The Witcher: Son of the Planes.

Billy returned to the surface and was relieved that he finally made it out alive.

Soon, Billy returned to the town of Barna.

When Resta saw Billy, who was out of breath because of the disaster he had caused, he whipped him a few times, making Billy scream.

After venting, Resta asked Billy what happened.

After listening to Billy's story, Lesta had no good idea and could only wait for the three wizards to return.

Thinking about the consequences if the three adults didn't come back, Lesta shuddered.

"Lock this guy up first and wait for the three adults to come back." Lesta ordered.

Soon, the guards took Billy away.

"I wonder if my responsibility will be less if the three masters cannot come back and use this slave to take the blame," thought Lesta.

……

Seeing a large group of cave dwellers approaching from a distance, Colin and the other two became alert and ready to cast spells at any time.

When the people came closer, they saw that the caveman in front of them was obviously different from the others. He was taller and his height was almost as tall as Colin and the other two. The weapon on his back seemed to be made of iron.

Seeing the vigilant looks of Colin and the other two, Tarim smiled and said, "Don't worry, my human friends on the surface. I have no ill intentions."

Looking at Tarim's expression, it seemed to be quite friendly. After hearing what Tarim said, the three of them felt relieved, but they still did not let down their guard.

"We are here to investigate the missing miners." Colin had no choice but to say.

"...Oh, sorry, the miners are dead." Tarim waved his hand and said.

In an instant, Colin and the other two were ready to cast spells.

Seeing the performance of Colin and the other two, Tarim felt that he had said the wrong thing.

"Wait, stop, let's talk."

Colin and the other two did not cast any spells, but they did not completely relax either. They 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. They resisted and were quickly killed by our patrol team."

"Of course, we also lost dozens of people. When I found out, I severely punished the patrol leader and executed the first few cave dwellers who took action."

"I hope that both sides can maintain peace. We have no intention of becoming enemies with you surface humans," Tarim explained.

Seeing that Tarim did not have any hostility for the time being and hearing Tarim's explanation, Colin and the other two discussed for a while and decided that Colin should come forward to negotiate with him.

"Then let's return the bodies of the miners first." Colin said.

"Uh..., I can only return some of them. Some have been smashed to pieces." Tarim didn't know what to say because some had already been eaten by the tribesmen.

"It will be hard to explain when we return. Maybe they will send out a formal wizard."

Colin had already guessed the result, and this proposal was also for Tarim to give appropriate compensation.

Tarim felt a chill in his chest. He was only as strong as an intermediate wizard apprentice. If he really met a real wizard, the difference would be like heaven and earth. His entire tribe would be wiped out.

Although there are official wizards several levels underground, they will not show up for such a small matter as mine.

There are many cave dweller tribes on the underground layer. One more or one less won't make much difference. Besides, food underground has always been in short supply. If my tribe disappears, the other tribes will definitely be very happy.

"That's not necessary, my three friends. I can make some appropriate compensation. After all, my tribe has also sacrificed many of its members. It is better to maintain peace."

After hearing that there was compensation, Colin and the other two did not dare to push them too far. After all, they were on the enemy's territory, and looking at the hundreds of cave dwellers around them, Colin and the other two could not guarantee that they could escape unscathed. It was already a good result to get this.

"Let's talk about it, what do you have here?" Colin continued to ask.

"We have some minerals here, and I don't think you'd be interested in other fern foods."

"What ore?"

"Mythril ore and chalcopyrite ore," said Tarim.

Colin did not continue to talk about the ore. Instead, he asked Tarim, "How do you speak our language?"

"We also have wizards underground. The common language is also the wizard language, but each race has its own language."

"Because I had to pay tribute to the wizards, I was given the magic of knowing languages. I and an elder in our tribe are the only ones who know this magic."

"Oh." Colin finally understood why Tarim could speak wizard language.

"Let's talk about the numbers. You know, we also need to communicate with the adults above." Colin said.

"Aren't they saying that humans on the surface are more sunny than us underground people? I think they are much darker than us." Tarim muttered to himself.

"How about 3 tons of mithril and 15 tons of brass?" said Tarim.

Have you played?

Don't know where we came 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 complete the task." Colin said with a stern face.

"Then how much do you say?"

"It should be at least 10 times more."

"This, we don't have that much." Tarim said pitifully.

……

After a period of bargaining, Colin and his two companions finally reached an agreement with Tarim.

The cavemen compensated Colin and the other two with 15 tons of mithril and 90 tons of brass, and arranged for them to send some of the miners' bodies to the surface. Colin and the other two were responsible for persuading the wizards on the surface not to pursue the disappearance of the miners.

After the agreement, Tarim wanted to make friends with Colin and his two friends and invited them to visit his tribe. However, Colin and his two friends had some concerns and wanted to return to the surface first and talk about it later.

Seeing that Colin and the other two had no intention of going to his 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 the token. He hoped that the three of them could bring some food and other supplies to exchange for the ore.

Colin and the other two finally relaxed after they put away the caveman's token.

Afterwards, Nash and Brauer continued to lead the way, and some cave dwellers carried the bodies of some miners back to the surface with Colin and the other two.

After arriving on the surface, Nash and his companions felt very uncomfortable. They left the bodies outside the mine and returned to the mine, where they soon disappeared.

……

"It's not easy. I thought I could never come back. I was a bit reckless this time," said Colin.

"Yeah, it still makes me scared when I think about it. When do you think we should bring food to trade with them?" Connie said.

"Don't go there for a short time. Didn't you hear what Tarim said? He is just an inconspicuous caveman leader. The underground world is very deep. What if you encounter some other creatures? Will you be able to come back?" Conrad said without waiting for Colin to reply.

"Send the message." Conrad and Connie said.

……

Soon, Baron Lesta came out of the mine with a group of subordinates.

After listening to the explanation of Colin and the other two and understanding what had happened, Lesta felt relieved, knowing that the cave dwellers underground would not dare to harm the slaves again.

However, looking at the corpses of these miners, Resta decided to block that direction first and mine and collect from other directions.

As for Billy, he had made a great contribution, so Lesta was going to reward him with a female slave.

Billy's dream came true.

Colin and the other two had no idea what Resta was thinking. After Resta signed the mark of mission completion, Colin and the other two set out on the journey home.
