Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 490

The smuggling took place over a period of nearly a day and a half, but the voyage itself went very smoothly, contrary to what Karl Kansi said and what the captain feared.

If everything went smoothly, some of the guys sitting in a state of shrinking with their faces painted with distrust of humans would have said bullshit that if they had known it would be like this, they would have just stolen the boat properly.

If it weren’t for Carl Kansi, who was faithful to his role even though he was no different from a late-life sergeant with only a few hours left in his discharge, several people would have drawn their weapons while talking nonsense.

Of course, his force couldn’t completely shut the snouts of the stowaways.

From the moment the unknown port of the Demon Spirit shimmered in the distance and the light of the lighthouse began to flash, the outlaws began to regain their energy secretly. He kept grumbling until the moment he entered.

“Isn’t it interesting, sir?”

When the ship docked at the poor pier built in the cave and the bridge was lowered, I was so pathetic to see them chatting with each other raising their voices as if it had been like that. said.

At least, the only situations he could call ‘fun’ were the idiots walking in front of him, so he didn’t have to worry about what the heck he was talking about, even if he put aside whether or not it was actually a fun scene.

“Fun? That little boy who thinks that what he sees is all there is to him and thinks that stowaways weren’t really a big deal?”
“Yes, that.”

I thought it was some kind of bad joke, but he seemed surprisingly sincere. Carrying a duffel pack that seemed to carry his stuff on one shoulder, Carl Kansi stretched out, patted me on the back to speed up my pace, then continued his conversation leisurely.

“Not all of them are like that, but most of them are the ones who came because they had no choice other than the demonic spirit. Such people are usually uncertain about their status, uncertain about their skills, and uncertain about their future. Because of that, people who shrank and couldn’t even raise their voices are regaining their vitality as if they had found a way out just because they finally arrived at the Demonic Territory.”

Unlike me, who regards it as just a common part of escaping from reality, Carl Kansi slightly erased the smile on his lips as if he felt something from such an appearance, then paused for a moment.

The wolf beastman, who was neither proficient in the official language nor thought of something common, spoke his thoughts while looking at the backs of stowaways who wanted to exchange money and leave in a hurry even though they were overcharged at the exchange booth prepared in the tunnel.

“It’s not that the demonic spirit is a lawless demon’s cave, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a hopeful place either. In the end, people’s places are similar. Even so, they can have hope, turn their eyes away from that reality or face it properly. Do you think it’s the result of not doing it?”
“…You find it funny that you can’t grasp the reality?”

Aside from being smart and communicative, I wondered if he had a secret personality, so when I opened my axe eyes, he laughed out loud and shook his head.

“Rather… I’ve heard before that you can see as much as you know. I realize it every time I see the outlaws scattering with the help of grubs after work like this. Every time I see that difference, it’s fun, Every time I want to know more.”
“I’d rather be a scholar than a fighter.”

As expected, this guy was a handful and unusual. I had never heard of a prisoner full of passion for learning.

If he was unique, he was a truly unique guy, but I like the fact that he didn’t move simply for money, leaving all that aside.

“Then, this contract will be satisfactory. My sales person is a bit fierce, so he sees all sorts of things.”
“I’m looking forward to that. Oh, don’t exchange money there. It’s a commission and they take a lot of money.”

The finger of Carl Kansi, who passed my words moderately, pointed to the currency exchange office that looked like a predator’s den. Even at this moment, the money coming out compared to the money going in was a place where there was no jaw, but the outlaws didn’t even seem to have time to point out such irrationality.

“Is there any other place to change money?”

I had no intention of exchanging money there in the first place, but when I asked him again just in case, Carl Kansi smiled confidently and tapped my leather breastplate.

“There’s a place where a friend I know does it. Take less than there.”
“It’s called ‘over there’, it’s reassuring to have a conscientious guide with you.”

There was no dispute about not having exchanged money. I didn’t know if it was because of Carl Kansi or the wisdom to do business on this floor for a long time.

