Whale Banquet X The Fortune-Telling Priestess
Kevin sat in the Meeting Room.
Looking at the tablet in my hand.
The above is the latest information, which was collected from Morel's team's recent activities in the giant Beach Zone.
The above describes the overall situation of the Beach Zone, the changes in tides, and the inferred overall ecological conditions.
The ruler of the vast Beach Zone.
Without a doubt.
Devouring Sand Worm.
It is speculated that it may be related to an ethnic group.
"I thought there wouldn't be even one or two Devouring Sand Worm in the entire area, and they were from outside, since the Sky Overlord would hunt them down."
Biscuit looked at the documents and said something that seemed rather strange.
"Perhaps the one we encountered before was too powerful, reaching the Lord Rank, and was marked as a dangerous individual by the Sky Overlord."
"According to the information here, if the Devouring Sand Worm simply live in the Beach Zone, the harm they cause is actually..."
It doesn't seem as big as we imagined.
Is the formation of the Beach Zone due to Sand Worm? A simple hypothesis suggests otherwise.
The formation of beaches and the formation of deserts are two different concepts.
Sand Worm do not directly cause desertification, but they devour all life in the environment, thus directly disrupting the entire food chain.
There may be benefits, and there may be drawbacks.
However, for the plant ecosystem of the Dark Continent, this only makes them grow more exaggerated and lush.
Only in extreme circumstances will Sand Worm eat trees and grass together.
The Sand Worm in the Beach Zone are different.
Throughout the entire Beach Zone, it's like a food bowl that's automatically replenished every so often.
As the tides rise and fall, the ocean leaves many creatures on the beaches.
The entire Beach Zone is insignificant compared to the area, depth, and number of life in the ocean.
As the tides rise and fall, food is virtually inexhaustible.
Sand Worm simply need to devour the various creatures left on the Beach Zone, wait for a period of time, and so on.
Complex.
This almost created a stable ecosystem.
Therefore, when Morel and his group were in the Beach Zone, they would only see two types of creatures: extremely powerful Knight-level beings that they would definitely not be able to defeat in a one-on-one fight, and creatures so weak that they were not even worth considering.
There is no intermediate state.
The strong ones can avoid Sand Worm, while the weak ones are constantly being added to the mix.
"Perhaps if those Sand Worm lived in the Beach Zone, it would be good for the overall environment. It's just that when the stronger individuals started migrating inland, it would affect the ecology of other environments, and that would become bad."
Some organisms that are considered beneficial insects in their original environment may immediately turn into woodworms once they enter a new environment.
Furthermore, if they reach the Lord Level, the Sand Worm might have to move to more resource-rich areas due to food shortages in the Beach Zone.
"That's certainly possible, after all, the Dark Continent is still too vast."
From the Beach Zone to where they are, this coastal route already exceeds the two ends of the longest point in the human world.
However, after a brief exploration, the entire Beach Zone seemed to have little value to them.
That's not right either.
If Sand Worm can be effectively hunted.
It's still useful.
But that's definitely not easy.
It's important to know that Sand Worm, with their Lord Level strength, can evade Overlord by utilizing their burrowing ability.
Their hiding skills are definitely maxed out.
Night.
A whale feast was held right there in the Small Town.
Although the bubbles can help preserve the food to some extent, the whale meat has already been sitting for quite some time.
It's better to digest it.
So this time, the Thick White Milk was transformed into a special dipping sauce.
Only those who need it should take a little.
Everyone can eat to their heart's content.
The banquet was held in the square.
Next to the square was a small house, whose decorations stood out from the rest of the Small Town.
Because of its overall style, which has a somewhat fantastical and classical feel, it carries a sense of mystery.
I lifted the curtain and went into the inner room.
The entire inner room was rather dimly lit, with a table placed in the middle.
Candles were lit all around.
A faint, sweet fragrance can be smelled in the air.
Nion sat behind the table, her head covered by a veil.
A member of V6 lifted the curtain, walked in, and sat down opposite Nion.
He was the last one.
He slowly exhaled.
What are you praying for?
"Nion asked in a dazed tone, extending her index finger and gently sliding it across the crystal ball in front of her. She could even see the light emanating from the crystal ball..."
Mang noticed the purple nail polish on the index finger.
I pray for answers from the future; do I have any hope of returning home?
The voice may be steady, but the emotions may not be.
Nion wasn't surprised to hear this.
A stack of tarot cards was arranged one by one in front of her under her manipulation.
After a series of actions, the three tarot cards were revealed.
Nion, please help interpret this.
"This process is not short, it is extremely arduous, but by staying rational and firm in your stance, returning home is the ultimate outcome."
After listening to Nion's interpretation, the person in front of him let out a heavy sigh, a hint of relief flashing across his face.
"Thanks."
