The rougher the waves, the more expensive the fish.
Conversely, the more expensive the fish, it means that the waves... are rougher!
Chimera ants swallow and evolve without limits, first eating fish, then humans, and after that Nen users... the higher the "food" grade captured... the greater the potential of the offspring produced by the "Ant Queen," the stronger the power.
In other words... compared to professional Gourmet Hunters like Menchi and Buhara from the Hunter Association, ants are truly—
Gourmet Hunters!
"Gululu...." The dining cart rolled over the stone floor, producing a series of pleasant sounds.....
It's past noon, Tsubone lulled Yu Yin Canaria to sleep, went to the kitchen, and brought lunch,
Roy sat at the desk, weighed heavily on the word "Ants" with a pen, pondered for a while, and casually summoned a cluster of flames, burning the paper to ashes.
"Master, the lord ordered half a steamed fish to be delivered,"
"Just leave it there."
The flame disappeared... the young man pushed aside the chair and stood up, walking to the dining table to start eating.
The freshly steamed fish was caught by Zeno in the pool,
it wasn't killed by the shockwave during the battle between me and Silva, yet it died on the dining table; really, it's hard to say whether that's its luck or misfortune... Roy took the chopsticks handed over by Tsubone, peeled a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, tasted it lightly, fresh and tender, without the special fishy smell of sea fish, obviously the kitchen did put effort into it, nodded satisfactorily and said: "Send a message to that Hunter named Kate, just tell him... I already know,"
"Once he makes progress, just notify me,"
The young man quickly ate the fish clean, only the fish tail bones remained, lying lonely on the plate, saying: "I don't mind going down the mountain for a little break."
"Yes," Tsubone responded respectfully, focusing on "Kate," thinking... it seems the master is very concerned about that biological control group, while handing Roy a bowl of rice, saying: "Master, aside from Kate, just earlier, the one named 'Ging' you mentioned last time, also called."
"Speak,"
Tsubone's expression was strange, "He said if you are free recently, he wants you to try playing the game he newly developed...."
Roy raised his eyebrow, calculating the time, with Gon and Killua being born one after another, "Greed Island" being completed at this point isn't surprising... it's just that,
he doesn't have the leisure time to play Ging's games aimed at trapping his son, saying there's something in "Greed Island" that could attract him, only those strange [cards] are left!
Such as [Along the Way],
Such as [One Square of Coastline],
Such as [Breath of the Archangel],
Such as [Blessing of the Ruler], etc., explicitly and implicitly enhancing his understanding of "Nenryoku," somewhat useful.
Roy took a bite of rice with a piece of braised pork, without thinking, directly refused....
Tsubone raised an eyebrow again, strangely saying: "Master, that Ging said he knew you would refuse, so he asked if you have any plans for a trip recently."
"Why?"
The old butler with two pigtails spoke cautiously, "He said even if you don't play the game, for the sake of once breaking out of prison together, invite you to a place."
"Where?" Roy's chopsticks paused, faintly sensing something, glancing over casually,
Tsubone appeared solemn, slowly uttering four words.... "Dark Continent!"
"He wants to invite the master to accompany him to find his wife!"
"Don't go...." An ethereal voice swiftly penetrated the thick wall.....
At this moment, it seemed to reveal that overwhelming fist once more, suffocatingly pressing towards the spirit.....
Roy spread his hands, splitting a glance towards the dimly lit room, speaking warmly: "You've heard everything."
Tsubone bowed distantly towards the east, then straightened up, saying solemnly: "I will refuse him immediately."
Roy thoughtfully nodded, recalling the clear cold face seen in Ging's heart, indeed... only a woman from that place could tether a wanderer's heart!
'Is her name Viviane....' The young man resumed his chopsticks, silently tossed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, after a moment spoke leisurely: "By the way, prepare a pot of chrysanthemums, Grandpa Jager's memorial day is coming, I don't want him to say I'm undisciplined."
When Jager was mentioned, Tsubone clearly faltered for a moment, reminiscing that glorious past, as if in front of his eyes,
lowered his head silently and said: "Yes."
"I will specifically instruct the florist to note the master's name."
"It's not necessary." Roy waved his hand: "Grandpa Jager knows, it's me, it's Illumi, it's Milluki, it's Killua... no difference...."
"It's not the same," Tsubone right hand on heart, solemnly saluted: "The master is the master, Master Illumi is Master Illumi, I will instruct them to prepare a pot for them too."
[Reminder: "Power Of Faith" +7... Detecting "Faithful" Tsubone has already returned, awaiting conversion....]
Roy put down his chopsticks, glanced at the old butler, Tsubone as tall as a gorilla, in terms of build no less to Silva, not even Beginners like Biscuit could surpass,
only lacking in talent... Roy used Nen Line instead of sword, inconspicuously splitting a thread of Nen, gently left a mark on the old butler's left and right shoulders, raised a hand lightly, then... cast a "Wind Spiral" gently lifting her....
"You are thoughtful," the young man with bright silver hair cascading down his back, the tips shimmering with brilliant gold light, kindly looked at this legendary person from the Zoldyck household's managerial realm, smiled warmly: "I think when Grandpa Jager returns and sees you healthy and still active at home, he will surely be pleased."
