Shirou and the others learned about the main problems of traveling by boat from the Demon Continent to the Milis Continent.
Because the Demon Continent's economy, politics, and other aspects are now suppressed, and even the customs control is almost entirely in the hands of the human race, if they want to go to the Milis Continent through legal channels, they will inevitably be subject to a full inspection by the Holy Milis Kingdom.
They have to pay taxes when carrying goods into the country, and the goods will also be fully searched.
Under these conditions, if Shirou and the others board a ship to the Holy Milis Kingdom, there is a high probability that Ruijerd, as a Superd, will be judged by the Holy Milis Kingdom.
"Is there a way to go to the Milis Continent without being searched?"
Shirou asked the person at the adventurer's guild counter.
The person hesitated and said, "If you can spend a lot of money to bribe the customs guards, or if you have someone important in the Holy Milis Kingdom, there won't be any problems."
"This..."
Facing this obviously illegal act, Shirou normally wouldn't want to do it.
But if there is really no other way, they can only use this one method.
After all, Shirou has lived on the Demon Continent for so long and has picked up some of the habits of the demons. As long as he can solve a problem with a convenient and simple action, he doesn't care whether the method is legal or not.
Moreover, Shirou has clearly felt how hated and disliked the Superd race is through this journey.
Anyone who discovers Ruijerd's Superd identity will not ignore it.
The demons are already like this, so it is easy to imagine what the religious Holy Milis Kingdom would do.
After learning about the ways to reach the Milis Continent and knowing that it would be difficult to go through normal channels, Shirou and the others could only find a place to live first, and also eat at the inn.
The inn provided seafood dishes unique to the port city for dinner.
Shirou has rarely eaten seafood since coming to this world.
After all, in this era, the preservation of ingredients is often a problem, and no one would specially use magic just to keep food fresh.
It was also Eris's first time eating seafood dishes, and she opened her mouth wide and raised her toes, very satisfied.
If she didn't remember some of the noble etiquette taught by the Boreas family, she would probably even eat with her hands.
Shirou was also very interested, so he went to the kitchen and asked the cooks who were free about how to make seafood dishes, and gained a lot of useful experience.
It's a pity that he doesn't know when this experience will be useful, because seafood is still too difficult to get in this world.
After eating dinner, Shirou and the others officially held a meeting to discuss how to cross the sea to the Milis Continent.
Since it is very difficult to go there by normal boat and there is a high probability of problems, they must consider other ways to cross the sea.
Shirou thought for a long time and only came up with two methods.
One is to earn a lot of money to bribe the customs guards, but this undoubtedly requires a huge amount, because there is a problem with the exchange rate of money on the Demon Continent. No matter how much money they earn here, it is not considered very valuable to the human race. Shirou conservatively estimates that he needs more than 200 green minerals.
And green mineral money is already the highest value currency on the Demon Continent.
If they want to earn so much money by doing normal adventurer requests, they probably have to do several S-level requests, or do B-level requests for a lifetime.
The second method is to leave Ruijerd behind, and Shirou and Eris go to the Milis Continent alone and return to the Asura Kingdom.
Shirou was not the only one who thought of this idea.
Ruijerd said silently, "I can stay, you don't have to worry about me, but be careful on the way."
Ruijerd looked like an old father watching his children go far away, but unable to help, and showed a lost expression.
Eris couldn't say anything when she saw this, and could only look at Shirou.
And Shirou said silently, "Don't worry, we won't leave you behind, Ruijerd. Since we've made a decision, we have to go back together."
"Shirou..."
Ruijerd was deeply moved.
But the problem still exists.
Shirou's first thought was to earn money to bribe the guards. He planned to find the blacksmith's guild in Wynn Port (if there is one), and if he could forge weapons as a blacksmith and sell them, he would undoubtedly be able to earn a lot of money immediately.
But this approach still has a problem, which is that Shirou's identity as Muramasa may be exposed and attract the attention of the Demon Kings.
Shirou doesn't want to face the pursuit of several Demon Kings at the same time.
That's not funny at all.
So, Shirou also thought of a possible idea, which is smuggling.
As long as there is shipping, smuggling is always a business that exists, and it can never be banned.
Because the sea is so vast, as long as you find a safe and reasonable route, there are ten thousand ways to bypass the pursuit and reach the other side of the ocean.
The ability of humans cannot possibly cover the entire sea.
The profit from smuggling is also very large, and as long as there is profit, there will be people who do it.
However, this matter also has risks, which is that it is difficult to ensure that there are truly reliable smuggling channels, and it is also difficult to guarantee that the other party can be trusted.
It can be said that Shirou and the others are now facing all kinds of risky choices.
There is no risk-free option at all.
So Shirou made a choice, to earn money and look for smuggling channels at the same time.
