Chapter 119 Mirror Master Helps You Reshape Your Three Perspectives
Why do these people bother to knock on the windows and doors outside their rooms, even though they have entered their own territory or even their own homes without anyone noticing?
"Please come in." Lann rubbed his temples with a headache and shouted loudly.
A polite and magnetic voice came into Lann's ears while opening the door. This was a good singing voice: "I came uninvited. I
hope I didn't disturb you, Lann."
There was no Tayue coming before, Without the Void Choir that penetrated his soul, he just walked in like no one else, carried the chair on the other side of the room to Lan En's desk with both hands, and sat on the opposite side of him calmly.
If you ignore this still time, he is really just like an ordinary businessman who was received by Lord Lann, and he is even considered down and out.
The two backpacks he was carrying were too small, and they looked extremely shabby without even replacing them with a larger bag that could properly wrap the contents.
But Lane knew that if anyone really thought this man was ordinary, they were wrong.
He is a dimensional traveler, he is the maker of rules, and he is a mystery that no one knows about.
He is the mirror master who is both a god and a demon - Gunter O'Dimm.
"Long time no see, Lan En. I'm very happy to see you like the gift I gave you so much."
Mirror Master looked at Lan En's lion eyes and said sincerely: "I also sincerely hope you can be like me. Happy."
This is the first time that Lann has faced the real Mirror Master consciously. During the last exchange, he could not move at all.
What should ordinary people do when faced with the existence of such a ceiling in combat effectiveness? Pray humbly? Flattery to please?
Geralt's attitude in the original work is a good reference. It's neither humble nor arrogant, and even a little bit yin and yang. The Mirror Master seems to like this way of communication very much.
In other words, Lann can just treat the Mirror Master the same way he treated the bard Milo Glass.
"I really can't say I don't like it, but I can't say I like it either." Lan looked at Mirror Master expressionlessly, "Odim—can I call you that?" "You call me
Gaunt. You will be happier."
"Then Odim - I want to know, did you put a lot of thought into giving this gift?" "
First, just a small coincidence, the danger will become I was in a desperate situation, and then you would give me a little help to save my life, and this help would also come with a little strength; and after I gained a little strength, you would help me build a more powerful enemy to arouse my hatred towards The desire for more powerful power led to our subsequent transactions."
Lann said calmly: "If you are really just repaying me for the wine as you said, then you can show up early and let me recover and save Xint. La. But you didn't, so you chose to let me bear the hatred of ruining my country and my family, and be the enemy of half the continent or even the entire continent, right? There is no such thing as "wait until I think of a suitable reward for you to show up.
" , you have prepared a reward for me from the beginning, because I will definitely ask for that reward, and it is impossible for me to ask for any other reward. Everything is for your transaction to proceed as promised, right?" Mirror
Master Sitting opposite Lan En, as the lion-eyed man exposed or framed him, he was not angry at all. Instead, the smile on his face became bigger and bigger. The novelty of seeing treasures and the joy of seeing the same kind of people were in his eyes. His face became more and more radiant.
"No, no, no, Lan, you misunderstood me." Mirror Master said sincerely.
"You only talked about the transaction part, and also the poem part: How can the battle of the demon hunter to save his family to defend his country be as exciting as the battle of revenge of the prince of the end of the world? I have been looking forward to something more from you. What new themes, these are touching stories that I can share in other worlds."
Mirror Master sincerely corrected the cognitive errors in Lan's language, as if he was teaching a child how to understand the world.
"Trade? Trading is secondary to the story. Does this make you understand?"
Lann's face twitched, as if he didn't expect the Mirror Master to be so honest.
He tightened his fists and repeatedly reminded himself that the ceiling of combat power in front of him was not yet the time to fall out.
"Let's get to the point - your deal. Take out the contract in your satchel. It's almost falling out of your tattered satchel. If you need it, I can help you replace it with a new one. A bigger and stronger bag."
"This contract? This is not for you, and we don't need these things between us."
Master Mirror picked up the quill pen in mid-air, teased the feathers on its tail, and then began to dictate The deal he prepared for Lan:
"Just like what I see in you now, I love stories. Before I get the story in you, I also want to tell you a story first: about a hard-hearted man. A scoundrel, he is unparalleled in his despicableness and shamefulness, and he refuses to repay his debt. He is a beast in human skin, feeding on the pain of others!" When he said the last sentence, the Mirror Master gritted his teeth
. .
Lan's face was expressionless: "Although I feel like you are introducing yourself, I can see that you really don't like him very much. Why did this person offend you?" The scoundrel and beast in the Mirror Master's mouth is named
Olgierd. Everrick.
