Starting as an inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Page 155

The resentment from being busy with chores all dissipated with the appearance of these foods.

"An invention that allows trees to grow food~~~"

Even while working, the fierce fox father kept an eye on Mog's movements.

Seeing him perform such a miraculous feat again truly filled him with awe.

"If it has so many amazing inventions, then perhaps..."

Suddenly, another idea popped into the mind of the fierce fox father.

"With Mog's abilities, it's entirely possible for him to do it~~~"

It remembered a legend, a legend about how these fierce foxes had been passed down from generation to generation.

"Let's talk about it after the house is rebuilt."

The father of the fierce fox shook his head, temporarily suppressing the thought in his heart.

It must be said that after completing these conditions and capabilities...

The fierce fox father did things with incredible speed and efficiency.

With swift and decisive action, the fox's new house was ready in less than two days.

"That completes the task!!"

Standing before the giant redwood tree, the fierce fox father clapped his hands, extremely satisfied with his masterpiece.

Under the redwood tree, the newly erected house was far superior to the original, crudely made wooden hut.

Each tree fits together perfectly.

Moreover, the saws were all assembled in a very orderly manner.

When these trees are neatly arranged together, and each point is connected in a very standard way.

It's like the products of a large-scale machine manufacturer in the outside world.

The cleanliness of the exterior and the decoration are far superior to the original.

"And they already have a two-story house."

The fierce fox father opened the door and led everyone inside, where he proudly introduced the group.

His two little children had already rushed in excitedly and impatiently.

They were chattering and cheering there, very happy and excited about the reconstruction of the new house.

Even the fierce fox wife couldn't help but gleam with admiration as she looked at the brand-new house.

Clearly, the entire fox family was extremely satisfied with the newly rebuilt house.

"Incredible craftsmanship!!"

Mog genuinely praised, "At least, even if it were an ordinary human master carpenter..."

"It's impossible to build such a house in just two short days."

"You're really giving me too much credit~~~"

Hearing Mog compare himself to a master carpenter among humans.

The fierce fox father was overjoyed.

He waved his hand modestly, but his eyes narrowed even more into slits as he smiled.

Clearly, it was in a particularly good mood after rebuilding its new home.

"But in the end, it's just a magical beast..."

At this point, the father of the fierce fox suddenly stopped.

Then, a rare look of hesitation appeared on his face.

"what happened?"

Seeing its appearance, Mog casually asked, "Is there any other problem?"

"No problem."

The fierce fox father shook his head. "I'm just thinking about how to repay you."

"repay?!"

Mog laughed upon hearing this: "Do you really need to bring up something like this with me?"

"The best reward you can give me is to safely get me to the venue for the official test."

"That's different!"

The father of the fierce fox emphasized, "This is my job, and I'm going to do it well no matter what."

"But rebuilding the house is my private matter, and if I don't get something in return..."

The fierce fox father said firmly, "I also feel guilty."

Having said that, it seemed as if it had actually made a decision.

He walked straight out the door, ran to the base of the giant redwood tree, and started digging at it with all his might.

Soon, he dug something out of the ground and carried it to Mog.

"A metal box?"

Mog immediately spotted the mud-covered iron box that the fierce fox father was holding in his arms.

Moreover, the box looks very old, belonging to a style and finished product from a long time ago.

"Actually, our fierce fox clan was not originally a magical beast."

Before Mog could even ask a question, the first sentence from the fierce fox's father startled him.

"In the words of my father, my grandfather, and my great-grandfather, we were originally all human beings, ordinary and perfectly normal human beings."

The father of the fierce fox said in a low voice, "But on a certain day many years ago..."

“One of my ancestors, while on an adventure, came to a dark jungle.”

"In the woods, he found a lake and was about to drink some water and relax when..."

"But suddenly he heard a very strange melody from the lake, like the sound of a harp being played."

"My ancestors were immediately captivated by the melody the moment they heard it."

Even if he sensed something was wrong, the moment the music started playing, he was no longer under his control.

"In the words of my ancestor, he himself did not know whether he had listened to the whole piece of music."

"Because later, his consciousness was intermittent and almost disappeared."

"He only woke up with a start after the music had completely disappeared from his mind..."

The father of the fierce fox also became bittersweet as he spoke:

"But when he woke up and went to drink water, he discovered..."

"I have become what I am now."

The fierce fox father chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Such a monster's appearance..."

"No, it has truly become a demonic beast."

"Fortunately, our intelligence, our thinking, and our vocal cords are exactly the same as those of humans and have been well preserved."

"Ever since my ancestors became like this, they have been constantly searching for a way to change back."

"Especially that extremely strange melody, it is absolutely the culprit that has made us the way we are now."

“From my ancestors to my father’s generation, they have been relentlessly searching for the truth of that melody.”

"And by the time it came to my father's generation, they finally reaped some rewards."

"But it is precisely because of this that our entire family has come to terms with it."

"Because of that melody..."

The fierce fox father stared at Mog, who had been listening silently to his recounting of the past.

At this juncture, the latter suddenly spoke up:

"It's the [Dark Sonata], right?"

Mog delivered the correct answer: "And it's the melody from the Harp Chapter?"

"That's right!!!"

The fierce fox father nodded menacingly, his eyes already somewhat red.

"It's that legendary piece, supposedly composed by the Demon King!!!"

【Dark Sonata】, a legendary musical score from this continent.

Composed by the Demon King, it includes solo pieces for four categories: piano, violin, flute, and harp.

Humans will suffer a fatal disaster after playing or listening to it.

The flute section of this score caused an irreversible change to the appearance of the melody of Kurapika's bodyguard, colleague, and friend, the Music Hunter.

Moreover, his friend died on the spot after performing while intoxicated.

In terms of melody, it's like this: "I was listening to a flute solo at the time, and they played it because they were drunk that day."

“I only listened to one movement and I became like this, while the friend who played it back then is already dead.”

"I traded my healthy body for Nen abilities, but I still want to restore my original body. Now I don't want anyone else to be like me, so I'm going to find the sheet music and destroy it."

Even someone like Melody had his appearance distorted by the Dark Sonata.

Not to mention the fierce fox's ancestors.

After hearing the sonata with the harp part, the humans were directly transformed into monsters.

This is even more thorough than the change in melody.

Although it also possesses intelligent behaviors such as the ability to transform into human form, think, and speak.

But their true nature has changed; they have transformed from humans into magical beasts.
