Framework X Phoenix Egg

"It seems everyone is happy to let people from Meteor City learn Nen ability and take them under their wing."

Melusina looked at the increasingly complete set of documents in her hand and muttered to herself.

Upon hearing this, Kevin reached out and took the documents, carefully examining them.

They have many channels for obtaining information, so the information they have collected about Meteor City is quite comprehensive.

Kevin sighed after reviewing the documents in his hand.

"This brings us to the essence of Nen ability. Nen ability are closely related to one's personality, which is shaped by one's surrounding environment and childhood experiences."

"The talented children who survive in Meteor City are born with extraordinary personalities."

First and foremost, resilience is practically their defining characteristic.

Those who survive and emerge from that place are not lacking in resilience.

And so-called battles and struggles are their daily routine.

Although there is trash everywhere in Meteor City, there are different kinds of trash.

Some of the things that wealthy people discard can even be considered as wealth.

The residents of Meteor City live off this garbage, and every piece of landfill is contested; survival is a struggle.

Only those who succeed in stealing will survive.

This is the way of survival in Meteor City.

They seem no different from those in the wild, not to mention that as humans, they also have different personalities, fights, band together, and schemes and tricks, which are endless.

The aggressiveness inherent in their personality should not be underestimated.

In this situation, they can easily develop unique or highly aggressive Nen ability after learning Nen ability.

With proper instruction, the resulting Nen ability will far exceed the average level of ordinary people.

Looking at the information in his hand, Kevin understood why everyone tacitly allowed this area to exist.

Who wouldn't like a place that consistently produces outstanding Nen user?

Not to mention, the people who come from here have desires that are extremely easy to satisfy.

Because all they received throughout their childhood was the garbage that society didn't want.

Moreover, as long as one has the ability, everyone can lend a hand.

Perhaps due to pride, V5 always had its undercover agents do things behind the scenes, while outwardly maintaining a completely unrelated relationship with them.

Naturally, everyone can find the talent they want from this.

This area is also a recruitment base for gangs.

And the gangsters.

Hehe, needless to say.

So what are your thoughts?

Kevin turned to look at Melusina and asked.

"It sounds a bit strange, but perhaps we can try this method," Melusina said, pointing to Little Wang, who had somehow swum in through the window.

"We are definitely going to the Dark Continent, and we need complete logistics and a continuous supply of blood."

They had been discussing matters related to the Dark Continent for a long time, and the corresponding plans and preparations were being subtly adjusted over time.

Almost everyone within the Nosra Manor knew about it and was making the necessary preparations.

Melusina, who also went to the Dark Continent with Kevin, is an important member.

She naturally understood most of the preparations for the entire event, and in some aspects, she even assisted with them.

"Wouldn't the residents of Meteor City be perfect for this? They've grown up in this environment since childhood, and compared to normal residents, they're naturally more resilient, making them well-suited to living in the dangerous wilderness of the Dark Continent."

That statement is indeed correct; it's certainly more suitable for most people than for the average person.

What requires training for ordinary people is simply part of daily life for the residents of Meteor City.

"Furthermore, it's difficult for residents of Meteor City to live outside through normal channels, isn't it?"

"They face discrimination from the outside world and find it difficult to adapt to its rules, so violent gangs that prey on them are their only remaining viable avenue."

This is the only path left for them by the outside world, and it is also a path that has been carefully crafted for them.

"Let them join the exploration of the Dark Continent. Once there are enough of them, and they occupy important positions, and we have indeed established a sustainable outward expansion base on the Dark Continent."

"So if you want to gain benefits, if you want to obtain the treasures brought back from the Dark Continent, even if you are a V5, you have to consider their attitude."

"Compared to the treasures within the Dark Continent, the Blockade of Meteor City is insignificant."

After so much thought, Melusina had a general framework in her mind.

And they combined this framework with their goals.

To achieve a win-win situation.

If things develop as Melusina predicted, then there is indeed no problem.

Kevin, who wasn't very familiar with the inner workings of Meteor City, asked, "How can you guarantee they'll seize the opportunity? Just like the Phantom Troupe, apart from the Chrollo, the others aren't much different from the other residents of Meteor City."

