“Will this work?”

I muttered as I appeared on the tiny black dot on my shoulder.

“That is the way in which it seems like to start with. Later, if brother accepts the karma of a monster, it’ll change right into a sample that fits to it accordingly.”

“I see. So, how far are we from the border?”

“Not a lot lengthy. Oh, haha, seems like we arrived.”

A colossal wall appeared within the path Lugar pointed along with his finger.

It is the border wall that separates the territory of the orcs from the territory of the Empire.

As we approached the wall, the troopers guarding the gate aimed their spears.

“Halt, who’re you? Why are being accompanied by the orcs?”

I beckoned to Callios. To which, he straightened his again and, with a solemn expression on his face, pulled one thing from between his arms and handed it to one of many troopers.

“Now who I’m.”

What Callios handed over was a plaque proving his identification because the inheritor of the Goldenbern household.

The stress disappeared from the faces of the troopers who noticed the plaque.

“So, younger grasp is the nobleman of a kingdom. We apologize for the rudeness. However why did you come right here, and that from the path of the land of orcs?”

“The ship we took on the Kingdom of Alitia was wrecked in a storm. Once we opened our eyes, we discovered ourselves on this place. Luckily, we met a form orc and have been guided right here.”

“You imply, sort… orcs…?”

The soldier checked out Lugar with an expression that spoke loud that he was listening to such unusual ordeal for the primary time in his profession.

Properly, my brother is sort. What’s the issue with that?

“…I perceive. We’ll open the gates. Hey, boys! Open the gates!”

The massive gate opened with a creaking sound. Individuals poured into the opened gates with enlivened expressions.

I stepped to observe them, however I finished once I noticed that Lugar was not coming alongside.

“What are you not coming alongside? Aren’t you right here to purchase meals provides?”

“Orcs can not enter right here. It has been like that since time immemorial.”

Cannot enter?

“Then how do you purchase meals provides?”

“It is easy, the orcs give us the required quantity, and our guards will purchase the provides for them.”

The reply got here from somebody aside from Lugar. The one who answered my query was a middle-aged man in a crimson gown over his chain armor.

“Who’re you?”

“I am the commander of the Imperial Border Guards. Persevering with together with your earlier query—we guards buy the meals provides for orcs in case they enter the village and trigger any disturbance.”

“Hmm… is that so?”

At first look, it does sounds fairly affordable.

There may very well be friction between the orcs and the villagers, there’s all the time an opportunity.

The captain of the border guards mentioned, taking a look at Lugar.

“Orc, what did you convey this time? I do not see something costly.”

“This time, it’s cash, not stuff.”

Lugar handed over one of many cash luggage he was carrying round his waist to the guard commander. The commander of the border guards opened the pocket and widened his eyes.

“Hey, that is…”

“It’s 500,000 gold. I hope you’ll put together appropriate grains and livestock for this.”

“…Wait a minute. How did you guys get all this cash? Have you ever looted?”

“There was no looting.”

“Don’t lie with me! In any other case, there is not any method you guys can possess this a lot amount of cash! Initially, this can be a rattling foreclosures. I’ll personally go to your tribe and search for the clues that can show it!”

The commander of the border guards, who opened his eyes broad, started to play dominance. I suppose, I roughly know why—in all probability attempting to usurp that cash. You’ll be able to inform simply by taking a look at these grasping eyes.

I raised my hand and interrupted him.

“The cash was given to me in alternate for guiding us to the border. Don’t fret, it isn’t looted.”

Saying so, I pulled out some pockets of cash and waved them in entrance of him.

The guard commander’s expression hardened when he noticed the cash luggage. He bent his again barely and requested cautiously.

“That… might I do know, mister is the son of which noble household?”

“I am not the son of any noble household. I’m only a wealthy adventurer.”

“Oh, is that so?”

The bent again was straightened out immediately.

An enormous shift in angle.

“Hmmmm..! The supply of the cash is obvious, so I will not ask any extra. For now, let me put together grains and livestock with this cash.”

With that mentioned, the commander of the guards left.

I checked out his receding again for a second, then got here to the gates with Lugar and the opposite orcs.

“Brother can return, we…”

“Nope. I simply have one thing to examine.”

There’s one factor I am apprehensive about, and I’ll persist with the orcs till I can verify that.

After a number of hours, my unease turned a actuality. All of the guards introduced out have been seven carts of grain and a few seventeen cattles. It was an uncommon scenario.

‘How the f*ck is that this pitiful sh!tful of products price 500,000 gold?’

No no, possibly not even 100,000 gold, not to mention 500,000 gold.

‘Who do these punks see as silly, huh?’

That was once I determined to seize the guard commander by his collar and rub his face on the ground.

– Chief! That is the primary time we’ve got obtained so many!

– If it is this a lot, would not it’s sufficient to return and maintain one other banquet? Chief appears to have finished a superb job by forming a brotherhood with a human! Ha ha!

– Properly, I used to be all the time good at making brothers.

The orcs’ joyous voices may very well be heard from behind. Once I circled, they have been wanting on the grain stuffed carts and the livestock with nice satisfaction.

The sight made really feel bitter inside.

Aigoo… You idiots!

You’ll be able to nonetheless be comfortable when others have already sucked your backbone, bones and blood; forsaking just some pitiful bits…

Solely a deep sigh got here out in the long run.

‘…Okay, let’s settle down. It is not like they’re messing with me.’

Solely Lugar and the folks of his tribe will undergo if I beat the sh!t out of this guard commander at this second.

To place it bluntly, if the Imperial facet decides that they may now not commerce due to this incident, Lugar will later haven’t any strategy to get hold of meals provides and the long run shall be bleak for his tribe.

As an alternative of utilizing my fists, I’ve to do it in a wiser method.

In a method that makes it unimaginable for them to play others like fools sooner or later.

What would that method be…

‘Ought to I reveal that I’m a Hero?’

If I reveal that I’m a hero, it may be simply resolved. Regardless of how excessive is the āss of an imperial commander, would he have the ability to disobey a Hero’s orders?

It’s also a really affordable command to not embezzle.

Nonetheless, I’m additionally slightly reluctant to take action. If the data spreads that the Hero Cloud has crossed the borders of the Empire, close by cities will know who I’m.

It implies that I won’t be able to behave as an adventurer and reside as comfortably as I presently am.

It was once I was excited about it.

‘Hmm, is not that the guard commander, who had been watching the orcs fortunately pack the grains? Why did he abruptly ran out with a pale face?’

I watched as he ran out of the gate and bowed his head to the determine approaching on a horse.

“Frillite-sama, you could have labored arduous. I’ll take you inside.”

The determine the guard commander was bowing to was Frillite.

A wonderful lady with pure white pores and skin and a lustrous crimson ponytail. She was sporting a splendid silver armor in contrast to what I had seen her within the Imperial Capital.

Why is she right here?

That was the query, however there was one thing extra essential than that.

That’s—she can be a Hero!

“My buddy Frillite. Very long time no see!”

I approached her as she was speaking with the guard commander and put my hand shoulder to shoulder.

Frillite and the guard commander’s eyes widened on the identical time.
