Katheryne will tell you about a blond stranger wearing unusual clothes who just arrived recently. After your discussion about the description of the stranger, she will then, tell you to ask Lawrence to know more.

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

Wagner tells you that the blond stranger had indeed stopped by, but only to ask him about materials he's unfamiliar of. After brief discussion about the matter, he then redirects you the Tavern.

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.

Go to the Second Floor of the Tavern

On Charles' suggestion, go to the second floor and seat by the railing to get a good view of the incoming patrons. Eventually, Paimon will tell you that the stranger has come. Go to the first floor of the tavern and find the stranger.
