The registration of the card to be used at the Transfer Gate was done quickly.
After Queen Floria had some kind of conversation with someone, Remezhov finished by holding the card over the authentication plate at the Transfer Gate.
“That’s the end of the registration. When you want to use the card, just put your magic power into the card and hold it up there, and it will automatically lead you to Summit.”
Remezhov nodded cautiously as Queen Floria gave him a brief explanation of how to use it.
“With that card, you can come and go freely at any time. However, you should be aware that it reacts with your magic power, so only you can use it.”
“Only me…? Is it? What about the Crown Prince Christophe and the King…”
“Well, it won’t work for them. Only you can use it.”
Remezhov’s face turned pale at Queen Floria’s direct reply.
He did not expect that he would be in charge of something that even the King could not use.
“Can you make it usable by the King…”
“I can’t. Only one person can use a card. If you are thinking of a Card that could be used by your country, then you should give up.”
Remezhov tried to avoid the heavy responsibility, but Queen Floria’s answer was inevitable.
Remezhov gave up his resistance and reluctantly shrugged his shoulders.
Listening to their conversation, Christophe had a question.
“I thought there were other transfer gates in Amamiya Tower, how are they being used?”
They reported that the adventurers were using the Transfer Gates freely, even though they were using special cards.
They wondered if the cards were given to all those who use the Transfer Gates.
Christophe asked, thinking he would not get an accurate answer since the gate was the key to defense in the tower, but the answer came back easily, as if it was not particularly secret.
“The only time you need to use this card is when you use the transfer gate that connects the tower to the outside. It is not necessary when using a transfer gate which connects the inner parts of the tower.”
After a bit more detail, Queen Floria explained the handling of the transfer gate.
For movement inside the tower, no cards were needed, as the transfer gates were designed to lead to a specific place.
For movement from outside the tower, a card was required, but she said that if someone was already registered with the Crown and have a Crown card, it worked the same way as the card that Remezhov had.
“… So does that mean that some of the adventurers can use this Transfer Gate?”
Remezhov asked with a growing sense of urgency.
He added, “Right now it is well controlled, but there is a chance that adventurers will come to Summit Kingdom in droves.”
Even though they were still under surveillance in accordance with the treaty, they were still a small fraction of the border patrol.
But Queen Floria shook her head.
“That won’t happen. The cards have a list of specific gates they can be used in. The gates here cannot be used by an adventurer’s card.”
Hearing this, Christophe was inwardly relieved.
Queen Floria knew this would be the case and disclosed the information.
It was only natural to avoid raising unnecessary suspicions.
However, it was a prerequisite in the negotiations that Queen Floria was to tell them information about everything.
In the first place, there was a mass of mystery about the tower, so it was impossible to determine which information was correct or not.
That being said, it would be a great disadvantage to make the Transfer Gate unusable.
It was worth taking the risk to set up the transfer gate, so they had no choice but to meditate on certain things.
In this matter, they had no choice but to only give their trust to Razequa Amamiya and Crown.

Once they had heard some of the card usage, they parted from Queen Floria.
Christophe and the others were supposed to take a tour of the city to see the mansion that would be treated as an embassy, as well as to show them around the various places.
Queen Floria turned back to the castle because they were to be guided by a high official during this time.
The castle town, the capital of Razequa Amamiya, had become so large that it was hard to believe that it was actually existing inside a tower.
According to the high official’s explanation, the city was still expanding, and it was hard to believe that it had been built in just a few years.
As Christophe looked at the city with admiration, he also remembered to look at it from the perspective of the Crown Prince of Summit Kingdom.
It was safe to say that Razequa Amamiya had no external enemies for a nation that exists only one within the same continent.
In the normal course of events, it could be occupied from another continent across the sea, but this was not likely to happen in the case of the Central Continent.
The defense function of the tower, which was already common knowledge among nations, was too powerful.
In light of this, the only way Razequa Amamiya could be destroyed would be through an internal uprising or an uprising by forces outside its control within the Central Continent.
However, Razequa Amamiya already controlled nearly three-quarters of the continent.
It would be very difficult for forces from the outside to overthrow Razequa Amamiya.
In the first place, there would be no outside force that have the military might to do so.
Internal rebellion would also be difficult, since this was the first Country in the Central Continent, and the expectations of the residents were very high.
If Queen Floria’s reign was not going well, there may have been an opportunity to take advantage of her, but at the moment, Christophe did not see any such opportunity.
Christophe was not expecting the demise of Razequa Amamiya.
Rather, they want it to last as long as possible.
This was because they would have a stable supply of Frier Weed.
Summit Kingdom had been trading Frier Weed with the Crown since before Razequa Amamiya was established, but it was easier to make various agreements with a nation if there was an actual establishment governing it.
With this in mind, we visited the mansion that serves as the Summit Kingdom’s embassy and then headed to the castle.
Because of Christophe’s presence, they were officially treated as a visiting delegation from the Summit Kingdom.
This point was no different from any country, although there were some differences in size, large and small.
An embassy was officially set up in the castle where the dignitaries of Razequa Amamiya gathered, and Remezhov was introduced as the resident representative there.
At the dinner table, the number of guests was reduced to a very small number.
The level of food was comparable to that of other countries.
In the midst of all this, a small incident occurred.
Among the gifts prepared by Summit Kingdom was a Kutur, one of its specialties.
One of the people on Razequa Amamiya’s side who saw the Kutur was surprised and said.
“This is green tea, isn’t it?”
“Green tea?”
The man was seated near Queen Floria, so he must have been of high status, but he was introduced only by his name “Kou” and had no title.
Even though he was introduced only as “Kou” and had no position, they knew he was an important person because he talked with Queen Floria in a friendly manner.
Even now, Queen Floria was tilting her head and asking him a question.
“This… Green Tea as you call it? It is a specialty of our country called Kutur.”
“It is a drink made by soaking something in it in hot water.”
Remezhov added to Christophe’s explanation.
Upon hearing this explanation, the one named Kou came up to Christophe and delightedly said he would like to drink it.
Kutur was prepared for him to drink.
The Summit Kingdom had no objection.
The Kutur was immediately served to the people of Razequa Amamiya.
