Ask Lawrence About the Stranger

Lawrence is the guard stationed by the city gate. He will tell you that he'd been tailing the stranger for awhile, until he's lost sight of him and gave up. Lawrence will then tell you to ask Wagner, the Blacksmith, as he'd also seen the stranger stop by his smithy.

Ask Wagner About the Stranger

Ask Charles About the Stranger

Finally, Charles will tell you that the Stranger, as per Diluc's words, is quite the connoisseur. He advises you to wait on the second floor, as he's expecting for the stranger to stop by again that night.
