Chapter 191 The Complete Liberation of Ancient Blood and the Unique Soul in the Painting
The tree hanging Triss is in front of a fork in the road not far from Lann.
Although "Triss" is crying for help miserably, if you look closer and look carefully, you can see a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
No matter how you look at it, that smile is carved out of the same mold as the Mirror Master.
The whole scene is weird all the time.
Lann took a deep look at "Triss" and ran towards the church without looking back.
"Lann!!!" The red-haired sorceress behind her screamed, and the branches under her feet could no longer support her weight.
The body fell with the force of gravity, the rope tightly strangled the red-haired head, and the huge inertia easily broke the sorceress's fragile neck.
"Oh, my God, are you really so heartless Lann?" A teasing voice came from the sky, "But what if I like you even more for acting like this?" A black mist-shaped gargoyle appeared in front
, He was actually able to pick up sharp stones from the ground and throw them over.
Lann rolled and dodged the throw that was faster than the arrow. As usual, [Quenn] got up and [Arden] interfered. He easily broke through the opponent's obstacles and entered the church without looking back.
"I'm not heartless, but my familiarity lets me know that it's not Triss." Lan said coldly, "I can also use this to warn myself not to let Triss fall into this situation in the future." "And
yours This practice has made me more determined to expel you, Mirror Master."
"Hahahaha, okay. Come and find me." Mirror Master laughed loudly, "I am right here, and you are very close. I and The gifts I prepared for you are all here, I can't wait!"
After slamming open the church door, Lan rolled all the way, almost running on his back to get over the long steps.
Ahead, a huge mirror stood at the end of the passage like a rock. The mirror glowed with red light, reflecting Lan's panting and embarrassed appearance.
"It seems reasonable for Master Mirror to hide in the mirror."
The ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked, and Lan immediately lost his footing and fell downwards.
Apparently, the Mirror Master doesn't give Lan access to the mirror.
"Can I accuse you of cheating?" Lann pressed his back against the corridor and shouted loudly as he slid downwards.
"I never cheat!" The voice above the sky shouted without giving up, "You don't think the game is really that easy, do you?" The
falling trend stopped quickly. After Lan En stabilized his body and looked up, he saw ruins in front of him.
One high platform after another rose up on the rugged ground, and on each high platform stood a mirror that was taller than a person.
"Your answer is very close~ But guess which mirror I am in?"
Hearing the teasing above the curtain, Lan smiled softly. He didn't pay attention to the mirrors at all, but shifted his gaze to the center of the underground platform.
There was a fountain there that had dried up.
A dry fountain, this is Lan En’s goal!
There is still almost a quarter of the hourglass in the sky, but Lan has no intention of continuing to waste time with the Mirror Master.
"Connected to all things, I am sometimes despised by the world. The
palm of my hand can make me lose my mind. What can swords, guns and sticks do to me?
The young will dance with joy when they see it, the elders will be sad when they see it, and the beautiful women will linger and stop looking at you.
You When you are sad, I sigh; when you are sleepy, I am tired; when you are happy, I am carried away; I am no different from you."
Lan En repeated the riddle while running, passing by a mirror along the way.
When he was still five steps away from the mirror, the mirror seemed to have been hit by an invisible hammer and turned into pieces.
Lann knew that every mirror would become like this when he approached it, because the Mirror Master was not in it at all.
These are all deceptions, giving hope to those who know only a little about the riddle, causing them to struggle to find the non-existent mirror that hides the Mirror Master, wasting their time in vain, and finally having their souls taken away.
"'Mirror' is actually very close to the answer, or it is part of the answer." "
But the answer is not 'mirror', but 'mirror', or 'everything that can reflect'!"
Lan En said . When I walked to the fountain, it had long since dried up, but the channel connecting to the underground water was still there.
And "water" is also one of the "mirrors". This is the real answer to this riddle!
The witcher's senses were activated, and the moist air painted luminous colors in Lan's eyes.
