Legend

Huge enough to be overwhelmed.

That was what Ray was feeling before the sight he had seen at the end of his gaze.

It's bigger than the only city on the border, Gilm, or the largest port town in the kingdom of Mireana, Emosion, or the labyrinth city of Exil, which has gathered 10 or 20 of the largest cities Ray knows. That was the capital of the Bestian Empire.

This huge city is surrounded by walls that can even be considered heavy, and Ray can't imagine how much effort it would take just to build the walls.

The sight even looks like it's spreading across the horizon, even though there's still a long way to go to Empire City.

It was the first time I had ever felt that my open mouth would not be blocked.

"This is... awesome"

Next to such a ray, the knight who is escorting the Dusker similarly whines again.

Some of the knights had gone to the king capital of the kingdom of Mireana as the offering of Dasker, but this knight apparently had no experience with it.

"Well, it's the capital of the Bestian Empire. The only capital, so thorough that you don't give it a name other than Imperial City. I guess that's all I'm confident of."

The other knights around him nod again as they were convinced by that word, which another knight shrugged.

For there are many of them who know the king's capital of the kingdom of Mireana, but all they could say was that it was enormous compared to it.

It is understandable that if you do see this sight, the Empire is the only capital, and you will not even have to dare to give it a name other than the Empire.

Other carriages, merchants, and adventurers pass beside the staring at the Empire, including Ray in that way.

I'm not stopping, but I'm guessing a lot of people want to get inside the Imperial Capital in a little hurry.

I knew the reason as soon as I got near the Imperial City.

There's quite a queue in front of the main entrance.

That's the 1000-person queue.

"... hey, I hate to ask, but let me hear it for once. Could that queue wait in order to enter the capital?

I don't want to hear it. But you have to ask. A knight nods bitterly at Ray's words, who opened his mouth with such complicated thoughts.

"That's right. I've never been to the Imperial capital of the Bestian Empire before, so I can't tell you anything, but I'm guessing there's probably a lot of guests at the fight."

"Well, it feels like a festival to name the Bestian Empire. Naturally looking forward to it, tourists will come from all over the Bestian Empire, and there are many other guests invited by the surrounding countries, like Dusker."

"No, but... you can't judge this number of people today alone, no matter what you think, right?

Even now, as Ray whines, even though more than a thousand people seem to be queuing, we're going to line up behind a new queue from next to next.

If this is a village somewhere in the countryside, it's the capital of the Bestian Empire. Naturally, it will also be stricter when it comes to checks when going inside, and it will naturally take longer to process.

Given that, I didn't think Ray would be able to complete the process by the end of the day with all the people in line, though not very much.

But the knight snorts lightly at Ray's words like that.

"That's right. So, look, some guys have that kind of thing."

At the end of the knight's gaze was the figure of the man who prepared the tent.

"I mean, why wait here in line until tomorrow? It's not a very good way to do things around the border."

In the middle of the night, a wide variety of monsters will jump around the guilds, and such imitation will probably cost a lot of lives.

It was a sight because it was safe around the Imperial City.

It doesn't mean it's safe. Because sometimes people come out attacked by monsters like goblins.

The explanation of the knight continues toward Ray, who has a half-expressed, half-expressed look on his face.

"And so is the king's capital of the kingdom of Mireana, but there are quite a few people who can be judged at a time because they do it with multiple guards. Sometimes rows are divided into adventurers, merchants, travelers, etc."

"... in our case?

The words that came out of the knight's mouth were divided into the winds of adventurers, merchants and travellers, but there were no nobles among them.

Then the knight smiles and opens his mouth to the question of what they will do, led by Dusker.

"Absolutely nothing but nobility. Look, over there."

Beyond the gaze of the knight who told him so, there existed a gate about a turn larger than the one lined with visitors to the Empire City.

There's a guard-like figure there, too, but when he exchanges words with your man for a few seconds, he keeps it bare.

Because of the aristocratic gate, the number of people heading there is overwhelmingly small compared to the general area, and passes through the gate very smoothly because they have not even checked their luggage or anything.

"... again, you make a lot of difference. No, I knew it."

If you do one bad job, you need to go wild for a few days, and one is near bare street.

Ray groaned as if he was surprised by the difference in treatment, but the knight just nodded naturally.

"Nobles and civilians. That's natural. Besides, do we bother to make the nobles we invite wait outside the capital for days? If you imitate that, you will undoubtedly crush the face of the Bestian Empire"

"I see, so is that.... Well, I'd be lying if I didn't want to see that sight"

Past the back of his brain, he squeals so unexpectedly at the sight of a magnificently dressed aristocrat sleeping in a tent.

I guess the knight had the same imagination as Ray. He was hiccups on his cheeks to force him to hold down his grin.

To those rays, one of the knights who was moving on speaks up.

"Hey, let's go! Even if you still have time to spare, I want to keep you inside the Imperial Capital as soon as possible!

"Ah, oh. Okay... Shh, I'll be right there..."

A knight who tells you that he is killing while pressing for a laugh attack.

I don't think it made sense to hold your belly from the top of your armor, Ray, but I guess the knight was so attacked by a laugh attack that he had to.

"... Seto, go"

"Gru?"

If you tell him that while stroking Seto's neck you're riding, is Seto okay? and tilt his little neck.

There was a lot to think about, Ray, but delays like this won't always go unnoticed later.

For that reason, he abandoned the knight, who was suffering from a laughter attack, and caught up with a line of Duskers in front.

