Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 297 The Art of Enchanting Weapons

Rustle

It was the small drops that emerged from the curtain of shadows of the woods.

She adjusted her black-framed glasses that were a little crooked on her nose, pulled up her jeans, lowered her head and blinked, then zipped up her pants.

The whole set of movements is a bit indecent, but when she does it, it looks very cute.

She glanced around and was about to leave when she made eye contact with Biscuit, who was standing not far away holding a wooden basin with the water for washing feet emptied out.

"Xiao Di? Why are you here?"

"I……"

Xiaodi tried to use everything she had learned in her life to think of a perfect reason, but then her mind went blank and her eyes went blank.

There didn't seem to be any good reason, and why should I look for one?

Xiaodi blinked her big eyes and thought quite righteously.

Biscuit looked at Xiaodi curiously.

She actually just met her just now and asked casually, but Xiaodi's subsequent reaction made her suspicious, and she couldn't help but look her up and down.

"There are fallen leaves on your head... and why are your cheeks so red? Do you have a fever? Do you need Sambika to come over and take a look?"

Xiaodi raised her eyes and saw nothing. Then she reached out and patted her short black hair, and sure enough, she patted off a withered, curled leaf.

Did it fall on your head when you were rolling around, or did it fall on your head when you were walking out of the woods just now?
Xiaodi doesn't remember.

"I'm fine."

She stressed that she did not have a fever, although her temperature was indeed frighteningly high not long ago, but it has now come down.

Xiaodi obediently put her hands behind her back, pursed her lips, and had no intention of explaining further.

She felt that she had become a bit of a bad person, probably because of Germann, and was not as honest as before.

If it were in the past, she would have described to Bisiji everything that had just happened in detail.

At that time, she didn’t know what “shy” was. Maybe now she is what is called “growing up”?
Xiaodi thought silently, and some images flashed through her mind, including what she saw: Germain's lips, earlobes, chest, fingers, arms...

Hmm... am I back too early?

Biscuit continued to ask questions.

"Really? I just saw you coming out of the woods, pulling up your pants and zipping them up...ah..."

Biscuit suddenly showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

"So that's how it is... No, Xiaodi, no matter how anxious you are, this place is not far from the toilet. You can't relieve yourself outside."

"You are a girl after all. What would you do if someone saw you, especially Germain?"

As Xiaodi listened, she looked confused, then strange.

Hmm... Never mind. Germain is right. It might be difficult to explain...

Biscuit held the basin in one hand and pointed with the other hand at the room shared by her, Xiaodi, Sambika and Menqi.

"Let's go back to the room first. By the way, did you wash your hands? You should have, right? Oh, just wash them. Really, don't pee outside next time..."
-
On the other side, Germain also returned to the room.

He stayed in the same stone house with Jin and Buhara tonight.

As soon as Germain walked into the stone house, he saw Jin flipping through the "Greed Island Cards" in front of the fireplace, and Buhala enjoying his midnight snack at the long table.

"You're back, Germain."

Buhara greeted him with a smile while stuffing a piece of food that looked like bread into his mouth.

He ate the most at the Moon Sacrifice just now, but unexpectedly he was still not full and wanted a snack after coming back.

German was not surprised by Buhala's appetite and just replied to him with a normal expression.

"Hey, Germain, come here!" King called out excitedly, urging Germain to come to him, "I have good news."

German picked up a wooden chair nearby and sat down.

The back of the wooden chair was cut into the shape of deer antlers, giving him the strange feeling of sitting on a throne.

"What good news?"

“Look at these cards…”

Germain glanced at the cards in Jin's hand: "They are all "Alchemical Plant Series Cards", what's wrong, is there any problem?"

"It's a big problem."

Jin stretched out his right index finger and waved it gently as a gesture of denial.

"We've all used it to varying degrees recently, but to be honest, it's a little weaker than the 'cure-all' herb."

"I suspect that the missing part of the "Alchemical Plants" chapter in the "Eastern Fragments" must be the method of "enchantment." Jin was right.

When Germain defeated the "Painful Bloodthirsty Apostle of the Ancient Labyrinth" again, he tried to use the "Alchemical Plant Series Cards".

However, the role they play is a bit tasteless and a pity to throw away, and they cannot achieve the effect of "alchemical enchantment" mentioned by Dong in "Dong Pian Fragments".

Jin, Xiaodi, Biscuit, Menqi, Buhala and Sambika also used the "Alchemical Plant Series Cards" one after another.

Their comments after using it were similar, they felt it was okay, but it did not meet their expectations.

