Chapter 164 Emma, the Rules
Lu Qi and his two companions disembarked from the airship and were preparing to leave the airport.
The Kingdom of Kukanyou is one of the five great nations. Unless it is a registered airship or belongs to a certain airship company, other airships are not allowed to enter its territory.
The airships in the Sky Arena do not yet have this authority.
They were traveling on a civilian airship.
"Lord Lucci, I am a subordinate of the Stacy family. The car to Fallstown is ready for you." Several men in suits approached them directly and took the initiative to introduce themselves.
"Oh!" Lu Qi hesitated for a moment, but still got into the car with them.
It's mainly about having confidence in one's abilities.
A very long vehicle was already waiting outside the airship airport.
A young woman was already waiting next to the car.
"Charlie, I didn't expect you to actually come back." The young woman greeted Charlie first.
"Emma!" Charlier said, referring to the other person's name.
The other person is also a member of the Stacy family, and is also a sister or friend of Regina.
She had helped Regina escape her family.
The reason they were able to get to know each other was because the Stacy family abandoned him and sent him to explore the secret realm formed by the Book of Sacrifice, and at that time, Charlier was also one of them.
Lucci was able to quickly deduce whether this was the Stacy family making overtures.
"This is Lord Lucci," Shariel quickly introduced, fearing that Emma might offend Lucci.
"I know, the top-level master of the Sky Arena, the disciple of the Heart Source Style Netero. Speaking of which, I am able to be here because of you, Master Lucci."
Even though Emma was a direct descendant of the family, she did something so outrageous that, under normal circumstances, she wouldn't have survived.
The reason they were able to survive was because of the agreement between the Stacy family and Bessie.
"Alright, let's get in the car. If we keep them waiting, they'll probably get very impatient."
After everyone got on the bus.
Lucci looked around the inside of the car.
"As expected of a powerful figure they fear, he's already discovered the surveillance system in the car!" Emma bluntly stated the truth.
"It's not a pleasant feeling to be watched like this." Lucci lightly patted his knee, and a burst of Nen energy instantly enveloped the entire car.
Then Lucci destroyed all the monitoring settings.
This can be seen as a test by the Stacy family.
"Charlie, you shouldn't have come back. Bessie is probably already..." Emma continued to say to Charlie.
She had been to the secret realm more than once, and as Bessie's friend, she had a very deep bond with her.
As long as Bessie retains her consciousness, she is unlikely to face any major danger.
But now she was certain that Bessie was dead, and the last time she entered, everything was completely different from before.
In the previous few times, even when danger was encountered, it wasn't too high, and we were always able to find a way to escape.
Only one last time did Bessie's voice appear in her mind.
And he told her that she couldn't hold on any longer, and that being able to survive was Bessie's last bit of strength.
She was supposed to lead the team into the secret realm again today after she had rested, but the arrival of Lucci and Shariel saved her life.
"There was something I wanted to tell you when I left, but it seems too late now. You've already become a hunter."
Charlier didn't understand.
"They didn't let you go out of kindness in the first place."
"They made a promise with Bessie..."
Emma directly revealed some information related to the Book of Sacrifice.
Becoming a sacrifice actually has one benefit that isn't exactly a good thing.
That is, it is possible to fulfill a "wish", provided that it has no negative impact on the family and that the family is capable of fulfilling the "wish".
Bessie had not yet made a sacrifice and had not made a specific "wish".
However, after Bessie activated the Book of Sacrifice for some unknown reason, she fulfilled some conditions and was able to negotiate with her family.
One condition was that Charlier and Emma were able to live.
And Shariel becoming a hunter was a crucial condition.
She originally wanted to tell Shariel that as long as he didn't become a hunter, the Stacy family wouldn't be able to take action against him, and any indirect approach would be impossible.
Otherwise, there will be a backlash, and no one knows exactly what that backlash will be like.
However, there must have been relevant records in the history of Stacy, otherwise the members of the Stacy family would not have always adhered to this.
Even though there was an agreement, because she was a family member, the effect was far less than that of an outsider, who could "execute" her in a roundabout way.
The reason I kept letting her enter the secret realm was because of this.
Lucci then asked, "So, the effect is enhanced when facing members of the Festassi family?"
Emma nodded immediately.
Meanwhile, Shariel was still reeling from Emma's revelation that Bessie was dead.
Am I really too late?
However, he didn't completely believe it. He would only give up after actually seeing Bessie's body, and his eyes immediately became determined.
After all, Nen abilities also contain the element of "miracle".
"Is this Book of Sacrifice a family heirloom, created by one of your family's Nen users?" Lucci asked directly.
The other party is from the Stacy family, so they should know more information.
"I don't know. The Book of Sacrifice is a taboo within the family. Only the seven chosen and the person who performs the sacrifice can know the relevant information," Emma shook her head.
"Lord Lucci, although you are powerful, this matter is not so easy to resolve. If possible, I hope you can give up and leave here with Shariel," Emma pleaded.
"Is it dangerous there?" Lucci asked.
"It's not just as simple as danger. What we encountered before wasn't even considered dangerous. The real danger..." Emma suddenly paused.
It was as if time had been frozen in half, or one could say that they had lost consciousness.
It took her about thirty seconds to recover.
"I can't go into the specifics, but if it weren't for Bessie, I would have already fallen into that trap."
"It seems that not all information can be kept secret. Your mention of 'sinking' already indicates something. It seems that it's not just a simple danger!" Lucci said.
Emma wasn't surprised, because her family had already guessed it.
But this alone won't solve the problem.
In other words, the Stacy family doesn't have anyone with the ability to probe memories, otherwise Emma would have had her memories probed to obtain information about her.
Of course, even if that were the case, another possibility would arise: probing Emma's memories would result in her immediate death.
"Since there are rules within you, then..." Lucci opened his Sharingan.
However, because she was wearing colored contact lenses, no one could tell.
