Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

After inquiring, he learned that the friend Rijrud had visited was the leader of this knightly order. The leader had set foot on the Demon Continent decades ago but encountered danger. Fortunately, Rijrud happened to pass by and rescued him immediately, thus beginning their connection.

Decades later, Rijerud recalled this incident and went to meet Jargard. To his surprise, the once naive boy had grown into the Grand Master of the Knights. After they drank and chatted, Jargard wrote this letter of introduction to Rijerud, ensuring that he could board the ship to cross the sea.

With this letter of introduction, all preparations were complete, and all that was needed was to embark on the journey.

"Alright, Noren. Say goodbye to your brother."

"……don't want."

Despite Paul's urging, Noren remained somewhat distant from Shirou, only peeking out half his face to secretly watch the latter.

Shirou didn't force anything, and said with a smile, "Norren, goodbye, I wish you a healthy growth."

"..."

Norn remained silent in the face of Shirou's farewell and blessings.

But at least the other party didn't show any sign of disgust.

This was already a victory for Shirou.

After boarding the carriage and embarking on the journey, Shirou suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

He racked his brains and finally realized the problem.

He forgot to keep his promise to Teresa and meet his grandparents.

Having spent a long time forging weapons at the church as Muramasa, Shirou was preoccupied with embarking on his journey and had completely forgotten about this matter.

Thinking of this, Shirou felt quite helpless, but he could only try his best to apologize later.

……

The carriage traveled all the way to the western port of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

Throughout the process, Shirou listened to Alice's adventure stories.

The other party has been making great strides in the Adventurers' Guild in Milis these days. Although she is only the weakest member of the S-rank adventurer team, her performance is still quite outstanding.

Alice also met a temporary teammate named Cliff during the process.

Alice had a terrible feeling about the latter, thinking he was just an overconfident guy with no real skills, so she decisively dumped him after only a short time in the team.

Since it was just an anecdote about Alice's experience, Shirou and Rigel didn't pay much attention to it.

And so they arrived at the western port.

The streetscape of the port is very similar to that of Zanthart, but the town is much larger.

The route between the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis and the capital of the Kingdom of Asra is like the Silk Road of the world, with towns along the way serving as trading posts, and the Western Port is one of them.

Although not as commercially developed as Milishion, it is still a large town with the headquarters of several chambers of commerce and their merchants gathered here.

Shirou and his companions were to travel by ship from the continent of Milis to the central continent.

Therefore, you need to go to customs for inspection first.

The checkpoint here is quite different from that in Winnport; it's a large building with armored guards standing at the entrance.

However, unlike Winn Harbor, the western ports were truly overcrowded.

Some were like adventurers, and others were like merchants.

Merchants and tourists from all over the world are gathering here, waiting for the next ship to arrive.

After contacting the receptionist, Shirou and his companions received a number. Just to be on the safe side, Shirou delivered Rigdr's letter to her.

Otherwise, if it were discovered later that Rijerud is a Spelud, it would likely cause a sensation.

Because it was a letter instructing the Grand Master of the Knights, they had assumed it would go very smoothly.

But after the letter was sent out, a loud noise came from inside the office—it was someone's roar.

Soon, a guard approached Shirou and the others and said, "Duke Buckhill seems to wish to see you all."

"Duke?"

Shirou and the others exchanged bewildered glances at this literally super-noble, never expecting to attract the attention of such a high-ranking noble.

They went there reluctantly and soon met with the Duke.

“I am Duke Buckshire von Wiesel, the Director of Customs on the continent of Milris.”

His Excellency the Duke has a very pleasing appearance.

It's like a pig's trotter waiting to be slaughtered.

Shirou instinctively thought of a certain minister, Darius, who was practically a half-brother to the duke before him.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that the filthy demons would actually produce such a letter of introduction!"

The Duke immediately launched into a tirade upon seeing them, “To actually carry the name of such an important person, and the envelope looks genuine, but I won’t fall for it, this is a counterfeit!”

"..."

Shirou was speechless at Buckshill's reaction.

He attempted to refute, "Why does Your Excellency believe this could be a forgery?"

"Basically, that taciturn man is incapable of writing letters. I know him well; he not only finds writing letters troublesome, but he doesn't even want to write necessary documents. Would someone like that write to me for a demon like you? You should know your limits when joking!"

The Duke seemed to have made these remarks based on his understanding of the Grand Master of the Order.

But Shirou always felt that the other party really disliked the leader of the Knights Order, which was why he came out specifically to cause trouble.

"What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?!"

Alice naturally could not accept Duke Buckshire's attitude.

She was about to draw her sword aggressively, but Shirou and Rigel quickly stopped her.

Taking action here would be unwise; it would be impossible to coerce the duke or successfully cross the sea.

"Let me do it. You guys go outside and wait for a while."

Seeing that the situation was getting complicated, Shirou had no choice but to resort to his backup plan.

He had anticipated the possible situation, so he came up with many ideas.

