Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 496 Passing through the Deep Sea City
"What do you think we should name our child?"

Xiaodi asked softly while lying in German's arms. She placed her hand on her belly and stroked it, even though her pregnancy was not yet fully apparent.

Germain thought for a moment and said, "Don't call a man Ludwig, and don't call a woman Maria. Anything else is fine."

"Ah? Why? Aren't these two names nice to hear?"

German just smiled and didn't explain further. In fact, Xiaodi didn't intend to understand what that meant.

Xiaodi just tilted her head as usual and chatted calmly with German, enjoying the warmth before they parted.

Now, Germann's dream is over.

In the dream, he was still in November 2000. After waking up, he came to January 11.

German opened his eyes and got up from the bed, and found that he was neither in the New World, nor in the Transit Base Island, nor in the Boundary Gate Islands.

Yes, there are many small islands near the Boundary Gate, and it can basically be called an "archipelago".

Germain is now on the ghost ferry ship.

The V6 joint exploration team they formed left 800 people on the transit base island. These 800 people will completely renovate the island into a hub for traveling to and from the Dark Continent.

Afterwards, the remaining members of the V6 Joint Exploration Team entered the Boundary Gate and passed the Gatekeeper's Trial.

However, at the last level, the gatekeeper did not take action personally this time, and German and Bisgi, who had passed the test before, did not need to undergo a second trial.

The ones who underwent the trial this time were Jin and Mo Laowu, and they did not disappoint everyone.

The team of 200 people successfully boarded the ghost ferry and headed towards the shore of Lake Mobius. They will disembark at the coast closest to the ancient labyrinth.

Although they changed the route this time, according to the strange captain of the ferry ghost ship, they would still arrive in one day and one night.

Germain put on his clothes and walked around in the dim but unusually spacious cabin.

The rest of the team members either stayed in the cabin or in the "fourth-dimensional apartment".

Since Xiaodi couldn't come, then Nob was the best Nen user to transport the supplies, and Nob took the initiative to assume this responsibility.

As German walked past the many double beds in the cabin, he saw Xiutai Na, who had taken off his glasses, tossing and turning in bed, seemingly unable to fall asleep.

Germain could understand his nervousness.

Biscuit also used "magic beauty" on him several times to relax his body and mind.

However, these effects can only last for a short period of time, and Xutaina will soon accumulate more pressure.

As an ordinary person, even with so many Nen users around him, he would still feel afraid of the destination he was about to reach.

In the Dark Continent, he had seen too many details of horrific scenes from books, photos, and videos, and there were too many unpredictable dangers.

Xiutaina's psychological activities at this time were contradictory. He wanted to participate in this great exploration journey as a commissioner of the International Ferry Permit Office, but he was also afraid of it.

He needs more time to overcome this fear. Everyone is a little worried, but they all think that he will eventually adapt.

When Germain walked to the edge of the cabin, he saw his apprentice, Kurapika.

Because of his previous outstanding performance, Kurapika was qualified to join the V6 Joint Exploration Team.

This made Killua, Gon, Leorio and the others quite envious. They wanted to join, but were rejected by President Netero.

As a half-teacher to Killua and Gon on Greed Island, Nob comforted and encouraged them. In other words, he just made promises to them, which made them stay in the New World.

"Teacher." Kurapika was originally bending over, looking out through the porthole at the glowing sea beasts in the deep sea. When he noticed Germain, he stood up straight.

"Are you nervous?" German rarely showed concern for his disciple.

When it comes to taking care of his disciple Kurapika and his ward Killua, Germain actually does only better than Gin, so it's rare for him to ask this question.

"A little bit." Kurapika answered honestly, "Now that I've been selected for the V6 Joint Exploration Team, I hope I can play a role."

"You will play a role. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do your job well. We have many professional hunters here, you have to trust the whole team."

Except for Shutaina, more than one hundred soldiers, scientific researchers, medical teams, etc., the others are professional hunters of the Hunter Association, and they are all professional in some aspect.

German, Jin, Biscuit, Mo Laowu, Qiduo, Ge Er, Gugu, Kansai, Sambika, Menqi, Merewon, Nob, Pom, Nakulu, Xiutu, Kate, Kurapika.

This relatively young team has already covered all aspects required by an exploration team.

The most important thing is that with German as the mainstay, everyone can do things with more confidence and freedom.

Kurapika couldn't help but smile when he heard German's recognition of him.

One of the reasons why he had worked so hard for so long, passed the professional hunter exam, boarded BW1, and was promoted to a one-star hunter was because he hoped to gain German's recognition.

Now, Germain recognized him, which was the best gift for him.

When German was about to say something, he suddenly sensed something. He was stunned for a moment, then walked to the porthole and looked out.

Seeing the teacher's serious expression, Kurapika also walked over curiously.

Through the narrow perspective of the porthole, they saw the sea beasts flashing with light in the deep sea.

The sea monster with transparent skin and glowing internal organs illuminated a small area around it and also illuminated some strange protrusions.

Sharp protrusions, tall and strange statues, twisted roads, completely unreasonable spatial distribution, and a huge area that completely exceeds the coastal fortress.

At the bottom of the sea, something huge is sleeping.

"Teacher, those are not mountains under the sea, right?" Kurapika asked in a surprised tone.

"No." Germain replied, "It should be... a huge city sunk to the bottom of the sea."

"The deep sea city has been submerged in the sea for who knows how many years. When the stars gather together, the city will wake up and float to the surface, ushering in the end."

Not only did Germain obtain this "knowledge", but he also obtained a new special teleportation point - the Deep Sea City.

Soon, more and more people were attracted by the movement here and came to different portholes to look out at the ancient, looming city.

The most interesting ones are of course the "Ruin Hunter" Jin and the "Sea Hunter" Mo Laowu.

Jin even sighed: "If I go to the captain now and ask him to stop the ship so that we have a chance to go to the city and take a look, will it make us look crazy?"

"Not crazy." Mo Laowu agreed. "It's a pity that we don't have diving equipment. Even if we did, we can't handle the deep sea water pressure here."

"You're right. What a pity, what a pity."
