Before heading off to Maribo, Wayne took care of some chores at home and took Alex to his home.

Belencar will take him with him to open up wasteland in the backyard, prepare to build a small greenhouse in the future, plant various herbs, and hone the patience and physical strength of this little guy by doing farm work, and test the little guy by the way. Guy's character.

His body is too thin. Even if he wants to practice swordsmanship, it will take him a while to recuperate.

Wayne prepared all the supplies and equipment needed for the battle. As agreed, he came to Triss's home and set off with the sorceress to the entrusted location.

It has to be said that in this era without airplanes and cars, portal is really a good skill. It can travel hundreds of kilometers to another place in just tens of seconds.

Magic is indeed magic.

Let alone the Middle Ages, even in the interstellar age, the power of technology may not be able to achieve this.

Unfortunately, the feeling of traveling through the portal is really uncomfortable. Even though Wayne's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, he feels like vomiting.

On the contrary, Triss didn't seem to be weird at all, and said with a smile on her face:

"Welcome to my hometown, Wayne. Do you want me to take you around Maribo City first?"

"I know several restaurants with good food. I can take you to try them."

Wayne calmed down his physical discomfort, shook his head, and said:

"No, Triss, I like to deal with work first and then have fun, instead of having a burden on my heart."

Triss wrinkled her nose, snorted and said:

"Hmph, okay then. Since Mr. Demon Hunter is so dedicated, I will arrange for someone to take you to the crime scene now."

"After you find out any information, let me know."

"I haven't been home for several years and there are still things I need to deal with."

Wayne didn't have any objections to this. This was a work assignment that the two of them had discussed before. The more information they obtained before the battle, the easier it would be to change hands during the battle. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.

Work such as reasoning and investigating crimes has always been the specialty of demon hunters. Sorceresses do not do this. What they are best at is using large-scale magic to bomb others.

According to Keira, the beautiful Miss Triss is best at fire magic. She is born with an affinity for the fire element and can even summon burning meteorites falling from the sky to attack the enemy.

This Wayne knows very well that in the famous Battle of Sodden Mountain in the original book, Triss's rain of fire meteorites killed an unknown number of soldiers from Nilfgaard in the south, making her famous in one battle and becoming a famous figure famous in both the north and the south. Sorceress.

Although the red-haired beauty looked a little cute, she was still very efficient in doing things. She didn't let Wayne wait for long before she walked in with a middle-aged knight with a somewhat arrogant look.

"Wayne, this is the deputy captain of the Maribo City Guards, Knight Ramsay. He will lead twenty city guards to assist us in handling this incident."

"Knight Ramsay, Mr. Wayne, is the expert I invited to investigate the murderer of this incident. Please ask the soldiers to cooperate with him. The Duke of Maribo hopes that we will solve this matter as soon as possible."

Wayne had disguised himself as an ordinary human mercenary at this time. Although he was tall and strong, he still looked too young, like a handsome boy who had just grown up.

After Triss finished the introduction, the middle-aged knight's expression was still very arrogant. His cloudy eyes did not look at Wayne. He held his head high and his nostrils forward, as if he didn't care about anyone.

He said to Triss in a disdainful tone:

"A child, or a commoner?"

"Ms. Triss, so far, almost twenty people have died at the hands of the murderer. Until now, we cannot determine the identity and location of the murderer."

"To have this civilian involved in this case, with all due respect, is a slight disrespect to our capabilities."

Before Ramsay could say anything else, Wayne, who was standing opposite him, had already stretched out his right hand and quickly made an Axis Seal gesture in the air, and a faint light rushed into Ramsay's brain. , the expression of the middle-aged knight was stunned on the spot.

His eyes were dull and he didn't know where he was looking. He stood there blankly and had entered a hypnotic state.

With Wayne's current spell strength, not to mention ordinary demon hunters, even some real warlock apprentices are probably not as powerful as him.

Although the Yaksi Seal is called a trick by warlocks, Wayne can cast it almost instantly, and its power is quite good. It is much more practical than hypnosis spells that require chanting spells.

Seeing that Knight Ramsay was confused by Wayne's seal, he had entered a hypnotic state.

Triss covered her mouth in surprise and let out a soft sigh. She turned to look at Wayne, wondering what his purpose was.

Wayne shrugged, looked at the sorceress, and said:

"Triss, this guy looks like that kind of idiot knight who is both incompetent and arrogant. Rather than cooperate with such an idiot, I would rather act alone."

"Bringing this group of burdensome people together will not only fail to accomplish anything, but may even hinder me. If I get angry and kill them, you won't be able to answer to the Duke."

Upon hearing this, Triss glared at Wayne with some annoyance, then sighed, waved her hand and recited a spell. The Ramsay Knight was like a puppet, his eyes were dull, and he staggered away. in front of people.

It wasn't until he left completely that Triss complained softly:

"Wayne, even if you are not satisfied with him, you should discuss it with me first. Without the help of the city guard, you are not familiar with this place and it will be inconvenient to investigate."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Wayne already had an idea before driving Ramsay away, so he said directly:

"Don't your family own one-tenth of the shares in the mine? They must have someone familiar with the mine. Just find a civilian guide to show me the way."

"Anyway, in the forest, the bullshit authority of those city guards has no effect. The deer-headed spirit will not spare them just because of their identities."

"Not letting them participate and letting them kill a few people will also allow you to explain to the Duke better, right?"

Triss tilted her head and thought for more than ten seconds, then nodded helplessly and said:

"Okay, Wayne, do as you wish. The business of the mine seems to be managed by my nephew Will. I will ask him to arrange an obedient guide for you."

"But Wayne, after all, this world is ruled by nobles and royal families. You can't just exclude them. If you demon hunters want to live a better life, the thoughts of the nobles are also important."

"We cannot despise these mortals just because of the power we possess."

You yourself call them mortals, Wayne complained in his mind.

However, seeing Triss persuading him sincerely, he still nodded, looking like he accepted it humbly, and then said:

"Triss, I don't hate nobles, I just hate idiots."

"Like some enlightened and intelligent nobles, I am still willing to make friends with them."

Triss sighed slightly and said nothing more. After leaving, she quickly came to Wayne with a thin black-haired young man.

"Wayne, this gentleman's name is Allen. He is a hunter near the mine. He is very familiar with the forest environment. He has also worked in the mine. He should be able to serve as a guide for you."

After listening to Triss's introduction, the black-haired young man did not dare to look at the sorceress. He nodded to Wayne, bowed slightly and said:

"Master Wayne, just call me Allen. I'm familiar with the mine. I can show you the way wherever you want to go."

Seeing Allen's humble and cooperative attitude, Wayne nodded with satisfaction, turned to Triss and said:

"Triss, I'll leave first. I'll let you know if anything happens."

"Wait first."

Before Wayne could leave, Triss took out a red stone from her pocket, handed it to his hand, and said:

"This is a magic stone capable of short-distance communication. If you input chaos magic into it, you can contact me. However, its communication range is limited, so don't run too far."

"If you encounter special circumstances, please contact me immediately and I will provide you with support as soon as possible."

Please collect, recommend, and reward.
