Chapter 159: Give the Frog Prince a kiss, and he will kiss you back.
"Have you studied art? Lannister, I would like you to taste the sculptures and paintings here with me."
Olgierd said without explanation. Lan brought it to the collection room and showed him a stone sculpture that could not be described in detail:
"There are only a few valuable statues: gods, kings, and naked women, and this is a naked fairy. Theory It should be the most valuable one." "
This is one of the reasons why the owner of the manor was saddled with huge debts. He spent almost all of his wealth to buy it in the hope that its value would appreciate. As a result, its author suddenly became infamous. , and the work will depreciate along with it."
Olgierd turned to look at Lann: "But I think the value of a work of art should not be determined solely by the author's reputation. What do you think of it, Lannister?" Lann looked
at Looking at the statue in front of me, it has pointed ears, long silky hair, and the smell of lake water and forest vegetation that you can feel just by looking at it.
He shrugged: "It's hard for me to evaluate objectively, because I just saw the real body of this statue not long ago, and she gave me a sword."
Olgierd looked interested when he heard this: "Lake The gryphon knight in the fairy tale, right? I heard about it. It seems that your life is much more interesting than mine." The
leader of the wild boar army suddenly lost interest: "Without the aura of the famous man, if you peel off the prototype of the sculpture, Given the meaning, this thing is just a stone - a lifeless, lifeless stone."
Olgierd suddenly exerted force and punched the statue of the Lake Fairy.
His power was so great that the lifelike statue actually shattered under his fist. The broken stones tore into pieces and flew, hitting him with crackling sounds.
He has great strength, but he is still made of flesh and blood. When Lan saw Olgierd pull out his fist, the fist was bruised and swollen, and there were a lot of blood holes scratched by the sharp edges of the stone, almost Dye his sleeves red too.
But Olgierd seemed to feel nothing. He casually took the silk that was originally covered on the stone sculpture to prevent dust and wiped it on his fist.
In just one breath, the scarred fist recovered as before, leaving only one or two scars that were slightly invisible to the naked eye.
He turned towards Lan, pushed the remaining part of the statue to the ground with a wave of his right hand, and said: "Only in this way can this statue bring me a little fun - and only this little fun." Lan
. En clapped softly: "You really have high-minded interests."
"I thought you would be surprised at my hands first, after all, everyone will notice this first." Olgierd said, "But it doesn't matter. Let's talk about it. Let's get down to business - why did you come to me? Vizmir II finally decided to attack me?"
Lann shook his head. He had no intention of concealing his purpose: "Vezmir II really wants to I'm going to attack you, but I haven't said that I have to kill you yet. And the main purpose of my coming this time is not because of him, but..." "
It's because of me."
Lann's words were suddenly interrupted.
A third person's voice came from the secret room between the two people.
The statue that fell to the ground spattered stones, but froze in mid-air and stopped moving; the silk that Olgierd threw aside after wiping his fists slowly fell, but seemed to never reach the bottom; there was originally a rumor outside the manor. The wild boar Junye who came to shout the harmony seemed to have exhausted all his strength in an instant and fell into a silence like a deep pool in a canyon.
The familiar scene appeared again, but this time it was no longer one-on-one. There were three people able to move in this seemingly stagnant time and space.
Lann and Olgierd turned back together, and the man still appeared in front of them.
With a short, almost bald haircut, the wandering businessman stepped into the collection room with a reserved and polite smile.
"Also, his body is immortal, and I gave him the ability." Master Mirror pointed at Olgierd's hand that recovered in an instant, and took the initiative to introduce it to Lan, "If you want this kind of power, I can give it to you later."
Mirror Master put his fingers together on his chest with a gentle look. The other two people in the room reacted to his arrival with mixed reactions.
Lan said expressionlessly: "I was still wondering when you would contact me. At first I thought it would be the first time I arrived in Novigrad."
Olgierd looked disgusted: "Gaunt ·Odim, are you looking for poor people in the neighborhood again and spreading your disgusting rumors?"
After Olgierd finished speaking, he suddenly realized something and turned to look at Lann in surprise. Now he finally understood. Lan En's purpose of coming, which he didn't guess at first.
"No, no, I'm here to collect debts this time. Send my agent to fulfill your three wishes. Lan is the partner I choose this time." Olgierd's eyes suddenly changed, not that he was wary
. , but an indescribable...self-mockery?
"So that's it, that's it. I've heard those rumors, Lannister, what are you after? These yellow eyes of yours? Your princess? Or Cintra who is still alive? With all due respect, and the devil's Neither transaction will end well."
