A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 105: (1)

Wow! Lets walk from here. Youve done well, Blackie.

Youve done well!

Three days had passed since they parted ways with Linda and left the capital, heading east.

Its true; weve covered quite a distance. Weve already come this far from the central area.

Just as I said, it was a good idea to visit the Magic Tower. Lets purchase the necessary equipment for the journey.

Those were the words of the magician who had guided them before they left the capital of the Mareon Empire. Following Riekas suggestion, they visited the Magic Tower and used the money received from Lukuba merchants to buy various items.

That Thermal Cloak does seem quite useful.

The cloak currently wrapped around Kaiyan and Blackie was made of soft fur and was none other than the Thermal Cloak.

It was a magical artifact that cost a whopping 500 gold each. Its effect was quite straightforward; it emitted a gentle warmth from the cloak, maintaining the users body temperature even in cold weather.

Thanks to the Thermal Cloak, Blackie could endure the cold, and their daily travel distance had significantly increased.

[They cant compare to the items sold in the shop, but these are practically treasures. The magicians of the Eunasia continent are quite skilled!]

Indeed.

Kaiyan couldnt help but wonder if the magician who created the Thermal Cloak was still alive. Would he die if he heard Riekas words?

Rieka, who was snuggled inside the cloak, seemed to like the inside, so Kaiyan patted her gently and took out the map they had purchased together.

Um

[Is the closest place from here the Cabinele Territory? Are you planning to visit there?]

No, to reach there, well have to make a bit of a detour. In that case, its better to stay in the dimensional space. Its preferable to visit the Lumbanium Territory, which is on the border between the central and eastern regions.

It was quite a distance away, about five days on horseback from their current location, but the Lumbanium Territory was marked on the map strangely. According to the map, the Lumbinium Territory belonged to both the central and eastern regions.

Why did they divide the territories like this? No, did the person who divided the borders make a mistake?

[Thats right. Its divided evenly between different regions! Its fascinating!]

So, was the Lord of Lumbinium Territory affiliated with the eastern or central region? In reality, it wasnt crucial for them, but ever since they had learned about the noble world, Kaiyan had become slightly interested.

In any case, since were going to visit the territory, we can ask the residents there. The people living in the territory should know.

[In that case, it would be better if its affiliated with the eastern region!]

Why?

[Because we would finally set foot in the eastern region!]

Then shall we go faster? Hold on tight, Rieka!

Kaiyan lowered his posture slightly and applied force to both legs, gripping Rieka tightly.

Squish! Boom!

The frozen ground, hard due to the cold weather, was pushed down, and Kaiyans body shot forward, breaking through the chilly air and speeding ahead. It was an incredible speed that an ordinary person would not be able to withstand due to the air pressure.

Before reaching the capital, the pressure of the wind was something Kaiyan wouldnt have attempted to face in the frigid air if it werent for the warming cloak enveloping his body.

Just two more days, and well be in Lumbanium.

Sigh It took several months to get here. Perhaps it took longer than expected due to the detour.

**** ****

Banson Mercenary group was connected to Kaiyan through fate.

The mercenary group had parted ways with Kaiyan on the Louis Plain and had been heading straight to the Marianne Empire via the borders when they encountered strange people in a peculiar border region, which was unusual since there should have been no one around.

A person with a white robe turned inside out, covering his face, and two men wearing half-armor as if guarding them.

The three of them had been highly suspicious of the suddenly appearing Mercenary Company, but upon learning they were mercenaries and were headed for the Marianne Empire, they abruptly requested a commission.

The request was to temporarily include them in the Mercenary Company and travel with them to the Lumbanium Territory, which was part of the Marianne Empire.

Initially, the Mercenary Company had tried to decline the request, as they were not in a position to take on commissions, but they couldnt help but accept it due to the exorbitant amount they offered.

The upfront payment they provided was a staggering 1,000 gold. On top of that, an additional 2,000 gold upon safely arriving in Lumbanium. It was a tremendous sum of money, equivalent to what an A-grade mercenary group, considered the best in the mercenary world, would earn after several commissions.

But Verium, are you sure we can accept the 2,000 gold?

Benson, who was walking ahead, asked Verium, the man beside him.

Of course. That was the initial agreement; we must honor it.

Haha Well then, well gladly accept. Thanks to this, it seems we wont have to do mercenary work anymore.

Not only Benson but also most mercenaries risk their lives as mercenaries to earn money, not because they enjoy being mercenaries. There were very few people who did it because they wanted to.

However, with this commission alone, they would receive a total of 3,000 gold. And that was for a mercenary group with only nine members.

But continuing to be mercenaries even after receiving such money would be foolish.

Banson and the mercenaries, including him, had all intended to quit being mercenaries after completing this job.

I hope we arrive soon.

Me too. Finally Finally, we can go back.

Veriums eyes sparkled as he spoke, as if yearning for something, and Banson, walking beside him, cautiously asked.

Um if its not too intrusive, is the person were escorting a noble?

Benson, riding a horse behind, briefly glanced at the person in the white robe and the man beside them.

Despite the significant amount of time the Mercenary Company had traveled with them, they had never once shown their faces to the mercenaries. They hadnt revealed their identity either.

Were only in it for the money, but the amount is so large that it makes me uneasy.
