Half an hour later, Wayne sent Keynster to the Fox Tavern and let him rest there for a while.

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

The reason why he came here was that after much consideration, Wayne decided to temporarily settle down in the city of Vizima and buy a property as a fixed base for his daily activities here.

As for why he had this idea, in addition to the love for the land that is 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 demon hunter level, the most powerful ability is the ability to enhance his various skills.

Whether it is swordsmanship, alchemy, or other auxiliary skills, they all require a stable environment to slowly improve their levels.

This was something he had deeply experienced during the more than one month he accompanied Geralt on his journey.

Most of the time in the past month was wasted on traveling, and there was no efficiency in improving skills like in Kaer Morhen.

Putting aside the factor of improving strength, Vizima is currently building a new city and the land price is quite cheap. In the next twenty years, this city will be quite safe and increasingly prosperous, and there is considerable room for land appreciation.

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

Moreover, there are all kinds of talents in the city of Vizima, which is very conducive to him learning and improving various skills and increasing his strength.

After all, as a demon hunter with modern ideas, he hopes to become a respected, wealthy and powerful man in the future.

Instead of being like Geralt and his other companions, who have been struggling for decades or even hundreds of years, but are still penniless and destitute in the end, and even need to earn some money for food by cleaning sewers.

The new Vizima, which is about to be built, is a very good entry point.

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

"Who are you? This is Vizima City Hall. You cannot bring weapons to enter here."

Wayne heard this and looked at the steel sword on his waist. He came here to do business and didn't want to cause any trouble, so he took off the steel sword on his waist and said, "I'm here to buy land at the City Hall. Gentlemen, what is the process?"

A guard with a scar on his face did not answer Wayne's question. Instead, he looked at his amber cat eyes with suspicion and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes? Why are they like this?"

Wayne glanced at him, thought about it, and since he would be living here for quite a long time anyway, he did not hide it and explained:

"Don't worry, gentlemen."

"I am a demon hunter, a demon hunter who helps others deal with various monsters."

"However, I came to the City Hall this time not to look for a commission, but to do business."

When the Scar Guard heard Wayne claiming to be a demon hunter, he was stunned at first, then seemed to think of something, and an expression of disgust involuntarily appeared on his face.

However, the city hall does not have a rule prohibiting witchers from entering, and now the mayor is having a headache trying to raise funds.

He turned around and looked at his companion, then spat on the ground with an unhappy look on his face and said to Wayne:

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

"I'll keep an eye on you, witcher. If you dare to cause trouble here, you'll be hanged."

Wayne was a little annoyed to hear such deep-rooted contempt for demon hunters again. However, he did not want to argue with the two small guards in front of him. He just handed over his weapon calmly and said:

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

After getting rid of two guards who obviously hated demon hunters, Wayne sighed in his heart.

He knew very well that a big part of the reason why demon hunters had such a bad reputation now was because there were fewer and fewer monsters in the world, and warlocks and human leaders began to fear these super warriors whose combat power far exceeded that of ordinary people.

The ignorant people in the society believed the rumors and were also afraid of the unknown, so they were naturally wary of demon hunters like them who were obviously different from humans.

So Wayne had another purpose for staying in Vizima, which was to help King Foltest lift the curse on his daughter and gain the king's friendship, so as to change the prejudice of the people of this country against witchers from top to bottom.

Because King Foltest is also a unique king. He has been controversial because he married his sister and had children with her, so he can better understand the witcher who is in a similar situation.

After entering the city hall, a middle-aged man who looked gentle and refined came up to him. He looked at Wayne for a few seconds. Although he also looked surprised, he then behaved quite politely.

"Sir, may I ask what brings you to the City Hall?"

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

In fact, if Wayne didn't wear the unique costume of a demon hunter, except for the cat eyes and the pointed ears of an elf, there was not much difference between him and an ordinary person. He could even be considered quite handsome.

“I heard that the city hall had land for sale, so I came here to buy some.”

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

"Sir, I am the government official in charge of selling land, Peter Cross."

"Can you tell me your name?"

Wayne stretched out his hand and shook his hand, then said with a smile, "You're welcome, Mr. Peter. Just call me Wayne."

After the two introduced themselves to each other, Political Officer Peter took 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 more than a dozen different areas with lines, and each area is marked with a number.

Administrative Officer Peter pointed to the map in the middle of the room and introduced it to Wayne: "Mr. Wayne, this is a simple map of New Vizima City. We have marked different prices according to different areas."

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

"Of course, this is just a preliminary intention. Once you have made a rough choice, we will send someone to accompany you to conduct an on-site inspection and then make a decision based on the specific situation."

Political Officer Peter introduced himself nonstop with a professional smile on his face.

"I have to say, you're lucky to have come at the right time, Mr. Wayne."

"In order to raise funds for the construction of the new city as quickly as possible, our mayor, Mr. Virelard, has decided to offer a discount on the current land. If you purchase it now, you will be able to enjoy certain benefits."

This political officer Peter was a very eloquent talker. Wayne flipped through the manual in his hand while listening to his introduction. He felt like he had entered a real estate agency and was being fooled by a real estate salesperson.

As he was flipping through the manual, Wayne suddenly discovered that in the second half of the manual, there were some houses that had already been built and could be sold directly, which surprised him.

To be honest, compared to buying a piece of land, spending time looking for workers, designers, buying materials, and building a house in a messy way, he would rather buy a finished product that can be moved into directly.

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

He only used this house as a base, not a warm home where he could live permanently.

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

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

This concerns their performance in the new city construction event and affects their salary and future promotions.

Seeing this, Peter also picked up a similar manual and began to carefully compare the large map in the room to introduce the conditions of each finished house to Wayne.

Because Wayne's attitude made Peter feel that this was a big customer, who might be able to bring him a considerable profit.