Lann said expressionlessly: "Since you can say this, I believe that based on your experience, you should understand what it means to be 'involuntarily'."
Mirror Master smiled and said: "Don't be like this. Lann, the friendship between us is more pure than a cold transaction, and you are the most special."
A devil who released a deal, a dirty soul targeted by the devil, and a spokesperson driven by the devil. The three creatures in the room each occupied a corner, forming a faint triangular confrontation.
In the end, it was Olgierd who broke the silence. He took the lead in attacking the Mirror Master:
"Now that you have chosen a spokesperson, according to the rules, what happens next has nothing to do with you. Go away, Gaunt O'Dimm , You are not welcome in any space within my sight!"
It is really unimaginable that such a call would be made by a person facing the Mirror Master.
Olgierd approached the Mirror Master step by step until he was almost face to face with him.
His gaze was unyielding. In Lan's eyes, it was like an ant trying to shake a giant mountain.
But Mirror Master's reaction was unexpectedly tolerant. He had the ability to turn his hands into clouds and rain, and he looked at Olgierd without any anger in his eyes.
Those eyes were full of abundant and hard-to-read emotions, bit by bit infiltrating the polite and elegant smile on his face.
"Of course, Olgierd, according to the rules, you are right." "
Then the rest of the time will be left to you. You two should get along well."
The mirror master took two steps back, threw his left hand back, and held his chest with his right hand. , and actually gave him the court courtesy that a courtier would use to meet the emperor, and there was nothing wrong with that gesture.
Immediately afterwards, in a way that neither Lan nor Olgierd could react to, the Mirror Master disappeared from the room as if a frame had been drawn.
The stones splashed from the statue continued to fly, the silk swayed to the ground, and the selfless noise of the wild boar army was heard again outside the manor.
The world has returned to peace.
Olgierd shook his head in the direction where the Mirror Master disappeared and sighed: "Fate is really wonderful. You, a count of Cintra, have now become a demon hunter; and I, a founding hero of Redania, Now I have become the leader of a bandit, and I don’t know where I will be tomorrow."
Lann has been expressionless since he came in: "But I can be sure that we have made our own choices to get to where we are today. In other words: you asked for it. "Yes."
Olgierd chuckled: "Then according to the current situation, I must kill you, Lannister."
"Stop talking and tell me your three wishes." Lann didn't want to talk to you anymore. The other party exchanged greetings, "We hate each other, it's better to keep things official. I also want to start my work quickly. There are many things waiting for me to do later." "It's so boring,
Lannister, it's so boring. Yes. Originally, I thought you were someone with a bit of a sense of humor." Olgierd held the table with his hands, looking disappointed.
"After I completed the transaction with Gunter O'Dimm, I felt that the things around me gradually lost their appeal to me. I had love, wealth, and subordinates, but only lost my happiness. I have been looking for something that can make me happy. Even if my heart speeds up a little bit, I still get nothing."
Lann crossed his arms and leaned against the wall: "I'm very happy to hear you start to tell your inner story. Since you have said so much, it must be Have you thought of something that makes your stone-like heart beat? Do you suggest that you continue to share it with me?" "
Yes, Lannister, it would be interesting to be more humorous." Olgierd smiled and clapped, "Do you think chivalry is doing justice? What do you think? This is also in line with your rumors and more in line with your eyes."
Lann stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture, willing to hear the details.
"Recently there was a rumor in Novigrad, saying that a prince turned into a huge toad and wandered in the sewers. A true love's kiss can turn the toad back into a prince, and the girl who offers the kiss can become the prince's destined daughter. ."
Olgierd walked outside the collection room and found a piece of yellow paper nailed to the wall, with an ugly toad with teeth and claws drawn on it.
"Many girls disappeared, one after another trying - after all, you know, girls tend to lose their minds when it comes to princes. Among them was my cook. After she left, I didn't hold any more banquets for a long time. Because she's the only one who can make me taste food." "
So with my first wish, listen up Lannister: help me kill that giant toad... No, that's too much. It's boring now, help me catch it alive and bring it back."
Olgierd immediately denied it after saying this, and then added a more difficult request.
Lann asked: "What happens after the captured one comes back alive?"
Olgierd said matter-of-factly: "I will kill it."
Lann did not believe Olgierd's lies, he knew that there were other dangers in this mission.
He looked into Olgierd's eyes: "Even if it's just for fun, this kind of chivalrous and righteous thing is not suitable for you. Tell me Olgierd, what are you thinking about? There must be a hidden meaning behind this story. This is Your last chance."
Olgierd sneered: "Why, you don't even dare to go with a big toad? It's just a rare monster, and it won't cause you any other trouble." (End of this
