Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 203, Law 3

Now we'll see what role it can play.

The minotaurs in this secret realm are not the monster NPCs from before, and they are even different from the goblin-like humanoid monsters that appeared before.

The page from the Book of Sacrifice has been completely analyzed and absorbed by the Holy Grail, and its "memory" ability can now be utilized.

In other words, Lucci deliberately imposed restrictions.

Otherwise, the Holy Grail system could easily turn into an evil Holy Grail.

Whether a person's existence is composed of memories and thoughts, Lucci cannot be entirely certain.

However, memory and thought can help the Holy Grail construct "intelligent" NPCs.

They can react differently to what they encounter, based on their memory and thinking.

This group of minotaurs is like that, but it is worth mentioning that they do not have a "self" and are not considered true living beings.

As for the origin of memory and thought, it must come from humans.

And these kinds of things are not uncommon in Kerry City either.

Whether in the past or present, the "peace" in Kerry City is merely due to the good maintenance of order; many dark things still happen in the shadows.

Once those criminals fall into Lu Qi's hands, they will naturally only end up as "materials".

He's somewhat like an evil villain who conducts human experiments.

These minotaurs may look different, but their inner memories and thoughts are dominated by humans, so they are naturally sensitive to the aroma of food.

The aroma of the roasted meat immediately caught the attention of the minotaurs in the tribe.

Soon, three tauren emerged from the tribe and approached the direction where Baal and the others were roasting meat.

The team members who observed this action immediately signaled to Barr and the others.

They also informed Baal that only three minotaurs had emerged, and that even if communication failed and a battle ensued, they could quickly kill the minotaurs and retreat.

Baal and Illumi immediately went on high alert.

Waiting for the arrival of the three minotaurs.

The three minotaurs showed expressions on their faces, and swallowed saliva, clearly captivated by the aroma.

The three minotaurs were all warrior minotaurs, each wielding a stone weapon.

Perhaps because they didn't perceive any danger nearby, they weren't overly cautious.

Soon they saw Baal and Illumi roasting meat over a fire.

They turned their heads in surprise, and then the three of them exchanged a few words.

This amused Lucci.

At the same time, I also felt the power of the Holy Grail.

Or it could be described as the power of the "Third Law".

This is the most powerful force Lucci has ever received for his birthday sign-in.

The core of the Holy Grail system is naturally the "Holy Grail".

The third magic is "the materialization of the soul" and "the perpetual motionization of the soul." This means obtaining an inexhaustible source of magic power and achieving true immortality.

The Holy Grail originated from Einzbern and was established by the Third Magician. It can be said that the homunculus within it was created in an attempt to replicate the Third Magic.

The power of creation is contained within it.

Seeing the changes in these minotaurs, Lucci was reminded of the Heart of Light from Sword Art Online: Alicization.

Those beings that can break free from the "system" can be considered true life forms.

Do these minotaurs have such an opportunity?

Will future characters created for dungeons have this opportunity?

Thinking about this.

This Holy Grail system may need to be expanded further, and I may also need to make some changes to it.

Although this world has no origin, perhaps it is possible to try to obtain the "Third Law" through the Holy Grail.

However, Lucci hasn't yet come up with a clear and good solution.

As Lucci pondered.

Inside the secret realm, the Minotaur and Baal, among others, have already begun communicating.

There were no instances of mutual attacks, because these minotaurs possessed a certain level of intelligence and were not designed to be murderous.

The only problem is the language barrier.

Lucci endowed the intelligent beings in the secret realm with the ability to speak Chinese.

Of course, even though there is a language barrier, it's not impossible to communicate; for example, you can use gestures.

Lucci manipulates the Holy Grail system to figure out why these minotaurs are reacting.

It turns out that it was because they were too tall, while Baal and Illumi, being relatively short, were considered not threatening.

They communicate so freely through gestures because they feel no threat.

The person negotiating was Baal. Although it was just a simple exchange of gestures, it was enough to shock him and make him even more convinced deep down that these things were real.

Baal very kindly offered the roasted meat to the three minotaurs to enjoy.

Lucci witnessed this scene.

"Is it because they are just simple memories and thoughts that they are so simple?" These minotaurs are NPCs created by the Holy Grail itself, and Lucci did not actively intervene.

There wasn't any storyline set up for them.

Lucci was surprised to see that the minotaur quickly trusted Baal and his companions.

"But if that's the case, different adventurers will probably appear."

Adventurers have different perspectives. For some, there's only one word when it comes to the creatures in the secret realm: kill.

Some who believe in the reality of the secret realm dungeons, hoping to encounter truly intelligent and friendly creatures, have a different perspective.

Now that it has actually happened, there will probably be quite a dispute.

After eating the roasted meat, the three minotaurs started gesturing.

They wanted to learn Baal's method of grilling meat.

Minotaur have a simple civilization, so they naturally eat cooked food and use fire to roast meat.

It took me a while to understand what the Minotaur meant.

They were also invited to join the tribe.

Even though they felt it was dangerous, Baal and Illumi still intended to go inside.

Baal simply wanted to make contact with these intelligent creatures of the Mystic Realm, while Illumi wanted to learn more.

Then I'll go back and ask my father if these things can really be done with Nen abilities.

Now even Illumi is starting to doubt whether this place is real.

Baal and Illumi's entry into the tribe naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Seeing these curious looks, they no longer doubted that this was real life.

They also got to meet the leader of the Minotaur tribe.

Based solely on his accent, he is referred to by his name, "Bull Demon King".

"It's a pity we don't have a linguist in our team, otherwise communication would be much smoother." This was Baal's regret.

Meanwhile, their companions outside were somewhat anxious.

Because they don't know what to do?

Baal, on the other hand, simply stayed in the minotaur tribe and taught them.

Besides the initial grilled meat, there were other ingredients and dishes, and even a few cooking tools were made.

It made the minotaurs gasp in surprise.
