Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 119 Francesca's Invitation

Led by Toruville, Wayne and Geralt once again entered the elven ruins in the forest. After passing through a maze-like cave, they saw the non-human race residents living here again.

However, what surprised him was that, unlike the situation when he left at the beginning of the year, the number of residents here has probably doubled or tripled. The children and old people have disappeared, and they no longer live in tents built randomly with linen. Instead, it is a simple wooden house made of trees felled from the forest outside.

The mental outlook of these people has also changed. It is no longer the weakness and hesitation, fear and helplessness seen at the beginning of the year, but a moth to the flame, full of vitality as if they were able to risk their lives for their ideals.

Ask whatever you want, and Wayne has nothing to hide.

He looked at the refreshed residents and asked Toruville:

"Your people seem to be a lot more, and they have changed a lot. Are these inhuman races persecuted in Kaedwen?"

Upon hearing this, Toruwell turned her head and glanced at Geralt who was following behind the two of them. Instead of answering immediately, she stroked her shiny black braids.

Seeing this, Wayne was about to explain that Geralt was a trustworthy person, but the white wolf rushed ahead of him and said:
"Madam Elf Commander, may I ask, is the dwarf blacksmith Horton I saw last time still here? In the first half of the year, that guy won dozens of Oren from me. I will always remember this grudge."

Toruville was silent for a second, and replied softly:
"Yes, witcher, he is the quartermaster in the camp now, in the log cabin next to the big campfire, you should be able to find him there."

After hearing this answer, Geralt didn't stop, and directly greeted Wayne and Toruwell, and then walked towards Quartermaster Holden's position.

Wayne originally wanted to keep him for a while, but after thinking about it, with Geralt's personality, he really didn't like getting involved in such things, so he gave up.

After seeing Geralt leave, Toruwell pondered for a few seconds and said to Wayne:
"The people here are all warriors who are willing to stay in Kewende Kingdom and save our compatriots, and those old people and children have been sent to Baihua Valley by us, and they are in a safe environment."

"We have been trying to find ways to rescue more people. The advice you gave us is very good. We have formed a special team and have been using bribery, buying, and hiring methods to secretly capture some captured non-human races They were all rescued."

Wayne frowned when he heard that. In his memory, it seemed that the elf king of Baihua Valley was wiped out by the troops of several northern kingdoms because of a turmoil.

Since then, until the sorceress Francesca became the queen of the elves, the elves had no actual leader.

During this period, Baihua Valley could not be called a safe place.

Of course, at this time, he will not show his predictive ability in front of Toruville, but nodded and said:
"That's not bad, but I remember that there should be many human settlements in the Valley of Hundred Flowers. The elves in the Valley of Hundred Flowers should only account for a small part, and most of them are forced to live in forests and mountains."

Toruville nodded. Although the Valley of Flowers is known as the last settlement of the free elves, it is currently a territory controlled by King Demavi of the Kingdom of Aedirn.

The king kept migrating human residents to the forest of Baihua Valley, destroying the forest, reclaiming the fields, and building houses, all in order to squeeze the living range of the free elves in the forest.

However, unlike the domesticated elves and half-elves in the city, the free elves living in the Valley of Flowers inherited the will of the ancient elf kingdom, and were the most rebellious and also the most powerful group of elves.

It is precisely because of their hard work that the elves did not completely lose the only piece of territory in the northern continent, and let the northern kings know that the elves are not helpless.

Toluwell seemed to trust Wayne quite a lot. After thinking about it, she revealed a secret to Wayne.

"Wayne, in fact, we have already connected with a big person in the Valley of Flowers, and it was she who helped us evacuate the old people and children, and also sent elite soldiers from the Valley of Flowers to help us train soldiers and provide us with life materials, to strengthen our courage against the Kingdom of Kaldway."

"The golem cores you left behind at the beginning of the year have been bought by that lord for a total of [-] crowns, which is [-]% higher than the market price, and she expresses her gratitude to you for helping us clean up this relic. grateful."

Having said that, Tolu Wilton paused for a moment before continuing:
"The adult said that if you want, she wants to meet you in person. She is quite curious about your fellow clan."

"But if you don't want to, she won't force it, because, if it's fate, there will always be a day when you will see each other."

Seeing how mysterious the elf leader said, Wayne didn't take it seriously. As someone who has read the original novel and played the game, he probably already guessed who is helping them.

Although it is true that her identity should be concealed, and it is not appropriate to expose it, so as not to cause other disputes, but looking at the entire elf clan, there are only her and a few people who can take it.

So, he pretended to be puzzled and asked:
"Toruwell, I think, no matter who you are going to see, out of the minimum sincerity, you should tell me her identity first."

"Isn't it?"

Toruwell looked at Wayne's face, hesitated for a second, then nodded and said:

"I can tell you her identity, but Wayne, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble to that lady, I hope you can keep it a secret and don't tell anyone else."

Wayne immediately nodded with a serious expression and said:

"No problem, I assure you, Toruville."

Toruville nodded, and no longer concealed it, saying:
"As a witcher, you may have heard of her name."

"Ms. Francesca Findabe, she is a great nobleman among the elves, and one of the five members of the most core council of the Warlock Brotherhood."

"She is currently the most powerful elf sorceress in the world, or she can be the most powerful sorceress."

Sure enough, it was her, Wayne thought in his heart, but he still put on a surprised expression on his face, and then pretended to think about it for more than ten seconds before saying:

"It's this lady! I've heard her name from other warlocks. It is said that she is the most beautiful lady in the world, and she is very famous in the circle of warlocks."

Hearing what Wayne said, Toruwell frowned slightly, but quickly stretched it out, saying:

"Indeed, Wayne, Lady Francesca is definitely the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. She is an extremely rare pure-blooded elf in the world. Hundreds of years ago, she has made various sacrifices for our elves. In the hearts of all clansmen, she is definitely one of the most respected people."

Wayne nodded thoughtfully. Whether in the game or in the original book, there are actually very few descriptions of this elf sorceress.

The only thing that impressed me was that after the invasion of Nilfgaard, she reached an agreement with Nilfgaard in order to allow the elves to maintain their independent status, making the Valley of Flowers an independent kingdom of elves, and became a vassal of Nilfgaard country, and clearly put aside the relationship with the Scoia'tael, helped the warlocks of Nilfgaard, captured Yennefer, and severely damaged the power of the Warlock Brotherhood.

In short, he is indeed an elf warlock who has put in a lot of effort for the continuation of the elves.

To be honest, Wayne still has a lot of respect for this kind of person. To be able to work hard for a great cause and persevere for hundreds of years, not for personal desires, for rights, for money, this is something that many mortals cannot do. to the thing.

But respect is all respect. If you become an enemy or friend with this kind of person, you will feel quite a headache, because in their hearts, personal desires are always put aside, and they will always sacrifice for the continuation of the race. .

However, demon hunters are now treated as non-human races by all human beings, even inferior to non-human races, and can be treated as monsters.

And as a half-elf, it is not a bad thing for him to know such a powerful warlock of the same race.
