Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 354: How to Win Over Beatrice?

"That is the power of Father!" Muru replied.

This answer left Beatrice somewhat bewildered.

She is also an artificially created elf, and calls Echidna, who created her, her mother.

After the establishment of the Sanctuary, he made a verbal agreement with Echidna to protect the Forbidden Library until that person's "arrival".

And she had a "Gospel" in her possession.

But unlike the one in Roswaal's hand, the Gospel in her hand no longer shows her the "future".

It was just a blank page.

However, this was just a "mischievous quirk" of Echidna's; the so-called "that person" was something Beatrice herself could decide for herself.

This brief moment of distraction was because of a very similar feeling.

Beatrice immediately understood what Muroo's father was.

Isn't it here?

Beatrice couldn't sense where Muroo's father was.

"Why did he send you here?" Beatrice's previously "quiet" heart suddenly stirred.

"My father said there was a lot of knowledge here, so he sent me here," Mulu replied.

This made Beatrice even more excited, because she felt that the elf's father was very similar to her mother, both of them having a great thirst for knowledge!

Could the other person be "the one" that I've been hoping for?

While thinking about this, Beatrice took out her Gospel book again and started to read it, but the Gospel book was still blank, with nothing on it.

Why is this happening?

"Can I read the books here?" Muru asked.

Beatrice kept flipping through the pages, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

"See?" Beatrice was disappointed once again.

Beatrice was kinder to the elves.

A small drum was materialized, and then it was gently tapped.

A book flew off the bookshelf and Mulu quickly flipped through it.

Meanwhile, in another world, Lucci is making copies, albeit in a script he doesn't recognize at all.

Unable to understand.

But it doesn't matter, the omnipotent Holy Grail will solve everything.

The page scrolling speed is very fast.

It takes about 5 minutes to finish a book.

Beatrice, who had fallen silent again, noticed Muroo's behavior and suddenly remembered.

"Are you in contact with your father now?"

"Yes, I'm just responsible for transmitting the images."

Generally speaking, the knowledge in this forbidden library cannot be circulated freely. Even if Roswaal did not have her orders, he could not trespass here and spread the knowledge contained therein.

Of course, Beatrice didn't know at this time that the current Roswaal was also her former friend.

Where is your father?

Beatrice asked with some curiosity.

"Oh, Father isn't in this world. I'm unlucky; the contractor I'm following has actually been transported to this other world."

While answering, Muru also inadvertently revealed Subaru Natsuki's identity.

Not in this world? Another world?

As an elf who had lived for over a hundred years, Beatrice immediately understood the meaning of those words.

"So you're an elf from another world. No wonder I can't sense any magic in you."

"Magic? In my world, the power we use is called air, which can also be called magic."

Soon, the book in front of Mu Lu flew back to the bookshelf, and another book flew to his front.

Although she recently saw her brother whom she hadn't seen in a long time, she didn't want to disturb or influence him because he had lost some of his memories and had found his own goals.

Lonely Beatrice rarely sees someone of her own kind, and she can't help but talk more.

Of course, she was mainly asking various questions.

Learn about Lucci's existence.

Beatrice learned Lucci's name. Of course, in Murru's description, Lucci was an omnipotent being and the most powerful person in the world.

Of course, under Lucci's guidance, Mulu also asked some questions.

Although Beatrice didn't reveal everything about herself, she did say a few things.

"So you've lived this long, haven't you? We music spirits were only recently created by our father."

"Were all the books here collected by your mother?"

Beatrice gave him an affirmative answer.

"But this library doesn't seem very big. You've lived here for over a hundred years, haven't you added any new books or knowledge to it?"

Although it is merely a human-created spirit, it is bound by an "agreement" and awaits that person.

But judging from Beatrice's brief account of her experiences, it seems that hundreds of years were wasted.

"Oh, that's what Father asked," Mulu pointed out at the opportune moment.

As expected, the father Mulu mentioned was able to see this place.

This method and ability are quite powerful, after all, Muru said that Lucci is in another world.

The power of observing another world from the perspective of another world is evident.

"You're not really just going to stay here as a librarian because of the promise, are you? That would be so boring. Since you're waiting, you should be able to decide how you want to wait."

Beatrice once stayed in the library, where the Gospels also contained "prophecies." Acting according to the prophecies made Beatrice feel as if her mother was still alive.

But when the Gospels stopped being displayed, she seemed to completely lose her "physiological functions".

They are no longer able to make decisions for themselves.

"Since your mother enjoys collecting knowledge, you can fill that void yourself. Besides, as an elf, don't you enjoy studying magic?"

Muroo's words silenced Beatrice.

Over the past few centuries, not no one has ever come to the Forbidden Library, nor has no one ever tried to take themselves away.

But because the Gospels had not shown it, she refused them all.

But no one ever allowed Beatrice to continue "waiting," or to do anything while she continued "waiting."

Yes! She can continue to wait, but while she waits, she can also do other things.

One of them was to fill the forbidden library with knowledge, making it larger, and this one interested Beatrice.

After all, my mother used to love collecting knowledge, so this is a kind of inheritance for me.

At least it revitalized Beatrice's previously somewhat "lifeless" spirit.

"Oh, these are all things Father said."

Lucci admits that he has some feelings for Beatrice, but opening her heart is not so easy.

Lucci planned to take things slowly.

Neither of them were human, and neither of them felt tired.

They spent the night exchanging ideas in the forbidden library.

Lucci was looking forward to Roswaal's appearance, and he was curious whether the Gospel in Roswaal's hand would reveal information related to him.