"He only cares about those close to him, and his feelings towards Meteor City are very awkward."

In that kind of environment, in Meteor City, it's hard to be sure that their emotions are stable.

Melusina pointed to her head.

"I carefully reviewed those memories. Meteor City wasn't completely chaotic; there was order within it as well."

"The Council of Elders, a religious Council of Elders."

Melusina began to explain slowly.

Inside Meteor City, the Council of Elders is responsible for the operation of the entire city.

Their attitude towards the outside world, their cooperation with gangs, and even some of the rules of Meteor City were all discussed and decided upon by them.

From what I remember, these elders were not incompetent fools at all.

They are truly a group of people who are doing their best to preserve the interests and living environment of Meteor City in such a precarious situation.

As the Chrollo of the group, Chrollo is also subject to the Council of Elders under certain circumstances.

He was even considered a future member of the Council of Elders from an early age.

"Based on the information and my memories, the conclusion is that once we give them this opportunity, they will definitely seize it and cooperate to the best of their ability."

Melusina said with absolute certainty.

You could call these elders extreme, but you definitely can't call them stupid.

"Most importantly, with these memories, I should be able to easily strike up a conversation with them without them feeling repulsed. If Shalnark can also introduce me, I should be able to get the Council of Elders's help."

As for the hatred towards the Phantom Troupe...

By understanding the memories in one's mind, it can be determined that the Council of Elders absolutely not seek revenge.

When they established such a criminal gang in this way, they were already prepared to be the target of revenge.

If you are not prepared to be killed, you should not pick up a butcher's knife.

It's already a very good result that they didn't storm into Meteor City.

By establishing connections and making deals with the Council of Elders, and with Shalnark providing certain guarantees.

A relatively stable partnership should be achievable.

The Council of Elders already accustomed to and familiar with this procedure.

Kevin nodded; there was definitely a possibility of doing that.

It was indeed very helpful to them.

The two were talking.

Kevin's phone suddenly vibrated.

I picked up my phone and saw it was an email.

The sender was actually Pakunoda.

"Interesting. Is there something I need to do?"

Kevin chuckled, muttering something strange to himself.

Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out why he would send an email at this time.

As Kevin opened the email, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Melusina also leaned her head closer.

By the time he finished reading the email, Melusina had already pushed the Notebook next to him in front of him.

"Thanks."

He was just about to use it.

I turned on my computer and looked at the emails that had been sent to me, along with a whole bunch of different kinds of pictures and decrypted information.

Hand-drawn maps, some local books and legends, electronic maps, and various translated information from stone tablets.

The annotations were densely packed together.

Kevin looked at it carefully, while Melusina beside him helped with the analysis.

Her Nen ability requires her to have a certain level of knowledge, and it must be related to Kevin's troubles.

"Phoenix Egg- "

After reading all the information, Kevin fell into deep thought.

Who would have thought such a coincidence, or perhaps fate, could happen?

Kevin had an egg in his hand that had been with him for a long time.

That is, the one that mutated from the Golden Chicken.

Initially, they believed it to be a mutant and continued to study it, but after so many years, they still had no results.

Kevin even used his Nen Aura to transmit it, attempting to analyze the relevant information through the Chip.

The result was useless.

After learning more, I discovered that it wasn't a mutant at all.

It's more like a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest.

With continued supply of more temperature and energy, it reverted to its original form.

I thought they would hatch, but there's been no sign of them yet.

It's been sitting in the lab ever since.

To be honest, Kevin had almost forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, relevant information suddenly came through at this time.

I had seen that egg in the lab and studied Pakunoda for several days. I found relevant information outside. According to the information in the email, the initial target of the Pakunoda had no relevance. It wasn't until I passed by that I found information about the Red Giant Bird. When I went to investigate, I confirmed that the red Giant Bird was the Phoenix, Phantom Beast from the legend.

In different countries and ancient legends, the Phoenix has various names.

They may be similar species, or they may be completely different species.

But regardless, their stories and images exist.

Many ancient countries, and even some families today, still use related patterns to represent themselves.

In the ordinary world, this would certainly be just a symbolic image.

