Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 49 Buying a House in the Middle Ages

Half an hour later, Wayne sent Keynster to the Fox Tavern, where he was temporarily recuperated.

He washed off the blood on his body, changed into clean clothes, and rode to the city hall in the center of the city.

The reason why he came here was because Wayne planned to temporarily settle in Vizima City after careful consideration and buy a property as a fixed base for his daily activities here.

As for the reason for this idea, besides the love for the land engraved in the bones of the Chinese people, it is also because of his demon hunter system. In addition to completing tasks and improving the level of the demon hunter, the most powerful ability is the ability to bless his various skills.

Whether it's swordsmanship, alchemy, or other subsidiary skills, you need a stable environment to slowly increase your level.

This point, he had a deep understanding of it during the more than a month of traveling with Geralt.

Most of the time in the past month or so was wasted on the road, and he didn't have the efficiency of improving skills when he was in Kaer Morhen.

Leaving aside the factors of improving strength, Vizima is building a new city at this time, and the land price is quite cheap. In the next 20 years, this city will be quite safe and more and more prosperous, and there is quite a lot of room for land appreciation.

It just so happens that he now has some extra money to invest in the land here, and he will definitely get rich returns in the future.

Moreover, there are all kinds of talents in Vizima City, which is very beneficial for him to learn and improve various skills and increase his own strength.

After all, as a modern-minded witcher, he hopes that he can become a respected, rich and powerful figure in the future.

Rather than being like Geralt and other companions, who have been around for dozens or hundreds of years, they are still poor and destitute in the end, and they even need to clean up the sewers to earn some food for themselves.

The upcoming New Vizima is a very good starting point.

However, before he entered the city hall, his temperament was very different from that of ordinary residents, and he was stopped by two guards at the door.

"Who are you? This is the Vizima City Hall. If you want to enter here, you cannot carry weapons."

Hearing this, Wayne looked at the steel sword on his waist. He came here for business and didn't want to cause trouble, so he obediently untied the steel sword on his waist and said:
"I came to the city hall to buy the land, gentlemen, what kind of process is it?"

A guard with a scar on his face didn't answer Wayne's question, but looked at his amber cat eyes suspiciously, and asked:
"What's the matter with your eyes? Why are they like this?"

Wayne glanced at him and thought about it. Anyway, he will live here for a long time in the future, and he didn't hide it. He explained:

"Don't worry, gentlemen."

"I am a demon hunter, a demon hunter responsible for helping others deal with various monsters."

"However, this time I came to the city hall not to find a commission, but to do business."

Hearing that Wayne claimed to be a witcher, the scar guard was taken aback for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, with an involuntary look of disgust on his face.

However, the city hall did not have a regulation prohibiting the entry of witchers, and now the mayor is having a headache in order to raise funds.

He turned his head and glanced at his companion, then spit on the ground with an uneasy face, and said to Wayne:

"I know you mutants. I heard that you are all thieves and human traffickers who specialize in stealing children and transforming them into monsters like you."

"I'll keep an eye on you, witcher. If you dare to cause trouble here, just wait for the gallows."

Hearing this deep-rooted disdain for demon hunters again made Wayne feel a little annoyed. However, he didn't want to argue with the two little guards in front of him, so he calmly handed over his weapon and said:

"Don't worry, two guardsmen, I am a good man who abides by the law, and now I even want to pay for New Vizima. Your mayor must like me more than you."

After getting rid of the two guards who obviously hated the witcher, Wayne sighed inwardly.

He is very clear that a large part of the reason why demon hunters have such a bad reputation is that there are fewer and fewer monsters in the world, and warlocks and high-level human beings are beginning to fear them, super fighters whose combat power is far superior to ordinary people.

Fools among the people listen to rumors, and at the same time they are afraid of the unknown. They are naturally wary of demon hunters who are clearly different from humans.

Therefore, Wayne's stay in Vizima has another purpose, which is to help King Foltest lift his daughter's curse and gain the king's friendship, so as to change people's prejudice against demon hunters in this country from top to bottom.

This is a very good opportunity.

Because King Foltest is also a different king. Because he married his sister and had children, he has been controversial in the world, so he can better understand demon hunters who are in similar situations.

After entering the city hall, a well-mannered middle-aged man greeted him. He sized up Wayne for a few seconds, and although he also showed surprise on his face, he acted quite politely afterwards.

"Sir, may I ask you to come to the city hall, is there anything you need to deal with?"

Facing such a polite person, Wayne also showed a kind smile.

In fact, if he didn't wear the witcher's unique costume, except for the cat pupils and elf's pointy ears, Wayne was not much different from ordinary people, and his appearance could even be called quite handsome.

"I heard that the city hall has land for sale. I came here to buy the land."

After hearing Wayne's purpose, the middle-aged man's expression became more enthusiastic. He stretched out his left hand to Wayne and said with a smile:

"Sir, I am the political officer in charge of selling land, Peter Cross."

"Can you tell me your name?"

Wayne reached out and shook his hand, and said with a smile:
"You're welcome, Mr. Peter, just call me Wayne."

After the two introduced each other, Peter, the administrative officer, brought Wayne into a room and handed him a manual filled with various price tags.

In the center of the room, there is a huge map similar to a sand table. The map is divided into a dozen different areas with lines, and each area is numbered.

Administrative officer Peter introduced to Wayne while pointing to the map in the center of the room:
"Mr. Wayne, this is a simple map of New Vizima City. We have marked different prices according to different regions."

“You can choose to buy land in these areas, and the bigger you buy, the better the price.”

"Of course, this is only a preliminary intention. When you have a general choice, we will send someone to accompany you to conduct field inspections, and then according to the specific situation."

The political officer Peter introduced it incessantly, with a professional smile on his face.

"I have to say that you are very lucky to come at just the right time, Mr. Wayne."

"In order to raise funds for the construction of the new city as soon as possible, our mayor, Mr. Virelad, decided to discount the current land. If you buy it now, you can enjoy certain discounts."

Peter, the political officer, was very eloquent. While flipping through the manual in his hand, Wayne listened to his introduction. He had the feeling of entering a real estate agency and being fooled by a real estate salesman.

Flipping through the pages, Wayne suddenly discovered that in the second half of the manual, there were actually some completed houses that could be sold directly, which surprised him a bit.

To be honest, compared to buying a piece of land, spending time looking for workers, designers, buying materials, and building a house in a mess, he prefers to directly buy a finished product that can be directly lived in.

Anyway, he would return to Kaer Morhen Castle every year with Geralt and the others, and sometimes he would go to other countries to perform missions.

This house is only used by him as a stronghold, not a warm home for a long time.

After discovering that Wayne's attention was on the finished houses, the expression of Administrative Officer Peter became even more excited.

Compared with bare land, these finished houses for sale are obviously more expensive and can collect more funds.

This is related to their performance in the event of building a new city, affecting their salary and future promotion.

Seeing this situation, Peter also picked up the same manual and began to compare the large map in the room in detail, introducing the situation of each finished house to Wayne.

Because of Wayne's attitude, Peter felt that this was a big client, and it might bring him a pretty good profit.
