Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 162 The Book of Sacrifice

After Yonex Conrad finished speaking, it was then Shariel's turn.

He was referring to his "commission".

It was much more detailed than what Ye Tai had said before.

His "commission" comes from the Kingdom of Kukanyu, one of the five great nations.

His female companion was named Bessie Copperfield Stacy.

The Stacey family, an ancient noble family from the Kingdom of Kukanyou.

Charlier didn't know much about this family, but he knew they had a powerful influence in the Kingdom of Kukanyou.

The problem he wanted to solve was a relic called the "Book of Sacrifice".

Charlier wasn't sure if it was a Nen tool or not, but it certainly had powerful abilities.

The Book of Sacrifice was a heirloom of the Stacy family, which Bessie stole, or more accurately, took out.

Because this book temporarily belongs to Bessie.

This "Book of Sacrifice" is a heirloom of the Stacy family. It can be used to sacrifice the life of a family member to help other family members awaken Nen and gain powerful Nen abilities.

Upon hearing this introduction, Lucci's first thought was of the "Mind Pot" from the Kakin Empire.

Is it a similar existence?

Sure enough, noble families from ancient countries with deep-rooted traditions would certainly have or be familiar with these kinds of things.

Bessie, whom Charlier mentioned, naturally did not want to bear this "mission".

She was still very young and had no desire to shoulder this family responsibility.

Of course, most importantly, she is not a direct descendant of the main family, but a member of a branch family.

And not everyone can offer sacrifices to that Book of Sacrifice.

Firstly, it has a time limit for use, and the sacrifices are also targeted. However, neither Bessie nor the other members of the Stacy family know what the selection mechanism is.

Without interrupting Charlier, Lucci continued listening.

He has already become interested in this "Book of Sacrifice".

Bessie, naturally, could not escape the Stacy family's search and was found, which led to the much-anticipated battle.

How could she and Charlier possibly be a match for a powerful family like the Stacys, not to mention that they could, to some extent, mobilize the power of the state?

To protect Charriel, Bessie had to use the power of the "Book of Sacrifice".

Then, for some unknown reason, the "Book of Sacrifice" erupted, and a powerful Nen ability enveloped the town where they were located.

The entire town has been transformed into a "magical realm".

The reason Sharil was able to escape alive was because Bessie still possessed consciousness and sent him out of the town shrouded in the power of the "Book of Sacrifice".

Then he was captured by the Stacy family.

Next, the Stacy family wanted to resolve the problems caused by the "Book of Sacrifice" and take it back.

Then many people died.

Those who entered the "Demon Realm" never returned.

Subsequently, the Stacy family simply had someone take Charril into that "enchanted land".

The place has been completely transformed into a strange and eerie place, inhabited by many bizarre monsters.

This caused heavy losses to the Stacy family.

Only Charlier escaped unharmed.

This situation naturally leads one to realize that Bessie is still alive, or more accurately, still possesses her own consciousness and is capable of protecting Shariel.

He and some members of the Stacy family escaped the Demon Realm alive.

The Stacy family, however, could not give up and began to mobilize other forces, the first of which were exorcists.

The power of the "Book of Sacrifice" also belongs to Nen, and it can be affected by methods of dispelling Nen.

Unfortunately, the exorcist they found was completely helpless against this demonic realm formed by thoughts; to solve the problem, they had to enter the demonic realm.

But to enter it is tantamount to suicide.

Charlier also wanted to solve the problem and entered the Demon Realm several times, but in the end the Stacy family wouldn't let him enter anymore.

They wouldn't even let him near the town.

He also indicated that if he wanted to solve the problem, he should become a hunter.

The story is over.

Meanwhile, Tai was pondering why the Stacy family had let Shariel go so easily, and even made him a hunter.

Because of my doubts, I simply asked.

"I suspect they reached some kind of agreement with Bessie. We once said we would take the Hunter Exam together."

Although he didn't know Bessie's situation, it was definitely not good.

Because the strange monsters inside began attacking him on his subsequent visits to the demonic realm.

This indicates that Bessie's control is weakening, and it's even possible that Bessie's will is weakening.

This is what worries him the most.

Of course, this was just his guess, but Shariel believed it wholeheartedly, because under normal circumstances, the Stacy family would not let him go.

He was well aware of the nature of these great noble families.

"Lord Lucci, if you're willing to help, I'll sell my life to you." Sharil knelt directly in front of Lucci.

Lucci, on the other hand, was deep in thought.

First, there was the "Book of Sacrifice," and then there was the Stacy family.

He is very interested in this book, and he will not give up the opportunity to get his hands on it.

However, there is a bit of trouble. This Stacy family seems to be very powerful, a behemoth in the Kingdom of Kukanyou.

If you try to steal the heirloom of another family, they won't give up easily.

One wrong move could trigger an international conflict, and they themselves could become terrorists.

Lucci wasn't afraid, but rather afraid of disrupting his plans.

This has impacted the development of Sky Arena.

"I'm very interested in this, but I need to do some research first." Lucci agreed to the matter.

Then it was time to learn about the Stacy family.

You can simply purchase the relevant information directly through hunter intelligence websites.

After some investigation, it was indeed discovered that this family was a behemoth with considerable influence in the business and political circles of the Kingdom of Kukanyou.

Furthermore, they have a marriage alliance with another major family in the Kingdom of Kukanyou.

Lucci tried searching for information about the "Book of Sacrifice" on the Hunter Information Website, but unfortunately no information was displayed.

However, some recent changes in the Stacy family are shown on the Hunter Information website.

A typical example is mobilizing personnel and supplies to a certain region of the Kingdom of Kukanyou.

Lucci guessed that was where the "Book of Sacrifice" had erupted.

Lucci also consulted with Chairman Netero.

Then he learned some things, such as that Netero had seen something like the "Book of Sacrifice" once or twice.

One was in an underground ruin, but it was buried deep underground. The other was in another force, something that had some connection with the afterlife.