"What's wrong with him?

Ray, who has caught up to me, is asked by a knight who has spoken earlier.

That gaze is directed at a knight who imitates more like a strange dance in the rear than we do ourselves.

Of course I'm not dancing, I'm managing to contain my laughter attacks.

"There's a lot of stuff that's accumulating."

"... I see. However, once we're in the capital, we'll be seen as representatives of the Mireana kingdom, so I'd rather not go to a whorehouse or anything."

"Do you have time for that in the first place? Escort, right?"

"It's not like everyone else has to be escorted at all times. I think it will probably be about three shifts.... and I have an elk in the sense of escort."

I have an elk. At that point, the knight tells you that you have little to worry about when it comes to escorts.

In fact, a Rank A Adventurer has that much strength and reputation.

Moreover, in this case the most famous is Elk, who is also the representative of the Axe of the Thunder God, but even for his wife Min, he is the Wizard of the Rank A Adventurer, so there was no reason to feel comfortable in many ways.

(I hope I don't have to be alarmed or something)

While I think that way, Ray says something completely different.

"So, what are your plans after you get inside the Imperial Capital?

"First of all, the inn. For a while now... the Inn is important because we will be staying in Teiku until the end of the fight."

"... With this crowd, can we take the inn now?

At the end of the line of sight are countless people who are going through procedures to get inside the Imperial Capital that we saw earlier.

Today, beyond the sudden gathering of this many people, it is natural that there are already a large number of tourists, merchants, adventurers, etc. in the Imperial capital, and unless it is a special circumstance such as for those people or having a home they know, they will stay in the Inn.

Isn't the inn completely buried already? To Ray, who put that meaning into his mouth, the knight opens his eyes for a moment, but nods and opens his mouth as soon as he is convinced.

"Don't worry about it. In the first place, we are… to be precise, Master Dusker is receiving an invitation from this country. Beyond that, they have accommodation on the other side."

"... Really?

"Well, of course you do. In the first place, please take the inn in our own stomach while we invite ourselves. The face of the Empire is crushed. And..."

To the cloudy knight of words, Ray leans his neck small.

At the same time, Seto was also tilting his neck, as if imitating Ray, who tilted his neck over his own back.

But the knight shakes his neck sideways saying it's nothing without answering it.

(If you imitate that to Dear Dusker, who is also a guest from the kingdom of Mireana in the victorious kingdom, that will be the diplomatic issue.... However, Lady Dusker doesn't have Ray anyway. I'm pretty sure there's someone out there who's going to give me some kind of a little bit. Especially since Ray and Seto have had their hands gazed long before they got here, and they've given us a little bit of it)

"Anyway. When you enter the capital, you'll be guided by the castle. Follow the directions to the inn.... Well, don't worry, it will definitely be a luxury inn. Like the village we stopped in during the rainstorm before, the stables are empty and Seto can't get in, because it's not the first thing."

"Gru!"

To the words of the knight, Seto, who sounds his throat with joy.

Fortunately, it was not given particular attention because it was far from the queue of ordinary people, but if it had been nearby, it would have given countless gazes.

... No, I've already got a lot of eyes pointed at me at the point where I'm on a griffon.

But the gaze of this hand, which can be directed after entering the Bestian Empire, was already familiar to Ray.

Except if you're going to get your hands on it, but there's also a reason why you can't do this to someone who's just looking at you.

For this reason, while somewhat unpleasant, Ray heads with the knight to the gate dedicated to nobility.

Also, the knight, who had a strange dance after a laughter attack until earlier, finally had his seizure subsided, running his horse like a panic and catching up with the Rays.

After that, we arrive at the gate with nothing particularly wrong and immediately walk over to the carriage, where the guards are at the head.

"Excuse me, which nobleman is it?

Naturally, the tone of asking was polite.

There is also the possibility that if you imitate disrespectfully than the other person is noble, you will be slashed away on the spot at worst... so I guess you had to deal with it that way.

However, with Ray and Seto in sight before the guards opened their mouths, there was a general anticipation.

"I am the Larks Borderline Uncle of the Kingdom of Mireana. I've been invited to martial arts competitions."

The man in the carriage hands over some documents he had while returning words to the guards.

There is an invitation sent out by the Bestian Empire and the fact that this carriage belongs to the Larks Border Uncle, with the names of those to whom that line belongs, common as nobles of other countries entering the Empire at this time.

A guard who glances quickly at the paperwork.

We need to be strict about checking invitations and documents because we don't know what they're going to say when we wait for nobles here, and we don't necessarily have the kind of criminals who forge documents.

He was a guard who was asked for the paradoxical ability of hurrying while strictly checking, but fortunately this guard was able to excel and saw such a noticeable combination that there was no more like Ray and Seto, so he finishes checking in about a minute.

"Yes, let me confirm. You seem to have an obedient demon, so hang this up."

That's what the guards said. It was the obedient devil's necklace that took it out.

Ray gets off Seto and approaches the guard and receives it.

"Do you need an explanation about this?

"No, it doesn't mean it's different from country to country, does it?

"Yes, it will.... So, uh... yes, the conductor seems to be here, so ask him what happened after you entered the Imperial Capital."

At the end of the guard's gaze was an old man in his 50s courtesy inside the gate.

"Welcome to the Empire of the Bestian Empire, dear Lord Larks Border. I hope you have a good time."

Thus, the Dusker line will finally set foot in the imperial capital of the Bestian Empire.
