From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 119: The Mirror Master Helps You Reshape the Three Views

Why do these people have already entered their own territory and even their own homes without anyone else, but they still knock on the windows and doors outside their rooms?

“Please come in. Rann rubbed his temples with a headache and shouted.

A polite and magnetic voice reached Rann’s ears as the door opened, a good singing voice:

“Uninvited, I hope it didn’t disturb you, Rann. ”

Without the previous moon stepping, without the Void Choir that penetrated deep into his soul, he walked in plainly, took the chair on the other side of the room with both hands to Rann’s desk, and sat down opposite him plainly.

If you ignore this static time, he is really like an ordinary businessman who has been received by Lord Lan, and even the kind of downfall.

The two backpacks he wore across his body were too small to even change into a large bag that could wrap the contents well.

But Lane knew that if anyone really thought this man was ordinary, it would be a big mistake.

He is a dimensional tourist, he is a rule-maker, he is a mystery that no one knows.

He is the mirror master of both gods and demons, Gunter Odim.

“Long time no see, Lan. I’m so happy to see that you love the gift I gave you so much. ”

The mirror master looked at Lan’s lion eyes and said sincerely: “I also sincerely hope that you can be as happy as me.” ”

This was the first time that Len had consciously confronted a true mirror master, and he had been motionless during the last exchange.

What should ordinary people do in the face of the existence of such a ceiling of combat effectiveness, humbly praying? Sycophant fawning?

Geralt’s attitude in the original book is a good reference, the feeling of not being humble and even a little yin and yang, and the mirror master seems to like this way of communication.

In other words, Rann treated the mirror master in the same way he had treated the bard Miró Glass.

“I can’t really 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’ll be happier if you call me Gunter. ”

“So Odim—I wonder if you put a lot of thought into being able to give this gift?” ”

“First of all, with a small coincidence, the danger will become a desperate situation, and then you will give me, who is in danger, a little help to save my life, and this help also comes with a little strength; And when I have a little strength, you help me build a stronger enemy, so as to arouse my desire for more power and facilitate our subsequent transactions. ”

Rann said calmly, “If you really just repay me for my wine as you say, then you can show up early so that I can save Sintra after I recover.” But you didn’t, so you chose to make me an enemy of half a continent or even an entire continent behind my back, right?

There is simply no ‘wait until I think of the right 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 I can’t ask for any other reward, all so that your transaction can go as promised, right? ”

The mirror master sat opposite Rann, and as the lion’s pupil pierced or framed, he was not a little annoyed, but the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger, and the novelty of seeing the treasure and the joy of seeing the same kind filled his face more and more.

“No, no, no, Lan, you misunderstood me. The mirror master said sincerely.

“You only talked about the part of the transaction, and the part of the poem: the battle of the demon hunter to save the patriotic war of his relatives, how can the battle of revenge of the last prince be wonderful? But I’ve been looking forward to more new themes from you, and these are the moving stories I can share in other worlds. ”

Master Mirror sincerely corrects cognitive errors in Rann’s language, as if teaching a child how to understand the world.

“Deal? Trading in front of the story is secondary, so does that make you understand? ”

Lan’s cheeks twitched, as if he didn’t expect the mirror master to be so frank.

His fists clenched, repeatedly reminding himself that what was in front of him was the ceiling of combat effectiveness, and now was not the time to turn his face.

“Let’s get down to business – your deal. Take out that contract in your satchel, it’s about to fall out of your tattered satchel. If you need it, I can help you change to a bigger and stronger bag. ”

“This contract? It’s not for you, and we don’t need these things between us. ”

The mirror master picked up the quill in mid-air, teased the feathers on the tail, and then began to dictate the deal he had prepared for Rann:

“Like what I see in you now, I love stories. Before I get the story of you, I will also tell you a story about a hard-hearted scoundrel who is unmatched in his meanness and shame, and who refuses to pay his debts. He is a beast in human skin, feeding on the suffering of others! ”

When he said the last sentence, the mirror master gritted his teeth.

Lan was expressionless: “Although I feel that you seem to be introducing yourself, I can see that you really don’t like him very much.” How did this person mess with you? ”

The rogue and beast in the mouth of the mirror master, his name is Ogilde Everek.

