Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 50
The manual is quite detailed. It not only records the area, location and price of the house quite clearly, but also draws the simple house structure with lines, which can be described as thoughtful.

Wayne looked at it, and suddenly found that the price of a house was quite low, only about a third of that of other houses of the same level. The area was large and the location was quite remote, which was quite in line with his wishes.

So he asked:
"Mr. Peter, I don't know what is the situation of this house? Why is its price much cheaper than other houses."

"Well, where is it?"

Hearing this, Peter looked towards the place Wayne pointed to, and then his expression changed, revealing some hesitation.

He raised his head and saw that Wayne seemed to be really interested. After thinking about it, he still didn't want to offend this client. After all, many people knew about it, and he couldn't hide it, so he said:
"Mr. Wayne, to be honest, there are some problems with this house."

"Prior to this, it has had two buyers, but various accidents always occurred during their living."

"For example, having nightmares at night, always tripping for no reason, objects falling from high places and hurting them, etc. In the end, the buyers all ran to the city hall to make trouble, and everyone knew that there were problems with this house."

"In order to reduce the adverse impact of this incident, the council has repossessed the house and hopes to deal with it at a low price."

Then, Peter looked at his face and added:

"Of course, as a price for the low price, the buyer must sign a contract with the city hall. After the purchase, there is no way to go back on it."

Listening to the description of administrative officer Peter, Wayne's first reaction was that ghosts, little earth spirits or curses were causing trouble.

Of course, there are tens of thousands of monsters in this world, as well as all kinds of ghosts and demons. Even a demon hunter cannot recognize them all, and there may be other reasons.

But no matter what, if it's just a small problem, with his ability as a demon hunter, he can completely solve it. Not only can he save a lot of money, but he can also get an ideal house, which is a double win.

Although it was stated in the manual that the price of this house was only [-] Oren, for the sake of safety, Wayne decided to conduct a secret investigation first to see if he could solve it before deciding whether to complete the transaction.

Later, he and political officer Peter exchanged information on some other houses, but most of them were expensive and not very cost-effective.

These newly built houses are all prepared for the rich merchants, nobles or powerful people. Most of them are large in size and luxuriously decorated, which cannot be afforded by ordinary civilians.

Peter was also impatient for performance. Seeing that Wayne's temperament was not like those of ordinary people, and he looked like a man who was not short of money, he was so patient and explained so much to him.

"That's all for today. Thank you, Mr. Peter, for explaining it to me in such detail."

"I will carefully consider it in the next two days. After I make a decision, I will come to the city hall to look for you. At that time, I will ask Mr. Peter to help us with this procedure in person."

There are several administrative officials in the city hall, and whoever sells the house and land will be considered as his performance.

Seeing Wayne being so upbeat, Peter nodded in satisfaction, and sent him to the gate of the city hall very friendly.

Seeing that Wayne had a happy conversation with the political officer in the city hall, the two guards at the door did not dare to continue to embarrass him, and obediently returned his weapon.

After taking back his steel sword, Wayne looked at the sky. It was almost the time agreed with Geralt. Instead of running around, he wandered around the streets near the entrance of the city hall.

After waiting for about half an hour, I finally saw Geralt and Dandelion walking in his direction with drunken faces, shoulder to shoulder, followed by the mare carrot and the little donkey.

Judging by their appearance, I don't know whether they went to a tavern to drink, or they drank with a woman.

After the three met, Dandelion laughed, held Wayne's arm rather mysteriously, and whispered:

"Hey, Wayne, it's really a big loss for you not to play with us."

"We first went to a tavern to drink, and then we met a noble baron while playing Gwent."

"He lost to Geralt at cards, more than 100 Oren, and then took us to a private club for a bet."

"It's called the Queen of the Night, and the girls there, oh! All of them are top-notch, no matter their figure or beauty, they are hard to see outside."

"However, the consumption inside is too expensive. Just this afternoon, we spent at least two hundred oren."

Two hundred orens, a tenth of a house.

Wayne was a little speechless when he heard that. Dandelion is simply a bad friend. This afternoon, he spent almost all of Geralt's hard-earned wages.

Looking at Geralt's unsatisfactory expression, Wayne couldn't say anything.

The two of them think it's worth it, and enjoying themselves in time is also an attitude towards life.

As for Queen of the Night, Wayne, who has played the game, knows very well that the owner of this brothel is Geralt's friend in the future, Regis' old lover, and also a high-level vampire, and many of the girls in Queen of the Night are vampires, who have the ability to charm humans. No wonder Dandelion can't forget it so much.

After a brief chat, Wayne took the two of them to the Fox Tavern in Old York and had dinner at his hotel.

The food they ate was the big wild boar brought back from the abandoned farm. Wayne cooked it specially and used a lot of wild boar to make a big meal of hot pot and barbecue.

He invited all the people he knew to enjoy it, and everyone ate with greasiness in their mouths, and they were hooked. He also specially called the thin young Alex.

For this orphan who has lost his relatives, he is going to observe and see his character. If this child understands what is gratitude and what is loyalty, Wayne will spend some time cultivating him.

And after dinner, while they were chatting, Wayne also told Geralt about his decision.

"Geralt, I plan to stay in Vizima this year to accept the commission, and return to Kaer Morhan in winter."

Geralt, who was originally drunk, was taken aback when he heard the words. A puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he asked:
"Why did you make this decision, Wayne?"

Wayne was very calm and said rationally:

"I have a lot to learn, Geralt, so I want to start my practice in Vizima, a place that is relatively safe, has many commissions, and has to deal with various people."

"Here, not only can I exercise my various abilities as a demon hunter, but it can also allow me to learn how to survive in this world and how to get along with people of various races."

Geralt nodded when he heard that, then silently picked up his glass and took another sip of the spirits.

To be honest, he would rather let Wayne follow him and carry out those demon hunting commissions in the countryside and wilderness than let this young apprentice stay in a complicated place like Vizima.

But the two or three years of getting along with him let Geralt know that Wayne is a sensible and intelligent young man, he always has his own plan, and his fighting power is not much lower than that of ordinary witchers.

As a companion, he couldn't interfere too much with Wayne's life, nor would he treat Wayne as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child.

There was silence on the wine table for about a minute, just when Dandelion was about to tell a few jokes to ease the atmosphere.

Geralt let out a soft breath and said:

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, Wayne, just do what you want."

"I will also stay here for a month or two. When I am sure that you can adapt to life here, I will leave and look for commissions elsewhere."
