Chapter 119 Master Mirror Helps You Reshape Your Three Views
Chapter 119 The mirror master helps you reshape your three views
Why do these people have already entered their territory and even entered their homes as if no one else had come, but they still had to knock on the window and door outside their room in one go?
"Please come in." Lane rubbed her temples with a headache and shouted loudly.
A polite and magnetic voice came into Lann's ears while opening the door, a good singing voice:
"Come uninvited, hope it didn't bother you, Lane."
Without the moon coming before, and without the Void Choir that penetrated deep into the soul, he walked in just plain, carried the chair on the other side of the room with both hands to Lann's desk, and sat opposite him unsurprisingly.
If he ignores this still time, he is really like an ordinary businessman who was received by the lord Lane, and even a kind of down-and-out.
The two backpacks he had cross-body were too small, and they didn't even change to a large bag that could wrap the things inside, looking very shabby.
But Lann knew that if someone really thought this man was ordinary, it would be a big mistake.
He is a tourist of the dimension, a rulemaker, and a mystery that no one knows.
He is the mirror master who is both a god and a demon - Gonte Odim.
"Long time no see, Lane. I'm so happy to see you like the gift I gave you so much."
The mirror master looked at Lane's lion's eyes and said sincerely: "I sincerely hope you can be as happy as me."
This was the first time Lann was consciously facing a real mirror master. During the last communication, he couldn't move at all.
What should ordinary people do when facing such a combat power ceiling? Pray humbly and flatter and please?
Geralt's attitude in the original work is a good reference, and the feeling of being neither humble nor arrogant or even a bit sarcastic, the mirror master seems to like this way of communication.
In other words, Lane treats the mirror master with the previous attitude towards the bard Miro Glass.
"I really can't say I don't like it, but I can't say I like it either." Lane looked at the mirror master expressionlessly, "Odim- Can I call you that?"
"I'd be happier if you call me Gant."
"Then Odym-I want to know, did you spend a lot of effort to be able to give this gift?"
"First, just a small coincidence, danger will turn into desperate situations. Then you will give me a little help to save my life, and this help also comes with a little power. When I have a little power, you will help me establish a stronger enemy, which arouses my desire for stronger power and promotes our subsequent transactions."
Lane said calmly: "If you really just repay my wine as you said, then you can show up early so that I can save Sintra after restoration. But you don't, so you chose to let me bear the hatred of the country and the family, and be enemies of half of the continent or even the entire continent, right?
There is nothing at all, ‘When I have thought of the right reward, you will appear again’. You have prepared a reward for me from the beginning because I will definitely ask for that reward, and I cannot ask for any other reward. Everything is for your transaction to go as promised, right?"
The mirror master sat opposite Lane. As the lion-eyed man exposed or framed him, he was not angry at all. Instead, his smile became louder and louder. The novelty of seeing treasures and the joy of seeing similar people were rippling on his face.
"No, no, Lann, you misunderstood me." Master Mirror said sincerely.
"You only talk about the transaction part, and the poem part: The battle of defending the country by the witch hunter to save his relatives, how could the battle of revenge for the last prince come in great success? I have always been looking forward to more new themes on you, these are moving stories that I can share when I go to other worlds."
The mirror master sincerely corrected the cognitive errors in Lan's language, as if teaching a child how to understand the world.
"Trading? Trading is secondary in front of the story. Can you understand this?"
Lane's face was thrusting, and she didn't seem to expect the mirror master to be so honest.
His fists tightened, repeatedly reminding himself that the combat power ceiling was in front of him, and it was not the time to turn against each other.
"Let's get to the point - your deal. Take out the contract in your shoulder bag, it almost fell out of your ragged shoulder bag. If you need it, I can help you change to a bigger and stronger bag."
"This contract? This is not for you, and we don't need these things."
The mirror master picked up the quill in the air, teased the feathers at the tail, and then began to dictate the transaction he prepared for Lane:
"Just like what I see in you now, I love stories. Before I get the stories in you, I will tell you a story first: about a rogue with a skeleton who is unattainable and shameless, and he refuses to repay his debts. He is a wild beast in human skin, feeding on the pain of others!"
When he said the last sentence, the mirror master gritted his teeth.
Lane had a blank expression: "Although I feel like you are introducing yourself, you can see that you really don't like him very much. Why did this person mess with you?"
