Hunter X Hunter: A Natural Trait Nemesis

Chapter 21 The Gloomy Deer (1/5)

"It's not important." Zhou Jue took a sip of white wine and looked nostalgic.

In his previous life, he liked to drink lightly fruity drinks.

"Really, that's not the important thing."

Palladium smiled politely and did not test or inquire. He just waved his hand in the distance and said: "Go and tell the chef that the guest's taste is salty, and you can start preparing lunch."

In the distance, a waiter bowed and walked quickly to the kitchen.

Not long after, pre-dinner bread was served.

Zhou Jue eats slowly. He now eats a lot. One meal is twice as big as an adult, and he eats five times a day.

A little pre-dinner bread is not enough to stuff between teeth.

Jerke followed suit and stumblingly ate the bread.

"Mr. Zhou Jue should have guessed my purpose of coming." Palladium smiled, and his tone was still respectful even when facing a young man several times younger than himself.

"Hunt some kind of prey." Zhou Jue nodded, "This is what I'm best at."

"Yes, a deer, named Youse Deer." Palladium said.

The Deer of Dark Color?

Next to him, Jerke was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Isn't that a legend?"

"It's a legend, but it's also true!"

Palladium's expression became serious and he said: "When I was young, I once saw that deer from a distance in the mountains. That beautiful posture is still vivid in my mind."

Jerke couldn't help but be stunned.

Have you actually seen a creature that only appears in legends?

Palladium answered Jerke's doubts, then turned to Zhou Jue and continued to say: "The Gloomy Deer, also known as the Ghost Deer, is a legend here and has a history of more than two hundred years."

"Legend has it that during extremely cold winters, a deer will appear that shines with cyan light and its horns look like a growing fluorescent plant."

"It will guide the wind and snow and bring death to living things..."

He knew that Zhou Jue was not a local, so he told the legend clearly.

Zhou Jue listened with interest.

From the origin of the legend, to the specific appearance, and the places that have appeared in history, Palladium told them one by one.

The intelligence was collected in great detail.

During this period, the main dishes were served one after another, and Zhou Jue listened while eating.

He probably knew it.

This should be a unique and dangerous creature in the Hunter world.

Although I don’t know if I have Mastery Nian, I definitely have special power.

There are records of the Gloomy Deer appearing several times in history and taking away the lives of all the villagers in nearby villages, but the most recent one was seventy years ago, and most of the people who knew about it have died.

Palladium hired Zhou Jue to hunt the Silk Deer and get him the beautiful antlers like fluorescent plants on his head.

The employment amount is 50 million ring nini.

"But Mr. Palladium, according to legend, the Gloomy Deer will only appear in particularly cold winters." Jerke was a little confused and asked: "Why are you sure it is this winter?"

“And why Zhou Jue?”

"With your financial resources, you should be able to hire more people to hunt the Gloomy Deer, right?"

This is a question for Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue listened and looked at Palladium.

"Because this year a white angel bird is flying here."

Palladium replied calmly: "This kind of bird will only come with the cold current when the extreme western cold current spreads here, so this winter will be extremely cold, and the last time I saw the Gloomy Deer, It’s winter when the angelica comes.”

He spoke for a moment and looked at Zhou Jue seriously.

"The reason why I hired Mr. Zhou Jue is because I know that Mr. Zhou Jue owns Nen."

"Otherwise, a thirteen-year-old boy wouldn't be able to hunt a wolf!"

Palladium's eyes showed eagerness.

He knows a lot of things and is aware of Nen's existence.

"Ordinary people can't even see the Youse Deer, let alone hunting. The cold weather will stop them in their tracks."

"Only a particularly strong person can find the Deer of Dark Color."

"Only a very strong person can hunt it."

Palladium smiled and concluded: "That's why I ask you, Mr. Zhou Jue!"

These words answered all the doubts.

Zhou Jue has no doubts anymore.

He thought for a moment, nodded and accepted the commission, "Okay, I will try to hunt it."

"Thank you so much!"

Palladium breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily, "The extreme western cold wave only comes once every twenty or thirty years. I am already 58 years old. If I miss this time, I may not be able to wait for the next appearance of the Gloomy Deer."

When Jerke saw Zhou Jue accepted the job, he said nothing.

The three of them finished chatting about business, finished lunch and left.

Before leaving.

The butler presented six meal coupons.

With the meal coupon, you can enjoy the restaurant's chef's set menu for free once.

"This is a little greeting gift from Mr. Palladium to the two of you." the butler said.

Zhou Jue and Jerk naturally accepted it.

This amount of money is nothing to palladium.

Leave the restaurant.

Zhou Jue went directly to Jerk's house to pack up the supplies for the mountain.

"Wait a minute, you plan to go into the mountains now?" Jerke was stunned and said in surprise: "It's just autumn, and there are still more than two months before winter!"

"I'm not used to staying here." Zhou Jue shook his head.

Jerk was suddenly surprised.

Not used to it?

He watched in confusion as Zhou Jue packed up his belongings and turned around to walk out of his house.

"Jerke, ask someone to send me supplies every half month, and I will give you the prey." Zhou Jue said outside the house.

"Okay." Jerk agreed.

"Then, goodbye." Zhou Jue waved and left with a chuckle.

Jerke looked at his back and frowned tightly.

Leave town.

Through a whole forest.

Zhou Jue came to the mountain deep in the forest at dusk.

He randomly found a big tree, put his belongings on the branches, put his backpack on his pillow, and planned to rest early.

The air in the mountains is refreshing.

Silence.

Occasionally, some insects and birds chirp, but they rise and fall suddenly, adding to the loneliness.

No trace of human society can be found in the mountains.

There is no smoke, no sound, no comfortable residence, no convenient facilities... Being in the mountains, Zhou Jue seems to have entered a strange world.

Uneasiness, anxiety, loneliness...

None of these!

Instead, he became extremely excited.

This strange environment and this unknown feeling made him particularly happy and delighted.

And in towns.

Although safe, it is very boring.

You can only practice swordsmanship once a day and practice 'practice' once a day, that's all.

In other respects, I can't let go at all.

It’s as if a person is wearing clothes that are several sizes too small and feels constrained in everything he does.
