Chapter 49 Buying a House in the Middle Ages
Half an hour later, Wayne sent Keyernst to the Fox Tavern, where he could recuperate.
He washed the blood off his body, changed into clean clothes, and rode to the city hall in the center of the city.
And the reason why he came here is because Wayne, after thinking twice, intends to settle in Virgin City for a while and buy a property to use as a permanent base for his daily activities here.
As for why he has this idea, in addition to the love for the land engraved in the bones of the Chinese people, or 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 ancillary skills, you need a stable environment to slowly level up.
This is something he has known in the more than a month that he has accompanied Geralt on his travels.
The vast majority of the month or so was wasted on the road, completely lacking the efficiency of upskilling in Kylemohan.
Putting aside the factors of strength, Vigema is building a new city at this time, the price of land is quite cheap, and in the next twenty years, the city will be quite safe and prosperous, and the land appreciation space is quite large.
It just so happens that he now has some extra money to invest in the land here, and he will definitely get a good return in the future.
Moreover, there are all kinds of talents in Vigema City, which is very conducive to him to learn and improve various skills and increase his strength.
After all, as a modern-minded witcher, he hopes to become a respectable, wealthy and powerful figure in the future.
Instead of being like Geralt and the rest of his companions, who had been mixed up for dozens or hundreds of years, they ended up poor and destitute, and even needed to clean the sewers to earn some money for themselves.
And the new Virginma, which is about to be built, is a very good entry point.
However, before he could enter the town hall, his temperament, which was very different from that of ordinary residents, was stopped by two guards at the door.
"Who are you? This is the Vigema Town Hall, and if you want to enter here, you can't bring weapons. ”
When Wayne heard this, he looked at the steel sword on his waist, he was here to do errands, and he didn't want to make trouble, so he obediently untied the steel sword on his waist and said:
"I'm here to buy the land at the city hall, two gentlemen, I don't know what kind of process it is?"
A guard with a scar on his face didn't answer Wayne's question, but looked at his amber cat eyes with a suspicious gaze and asked:
"What's going on with your eyes? Why is this the case? ”
Wayne glanced at him, thought about it, and would live here for a long time in the future anyway, and did not hide it, and opened his mouth to explain:
"Don't worry, gentlemen."
"I'm a witcher, a witcher who helps others deal with all kinds of monsters."
"However, this time I came to the city hall not to look for a commission, but to get down to business."
Hearing Wayne claim to be a witcher, the Scar Guard was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and his face involuntarily showed a look of disgust.
However, there is no rule in the town hall that prohibits witchers from entering, and the mayor is now having a headache to raise funds.
He turned his head to look at his companion, then spat on the ground with an unhappy expression, and said to Wayne:
"I know you mutants, I've heard that you're all thieves, human traffickers, who specialize in stealing children and then transforming them into monsters like you."
"I'll keep an eye on you, witcher, and if you dare to cause trouble here, just wait to go to the gallows."
Hearing this deep-seated contempt for witchers again, Wayne was also a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't want to worry about the two little minions in front of him, so he calmly handed over his weapon and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Two Guardsmen, I'm a good law-abiding person, and now I even want to pay for the new Virgema, your mayor will definitely like me more than you."
Getting rid of two guards who clearly hated witchers, Wayne sighed inwardly.
He knew very well that a large part of the reason why the demon hunters now had such notoriety was because there were fewer and fewer monsters in the world, and the warlocks and human high-level leaders began to fear them, super soldiers whose combat power far exceeded that of ordinary people.
The folks listen to rumors, but at the same time, they are afraid of the unknown, and they are naturally wary of these demon hunters, who are clearly different from humans.
So Wayne stayed in Virginma for another purpose, which was to help King Foltest lift his daughter's curse and gain the friendship of this king, so as to change the prejudice of the people of this country against witchers from top to bottom.
This is a very good opportunity.
Because King Foltest is also a different king, he is controversial because he married his sister and had children, so he is more able to understand witchers in similar situations.
After entering the town hall, a middle-aged man who looked polite greeted him, and he looked at Wayne for a few seconds, although he also looked surprised, but then behaved quite politely.
"Sir, may I ask you to come to the city hall, do you have anything to deal with?"
In the face of such a polite person, Wayne also showed a kind smile.
In fact, if you don't wear the unique costume of a witcher, except for the cat's pupils and the pointed ears of the elves, Wayne is not much different from ordinary people, and his appearance can even be called quite handsome.
"I heard that there is land for sale at the city hall, and 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 Administrator in charge of the sale of land, Peter. Cross. ”
"Can you tell me, your name?"
Wayne reached out and shook him, and said with a smile:
"You're welcome, Mr. Peter, just call me Wayne."
After the two had introduced each other, Administrator Peter led Wayne into a room and handed him a booklet full of various price tags.
In the center of the room, there is a huge map resembling a sandbox, which is divided into a dozen different areas by lines, and each area is numbered.
Pointing to the map in the center of the room, Administrator Peter introduced to Wayne:
"Mr. Wayne, this is a simple map of New Virgin City, and 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 only a preliminary intention, when you have a rough choice, we will also send someone to accompany you to the field for inspection, and then according to the specific situation."
The administrative officer, Peter, gushed about the introduction, with that 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 soon as possible, our mayor, Mr. Verellad, has decided to give a discount on the land that is now available, and if you buy it now, you will be able to enjoy a certain discount."
This political officer Peter has a very sharp mouth, and Wayne is looking through the manual in his hand while listening to his introduction, and he has the feeling of entering a real estate agency and being fooled by a real estate salesperson.
And flipping through it, Wayne suddenly found that in the second half of the manual, there were actually some houses that had been built that could be sold directly, which surprised him a little.
To be honest, instead of buying a piece of land, spending time looking for workers, designers, buying materials, and building a house in a mess, he prefers to buy a finished product directly and be able to move in directly.
Anyway, every year he would return to Kelmohan Castle in the winter with Geralt and the others, and sometimes he would go on missions to other countries.
The house was only used by him as a stronghold, not a warm home to live in for a long time.
After discovering that Wayne's attention was on the finished houses, the expression on the face of Administrative Officer Peter became even more excited.
Compared to bare land, these finished houses for sale are obviously more expensive and can collect more money.
It's about their performance in the construction of the new city, and it will affect their salaries and future promotions.
Seeing this, Peter picked up a copy of the same manual and began to show Wayne the situation of each finished house in detail against the large map in the room.
Because Wayne's attitude made Peter feel that this was a big customer, and maybe it could bring him a lot of money, quite a good income.