Jin smiled and said, "Just now, I was chatting with the brothers Scela and Chiholshi, and then we mentioned "alchemical plants."

"I thought at the time that Dong should have obtained the "alchemical plants" just like us, and should have used them before, so he should have come to a similar conclusion."

"That is, if the 'alchemical plant' is used directly, it is not as useful as imagined. It dissipates more than imagined..."

"But, in our last speculation, we believed that he had gone to the Gray Desert again and picked the "alchemical plants."

"This means that he has not given up on the "Alchemical Plant."

"That is to say, the 'Alchemical Plant' may have played a role in his hands. It is worth it for him to go to the Gray Desert again and defeat the 'Disease Spreader'."

"So, I asked Scela and Chiholshi whether Dong had used the "Alchemical Plant" in front of them, and I got the answer I wanted."

"German, go to bed early tonight. We will go find Scela and Chiholshi early tomorrow morning. They promised to take us to find the 'skills' that Dong left behind."
-
The next day, Scela and Chiholshi brought German, Jin and others to an old craftsman in their tribe.

"My scimitar, 'Blood Sacrifice of the Moon', was made by Mshiha." Qihorshi said, pointing at the slightly fat moose centaur in front of him.

The old craftsman Mushiha is a big and strong man. His whole body looks like it is covered with oil. His skin is bronze, his muscles are well-developed and his hair is thick.

When he saw everyone coming over, he caught sight of German in the crowd and his eyes widened immediately.

"You are Mr. Germain, the one who wielded the Holy Moonlight Greatsword and defeated Chiholshi at the Moon Festival, right?"

Surprisingly, Mshiha's human language is more proficient than anyone else's in the Moose Centaur Tribe so far.

After receiving a positive response from German, Mshiha showed a happy expression.

"I have always wanted to engrave the power of the moon on weapons."

"It's a pity that I couldn't do it. I didn't expect to see the "Holy Moonlight Greatsword" last night! That was really, really great!"

"If I can find a way to forge a 'Holy Moonlight Greatsword', I will have no regrets."

Sisaira followed Mushiha's words and said, "Dong has been friends with our tribe for one or two hundred years. He has taught us a lot."

He patted Mshiha's shoulder and said, "Among them, he taught Mshiha's ancestors how to enchant weapons."

Mshiha stroked his big beard that looked like a hemp rope and pointed at Chikhorshi with a smile.

"He, 'Blood Sacrifice of the Moon', I gave him 'enchantment', the power of 'blood'... and amplified the scimitar."

It turns out that Mshiha’s bloodline is particularly close to Dong, and his ancestors learned the correct way of "enchantment" from Dong.

In order to better pass on this skill and to better communicate with Dong, Mshiha's ancestors have been learning human language more actively than anyone else in the tribe.

This is why Mshiha speaks human language more fluently than Sisaila, Chiholshi and others.

When Mshiha made the "Moon Blood Sacrifice Scimitar" for Qikhorshi, he used "enchantment" to "enchant" the scimitar with "blood element".

The difference in power between German and Chiholch was so great that the battle ended in an instant.

Qikhorshi did not have the opportunity to demonstrate the scimitar's "blood enchantment", and therefore could not show its true power.

When the "Moon Blood Sacrifice Scimitar" really works, as long as the opponent is flesh and blood, the "Moon Blood Sacrifice Scimitar" can absorb the opponent's flesh and blood to nourish the scimitar itself.

What Scela and Qihorshi told Jin last night, that the "skills" left by Dong, refer to the "enchantment" that he taught to the Mshiha lineage.

Germain and Jin looked at each other, then took out the "Alchemical Plant Cards" and unlocked one of them, "Alchemical Fire Element".

Mushiha watched as they conjured up a flower bud that looked like it was a magic trick made of blood-red crystal. He was stunned after just one look.

This...isn't it...

His mouth was half open, and he didn't even speak human language anymore. Instead, he spoke a series of excited moose centaur words.

Afterwards, it was Scela who comforted him in the same Moose-Centaurant language and finally calmed him down.

"Sorry." Mshiha excitedly shook the big beard under his nose. "I haven't seen it for a long time. Only Dong has it."

"It is what our craftsmen want most."

He held the crystal flower bud in both hands as if he were holding an extremely precious treasure.

Germain glanced back.

Then, Menqi took out the double knives from the leather bag and handed them to Mushiha.

"Can you please use Alchemy Fire Element to enchant my dual blades? We want to see the enchantment process."
