Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 23 Buying a Horse
The next morning, the first thing Wayne did when he opened his eyes was to open the mission system to check whether the previous commission had been completed.

The result is not bad, the system seems to be quite humane in this respect, although he handed over the follow-up of the task to Geralt, the task of finding people entrusted by Misha has been completed.

He gets 45 experience points and an expert chest.

The rewards for expert-level tasks are generous, which is almost equivalent to the experience rewards of fifteen ordinary-level tasks.It is estimated that after completing the task of exploring the ruins this time, his demon hunter level will be raised to level six, and his strength will be slightly improved again.

Of course, expert-level tasks are quite difficult.

For example, in this mission of finding people, if Wayne and Geralt insisted on going their own way and wanted to use strong methods to take away the two young people, they would have to conflict with these more than 100 non-human races, and it would inevitably be a big battle.

Instead of completing the commission for the elves to solve this matter as it is now.

This attempt also gave Wayne an interesting idea. Does his quest system only focus on the results of the quest, or does he have to participate and complete it himself?

Can he recruit a few apprentices, and then let the apprentices work for him to complete the task and let him cut leeks?
Of course, Wayne is just a fledgling novice witcher now, with neither connections nor wealth, it's still too early to talk about these things.

But when he has enough influence and strength in the future, he will definitely explore this aspect, develop the convenience of the system, and speed up its becoming stronger.

After getting dressed again, Wayne divided the money bag containing more than 500 ducats obtained last night, put [-] of them into another money bag, and hung it on his belt.

But the purse was still too heavy, and it was quite conspicuous. It directly pulled his belt crookedly, which looked a little weird.

He put on his coat, covered the money bag in the large coat, bent over and pushed open the curtain of the tent to look out. In the dim underground ruins, there were already active residents in the opposite camp.

The slender Toruville was sitting by the campfire, holding a square whetstone and polishing a beautiful one-handed sword.

After the talk last night, the relationship between the two is no longer as strange as before.

Wayne is not a social horror, he has always been very popular when he was a student, although he is not a social bull, but there is no problem in normal communication.

With a smile on his face, he took the initiative to sit opposite Toruville, looked at the female elf, and said directly:
"Toruwell, I have a little favor, can you help me?"

The female elf's hand that was sharpening the blade paused for a moment, looked up into Wayne's eyes, and said:
"I need help with something, Wayne, if you don't make it clear, I can't promise without authorization."

Wayne was not polite to her either, and asked directly:
"Just a little thing."

"Have you any spare horses here? I wish I could buy one."

Toruwell thought for two seconds, nodded, and said:
"Indeed, there are a few good horses, which we snatched from the Kevinde soldiers, and are being raised in the forest outside the cave."

"I can give you one if you really want it."

"But now, we are being hunted by Kaedwen's soldiers, and coins are not of much use to us."

"Take it as part of the reward for exploring the ruins this time, and credit it to you."

Wayne was a little surprised when he heard that. According to what he learned from Geralt, a good horse for traveling is probably worth around [-] ducats. In this era, it is considered a relatively precious thing.

It seems that Toruwell attaches great importance to this commission to clean up the relics, and is willing to pay much more generously than those villagers.

However, he is not a man who likes to take advantage of others in terms of material things. Compared to getting a horse for nothing, he hopes to get the spoils in the elf ruins.

Wayne reached out and took down the huge money bag hanging from his belt, and threw it in front of Toruwell, saying in a persuasive tone:
"No, Toruwell, you need money more than you think."

"There are a total of [-] ducats here, which should be the market price of horses in human towns."

"As for the role of money, Toruville, you underestimate them."

"Didn't you find it? In human society, money is almost omnipotent."

"It allows you to buy the supplies you need to survive in the city, it allows you to buy weapons and equipment needed for combat, it allows you to bribe those city guards, and rescue the non-human race compatriots in the prison."

"As long as your wealth is strong enough, you can even hire a mercenary army to help you defeat the armies of other kingdoms on the frontal battlefield."

"Just like the Kovir Kingdom back then, it was precisely because they possessed huge wealth that many kingdoms that wanted to conquer it failed."

Toruwell seemed to understand, she looked at the huge money bag on the ground, thought for a few seconds, and still asked questions, saying:

"But those human merchants, city guards, or mercenary legions cannot be trusted at all."

"They may not only defraud us of our coins, but may even betray our whereabouts to the nobles."

"Many of our compatriots of non-human races here were betrayed by their neighbors and friends."

"Human beings are not to be trusted."

Regarding this question, Wayne felt that Toluwell's vision was too narrow, or his thinking was not broad enough. He reached out and took the whetstone in the hand of the elf, and pulled out the steel sword on his back. He polished it carefully by the campfire, and said in his mouth:

"In this case, there are actually many ways. Whether it is to transport it from a country that does not hate non-human races, or find a trustworthy businessman to help you prepare supplies, or simply control a puppet through threats and lures, it is a good way."

"Also, aren't there warlocks among the elves? You can entrust them to make a magic item that can conceal the characteristics of elves, and you can disguise yourself as humans and sneak into the town to do business."

"There are many ways to achieve something, it just depends on whether you think of it or not."

Looking at Toluwell's eyes that became a little brighter, Wayne smiled and said:
"I will be here during the period of cleaning up this ruins. If you have any questions that are undecided, I can refer to them for you."

The elf leader heard the words, smiled back at Wayne, stood up, pointed to the exit of the cave, and said:
"Thank you, Wayne. During this time, I will ask you a lot."

"I've also accepted your money. Let's go outside and look at those horses. You can pick any one you want."