After passing the exchange office and following the passage leading outside, the forest greeted us this time.

Around the exit, concealed by a cunning camouflage shroud, there were hulking men who looked ferocious and wielded weapons. walked

“Carl, you’re really going.”
“There’s no reason to be there if you don’t need it.”
“You idiot Yemiral, I don’t know if you think Quansala was an asshole. I’m afraid there will be ruins here too.”
“Hahaha, taking your feet off before that is the way to go. Be well.”
“Ah, brother too.”

Even those who did not leave their seats due to being wary of their surroundings greeted Carl Kansi one by one, but our pace did not slow down. Of course, I had no reason not to fall, but Carl Kansey seemed to have no regrets after working together for quite a long time.

“Anyway! Welcome to the edge of the port city of the Demon Tribe, sir.

Rather, as if he had been living as a guide from the beginning, he naturally started as a guide. Thanks to that, I had to hand over an Itisel gold coin and a counterfeit identity card made by the empire, suppressing my curiosity about how long this friend had lived.

“First of all, it’s a request. By the way, do you know how to distinguish identity cards?”
“There were quite a few customers who brought in useless items and were arrested before they even started working. In this case, I thought it would be better to figure it out in advance, so I’ll work hard… Come on, is this counterfeit?”

I tried to be as vigilant as possible, in case I could cheat or lie later, but Carl Kansi reacted honestly and returned my identity card to the point where my worries were put to shame.

“If you get caught on this, you should just think you’re out of luck and jump out? Where did you get something so sophisticated?”
“Let’s just say I had a lot of friends over there.”
“It’s fun. It’s fun already. Then, since there’s less to worry about, let’s go. There’s still some time left before the end gate opens, but I tend to pick up firewood, build a fire near the gate, and wait for less suspicion.”
“The more stabbed you are, the more confident you are?”
“Hahaha, that’s correct.”

I don’t know why this world is more pleasant and friendly with people of different races than people of the same race, but it was a good start anyway.

I don’t know if it was the power of the advance payment, but Carl Kansi made a torch himself and made it easy for me to go around even though he had a body that didn’t need lighting on the road at night. In addition, before entering the city, it tells the essentials that must be matched, and did not stop sharing information until the moment it reached the city wall far away.

“Once inside, let’s change money first and then go through the gate. Since the customer said he originally had the gate in mind, can we use it within the available area without hesitation?”
“That doesn’t matter. But is there any place other than here where I can exchange money?”

Anyway, the Empire gave me a very heavy money bag as if it wanted to prove that it was not empty words that they openly shouted for support. On the contrary, since the top gold coins are the main focus, I am more worried about the exchange process than the lack of funds.

“It must be difficult. Since the war was long, we have to find the smugglers to do that, but there is no guarantee that they will exchange money. Besides, the customer wants to shorten the time, right?
“…Can you give me an estimate of the cost?”
“If the guest wants it.”

Carl Kansi, who readily answered without hesitation, was quite reliable.

The walls of the castle where they arrived while talking about this and that were brighter than expected thanks to the bonfires made by those who were forced to camp because they could not get inside. Of course, it was only a little bright, and there were not many people who gave a friendly gaze to the strangers who showed up in the middle of the night.

But to me, what was fresher than that gaze was the diversity of the races gathered.

Even if it’s a beastman, it seems like five species are surpassed, and the horns of the demons are various. There is a group of lizardmen who keep a bigger bonfire than others to overcome the cold, and there are also poolings who are snoring and sleeping in groups, not paying attention to the vigil.

The sight of all the races mingling normally without being wary of each other was really fantasy-like, and even though the eyes pouring down on them were not very nice, they had the power to subtly make me feel better.

I was wondering at the same time. Despite being able to get along so well, why do the humans and demons have to fight fiercely, divided into heroes and demons?

While Carl Kansi softened the boundaries around him through his unique affinity and prepared a place to rest, the concerns that began to arise did not disappear until the moment he lit a bonfire.