Following his intuition, he came to the place where the light was the strongest. Without hesitation, Lan stretched out his left hand to take out the seal, and a huge amount of telekinesis condensed in the palm of his hand.
[Alder Seal·Magic Explosion]!
There was a "rumbling". This was not the sound of the seal, but the roar of the underground water that had been suppressed for an unknown length of time. Lan En was immediately knocked over and fell to the ground, splashing with water.
Standing up slightly embarrassed, Lan panted and looked under the water.
I saw my shin guards stepping on the water, making ripples. When the ripples calm down, the entire water surface becomes a huge mirror, and the above water and the underwater world form two different worlds.
And the mirror image that should have been touching the soles of his shin guards across the water now actually looked like a leather boot. Looking further down, he saw brown leather pants, a straw-yellow linen undershirt, black gloves, and a short head with a half-smiling expression.
Mirror Master, he actually turned into his own reflection, standing under the water!
Lann bent down without hesitation and reached his palms into the ground; while the Mirror Master under the water also made the same move, reaching out towards Lann with an interested smile.
There was a "pop", which was the sound of palms breaking the water surface, and also the muffled sound of two hands overlapping each other and grabbing each other.
"Got you!"*2.
Mirror Master imitated Lann's speech, as if playing a childish game.
Then he laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, wonderful, Lann, so wonderful! You guessed the answer to the riddle and completed the game!"
He didn't seem to care about his failure, and was even happy for Lann's success. happy.
"Yes, I have completed this bet." Lann replied, "So according to the agreement, you have to leave this world now."
Mirror Master nodded without hesitation: "Of course, this is the agreement."
He grabbed Lann His hands never relaxed.
The mirror image under their feet suddenly turned from the reflection on the water into endless darkness. The two of them stood on the water, as if they were standing on an abyss, or in a starless night sky.
The Mirror Master's eyes suddenly turned into a glass-like texture, with a light amber light shining from the bottom; all the life on his face was taken away, and the skin became as rough as dried leather, with dark gray meridians underneath. Get tattooed.
At this moment, he finally showed some of his true colors.
"The contract is not just about me leaving this world, but also the gift I give you. I will faithfully abide by our agreement!" Master Mirror suddenly tightened his hold on
Lan's hand, and pulled it hard. He was drawn into the world of reflection. The infinite darkness also seemed to be conscious, stretching out countless tentacles and sweeping towards Lann.
"Boom -"
The moment the darkness touched him, Lan's mind went blank, and he felt as if there were huge waves surrounding him in every direction.
Every part of his body suffered an impact that was hard to quantify. And each impact point eventually became a vent, allowing massive amounts of energy to be poured into his body from the outside world.
"Although there were some minor deviations in the process, the final result was still the same as I expected - but that's okay, some surprises can make the work complete. Real rare treasures are born out of accidents. "
Mirror Master crossed his arms, looked at Lan with satisfaction, looked at his masterpiece, and commented:
"Maggi."
Then he slowly backed away, and a bright light suddenly appeared in the endless darkness behind him.
It was like the first ray of light emitted when a star was born, and like the last ray of afterglow when the sun expired. That is the irritation that will burn the eyes clean of ordinary people at the first sight.
The mirror master waved his hand to block the dazzling light for Lann, and then waved his hand again, suddenly creating a mirror in front of Lann.
He whistled cheerfully, even though he was about to be "expelled" according to Lan's agreement, he was still extremely happy.
"Look at yourself, Lane, look at yourself."
"Your expression, your eyes, and the soul behind your eyes." "Do
you think I'm the only one in the mirror? No, look here, this That's the real you! The one who is incompatible with everything, indifferent to everything, and treats everything as a game!"
Mirror Master continued to retreat until his body began to be gradually swallowed up by the light that broke through the darkness, and his body appeared on fire like a piece of paper. Spots were ignited, burned out, and finally turned into ashes.
Endless laughter and shouts still echoed in this space for a long time:
"This world belongs to you, Lann. Control it, chew it, absorb it, and let it become your power!" "
We still have it ! We will meet. I look forward to the day when you fully grow up, and I will wait for you in endless time and space!"