The rogue and beast mentioned by Master Mirror is called Ogilde Iverick.
He was born into a nomadic people and his ancestors were named a nobleman for his war merits in Redania. He was one of the founders of the dynasty of Redania.
However, such a noble family was in the end. Like many clichéd stories, this declining nobleman tried to reverse the fate of his family, but the result was bankruptcy and his lover's betrayal; in the end, he had to seek help from the demons in exchange for wealth and win back love.
But this guy is different from the idiots in other stories. Although he messed up a lot of things, he is considered talented in black magic and some tricks:
Before meeting Master Mirror, he taught himself black magic to the point where he "cursed others to become frogs" or "summon dark astral creatures from afar". After contracting with Master Mirror, he quickly noticed the loopholes in the contract and made the following conditions:
Oujild promised to hand over his soul to the Master of Mirror to return status and wealth. However, if the Master of Mirror wants to obtain this soul and complete the contract, he must first fulfill Oujild's three wishes, but they cannot be implemented by him, but must be through an agent.
Lann is not the first choice for Master Mirror, but here we must praise Ogilde's wisdom and means: after all, if the agent sent by Master Mirror before played a role, then the current Lann would not be used.
"I need not only thugs, but also smart enough and fearless, like - you, Lann."
Lane looked expressionless: "I am flattered by your praise."
The mirror master nodded: "I can feel it. Lann, I need an ally and a friend, and I think you are the one I am looking for."
Lann opened his arms and signaled his location: "But Odim, you see, I'm having a mess to deal with now. In your words, I'm writing stories for you, so I don't have time to travel thousands of miles to Redania to be a dice for you to fulfill others' wishes."
Facing Lane's rejection, Master Mirror seemed to have expected it. He smiled mysteriously and said:
"Did you forget Lann, I told you--'I will come to you again when the time is right', I never lie."
Hearing this, Lann's face showed a confused expression.
But the mirror master did not intend to explain, and continued to say to himself: "I believe this will be a smooth journey, and my commission will also be a brilliant embellishment in your story. Let's contact you after you arrive in Ridania. I'll wait for your good news."
After saying this, Master Mirror smiled mysteriously:
"By the way, Lane. Regarding your witch hunter mutation, you have obtained far more than you imagined. After all, how can the gift I give you have defects? There are more surprises waiting for you to develop. After you know the entire content of this mutation, I believe you will truly thank me."
What does it mean? Lane was about to ask again, but heard a "dongdongdongdongdong" knock at the door.
The sound of the quiet space suddenly attracted Lane's attention. How could another person knock on the door when time was still?
Then he reacted and turned around. The place where Master Mirror sat was sitting was empty.
The gel-like ink rippled and became flat after rippling. The quill hanging in the air fell on the table and made a "pop".
And directly opposite Lann, there was a small plain mirror that had been added. There was no decoration on the back of it, and only the clear and transparent mirror was worthy of it. You could buy such a mirror if you just find a businessman on the road.
But this mirror is definitely not ordinary, because it is something left by the mirror master.
Lan En remembers that in the original work, the mirror master would leave a mark on the agent, which is considered a supervision and a token. Now it seems that this mirror is the token left by the mirror master for himself, but he has not agreed to the other party’s entrustment yet?
"Dongdongdongdongdong." The knock on the door became even more rapid, and then the druid's voice came, "Lann, are you inside?"
"Oh." Lane stood up and wanted to open the door for Mossack, but the old druid stopped waiting to push the door and enter after receiving Lane's response.
His expression was very serious, and he was holding a letter in his hand.
"Lann, the Northern Kingdom is going to hold a war meeting, and Sintra is the invited party."
The peace talks between the north and the south are here.
When Lann heard what Mossack said, he felt that things were not simple, so he quickly took the letter and started reading it carefully.
Simply put, this time after the Northern Kingdom blocked Niphgad from the northern border, the two sides were at a stalemate at this stage. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the next strategic deployment.
Because the situation has developed at this stage, it is no longer possible for any major power in the north to decide by itself. They have completely realized Nifgaard's huge ambitions and powerful strength.
If you want to take advantage of the victory and even defeat Niphgaard, then the northern border needs thorough cooperation; and if you want to negotiate with Niphgaard, then how to talk, what you have to pay and what you have to get, these also require the coordination of various forces in the northern border.
