174. Because that’s my mission
Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to deal with the situation. Cream is a hero like no one else. To prove her identity, pulling out the Holy Sword was enough.
The soldiers of the Empire realized that their opponents were not stupid, clumsy kids, but warriors that they could not dare to touch, and drew their spears. Well, that doesn’t solve the problem.
[Go over there in the corner and bang your head.]
“Huh.”
[What is hing!]
Choco, who would normally say something about my last words, quietly walked to the corner as if he was aware of his own mistakes. I sighed very deeply.
Yes, it has been proven that Cream is a hero. But being a warrior is a warrior, and being able to enter the Empire is another story. The authority of a hero means that he does not have to follow useless decency, not that he is not bound by all the laws of the world.
The reason why we were able to cross over to the Empire was because we were the ‘Guests of the Imperial Family’, which Firen proved, but with our cards ruined like that, tsk.
“What is the purpose of your visit?”
[Can I tell you that we are going to the Four Seasons Tower?]
[No.]
With the soldier in front, Cream and I quietly exchanged mental waves. Hmmm, she didn’t seem to want to mix her words with that little ponytail, even though the cream was different.
As expected, is it the turn of this all-around solver, Karbal? I looked at the more than strict gatekeeper and pondered for a moment what to say.
Okay, I’ve decided.
[Can you handle it?]
As soon as I made up my mind and emitted a mental wave, a bleak atmosphere spread over the area. A chill ran down his spine, and the soldier involuntarily grabbed his arm and trembled.
“What are you talking about?”
[Literally. You don’t have to think too hard.]
The soldier was looking at us with a mixture of bewilderment and fear. I looked at him with a cold, cold gaze, and shook his heart with a cruel voice.
But it’s a new feeling, but it seems that I like medicine more than before. The soldier was afraid of me even though he didn’t hold me or even see me.
[Not that simple. Why did the hero want to head for the empire? Because that is her mission.]
“·······!”
[God’s revelation, the portent of disaster is guiding the hero! How dare you bring the laws of the earth in front of the things of the heavens! What are you! Holding on to the ankles of the messengers of God with that trivial discretion!]
First of all, I spit out whatever came to my mind, but I don’t know what I’m talking about either. But the effect was amazing!
The intangible momentum raged along with the flashy lines. All eyes were focused, and the poor soldier staggered palely like a willow branch in front of a storm. Among the people waiting in line, some fainted from foaming.
This is the level of transcendence that overwhelms the crowd with just its presence. I’ve reached that point. Of course, being a swordsman is still a half transcendence person who can’t do anything on his own.
[You really don’t know that the slightest hesitation triggered by your stupidity can lead to an irreversible disaster! When disaster cannot be prevented due to momentary insufficiency, can you take responsibility for countless lives that will disappear like snowflakes!]
“This is the great one…”
That much is enough to deceive and intimidate the opponent. If you look closely at the words I’m talking about now, they’re bullsh*t without any context, but to that soldier, it will sound like a stern scolding that will make your soul fly away.
The onlookers watching us from the surroundings must have heard ‘hero’, ‘disaster’ and ‘we must stop’ even if they couldn’t understand my words properly. The urgency in it, too.
In an urgent situation, it is difficult to make a rational decision. And in such a situation, most writers leave the judgment to a person with a loud voice.
“As you said, I am an insignificant being, so I do not know the will of Heaven.”
But when the gatekeeper finally spoke, I sensed something was wrong. A voice that is suppressed by the momentum, but still does not completely succumb.
“As a mere mortal, I cannot dare to judge how cruel the calamity you are talking about is and how heavy the mission I received as a messenger of God is. However, compared to the hero’s mission, it may be infinitely light, but I also have an order in my heart.”
Did you laugh at me for wearing a soldier’s armor? The person in charge of a gateway can never be an ordinary person. The gatekeeper continued with his eyes as strong as a castle wall.
“The order I received from Your Majesty was to guard this gate and allow passage only to the select few. Even if it is the Emperor’s Majesty, no unauthorized person can cross this gate.”
[Hey Wooja. Aren’t you afraid of the disaster that will befall your hometown? The earth is burning and I can’t hear the cries of your family.]
“Thank you for your concerns, but ‘we’ are strong. No matter what hardships and adversity may befall the empire, it will prevail. Even without the help of strangers.”
That feeling that shimmered in the gatekeeper’s eyes was rather close to faith. Did you call the emperor a god on earth? Anyway, it’s really the type that I’m reluctant to deal with. This is why I hate empire.
