Before leaving for Maribo, Wayne took care of some chores at home and brought Alex to his own home by the way.

Belengar will take him with him to reclaim the wasteland in the backyard, preparing to build a small greenhouse in the future, grow all kinds of herbs, and hone the patience and physical strength of the little guy by doing farm work, and test the character of the little guy by the way.

His body is too thin and weak, and even if he wants to practice swordsmanship, it will take him a while to get his body well.

Wayne, on the other hand, prepared all the supplies and equipment needed for the battle, and according to the agreement, came to Triss's house, and set off with the sorceress to the entrusted location.

I have to say that in this era when there are no planes and cars, the portal is really a good skill, which can cross hundreds of kilometers and come to another place in tens of seconds.

Magic is magic.

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

It's a pity that the feeling of passing through the portal is really quite uncomfortable, even if Wayne's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, there is a feeling of wanting to vomit.

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

"Welcome to my hometown, Wayne, do you need me to show you around Maribo City first?"

"I know of several restaurants that taste good, and I can take you to try them."

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

"No, Triss, I like to get my work done first and then have fun and not be burdened by it."

Triss wrinkled her nose and snorted:

"Hmph, that's okay, since Mr. Demon Hunter is so dedicated, then I'll arrange for someone to take you to the crime scene now."

"Wait until you find out what the news is, and then let me know."

"I haven't been home in years, and there are some things I need to take care of."

Wayne doesn't have any opinion on this, this is the work assignment that the two have discussed before, the more information they get before the battle, the more they can change hands during the battle, after all, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win a hundred battles.

And reasoning and investigating cases and other work has always been the specialty of witchers, and female warlocks don't know this, what they are best at is using large-scale magic to bombard others.

According to Kayla, the beautiful Miss Triss is best at fire magic, and she is naturally affinity for the fire element, and can even summon flaming meteorites that fall from the sky to attack enemies.

This Wayne knows that like the famous Battle of Soden in the original book, Triss's flaming meteorite rain killed many soldiers in the South Nilfgaard, making her famous in the first battle and becoming a famous sorceress in both the north and the south.

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

"Wayne, this is the deputy captain of the Maribo City Guards, the Rams Knight, and he will lead twenty City Guards to assist us in dealing with this incident."

"Knight Rams, this Mr. Wayne is an expert I invited to investigate the murderer of this incident, please let the soldiers cooperate with him, the Duke of Maribo wants us to solve this matter as soon as possible."

Wayne had already disguised himself as an ordinary human mercenary at this time, although he was tall and strong, he still looked too young, like a handsome teenager who had just come of age.

After Triss finished the introduction, the middle-aged knight's expression was still very arrogant, his cloudy eyes didn't look at Wayne, his head was held high, his nostrils rushed forward, and he looked like no one was looking at him.

He said to Triss in a disdainful tone:

"A child, or a civilian?"

"Ms. Triss, so far, almost twenty people have died at the hands of the murderer, and until now we have not been able to determine the identity and location of the murderer."

"With all due respect, involving this civilian in this case is nothing short of a contempt for our capabilities."

Before Rams could say anything more, Wayne, who was standing opposite him, had already stretched out his right hand and quickly made a gesture of the Yaksi Fa Seal in the air, and a glimmer of light rushed into Rams's brain, directly making the middle-aged knight's expression stunned on the spot.

His eyes were blank, he didn't know where he was looking, and he stood in place, already in a hypnotized state.

With Wayne's current spell strength, not to mention an ordinary witcher, even some real warlock apprentices are estimated to be not as strong as him.

Although the Yaksi Seal was called a little trick by the warlocks, Wayne could cast it almost instantaneously, and it was not badly powerful, and it was much more useful than those hypnots that required the chanting of spells.

Seeing that the Rams Knight was bewitched by Wayne's seal, he had already entered a state of hypnosis.

Triss covered her mouth in surprise and snorted, turning her head to look at Wayne, not knowing what he was doing it for.

Wayne shrugged his shoulders, looked at the sorceress, and said:

"Trise, this guy looks like an incompetent and arrogant fool knight, and I might as well go it alone rather than work with such a fool."

"With this group of burdens, not only will you not be able to succeed, but you may also hinder me, if you get my temper up and kill them, you will not be able to explain to the duke at that time."

Triss glared at Wayne with some disgust, then sighed and waved a spell, and the Rams knight staggered away from the two of them like a puppet, his eyes blank.

It wasn't until he had left completely that Triss whispered:

"Wayne, even if you are not satisfied with him, you should discuss it with me first, without the help of the city guards, you are not familiar with this place, and it is not convenient to investigate."

"And what are you going to do now?"

Wayne already had an idea before driving Rams away, so he spoke directly:

"Doesn't your family own a tenth of the mine? They must have someone who knows the mines, so just get a civilian guide to show me around. ”

"Anyway, when they get to the forest, the bullshit authority of those city guards has no effect, and the deer head spirit will not look at their identities and spare them."

"If you don't let them get involved, let them die a few fewer people, and it will also allow you to better account for that duke, won't it?"

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

"Alright, Wayne, just do what you want, the business of the mine seems to be managed by my nephew Will, and I will let him arrange an obedient guide for you."

"But Wayne, after all, this world is ruled by nobles and royals, you can't blindly exclude them, you demon hunters want to live better, and the thoughts of the aristocratic class are also very important."

"We can't despise these mortals because of the power we have."

You call them mortals yourself, Wayne complained to himself.

However, seeing that Triss was so sincere in persuading himself, he still nodded, and accepted it with an open heart, and then said:

"Triss, it's not that I hate nobles, I'm just stupid."

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

Triss sighed slightly, didn't say anything more, and after leaving, she soon came to Wayne's side with a slightly 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 environment of the forest, he has also worked in the mine, and should be able to work as a guide for you."

After listening to Triss's introduction, the black-haired young man didn't dare to look at the sorceress, he nodded at Wayne, saluted slightly, and said:

"Lord Wayne, just call me Alan, I'm familiar with the mine, and I can show you where you want to go."

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

"Triss, then I'll go first, and I'll let you know what's going on."

"Wait."

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

"This is a philosopher's stone that can communicate over short distances, and if you input chaos magic into it, you can contact me, but its communication range is limited, so you shouldn't run too far."

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