He was a nomadic people, and his ancestors were made nobles in Rhedania with the Order of War, and he was one of the founders of Rhedania’s dynasty.

But such a high-ranking magnate is still in the middle of the family. Like many cliché stories, this fallen aristocrat tried to reverse the fate of his family, but the result was bankruptcy and betrayal of his lover; In the end, he had to turn to the devil in exchange for wealth and save love.

But this guy is different from the fools in other stories, although he messed up a lot of things, but he is talented in black magic and some tricks:

Before meeting the Mirror Master, he taught himself black magic to the point of “cursing others to turn into frogs”, or “summoning dark astral creatures from afar”; After making a contract with the mirror master, he quickly detected the loopholes in the contract and made the following conditions:

Ogild promised to give his 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 the three wishes of Ogild, but not by himself, but through an agent.

Rann is not the mirror master’s first choice, but here it is necessary to admire the wisdom and means of Ojild: after all, if the agent sent by the mirror master before has worked, it will not be necessary to use the current Lan.

“I need more than just a hitman, but also resourceful enough to be fearless, like – you, Rann. ”

Rann’s face was expressionless: “I am flattered by your compliments. ”

The mirror master nodded: “I can feel it.” Rann, I need an ally, a friend, and I think you’re the person I’m looking for. ”

Ran opened his arms and gestured to where he was: “But Odim, you can also see that I have a mess to deal with right now.” In your words, I’m writing a story for you, so I don’t have time to travel thousands of miles to Redania to do you a dijing that grants other people’s wishes. ”

In the face of Rann’s refusal, the mirror master seemed to have expected it, he smiled mysteriously and said:

“You forgot Ran, I told you – ‘I’ll come back to you when the time is right,’ and I never lie. ”

Listening to this, a puzzled expression appeared on Lan’s face.

The mirror master did not intend to explain, but still continued to think about himself: “I believe that this will be a smooth journey, and my commission will be a brilliant embellishment in your story.” We’ll get in touch when you get to Redania, I’m waiting for your good news. ”

After saying this, the mirror master smiled mysteriously:

“That’s right, Rann. Regarding your demon hunter mutation, you have obtained far more than you imagined, after all, how can the gift I gave you have defects? There are many more surprises waiting for you to develop. When you know what this mutation is all about, I’m sure you’ll really thank me. ”

What do you mean? Lane was about to ask again, but heard a “knock knock” knock at the door.

The sound of the quiet space made Lan suddenly attracted his attention, how could there be another person’s knock on the door where time stood still?

Then he reacted, and when he turned back, the place where the mirror master was sitting before was empty.

The gel-like sunken ink rippled and flattened, and the quill hanging in the air fell on the table with a “pop” sound.

And directly opposite Lan, I don’t know when there is an extra plain small mirror, its back does not have any decoration, only the clarity of the mirror surface can be regarded as commendable, you can buy such a mirror by finding a merchant on the road.

But this mirror will definitely not be ordinary, because he is something left by the mirror master.

Lan remembers that in the original work, the mirror master will leave a mark on the agent’s body, which is regarded as a supervision and a keepsake; Now it seems that this mirror is a token left by the mirror master, but he has not yet agreed to the commission of the counterparty?

“Knock knock. The knock on the door became even more urgent, followed by a druid voice, “Lan, are you inside?” ”

“In. Lann got up to open the door for Mossack, but the old druid stopped waiting to push the door in after receiving Rann’s response.

His expression was grim, and he was holding a letter in his hand.

“Rann, the Northern Kingdom is going to hold a war conference, and Sintra is the invited party. ”

The North-South peace talks are coming.

Hearing what Mossack said, Lann suddenly felt that things were not simple, and quickly took the letter and began to read it carefully.

To put it simply, after the Northern Kingdom blocked Nifgaard from the northern realm this time, the two sides were at a stalemate at this stage. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the next strategic plan.

Because the situation has developed at this stage, it is no longer possible for any major country in the north to decide on its own, and they have fully realized Nifgaard’s huge ambition and great strength.

If you want to chase or even defeat Nifgaard with victory, then the North needs complete cooperation; And if you want to negotiate peace with Nifgaard, then how to talk, what to pay and what to gain, these also need to be coordinated by various forces in the north.