However, given the existence of the Dark Continent, these creatures, which may exist only in legends and are widely found in legends around the world, could very well be real.

It's nothing more than a product of the Dark Continent.

In essence, human society is not lacking in creatures from the Dark Continent.

Demonic Beast, Rare Beast, Phantom Beast -

These and so on, everywhere is filled with the shadow of the Dark Continent.

However, those who came here, like humans, were malnourished.

It cannot compete with humans, nor can it pose a threat to the entire human race.

If the information in the email ends here, then it essentially has nothing to do with Kevin.

At most, I'd ask him if he was interested.

The problem arose after combining the translated and registered stories of some Ruins, leading them to a conclusion.

The reason why the Phoenix has the word "immortal" in its name is to suggest that this Phantom Beast must have some kind of characteristic or ability to resist death.

After several months, Pakunoda and his team successfully deciphered the relevant information.

It was originally impossible to determine.

However, some of the information matches the egg in Kevin's hand very closely.

When the Phoenix is about to die, an egg will appear.

This egg represents the Phoenix's rebirth and transformation.

When this egg hatches, it will be Phoenix reborn from the ashes.

Since it's inferred from a story, some parts are disjointed and the source of this information is completely unknown.

Moreover, their current location is quite far from the Nosra Manor.

It's difficult to make any related associations.

What convinced Pakunoda to confirm was that the patterns on the egg were highly similar to the missing images in the mural.

Kevin looked at the information in the picture and compared it in his mind. He had to admit that it was indeed very likely.

It's not entirely certain, but this is the only chance.

It's better than having no information at all.

"Looks like you've become interested?"

Melusina, leaning on his shoulder, said.

Kevin nodded. "Whether it's related to the egg we have or not, as long as it's related to the Phoenix,..."

That's certainly interesting, isn't it?

And he is Phantom Beast Hunter, although he hasn't done anything particularly serious.

They didn't see any Phoenix on the Dark Continent.

Since he can't improve his current strength anyway, and the limitations of his materials prevent him from making any high-level potions, he might as well travel around more, experience things, and gain some experience.

The Phoenix is indeed a very good target.

If it's related to the egg they have, that would be even better.

"What about you? Are you going to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Melusina poked her chin with her finger, thought for a moment, and then shook her head.

"No, you go by yourself. I'm planning to have Shalnark take me to Meteor City while I'm at it."

During this time, because Pairo and Kurapika were constantly on the go, Shalnark was having some nothing to do at the Manor.

"Well then, good luck, darling."

Melusina said with a smile, and kissed Kevin on the cheek.

Once they set their goal, they acted swiftly.

It was ready in less than two days.

"Are you two coming along too?"

Kevin looked at Men Qi and Buhaci and asked.

The two nodded.

"That's Phoenix bird! I've heard stories about it, how could I not be interested?"

Related legends and various symbols are everywhere, so it's not surprising that people know about them.

Hehe, I wonder what it tastes like?

Buhaci was already drooling and daydreaming.

"Fool!"

Men Qi nudged Buhaci in the stomach with her elbow and cursed, "Legend says that the Phoenix turns into Ash after it dies, and there's no flesh left. Do you want to eat ashes?"

"Who said that? The legends I heard don't say that." Buhaci's delusions were interrupted.

There are too many related legends, and they are too ancient. They have long been distorted and are now difficult to distinguish.

This is also one of the difficulties in Phantom Beast.

Do you not know where Phantom Beast originated, or from what era they began to be passed down as stories?

As these stories spread, they were combined and edited by the locals into all sorts of tales.

This makes it difficult to analyze whether Phantom Beast truly exist or whether their power and abilities are as magical as described in legends based solely on legends.

"Alright, alright, let's go. We'll see when we get there. Whatever the legend or story, you should at least give me some information."

"Aren't you carrying that egg with you?" Men Qi asked, turning around.

Kevin shook his head.

"No rush. Let's go check out the situation first, and then we can transport the eggs over after we've determined the local conditions."

As they chatted, they arrived at a private airport that had been specially built on a flat area behind the Manor.

They traveled to their destination aboard a private Airship.
