Hunter x Hunter Rise Meteor Street
Chapter 2 Monroe
There is a Mebis Empire on the Eurubian Continent, and its territory borders Meteor Street.
On a summer night decades ago, the largest Royal Theater in Mora, the capital of the Mebis Empire, was bustling with people, and the auditorium was full of people.
The circular aisle was full of guards. There had never been such a solemn and grand standard here, and the people in the seats were looking forward to it and talking about it.
This was something they could brag about for the rest of their lives after tonight, watching magic shows with the royal family, and the greatest magician in the world was about to start an unknown performance for them.
There were many dignitaries here, and the royal family members were sitting in the VIP seats on the second floor. There were guards on both sides guarding the surroundings, and no one was allowed to approach unless they were allowed by the guests.
King Orson of the Mebis Empire sat on a chair and talked about tonight's performance with Prince Baron, who had pulled him to watch the performance.
"Baron, is he really as magical as the rumors say? I have lived to this age and have seen many magic tricks, all of which are tricks to deceive people."
"Father, believe me, this time you will definitely feast your eyes. I have seen him turn a woman's scarf into a snake, put an orange seed into a flowerpot and let it take root and sprout instantly, grow branches and leaves, and bear fruit! It's just..."
"It's just like magic, isn't it? Child, I don't believe in real magic. If there is magic, it must be the existence of demons. It's too dangerous! We must kill such people. I told you, child, I have killed many such people. They use illusions to deceive the public and blaspheme the gods! Such people must die!"
"Oh, my majesty, these are just some tricks to make people happy. Who would take it seriously? You two, father and son, don't always fight and kill, and talk endlessly. Just watch the show."
The queen sitting next to the king interrupted their conversation.
"See, your mother is a wise person."
The king turned sideways with a triumphant smile and looked at Prince Baron on the other side.
Prince Baron lowered his head, stopped arguing, and waited for the performance to prove what he said.
"Are you ready? Monroe, I'm going to the stage."
"No problem, Keane."
At this time, in front of the red curtain on the stage, a short host with a mustache, Keane, came up. He was wearing a black tuxedo, looking around at the audience in front of the stage, and spoke with an excited voice.
"Life and death, time and space, fate and opportunity, these are the forces contained in the universe. Tonight, gentlemen and ladies. Please allow me to introduce a person who can solve these mysteries. He comes from the end of the distant world, where black magic still dominates and reverses the laws of nature. Please welcome the magician Elson!"
As the host stretched his arm back, the curtain opened to both sides. Amid a warm applause, a magician in a black dress and a cloak walked out of the stage.
He was tall and slender, wearing a gentleman's hat, covering his very conspicuous red hair as much as possible.
He had fair skin, delicate features, and deep eyes like a whirlpool, which made people feel sucked in and dared not look directly at him for too long.
He walked slowly forward to the edge of the stage, took off his black cloak, and threw it into the air above the audience.
The cloak turned into a group of black crows in the air in a blink of an eye. For a moment, the audience raised their heads and looked at the crows in the air.
Ah, ah, ah...
The crows screamed and flew quickly to the VIP seats high above.
Seeing that the crows were about to fly over, the royal women in the seats began to panic, some screamed, and some hid in the arms of their lovers.
The queen was also shocked for a moment, and Prince Baron took out his sword to block her, ready to kill any crow that approached.
King Orson stared at the approaching black things with unwavering eyes, waiting for them to get closer. He wanted to see clearly whether they were crows.
Just when the crows were about to approach the royal nobles, they suddenly changed.
Bang, bang, bang...
They all turned into black smoke, slowly dissipated in the air, and then disappeared without a trace.
People screamed, and the magician received even warmer applause from the audience.
Next, the magician began his more exciting performance.
"People often say that dreams are like life, and life is like dreams. Sometimes we are in a dream but don't know it is a dream. Only when we wake up do we know where we are! Today, everyone is here, and I will let you see everything that can only be seen in a dream."
"Is there any lady willing to come up? I need a female guest for my next show!"
The magician looked at the audience, waiting for a response. At this time, the daughter of a rich woman raised her handkerchief to signal.
The magician smiled and extended an invitation gesture to her, saying, "Please applaud this brave lady."
The applause rang out, and the lady came to the stage and looked at the audience below. The spotlight was on her, making her a little uncomfortable, but also a little excited and enjoying. She quietly waited for the magician's arrangement.
After a while, the props for the performance were pushed up from the backstage. The female guest's expression changed when she looked at the audience. Some timid ladies even shouted, "Oh my God!"
The female guest also looked back uneasily at this time. When she saw the props behind her, she couldn't help but be surprised.
A vertical wooden box with a round hole on it that could show the head, and a row of long swords hung on a shelf next to it.
"Madam, don't worry, all this is fake, just like a dream."
The magician approached the female guest and comforted her with a smile.
Then, the magician opened the box, which was a prop box with two parts that could be opened separately, and asked the lady to get into the box and stand up.
First, close the part of the box that stuck the neck, and then close the part of the box that stuck the body. In this way, only the lady's head was exposed, and the body was in the box.
Then the magician walked to the shelf next to him, picked up a sword, walked to the front of the stage, and handed the sword to the audience.
Several audience members passed the sword around, and one of them even scratched the blade with his finger, and blood flowed out.
"This is a real sword, I swear!"
Then the sword was passed to the magician, who waved the sword and walked to the box.
"Keep smiling, ma'am, this is a dream, not real."
The magician comforted the lady in the box again, and suddenly stabbed the sword into the box with force.
The audience below was shocked, and similarly, the female guest in the box also watched the sword pass through the box horizontally.
But the female guest found that she did not feel any discomfort in her body, and then she smiled with relief.
The audience in the audience also relaxed, and then the magician inserted the second sword, the third sword, and so on.
All the ten swords on the shelf were inserted from different positions.
But there was still no abnormality on the face of the female guest on the stage, and the audience began to murmur.
These people have seen big scenes, so they are naturally more picky.
"It's just a trick. It's obvious that there is a mechanism here. Anyone who has seen magic knows it."
King Orson has already made his own conclusion impatiently. As he said, he has seen too many such performances, and it is not surprising at all.
"Father, if it was just like this, I would definitely not call you here. He must have another trick up his sleeve!"
Prince Baron firmly knew that this magician would never let him down.
As the prince expected, a bigger surprise came, and the magician spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you have seen similar performances too many times. You must be thinking, there must be some tricks here, right? Let's do something different this time!"
The magician walked up to the female guest and said to her again: "Remember, ma'am, this is just like a dream, it's all fake!"
The magician immediately opened the box with swords on both sides and turned around to walk aside.
The audience in the audience were stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes.