Alice and Rijkaard trusted him, so they nodded in agreement.

After being driven out by Duke Bucksil, Shirou changed his appearance and went straight to the headquarters of the Knights Templar in the western port.

Upon entering, without saying a word, he immediately took out the Cyclic Victory Sword and the Milis Badge that the Pope had given him and said, "I am the blacksmith Muramasa. The Boreas family has done me a favor, so please ask Duke Bucksil, who is in charge of customs, to let me pass."

Shirou simply wanted customs to let him pass.

Unexpectedly, his words directly alarmed the entire Knights Templar of the Customs Service.

The Knights Templar had long been ordered by the Pope to treat the blacksmith Muramasa with the utmost respect, and the knights generally admired this strongest blacksmith among humans.

Therefore, without saying a word, they sent men directly to Buckshire's office.

"You fat pig, how dare you mess with Master Muramasa?"

Ignoring Bucksil's bewilderment, the captain of the customs temple knights kicked Duke Bucksil off his seat.

It was only then that Shirou learned that although Bucksil was nominally a duke, he had committed a grave mistake in the past and had been exiled to this remote place by the Pope, where he had no power or status whatsoever.

The Knights Templar, after a brief comparison of the Duke's and Master Muramasa's status, had no other thoughts whatsoever; they were practically ready to throw the Duke into the sea to feed the fish.

The problem of crossing the sea was successfully resolved.

The speed at which it happened was truly astonishing, even to Shirou himself.

Chapter 238 Arrival in the Dragon Kingdom, Tasting Dragon Meat Seven-Star Roast.

Despite some minor hiccups, Shirou and his companions successfully boarded a ship bound for the Central Continent.

Paul's assistant, Vera, prepared all the items they would need for their journey by boat.

In addition to food for the journey, it even included medication for seasickness.

With seasickness medication, Alice no longer needed Shirou to constantly maintain her condition using Avalon's healing barrier, and could fully enjoy the pleasure of boating.

But perhaps because she was still uneasy about her previous seasickness, she remained quite cautious and stayed by Shirou's side the whole time on the ship.

Shirou quietly stayed with Alice, gazing at the sea together.

Although it wasn't a particularly enjoyable experience, both of them thoroughly enjoyed the long-lost tranquility.

Until land reappeared at the end of the sea.

They finally arrived at their destination, the Kingdom of Wanglong.

……

The Kingdom of Wanglong is located in the southwest of the central continent. It is a vast country surrounded by the Wanglong Mountains, while another part of it is completely bordered by the ocean.

Due to its unique regional conditions, although the language is the same, the overall atmosphere of the Kingdom of Wanglong is completely different from that of any other country in the world.

The ship sailed into the eastern port of the Dragon Kingdom.

Shirou and his companions arrived at the largest port in the Kingdom of the Dragon King.

Perhaps because the journey was too long, neither Shirou nor Alice reacted to the new environment.

They went to the Adventurers' Guild to report for duty, almost as a routine, and then began looking for an inn.

Just then, Alice suddenly exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

"smell?"

Upon hearing Alice's words, Shirou paused for a moment, realizing that there did indeed seem to be a fragrance emanating from somewhere.

The smell was very unique, and even Shirou was momentarily captivated by it. In addition, they had been on the ship for a long time, and their stomachs were indeed starting to rumble.

"How about we go grab some dinner?"

"Okay, okay!!"

Alice nodded eagerly.

Although Alice would prefer Shirou's cooking, she was too tired from the journey to ask him to cook for her at a time like this.

They followed the scent and soon found a restaurant tucked away in a secluded corner.

The restaurant's first impression is that it looks terrible.

The brick and tile walls were in disarray, and even had holes.

The wooden signboard was so dirty and worn that the writing on it was illegible.

The hinges on the door were loose, and it looked like it might fall off at any moment.

It's more like an abandoned building than a restaurant.

However, the aroma emanating from there was genuine.

The aroma was enticing; although it lacked an appetizing fragrance, it exuded a unique deliciousness that was hard to ignore.

"Shall we go in?"

Rachel Rudd asked a question.

Faced with such a terrible restaurant, any normal person would undoubtedly stop in their tracks.

Even Alice hesitated after seeing what the restaurant looked like.

Shirou, however, did not judge a book by its cover. He slowly said, "The taste of this restaurant is genuine. Perhaps we can experience a different kind of cuisine."

Shirou's passion for cooking is second only to his swordsmanship and forging.

So whenever he encounters a potential culinary expert, he wants to pay them a visit.

"Alright, since you put it that way..."

Alice and Rigdl both listen to Shirou.

They followed Shirou into the restaurant.

Once inside, the store was indeed very dirty.

Of course, the word "dirty" is not accurate, since the restaurant still maintains the cleanliness standards that a restaurant should have. The word "shabby" would be more appropriate.

Inside the restaurant, not only were the chairs missing legs and the tabletops cracked, but there were even holes in the floor.

In such a terrible environment, there would naturally be no guests inside.