...
Lan is still hovering in mid-air.
He could clearly hear the voice of the Mirror Master, clearly see himself reflected in the mirror in front of him, and clearly feel the power that was constantly being poured into his body.
pain!
This was the only feeling Lan felt at the moment. He was almost knocked unconscious by the severe pain that he felt when he underwent the mutation of a witcher in Toussaint; but there seemed to be an invisible big hand in his body holding up his sanity and preventing it from falling. The purpose of entering darkness is to allow yourself to feel the changes in your body to the greatest extent.
Time passed by minute by second, as the darkness completely eroded him, and as more and more energy poured into his body, something seemed to be awakened from his blood.
A key was thrust into Lan's consciousness at this moment.
Lann gently touched the key, and the huge amount of energy in his body seemed to find an outlet at this moment. His pupils suddenly turned snow-white, and countless pictures flashed in his mind like slides that had been accelerated countless times.
It was a skeleton cavalry that shuttled among death and disease, using knives, swords, and chains to bring fear; it was a frost world covered by severe cold, with death and glaciers as the eternal themes; he also saw that there would be a
day The falling fire breaks through layers of dark clouds and chases the dreamy horse with one horn; there are vehicles made of steel traveling through the desert, avoiding the beams caught in the hands of enemies behind them and used as weapons; and there are more: warriors who use roars as
weapons , the hunter who shuttles between monster minions, the old man who survives in the cracks of time, and the brave man who breaks the boundary between life and death.
Countless worlds appeared in front of Lann's eyes, and each world stretched out a hand to pull at him, plead with him, and even demand.
At present, Lann still doesn't know how big an impact his change will have.
.........
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the continent.
Kaer Morhen, the forgotten place of the world.
Ciri, who was sensing the chaotic energy, suddenly fell to the ground under Yennefer's shocked eyes.
Her eyes were instantly colored by the color of the mist, and she began to murmur unconsciously:
"The time of swords and axes is approaching, it is the age of roaring lions. The time of frost and flames is coming, it is the age of madness and contempt... …”
……
Duane Kanal, Brochron’s Heart of Oak.
Three girls soaking in the spring water were suddenly lifted up by the current, and a huge wave like a sea wave swept through the spring water with them as the center.
Esna and Ellie stood side by side, chanting in a low voice as if they were feeling something:
"The world will be reborn with the new sun, and the ancient blood will be reborn from the seeds of hope. This seed will not sprout, but it will burn Fire..."
The Lake Fairy, who was forcibly forced out of the Dragon Fountain of Bloch, quietly shrank to a place where no one could see her, holding down her trembling hands.
"He left... but left something even more terrifying..."
...
Vizima, the capital of Temeria.
Princess Yada, who was walking by the beautiful Lake Vizima, suddenly fell to the ground as soft as if her bones had been taken away. She was so frightened that the accompanying palace warlock Keira hurriedly stepped forward to check on her condition.
Yada was seen clutching her stomach with a painful expression. In the sorceress's surprised eyes, the few strands of white hair that had recently appeared on the princess' head disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the entire red hair instantly became smoother, more radiant, and as bright as flames.
"What... happened?"
Princess Yada raised her face that suddenly became tight and smooth, and met Keira's expression of surprise, confusion, and then a half-smile.
.........
Xenide Island, headquarters of the Warlock Brotherhood.
In the observatory at the top of the castle, Disaya was watching the trajectory of the stars through the astronomical telescope.
Suddenly, the always dignified and elegant abbess and sorceress let out a scream like a magic beginner would make when faced with out-of-control chaotic energy.
"Is this...the intersection of the celestial sphere?!"
.........
The mirror world, Lann.
I don’t know how long it took.
Countless scenes from other worlds appeared and passed before Lan's eyes, swallowing up his reason and strength.
"boom--"
Until there was a loud noise, as if a big hand connected these worlds with the strings controlling the puppets, and with one force, they were all pulled away from Lann's sight.
Only then did Lann's consciousness return to his body and his eyes became clear again.
