Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

Legends, the capital of the Lejurus commercial country.

It is a city with a total population of 100,000, as well as a logistical hub where various objects gather.

It is a country where so much wealth gathers, but it has never suffered a massive invasion from a geographical problem. Nevertheless, it is not at all unprotected: a ten-metre outer wall was preventing the invasion of the outer enemy.

Your ID, please.

Entry and exit from the city can only be made from large gates, east, west and north.

The gates are large enough for carriages to line up, and in case they are closed with sturdy steel doors.

Dozens of soldiers were carrying out rigorous checks in front of the gate.

The same goes for people entering the legend, but even the luggage is tightly controlled.

Because it's a place you can't survive unless it's as tough as that.

Soldiers came to us to check it out.

From here on out, it's primarily William's job to respond.

"Thank you very much."

William presents his ID. The name of the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce is not even known to foreign countries, but it was accepted without any problems because it was a proper ID.

A soldier who was checking his ID raises his face.

"On what errand this time to Legends?

"As a merchant, I wanted to visit Legends because I could do it once for later school. For once, although I brought the product, these are now available."

"Right."

It's not uncommon for a merchant to visit Legends for later school.

Therefore, it is accepted without any suspicion.

Another four soldiers inspect the carriage and go.

The carriage is loaded with what you got at the stop. However, there was not much to sell in the village where I stopped because of the winter. Now the majority of the wooden dishes I got in the village I stopped by just a minute ago.

"You got a minute?

A soldier approaching who was talking to William.

I don't have a problem talking to you. I was at a distance, so I don't need to get close.

Stand ready to attack actions that may seem futile at any time.

"... you know what I mean"

Make a ring with your thumb and index finger of your hand as you guard your surroundings.

The body of the soldier and William makes it invisible to others, but my eyes just looked at it.

I'm used to the way you care about your surroundings.

Obviously not my first demand.

"Is it the Legends way to make such a request"

"Are you sure? It's not hard to capture you in this place."

No matter how many ten escorts there are, if there are dozens of opponents, they will be subdued after a few minutes. That's common sense.

But there's more troublesome trouble than that.

"... it would be troublesome if they made a scene here"

Let them grip one gold coin.

Soldier demands - it was a bribe.

Soldiers don't want to do such a cumbersome task either. But there are many who want to do it because they can take bribes from those who wish to enter the Legend.

A soldier who was dealing with William communicates his will by gazing at the soldier who was confirming the carriage.

I took the bribe.

No further pointless confirmation work is required.

"Looks like you don't have a problem with your luggage. Let me check on the others."

Non-William business members issue similar identification cards.

The private soldiers and Mr. Freddie will also present documents attesting to the fact that they were employed by the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce at the same time as their identity cards. They are also accepted without problems because the certificate is properly pressed with the Alcaine Chamber of Commerce imprint.

"Next -"

Present the Adventurer card because you were asked to present your ID.

Speaking of other ID cards, it's about the ID cards issued by the bureau, but even if it says "adventurer," it doesn't even say it's ranked. Again, it is easier to prove that you are a trustworthy, high-ranking adventurer.

"Hmm... all A-rank adventurers. The slightest suspicion is that I can't even see the forgery of something. No problem."

"Thank you"

Slightly more or less, it enters the city without the problem of what stands out as a transverse attitude.

... No, I can't say that nothing went wrong because I had to bribe him.

"I didn't expect you to demand a bribe."

"Legends have grown too big. It's not uncommon in big cities to end up like that."

Alistair also has an environment called the periphery of something that is a big city, and few people do that. But even in silence, the legends that many things could gather to make a profit had nothing to do with that spirit.

"That's a legend, so we can call it a craftsman."

There's no reason not to use legends in places.

That's why demands for bribes go through.

"Besides, this is the one who'd be in trouble if they made a scene there."

I'm going to be working within the legend.

Nonetheless, if things were to cause noise, they would come in the way of future activities. Not to mention that the opponent is a Legends soldier. I don't know what bullshit sin I can make up.

Above all, I avoided hostility with Legends.

Hostile to legends developed by commerce is synonymous with death sentences for merchants.

Some bribes have to be split up as necessary expenses.

"Is this the commercial city legend?"

Many shops line the boulevard just ahead of you through the gate.

Inside the legend, people are everywhere as far as they can see because many people stop by. The population is 100,000, but there are more than numbers because there are more people stopping by than that.

The building is wooden using blocks. Is it built in a special way? The walls are thick and seem sturdy. The same goes for the outer walls, but the ones inside seem to be well prepared in case.

The same goes for raids from the outside, but with a lot of money on hand, we also have to be alert to internal raids.

"So, what are we going to do?

I hadn't confirmed my plans since I arrived.

Nevertheless, what we do is basically the same.

More than William's escort is an ostensible request, it must be properly accomplished. I need to stand aside as an escort because it is possible that the escort will be licked as a woman. I wish there was someone else to support me.

And Freddie and the others. There's no reason for Zorozoro and everyone to come around, so it's enough for a couple of people from each other's parties to get escorts.

Later members will have plenty of time.

Though Freddie is a party member, Ladd and the others are supposed to rest in their rooms and try to recover while they are not on escort. Nevertheless, there is free time because waiting in the room forever can clog your breath. In the meantime, he said he was going to visit a whorehouse or casino.

I was invited, but there were family members nearby, and they made me say no.

It's not that I'm not interested.

But I can't go because I'm scared, considering if they know when I go silently.

Let's let them gather information during those free hours.

"I'm going to see someone"

"A person?

"Oh. He's the union head of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry."
