As the day of the voyage gets closer and closer, Kakin the entire country has completely fallen into a kind of fanaticism, no, it should be said to be a state of madness.
Whether on TV or online, various news media are constantly talking about the exploration of the Dark Continent and the colonization of a total of 200,000 people.
All hotels and inns near the port are full of people, and the population density on the streets is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All public service facilities and entertainment venues are operating at overload.
If it had not been prepared in advance, the social order would probably have collapsed by now.
However, King's Nasubi doesn't really care about this. He just looks down at the huge ferry in the distance every day, his eyes full of puzzling and complicated light.
Just when he seemed to be deep in thought, a man walked in from outside the house, put one hand on his chest and bowed respectfully. "Your Majesty! Latest news! The young man you are waiting for has boarded the Airship bound for our country. If there is no extreme weather, he should arrive in five days."
"Oh? Is Nen user, the strongest human being after Isaac·Netero - Reaper Allen finally coming?" Nasubi raised the corners of his mouth with a playful smile.
"That's right! Do you need to arrange a showdown for him?" the man asked cautiously.
"No, no need. Not only don't make any pretense, but also treat me with the highest standards of etiquette. Remember, he is the most special and one of the most distinguished guests on this ferry." Nasubi ordered without looking back.
"I understand! Everything is as you wish!"
The man bent down and bowed deeply again, then walked backwards out of the room.
After he completely left, Nasubi asked another subordinate in the room, "Prince, have the arrangements been made and notified?"
"Yes! According to your request, they all took Pot Egg, and they all knew that Succession Contest would start after setting sail. In fact, some Prince had already made preparations before this, and even arranged gold Hunter Exam under them, hoping to use this as a breakthrough." A middle-aged man in a black suit quickly stood up and explained.
"Haha, they are really impatient."
Hearing that his children were actively planning to ascend to the throne, a happy smile appeared on Nasubi's plump face.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand why you must invite the young man named Allen on board? According to our investigation, he is a dangerous person and may cause obstacles or even damage to Succession Contest." The middle-aged man questioned in confusion.
"Of course you won't understand! Because this involves the deepest secret hidden in Succession Contest. In short, just follow my instructions."
Nasubi did not give a direct answer, but waved his hand very perfunctorily, signaling all the guards and servants in the room to leave.
After all these people disappeared, he murmured meaningfully, "Reaper Allen! You will be the best sacrifice in this ceremony! With your thoughts and power, you can definitely give birth to the greatest king in Kakin history. My child will become the ruler of the entire world!"
At the same time, Jin and Pariston, who had completed all preparations and were waiting to set sail, were also discussing topics related to Allen.
"Did you really challenge him?" Pariston asked with a smile.
"Yes! And he has clearly accepted it. If nothing else, the winner of this competition will be between us. As for the Hunter Association led by Kido, although she has the advantage in terms of numbers and resources, her character is not suitable for exploration in the crisis-ridden Dark Continent. She also lacks the courage to break the inherent thinking framework, which is not a concern at all." Jin replied casually.
"Then what is our goal?" Pariston asked with interest.
"Of course, we need to deal with the monster that can transmit murderous intent - Two-tailed Snake Hell Chime, and bring back the longevity food Nitoromi."
King had obviously already made up his mind, naming the entire team's first goal without even thinking.
After all, the entire Dark Continent is so huge that it is impossible to wander aimlessly, so challenging a place that has already been explored is the wisest choice.
"Huh? Is it the kind of rice that can make people live longer after eating it? I thought the first targets would be Three-source Water and Gas Lifeform." Pariston showed a very rare expression of surprise.
"I originally planned to find Sanyuan Water, but the problem is that you won't agree. What you desire most in your heart is to continue walking along the footsteps of the old man. Am I right?" Jin asked with a smile.
Pariston smiled and spread his hands, "Oh my! You have seen through this. It seems that you are also a very scary person. In order to make this game more fun, how about we also become opponents?"
"Rival? Aren't we already rivals now? But this time you want to use the same method against the old man to deal with me, it is absolutely impossible to succeed." There was a hint of provocation in Jin's tone.
Because there was a difficult opponent inside and outside, he felt like he was being forced into a blind corner, and his whole person became excited.
"Hahahaha! Let's wait and see! In addition, what do you think Allen will choose as his first goal in the Dark Continent?" Pariston's spirit has obviously become a little excited.
In fact, as early as when he joined Zodiacs of the Hunter Association, he had always been eager to compete with Jin Jin.
But unfortunately, Jin has never responded to this.
But today, the two finally established their relationship as rivals. Next, they will compete fiercely within this small group until one person is completely eliminated.
Jin thought for a few minutes and quickly guessed, "I think based on his character and behavior, he should choose to explore the ancient city ruins, solve Plant Weapon Gold and Silver Ingots, and bring back the vanilla that can cure all diseases. You must know that among all hunters, he has the strongest sense of racial identity as a human being. This can be clearly seen from his treatment of the Chimera Ant invasion incident."
Pariston nodded thoughtfully. "In other words, this is a competition of speed. In principle, we will not conflict in terms of goals."
"This is not necessarily true! Don't forget, our current identity is an expedition team hired by the Kakin Kingdom. If there is a conflict between Allen and Kakin Royal Family on the ship, how should we choose?" Jin put forward a hypothesis.
"It all depends on whether Kakin Royal Family can prove that he has the ability to deal with this terrifying monster. If he can't, I will never join it easily."
After that, Pariston stood up and came to the window, staring at the huge Black Whale docked in the harbor in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.
