“Yes?”
Care did not keep her mouth open to see if she was embarrassed by what I said.
“I'd like to meet Baran, the first of the Karsia family. Oh, should I call you Baran? ”
“N-no... Let's just say that... why? ”
“I heard the Carthians were investigating Vratan mercenaries. And he said he was coming back out. How could he not? ”
“No, that's not it. Why do you want to meet the nobles? ”
That's why I want to meet the nobles.
“It's a bit of a nuisance, but if I meet Baran, it'll be solved. ”
If we take care of Jansen, there's no reason for the Barneson mercenaries to run. And the simplest way to get rid of him is to tell Baran, the adversary. I just had a piece of paper with the meeting place that his man handed me.
“Ha... I thought you were strange. I didn't think you were this unusual. Mr. Kaiyan, don't you know what nobles are like? They can kill innocent civilians because they feel bad. ”
I said it in a disappointed voice, but I already know the truth. I felt it with Tarien.
“I know, but I'd like to meet him. ”
He won't refuse my offer. Grandel says that Baran is suspicious, so Jansen may still think he's alive. And you refuse my offer to tell you where Jansen is?
"You can't do that unless you're an idiot. ’
“Phew... Then why don't you go to the Karsias yourself?" ”
“You can't do that. I have to meet Baran in secret. ”
The meticulous Jansen has already secretly compiled several articles, including Grandel, Baran's direct knight. I can't imagine how many spies there are in the Karsia family. Perhaps, if word gets out that I'm on my way, Jansen will have a better chance of getting his hands on it first.
“… is there a reason we should listen to that request? ”
I understand the way Care is. You must be embarrassed that you asked me to arrange a meeting with the nobles.
“Not at the moment... but if I meet Baran, I'll tell him to give me one thing he wants at the Vratan Mercenary Post." Wouldn't that be enough? ”
“Yes? Isn't Mr. Kaiyan a commoner? ”
“That's right.”
“But will the Baryan listen to Mr. Kaiyan? ”
“I have a secret that I have to listen to. ”
“H-give me a moment to think. ”
Care closes her mouth, either worrying or blindfolded.
He considers this absurd offer because, as I said, there are plenty of places for Baran to use if he can do one thing for the Vratan mercenary branch.
Damn it. Noble's request is worth it.
Care closes her eyes, frowning for a few minutes.
“Mr. Kaiyan, what would you do if… something went wrong and our branch suffered damage? ”
“It won't happen... but if it does, I'll give you all this money. Think of it as a kind of collateral. ”
Toowook.
I summoned the locker and took out five bags of silver with 100 gold on the floor, as if they were taken out of my coat.
“500 gold. Isn't that enough? ”
I'm not asking you to go to the noble family and arrange a meeting. All you have to do is tell them that there's something important to say to Baran.
It may not be a lot of money for you to do that, but if you get asked by 500 Gold or nobles, it's still a business.
Besides, no matter how noble, hundreds of thousands of mercenaries can attack a mercenary guild.
“Ha, good. But if they refuse, we will be of no use to you. ”
“Yes, that's enough. ”
Leaving Care staring at you with an ignorant expression, I left the mercenary guild and headed out to the inn where I stayed with the Barneson Mercenaries.
[Kaiyan! But when will you find the Lucuba Merchant Guild? I can't wait to see what they're selling.]
After entering the mercenary guild, Rica asked, watching the situation quietly in her arms.
“I'm going to figure this out and find it. I don't think it's gonna take long. ”
Jansen only has 10 days left to write the date on the paper. Before that, we should meet up with Baran and sort things out.
[Aha, but are you sure you want to find the Lucuba Merchant Guild yourself? Wouldn't it be better to use G points? The city is too big!]
“It's hard to find them yourself. ”
[Yes?]
“Of course we should use Baran. ”
I'm going to meet Baran to make myself comfortable, but I think this is good for Baran. If he has a conscience, he won't refuse my request.
‘This is easy for him. ’
Nobles have a different level of intelligence than ordinary people.
If the Lucuba Merchant Guild is really in Blatan, it shouldn't be that hard to find it with noble intelligence. Besides, if the Lucuban Merchant Guild sells unusual goods, the nobles might even be curious about them.
[What if he doesn't listen to Kaiyan's request! I heard nobles are very bad guys!]
“But it doesn't matter. That's not the main purpose. If I feel bad, I'll have to find another way to quest the mercenary guild I was in. ”
I already have an idea that Baran might break his promise if I don't believe in the existence of nobility. However, even if he breaks his promise, Jansen will continue to be dealt with, and he already thinks that the guild of mercenaries with hundreds of thousands of mercenaries won't hurt much.
If there's a problem, Baran's trying to kill me.
"No matter how hard he tries, I'm not the one who gets caught. ’
I'm not afraid of the nobleman's discipline anymore.

About five days after I visited the mercenary camp, Care sent me to the inn where I was tied up. He said that Care has something important to say to the investigators in the Karsia family, and that he needs to meet with Baran.
And two more days later, on the seventh day, Care came directly to the inn.
“Mr. Kaiyan. ”
“Yes, Mr. Care. ”
“Hah... Come with me to the mercenary camp. ”
Care sighs as she sighs, looking a little worthless.
“Did things go well? ”
“Yes, he came to the branch himself. I didn't think so. ”
“You mean Baran? ”
“Yes, he brought the knights himself. So let's go. ”
I can't believe Baran came here himself. As Grandel said, I suspect he's right. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come all the way here if you didn't know the exact reason and had something important to say.
You follow the urgent care to the mercenary's point in the heart of Blatan.
