"Um...can you allow me to explain?"
Long shrugged his shoulders and said shamelessly, "I am a scholar... I have a strong desire to explore the culture of various ethnic groups... Especially after learning about your Kuruta tribe, let me make it clear that I have no ill intentions, I am just looking for some past history. I know that your Kuruta tribe is very wary of outsiders, and I express my sympathy and condolences for your past experiences, so... I can only take action after you fall asleep..."
Long was talking nonsense in a serious manner.
"We don't welcome outsiders here... Put down what you have in your hands and leave!" the great elder scolded.
scholar?
Even though they seldom come into contact with the outside world, I've never seen any scholar in a suit and tie... No matter how you look at this guy, he doesn't look like a scholar at all.
Being touched here by an outsider is already an extremely huge risk.
"Don't worry, I won't reveal your location. Correspondingly...can you give me this book? Rubbings are also fine. It would be great if you could translate it for me. I can pay for it..."
Long has fully demonstrated shamelessness to the extreme.
"Or... let's make friends. I'll keep the book, but I need to know what's written on it... and the background about your Kuruta tribe. Are you native Luxon people? Or... did your ancestors migrate here from other places?" Long asked.
The elder hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I'll say it one last time, put your things down and leave here!"
"It seems... the negotiations have failed... ah..."
Long sighed and stuffed the book into his clothes.
This action made the Great Elder's eyelids jump.
"I'll borrow it for a while. I'll send it back to you after I'm done..."
He unilaterally issued the notice and decision!
Robbery style!
"..."
"You bastard!"
"Do it!"
The great elder gave an order.
In an instant, a group of Kuruta warriors rushed towards Long, and some of their arrows were shot first.
But no one expected that the skilled warriors would be suddenly knocked to the ground just as they approached the man.
The arrows flew down and pierced the target's body, but were also bounced off one after another without causing any damage.
The eyes of the tribesmen around him turned red one after another.
Their momentum began to rise...
But the thief was so fast that he became a shadow, and he jumped out from the gap in the crowd like a black lightning, and instantly came to Kurapika, who was just over ten years old. At this moment... time seemed to slow down, and Long looked at the boy... and put something in his hand.
Then, a gust of wind blew up, ruffling Kurapika's hair.
When he came to his senses, the man had turned into a black dot, leaping and moving between several big trees like a flea... and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.
"Hurry up and chase!"
The Great Elder looked anxious.
A group of people holding torches quickly rushed in the direction the thief left...
Kurapika looked down and saw a wallet in his hand.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Kuruta tribe...
……
"Very strong... Although I held back on purpose, I also wanted to make them unable to move. It seems that the effect is smaller than expected... After activating the Red Eyes, their blood and physical strength have obviously been further improved... Even if they didn't completely restrain their aura, they were able to detect this, which shows that some of them have very sharp perceptions... No wonder they left an impression on the brigade..."
Long's figure was moving through the woods like a ghost. He looked back and smiled.
He doesn’t understand the language of the Kuruta tribe… but there must be others who can understand it. At worst… we still have V5…
His intuition told him that this book...had some value.
Chapter 59 No. 001
V5 is blocking information and intelligence about the Dark Continent, and prohibits the outside world from knowing anything about the Dark Continent.
This book about the Kurta clan might be a bit troublesome... so the best way is to use the power of the mafia to hire some real linguists to analyze it... if that doesn't work, then catch another Kurta clan member... and then you can get in touch with Kurapika.
If we contact V5 rashly, once the information in this book is leaked, it will be a hidden danger to both the Long and Kuruta tribes.
"Hmm... should we... find a way to infiltrate V5..."
The next day, in a city outside the Luxembourg area, Long sat in a street corner, drinking coffee, watching the people coming and going, thinking in his heart.
His purpose of becoming one of the Ten Elders was to be able to get in touch with V5. If he had his own people in V5, it would be very convenient for him to become a hunter or do something in the future. The most important thing was that he was not bound by any constraints... But if he wanted to truly have the right to speak, ordinary V5 officials were not qualified.
If V5 was so easy to infiltrate, people like Bi Yangde, Pariston, and even the president, who have strength and skills, would not be restricted by others.
Actually, there is a way in my mind...
That is the same as the Kajin Empire, forcing V5 to humble itself and try to absorb it... and become V6.
To achieve this effect, you need to have a country first, and the country's size and influence must be strong. In this way...
"Developing a country..." He smiled silently, his head hurting a little.
This is not just talk. To actually do it is ten or a hundred times more difficult than joining a gang and becoming one of the ten old men. The time and energy consumed is also unimaginable.
Let’s forget it for now.
"First rely on quantity... to gain a certain amount of personal connections..."
Thinking of this, Long called David.
