Roy paused slightly,
as if those words could have come from Kurapika's mouth....
The sensitive-minded young boy clearly already realized the issue... escaping might be a temporary thrill, but it won't solve the fundamental problem, in other words....
The Kurta Race with fiery red eyes is as difficult as a child carrying gold through a crowded market, hard not to be coveted, moreover... this race in the original work didn't even have a decent strong individual, yet... the "fiery red eyes" endowed them with the "special ability," making them naturally able to utilize a hundred percent of the "six categories" compared to other Nen users!
"He's right,"
"Escaping won't save the Kurta Race...."
Roy casually glanced at the mountain trail,
On the long mountain trail, a small figure popped out. Kurapika, with smooth golden hair, slightly lowered his eyelids, emerged from behind a big tree,
Seeing this, Kurajing was slightly stunned, suddenly realizing something....
"Weren't you sleeping?"
"Having things on my mind, can't sleep...." Kurapika, with panda eyes, cautiously glanced at Roy, gathered his courage, and said: "Young Master Roy, you are a wise person, the Kurta Race can't hide forever, eventually one day it will be discovered."
This issue had clearly been pondered for a long time by the young boy, not only by him but also by Kurajing, Pairo, and a multitude of Kurta Race members—they all understood this fact, but... facing the external coveting, everyone was playing ostrich, deliberately ignored it....
"So, what do you plan to do?"
Roy intuitively sensed something, looked at Kurapika indifferently.
Kurapika silently came beside Kurajing, took a deep breath, as if having made a decision, bowing deeply to Roy said: "Please take me in, Young Master."
"I've thought it over, only if I become strong enough can I protect the Kurta, safeguard the village, protect the tribe!"
"Pika...." Kurajing was obviously surprised, these words clearly... Kurapika had not previously disclosed or even discussed with her, in other words... this was an action the young boy had decided on his own.
[Hint: Detected "potential follower"... Loyalty +10......]
[Current "Loyalty": 50 (50 points away from "Absolute Loyalty")]
[Note: "Potential follower" Kurapika, having witnessed your battle with Silva Zoldyck, found the answer to protecting the Kurta Race]
"Woosh~" The mountain wind rose, causing the boy's golden bangs to sway gently.....
Silence enveloped the mountain path, Roy quietly watched and listened,
"Thump... thump....." With a bowing back, Kurapika lowered his head, silently waiting... those few seconds of action, yet filled him with anxiety, felt like a lifetime.....
"Young Master, please forgive Pika's rashness....." Silly boy, does he really think joining the Zoldyck is that easy?
Look at those many people who have wasted years at the servant villa, never making it into the servant ranks in their lifetime....
Kurajing quickly bowed, apologizing to Roy... before the young girl bent over, two strands of clear wind swirled, directly lifted both of them....
[Wind Breathing unleashed... Roy casually snapped his fingers, smiling warmly: "Your brother is not wrong, there's no need to apologize."]
To protect home and country, a good man should be like this... Roy, with brilliant silver hair, deeply looked at Kurapika, saying: "But, Zoldyck also has its rules, and I can't break them....."
Roy stepped forward, brushed past Kurapika's shoulder, leaving the boy a broad back: "To be accepted by me, prove it."
"First fight your way out from among the apprentice servants...."
"Yes, Young Master." Kurapika straightened his back, raising his voice,
Watched Roy leave in silence, clenched his fist tightly,
The yearning and admiration flickering in his eyes, in a trance, seemed to make Kurajing see her former self, unyielding, undergoing a journey of shattered and reshaped cognition, now utterly changed....
"Tap... tap...." The sound of footsteps gradually faded... Soon, Roy's figure disappeared at the mountain path.
When Kurajing regained her senses, Kurapika finally remembered his actions were decided alone, without consulting Kurajing, and apologized, bowing: "Sorry, sister."
However, before Kurapika could lower his head, his smooth little chin was firmly held up by Kurajing's hand... Kurajing sternly glared at the surprised Kurapika: "Young Master said you're not wrong, so you're not wrong."
"Pika, you heard it as well, if you have the skills, just fight your way out!"
Kurapika solemnly nodded,
Nen naturally exuding from his head instantly manifested into a resolute golden hue, then... was caught by Roy's "En" on sight.
The boy, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, unconsciously sped up his pace, his body flickered, instantly pulled out light and shadow, reached the mountain gate in a second, made Gatekeeper Zebro, who was sipping tea and reading the newspaper, see nothing but a blur, quickly looked out, then suddenly stood up, took off his hat and saluted: "Good morning, Young Master."
"Good morning," Roy smiled, nodded at Zebro, approaching the Gate of Trial, hesitated, prepared to return journey... However, this time, Roy adjusted his stance, controlled his internal Acupoints to open along a special "Chakra path", following the reincarnation route of "Impure World Reincarnation," started running towards the mountain peak....
In a flash, Zebro suddenly felt emptiness in front of him, completely unable to sense Roy's presence!
The bald gatekeeper was shocked, hurriedly looked up, saw the youth's body surface surging with black and white distinct Nen, one side vibrant, the other dull and lifeless, yet paradoxically harmonized together.....
