Today, a border guard captain—as he introduced himself, Eil Dundun—was in charge of inspecting travelers and entering their information into the imperial database. It was clear that he was in high spirits today.

“Alright, let’s see what we have here,” the captain said briefly after greeting Iv, and began personally examining what the traveler had brought with him. “A bow, some knives… are you a hunter or something? I hope you're not a bandit.” Without waiting for an answer, he continued to inspect the items until he came across "Himoaho's Ethics." “Oh, an interesting book. Are you interested in philosophy?” And, “Take off your cloak, if you please.” Eil took out a notebook and drawing tools from his own bag and began sketching Iv while making notes about his physique and other physical characteristics. He instructed his subordinate to record the answers Iv would give to his questions. “So, philosopher, what is your purpose in coming to the empire, and how long will you be staying? Did you come alone, or with someone from the crowd in the waiting room? Do you have any acquaintances in this country, and where do you plan to stay? Do you have money for your time in the country?”

Yves didn't react to the man's comments. He took off his cloak and answered the questions.
- I don't have a specific goal. I haven't decided what I want to leave your country for. Or you haven't decided that I should leave. I am accompanying Mr.
Raphael Ambrosius Costo. I don't have any acquaintances. I'll be staying in any tavern. I have a small amount of money.

Don't expect anything more than buckwheat and a couple of cutlets, boss. So, I suggest we cross the border quickly and try something decent.

I clarified with Revan. He said that none of us should have any problems with the transition; we just need to assign someone to deal with the skeleton – that’s all.
If someone wants to cross on a raft or climb over the fence as part of the role-playing, that’s their business, of course... But I think that in that case, they will end up betraying us and themselves if they later say that they are working with us. More than anything, though, because if they haven't registered properly, nothing will stop us from denying any connection with them if necessary.

— I wish you a pleasant rest of your journey and a pleasant stay in the empire!

It was already clear that there wouldn't be any problems with the transition. Well, except for Alex, but Revan clarified that issue later. And Valdemar had enough money for a bribe. The main question has always been whether we will present ourselves as members of a single organization, in case of problems in the future.

Thus, after considering and weighing everything, Shen decided that it would be better to register than to hide in the sewers like some outcasts or criminals.

“I’m brushing my teeth,” Shen was about to mutter, intending to hint to the inquisitive captain that he was ready to use that very spear on his face. However, realizing that showing aggression would not lead to anything good, the young man preferred to restrain himself.
— I protect my own life and the lives of my employers as needed,” Shen replied in a level tone. “Otherwise, it’s a good thing that doesn’t interfere with me, serving as a reminder of the homeland I left behind.

If it bothers you that much, then don't introduce yourself... You can be a freelance contractor, able to complete Artery quests solo at your own risk, if Reven allows it.
