At this moment, Lan En was sitting in the room where he and his group had temporarily set up a courtyard, with his head down in deep thought.

Ogierd's wish is somewhat different from the original. According to the original game, his first wish should not be the current [Toad Prince], but the famous [Party on Earth].

In the original book, this [Toad Prince] quest was not Ogierd's wish, but a quest he posted on a notice board in the form of a commission to attract players to contact him.

But this was Lann's first encounter with him, so it made sense that this was Ogierd's first urgent task.

However, Lann did not intend to kill or capture the giant toad rashly, because Lann knew its true identity - the prince of the distant foreign country of Orphir.

Ofir is a country outside the continent. In the original book, this prince came to Oxburgh for further studies, but ended up becoming Olgierd's love rival and was cursed to become a giant toad.

Lane didn't intend to kill him.

If Lann remembered correctly, Ophir still had quite a few local specialties, some of which could greatly increase the power of him and even the entire force.

He had a plan in mind, but he didn't know how to contact this mysterious country on the other side of the ocean.

Now that there is such a good opportunity in front of him, how could Lan be willing to kill the prince as if he were a monster?

What a waste.

However, Lann had to complete the "Heart of Stone" series of quests because its rewards were so rich. Just meeting Olgierd allowed him to level up directly.

Lann estimated that these three wishes were three main quests, each of which could upgrade him to a higher level; plus the series of quest rewards after Mirror Master completed the contract, perhaps Lann could be upgraded to another four character levels!

Therefore, Lann must complete this series of tasks, and Lann must fulfill Olgierd's three wishes.

But it is not Lan's style to be led by the enemy. Reality is not like a game. Who knows if there will be other variables.

So Lann now wants to try whether he can complete this series of tasks at the pace he wants to maximize his benefits.

It's not like Lann hadn't thought about playing word games, like taking an ordinary toad back to fool Ogierd, or taking the Toad Prince back but not giving it to him.

But after careful consideration, he rejected it. After all, he was facing a real person instead of AI. Who knew if Ogierd would do something weird in the subsequent wishing process and let things get out of control?

After a long time, Lann finally made up his mind and planned to talk a little bit about the beginning of it all, and also to verify some of his inner guesses.

He took out the ordinary mirror from the [Inventory] and whispered:

"Mirror Master."

"I'm here."

A polite voice was heard outside the door, followed by a rhythmic knock.

This time there was no time to stop, but it was clear that no one in the room was aware of this person's arrival, and the Mirror Master started to play something new.

Lan En rubbed his brows with a headache: "Come in!"

The dusty demon trader slowly walked into the room and found a chair for himself.

"Why didn't I see you knocking on the door at Olgierd's before? Why are you so polite here?"

Master Mirror said as a matter of course: "You are a friend, he is a debtor, you are different."

"Then why did you come to me again so soon? Is Olgierd's wish beginning to bother you? I must remind you: Lan, your mission has become more difficult, and Olgierd seems to be planning to embarrass you."

Lann raised an eyebrow: "Difficult?"

Master Mirror said: "Your enemy has found him, and it seems that he has a special source of information."

Enemy? Lan En couldn't think of it for a moment.

Although he has always been kind to others, due to various complicated reasons, there are still many people who want to kill him. Not to mention the various political forces, there are also many people who are plotting to get the blood of the ancients.

Master Mirror was understanding and pointed Lan in the direction: "The one you just beat recently."

Oh, Reigns.

Lann rubbed his brows in pain. It turned out that this little devil was really difficult to deal with. How did he know that he was now an enemy of Olgierd? Did he get the information from Vizimir II?

Is Viggofortz, who is behind him, really so powerful? What happened to Dipang and Philippa? Did they do it on purpose or by accident?

Lan rubbed his face and managed his facial expressions.

"This bad news comes at the right time," Lane said word by word. "I have already had this idea: I don't want to do this anymore."

"Ogierd has kept this wish from me. I think this wish will bring me unexpected troubles. Before I learn the full story, I intend to refuse this mission."

"I am tired of being led around by the nose. Olgierd is throwing out wishes one after another, and I am just wasting my time with him day by day? I have big things to do."

When Lan En was speaking, he was carefully observing the Mirror Master's eyes, but there was no emotion in those eyes. The only thing that could be seen was Lan En himself reflected in the pupils.

"Lan, if you are upset because you were kept in the dark, then I can help you resolve your confusion first."

Mirror Master's voice was unusually calm, as if he was certain that Lann would eventually take back what he had just said.

"Ogierd once fell in love with a beautiful lady named Alice. But Olgierd's family fell into poverty and his business went bankrupt many times, so Miss Alice's parents didn't think much of him. Instead, they favored a prince from Orphir and made an engagement with him. Olgierd hated the prince to the core because of this."

"At first he wanted to kill the prince directly, but this could not satisfy his twisted desire for revenge. So he taught himself black magic and cursed the prince into an ugly toad - his superb talent for black magic must be praised here."

"Now perhaps the prince has been satisfied with his suffering, or perhaps he has finally grown tired of looking at this ugly toad, and wants to use you to complete this dishonorable revenge."

