Short Summary
Gon, Kurapika and Leorio reach Dolle Harbor and are given a tip by the captain to head for the cedar tree on the hilltop behind the city. Moving through a small town, the three are stopped by a group of masked people and an old woman posts a riddle requiring them to choose between two possible answers. A scheming participant who has followed the three goes ahead to answer and is allowed to pass. The old woman then poses a similar question to the three, angering Leorio for such question has no correct answer. It dawns to Kurapika that it is a trick question and manages to stop Leorio from attacking the old woman. When the time is up and no answer is given, they are sent to the correct path, as the right answer is silence. Upon reaching the cedar tree, they find the navigators being attacked by a shapeshifting creature, the Kiriko. While Leorio tends to the wounded man, Gon and Kurapika go after the creature who kidnaps the woman. They later discovered that the couple and the beasts are actually a family. Impressed, the creatures reveal themselves to be the navigators and fly them to the exam venue.