He was born into a nomadic tribe, his ancestors were granted nobility due to their military exploits in Redania, and he was one of the founders of the dynasty in Redania.
But such a high-ranking and powerful person eventually fell into ruin. Like many cliche stories, this declining aristocrat tried to reverse his family's destiny, but the result was bankruptcy and the betrayal of his lover; in the end, he had to turn to the devil in exchange for wealth and love.
But this guy is different from the idiots in other stories. Although he messed up a lot of things, he is still talented in black magic and some tricks: before
meeting the Mirror Master, he taught himself black magic." Cursing others to turn into frogs" or "summoning dark astral creatures from afar"; after making a contract with the Mirror Master, he quickly discovered the loopholes in the contract and made the following conditions:
Olgierd Promise to give your soul to the Mirror Master in exchange for status and wealth. But if the Mirror Master wants to obtain this soul and complete the contract, he must first fulfill Olgierd's three wishes, but it cannot be implemented by him himself, but must be through an agent.
Lann was not Mirror Master's first choice, but Olgierd's wisdom and methods must be praised here: after all, if the agent sent by Mirror Master before had been effective, then Lann would not be needed now.
"What I need is not just a thug, but also a smart enough and fearless person, for example - you, Lann."
Lann said expressionlessly: "I feel flattered by your compliment."
Mirror Master nodded: " I can feel it. Lann, I need an ally, a friend, and I think you are the person I am looking for."
Lann opened his arms and gestured to his location: "But Odim, you also saw it , I have a mess to deal with right now. In your words, I am writing a story for you, so I don’t have time to travel all the way to Redania to be a Dijing that makes other people’s wishes come true for you.”
Faced with Lan En's rejection, Mirror Master seemed to have expected it. He smiled mysteriously and said,
"Have you forgotten Lan En, I told you - 'When the time is right, I will come to you again.'" I never lie."
After hearing this, Lann showed a confused expression on his face.
The Mirror Master did not intend to explain, but continued to talk to himself: "I believe this will be a smooth journey, and my commission will be a brilliant embellishment in your story. Wait until you arrive in Redania Let’s get in touch again later. I’m waiting for your good news.”
After saying this, Mirror Master smiled mysteriously:
“By the way, Lann. Regarding your witcher mutation, what you gained far exceeds yours. Imagine, after all, how could the gift I gave you be defective? There are more surprises waiting for you to develop. When you know the full content of this mutation, I believe you will really thank me." What do you mean
? Lan En was about to ask again when he heard a "dong dong dong" knock on the door.
The sound in the quiet space suddenly attracted Lann's attention. How could there be another person's knock on the door in a place where time stood still?
Then he realized what he was doing, and when he looked back, the place where the Mirror Master was sitting was already empty.
The gel-like concave ink rippled and then became flat, and the quill hanging in the air fell to the table with a "pop" sound.
Directly opposite Lan En, I don’t know when there was a small, plain mirror. There was no decoration on the back. Only the clarity of the mirror surface was commendable. You can buy it from any dealer on the road. mirror.
But this mirror will never be ordinary, because it is something left by the mirror master.
Lann remembered that in the original work, the Mirror Master would leave a mark on the agent's body, which was regarded as a reminder and a token. Now it seems that this mirror is a token left by the Mirror Master for him, but he has not yet agreed to the other party's commission. ah?
"Dong dong dong." The knock on the door became more urgent, and then came the Druid's voice, "Lan, are you in there?" "
Yes." Lann stood up and wanted to give Mossak He opened the door, but after getting Lan's response, the old druid stopped waiting and pushed the door open.
His expression was very stern, and he held a letter in his hand.
"Lan, the Northern Kingdom is going to hold a war conference, and Cintra is the invited party."
The peace talks between the North and the South are here.
After hearing what Mossack said, Lan suddenly felt that the matter was not simple, and quickly took the letter and started reading it carefully.
To put it simply, after the Northern Kingdom blocked Nilfgaard from the northern border this time, the two sides are currently in a stalemate. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the next strategic deployment.
Because the situation has developed at this stage, it is no longer up to any big country in the north to decide on their own. They have been fully aware of Nilfgaard's huge ambitions and powerful strength.
If you want to pursue victory and even defeat Nilfgaard, then the Northern Territory needs complete cooperation; and if you want to negotiate peace with Nilfgaard, then how to negotiate, what you have to pay and what you have to gain, these also require all the forces in the Northern Territory Carry out overall coordination.
