Chapter 1124: East Gorteau

The so-called "don't hit a smiling person," not to mention such a respectful attitude.

"Maha, that old fox."

Su Xiao certainly knew what was going on. Hearing Su Xiao call Maha an old fox, Zeno and Silva both had expressions as if they hadn't heard it.

Zeno took Su Xiao into the Zoldyck family's ancient castle and headed straight for the basement. After opening more than a dozen extremely secret mechanisms, Zeno took a carbon box out of a high-strength alloy safe.

This carbon box was about the size of a briefcase, completely sealed. From that pitch-black exterior, one could feel the sturdiness of this thing.

Zeno pressed his hand on the carbon box, and Nen energy emerged.

With a *crack*, several protrusions popped out on both sides of the carbon box, and a crack appeared in the middle. Zeno breathed a long sigh of relief and handed the carbon box to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took the carbon box. This thing was extremely heavy; although the volume was not large, it had a weight of at least 500 catties.

Opening the carbon box, there were seven grooves inside. In five of the grooves were five Soul Crystals (Large), and in the other two grooves were a very thin notebook and a card.

【You have obtained Soul Crystal (Large) x5.】

【You have obtained Melee Combat Mastery Lv. 25 (Scroll).】

【You have obtained Hunter License (Two-Star).】

These three types of things were the gifts Maha had left behind.

"Even the funeral arrangements were prepared."

Su Xiao put away the Soul Crystals and the mastery scroll. This was the other choice for not killing Killua. The harvest of this kind was definitely not lower than killing Killua. Killua was indeed a child of destiny, but he was not a complete body.

"..."

Zeno didn't make a sound. When Maha was alive, Su Xiao was a collaborator. Now that Maha was gone, if Su Xiao harbored malice, then the Zoldyck family would basically be finished; they couldn't block this god of slaughter.

From the beginning, the people of the Zoldyck family knew that Su Xiao was definitely not a mercenary or a thug, but a "plague god" who could help them.

This "plague god" could help them solve the family's biggest problem, and could also wipe out their family. The "plague god" came uninvited; if they wanted to send him away, it was best to be polite.

Su Xiao tossed the Hunter License in his hand. With this thing, actions in the Hunter world would be much more convenient.

The Hunter License was a very special document. To obtain this thing, one needed to pass the Hunter Association's assessment. As for being promoted to two-star, one also needed to complete not-insignificant meritorious deeds.

After possessing a Hunter License, one could enter and exit 90% of countries where ordinary civilians were prohibited from entering. More than 95% of public facilities worldwide could be used for free, and one could enter some ruins, dangerous areas, etc., where entry was explicitly prohibited.

This Hunter License was not bound to identity; no matter who got it, they could use it. This belonged to illegal use, which was also one of the tests of the Hunter Association for the hunters under its command. If one couldn't even keep the license, then one wasn't qualified to continue being a hunter.

Su Xiao tossed the Hunter License in his hand and turned to walk outside the ancient castle. His goal had been achieved; it was time to leave Kukuroo Mountain.

Learning that Su Xiao was leaving, Zeno and Silva, although they didn't see him off, also sent him all the way to the Testing Gate.

"Mr. Byakuya, remember to come to the Zoldyck family as a guest when you have time."

Zeno was just being polite. Compared to the safety of the family's younger generation, he certainly didn't hope for Su Xiao to come often. Su Xiao had a good relationship with Maha, but that didn't mean Su Xiao had a good relationship with the Zoldyck family. If they provoked this plague god, it would be bad.

"Oh, I will come as a guest when I have time."

Su Xiao's answer made Zeno's old face stiffen.

This was the way of cooperation between villains and villains. Su Xiao couldn't be considered a good person, and Maha wasn't a good person either. As for the Zoldyck family, a family of assassins, did one expect them to be open and honest? Don't joke.

Compared to the cooperation in the past where they turned against each other at the last moment, this cooperation was already very harmonious.