After saying that, he stood up, nodded slightly, and left.
After leaving.
"Can he go home?"
"His ashes might be able to go home."
"Smack!"
With a snap of his fingers.
The entire dimly lit environment was suddenly illuminated by the lights.
The candle went out immediately.
Nion stood up, removed her veil, and stretched languidly.
She turned around and threw herself into the arms of the person behind her.
Kurapika hugged her and gently rubbed her cheeks.
Tired?
"No, it's a bit more complicated than I thought."
Nion said, hands on her hips.
Looking at Nion, Kurapika tidied her hair.
Finally, he spoke up and asked.
"Should we go back?"
Upon hearing this question, Nion frowned, stared at Kurapika, and buried her head in his chest twice, nudging him gently.
"No way, I'm perfectly fine here."
Nion isn't stupid.
She knew Kurapika was worried that she wouldn't feel comfortable living here, after all, this was the Dark Continent, and its facilities, attractions, and environment were incomparable to those of the human world.
You're worrying too much about me. I feel much better here than at home.
"Even at home, I'm like a bird in a cage. Don't interrupt me, I understand."
As she spoke, Nion sat down and began counting on her fingers.
"I know my Nen ability is very strong and attracts a lot of attention."
"Besides, the company is too big, and I'm my father's daughter, so I attract a lot of attention. There will always be some stupid people who do foolish things."
"You're all doing this to protect me. I'm just describing it this way, understand? I don't care."
As he spoke, he stood up and spun around twice.
"It's so nice here. There are no idiots or fools, and huge monsters that you can't even see on TV. Everything is so interesting, and everything is huge, like being in a land of giants."
"And I can even be a fortune teller here. Everyone is confused and needs fortune telling for spiritual support. Isn't that interesting?"
Kurapika looked at Nion's smile and finally realized that the smile was genuine.
Nion is perhaps more comfortable living here than she would at the Manor.
They might even be able to fulfill their dreams.
The emotions you two are exuding at this moment are truly moving.
Suddenly, the Wearer Ghost spoke up from the side.
The two, who were embracing and gazing lovingly into each other's eyes, suddenly shuddered, remembering that there was another person beside them.
Kurapika looked at the Wearer Ghost with a hint of helplessness.
I don't know how it happened, Wearer Ghost seems to have recently learned a new ability.
That is, once you stay quietly in an environment for a long time, you will become integrated into that environment and lose yourself in it.
Consciously ignore it.
Biscuit said it was very likely that the Nen ability of that body had been developed by the Wearer Ghost.
"Don't even think about messing with the two of us."
Nion stood with her hands on her hips, frowning as she spoke.
Recently Wearer Ghost has been staying at her place.
Everyone got to know each other well.
She felt that the life forms of Wearer Ghost and Slash Ghost were still a bit too distorted.
Using another person's corpse, one completely impersonates that person.
It's chilling to even think about.
"Don't worry, I was just saying. Your two aren't high priority, they're not even in the middle tier."
The Wearer Ghost gestured with his finger.
The body she is currently using is the female body from the pair Kevin brought back.
Perhaps because there were quite a few humans in the Small Town, the Wearer Ghost, after staying there for a long time, finally learned to make human expressions.
His speech began to have intonation and emotion, and his facial expressions became more varied, instead of sounding like a robot that made people feel uncomfortable.
After saying that, the Wearer Ghost pointed to the doorway.
"The one who just left was more interesting than either of you."
She's become picky now.
As he spoke, he leaned back in his chair, spread his arms, and looked completely absorbed.
"This place is really interesting. I'll follow you from now on. Everyone who comes here has such touching emotions; it's truly captivating."
Nion was a little unhappy, pouting.
"Don't judge them casually; they just need support, and my divination will support them."
"That's what makes humans interesting; the power of the mind and emotions is so strong and powerful, illusory yet fragile, fragile yet resilient."
The Wearer Ghost started talking nonsense again.
Kurapika reassured Nion, ignoring the Wearer Ghost beside him.
"I thought these V6 members wouldn't really believe your prediction."
Hearing this, Nion's mood was indeed diverted. She poked Kurapika's chest with her hand and said with dissatisfaction.
"Idiot, can't you see? They're not stupid."
Which member chosen for the Dark Continent wasn't an elite? Which one didn't possess basic logic and rational thinking?
"They certainly understand that my Prophecy Poem are only a reference; change doesn't necessarily mean something is better, but rather they can be used as informational references."
This problem arose because of the deaths of those five people.
Nion's Nen ability are protected and hidden.
But that was in human society.
Various forms of harassment are impossible to guard against and are extremely annoying.
But it's different here. This is their territory, and there's no point in being as cautious in your words and actions as you are there.
That's unfair to Nion too.
Nion possessed this Nen ability, she longed to perform divination for others.
