I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

The next day…

Moses went to the bounty board to search for any movements of the Erimo Bandit Group.

In order to increase efficiency, he also placed a tracking order with one of his informants.

However, few informants were willing to take on the task. In the end, he raised the reward to 100 million Jenny, and finally, one informant accepted the commission.

Although 100 million was a hefty price, it would most likely provide Moses with precise and concrete intelligence.

After placing the commission, Moses wandered the bounty boards.

He found some trivial information about the Erimo Bandit Group, but most of the discussion still revolved around his confrontation with the Phantom Troupe.

Even though eight or nine days had passed, the incident was still a hot topic.

After browsing the bounty boards for two or three hours with little to show, Moses logged off and resumed his daily training.

After completing his daily training, Moses began to meditate and develop the Kyoka Suigetsu Ability.

Three days passed like this.

Moses finally received the first piece of intelligence about the Elimo Bandit Group's movements from his informant.

"Luluci..."

The informant provided Moses with a location.

Luluci is the largest island in the Balsa Archipelago located at the southernmost point of the Yorbian Continent. Its landmass was three times the size of the Jappon Island that Moses had visited before.

The development of this country is not as good as that of major cities with various high-rise buildings, but it wasn't so backward as to lack modern infrastructure either.

The nation was well-connected internationally due to its booming tourism industry.

As such, Luluci had preserved its beautiful natural landscapes and numerous historical ruins and tombs that had stood the test of time, all while maintaining modern amenities and infrastructure.

Not only that, compared to ancient civilizations that left behind little more than written records, Luluci boasted numerous well-preserved ruins and tombs. The nation even had museums in various locations dedicated to these ancient civilizations.

Each museum displayed a collection of ancient artifacts, including gold objects that had been passed down through the ages.

Thanks to the existence of these ruins, tombs and museums, Luluci's tourism revenue from 'entry fees' alone was astronomical.

Thus, when people talked about Luluci, it was often regarded as an ideal tourist destination.

Aside from the scenic spots, Luluci was also famous for the legendary tale of the [Golden Kingdom at Sunset].

But a legend is just that- a legend. Nowadays, it was nothing more than a topic for tour guides to spice up their narratives.

A few days later…

The airship carrying Moses, Menchi, and Shizuku landed at an airport in Luluci.

Luluci is a nation that balanced between primitive civilization and mechanical modernity, but it is interesting that...

In order to welcome countless travelers from all over the world, Luluci has built one modern and luxurious airport after another at various transportation hubs in the country.

The luxury of these airports is that they are more beautiful and magnificent than the palace in the capital of Luluci.

After exiting the airport, instead of being greeted by taxis or tour buses, Moses and the other two were met with a line of carriages pulled by creatures called Shikama. (T/N: It's a word play of two words. Shika means Deer, and Ma means Horse. So this thing can be called Deer Horse in English.)

These creatures were tall and sturdy, yet gentle in temperament. Their bodies resembled those of horses, but their heads were like those of deer, crowned with coral-like antlers.

When one first see this creature, it feels like the creator got drunk and randomly merged a horse and a deer together.

Moses looked at the carriage attached to the Shikama and didn't know whether to call it a deer cart or a horse carriage.

"It's called Horned Carriage."

In the end, it was the driver who helped Moses solve the problem.

Riding in the horned carriage, Moses and his companions headed toward the nearest city from the airport.

They had come to Luluci based on intelligence provided by their informant, so the next step was to wait for the informant to give more detailed information.

Details such as which region or which city to focus on...

Only at that time will the final payment for the informant's services would be settled.

"Looks like it's going to rain."

Menchi said as she leaned against the round window of the horned carriage, gazing at the increasingly overcast sky.

Hearing Menchi's words, the driver of the horned carriage suddenly laughed and said, "You all look pretty young. I bet you didn't do much research before coming here, did you?"

"Yeah, it was a last-minute decision, and just came here after deciding."

Moses glanced at the driver's back and replied with a smile.

The driver kept his eyes on the road and said, "It's the rainy season, so most tourists avoid visiting this country around this time. But... there are always some, like you, who come without doing their homework."

As soon as he finished speaking, raindrops began to fall from the sky.

Within just two or three seconds, the rain intensified dramatically, and the rain fell on the top of the carriage with loud, steady rhythm.

Moses glanced at the downpour outside the window and didn't say anything. Instead, he responded to the driver's comments with a soft chuckle.

But the driver seems to be quite talkative. He continued, offering some reassurance, "But you don't have to be discouraged. You can always visit the museums first, and then go to the scenic spots or ruins when the rain subsides. In fact, coming here during this time isn't all bad. At least you won't have to deal with the crowds."

After a brief pause, the driver added a word of caution, "By the way, a mausoleum was recently discovered in the Taro Region. It's been sealed off, and the nearby attractions are temporarily closed too. You might want to avoid that area when planning your trip, so you don't waste your time."

"Thanks for the heads-up."

Moses thanked the driver politely.

'The Taro Region and a newly discovered tomb…'

'Could the Erimo Bandit Group's presence in Luluci be related to this?'

Based on the information he had so far, Moses knew the Erimo Bandit Group often targeted newly discovered ruins or tombs, and they acted without any regard for consequences...

Once they set their sights on a target, they would usually massacre the officials tasked with excavating or restoring the ruins, then plunder any valuable artifacts inside.

Also, because of their rather brutal style of action, the ruins and tombs they raided often suffered varying degrees of permanent damage.

In a sense…

Many countries that valued their ancient relics saw the Erimo Bandit Group as a greater threat than even the Phantom Troupe.

Moses couldn't be sure if the Erimo Bandit Group had come to Luluci because of the tomb in the Taro region, but it was valuable information to keep in mind. Until his informant provided more specific intel, Moses decided to head toward the Taro Region first.

Who knows, he might be able to find the traces of the Erimo Bandit Group before he received the next update of intelligence...

As long as he can kill two or three members of the Erimo Bandit Group during this hunt, Moses will be able to secure the Single-Star title.

And if the situation permits, Moses wouldn't mind killing every member of the Erimo Bandit Group he meets here.

If everything went smoothly…

He will become the fastest Blacklist Hunter in the history of the Hunter Association to obtain the Single-Star.

More precisely,

He is the fastest Pro Hunter across all fields to attain a Single-Star title.

As the Shikama galloped through the storm, the carriage rolled steadily onward.

…

Luluci, Emma Airport.

A man wearing a white turban and with an unkempt face stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the waiting hall, quietly watching the heavy rain outside.

"Rainy season..."

The man whispered to himself.
