The Witcher: Son of the Planes
Chapter 63: Caveman
Billy, who returned to the surface, breathed a sigh of relief and finally made it out alive.
Soon, Billy returned to the town of Barna.
Lestat saw Billy who was out of breath. Because he had caused a big disaster, he whipped him several times, making Billy scream.
After venting, Lesta asked Billy what was going on.
After hearing what Billy said, Lesta had no other choice but to wait for the three wizards to return.
If those three adults couldn't come back, Lesta was trembling when he thought about the consequences.
"Lock this guy up first and wait for the three adults to come back." Lesta ordered.
Soon, the guards took Billy under custody.
"I wonder if the three adults will not come back and take the blame on this slave. Will I be less responsible then?" Lesta thought.
…
Seeing a large group of cavemen walking in the distance, Colin and the three of them also looked alert, ready to release spells at any time.
When the visitor came closer, it was obvious that a caveman in front of him was different from the others. He was taller, close to the three Colins in height, and the weapon on his back seemed to be made of iron.
Looking at the wary eyes of Colin and the other three, Tarim smiled and said, "Human friends on the surface, don't worry, I don't mean any harm."
Looking at Tarim's expression, he should be relatively friendly. After hearing Tarim's words, the three of them felt relieved, but they still did not relax their vigilance.
"We are here to investigate the missing miners." As a last resort, Colin said bravely.
"...Oh, sorry, the miners are already dead." Tarim waved his hand and said.
In an instant, Colin and the three were ready to release the spell.
Seeing the performance of the three Colins, Tarim felt that he had said the wrong thing.
"Wait, stop now and let's talk."
The three Colins did not release spells, but they did not relax completely and looked at Tarim. Waiting for his explanation.
"Well, about twenty days ago, your surface miners dug a road through our side and were accidentally discovered by our patrol team. Due to their resistance, they were quickly killed by our patrol team. ”
"Of course, we also lost dozens of people. After I found out, I severely punished the patrol leader and executed the first few cavemen."
"I hope that both of us will value peace. We have no intention of becoming enemies of you surface humans." Tarim explained.
Seeing that Tarim was indeed not hostile for the time being, and hearing Tarim's explanation, the three of Colin discussed for a while, and it was Colin who came forward to negotiate with him.
"Then return the bodies of those miners first." Colin said.
"Uh..., I can only return some, some of them have been beaten to pieces." Tarim didn't know what to say, because some of them had been eaten by his tribe.
"Then it won't be easy to explain after we go back. Maybe the higher-ups will dispatch an official wizard."
Colin had already guessed the result, and this proposal also allowed Tarim to compensate him appropriately.
Tarim felt frightened. He was only an intermediate wizard apprentice. If he really encountered a formal wizard, it would undoubtedly be a huge difference between heaven and earth, and his tribe would be wiped out.
Although there are official wizards in the lower levels of the underground, they will not come forward for such a trivial matter.
There are many tribes of cavemen on the underground level. One more of them is not more, and one less of them is not less. Besides, there is always a shortage of food underground. Without my tribe, other tribes will be very happy.
"That's not necessary. Three friends, I can make some appropriate compensation. After all, our clan has sacrificed many people, so peace is the most precious thing."
After hearing that there was compensation, the three of them did not dare to push too hard. After all, they were on the other side's territory and looked at the hundreds of cavemen around them. The three of them did not dare to guarantee that they could escape unscathed. This result was already achieved. Not bad.
"Then let's talk, what do you have here?" Colin continued to ask.
"We have some ores here, and I think you are also familiar with other fern foods."
"What ore?"
"Mythril ore and chalcopyrite ore," Tarim said.
Colin did not continue talking about the ore, but instead asked Tarim: "How do you speak our language."
"We also have wizards underground, and the common language is also the language of wizards, but each race has its own language."
"Because I have to pay tribute to the wizards, I was given the witchcraft that I can understand in the language. The only ones in our tribe who know this witchcraft are me and a tribe elder."
"Oh." Colin finally figured out why Tarim could speak wizarding language.
"Let's talk about the quantity. You know, we also need to communicate with the adults above." Colin said.
"Isn't it said that humans on the surface are brighter than us underground people? I think it is much darker than us." Tarim thought to himself.
"How about 3 tons of mithril and 15 tons of brass?" Tarim said.
Have you played?
Don't know where we come from?
Above is the mithril mine, 3 tons, which is the workload of 10 slaves in one day.
"No, it's too little. We can't make it." Colin said with a straight face.
"Then how much do you say?"
"It has to be doubled by 10 times."
"Here, we don't have that many." Tarim said pitifully.
…
After a period of back-and-forth haggling, the three Colins and Tarim finally reached an agreement.
The cavemen compensated Colin and his two friends with 15 tons of mithril and 90 tons of brass, and arranged for the cavemen to send some of the miners' bodies to the surface. Colin and his two friends were responsible for persuading the wizards on the surface not to pursue the disappearance of the miners.
After the agreement, Tarim wanted to get to know Colin and his two friends and invited them to visit his tribe, but Colin and his two friends had concerns and wanted to return to the surface first and talk about it later.
Seeing that Colin and his two friends had no intention of going to their tribe, Tarim gave each of them an iron token and said that if they came next time, they could come directly to his tribe with this token. He hoped that the three of them could come and bring some food and other supplies to exchange for ore.
Colin and his two friends collected the cavemen's token and relaxed.
Afterwards, Nash and Brauer continued to lead the way, and some cavemen carried some miners' bodies and returned to the surface with Colin and his two friends.
After arriving on the surface, Nash and his team were not used to it. They placed the bodies outside the mine and returned to the mine, and soon disappeared.
…
"It's not easy. I thought I couldn't come back. I was a little reckless this time." Colin said.
"Yeah, I'm still a little scared when I think about it. When do you think we should bring food to trade with them?" Connie said.
"Don't go in the short term. Didn't you hear what that Tarim said? He is just the most inconspicuous caveman leader. The water in the underground world is deep. If you encounter any other creatures, can you come back?" Conrad said without waiting for Colin to reply.
"Send a message." Conrad and Connie said.
…
Soon, Baron Resta brought a group of subordinates to the outside of the mine.
After listening to Colin and the other two's explanation and understanding what was going on, Resta was relieved, knowing that the cavemen underground would not dare to hurt the slaves again.
However, looking at the bodies of these miners, Resta decided to block that direction first and mine and collect from other directions.
As for Billy, he had done a great job, and Lesta was going to reward him with a female slave.
Billy's dream had come true.
Colin and the other two didn't know what Lesta was thinking. After Lesta signed the seal of mission completion, Colin and the other two set out on their journey back home.
