April Prophecy X Interpretation

As soon as she entered the living room, Nion rushed into her father's arms, took his arm, and chattered away.

Light listened to his daughter with a smile, occasionally breaking into a smile as he drifted into memories.

Kurapika sat down next to his mother and they talked quietly.

Pairo walked straight to Kevin and sat down next to him, a slightly gloating smile creeping onto his usually calm face.

"What kind of mischief have you been up to with your Nen ability this time?"

Kevin asked with a smile.

You could guess what just happened even with your toes.

Furthermore, nowadays, Pairo likes to use the guise of training his Nen ability to suddenly alter the small objects that Kurapika sees during training sessions.

Pairo just chuckled, "Kurapika is so stupid. He left the tribe before me, yet he knows absolutely nothing about these things. I'm just helping him out."

Sure enough, it must have been Pairo altered Kurapika's vision again, making him see some strange images of Nion.

Thinking of this, Kevin rubbed his temples helplessly. For a moment, he inexplicably felt sorry for Kurapika.

After all, everyone was secretly trying to bring this couple together.

Although Pairo may seem to be playing a prank, he is actually helping the cause.

Even more outrageous is that both sets of parents were secretly pushing for it.

Nion was also interested, but Kurapika remained oblivious, completely unaware, and it was anyone's guess when he would suddenly realize it.

Judging from the current situation, Kurapika will likely have a hard time escaping.

Given Kurapika's personality and his duty as Nion's bodyguard, there was virtually no way he could refuse.

Once everyone had arrived, Light coughed softly.

The servants all left, and the living room became empty, leaving only six people sitting around the coffee table.

Seeing this, Pairo and Kurapika seemed to realize something and immediately straightened their posture.

Seeing the Notebook and pens on the coffee table, Nion naturally understood what to do and sat down next to them.

"So, who wants to do the divination?"

She looked at her father and Kevin.

Generally speaking, only these two people would need her to occupy their space.

"It's Dad."

Light said, sitting down opposite Nion.

Nion nodded, and without saying a word, skillfully recorded the necessary information.

Seeing this, the three members of the Kurta Clan straightened their backs and focused their Nen Aura on their eyes.

They knew that Nion's Nen ability were about to unveil their mysteries.

Pairo and Kurapika had been curious about this for a long time.

After all, Nion had already awakened her Nen ability on her own long before they knew about Nen ability.

They've kept this secret for so long, they're so eager to know.

Then, they clearly witnessed the entire process of Nion's Nen ability —the Lovely Ghostwriter— being displayed.

That strange pink, winged Nen Beast.

A fortune-telling Angel?

As the prophecy was completed, Nion returned to normal, tore off the paper, and handed it to her father.

"Alright, Dad, this is the prophecy for the next month. Read it carefully."

Light smiled and patted his daughter's head.

He then simply showed the Prophecy Poem to everyone and circulated it among them.

The three members of the Kurta Clan took the book and read it, their brows furrowing.

"So, is this a way of divining the next month in the form of poetry?" Rosana asked, her eyes wide.

As the only older woman in the team, she was mostly responsible for taking care of the girls.

In addition, her lively personality, to some extent, almost filled the void left by Nion's lack of a mother's presence.

So she naturally knew that Nion was extremely obsessed with divination; she even had a special divination room filled with all sorts of strange divination tools and various crystal Rock.

She just hadn't expected that Nion's Nen ability would actually be used for predicting the future.

That sounds a bit too fantastical.

Just like children's books.

How accurate is it?

Pairo asked, feeling there must be an accurate probability.

Kevin looked at him seriously. "100%, of course, that's assuming you didn't know about the prophecy."

Even the usually calm and composed Pairo couldn't help but widen his eyes, his expression becoming somewhat out of control. "100%? Is the prediction's accuracy completely correct?" he exclaimed in surprise.

He already held Nen ability in high regard, after all, his own Nen ability was quite powerful, especially in his Fiery Red Eye state.

Even so, it can only unleash its full power when its life force is burning with Fiery Red Eye.

Without the boost from Fiery Red Eye, his Nen ability is far inferior to Nion's in terms of functionality alone.

Even with Fiery Red Eye activated, normally she could only barely match Nion's Nen ability.

Moreover, it seems that the cost of Nion's Nen ability is less than that of hers.

There certainly won't be any cost, like burning one's life force or causing physical damage. Otherwise, given Uncle Kevin's personality, he would never use it casually; he would definitely save it for a crucial moment.

"Nion, you're amazing!"

Kurapika didn't hold back his praise for his good friend, looking at Nion with a sincere expression.

"Of course! Haha, I'm going to become the big boss, so you can always come to me for help with anything in the future!"

"Look, "Nion said smugly, hands on her hips, her face full of pride.

Seeing Nion's appearance, Light felt inexplicably uneasy.

She didn't react this strongly when I praised Nion.

He sighed silently.

Kevin patted Light on the shoulder. "You'll get used to it. Kurapika is pretty good, isn't he?"

Light glanced at Kevin and waved his hand. "It's different. You'll understand when you have a daughter."