“By the way... Mr. Kaiyan, are you sure you're okay? Why don't you reconsider? ”
“That's all right. But, as I said before, I must never tell you that I am a survivor of the Terrian Merchant Guild until Baran and I have spoken alone." ”
I've made it clear to Care and the mercenary branch staff that they know I'm alive, just in case.
‘If the spies hear that I'm alive, Jansen will run away. ’
What worries me is that Jansen's meeting has been canceled. If we don't get this sorted out, we won't know why we're meeting with Baran and when we'll deal with Jansen.
But I can't waste my time looking for him and kill him myself.
‘Besides, if I don't kill them, the Imperial Chasers will follow me if they find out it was me. ’
Killing a nobleman is like killing hundreds of civilians. If the Kingdom decides to send a pursuit force, you can run away because you have a shop, but you may have to enter a city without dreaming of entering your home again.
“Quiet. Unlike always. ”
You arrive in front of the Care and Mercenary branches, but you hear no chatter from the noisy mercenaries within.
“Even if you come secretly, there won't be mercenaries who don't know they're a bunch of nobles. ”
“Well... let's go in then. ”
You follow Care into the mercenary camp with the black robe wrapped around your head. As soon as I got inside, the first thing I saw was ten knights looking around with sharp eyes. And then three guys in robes just like me.
‘They are quite strong, and one is weak. ’
There is a good chance that one of the three Robbes is Baran.
“Who is this guy? ”
As you approach the Robbins with Care, the knight in the front shouts with his sword out.
“This is the man I was telling you about. ”
“Really? Then take off your robes and reveal yourself. ”
The knight smiles arrogantly, raising his sword to make it easier on Care's words.
“But…. ”
“Ms. Cares, it's okay. I'm going to talk to you now. ”
You step forward, drying the sticky care.
“I'd like to speak with Baran alone. ”
“You bastard! Can't you hear me? Take off your robes and reveal yourself! Now!”
Ignoring the knight, he looks behind him and says, as if the knight were about to swing his sword, he thrust in more.
“I don't want to hear anyone's throat fall out in a minute. What I want is a conversation with Baran. ”
“Ew...! Fucking mercenaries! ”
Eventually, the knight couldn't resist and wielded his sword.
Whether he is careless or low in quality, the sword can be avoided lightly. However, you continue to stare at the Robbins without avoiding the flying sword to your head.
“Stop.”
A bass that sounds bad. It is a voice that makes me feel creepy when I hear it.
And I stopped the sword he was wielding in front of me, whether it was the same for the knight.
He looks back and opens his mouth in embarrassment.
“Ba, Baran... ”
“I want to talk to him. ”
“But I don't know who he is.... ”
“Am I being ridiculous? ”
“Oh, no. ”
Another robe next to the robin, known as Baran, gestures at me and Care. Passing by the knights, the robe on the far right opens his mouth.
“It is impossible for Baran to speak alone. I'll leave you all the knights except me and Ikrain. ”
“Very well.”
I didn't think we'd be able to talk in private from the start. They don't know who I am.
But I think it would be okay if I had two knights who look like the worst. Don't tell me Jansen didn't get to the bottom of this.
“Come in this way. ”
The Robbes and I followed Care's instructions to a small room with tables and chairs, rather than the training ground we used to enter.
“Then let's talk... ”
Care closes the door and takes off the robe the Robes were deeply pressing on. Two are middle-aged and the other one is a cool young man.
“How long are you planning on wearing a robe? ”
The man, presumed to be Baran, opens his mouth.
He lowers his head slightly, taking off the robe that was pressing deeply into his words.
“Greetings. I am Kaiyan. ”
If I don't like the way I stand up to the common people, the faces of the two middle-aged people have become ugly, but I'm afraid it's Baran now.
“Hmm... Kaiyan. I've never heard that name before. Then, Kaiyan, why did you tell Kreuin his neck would fall? ”
It seems that someone named Cruin was swinging his sword at me outside. And it seemed to arouse Baran's curiosity.
“You'll see that when you hear my story. ”
I didn't mean to be presumptuous with a knight named Cruin.
Truly, in a few moments, he will be decapitated, like I said.
“I see. Then what did you find me for? ”
“To give good information to Varane. Well, if you've heard of it, you'd be glad to come. ”
“Oh, tell me about it. ”
I looked at Baran with my eyes wide open as if he were interesting.
“I want to be paid before that. ”
The two middle-aged men standing behind Baran draw their swords to see if my words were arrogant.
“How dare...! Dear Baran!”
“Ser Icrane, Ser Salmos. Calm down. Okay, what do you want? ”
Baran calms them down and asks with an interesting look on his face.
‘Leisure or masks. ’
I'm a little surprised that a noble like Tarien would yell at me right now.
“The first is to hear one thing from the Cartian mercenary branch, and the second is to tell us the location of the rumored Lukuba Merchant Guild. ”
“Hmm... The Lucuba Merchant Guild... Well, it's not that hard. Is that the end?”
“Yes, that's the end of the price. ”
“Now tell me what information you have. ”
If Baran laughs and says that he doesn't like my story at all, I'll tell the knights behind me to slit my throat with a smile removed.
But the story I'm going to tell Baran is worth his while.
“Jansen de Carsia. Jansen, the second son of Karsia and Baran's younger brother, is alive. ”
It felt good to see Baran open his mouth with his smile broken before I finished speaking.
“Yes?”
Care did not keep her mouth open to see if she was embarrassed by what I said.
“I'd like to meet Baran, the first of the Karsia family. Oh, should I call you Baran? ”
“N-no... Let's just say that... why? ”
“I heard the Carthians were investigating Vratan mercenaries. And he said he was coming back out. How could he not? ”
