Chapter 69 The Devil's First Contact
If you could control everything in the world and make all the rules.
And have something called the world editor.
Then you are a god or a devil.
What will you do?
In other words, how would you treat the world?
Are you breaking away from vulgar taste and creating myths and prosperity one after another?
Or begging for food from the nobles holding banquets and playing with the fate of others?
...
These days, if you come out to be a villain, if you don't highlight the word "lang", you will not be qualified.
The vast majority of villains' arrogance is based on their confidence or misunderstanding of their own physical strength.
Mirror Master, obviously confident.
In the world view of "The Witcher", he is a combination of "god" and "demon". He is omnipotent and omniscient. He can grant people immortality and can also control the flow of time.
——Unknown high-dimensional creatures, this is the definition of Mirror Master.
This guy is a gambler who likes to play contracts.
He will appear when you are suffering, help you do something, and realize your wish.
If Aladdin's magic lamp and Dragon Ball's dragon are more ideal types of "wish grantors", Mirror Master is more realistic.
If Party A makes a wish with vague words, how to realize the wish will depend on Party B’s understanding.
To give a simple example: Party A wishes for "world peace", and Party B can make all mankind live in peace, or let the entire world be destroyed and restarted.
Both methods can achieve "world peace" with the same result, both methods are valid.
Word games are sometimes scary. They don't look at what you say, but specifically at what you don't say.
For example, if you want to have two pet dogs, he will summon two hellhounds to you;
another example, if you want one of your parents to live a better life, he will control you to kill one of your parents, and If you kill one person, the living person will be better off than the dead person.
Okay, now let’s look back and see what grand operations Mirror Master has done.
In a corner of the RPG "Fall of Throne" in the independent Gwent online game "The Witcher: Gwent", you will find an NPC who made a deal with the Mirror Master, but the condition for the deal was "to let The sun can also rise in the dark night of the north." The result was that the Nilfgaardian Empire invaded the north, and the north was defeated. The flags of the Nilfgaardian Empire were everywhere in the night - the golden sun disk rising in the night.
The sun really rises in the northern darkness.
In short, you can understand that this is a fun person who likes to play word games and gamble.
Li Nuo has been thinking about the right thing to do when meeting the Mirror Master these days.
Mirror Master is like a chess player. Although he can overturn the chessboard and smash the opponent's veteran to pieces, that is not called chess, nor is it any fun.
So he still has to abide by the rules of chess. You and I play chess step by step and in a disciplined manner.
Li Nuo also came to a conclusion.
Only the one who takes the initiative can be as equal as possible with him on the chessboard. To put it simply, the Mirror Master will find the person who needs help to draw the weight, but if the Mirror Master becomes the one who is helped... Li Nuo looked around the
group Mirror Master, he knows that these are nothing more than "projections".
"Then what should I call... you now?"
The Mirror Masters turned into black mist and condensed into the shape of an old man wearing a top hat. He bowed slightly to Li Nuo and said in a lazy, deep voice: "Mirror merchant, Ronald, or Gunter O'Dimm, either."
"Hello...Mr. Ronald." Li Nuo didn't want to call out the name Gunter O'Dimm.
"I'm not that scary," said the Mirror Master. He could read the voice in Li Nuo's heart just now. In Li Nuo's memory, he also remembered that Master Mirror could read minds.
In order to verify the truth, he stitched together the picture in his mind of the bartender and the drinkers who the Mirror Master had just transformed into, and then used his imagination to process it.
Mirror Master said: "I can't understand your hobby."
"Okay." Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders. It seemed that Mirror Master did have the ability to read minds.
Mirror Master walked to the bar, poured a glass of malt beer, and then appeared behind Li Nuo in an instant and sat on a chair.
He tapped the wine glass lightly on the table, then took a sip and said: "The beer of Baiguoyuan is unusual. It is a unique variety in the world. It is just like you people. It is rare and exists among travelers in all eras. No, I should say you He is a troublemaker in another world. Hundreds of years ago, I was a gambler and lost to a demon hunter named Geralt, a demon hunter like you. I spent hundreds of years floating in the darkness. Until one day, I was awakened by a person..."