Let him collect a list of officials within the V5 agency and try to win them over by using the identity of the Fields family... no matter how big or small their official titles are.
After listening to this, David understood Long's intention, and also said that placing spies in V5 is not a matter of one day or one night, and it may take a long time... Especially, as a gangster, they are not in an advantageous position. If some big shots know about their little actions, they may be in trouble.
In the early stage, we can only focus on ordinary people who do basic work in v5...
Long chose to believe in his and Felslily's ability to do things. At least with the background of the Fels family, he already had the most basic conditions to communicate with them... As for time, Long could wait.
When one reaches a certain level of status and position, money is no longer everything... but with the resources and manpower of the gang, one can help some small characters in v5 to deal with many things, such as those involving some private aspects, which is still quite advantageous.
As long as you are a human being, you have selfish desires and selfishness...
After building a certain network of relationships, I will choose to support a small person to rise to the top little by little...
David also mentioned Hisoka...
The latter stayed for only a week before leaving the palace.
After explaining everything, Long hung up the phone... This is the benefit of controlling a force. He doesn't have to worry about many things and can focus all his energy on his own practice. From this perspective... it was worth it that he had been in the gang for nearly a year, and the decision he made was a wise one.
"It's almost time to take the Hunter Exam. Let's join the Association first..."
After drinking the coffee, Long smiled slightly, got up and left.
During these two months, he had a relatively leisurely life. Apart from the episode with Hisoka, he felt much more relaxed and happy, which was completely different from when he was in the mafia. In addition, he had also mastered the breathing technique... Although it was not yet fully developed, he was very skilled at it, which could be considered a small success... His temperament and flesh and blood had been improved to a certain extent. Overall, this should be the most leisurely time since he came to the Hunter World.
Once you become a hunter, you will definitely be busy again.
So tiring…
Becoming stronger and growing is not that easy after all.
……
The 281st Hunter Exam was held in the continent of Yubian. All applicants had to pass several preliminary selections before arriving at the venue. But Long already knew the final venue in advance.
Bangi City is a small city close to the Gordo Desert, not far from Youksin.
Why did Long know this... Because he called Yun Gu and asked the latter to ask Bisiji. The two did not talk directly. It was Bisiji who asked Yun Gu to tell Long that although Long could easily become a hunter with his level, the rules are the rules and cannot be broken... Anyway, he said a lot of things and finally gave an address.
When Oboro left the Sky Arena, Bisky thought he would go to take the Hunter Exam, and even communicated with the president Netero about it. But who would have thought... this kid disappeared somewhere, and there has been no news of him since... Later, the president told her that Oboro seemed to have joined the mafia, and became the leader of the underground forces, one of the Ten Old Men.
These are not secrets...On the Hunter website, as long as you have money, you can find all the information, but you can only find some of the deeds related to the Firth family. After Long became the Ten Old Men, it is more difficult to find out relevant information...First, the gang is deliberately erasing the information related to the Ten Old Men, and protecting them in disguise. Second, if you want to find out information at the level of the Ten Old Men, the money you have to spend will be astronomical.
Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. For people like Netero and Zoldyck, the gangs are not V5, so there is no secret.
The Fels family rose too quickly, and Long rarely showed up in front of outsiders... Now the head of the family in public is David.
Therefore, there are some blanks in his background... In addition, the Fields family intends to clean up "traces of his existence". I believe that with David joining the Ten Old Men, he will be a transparent person in a few years.
There will still be some people who know him, but the number will be minimized.
From Yun Gu's retelling of Bisiji's tone, it seemed that she was very dissatisfied with Long for having one foot in the mafia, and thought that he was wasting his time... She undoubtedly hoped that Long would join the Hunter Association as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the old woman would feel somewhat uneasy.
This is also what Yun Gu told Long.
However, what Oboro cares more about is... Netero.
The old man seems to be paying attention to me all the time?
It can be heard that Yun Gu, as the middleman, is very embarrassed... He suggests that Long should call Bisiji personally to communicate.
But he didn't expect that Long just said thank you to him and turned off the phone.
"..."
Cloud ancient.
Then, Oboro took the spaceship directly to Bangji City.
The Hunter Exam has already begun, and as long as it begins... the venue will always be open to the public and cannot be closed.
“I should be the first one to arrive…”
Under the scorching sun, Long walked out of the spaceship terminal, glanced at the big sun above his head, loosened his collar, and grinned.
What he did was considered "blatant" cheating.
Although Biscuit emphasized that the rules should not be broken, Long didn't care about that...
Letting him play games with a group of 'primary school students'...boring.
The city of Bangui is very small, only the size of two or three towns, and even the terminal is inconspicuous. Because it is close to the Gordo Desert, the climate here is hot... Normally, there are few tourists visiting. At noon, there are few people on the streets.
