Fu Long reached out and took the pastries, then waved his hand, saying, "Good luck, everyone!"
After saying that, he walked into the trial gate, and the gate slowly closed, separating Fu Long from the outside world.
Chapter 47 Meeting Silva and Zeno
On the way to the butler's room, Fu Long saw Sanmao, who had come to observe.
It has to be said that Sanmao's expressionless eyes reminded Fu Long of Illumi. That guy must have learned his eyes from Sanmao.
Continuing to walk inside, they soon saw Canaria. However, unlike the situation when Gon and his friends came in during the story, Canaria was not there to attack Fu Long, but to greet him.
"Mr. Fu Long, this way please."
Fu Long nodded. Logically speaking, the road from here to the butler's room was full of traps. If he went in by himself, he would be in danger. It would be better for Kanaria to lead him.
They followed them all the way to the butler's room, where Wutong was already waiting.
Upon seeing Fu Long, Wu Tong first looked him up and down before politely saying, "Young Master Illumi has already instructed that you are his friend."
Fu Long just laughed: "Didn't he say I'm a stupid friend?"
Wutong's expression didn't change much, but Fulong could tell from his eyes that Illumi probably didn't think highly of him at first.
After entering the butler's office and taking a seat in the main hall, Wutong asked, "I wonder what brings Mr. Fu Long here? Or perhaps you wish to commission a murder?"
"No, it's not that complicated. One reason is that I came to see Killua. The other is that I wanted to borrow some books from the Zoldyck family's library. I believe that with the size of the Zoldyck family's collection, they should have what I want."
This was Fu Long's real purpose. After becoming a hunter, Fu Long also checked the hunter-only website. There was a lot of content on it, but some of it could be bought with contribution points or money.
For example, Fu Long's current weapon, the Nine-Toothed Rake, and his combat techniques and routines.
This kind of unusual weapon is not just something you can swing or use to fight back. You can only use it flexibly after you have a certain routine.
Fu Long was poor. He originally thought that he would be able to learn a lot of skills after obtaining Jenny in the Sky Arena, but after careful consideration, it turned out that it was not the case at all.
So Fu Long set his sights on the Zoldycks' house. It was a risky move, but one that had to be taken.
Moreover, given the size of the assassin family, the books they collect should be of a high standard.
Of course, Fu Long is not arrogant enough to assume that the Zoldyck family will definitely do him a favor.
After all, the so-called friends of Illumi or Killua are just their own opinions.
Wutong gave an "oh" and raised an eyebrow. This request was indeed quite strange. So she apologized to Fu Long and then went to call the main house to ask for instructions.
A short while later, Wutong came over.
"Mr. Fu Long, please come with me."
It seemed that the people at the main house had agreed, so Fu Long nodded, picked up the pastries, and left with them.
There's still a long way to go from the butler's room to the main house.
However, for Wutong, or Fulong now, this path is quite simple.
In just a short while, Fu Long arrived at the main house.
At the door, Fu Long stopped, because the two people were already standing outside waiting.
It turned out to be Kikyo and Kurt, Killua's mother and brother.
I remember when I first read the comics, I thought Kurt was a girl. Later I found out that he was so cute, of course he was a boy.
"I apologize for the intrusion." Fu Long bowed naturally, and after Kikki and Kurt returned the bow, it was clear that the two were not quite used to Fu Long's politeness.
That's incredibly polite, and it's strange that this politeness comes from the heart.
When you meet someone from an assassin family, you shouldn't feel fear in your heart, or some people might even feel disgust. Why is this person so calm?
Fu Long himself was not sure about this feeling, but deep down, he did not regard this family as monsters.
"This way, please." Kikyo led the way, while Wutong took his leave.
Upon entering the castle, Fu Long was quickly led to a room, which turned out to be a dining room.
Here, Fu Long met two members of the Zoldyck family who had many scenes: Zeno and Silva. The two were enjoying tea.
"Looks like I've come at the right time. I brought some tea and snacks. Would you like to try some? I made them myself," Fu Long said casually.
Zeno and Silva both looked at Fu Long, their expressions unchanged, but they were also somewhat surprised.
Upon seeing them, this person remained remarkably calm.
“Fu Long, right? The information you sent back is a little different from what Illumi sent back.”
Fu Long just laughed it off: "I used to feel like I was so arrogant, but I was slapped awake. People always grow."
"Please sit down and have some tea with me."
A servant came over, opened the pastries that Fu Long had brought, placed them on a plate, and brought them back. Someone poured Fu Long a cup of tea and placed it in front of him on the table.
"Oh, it looks like it tastes pretty good." Zeno picked up a piece and put it in his mouth without any hesitation.
"Hmm, it tastes really good. I didn't know you had this skill."
Hearing Genuo's praise, Fu Long just smiled. He had learned the craft before and still had the skills, so that was enough.