"A person like me?" Li Nuo asked.
"Yes, travelers from other worlds, that's what I call you." Master Mirror nodded politely. Compared with hundreds of years ago, he seemed to have learned to communicate with others in a more humble manner, but Li Nuo was very Clearly, this guy is still the most terrifying devil in the world.
He seemed to hear the voice in Li Nuo's mind and replied: "Devil, yes, that person also commented on me in the same way in his mind at that time. I can understand from that person's mind that he knew many things about me and about Jero Special's bet with me, but I can't read what his past experience is, as if this person does not exist in this world. There are only two explanations for this situation: He is a creature higher than me, but I am
very I'm going to deny it because he is so weak that I didn't expect; maybe he comes from another world, not another world created by the intersection of the celestial spheres, but a realm beyond this world." "Then what?" Li Nuo asked
.
"I made a simple bet with him. If he can live in the same room for a week, I will give him the power of eternal life." Mirror Master paused and said calmly: "There was an accident, and I asked him to He believed that his mother was killed outside the door, but he himself was unable to move. The confusion of memory and thinking made him shaken, and finally he went crazy in that house." "Endless Corridor
" Players cannot make substantial transactions with Mirror Master in this script, otherwise he will give a "curse" to the player. When Li Nuo thought this, he glanced at the kind and humble old man behind him.
He discovered that the Mirror Master could not read about the "Endless Corridor".
"In 1801, the second celestial convergence occurred, and a strange world came here, haha..." Master Mirror paused and said, "Then there were more travelers from other worlds and things I didn't know about."
" To put it simply, are you annoyed because you can't control everyone's destiny?" Li Nuo saw the key.
After being silent for a few seconds, Mirror Master smiled and nodded: "That's it, Mr. Demon Hunter."
"If you want to stay in this world, you need to abide by the rules of this world, but the new intersection of the celestial sphere and the appearance of travelers from other worlds are breaking the rules. As a demon, you and the ancient gods are incompatible existences... ...Well, so what you want is to take back the initiative to formulate rules." Li Nuo took off his hat and scratched his hair: "It's so troublesome."
Mirror Master was slightly startled at the side, he rarely encountered such Someone brought up the phrase "your needs."
As a devil who likes to initiate transactions, it is now as if he has become the initiated party.
Li Nuo said at this time: "Well, let me tell you my dream first, and then we will sum it up."
Master Mirror nodded: "You remind me of that guy."
"Ah~ I know who it is." Li Nuo coughed lightly. He said in a low and hoarse voice: "Yennefer, you smell so good today."
"Time waits for no one." Master Mirror was obviously not in the mood to play COSPLAY games with Li Nuo. He read the memory in Li Nuo's mind and said: "You want to kill the Shadow Elder."
"Now I have changed my mind." Li Nuo shrugged his shoulders: "I want the ancient blood and go to another dimension or space." "What are you doing
there? "
"Contact a higher civilization." Li Nuo said: "Civilization and technology may be able to change what you are troubled about now."
Mirror Master said: "My interest in other civilizations may not be as great as you think."
Li Nuo said from [ He took out the folding stool from the weapon box, handed it to Mirror Master, and said: "What do you think it is?" Mirror Master: "
A chair for sitting on."
"Yes~ There is no mechanical device inside it, nor There is no magic drive, but..." Li Nuo took back the folding stool and patted a table six times in succession. The explosion of the folding stool was triggered. In the firelight, Li Nuo dusted off the dirt on his body, like a The salesman raised the folding stool in his hand and said, "But it can explode."
Mirror Master: "I've seen this kind of strange thing before."
"But it's not enough to arouse your interest." Li Nuo said first. , then opened the backpack compartment, took out the elf ball, and said: "If you dare to put yourself in a state of near death, you can enter this ball. Do you want to try?" (End of this chapter
