Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"These creatures are not afraid of us."

Illumi looked at the strange creatures that were gradually going away, and did not issue an attack order, but led everyone to follow.

When these creatures saw them, there was no curiosity or fear of unknown creatures in their eyes. Judging from their performance, they were only a little surprised.

The speed of these strange creatures is not very fast, and they look back at Illumi and the others from time to time.

They seemed to be taking a walk, as if they were purposely leading Illumi and his party.

"Illumi, have you found the longevity food [Nitolomi]?"

Biyang De's thick voice sounded from inside the helmet, asking about Illumi's longevity food. After calculating the distance, it was time for them to leave the swamp and land on land.

"Found it, but longevity food is biological tissue."

"Biological tissue? Not a plant?"

Biyangde was a little stunned in his words. He always subconsciously believed that the things that can be crowned with the two words of longevity and food are mostly related to plants, such as certain plants that can be used as medicinal materials.

But it never occurred to him to be part of some kind of creature.

"Goo~"

When Yilumi was talking with Biyangde, the strange creatures that had been jumping ahead stopped, raised their heads forward and let out a cry, and then spread out around, grazing on their own.

They have no intention of leaving here at all, as if this is their territory.

They didn't seem to worry about anything bad that humans like Illumi would do to them, but accepted them and regarded them as existences similar to their companions.

"This is... a relic?"

But the attention of Yilumi and his team is not on these strange creatures, but on the moss-covered stone wall in front of them.

The walls formed a square, like a temporary camp, and in the middle of the wall facing Illumi, there was a stone round arch without a door.

"rustle……"

Illumi walked slowly, and the combat boots on his feet opened up the vibrant grass, and the dewdrops on the grass blades slid down, washing away some of the mud on the combat boots.

"Even in such a forest, the walls have been seriously desertified, at least thousands of years old."

Illumi stopped in front of the round arch, stretched out his hand to caress the groove on the top of the round arch, and looked up. The wall was very high, at least six meters by visual inspection.

"These grooves on the door should be some kind of ancient writing."

Illumi led Kim Bradley and others through the round stone arch to the ruins. The space inside the ruins is not large, there is no ceiling above the head, and several walls have collapsed.

And on the walls that are still standing, there are many strangely shaped grooves carved, just like the grooves on the stone round arches.

The area of ​​this ruins is only 100 square meters by visual inspection. In addition to the collapsed wall stones, there are also some stools and tables that are obviously made of stones by intelligent creatures.

The ground is covered with lush green grass and vegetation more than one meter high.

"Hoo hoo hoo..."

In the depths of the forest, a gust of wind blew through Illumi's short bangs, as well as the grass and vegetation on the ground, creating waves of emerald green.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the vegetation being swayed by the breeze, Illumi saw something that made him curious through the gaps between the vegetation.

Yilumi raised his foot and stepped forward, trampling down many vegetation along the way, and came to the stone table and stone stool in the center of the ruins, looked down at the stone table, his expression changed slightly.

"Is this a human thing?"

Pride, Kim Bradley, and Glid also surrounded Illumi,

Looking at the rectangular green leather box sitting quietly under the stone table, his eyes were also squinted.

This kind of rectangular box is still painted, no matter in terms of craftsmanship or appearance, it is quite different from this thousand-year-old relic.

But even for this box, there should be relics of hundreds of years, maybe two or three hundred years, maybe.

"open to take a look."

Illumi ordered that for safety reasons, he asked an Avenger to come and open the box.

"Click."

With a soft bang, the box was opened. This rectangular box was made of wood, but the lock was a rusted iron lock, which was easily opened by the Avengers soldiers.

The Avenger took out the only existing notebook with a gray casing similar to a notebook from the box and handed it to Illumi, and immediately got up and backed away.

"This is a log, an exploration log."

Illumi wiped off a little dust on the cover of the diary with his hands, and touched it lightly with his fingers. It felt smooth to the touch, as if some kind of method was used to preserve it.

Presumably, this is the reason why this diary has not degraded naturally after existing in such an environment for so many years.

Illumi gently flipped open the gray journal cover, the paper inside was a little yellow, and when touching the yellowish paper with fingers, it still felt smooth to the touch.

Obviously, in order to preserve it, the owner of this diary used special methods on each page and each side.

The diary is filled with densely packed small prints, each word is extremely clear, and each line is very neat.

"I don't understand it at all."

Illumi continued to flip through, each page was written in the same words, and there were illustrations of some kind of strange plants or animals on it.

But the words on it were not any kind of characters he knew, so he frowned when he saw them.

"This type of text is familiar to me."

At this time, Kim Bradley, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. He took the diary in Illumi's hand, inspected it carefully, and reached out to touch them.

Kim Bradley stopped his hands and looked at the log in his hand in a daze, as if lost in memory.

"Ancient Capetian."

After a full minute, Kim Bradley spoke again and said the name of the ancient text on the log.

"As a relic hunter, I have read a lot of books about ancient texts, including the ancient language [Capetian] in front of us."

"It's just that it is limited to understanding and cannot be translated."

While Kim Bradley was speaking, he handed the journal to Pride for him to look at.

It's a pity that it's only been five years since Kim Bradley was born, and he's been working as a hunter for only about one year out of the five years.

"Then put it away and ask a linguist to translate it when you go back. Or you can try to study this text yourself, and we can translate it ourselves." Illumi and Kim Bradley discussed.

"Boss, this symbol..."

While Illumi and Kim Bradley were discussing, Pride held up the diary and showed the contents and illustrations of the last page in front of Illumi.