Therefore, divination was performed and written down for many V6 members at that time.
But the deaths of those five people were all outside the scope of the Prophecy Poem.
The prophecy did not foretell their death; rather, they were transformed and changed because of the prophecy.
Death occurs when luck changes.
Kevin and his team already understood this.
These elite members of V6 were well aware that this was the price of Nen ability.
Perfect Nen ability are always accompanied by a variety of problems.
Moreover, the prophecy is indeed correct; if you do nothing and are unaware of the prophecy, its contents will be fulfilled.
The prophecy refers to that very moment. Once you see the prophecy, it has already changed because your heart has also begun to change involuntarily along with it.
The future then returned to chaos.
So-called prophecies are merely advance intelligence.
No one would blame the deaths of those five people on the inaccuracy of Nion's prophecy.
The futures of even more people have proven his predictions remarkably accurate.
As long as the correct parts of the content can be deciphered, that's sufficient.
At that moment, the curtain was lifted.
"Nion, I'm here!"
Lorraine ran in.
Nion rushed over, and the two embraced tightly.
Bianluoke followed his sister in.
I took a look around the area.
If you turn off the lights, it actually looks quite realistic.
Then he saw the Wearer Ghost beside him, and a hint of unease flashed across his face.
The Wearer Ghost smiled brightly when he saw the two of them and waved.
Lorraine also saw the Wearer Ghost clothes waving and greeting him.
"What are your wishes? I can help you fulfill them."
"Hehe----No need, I'm perfectly fine now."
Bianluoke answered with an awkward laugh.
Every time he saw them, they would ask, which made it so that Bianluoke could only take a detour and try his best not to run into them.
Lorraine smiled and said, "Not yet, but I'll let you know if I do."
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it."
In the list of those Wearer Ghost, this brother and sister belong to the top tier, even above Netero.
Because these are two people, and two emotions intertwined, Wearer Ghost obtains the item, it can travel between their bodies, feel each other's emotions, and change because it knows the other's emotions.
The complexity and richness of their emotions make the two individuals' importance greater than the sum of their individual parts (1+1>2).
Therefore, Bianluoke felt somewhat uncomfortable in front of the other party.
No one feels comfortable staring at your corpse.
Lorraine didn't care much about these things, since the other party had helped her repair her soul.
If she really dies one day, then take her body if you want.
At this moment, Kevin, who had finished his whale banquet outside, came in with Melusina.
I also took a look at the environment here.
This was his first time visiting the fortune-telling shop since it opened.
That seems pretty convincing.
"Can you do a fortune telling for me too?"
Nion looked Kevin up and down and shook her head.
"No, you don't need fortune telling, go away."
"Why? Surely it can be divined without a result?"
Kevin sat in his seat, arms crossed, and said with dissatisfaction.
If it's because of his ability, then forget it.
"Stop looking down on me. Divination is for those who are lost. You're not lost at all. You're just trying to make fun of me. I won't let you."
I, Nion, am a renowned diviner, and I have my pride.
"Okay, okay, I'll increase your training intensity tomorrow."
Kevin immediately stood up and threatened him.
Nion ignored him completely, threw herself into Melusina's arms and began to cry, pointing and gesturing at Kevin.
Melusina glared at Kevin as well.
"It should be described as Restriction; from the very beginning, I Restriction my profession and my mindset."
Biscuit had somehow slipped in, suddenly spoke up from the side.
"Of course I know, I just wanted to tease her."
With so much training, Nion's strength has also increased, but Nion's Nen ability is too powerful.
In cases where someone impulsively develops a desire for direct, autonomous awakening of Nen ability after watching a fortune-telling program on television, the Restriction are extremely exaggerated.
Even with nearly 400,000 Nen, Nion's strength is still no match for an ordinary Nen user is more focused on combat.
But this doesn't mean Nion's abilities can't grow.
Her Nen ability began to truly transform her into a fortune teller.
Aside from the exaggerated Lovely Ghostwriter.
Under normal circumstances, using normal divination methods, Nion can also perform divination.
But like a normal fortune teller, the answer given was vague and ambiguous.
But it is undoubtedly correct.
It's truly a valuable resource.
It doesn't have the kind of exaggerated, definitively decipherable nature of [Lovely Ghostwriter], nor does it provide any intelligence support.
After all, the fundamental reason Nion awakened this Nen ability was that she genuinely believed divination provided spiritual support to others.
It brings good things and dispels his confusion about his career.
The foreseeable future, though vague, is the greatest support.
Especially on the Dark Continent.
This is a situation where there is immense external pressure, and there is a pressing need for exploration.
Various psychological problems must be faced squarely.
And Nion's divination inexplicably solved this problem perfectly.
To be honest, this was an outcome Kevin and the others hadn't anticipated after bringing Nion here.