Kevin couldn't possibly understand this feeling.

He turned his attention back to the Prophecy Poem.

[The Sorcerer's Stone fell into the empty blue sea, and the resulting Vitality Potion stirred the spirits. All beings scattered silver coins, thirsting to drink the wine of desire, the waves pushing the coins together like a gallows.]

The spirits idly waved silver coins, their efforts futile; the roaring furnace devoured the sun and moon, bringing dawn. Greedy souls, traversing the land, exchanged silver for gold; on the boiling shore, bronze serpents laid their eggs.

[In a magnificent, opulent hall, filthy figures clad in gold robes abound. Fragile Chain creak from the clashing of crystal glasses, bound together by Mysterious Potion, forming a web-like pact.]

[The washed-away filth gnaws like maggots on bones, and greedy eyes gleam in the emerging darkness. Ten ferocious beasts lurk in the deep cave, and the giant bat hanging upside down will tighten its Chain.]

Well, there are a lot of ambiguous and vague references.

However, based on what they currently know, and their own actions, we can still deduce quite a bit.

"How do we interpret this?" Kurapika asked curiously.

The main problem is that the Prophecy Poem contain too many ambiguous and misleading elements, with all sorts of symbolic references and references gathered together.

It seemed like it was saying something, but also like it wasn't saying anything at all.

"Do you want me to interpret this? I don't want to hear it, I'm leaving."

With that, Nion covered her ears and left the living room, running towards the garden.

Seeing this scene, Kurapika turned to Kevin, his eyes questioning.

"Nion cannot divine for herself, nor can she see or know the information she divines for others."

Kurapika nodded knowingly.

He felt inexplicably pressured because Nion's abilities were powerful, but she couldn't use them on him.

In other words, if Nion were to encounter danger, she would not be able to foresee it herself.

My duty is to protect Nion; both Nion herself and her abilities are very important.

I clenched my fist and cheered myself up.

He needs to work harder.

He didn't want to see Nion suffer any mishap; having already lost his people, he couldn't bear to lose anything more.

Kevin looked at Kurapika without saying anything, and turned his attention back to the Prophecy Poem.

Together with Light, they began to interpret the prophetic poems; both of them had experience in interpreting Prophecy Poem.

This is a good opportunity to teach the three Kurta Clan how to interpret Prophecy Poem; they might find it useful in the future.

The first sentence of the first paragraph should be easy to understand. In alchemical legends, the red Rock is the Sorcerer's Stone, and that's what I considered when I chose this name.

"So this should refer to us, or the company. Falling into the blue ocean, from a business perspective, means entering a blue ocean of business opportunities."

"The Vitality Potion, I don't need to explain that much. Judging from the meaning of the poem, the drug must have caused a sensation in the market after it was launched. After briefly explaining the first sentence, Kevin looked at the second sentence: "After it was launched, many people sought it out and hoped to buy the drug."

"The image of silver coins piled up like waves to form a gallows suggests that making too much money carries some risk, but it's still within a manageable range."

It's a business war, after all.

It's normal for risks to exist.

The interpretation of the first paragraph is that simple.

The three Kurta Clan listened from the side and nodded, roughly understanding how to break it down and analyze it.

"It seems to be just as we expected."

Light smiled. Although he had expected it, his daughter's accurate prediction gave him a boost of confidence.

"Now let's look at the second paragraph. Generally speaking, a paragraph represents events of the next week. Based on the current timeline, the second paragraph corresponds to the second week," Kevin explained simply.

The three Kurta Clan nodded again, indicating that they understood.

"The first sentence should mean that the drugs that were launched were snapped up, and by the second week, the supply could not meet the demand."

The furnace must be being produced by the factory around the clock.

The first sentence of the second paragraph is slightly more difficult to interpret than that of the first paragraph, but it is still understandable.

"And what about the second sentence? It's becoming increasingly abstract and vague."

I can't help but say that Pairo said.

Light also nodded with a serious expression and a furrowed brow.

The abstract referential meaning in the second paragraph is indeed quite obvious, yet it leaves one somewhat bewildered.

Kevin also paused to think for a moment.

"We can interpret this second sentence based on what might happen under normal circumstances."

"Greedy people exchanged silver for gold; given the supply shortage at the time, what would that have resulted in?"

Kevin seemed to have an idea, and asked with a smile.

"Ah, it's that guy who resells at inflated prices."

Kurapika reacts very quickly.

"That's right, what I'm referring to is insufficient production capacity, which leads to the resale of drugs at inflated prices in the market. This is normal and logical."

As for the latter half of the sentence...

To be honest, this really stumped Kevin.

The group stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it symbolized.

This was the first time Kevin and Light had encountered such abstract prophetic content.

"The key point should be what the copper snake laying eggs signifies," Rosana pointed out the crucial point.

The phrase "boiling coast" is relatively easy to understand; the market is so booming that "boiling" is a fitting description.

"I understand, it's a symbolic meaning in alchemy or mysticism."

Kevin suddenly realized and said.

