Barvan had co in person. Just as Grandel had said, he seed to be a suspicious character. Otherwise, there would be no reason for Barvan to co all the way here upon hearing about sothing important without knowing the exact reason.
Following Kaes, who was urging him with impatience, Kaiyan headed towards the rcenary Guild in the heart of Blatan.
But Kaiyan, are you really okay with this? How about reconsidering it even now?
Im fine. However, as I ntioned before, until Barvan and I discuss it alone, you should never ntion the fact that Im a survivor of the Therian rchant Group.
Just to be safe, Kaiyan had firmly instructed Kaes and the rcenary point staff, in case the spies got wind of my survival. If word spread to those spy bastards that I was alive, Jansen would probably escape.
What Kaiyan was worried about was the possibility of the gathering organized by Jansen getting canceled. If Kaiyan couldnt sort things out this ti, it would be uncertain when Kaiyan could et Barvan and deal with Jansen.
But Kaiyan couldnt waste ti wandering around to find him, especially when Kaiyan couldnt personally kill him and leave no trace. Moreover, if he were to be killed without a trace, there could be trouble if its discovered it was Kaiyans doing, and the Kingdom might send a pursuit party.
Its quiet. Unlike usual.
Though they had arrived at the rcenary point with Kaes, the sounds of the rcenaries bustling around inside, which was typical, werent audible.
Well, anyone who doesnt know that these are noble folks here even if they ca secretly is blind.
Well lets go inside.
Covering his entire body with a black robe he had prepared in advance, Kaiyan followed Kaes into the rcenary point. As soon as he entered, what caught his eye were ten knights observing their surroundings with sharp gazes. And behind them, three people similarly dressed in flipped robes.
Who is this person?
When Kaes and Kaiyan approached the robed figures, the knight at the forefront raised his sword and shouted.
This is the person I talked about.
Is that so? Then, remove your robe and reveal your identity.
The knight didnt seem eager to let them pass even after Kaes spoke, and he kept his sword raised, his expression brimming with arrogance.
Kaes, its alright. From now on, I will speak.
Stepping forward, Kaiyan cald down the agitated Kaes.
I want to have a private conversation with Barvan.
Doesnt this guy hear ? Remove your robe and reveal your identity! Now!
Ignoring the knights demands, Kaiyan looked back at him, causing the knight to raise his sword and shout as if he was about to swing it at any mont.
I dont want to listen to soone whose neck might be cut off soon. I want to talk to Barvan alone.
This guy! My words dont reach him?
Eventually, the knight couldnt contain himself any longer and swung his sword.
Whether he was complacent or his skills were lacking, Kaiyan easily dodged the sword. However, he continued to look at the robed figure without avoiding the sword flying towards his head.
Stop.
A voice in a deep, low tone was barely audible. It was the kind of voice that gave you chills when you heard it.
And it seed the sa for the knight as well because he halted the sword he was swinging right in front of my nose.
Looking at the knight with confusion as he glanced behind him, the knight opened his mouth in surprise.
B-Barvan-nim
I want to talk with him.
But, with soone whose identity is unknown
You find my words amusing?
N-No, not at all.
Another robed figure beside the one addressed as Barvan gestured towards Kaes. Passing by the knights, as Kaiyan and the robed figures approached, the robed figure on the far right spoke up.
Its impossible for Barvan to have a private conversation. Instead, I and the knights, excluding Ecrin and Salmos, will leave.
Fine.
From the beginning, Kaiyan hadnt thought that he and Barvan could have a quiet conversation alone. After all, they didnt know my identity.
Still, if they appeared to be among Barvans closest, it should be fine. Jansen couldnt have recruited even the closest ones.
Co this way.
Following Kaes guidance, Kaiyan and the robed figures were led not to the training grounds they usually entered but to a small room with a table and chairs.
Well, have your conversation
As Kaes closed the door and left, the robed figures removed their deep-robed attire. Two of them appeared to be middle-aged, and the remaining one was a young man with a cold deanor.
How long do you plan to keep wearing the robe?
The man who could be presud as Barvan spoke up.
At his words, Kaiyan lifted the robe that was pressed down and slightly lowered his head.
Hello. I am Kaiyan.
Though his behavior of bowing probably didnt please them, their faces turned fierce, but whats disappointing now is Barvan.
Hmm Kaiyan, huh? Thats a na Ive never heard before. But why did you say that Crewin would lose his head?
That man, Crewin, was probably the one who swung his sword at from outside. And that story seed to have piqued Barvans curiosity.
Youll know that if you listen to my story.
Kaiyan didnt intend to be arrogant toward Crewin.
Sure enough, in a mont, Crewins head will roll down just as he said.
I see. So, why did you co looking for ?
To provide valuable information to Barvan-nim. Well, if you hear it, youll probably think it was a good decision to co.
Oh ho, go on and tell .
Though Barvan looked interested and stared at , just before I began, two middle-aged n standing behind Barvan drew their swords.
How dare you to Barvan!
Ecrin Gyeong, Salmos Gyeong. Calm down. So, what do you want?
Barvan tried to calm them down and still had an intrigued expression on his face as he asked.
Is he relaxed or just wearing a mask?
If he was a noble like Tarien, he would have imdiately yelled to cut off my head. Its a bit unexpected.
The first is to grant a favor to the Blatan rcenary Guild from the Carsia family, and the second is to give information about the location of the Lukuba rchant Group in Blatan, which has been rumored to be present.
Hmm Lukuba rchant Group Well, its not that difficult. Is that all?
Yes, thats the price.
Now, tell the information you have.
Though Barvans smile made it seem like he was enjoying the story, if he doesnt like it even a bit, he might order the knights behind him to cut Kaiyans throat.
But the story he will tell Barvan is definitely worth his satisfaction.
Jansen de Carsia. Jansen, the second in the Carsia family and the younger brother of Barvan, is alive.
Before my words even finished, Barvans smiling face shattered, and he opened his mouth wide in surprise. It oddly made Kaiyan feels good.
