At least, that's what most of the adventurers on the ship thought.
The people on the ship disembarked one by one, and soon it was Atos and Hercules's turn.
When it was their turn to pay, the Beastman Hercules let out a cold laugh and revealed his aura.
The mercenary's face changed drastically.
Fortunately, Hercules only flashed it for a moment before retracting it.
The mercenary immediately stood respectfully aside, no longer asking for the fee, and allowed the two to disembark.
Hercules let out another cold laugh and then accompanied Atos into the stronghold.
*Strong individuals, wherever they are, always had privileges.*
There were even more adventurers inside the stronghold.
Not only that, but the two even saw stalls from various trading companies selling supplies for exploring the Divine Relics.
Many of these trading companies came from across the Empire, but there were also others from different races and forces.
