leg resting on the knee of the other. He lowered his head slightly and held his chin with his fingers as he pondered.

"Although it is claimed that this is done to show the Cajun Empire's confidence and importance in this colonial voyage, this unreserved action is really..."

"Strange?" Germain took a sip of warm water and raised his black eyes, "They only left the most basic governance structure in the Cajun Empire. This is indeed strange."

"Yeah." Kate nodded and said, "Aren't the Cajun royal family worried that the two-month voyage will be enough for the Cajun empire to have a coup that overthrows them?"

"Even if they have backup forces in the Cajin Empire and subordinates who are willing to die, they are still far away from each other."

"In addition to civil strife, there is also the possibility of invasion by V5 and other countries. Don't they have any concerns in this regard?"

"Unless they had no intention of coming back in the first place." Germain said, "They intend to completely move the core of the empire to the imaginary dark continent."

He happened to have discussed this matter with President Netero, so it was not surprising to him that Kate was talking about it at this time.

About thirty years ago, the Cajun Empire changed its political system from an empire to a nominal parliamentary democracy in "the quietest revolution in history."

However, it is precisely because of that "quietest revolution" that the power of the entire country is still in the hands of the Cajun royal family, and the parliament is more of a puppet and mouthpiece.

The Cajun royal family collectively moved from the Cajun Empire to the imaginary dark continent through a long voyage. This was actually the transfer of the country's largest political core.

"Moving the capital" is not uncommon in history, but the only example of such a long-distance migration, separated from the mainland by the vast sea, is the Cajun royal family.

This extremely strange behavior naturally attracted the attention of Germain, President Nitro and others immediately.

They believe that as long as the original V5 is not too stupid, he must be aware of the weirdness here.

This was one of the reasons why they agreed to send five ships to follow the voyage.

Germain and Kate exchanged opinions on this matter, and Kate brought unexpected news to Germain as they talked.

"I heard Hisoka is still alive," he said. "Although I didn't see the real person, I did hear a lot of urban rumors about him."

"He seems to have reached a subtle cooperative relationship with Melena of the Ai family."

"When the Ai family initially lost the support of the fourth prince, Celidonisi, it was originally robbed by the other two major gangster families."

"At this time, Melena and Xi Suo launched an extreme revenge action. In the end, when it was so violent and crazy that it was almost impossible to end, it was the Kajin royal family that calmed the chaos."

"Xi Suo no longer shows his true face. He seems to have the ability to change his appearance at will. He can disguise himself as men, women, old and young."

"This allows him to easily sneak into most parts of the Kajin Empire and commit all kinds of evil deeds, making him the number one villain of the Ai family."

"Melena and Xi Suo, as the leaders of the Ai family, are likely to appear on the BW1 on the colonial voyage this time."

Kate knew the strange relationship between Germain and Xi Suo, so she deliberately informed Germain of this information to prevent Germain from being plotted against.

After all, judging from some of the information Kate collected, Xi Suo's style of doing things has changed considerably.

In the past, Hisoka followed some principles to satisfy his fighting desire, but now he has reached the point of pursuing pleasure by any means.

Germain knew that Hisoka and Kuroro had a fierce battle, and the result was that both sides were seriously injured and disabled, and Kuroro, who had lost most of his fighting ability, finally committed suicide in front of Germain.

As for Hisoka, his broken limbs can be glued together with "retractable love", and his disguise is completed with "frivolous illusion".

Having died once and been seriously injured once, Hisoka's ability to read may have evolved and become stronger in the accumulated combat experience.

And now he and Melina are both chaotic evils, and they are just like each other when they are together.

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Kate got up and said goodbye.

After sending him away, Germain went to the bathroom to wash up, and then stood on the balcony outside to blow the night breeze, thinking silently under the sparse starlight.

The next morning, Germain specifically asked Nob about the current location of Kurapika, Killua and Gon, and he wanted to go and see them.

However, Nob didn't know where they were now, because his guidance to the three young people had ended, and it was up to them to do it on their own.

Nob himself was also busy with the Hunter Association's exploration team and had no time to be distracted.

Germain still got the exact location of Kurapika, Killua and Gon from the twins Ida and Elena, so he used the administrator card to fly over.

It turned out that they were at Xiaomai's place, intending to complete Xiaomai's main task and obtain the corresponding cards.

Killua and Gon both quickly lost to Xiaomai in the military chess game and failed to meet the conditions for obtaining the cards.

The conditions for obtaining the cards were of course not to defeat Xiaomai. I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can beat this female chess master in the military chess game.

As long as you can persist in a certain number of chess moves, you can pass the level and get the most basic cards. The more chess moves you persist in, the better the quality of the cards you get.

Killua and Gon racked their brains but couldn't stop Mugi's chess offensive in a game of military chess where they didn't even understand the rules.

Kurapika, on the other hand, knew Mugi before and had played several games of military chess together. Now, they were going back and forth on the chessboard.

Finally, after Kurapika made another move, Mugi laughed.

After her eyesight was restored, her eyes were almost blocked by her thick eyebrows when she laughed, but she couldn't hide her excitement.

"Kurapika, you have met the most basic requirements, you can get the cards and leave, do you want to continue?"

Looking at the situation on the chessboard that had not yet ended, Kurapika wanted to continue, but suddenly heard a bang, and turned around to see teacher Germain appear not far away.

"Teacher?" Kurapika stood up. He didn't know that Germain had returned to Greed Island the day before yesterday.

Killua and Gon looked at each other and jumped from their seats to the ground in surprise.

Xiaomai was the slowest to react. When she saw Germain, she stammered "Ahhh" a few times before trying to stand up.

As a result, she knocked over the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces fell to the ground with a clatter.

She hurriedly tried to pick them up, which caused her head to hit the corner of the table. She covered her forehead in pain and was about to cry.
