The Elves seem to have already known the ship by the way they acted naturally walking and working on the ship.
When I mentioned this to Ivan, he said that he had already talked to them about the ship several weeks ago, since then they have been studying the ship and the type of work they were going to do.
Stop and since Ivan already knew what I would do, this time I didn’t let the freed slaves join the ship’s crew because I want them to mingle in the city for the next few weeks.
A few days ago I left those who were approved by Vanessa and who were intending to stay to live in the city, everything has been going well these days but I want to keep it that way for longer.
Those who want to leave are kept in the dark until now, they don’t know where they are, they don’t know who we are and they don’t know anything.
But just in case I’ve been giving them a potion that affects memory, I asked Lyra to do it, this potion will serve as a catalyst for another potion that we’ll give them when we release them in the city, so what happens next is not my problem.
We’re going to arrive at the port overnight, so I’ll release these people in a week, so no one gets suspicious of us.
After an hour the city was in view, I was on top of the ship’s sail, I put on my mask while warning the others, and I also activate all the ship’s protection spells in normal mode.
When we arrived at the port we are greeted by a team of soldiers, I go down with my clothes with able hiding my body and face, the others were mostly the same.
Only the crew was in normal clothes using only a mask to hide their face. ．
Just as we were stepping down from the ship calmly the troops in the harbor were on guard against us, but they didn’t have their weapons in hand yet.
I look around and notice that in command of the troops were a middle-aged woman and a man who appears to be around 26 years old.
On top of that, there was also a man dressed as a butler, there was also a smartly dressed young man with a smile on his face and eyes that were sizing us up.
It wasn’t difficult to guess everyone’s identities, Ivan had already told me that something like this could happen due to the size of the ship.
The woman and the man next to her who are in armor must be the knights who command the troops of this city, besides the young man must be a merchant of importance in this city, he looks Human at first, but I can tell he is a Runic as well as Tania because of her Aura.
The butler who was a mystery to me, plus I have a feeling he must be a serious man from the Duke’s mansion who runs this town.
“Good evening and welcome to the port city Yrima, my name is Ricardo, and I am responsible for this port.” (Ricardo)
“Good evening, my name is Freya, it looks like we caused some commotion.” (Freya)
“Good evening, my name is Nira, we are a group of traders from the company Merchants of Eclipse.” (Nira)
“No need to bother with the guards, we were just wondering who could have such a big ship.” (Ricardo)
“Also, this is the first time we’ve heard the name of your group.” (Ricardo)
“We’re just passing through or what I’d like to say, but we’re thinking of taking a month’s rest at the most in this town if possible.” (Nira)
“Bone can be provided, but your ship is a bit big so there’s only one place it can be docked, you’ll need to rent the space for as long as you intend to stay.” (Ricardo)
“How much?” (Nira)
“If it’s for a whole month, then it’s 27000 gold coins.” (Ricardo)
“Also, we’d like to see your Guild card and talk to the real person in charge if possible.” (Ricardo)
“…” (I)
This merchant looks young, but from what I’ve heard the Runics have a long lifespan, plus he seems very competent, ever since we got off the ship he’s only looked at me slavishly.
Also when he spoke of the person in charge he looked directly at me, when he did that the man who looks like a butler in the back looks at me curiously.
The middle-aged woman in armor has also been looking at me seriously since I showed up, but I don’t know why everyone pays so much attention to me.
“You seem like a very observant person.” (I)
I was using a trick to change the tone of my voice so that it’s impossible to tell if it was a man’s, a woman’s, a child’s, or an old man’s.
I practiced this technique a lot because I thought it would be cool, besides, as I’m directly controlling my vowel strings, no one will notice any magic.
“I don’t deserve so much, it’s not hard to recognize a leader when you see those around him, that’s something I must know how to see as a trader.” (Ricardo)
“You don’t have to be so servile, I’m nobody important, I don’t like formalities either.” (I)
“As you’ve already given the price, I’ll be renting the space you suggested earlier, here’s the money.” (I)
I reach inside his coat and pull out three crystal coins that I place in his hand.
“About the Guild card…” (I)
“Here it is…” (Nira)
Nira who is next to me hands over her Trade Guild card to this Runico named Ricardo, he takes the card and checks it before returning it.
“As you can see everything is fine.” (I)
“Do you mind answering a few questions and allowing the guards to inspect your ship?” (Ricardo)
“I can answer your questions as I admit we look a little suspicious, but I will only allow one person to survey the ship accompanied by Freya.” (I)
“I don’t want anyone messing with my goods without someone I trust around.” (I)
“Then we won’t have any problems, follow me.” (Ricardo)
Runico points in a direction while waving at the middle-aged woman and the butler, so we all head to a building not far away, the ones coming with me are Nira and Freya.
The woman a hundred next to the man beside her, the butler too.
“(This female knight is quite strong, if she’s not mistaken it looks like Grade SSS, this butler too.)” (I)
