Wayne pondered for a few seconds and felt that this method would not only take two months and cost more money, but would also make him owe Revarden a favor in the end. It was really not worth it and could only be used as a last resort.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Revarden, but I would like to go to the market first to see if there are any forging materials I need."

"I'll come back to bother you again if I need anything later."

Revarden nodded kindly, indicating that he didn't mind. He turned the gem ring on his index finger with his thumb, thought for a moment, and then suddenly smiled and said, "But Wayne, I did hear a piece of gossip."

"Five days later, Ms. Keira Metz, Temeria's royal advisor, plans to host a birthday party at her home."

"This beautiful sorcerer lady is very fond of fine wine and jewelry. She has extensive connections and is quite wealthy. Perhaps in her wine cabinet, there are one or two bottles of fine wine that you need, Dongzhidong."

"If you want to give her a try, I can get you an invitation to her birthday party."

"Well, are you interested?"

Keira Metz, when Wayne heard this name, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that this was the sorceress in the future who might become a barbecue in Novigrad.

All he knew about Keira was a few missions in The Witcher 3.

Judging from her performance in the game, this sorceress has a good heart, is the kind of spellcaster who likes luxury and romance, and has a simple mind.

Compared to her fellow sorceresses who were good at scheming, Keira's skills were still too shallow, and in the end she was tricked and almost died at the hands of ordinary people.

If she really has Dong Zhi Dong in her hands, maybe she can exchange it for a bottle from her through exchange of interests.

After receiving this unexpected news, Wayne once again expressed his gratitude to Revarden, but did not say much.

The sorceress was a symbol of trouble, and he had no connection with Kayla, so even if he could get in touch with her, he might not be able to achieve his goal.

Therefore, this plan can only be considered as a backup plan.

After saying goodbye to Revarden, Wayne left the Kingfisher Inn. He found the dwarf Andrew again. After making an appointment with the young dwarf to have a drink together in the evening, he began to ask about the news of other blacksmith shops in the city of Vizima.

Only colleagues know each other best. For a layman like Wayne, it is undoubtedly very difficult to find those three rare materials in such a big city.

He could only hope that this new dwarf blacksmith friend of his could provide him with some information.

Unfortunately, the news he got from Andrew also made him quite disappointed.

"I'm sorry, my friend. Anti-magic metal, commonly known as retardinium, is a material that is often available in blacksmith shops or stores."

"But materials like meteorite iron and moon dust are both extremely rare and hard to come by. They are worth at least a few hundred orens. It is impossible for a blacksmith shop to have these materials on hand."

"Even if people want them, they need to order them one or two months in advance, and whether they can buy them in the end depends on luck."

Seeing Wayne frown, the young dwarf scratched his chin and said, "But I heard that some warlocks can use these two materials to make magical equipment. Maybe you can ask them."

Wayne was quite helpless after getting the same result.

Sure enough, judging from the current situation, the warlocks control a large amount of high-level resources. As the most powerful organization that has dominated the northern magic field for thousands of years, the Warlock Brotherhood is a huge mountain that many people cannot get around.

Wayne did not give up throughout the afternoon and kept going around the shops in Vizima, but unfortunately he still found nothing.

In the end, he had no choice but to accompany Andrew to have a good drink at the Kingfisher Tavern, and then went home to rest reluctantly.

The old city of Vizima is, after all, just an inland city. In the past, it was too small and too dilapidated to be considered prosperous. Merchants coming here were not as frequent as in the capitals of other kingdoms, which led to the shortage of various supplies.

If it were the legendary free city of Lovegray, I'm afraid these materials could be gathered quickly.

Since he couldn't buy it on the market and Wayne didn't want to wait for two months, he finally decided to adopt a backup plan and contact the warlock in the city.

According to the information he had gathered, there were currently three royal advisers assisting King Foltest, namely Keramez, Triss Merigold and Fecat.

Two sorceresses and one sorcerer.

Wayne, who has played the game and read the novel, has some understanding of Keira and Triss.

But what Wayne remembered most about the warlock Fecart was that he was a minor role. In the future incident on Seni Island, he defected to the southern Nilfgaard Empire and to Brother Wei, and then died like a minor role.

After much consideration, Wayne decided to start with Keira. Whether he obtained the East of the East from her or obtained meteorite iron and moon dust through her channels, it would be a good result.

Moreover, Wayne actually had another idea in his mind.

The matter of the vampire bird in the city has gradually fermented and has become the most troublesome problem for King Foltest.

As a demon hunter, Wayne did not intend to appear in front of King Foltest, nor did he intend to accept this commission.

Things that are easy to get are always cheap and not cherished.

But if he became associated with the royal advisors in Temeria, someday, when the trouble got too serious, the sorceresses would present him to the king.

At that time, he could adopt the strategy of playing hard to get and wait for Foltest to invite him.

Only in this way, his kindness will not seem so cheap and will not be doubted by others.

Thinking of this, Wayne took out paper and pen and began to write a sincere visiting letter.

He also didn't plan to ask Revarden for an invitation to the birthday party because that would be too passive and too conspicuous.

Demon hunters should not be too high-profile, otherwise it will easily arouse hostility from some people.

He planned to contact Keira privately first, hoping that the title of witcher could attract the interest of this sorceress.

………………

That night, Keira returned to her residence from the palace.

During this period, not only the City Hall, but the entire Kingdom of Temeria was in a very busy state because of the construction of the new city.

As royal advisers assisting the kingdom, she and Triss were certainly not spared.

Not only does she have to help the king with government affairs, but she also has to set up various magical defense facilities in the newly built palace and deal with supernatural events that occur in various places. It can be said that she is extremely busy.

However, Kayla enjoyed this kind of busyness. She was the kind of woman who loved luxury, power and being respected by others.

Although she had only been a royal advisor for a few years, compared with the boring study life in Aretuza College, the feeling of being the center of attention and having power made Keira feel that her hard work over the past few decades had finally paid off.

"Lord Keira, someone sent a visiting letter today. Would you like to take a look?"

Hearing the maid's question, Keira lay in the bathtub sprinkled with rose petals, letting the warm spring water flow slowly over her smooth skin. She stretched and asked lazily, "Whose letter is it, Maisie?"

"If it belongs to a businessman or a wealthy citizen, don't give it to me."

"Anyway, they are just some greedy and stupid guys who don't know their place and want to get a piece of the action in New Vizima."

The maid named Maisie looked at the envelope and hesitated for a second or two before saying, "It was sent by a handsome man, but the signature on the envelope is strange: Demon Hunter Wayne."

"Lord Keira, does the legendary demon hunter really exist?"

"Would those guys really steal little kids and then kill them?"

Keira was stunned for a second or two after hearing this, then sneered and said, "Demon Hunter, that's really rare."

"Also, Maisie, don't believe those stupid rumors in the market."

"Ordinary people like you can live safely outside the city instead of being eaten by monsters, thanks to the contributions of these demon hunters."

"Hmm, interesting. Show me the letter."

"Even I have only read about demon hunters in books. They are said to be a group of swordsmen who know some magic tricks but have undergone physical mutations."

At this point, Kayla licked her lips subconsciously and asked, "By the way, you said he was a handsome man. Does he look strong?"