Master Mirror looked at Lan with a smile: "How is this story? Do the twists and turns of the plot and the distortion of human nature make you feel excited and feel the beauty of the world?"

Lann shook his head. "I sincerely hope that my life will not be so 'wonderful' - that is to say, if I deal with this toad, it will essentially mean killing the prince of another country. Not only will I involve an innocent person in our feud, but I may also gain a powerful enemy for nothing, right?"

"No one is innocent, Lan. Giving your life for love is a worthy death, isn't it? You need to get rid of these unnecessary moral burdens." Master Mirror taught earnestly, "Besides, how can an enemy in the distance compare to one right in front of you? You have to think clearly."

Lann paused: "Are you finally threatening me?"

Master Mirror raised his hands. "No, no, I mean the others. What I mean is: you need my power to deal with them, so you have to help me collect the debt as soon as possible."

Lan looked at Master Mirror for a long time, and began to think as if he was finally convinced.

"The wish he made was for me to bring the Toad Prince back, right?"

Master Mirror nodded, and then kindly reminded: "But he will still kill the Toad Prince later, and maybe in a more cruel way."

Lan shook his head and began to put forward his own guesses. This was the main purpose of his calling Master Mirror over.

Unlike Geralt who works alone and is controlled by others, Lann does not want to be led by the nose and just carry out quests. He wants to try to complete this series of quests in a more efficient way and get as much as possible from it beyond the system rewards.

In a highly open and free world, is there anything wrong with players doing some fancy things?

It is true that he was unwilling to hurt the Toad Prince due to moral considerations, but it was more of an excuse for him to use as a starting point for his subsequent actions.

"As long as I bring the Toad Prince back, the mission will be completed. So is there a possibility that when I bring the Toad Prince back, I also have the conditions to fulfill his remaining two wishes, so that all three of his wishes can be fulfilled in an instant, reaching your contract standard, and then you can take his soul away, making the ending 'happy for everyone'."

After hearing what Lann said, Master Mirror showed a look of surprise on his face, and seemed very happy about Lann's change of thinking mode, but he said regretfully:

"Your idea is too immature. You want to complete three wishes at once? This would indeed be very convenient, and it would also avoid Olgierd's current embarrassment to you. But Olgierd only makes one wish at a time, so you can only do them one by one."

"I have always had a question about this," Lann said. "With your ability, you must be able to know what Olgierd's three wishes are. You can read minds, see the future, and even induce him to make a wish. I don't believe that you can't think of a way that even I can think of. Why do you have to make simple things complicated?"

Master Mirror shook his head: "That would be against the rules, and it would be too boring."

I see, it's another fun person who forces himself to have fun, right? And Lann thinks that Olgierd's soul is a minor matter, and the Mirror Master prefers to watch his spokesperson and Olgierd's battle of wits and courage, so he lets everything develop.

"What if I say that I can accurately predict Olgierd's remaining two wishes? Under this premise, will my plan work?"

"You want to fulfill his wish before he says it?" The Mirror Master's eyes finally changed, and his tone became doubtful:

"You can read minds? But even for a warlock, the mind reading he performs is messy and disorganized. It cannot accurately locate Olgierd's wishes. Moreover, he is immune to magic because of my contract..."

He thought of something, and his eyes suddenly locked onto Lann, revealing the look he gave to a treasure: "You didn't use magic, but other skills and talents, right? You explored Olgierd before I realized it and before I could react?"

Master Mirror stood up and looked at Lan in amazement.

Lan nodded and asked, "So I only have one question here. Is it possible that Olgierd deliberately didn't tell me his wish to embarrass me, or that he just blurted out some random wish, such as asking me to die immediately - after all, according to what you said, he has joined forces with my enemies."

Master Mirror seemed to be absorbed in observing Lann, and after a while he replied:

"He won't fail to tell me his wish. If he does, he will violate the contract and I can take him away directly. You don't have to worry about him asking you to die. The wish he tells me must be the most real and urgent wish that comes to his mind at that moment. This is determined by his current state and his heart."

"Unless you did something that shook his heart of stone and made Olgierd hate you more than anything in the world. To be honest, I'm looking forward to that."

Looking at the confident Mirror Master, Lann suddenly had an illusion: Could it be that the reason why Ogierd has been able to live freely until now is also the result of the Mirror Master's indulgence?

This man who thought he had tricked the devil, didn't know that he was actually just the mouse being tricked by the cat. He used his arrogance and indulgence to create a rare character for the Mirror Master and write a different story?

But this is a good thing for Lann now.

Since the Mirror Master also left a backup plan to prevent Ogierd from changing his "true wish" at will, Lann can continue to act according to his own plan.

Lann shook his head and said, "Then let's deal with Olgierd's first wish first: 'Catch the Toad Prince'. Do you have any suggestions? For example, a technique to shrink the monster and put it into a glass bottle."

Master Mirror spread his hands and said helplessly: "I can't help you realize these wishes - this is the rule. But why don't you ask your friends around you? They may be able to give you advice."

Lann frowned. Who could he ask about this? The magic conch?
