The Ethereal Princes, who shared information in the Inn, finally made their way to the Empire.
One row was in line for Empire Admission.
"Heh, is this the Empire? Ah. That's amazing."
'Wow' that Leila speaks of. That was what Aotearoa, Deena and Atra, even the ancient dragons, felt.
"It's amazing many times what I read in the book..."
"Ah......"
Deena and Aotearoa had still opened their mouths when they looked at the portal at the entrance, even though they had not reached the entrance. The Imperial Castle Gate is famous for its splendour in various books. The walls stretching out full of sight are not just large, nor are the decorations gorgeous. But the majestic standing even felt hectic.
Gu Long jumped up to see his full body and was grabbed by Ethereal Tail the moment he thought about heading into the sky but feathered his wings.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
I accuse Ethereum of being surprised, but I was annoyed because Ethereum was looking at him narrowly.
"You know why I stopped, don't you?
The ancient dragon nodded over and over again, bewildered by its power. I realized I was totally drunk by the atmosphere around the castle gate.
"Shh, I'm sorry. Speaking of which, I can see it from here. The Dragon Knight and the Doraemon."
Everyone looked into the sky at the voice. There were knights on a flying dragon flying over it.
"Wow, there's a lot of them."
The Dragon Knight Squad was just about to go on sentinel duty, performing swirling, flying side by side and crossing with the meaning of a welcome to travellers who came to the Empire in conjunction with the preparatory movement before it. And he drew various shapes with that line through the magic light from the magic props he put on his tail.
The others in line for admission were sighted and in love with the move, which they had seen for the first time.
"Is that... the same idea as an aviation unit acting"
Only Aotearoa was surprised by the sight in a different way from the others.
It was because I had seen a fighter make such a move at an aviation festival when I was on Earth.
"Has Mr. Sota ever seen that one?
Deena asks a question when she sees Ethereum reacting differently than the others.
"Uh, something similar when I was in the country. Of course it wasn't a dragon, but it was like a light coming out of my tail like that, so I was drawing shapes."
"Heh... wow, the Empire is doing the same thing as in the country where Aotearoa was..."
Deena, who had listened with admiration, stuck to one prediction, and Aotearoa nodded to it and replied.
"Well, that's an amazing thing to pull out. I mean, I thought the Dragon Knight Squad was for the restraint of hostile forces, but this is a successful strategy to make you have a good image. From what I can see in the distance, I guess that's what it means for knights and flying dragons to be luxuriously equipped for their looks"
As Aotearoa put it, the Dragon Knight Troops were equipped of different quality than the average Imperial Knight.
"You're thinking a lot."
Talking about that comes the order of the Ethereals. Quite a few people lined up for admission, but the admission screening went smoother than I thought.
"Yes, could you all step out of the carriage?
Everyone got out of the carriage as instructed by the guards.
I could tell it was coming close, but the checking of admission seemed to be going smoothly because it was divided into multiple parts. It also seemed to take the form of listening in a jar built nearby without dealing with the rubbed entrants in the field.
"Thank you. Can I see your ID next?
"Okay."
Aotea replies, Deena, and Leila submit Adventurer Alliance cards together. At the same time he showed the collar of the Beast Demon Registration of Atra and Gu Long.
"Yes, all three of you are fine. Two of your beast demons are fine, too. Next, please touch your crystals in order… Yes, it's done."
The man notes in the document at hand that the three of them had no problems touching the crystal.
In other cities and elsewhere, we simply checked to see if it was admissible, but the Empire kept a record of who entered when.
"Hey, are you filling that all in?
"What, oh, that's our ledger. Yes, I'm filling in here to manage my day's entrance and exit."
Aotearoa questioned the guard because he was concerned, and the guard taught him casually. I thought Ethereum had a hard time being a paper medium even though I had no choice, but I was impressed with these controls more than that.
"This is getting pretty exciting."
Although it had its original purpose, that aside from the fact that admission alone could surprise a number of people. Aotearoa was simply excited to think that she might be waiting for more surprises than this once inside.
"Heh heh, Mr. Sorta, that sounds like fun. I know how you feel, you wonder what happens after you get inside when you're level in a variety of ways."
That's the same with the other three, looking around a little bit.
"Yes, it's complete. Now please take your time. Welcome to Zifraital, the capital of the Empire. If you're looking for accommodation, go straight ahead and there's a shop-lined path, so you're ahead of you."
"Thank God"
Once again on the carriage, the one with permission bows his head to the guard and thanks him before stepping into the Imperial capital, Jifraital.
When the guard lowered his head back, he proceeded to the next entry check. He liked this job, was able to relate to various figures and was proud of his work in what should also be called the doorway of the Empire.
"Finally -!
It was Leila in the carriage, but she couldn't contain her excitement and she's trying to get herself out and look around the city.
"Let's take a stroll later when we get an inn."
Aeta, who is on your stand, suggested for everyone, that the face of Aeta, which seemed, but could not be seen from within the carriage, was somehow exciting, and if you had seen that face, you would have found it to be a suggestion for yourself.