After all, his Alchemy Table, to some extent, carries a strong mystical aura, quite similar to the image of ancient alchemy.

This drug was essentially created by Kevin based on his predecessor's research, combined with his own techniques and the aid of Alchemy Table.

Common medicines that can be made without Alchemy Table

"The copper snake's egg-laying signifies rapid proliferation, which likely refers to the subsequent expansion of the pharmaceutical factory."

After some thought, everyone agreed that it made sense.

"As for the third paragraph, there's no need to explain further; Light should understand."

The meaning of the third paragraph is too obvious.

Light nodded and said simply, "If the company is that successful, I should already be in high society. At that point, all sorts of social engagements will come my way, and I'll be unlikely to refuse them."

The three looked at the poem, which, though highly ironic, was indeed true.

This likely refers to building a network of connections, and the only "Mysterious Potion" that needs to be deciphered is not a secret to them; it obviously refers to Kevin's potion. Through this potion, Light should have established a much wider network of contacts.

Everything went exactly as Kevin and Light had predicted.

"Then look at the last stanza. Without a doubt, the focus of the entire Prophecy Poem is in this last stanza. It seems someone is envious."

Kevin said with a smile.

This is not surprising; after all, with such tempting profits, it's no wonder people are envious.

Kevin is getting his Hunter License precisely to avoid these potential problems; otherwise, there will only be more trouble.

These were all expected.

"It's not that easy to clear your name, it's really a headache."

Light rubbed his temples and said with a helpless expression,

He spent months trying to shake off the influence of the past, but ultimately found it difficult to completely erase it.

He knew the methods of these gangs; anyone who dared to spy under these circumstances was either extremely powerful or a fool who couldn't see their own limitations.

There are quite a few people like that.

The prophecy clearly indicates who is spying on them.

To him, this was practically a direct naming of someone.

"As expected, it really is the Ten Elders. I didn't even have the right to see them before, but now I've actually attracted their attention."

At this point, Light couldn't help but laugh.

This precisely proves that the decision to partner with Kevin was correct.

"The Ten Elders?"

Kurapika was somewhat puzzled.

This sounds like their enemy.

These must be the ten evil beasts mentioned in the prophecy.

Kevin nodded. "You've been out here for so long, you should know that in this chaotic world, gangs exist legally, and in some ways, they even assume similar responsibilities to the police."

"But ultimately, they are still outlaws who indulge in the dark. The world's underground gangs are all under the unified control of ten families."

They were collectively known as the Ten Elders.

"Worldwide?"

Pairo was somewhat surprised.

Adding the phrase "the whole world" to anything always makes it seem impressive.

Just like Kevin back then, he was also fooled.

Kevin smiled. "Don't be too nervous, but don't let your guard down either. They're not as powerful as you think, but they are indeed troublesome."

In the past, Kevin might have had some reservations, but now he doesn't really care about them anymore.

"Judging from the meaning of the poem, it seems that a certain family only noticed your activities at the end of the month and wanted to take action."

Light Te nodded.

So, which family does "Bat" refer to?

Kevin asked.

Unexpectedly, Light shook his head.

There are many rumors about the Ten Elders. Each family does similar things, although there are some differences, mainly in the areas they manage.

Simply put, it's difficult to determine which family the poem refers to.

At this moment, Rosana suddenly said, "Then let's deduce from common sense: in this situation, which family is most likely to notice you and take action?"

Upon hearing this idea, Light.

Kurapika reminded him, "Uncle Light, you were originally the head of your family's mafia. If each of the Ten Elders were to manage a region,..."

"So, who was your previous superior family? Which of the Ten Elders were you under? They're the ones most likely to develop feelings for you, right?"

"After all, you were originally under their control, so they naturally have a strange possessiveness towards your businesses."

As he spoke, Kurapika pointed to the last paragraph.

The mention of Chain here implies binding and connection, and combined with the Chain mentioned above, it may also imply personal connections and relationships.

"Tightening the Chain indicates they believe the connection between you and them remains, and they want to continue controlling you."

After hearing Kurapika's analysis, Light immediately realized what was going on.

"Wow, that makes a lot of sense."

"My previous family was the Ritz Family, which belonged to the Teldoruka Family, Ritz Family of the Ten Elders."

"Tdorka? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before," Kevin said suddenly.

Light looked at him. "Don't you remember? The first conflict?"

"Oh, I remember now, it's that guy."

Kevin had to admit that he had been incredibly busy ever since, with one thing after another, and then the massacre of the Kurta Clan, so much so that he had completely forgotten about this matter.

Only after Light reminded him did he remember.

"What a small world!"

Kevin couldn't help but complain.

Do you have a conflict?

"Pairo asked."

Light briefly recounted their past.

Only then did they realize how dramatic the situation was.

"Leave it to me, Uncle. You're so busy, let us handle this."

Suddenly, Pairo said with a serious expression.

Rosana and Kurapika nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

They also longed to do something, rather than simply accepting Kevin's help.

After all, they are now a united whole.

Kevin pondered for a moment.

"No problem, then I'll leave it to you."