The system had already sounded a beep, and the panel was flashing with light that overwhelmed Lann.
[Mission - Heart of Stone Part 5 - Completed]

Mission: Hear My Roar Part 1, Fairness and Selflessness]
Although the literal changes in the new panel are not as good as the first time I changed from a mortal to a demon hunter He is as big as a human, but his power of improvement is even greater.
The most obvious is the change in talent.
[Ancient Blood] has removed the suffix of "Partially Awakened", which shows that the power of this bloodline has been completely awakened, but the two talents of [Magic Aura] and [Psychic Medium] have disappeared, leaving only [ marksman】.
Thinking of Mirror Master's displeasure when he first sensed his [psychic medium], and what he said about "removing the influence" and "giving yourself better", Lan estimated that these magical talents are more likely to be Merged by [Blood of the Ancients].
Only the [Marksman] survived because of his talent in martial arts.
I wonder if Milva would be happy if she knew.
Of course, these talents of [Psychic Medium] may have been erased by the Mirror Master instead of being merged. As for the truth, Lan En only needs to go out and find a demon spirit or something to sense it. He prefers the latter.
In addition to changes in talents, changes in basic values are also obvious. His health and mana have increased significantly, far exceeding what he should have achieved if he had upgraded four levels in a row.
After a rough calculation, each value has been increased by more than a thousand, which is equivalent to a tenth level increase in basic attributes.
Lann suddenly felt the urge to go boxing with the troll.
However, Lann also noticed that although his upper limit of mana has been greatly improved, the mana he currently possesses is only in single digits at this moment, which is abnormal.
Did you use any mana-consuming spells just now?
Thinking of the countless scenes that appeared in front of him like a slideshow, or the scene where the energy in his body was madly vented, Lann had a guess in his heart... So, he
moved his eyes down, and at the end of the skill bar Three extra skills were discovered - [Flash], [Teleport], and [Shuttle].
These are all the skills on the [Blood of the Ancients] skill page. Originally, this page only had a solitary [Demon Tide], but now there is a new surprise!
[Flicker]: The heirs of the ancient blood can dissipate chaotic energy around themselves with themselves as the center. Any place where the energy touches can move instantaneously in space.
[Teleport]: The heirs of the ancient blood can mark other things with consciousness and chaotic energy, and then can transport the objects and life forms carried by the marked objects to their surroundings, or vice versa. The mark is destroyed and the ability to teleport disappears.
[Travel]: The heirs of the ancient blood can travel through space and time.
Translate, translate, what is surprise?
Lann knew that when the Mirror Master was still in this world, in order to allow himself, the "Prince in Distress," to complete the revenge drama, he would definitely give himself power; and this power would most likely be the fully awakened ancient blood.
But when the ancient blood truly fully awakened and the accompanying power was truly under his control, Lan had an unreal feeling again.
Let’s talk about [Flicker] first, this is an instantaneous movement skill that can continuously expand the distance according to the increase of magic value.
If you advance, you can attack in the face, if you retreat, you can escape in a flash. From now on, I no longer have to worry about the warlock chanting spells in the enemy's back row, because I am cutting into the back row!
Then there is [Teleport], a more strategic skill that can achieve ultra-long distance spatial movement by imprinting it. The effect is comparable to a warlock's portal, and even more powerful in some cases.
I just don’t know if it’s dizzy or not.
Finally, there is [Shuttle], a skill that can bring infinite possibilities to Lann, and is also the most precious skill of Ancient Blood.
However, Lann seems to be unable to fully exert its effect now. He now understood that his mana must have been drained by this skill.
Just peeking into some fragments of another world consumes so much. If you really want to travel through other worlds like Ciri in the original work, you will probably have to wait for Lan to continue to upgrade.
According to Lan's estimation, it should be a long time later.
The exploration of the new panel ends here.
Before Lan could continue to appreciate his newly acquired power, he suddenly felt a violent sense of weightlessness. The endless darkness around him seemed to have truly turned into an abyss, wrapping him up and falling.
