The person making the wish had a playful look in his eyes, and seemed very sincere: "Get rid of the monster that killed the innocent girl, maybe a new poem praising you will appear in Novigrad."

Lan looked at the other person for two seconds, then raised his head and said, "Okay. This is your first wish. You have two more."

Olgierd shook his head. "Like I said, Lannister. Don't be so impatient. Give the story more suspense and give life more expectations. Complete this task first, and I will tell you the rest."

The system prompt sounded at this time.

[Mission - Heart of Stone - Part 1 - Completed]

[Character level increase +1]

[Discovery Mission - Heart of Stone 2:

After a tortuous journey, you finally arrived in Novigrad, and you were given a chivalrous mission - to destroy the huge and unknown "Toad Prince", and shatter the innocent girl's dream. Things seem to be going smoothly, but please remember: the person who trades with the devil is definitely not a good person.

…

After Lane left, Ogierd admired the art collection in the room for a while with a dull look on his face.

What just happened didn't seem to cause any waves in his life. He cared about neither Lann nor the Mirror Master.

There was no fluctuation in his emotions, as if his heart had long been frozen into a cold stone.

His appreciation of art, his destruction of art, his attitude toward Lan, his provocation to the Mirror Master, and his desire to pretend to have fun were all just his attempts to stir up his own emotions.

But in fact, Ogierd's heart was just like his expression at the moment when he looked at the stone statue that had shattered into pieces on the ground, without any fluctuations.

He wondered what it would take to shatter his heart of stone like this statue had, and to be honest, he was looking forward to it.

He strode out of the collection room. After the Cintrians left, the wild boar soldiers outside returned to the manor and began to sing and drink. When they saw Ogierd coming down, they all stood up and shouted:

"Chief Olgierd, may you live a long life!"

"No! It's long live, long live the chief!"

"Long live the Chief! Long live the Chief!"

"Long live the Chief!"

Ogierd looked at the wild boar soldiers gathered around him. The fanaticism on their faces was real. They were loyal and willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

They gather around themselves, bring themselves strength, bring themselves wealth, and bring themselves power.

But Ogierd knew better that these soldiers were loyal to him because of the influence of the devil. Otherwise, why did he never exude such "personal charm" before making a deal with the devil, and instead had no relatives and his family fell into poverty?

The young man who had just pretended to be Ogierd outside the manor was laughing wildly at this moment. He shouted, "Chief, come and drink with us!"

"Ha." Olgierd's heart was as hard as a rock, but he still smiled. "It seems I have no choice."

"Ha!" The young man laughed loudly and shouted impatiently to a neatly dressed woman in the house, "Why don't you go and pour wine for our chief? And prepare some snacks for him!"

The woman who was being called out was fair-skinned, well-mannered, and looked out of place among the Wild Boar Army.

She is the daughter of the owner of the manor. Her father committed suicide, which resulted in her being almost caught by debt collectors to pay off the debts. It was Ogierd who saved her to some extent.

The daughter of the manor owner looked at the wild boar army timidly, and was about to leave, but in a panic she bumped into the arms of a wild boar soldier. The drunken rough man immediately touched her all over, causing her to scream.

Olgierd suddenly got angry when he saw this: "Let her go. Is this how you treat the daughter of the manor lord?"

An ordinary person might think that Ogierd had feelings for the daughter of the manor owner, but the Boar Guards who were close to him knew that this was not the case.

The young man stepped forward and kicked the half-drunk roughneck away, and shouted at the panicked daughter of the manor owner: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

The woman ran away in a hurry. Her posture formed a sharp contrast with the heroic spirit of the Wild Boar Army women, which attracted waves of laughter.

Ogierd became bored again. He looked at the wild boars who were as happy as if it was the last day of the world, and rubbed his head with a headache.

He suddenly had a good idea that he thought could bring him a little joy.

Swords, blood, and maybe a little conspiracy.

"Everyone!" Olgierd shouted, standing up.

The chief's voice quickly attracted everyone's attention. The people who were still reveling suddenly quieted down, looking forward to Ogierd's next words seriously.

"The Lannister who came today wanted to take my life. He declared war."

The Wild Boars reacted extremely violently to this, and several people shouted at the time: "I will take people to kill Lannister now!"

