They are not getting work in Upper Posada. Geralt refuses to work for the local’s tales of superstition because his job was to kill monsters, not for superstitions.
When they were moving on to Lower Posada, a local carter named Nettly overtook them and promises that there is work for all of them. One older person named Dhun tells about “Devol,” who was a problem for the town, but anyhow and under any circumstances, he does not want Devol (a creature) to be killed.
When Geralt and Dandelion confront the “Deovel,” they find that the creature resembles a goat walking on two legs. Some words of Dandelion provoke the devil Devol to hurl iron balls and drive them away.

Geralt realizes he can use the djinn’s wishes, and he uses his last wish to save Yennefer. Their fates are bound together. This is the beginning of a stormy relationship.
The Voice of Reason (Głos rozsądku)- In this part, Geralt and Dandelion finally leave the temple, but Falwick and Tailles, and soldiers stop them. Dennis Cranmer and the dwarf captain of the prince’s guard were also with them.
The knights outline Geralt, and the situation is unwinnable for him. They told him that he must accept Tailles’ first challenge but can not harm Tailles, or else he’ll be killed.
Geralt accepts the challenge but creates a situation in which, Tailles’s own blade bashes him in the face. He saves himself from the punishment as he did not harm Tailles to win the challenge. Then Dennis permits Geralt to leave and hopes to meet Geralt again in the future.
Falwick is not happy with this, and Geralt asks if the knight is ready to accept a challenge from Geralt or find some similar way to avoid it. Falwick remains silent, and Geralt congratulates him for listening to “the voice of reason.”