Driving a black sedan gifted by the Zoldyck family, Su Xiao headed straight for the nearest airship station.

Compared to the situation at Kukuroo Mountain, East Gorteau, the deployment location of the main mission, was exceptionally lively.

East Gorteau was a small country relatively low on the map of the Hunter world. This was an autonomous country. The so-called autonomous country meant that the V5 organization could not interfere in the internal affairs of this country.

Did East Gorteau have any secret weapons? Or did it have any special features? Thereby making V5 wary?

Not at all, because East Gorteau was too damn poor—poor to the point that V5 didn't look down on it. In the view of the V5 organization, the only role of such a poor country was to lower the "GDP" of all countries. Moreover, East Gorteau was located on the edge of the map; it was neither a strategic location nor did it have any resources.

According to the budget of the V5 organization's finance department, if the V5 organization included East Gorteau in the United Nations' sphere of influence, not only would it not bring benefits, but they would also have to spend money to provide relief every year, which was simply a loss that outweighed the gain.

Therefore, the V5 organization threw East Gorteau aside and incidentally gave it autonomy. That meant: don't open your mouth to ask us for money; you are an autonomous country.

This made the royal family of East Gorteau happy. The royal family of East Gorteau didn't care at all whether the civilians were suffering; they only needed to be able to enjoy themselves.

One could imagine what kind of scene a pleasure-seeking royal family ruling an autonomous country would have. In East Gorteau, all modern items were prohibited. Even for farming, one had to use livestock or human labor.

The prohibition of modern items made the living situation of East Gorteau civilians worse. They lived a life of men farming and women weaving. Strangely, the happiness level of East Gorteau civilians was not low, because their wishes were too simple: food to fill their stomachs and clothes to cover their bodies were enough.

The hereditary royal family drank and made merry every day. As for the prohibition of modern items, they were not bound by this rule.

After Su Xiao took an airship for 12 hours, he arrived at a small country near East Gorteau. As for why he didn't arrive directly in East Gorteau, the reason was simple: there was no airship station there, and airships were prohibited from flying over it.

Su Xiao walked off the airship. He had slept the whole way. The few days at Kukuroo Mountain had truly exhausted him.

Wanting to enter East Gorteau, this was not difficult for Su Xiao. With the two-star Hunter License in hand, entering and exiting here was as easy as turning over his hand. Su Xiao suspected that this two-star Hunter License wasn't something Maha had taken from the Hunter Association, but something obtained after killing a hunter.

There were no transportation tools in East Gorteau, so Su Xiao could only walk forward. While traveling, Su Xiao opened the derived world communication platform. The communication platform was exceptionally lively.

Old Gun (Qingyou Adventure Group): "Recruiting Tier 3 melee contractors, main tank preferred."

White Giant (Xiongfeng Guild): "Urgent call for Tier 3 main tank, support system, magic user, main tank magic user preferred, generous treatment."

Blood Agate (Solo): "Scum of the Qingyou Adventure Group, still recruiting cannon fodder? I'm not dead; don't even think about hunting Chimera Ants in peace again."

Small and medium-sized adventure groups in the Hunter world were all active because they discovered that there were very few strong people in the Hunter world this time. There were only a few dangerous contractors, and those people's targets were the Ant King or the three guards. More importantly, those people were not in the East Gorteau area; they were waiting for the birth of the Ant King and were all fishing for benefits in other areas now.

As for the Chimera Ants at the squadron leader level, not many people went to hunt them, so these small and medium-sized adventure groups set their targets on the Chimera Ants at the squadron leader level.

However, these small and medium-sized adventures didn't know that those dangerous lone wolves were arriving in East Gorteau one after another, and their happy time was about to end.

"Unexpectedly lively."

Su Xiao closed the derived world communication platform. He had already arrived at the border area of East Gorteau. u ===== CHAPTER 1125 =====