"Kill the Lannisters!"

"How can a group of lions without a home defeat a wild boar?"

Olgierd looked at the high morale of the crowd with satisfaction and said loudly: "Yes! We are now at war again! So according to custom - let's light a big fireworks!"

The Wild Boar Army cheered, as if they had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

They used all their strength to smash everything in the house, splashed expensive wine, and chopped everything in sight with knives, swords, and axes as if they were executing livestock.

By the time everyone was outside, the entire manor had turned into a huge bonfire, with broken wood burning fiercely. The smoke and flames rising into the sky could be seen clearly even by people as far away as Novigrad.

Olgierd stood closest to the flames, with no one around him, because the heat wave was close enough to burn anyone.

But the leader of the wild boar army opened his arms, absorbed in feeling the burning and pain in his body, his face full of ecstasy.

Behind him the Boars chanted wildly, "Kill Lannister!"

"Kill the Lannisters!"

"Cut off his head and make it into a wine jug!"

In this scene that seemed like a swearing-in ceremony, an incompatible voice suddenly sounded.

With a loud bang, a strong wind blew, and a fiery red portal opened behind the Wild Boar Army. A sinister voice came from inside:

"I seemed to hear you shouting just now - kill Lannister?"

The man who came out of the portal was wearing fine and well-maintained iron armor, and he looked very good.

In sharp contrast are his face and his legs: one-third of his face is destroyed by scars, and he only has one leg left, with the other side having only a metal prosthetic limb.

The sudden appearance of the warlock attracted the attention of everyone present, and the boar army immediately transitioned from revelry to sword drawing.

Only Olgierd's expression remained relaxed.

"Well, well, today is indeed a bit strange for me." Olgierd turned around. "Demon hunters, demons, and finally warlocks? I have seen everything."

He looked up and down at Reigns's tattered body. "Don't tell me it was Lannister who made you like this. I would like him more then."

Reigns gnashed his teeth at the other party's teasing, but he suppressed his anger and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Lannisters and I have a big feud, and I am looking for friends everywhere. Do you want to join me?"

Before Olgierd could reply, a dagger suddenly appeared at his throat.

The dagger pierced into the back of his neck and came out from his jaw. The gushing blood foam blocked Ogierd's mouth, and the answer he wanted to give to Reence was drowned out by a series of "huhu" sounds.

The one holding the dagger was the manor owner's daughter, her eyes full of hatred.

After "killing" Olgierd, she slowly fell to the ground as if she had gotten her revenge, crying sadly, "You destroyed my family!"

Reence was stunned, and for the first time he doubted the man who gave him the information to unite with Ogierd; he looked back at the disappeared portal, as if considering whether to go back.

But Ogierd did not fall down as most people expected. His reaction at this moment was as if he was just bitten by a mosquito. He even tried to reach the dagger that pierced his back with his right hand.

After finding it inconvenient to exert force, he signaled to a Wild Boar Army guard beside him.

The guard stepped forward and pulled out the dagger with ease, watching without surprise as the wound on his chief's neck healed to its original state within a breath.

The wild boar army's eyes became even more fanatical.

"Your home no longer belongs to you." Olgierd waited for a moment, until he was sure he could speak normally, then he turned to the daughter of the manor owner. "I saved this manor from the creditors and saved you, so the manor has been mine for a long time."

He stared at the trembling woman with emotionless eyes: "Before, I felt that I should maintain the dignity of the manor owner, so I always maintained the bottom line of respect for you. But now you have taken the initiative to give up my respect - you have committed a crime, so you should be tried."

Olgierd waved to the Boar Army men who were eager to try. "She's yours."

Reens stared in amazement at the twists and turns of the scene before him, watching the woman being dragged away amid her wailing.

Reens turned his gaze to his mission target and heard the other party say:

"Tell me about your plan to deal with the Lannisters. I am very interested."

…

In the city of Novigrad, outside Temple Island.

This time there was no king or lord to entertain Lan and his party.

The Eternal Flame was obviously still somewhat wary of them, and did not arrange accommodation for them on the Temple Island, nor did they give them any special treatment because of their noble status.

If Vizimir II came in person, the Eternal Flame might still give him some face.

As for other kings, unless they need a favor, the Eternal Fire will not show any inclination towards them.
