Later, if brother accepts the karma of a monster, it will change into a pattern that suits to it accordingly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. So, how far are we from the border?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not much long. Oh, haha, looks like we arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal wall appeared in the direction Lugar pointed with his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s the border wall that separates the territory of the orcs from the territory of the Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As we approached the wall, the soldiers guarding the gate aimed their spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Halt, who are you? Why are being accompanied by the orcs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I beckoned to Callios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To which, he straightened his back and, with a solemn expression on his face, pulled something from between his arms and handed it to one of the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you know who I am.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Callios handed over was a plaque proving his identity as the heir of the Goldenbern family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension disappeared from the faces of the soldiers who saw the plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, young master is the nobleman of a kingdom. We apologize for the rudeness. But why did you come here, and that from the direction of the land of orcs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ship we took at the Kingdom of Alitia was wrecked in a storm. When we opened our eyes, we found ourselves in this place. Fortunately, we met a kind orc and were guided here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean, kind... orcs...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier looked at Lugar with an expression that spoke loud that he was listening to such strange ordeal for the first time in his career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, my brother is kind. What’s the problem with that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I understand. We will open the gates. Hey, boys! Open the gates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big gate opened with a creaking sound. People poured into the opened gates with enlivened expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stepped to follow them, but I stopped when I saw that Lugar was not coming along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you not coming along? Aren’t you here to buy food supplies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orcs cannot enter here. It has been like that since time immemorial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can’t enter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how do you buy food supplies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s easy, the orcs give us the required amount, and our guards will buy the supplies for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer came from someone other than Lugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who answered my question was a middle-aged man in a red robe over his chain armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m the commander of the Imperial Border Guards. Continuing with your previous question—we guards purchase the food supplies for orcs in case they enter the village and cause any disturbance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm... is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, it does sounds pretty reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There could be friction between the orcs and the villagers, there’s always a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain of the border guards said, looking at Lugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Orc, what did you bring this time? I don’t see anything expensive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, it’s money, not stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lugar handed over one of the money bags he was carrying around his waist to the guard commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander of the border guards opened the pocket and widened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, this is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s five hundred thousand pieces of gold. I hope you will prepare suitable grains and livestock for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Wait a minute. How did you guys get all this money? Have you looted?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There was no looting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not lie with me! Otherwise, there’s no way you guys can possess this much amount of money! First of all, this is a damn foreclosure. I will personally go to your tribe and look for the clues that will prove it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The commander of the border guards, who opened his eyes wide, began to play dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess, I roughly know why—probably trying to usurp that money. You can tell just by looking at those greedy eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my hand and interrupted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The money was given to me in exchange for guiding us to the border. Don’t worry, it’s not looted.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, I pulled out some pockets of money and waved them in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard commander’s expression hardened when he saw the money bags. He bent his back slightly and asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That... may I know, mister is the son of which noble family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not the son of any noble family. I’m just a rich adventurer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bent back was straightened out in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge shift in attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmmmm..! The source of the money is clear, so I won’t ask any more. For now, let me prepare grains and livestock with this money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, the commander of the guards left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at his receding back for a moment, then came to the gates with Lugar and the other orcs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother can go back, we...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. I just have something to check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s one thing I’m worried about, and I’m going to stick with the orcs until I can confirm that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few hours, my unease became a reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the guards brought out were seven carts of grain and some seventeen cattles. It was an unusual situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How the f*ck is this pitiful sh!tful of goods worth five hundred thousand gold coins?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No no, maybe not even a hundred thousand, let alone give hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who do these punks see as stupid, huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when I decided to grab the guard commander by his collar and rub his face on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Chief! This is the first time we have received so many!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– If it’s this much, wouldn’t it be enough to go back and hold another banquet? Chief seems to have done a good job by forming a brotherhood with a human! Ha ha!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Well, I was always good at making brothers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The orcs’ joyous voices could be heard from behind. When I turned around, they were looking at the grain filled carts and the livestock with great satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight made feel bitter inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aigoo... You idiots!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can still be happy when others have already sucked your spine, bones and blood; leaving behind only some pitiful bits...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a deep sigh came out in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Okay, let’s calm down. It’s not like they are messing with me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lugar and the people of his tribe will suffer if I beat the sh!t out of this guard commander at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly, if the Imperial side makes a decision that they will no longer trade because of this incident, Lugar will later have no way to obtain food supplies and the future will be bleak for his tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of using my fists, I have to do it in a smarter way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a way that makes it impossible for them to play others like fools in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What would that way be...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Should I reveal that I am a Hero?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I reveal that I am a hero, it can be easily resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how high is the āss of an imperial commander, would he be able to disobey a Hero’s orders?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is also a very reasonable command to not embezzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I am also a little reluctant to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the information spreads that the Hero Kieran has crossed the borders of the Empire, nearby cities will know who I am.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It means that I will not be able to act as an adventurer and live as comfortably as I currently am.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was when I was thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmm, isn’t that the guard commander, who had been watching the orcs happily pack the grains? Why did he abruptly ran out with a pale face?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I watched as he ran out of the gate and bowed his head to the figure approaching on a horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Frillite-sama, you have worked hard. I will take you inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure the guard commander was bowing to was Frillite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful woman with pure white skin and a lustrous red ponytail. She was wearing a splendid silver armor unlike what I had seen her in the Imperial Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is she here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the question, but there was something more important than that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is—she is also a Hero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My friend Frillite. Long time no see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I approached her as she was talking with the guard commander and put my hand shoulder to shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frillite and the guard commander’s eyes widened at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1418,"2026-06-03T08:03:25.628Z",1,"novelbin.me","821e1cb514dfdd342e8fdb7c2cb1a0fb240a4cad5429ba842087be5ec3a0c826","transmigrated-as-the-original-hero-in-a-game-lik-chapter-39","transmigrated-as-the-original-hero-in-a-game-lik-chapter-37",191,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigrated-as-the-original-hero-in-a-game-lik-cover.jpg"]
