A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 70: (1)

Excuse me?

Kaes seemed taken aback by Kaiyans words, his mouth hanging open without closing.

I want to meet the firstborn of the Carsia family, Barvan. Ah, should I call him Barvan?

Well lets pass over that Why are you saying this?

I heard that the Carsia familys firstborn came to investigate the Blatan Mercenary Guild. And theyre supposed to come again, so why not make it happen?

No, thats not it. Why do you want to meet a noble?

The reason to meet a noble.

Theres a somewhat troublesome matter, and if I meet Barvan, it will be resolved.

If Kaiyan deals with Jansen, there will be no reason for the Banson Mercenaries to hide. The simplest way to handle him is to tell the truth to Barvan, whos his direct superior. Moreover, Kaiyan has a piece of paper with the location where Jansens subordinates arranged a meeting for him.

Sigh I thought you were an odd one, but I never imagined youd be this peculiar. Kaiyan, do you not know what nobles are? Theyre people who could kill innocent commoners for simply displeasing them.

Though Kaes spoke with a tone of disappointment, Kaiyan already knew this to some extent. Living alongside Tarian, he had experienced it firsthand.

I understand. But I wish to meet him.

He probably wouldnt refuse Kaiyans proposal either. Grandel had said that Barvan was quite a suspicious individual, so theres a chance he still believes Jansen is alive. But if Kaiyan, who knows where Jansen is, offers a proposal, why would he refuse?

Unless hes a complete idiot, he wont.

Well how about visiting the Carsia family directly?

Thats not possible. Meeting Barvan needs to be done secretly.

Jansen, the cunning one, had already managed to secretly enlist several knights, including Grandel, who served Barvan directly. It was beyond imagination how many spies they had within the Carsia family. If news of Kaiyans visit reached them, Jansen would likely act first.

Is there a reason why we should entertain your request?

Kaiyan understood Kaes perspective as well. It must be confusing to be suddenly asked to arrange a meeting with a noble without any context.

There isnt one at the moment but if I meet Barvan, I will ask for one favor on behalf of the Blatan Mercenary Guild. Wouldnt that be sufficient payment?

What? Arent you a commoner?

Thats correct.

But would someone like Barvan really listen to you?

I possess a secret that would force him to listen to me.

Sigh please give me a moment to think.

Kaes closed his eyes as if pondering this strange proposition.

The reason he was considering this absurd proposal was because, if Barvan agreed to Kaiyans request at the Blatan Mercenary Guild, there would be many ways to exploit it. Damn, the requests of nobles had that much value.

With a slightly crumpled expression, Kaes, who had closed his eyes for a while, opened them again.

Kaiyan, if something goes wrong and our Guild suffers damage, what will you do?

That probably wont happen but if it does, Ill give you all this money. Think of it as collateral.

Plucking the money pouch from his pouch like he was pulling out a coat from a wardrobe, Kaiyan placed five money bags filled with 100 gold on the ground.

Heres 500 gold. Isnt that enough?

It wasnt a request to visit the noble family and arrange a meeting. He just needed to convey to the men investigating the case that Barvan had something important to say. It might not be a substantial amount of money from the guilds perspective, but it was a good deal for them if they obtained 500 gold or a nobles favor.

Furthermore, even a noble wouldnt dare to openly oppress tens of thousands of mercenaries belonging to a mercenary guild.

Well, fine. But please understand that if he declines on his side, theres nothing we can do.

Yes, that should be enough.

Kaiyan left Kaes, who was looking at him with an expression of uncertainty and headed out of the Mercenary Guild towards the inn where he had stayed with the Banson Mercenaries.

[Kaiyan! By the way, when do you plan to visit the Lukuba Merchant Group? I want to see the things theyre selling there.]

Reika, who had been silently observing the situation from within Kaiyans cloak since they entered the guild, poked her head out and asked.

I plan to do so after this matter is resolved. It shouldnt take too long.

There were now only about 10 days left until the date written on the paper that Jansen had given him. Kaiyan needed to meet Barvan and resolve the issue before then.

Ah, but do you really want me to go directly to the Lukuba Merchant Group? Wouldnt it be better to use G-Points? The city is much larger than you think!

Searching on our own might be quite difficult.

[Is that so?]

Of course, we can make use of Barvan.

Though Kaiyan wanted to meet Barvan for his own convenience, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for Barvan. If he had a conscience, he wouldnt refuse Kaiyans request.

Its an easy task for him.

The information network of nobles was vastly different from that of an ordinary commoner.

If the information about the Lukuba Merchant Group being in Blatan was true, using the resources of nobles to locate them wouldnt be too difficult. Moreover, considering that the Lukuba Merchant Group was known for selling unique items, nobles might be curious enough to seek them out.

[But what if he doesnt listen to Kaiyans request? Youve said that nobles are really bad people!]

It doesnt matter that much. Thats not the main purpose. If it doesnt work out, Ill look for another way, like requesting assistance from the mercenaries in the guild I used to work for.

From Kaiyans standpoint of not trusting the existence of nobles, Kaiyan already had the thought that Barvan might break his promise. However, even if Barvan did, the proceedings for dealing with Jansen would still continue as planned. Moreover, having tens of thousands of mercenaries in a mercenary guild, Kaiyan had already thought that it wouldnt cause much impact.

The problem would be if Barvan tried to attack Kaiyan.

Unless Im an easy catch, that is.

Kaiyan is no longer the person who would be frightened by nobles threats.

**** ****

Around five days after the visit to the mercenary Guild, a messenger sent by Kaes came to the inn where Kaiyan was staying. According to him, Kaes conveyed that a person who had been investigating for the Carsia family had something important to say and it was necessary for Barvan to meet them.

And two more days passed from then, marking the seventh day when Kaes came to the inn in person.

Kaiyan.

Yes, Kaes.

Sigh come with me to the mercenary Guild.

Kaes, who seemed somewhat disappointed, sighed as Kaiyan spoke.

Has everything gone well?

Yes, he came to the Guild in person. Its quite unexpected.

Are you referring to Barvan?

Yes, he came with his knights. Lets go quickly.