Immediately afterwards, a thick white mist appeared around Lann. Lann was familiar with this white mist. The mirror master used this kind of white mist to cover his and Olgierd's bodies when he brought them out of the world in the painting.
The white mist obscured all his sight, and when his eyes cleared, he saw the hall of Everrick Manor again.
Alice and the other witchers returned to normal at the same moment Lan regained his sight, and the time suspended by the Mirror Master slowly began to flow at the same moment.
In their understanding, the current timeline is that Lan has just completed Olgierd's three wishes, and Olgierd has returned to a state of emotional pain and is seeking help from Alice.
By the way, Olgierd...
Lann had a slight murderous intention. He only saved Olgierd to use it as a bargaining chip to trade with the Mirror Master. In fact, the two were outright enemies.
He lowered his head and looked at Olgierd lying on the ground, only to find that the demon trader who had regained his freedom was still screaming in agony, becoming more and more miserable and powerless.
Alice's outstretched hand stayed in mid-air, as if recalling the evil deeds Olgierd had committed against her in the past.
The demon hunters who were watching frowned, and they could feel Olgierd's life passing quickly. It only takes a few breaths to survive.
"Alice..." The weak Olgierd stretched out his hand towards his wife.
The beautiful soul in the painting finally came forward. She hugged her dying husband without saying a word.
Then Olgierd's mouth moved twice and he stopped breathing.
For everyone who didn't know why, everything happened too suddenly.
The black cat and the black dog condensed their bodies in a state of black mist. They looked at the male master who summoned them and showed a strange expression: "His heart is broken."
Kiyaen looked at all the memories of previous marriages and found nothing. He sneered without hesitation: "It would be an advantage for him to die like this."
But Lan shook his head, looked at the scene in front of him and said meaningfully: "But as a story that deviates from the outline and has to end hastily, this ending seems It's more romantic with a bad taste."
Leisuo looked at Lann thoughtfully, and he seemed to feel that something had changed in this young man in just the blink of an eye.
On the other side, with Olgierd's death, the purple rose in Alice's arms suddenly withered and gradually dissipated in the wind like a phantom.
The soul in the painting lets go of her husband's body, holds his empty hands, and wonders what he is thinking.
After a long time, she sighed deeply:
"I have very few memories... Only when I see this rose can I recall everything in the past. It makes the world around me real and allows me to recognize things. Recall your past."
"But now, even it is gone."
Leisuo gave a professional evaluation: "Maybe it is the strong emotion that connects you and this rose, allowing you to stay in this world. , this emotion is called 'Chun' in our witcher parlance."
Although Olgierd was a bastard, Letso had no problem with Alice. Even after watching all the previous marriage memories, he was full of sympathy for this female ghost who had experienced a miserable life.
Kolgrim also added: "The connected objects seem to be insects nailed to the exhibition stand by wooden stakes, hence the name."
Alice tightened her fingers: "It sounds scary... but no matter what, It's gone now."
She leaned down gently, closed her eyes on the corpse on the ground, and straightened her appearance.
Then she stood up and asked Lan: "I heard Olgierd call you 'Lannister', are you a knight? Can you please tell me honestly, what will happen to me if I lose this rose?" How?"
Lann thought for a while and told the truth: "The world you created may cease to exist, taking you with it."
Alice lowered her eyes: "Will I no longer have to suffer? Or will I fall into Nothingness?"
"I don't want to suffer anymore, but I'm worried that what's waiting for me will be coldness and darkness until...it ceases to exist." There was
a hint of pleading in her tone, hoping to get an accurate answer.
Lann took a deep breath, with a sincere and sincere expression on his face.
He was about to carry out his last purpose this time.
Faced with Alice's question, he gave an answer that the other party had never thought of - or a suggestion.
"If that's the case, why don't you try to leave here? You have experienced too much suffering, but you have not enjoyed much happiness. You have been imprisoned in this manor after your marriage and are not allowed to take a step out. Now Olgierd Gone, no power can imprison you here anymore. You are free, aren't you?"