After drinking tea for a while and finishing most of the pastries on the table, Silva looked at Fu Long and asked, "I heard you're going to the library?"
"Yes, after all, some of the content on the Hunter website is highly confidential."
"You've come up with a shortcut." Silva nodded to himself in approval of Fu Long's honesty. It was rare to see a young man remain so calm in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, Silva said, "I have a question."
"May I ask you something?"
“Since you came in, I’ve noticed how calm you are, which I find strange. People who have met us have always found it difficult to maintain this composure. How did you manage to do it? You know, we are a notorious family of assassins.”
When Silba said this, he exuded a powerful and authoritative aura.
However, Fu Long was clearly unaffected. He simply closed his eyes and thought for a moment before opening them and saying, "Well, I once heard a saying that I really liked. Perhaps it's because of that saying that I don't think there's anything wrong with being so infamous."
“Oh, I’m quite interested in that quote,” Zeno said.
Fu Long paused for a moment, then calmly said, "There is no such thing as good or evil, right or wrong. They are just a group of people with different ideas living in the same world."
The restaurant fell silent. Zeno and Silva remained silent, silently savoring the words.
After a long pause, Zeno finally finished his tea: "I like that sentence."
After saying that, he got up, put his hands behind his back, and left.
Silva nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll have Wutong arrange for you to go to the library, regarding the time..."
"Two weeks, I guess." Fu Long smiled. Xiao Jie should be here in two weeks.
Chapter 48: Found the Direction
The book about the rake technique has been found in the Zoldyck family's library; Fu Long's learning ability is quite strong.
During the learning process, Fu Long also practiced with Wu Tong several times. It has to be said that he was able to fight Wu Tong to a draw just with his nine-toothed rake, which was quite impressive, even though Wu Tong did not use his full strength.
In the past few days, Fu Long has been searching for other information.
I have gained the world's recognition, but my own abilities have never been developed.
This gave Fu Long a real headache, mainly because he didn't know what to choose.
If you have a slot machine, there's a chance you'll get anything.
Currently, the defensive materialized item is the Nine-Headed Skull, the release-type item is the Poisonous Stinger, the skills are Fiery Eyes and Clairaudience, and the pure weapon is the Manipulation-type Nine-Toothed Rake.
I now possess three out of the six elements, and who knows what else might appear in the future? Therefore, I should try to make sure that the items I materialize are different from the items in the slot machine.
Otherwise, it would be like that Leopard Commander named Guido, who, despite his astonishing speed, insisted on materializing a crossbow—wasn't that a waste?
Hmm, wait a minute, thinking of Guido, Fu Long suddenly remembered another of his abilities, that's right, the hide-and-seek space.
In that space, Mo Laowu could only escape by using a trick to reach Jidu; otherwise, he would have been trapped inside.
This spatial ability is very useful and also applicable to the materialization system, but what Fu Long is thinking about is not simply space.
Instead, it has room for enhancement.
Fu Long's eyes slowly lit up, and he began searching in the library.
Although it's called a library, the Zoldyck family's library is actually quite large, and some special documents are also stored there.
However, Fu Long did not touch these materials, but only looked for the ones he needed.
Meanwhile, in Silva's room, Wutong reported to Silva about Fu Long's recent activities in the library. Upon hearing that Fu Long was indeed only looking for information that was useful to him, Silva nodded.
"He's a good little guy."
Wutong said, "Yes, and he also knows Young Master Qiya, and they are said to have a good relationship."
"I see. Well, that's fine. The appointed time is almost here."
"Yes."
Two weeks is not a long time, but Fu Long has found his answer. At this moment, a black book appears in his hand.
Right in the center of the book was the character "西" (Xi, meaning west). After opening the book, Fu Long sighed helplessly, "Two weeks to produce just one book. It seems like we have a long way to go."
Wutong was already standing at the door of the study.
Fu Long came out, smiled at Wu Tong, and said, "I'll go say hello, and then I'll go with you to the butler's office."
"The master said you can apply for a few more days."
"Thank you, but no need. After all, I've already bothered you for so long. I've found what I was looking for, and the rest is up to me to figure out on my own."
Wutong nodded naturally, his demeanor measured and appropriate, just as his master had commented: this young man is quite good.
After saying goodbye to Silva, Fu Long left with Wu Tong.
He didn't see Zeno. Zeno was probably in the basement at that moment, releasing Killua.
Fu Long followed Wu Tong to the butler's room, and soon Xiao Jie and the others were welcomed in.
"Hey, Fu Long, what are you doing here?" Xiao Jie exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Fu Long.
Looking at Xiao Jie's bruised face, Fu Long couldn't help but laugh. It has to be said that this is Xiao Jie's charm. His face was covered in injuries, but his eyes were still so clear.