It is the same with the priests who have returned to one existence, but the three gods are beings close to perfection. That’s why, it’s not difficult to subdue their madness when their integrity is destroyed.
However, no matter how powerful an emperor wields power or how divine he is, in the end he remains a mortal. That is why, even if the Emperor is insulted, ridiculed, or brought down, their symbolism is not damaged.
When we affirm the limitations and incompleteness of the god we serve, faith becomes complete.
[Yes. The empire as a nation might survive. But can you be sure that the bodies of your family are not found in the scars of the disaster?]
“Even if that happens, I will still hold this position.”
[Why?]
“Because that is my mission.”
Realizing that I could never convince the gate keeper with words, I clicked his tongue.
Yes, it goes without saying that a man who has given himself up to primal pleasure without conviction can’t convince a man armed with the armor of a mission.

[Then are you giving up?]
[No, it can’t be.]
In the end, I couldn’t break through the gatekeeper’s impenetrable defense. Well, it’s not that there’s no way to get into the stupid end. Cream will be able to break down the entire castle gate with a little knife.
But if you do that, no matter how brave Cream is, enormous difficulties will bloom in the life of the empire. After all, I have no choice but to think of a workaround.
[You really reflect.]
“Okay.”
Asshole······. No, after glaring at Choco, the ugly puppy, I turned my head. Originally, it would have been a free pass, but what kind of trouble is this because of that guy.
Well, it’s not that there aren’t other ways. The reason why the gatekeeper doesn’t let us through is because we are not permitted. If so, you can’t get permission.
That said, it would be crazy to go through immigration procedures now. I don’t know if it will take several months, but wait for that? Instead, I turned my gaze around.
The Empire is strict with people from outside the country, but not so with people from the same Empire. With a simple proof that he was an Imperial citizen, he could pass through the gate with a much simplified procedure.

[I guess this is the only way.]
And, among them, the trusted imperialists could even guarantee the status of companions. Even if you are a member of the kingdom, even if you are not a human, you will be able to cross the empire with simplified procedures.
Of course, it was also a method we didn’t consider because we didn’t know a single person in the Rathorn Empire. But what can i do This is the only way that comes to my mind right now.
[By the way, if it’s a guarantee, I don’t think it’s going to be light at all…]
[Isn’t it? Guaranteeing your identity means that you are equally responsible for the actions that person committed.]
This is in the same context as the gold face plate that proves that you are a guest of the imperial family. If we entered the empire after receiving a guarantee from Whiren, if we had an accident, Firen would be covered by the aftermath.
It’s a shame when you think about it. It was an opportunity to f*ck. I don’t have any ill feelings toward the parasitic old lady, but it’s always fun to pass the blame on.
“Then how do you get someone to stand by?”
[Well. Since the soldiers have their eyes open, they can’t use force, but…]
Her power was the strongest and most convenient of her cream powers, so she used to love it, but she also had many other types of powers.
The type of person I was looking for was one of two things. If you are a priest with strong faith, if you are a hero sent by God to the earth, you will be included in the group without questioning or questioning.
Or, Cream is a target that can be beaten.
[If I remember reading correctly, I remember that the Ice Company was trading with several other merchant companies?]
“Yes.”
There are many slave merchants, but very few of them have grown to the size of a merchant association rather than an upper class. Even the Ice Company is famous for handling only legal slaves.
However, the ice firm’s manpower alone could not cover all the slaves. Naturally, the Ice Company also entered into contracts with several other minor slave traders.
And the relationship between small and medium-sized enterprises and large corporations is similar in another world.
[Found it.]
Reading the memory of coffee is helpful at times like this. I was able to look into the inside of the store as quickly as the butler in charge of the store, and of course I also had a list of top deals in my head.
One of them. Minor guilds that benefit from arbitrage by going back and forth between kingdoms and empires rather than capturing slaves directly. If he visited the empire so often, he must have the ability to vouch for anyone.
Of course, if it’s not here, it’s a dorumuk, but I saw a carriage with a pattern on the top while crossing from the royal gate to the imperial gate a while ago. The fresh strawberry pattern that didn’t go well with the slave trader was the kind that no one could forget once they saw it.
[Huh, choco. I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes.]
“Ugh, what is it!”
And we also have the best hounds.
The plan is perfect. Through the smell left in the wagon, he finds the place where the guild is currently staying, encounters the lord of the guild, and his companion goes over to the empire through a guarantee. Um, really perfect.
Cream is not only a warrior, but also the owner of a slave shop. He will never refuse