Alice was suddenly stunned. She was a bird that had been imprisoned for too long, just looking forward to being free, but forgetting herself And wings.
"I...but I have nowhere to go." Alice lowered her head, "I don't have a husband, and my husband killed my father. Now I have become a soul..." "How about you follow me?
"
Alice took a step back suddenly and looked at Lan in panic.
Lann also politely took a step back and distanced himself to give Alice some sense of security: "To be honest, I have never introduced myself to you: I am Lann of Cintra, Lann Lannister. ·Lian Lun, earldom, second in line to the throne of the royal family - of course, as you can see, I am a demon hunter, so now I have lost the qualification to inherit the throne." Behind Lann, Kolgrim poked
gently He poked Lei Suo: "What is he doing?"
Lei Suo didn't look back: "Just watch."
Here, Lan looked up at the soul in front of him, his eyes showing clear sincerity: "I don't want to Seeing innocent people suffer because of other people's sins makes me involuntarily want to lend a helping hand. You don't have to worry about being in danger outside because of your identity as a soul. My identity is your best protection."
Ali Si lowered her head and held her long skirt with both hands: "But... this is the first time we have met, and I don't want to be a burden to others anymore. Olgierd is just for me..." Lan interrupted
: "We know you well enough, and I believe you have also seen me in your dreams."
"You will not be a burden. I have seen many masterpieces in your gallery, and it happens that my princess needs a painter. Teacher. If you are willing, we will trouble you in the future." "
Being a painting teacher for the princess?" Alice was stunned, and there was a hint of expectation and excitement in her voice.
For a lady with a respectable background and who likes to paint, this is an irresistible career; and for a soul that has almost lost all ties with the world, this is another new hope of life.
Before Alice even realized it, a seed had been planted and began to take root.
"Of course." Lan En keenly noticed the change in the other party's tone, struck while the iron was hot, and made an invitation gesture.
He put his right hand on his chest, stretched out his left hand, bent down and lowered his head: "So, can I have the honor to invite you? Mrs. Alice - or, Ms. Alice?" After two breaths of silence, he felt a
cold His fingertips rested on his palm.
"You were a true knight... Thank you, Mr. Lannister."
Rest in peace, Olgierd Everec.
Next is the question of how to prevent Alice from disappearing with the world and take her out safely: "The movement of the soul requires possession, usually by possessing one's own body. But since we have just buried you, we I need this—"
Lan flipped his right hand and took out the portrait of Alice that he had put away in the real Olgierd Manor from the [Inventory].
"You need to be possessed here temporarily. At the same time, I will further stabilize your spirit body. This requires you to relax your body for a while and don't resist me in your heart, okay?" Alice lowered her head and put her left hand on
Lan In En's palm, her right hand nervously grasped her skirt: "Of course."
Lan En smiled slightly, spent a skill point to open the blank [Follower Slot], and invested experience points.
Heart of Stone's mission experience had reached half of the progress bar after his last upgrade, and now it was slightly down by three digits. There were a lot more than Contract House and the others, but not as good as Kian.
A new [Follower] panel unfolded before his eyes.
