Chapter 1121: The Secret of the Zoldick family
After a long silence, Maha continued to demonstrate his family's techniques and didn't pursue the topic further.
— With the help of someone from the Dark Continent? Su Xiao asked again. He decided to test the water, as at the foot of the mountain, Heaven itself notified him that the chance of obtaining an additional quest in this place was increased.
To get a hidden mission, obviously, you had to at least have a good relationship with the heads of this family — Maha Zoldik or Alluka Zoldik.
Hearing Su Xiao's words about the Dark Continent, Maha stopped.
After visiting the Dark Continent once in his youth, he was able to bring back some things from there.
— What do you know?" Maha asked, his face unchanged.
He seemed to want to say something to Su Xiao earlier, but due to his unclear background, he ended up choosing not to say anything.
— Nothing like that, I haven't been there in person, all the information was provided to me by V5, " Su Xiao replied.
If it was another contractor, he might be afraid of the Zoldick family's strength, but Su Xiao wasn't afraid of it at all.
If this conversation reached a dead end, at worst they would fight again.
— Boy, do you know about the" calamities " of the Dark Continent?
Maha Zoldik hesitated. He couldn't decide if he should start cooperating with Su Xiao. Although he didn't trust Su Xiao, there were too few people as strong as Su Xiao.
He wanted to cooperate with Isaac Noether, the chairman of the Hunter's Association, but he declined as he was eager for strength.
— Su Xiao immediately understood what Maha was talking about.
The so-called "disasters" were not plagues or natural disasters, but rather special creatures, plants, and very strange elements.
If the hidden quest was related to this matter, Su Xiao's interest in completing it would be very low, for each of these calamities from the Dark Continent was too dangerous, and it wasn't something he could contact now.
— If the secret of your immortality is related to these 'calamities', then you don't have to continue, I'm not particularly interested in this matter.
— Listen to me, " Maha said, and sighed.
He felt that Su Xiao's attitude was very similar to Isaac's.
— I ... went to the Dark Continent and died there, " After saying that, Maha sat down under a tree, and his old eyes became a little confused. — When I opened my eyes again, the people who went there with me were looking at me very strangely. From their mouths, I learned that darkness entered my body, and then I came back to life. Then they thought I was possessed by a parasite.
Maha paused, as if thinking about something.
— But after some tests, they realized that I really came back to life, and I was no different from my former self. Although it's strange, in the Dark Continent, it's not something surprising.
— After that, we went back the way we came. Compared to the Dark Continent, this one is a real Paradise.
Su Xiao listened to his story in silence.
— After returning, I returned to my family, got married and had children. Everything was fine until… After saying that, Maha looked blankly in front of him, as if remembering something. — I watched my grandchildren grow up, I even had the honor to see the growth of my great-great-grandchildren, everything was fine until the moment when Alluka appeared — - and after these words, Maha's gaze began to furiously rush between the trees. — After giving birth to that bastard, I finally understood why I still haven't died. I've wanted to kill this freak many times. He is not my great-great-grandson. No, half of it is him, but the other half belongs to the "darkness" from the Dark Continent.
Maha's body began to shake, shaking with anger.
— If I could find someone who could help me, I wouldn't tell you about it. Zeno's time is running out. I have to resolve this issue before he leaves.
Maha's words were very strange. He actually said that Zeno didn't have much time left, considering that it was him and not Zeno who was the old man.
— What I tell you, whether you agree with it or not, don't tell outsiders. Consider this condition as a price for cooperation. It should be kept a secret, " Maha stared at Su Xiao intently, and finally, there was a glint in his hazy old eyes.
— Su Xiao certainly wouldn't refuse such a simple request.
— Then let me continue. You asked me earlier why I was able to live until now ... " Maha's withered fists clenched tightly and began to crackle. — I was able to live until now because I suck the life out of my relatives and descendants! When that bastard was born, I was sure of it. Each of my loved ones loses about fifty years of their lives. Because I didn't know about it before, my eldest son died in an accident.
Zeno Zoldik did have an older brother, but he died of old age at a very young age. When he died, everyone in the Zoldick family was puzzled that such a person, who was quite strong and had a large amount of nan energy, had died at the age of 57.
As for Zeno Zoldik himself, he was now only 67 years old. For people with nan energy, especially at this level, having gray hair was quite unusual.
Zeno Zoldik now looked more like a man of years 80-90.
Maha's expression was filled with pain.
Living without taking the life of a loved one was not a pleasant experience.
— My black nan energy actually means that I've been dead for a long time, " and along with those words, nan energy appeared on his palm.
It was viscous and light at the same time.
— If I deprive my loved ones of fifty years of life, I can live another ten years. No, it can't be called life, I can survive for another ten years. I tried to kill myself, but then I clearly felt that if I died, then all my loved ones would suffer very much.
— Isaac was able to live to this day because he broke the shackles of his body and realized the power of his heart. Even though he is already a hundred and ten years old, he was able to maintain his strength and himself, but I didn't manage to do so. The curse fell on the Zoldick family the moment I was resurrected.
Maha's words could shock an ordinary person. He could only live by depriving the future of his loved ones. For an old man who valued his family, this was a very painful experience.
— The birth of this bastard made me despair at first, but soon after, I saw hope. One of my descendants was actually able to come in contact with this something. He became a hope, a hope that made me… After saying that, Maha looked at Su Xiao.
— Clear.
— … — Su Xiao's calm response stunned Maha. He didn't know that Su Xiao had personally gone through things that surpassed the whole story by dozens of times.
— To cut the story short, you want to use my power to achieve your goals. So let me ask you: what do I get in return?
Su Xiao felt that the hidden mission was right in front of his hands, and it had nothing to do with the Dark Continent, but was related to Killua.
In Su Xiao's mind, there were two main characters in this world. The first was Gon Frix, and the second was Killua Zoldik.
