A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - Chapter 84: (1)

“Ah, yes! We’d be happy to make a deal!”

“If I give you 300 gold now, is that okay?”

“Yes, you can give it now, or you can do it after your tour! Surely this useless bracelet won’t be sold in the meantime… Ha, hahaha!! Sorry, my tongue slipped…”

“It’s fine. Please accept this.”

As he opened his bag and handed three pouches containing 100 gold each to the merchant, Kaiyan retrieved a red bracelet from the shelf.

“Yes, the item is here!”

‘This is the ancient magical artifact worth 1500G.’

[Kaiyan, you won’t regret it! The functionality is perfect for you!]

Honestly, Kaiyan didn’t have high expectations for Lukuba Merchants, but it turned out to be a treasure trove. Of course, having Rieka made such stories possible.

If Rieka weren’t here, Kaiyan would have just passed by these treasures. After giving a little pat to the cute Rieka, he turned his head back to the shelves.

‘There are still many items left.’

Compared to this place, the Carsia family’s underground 3rd-floor warehouse was just a small room. Of course, the quality of the items couldn’t be compared.

What was important now was that there were a lot of items and among those numerous items, they could pick out treasures.

Leading with Rieka, he quickly passed by one shelf after another.

[There seem to be only bad items here!]

‘Pass.’

[Oh, oh! That’s a 500G item! Kaiyan, ask how much the yellow ring is.]

Pausing at Rieka’s surprised voice, he called the merchant.

“How much is that?”

“Ah, you mean that ring? It’s being sold for 200 gold! Speaking of that ring… hehe… actually, I don’t know its function or how to use it because it’s also an ancient artifact.”

‘As expected.’

Here, it was clearly a treasure trove. Selling a 500G item for 200 gold.

Just as he was about to take out the pouch from the compartment to get the money, ‘…It’s gone?’

There was no pouch in the compartment where the money should have been stored. Not a single one.

“Are you going to buy it?”

“Just a moment. Please wait a moment.”

Leaving the merchant behind, he carefully examined the compartment again, but the pouches that should have contained the money were nowhere to be found.

‘Why… There should be 500 gold left… Ah!’

The whereabouts of the disappeared 500 gold suddenly came to his mind.

‘I left it with the mercenary point and didn’t pick it up.’

Making such a big mistake. Instead of going to the Karsha territory right away from Barvan and Lunas’ territory, he had forgotten to stop by the mercenary point and bring back the 500 gold.

‘Is there any way…’

[Kaiyan, if you don’t have money, how about selling items from the shop? Or maybe it’s okay to sell the gems Barvan gave you.]

“Yeah, the shop! Huh? Gems? What gems?”

[The gems in the pouch Barvan gave you as a gift! Can’t you sell those? You don’t need to use G points.]

When he looked at Rieka with a puzzled expression, Rieka pointed to the pouch hanging on her waist with her short foreleg.

Hastily, he opened the pouch and found the communication device he had used earlier and three small pouches next to it.

“There are gems inside!”

‘Barvan… It seems like this guy knows how to repay favors!’

That’s how the world worked. You received a favor, and you paid back tenfold. He took out one of the three pouches and opened it. Inside, there were sparkling gems. Among them, he picked out a blue shining one and handed it to the merchant.

“How much is this?”

“Oh! It’s a Blue Routine! If it’s a blue routine, it’s considered a rare gem, so you could probably get 500 gold from our side if you sell it!.”

“…500 gold?”

When he asked for clarification on the surprisingly high price, the merchant opened his mouth as if it were natural.

“Yes, that’s right! Oh, just in case, I should mention that even if you sell it outside, you won’t be able to get more than 500 gold. Our upper-ranking members really like gems, so we’re offering a bit more than the market price.”

“Heh… How much is this?”

Next to the Blue Routine gem was a yellow shining gem, which he handed to the merchant.

“This is an Equarium Gem. We can buy it for 200 gold!”

It wasn’t as exorbitant as the Blue Routine just now, but 200 gold was still a satisfactory price.

‘How much money does this guy have, anyway?’

Even though two gems were missing, there were still about ten gems left in the pouch. Moreover, two pouches were still remaining.

If each gem was valued at more than 200 gold, the total value of the gems in the three pouches was between 6000 and 10,000 gold.

‘Well, this much should be fine.’

Thinking of the dining hall ceiling that would cost several thousand gold Coins, especially for a noble like the Marquis Family, this much didn’t seem a lot to them. Moreover, wasn’t Barvan the only successor of the Carsia Family?

After calming his mind for a moment, Kaiyan handed two gems to the merchant: a Blue Routine Gem and an Equirium Gem.

“I’ll sell these two and buy that yellow ring.”

“Alright! Please wait a moment, and I’ll bring the money!”

The merchant who took the gems rushed away. Kaiyan could have taken his time.

“Rieka, how did you notice that there were gems in here?”

[Why wouldn’t I know that? I can smell the sparkling scent!]

What exactly was a sparkling scent?

“…You didn’t know about the communication device.”

[Well, I didn’t see it with my own eyes! Unless it’s an artifact with strong energy, I wouldn’t know until I saw it directly!]

In short, while Reika recognized the gems by their sparkling scent, she didn’t realize they had a communication device because it used subtle mana.

“Yes… my mistake for not checking my pockets.”

Kaiyan patted Rieka’s head and looked around. The merchant who went to get the money returned, panting heavily.

“Heh heh… here it is! Gold, excluding the value of the items!”

“Yes, can I take this item now?”

“Of course!”

It was an ancient artifact, a ring.

What kind of magic could this yellow ring contain to be worth 500G? Kaiyan’s heart pounded at the thought of testing the functions of the items he had purchased today.

As he fiddled with the yellow ring, Rieka reached out her hand.

[Kaiyan, please give it to me! It’s mine!]

“What kind of function does it have?”

Kaiyan asked as he handed the ring to Rieka. She received it with a gleeful laugh and placed it in a pouch hanging from her back.