He plans to do both at the same time and see which one yields results faster.
...
After making a choice, Shirou and the others officially stayed at the inn.
Because she is used to traveling, Eris now has no problem sleeping in a room alone, but she still sticks to sleeping in the same room with Shirou.
Shirou didn't complain about this, and could only allow the other party's willfulness.
After Eris fell asleep at night, it took a long time for Shirou to fall asleep, and he found that he had once again turned into the Servant Emiya, and met Hitogami.
"Yo, long time no see, the advice I gave you last time came true, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shirou doesn't remember receiving any advice from Hitogami, and retorted without hesitation.
"Oh, didn't I tell you at the time that there would be danger if you continued to stay in that city? You did encounter danger, didn't you?"
"But I solved it."
Shirou looked at Hitogami coldly, still repelled by this unknown force.
And Hitogami was used to his attitude, and said silently, "Yes, you did solve the problem, but don't you think you almost didn't solve it? The Undead Demon King Atofe is not so easy to deal with."
"..."
"And you used the power of this soul at the time, right?啧啧, what a wonderful ability, but I feel like you don't like this power, is it because there are any side effects?"
"Have you said enough?"
Shirou's vigilance towards Hitogami reached its peak.
Because the other party actually wanted to pry into the part of him that belonged to the Servant, which Shirou could absolutely not accept.
To prevent the other party from continuing, he even directly projected the twin swords and held them in his hands.
"Sigh, you really hate me, even though I've never been unfavorable to you."
"The words of the force are not trustworthy."
"I shouldn't have said that I was some kind of force, and I got blamed for something. Okay, okay, just keep hating me like this."
Hitogami seemed speechless to Shirou, and directly gave up.
Shirou naturally wouldn't care about this, and only hoped that the other party could disappear quickly.
Hitogami already knows his personality very well, so he just said helplessly, "Really, as long as you listen to my advice, everything will go smoothly, and you can go home safely."
"Without your advice, there will be no problem."
"You're so confident that it's annoying, okay, if you don't listen to my advice next, I'll see how much you regret it!"
"I won't regret it."
"You... Hmph!"
Hitogami expressed his dissatisfaction with Shirou again and ended this space.
...
The next day, Shirou left the inn early in the morning.
He bought a cheap cloak from a street stall, slightly covered his appearance, and then walked to the blacksmith's guild in Wind Port.
Because it is the largest port on the Demon Continent, most of the profession guilds, other than the adventurer's guild, have been established here.
Therefore, Shirou didn't think too much and directly entered the blacksmith's guild and issued a request.
The content of the request was very simple, which was that he wanted to borrow the guild's blacksmith workshop and planned to sell the weapons he forged.
Because it was a very normal request, the people at the guild just asked Shirou to show his forging skills, and after confirming that he passed, they allowed him to enter the forging room.
However, although Shirou obtained a place to forge, he realized that he could not immediately forge treasure-level weapons.
Because forging weapons requires start-up money.
At least the first weapon has to be forged and sold before he can have more money to forge the second weapon, accumulating wealth by constantly earning the difference in price.
Shirou's start-up money was by killing the red dragon and obtaining a lot of wealth.
Shirou now has no money to forge the first weapon, so he naturally cannot accumulate wealth to forge better weapons.
Not to mention forging the demon-breaking spear for Ruijerd, even forging a treasure-level weapon to sell is difficult to do.
And although Shirou's wealth was huge in the past, it was generally deposited in the bank of the Asura Kingdom.
There is no way to withdraw money from the bank of the Asura Kingdom on the Demon Continent.
Shirou realized that his plan to earn money by forging had stalled.
Helpless, he could only temporarily give up this idea and instead think of ways to find smuggling trade organizations.
As a result, the channels in this area were surprisingly smooth.
He found a famous smuggler with a little inquiry. His name is Jiales Kulina.
When Jiales learned that Shirou and the others wanted to smuggle to the Milis Continent, he didn't agree at first. But after learning that they were the famous adventurer team [Black Wolf Second], he suddenly changed his mind and proposed to hire them to carry out a request. As long as they could complete the request, he would be willing to take them to Milis.
Shirou naturally wouldn't agree with this casually, and asked Jiales about the specific content of the request.
According to the other party, Jiales seemed to be dissatisfied with the internal structure of the smuggling organization. He believed that the organization had done something that should not have been done on the Milis Continent and captured a being that should not have been captured.
In order to prevent the smuggling organization from self-destructing, Jiales hoped that Shirou and the others could assist in helping to stop the smuggling gang's crazy actions and rescue the important being that was captured.
Shirou was skeptical of Jiales's words, but because he heard the other party say that this was not a bad thing, he hesitated and agreed.
The two parties confirmed the boarding time, which was three days later, and then left separately.