[Follower: Alice
Gender: Female Race: Soul Level
in the Painting : 1 Talent: Tsubaki Experience Value: 0/1000 Health Value: 2000/2000 Mana Value: 3000/3000 Item Column: Mourning Dress, Pearl Veil Skill Column: Connection jump, soul resurrection, spiritual body inanimate, pain absorption, advanced etiquette, advanced painting tasks: none] [Shared follower talent: Tsubaki] [Tsubaki: Strong emotional connection can preserve the soul of the living, and even create things beyond imagination. of creation. 】 The most powerful minion panel ever appeared. Lann first noticed that Alice's race was [the soul in the painting] and not the [demon spirit in the painting]. In the game, before walking through the gallery to the bedroom, the player himself has to encounter a demon boss in the gallery, which is very difficult to deal with. Not only does it have all the abilities of a regular demon spirit, it can also move freely between different paintings. When hiding inside a painting, it can also recover blood very quickly, making the player's hard work in vain. Among all demon monsters in the Witcher series, this BOSS can be said to be the most difficult to deal with. And the true form of the BOSS is actually a wraith that was transformed into part of Alice's remaining resentment after her death. The key point: "Part" of Alice's resentment turned into a "vindictive spirit." But the one in front of Lann was different, this was the complete Alice. Not only does he retain his senses and can communicate, but he also retains all his skills and basic abilities. Even the basic attributes of this body are stronger than Kaiyan! As expected of BOSS. Of course, attributes aren't everything. If there was a real fight, the experienced demon hunter would always be able to kill monsters that were several times stronger than him, not to mention that the current Alice was not a combatant by any means. But even if she can't fight, Alice is completely sufficient as a special reserve talent. Alice's special ability of "the soul in the painting" can make her a core role in the city defense system and investigation system. As long as her paintings are placed in castles, capitals, and even transportation thoroughfares across the country, she can freely travel through them. Even if you are bold, it is not unthinkable to occasionally give these paintings to leaders of other countries... But what attracted Lann's attention the most was actually Alice's talent - [Chun]. This was an unexpected gain for Lann. Originally, he was thinking about whether it was possible to share the demon spirit's virtualization ability in the form of a skill, but unexpectedly a talent popped up. However, this talent is also the most briefly described and vague talent that Lan has seen so far. It didn't clearly indicate which abilities it would enhance, and even Lan didn't even know how to use this ability. But what is certain is that this is definitely a powerful ability. According to the description, Alice can exist in the form of a soul after death, acquire magical abilities, and even create this world in the painting, all relying on the talent of [Tsubaki]. Perhaps at some point in the future, when Lan understands how to use it, this talent can bring him a different kind of surprise... On this side, Lan finished analyzing Alice's panel. On the other side, after feeling the clear changes in her body, Alice's eyes suddenly softened when she looked at Lan. She smiled gratefully at Lan, her body lit up with cold green firelight, and she melted into the portrait of herself in the blink of an eye. Lann nodded with satisfaction. He turned around and met the scrutinizing gazes of the demon hunters. "What's wrong?" he said loudly and righteously, "I am a griffin, a knight among the witchers." " And have you forgotten my ambition to rebuild the witcher order? Lend a helping hand to the weak. , Providing protection to those in need, isn’t this the original intention of the establishment of the Order?” Kiyaen looked in admiration upon hearing this. The black cat and black dog who had been watching suddenly trembled: "The male master who summoned us is dead, and the female master who needs our protection has just disconnected from us." "Witcher, although I don't know you What have you done, but thank you." These creatures summoned from foreign lands have now reached the conditions for returning to their hometown. The black dog thanked him and turned around to leave. After taking two steps, it turned into ashes all over the sky. This time it didn't condense again. The black cat tilted his head: "This world is about to collapse. You should leave quickly. Go back the way you came and find the painting that brought you in. Then you can get out. Thank you, Witcher." After the words fell, the black cat also left . The ground disappeared. After receiving the warning, everyone quickly ran outside. The dense black fog that shrouded the manor had dissipated at this moment, and the wooden planks they stepped on disappeared into a vast expanse of pure white nothingness. It seemed like hundreds of suns were lighting up the place together. Lann took a deep look back at the world and took the lead in touching the painting that plunged his group into a dimensional world. With the familiar feeling of dizziness and dizziness, Lan bent over the tree and retched. After he felt a little relieved, he raised his head and saw that all the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed. It was a sunny day today. ......... At this point, Heart of Stone's tasks are all completed, and the Mirror Master has also been expelled. The witchers who rushed from Novigrad to this place and fought continuously chose to repair on the spot and rested for a day at the almost ruined Everrick Manor before returning to Nuocheng. Alice, the mistress of the manor, simply entertained everyone. Lann tidied up a guest room for himself, and his mind sank into his system panel. This series of missions directly brought four character levels to himself. Lann used one to contract with Alice, and there were three left. (End of chapter)
