Watching Geralt leave with the two young men, Wayne actually felt a rare sense of relief.

It has been almost two years since he came to this world. There are always people around him who he needs to worry about, and he has always needed to hide his abilities.

This is the first time I feel free and at ease.

He turned around and looked at Toluvel beside him, and said with some familiarity:

"It's getting late now, Toluvel, let's go to where you live and talk about the commission."

"I'm still a little curious about how you live in the cave."

The female elf frowned when she heard this. Wayne's suddenly familiar attitude made her a little confused, but after all, she had a commission to be completed by the demon hunter, so she didn't care too much.

After giving some instructions to the elf archers on the tree, she ordered them to continue hiding. After guarding the cave entrance, she signaled Wayne to follow her and led them into the cave.

This is a cave similar to a stalactite cave. There are countless cone-shaped stalactites on the roof of the cave. The entrance is not large, but the internal space is quite wide.

Wayne followed Toluvel. The female elf held a torch in her hand that she took down near the entrance of the cave. With some unknown light coming from somewhere, she walked in a zigzag manner along the way. A maze of complex routes.

Finally, we followed an underground river more than one meter wide, passed through a beautiful huge arch, and arrived at a building that resembled an elven underground ruins.

The space here is very large, and the structure is similar to the banquet hall in the palace. Four huge stone pillars connect the floor and ceiling, supporting a huge space.

“This is where we’ll be living for now.”

Toluvel pointed in one direction in the hall, where there were several burning bonfires. There were more than a dozen different tents of various sizes erected beside the bonfires.

Some elves and dwarves were sitting by the campfire to rest, talk and work. They were men and women, old and young. Most of them were wearing simple clothes and had haggard expressions. They should be ordinary civilians.

Wayne even saw a few short halflings standing by the iron pot next to the campfire, stirring a huge spoon and cooking food.

"They are all poor people who have been persecuted by humans, lost their loved ones, had their property taken away, and cannot survive in the towns."

There was no expression on Toluvel's face, she just spoke calmly.

"We took them in, taught them to fight, taught them how to survive in the forest."

"But the king's soldiers are still hunting us and trying to kill us all."

"There is nothing we can do but resist."

Wayne was somewhat silent as he listened to the female elf's narration. In the world of demon hunters, elves, dwarves, halflings and other non-human races have always been the targets of persecution.

Thousands of years ago, the Iron Sheidi elves kindly took in the human refugees who wandered into this world due to the convergence of celestial bodies. Along with this race, there have been cleansings and massacres.

They were forcibly killed from a huge race that had ruled the continent for thousands of years to a minority race now.

Wayne did not have the ability or leisure to interfere in the affairs of the inhuman race for the time being. He skipped this topic and asked while observing the surrounding ruins:

"This ruins looks huge, but you all live in this hall."

"The commission you gave us is for us to help you clean up this ruins?"

Toluvel nodded, placed his palm on the iron sword at his waist, and said directly without hiding anything:

"That's right, Witcher."

"This is an elf ruin that we found by chance. Although it is in a dark underground environment and is inconvenient for living, it is at least private enough to have a shelter from wind and rain for us to live."

"But this place has been abandoned for too long, and there are already many monsters living in the ruins."

"Several of my warriors have been damaged by the monsters here."

"You are demon hunters and experts in dealing with monsters, so I want to entrust you to help us clean up the monsters here."

Wayne nodded and did not agree immediately. Instead, he began to observe the situation of the ruins.

The history of this ruins is obviously quite long, and many places have been damaged and destroyed due to the baptism of time. However, from the exquisite murals and beautiful statues that can be seen everywhere here, we can still see the strength of the elven civilization in the past.

Through dark vision, Wayne discovered that there were four gates connecting to other places in the hall where Toluvel and others lived.

In addition to the huge arch through which they entered, there was another stone door that had been sealed by stones and mud. The other two were guarded by dwarves and elves holding weapons and torches, obviously to guard against attacks by monsters. .

However, Wayne has already accepted Misha's mission of finding people today, even if he accepts the mission of the elves' ruins again, he will not be rewarded.

Therefore, he just observed casually in the hall, and said to Toruville:

"I can help you clean up this ruin, Toruville."

"However, it's very late now. We demon hunters must make adequate preparations before fighting monsters."

"So, please help me find a quieter place so that I can prepare for the battle."

"Tomorrow, after my companion and I meet up, we have discussed the issue of compensation, and we will start your commission."
