Chapter 168: Ronald Omdis

Written in the front, a supplementary explanation for the master of mirror, Gunter Odim.
　　Gant Odim is also known as the "Master of Mirror" or "Glass Boy". He claims to be a mirror businessman and a "stray man with diarrhea".
　　 However, he is actually a powerful and terrifying and hidden existence. He trades souls with men and women, and stopping the spell of time is just a high-five for him.
　　What is his name and where he came from is a mystery. People can only guess that he is a demon with a physical entity.
　　 has such a description in the setting of "The Demon Hunter":
"There are many contact records in the book, dating back thousands of years, with different cultures and different names. However, they are all incarnations of demons. In this land, we call him Gunter Odim, occasionally called the mirror Master, or glass man."
　　Professor Shakespeare
　　 Geralt, the protagonist of the original series of games and novels, has been out of danger many times during the journey, sometimes by himself, sometimes by others for help.
　　One of the weirdest helping hands came from the Mirror Master. This story comes from the "Witcher 3" DLC Heart of Stone.
　　 The Demon Hunter was tied to an Orpheus ship and was about to be sent to the guillotine when the Mirror Master suddenly appeared.
　　 The Mirror Master reminded Geralt that they had met once, in the hotel in the White Orchard. He once suggested that Geralt go to the Nilfgaard Empire to find Yenapha.
　　 Now, He is also willing to lend a helping hand... but not without a price.
　　 If Geralt wants him to help him escape the ship, he must meet him at an intersection.
　　 After the demon hunter agreed, a strange mark appeared on his face, which felt like the master of the mirror had put a seal on him as a proof of the contract.
　　Because of the subsequent unpleasantness, the witcher once wanted to cancel the transaction with the mirror master.
　　 Then, the mirror master raised a hand, and then... stopped time.
　　 Even if Geralt had originally suspected that Odim was an evil creature, this move-and the subsequent dark conversation-undoubtedly erased his suspicion.
　　 The Mirror Master made it clear that Jero had no choice but to complete their transaction, as if to emphasize his threat and fear. The Mirror Master killed a nearby person...with only a spoon.
　　 Geralt knew he could only do it according to the words of the mirror master.
　　 But he found Professor Shakespeare. The professor claimed that Gunter Odim was a demon from another world, and he could not seal him, but he still had a way to fool him.
　　 Because the mirror master likes to gamble, as long as Geralt proposes a gambling game, he is likely to agree.
　　 After deceiving this demon creature into the game, as long as he wins the game, he will be beaten forever.
　　 It's just that today's master of mirrors is no longer Gunter Odim, but Ronald Omdis. He is no longer a gambler, and instead uses conventions to restrain humans.
　　 He who gave up the psychology of gamblers no longer has weaknesses, at least in the current world, in the world of "Witcher" in 1876, he truly became a perfect existence.
　　The water is over.
　　……
　　 "Friends from another world..."
　　 Ronald's first sentence surprised Li Nuo.
　　 "Ha, what the are you?"
　　 Ronald walked to the sofa and sat down unhurriedly, "You should know the answer to this question."
　　 Li Nuo smiled and said, "A demon from another world."
"Mr. Li Nuo, at least what you did is more like a demon than me. Your appearance made Philip blindly challenge my desire. You disrupted the underground order of Novigrad for nearly a century. Because the seeds of restlessness have brought the wealthy and peaceful country of Corvell, but..." Ronald said here, his eyes were covered in pitch-black darkness, and he smiled lightly: "You aroused my interest, this It is you who brought the greatest malice to the world."
　　 Li Nuo buried his head and said, "Sorry, I don't have the peeping ability that you can read other people's thoughts, so can you tell me more?"
Ronald grabbed it empty-handed, Felinea’s unspent coffee appeared in his hand, took a sip, sniffed the strong aroma, closed her eyes and said as if enjoying herself: "As you said, Bai The coffee in the orchard is unusual and a unique variety in the world. Just like you people, there are rare travelers who exist in all ages. No, it should be said that you are spoilers in other worlds.
I was a gambler hundreds of years ago. I lost to a witcher named Geralt, a witcher like you. I floated in the dark for a hundred years, until one day, I was People wake up..."
　　 Li Nuo interrupted: "I guess that person is from another world like me?"
Ronald kowtowed, "I can learn from that person’s brain that he knows everything about me, but I can’t read what his past experiences are, just like this person does not exist in this world. Two explanations:
　　 He is a creature higher than me, but I quickly denied it because his weakness was beyond my expectations.
　　 Or he came from another world, not other worlds created by the confluence of celestial spheres, but a space that shouldn't appear in this world, or a realm beyond this world, such as heaven or hell. "
　　 "What are you going to do that man wake up? Conquer the world?" Li Nuo smiled.
　　 Ronald said: "He just wanted my strength and my help, so I made an agreement with him, an agreement I thought he was impossible to complete."
　　 Li Nuo couldn't help but vomit: "It seems that you really have been suffocated after sleeping for hundreds of years. Can you ask what the agreement is?"
"Of course, it's not a secret." Ronald shrugged slightly, took a sip of coffee, and said: "I told him that I have something very important hidden in Valen. If he can get it back, I promise him. Request."
　　 "Are there any surprises?" Li Nuo noticed from his expression and the place Waren that this incident had a lot to do with the appearance of "The Curse of Blood".
　　 Ronald said: "Yes, I didn't think that Warren was already called Yanan at the time."
　　 "It seems that it's not long before you wake up."
"The most important thing is that this person found a place similar to the ruins in Yanan, where there are things I have never heard or seen before, like me or even higher than all things in this world, you can call those They are gods or demons.
I am very curious about these things that are beyond my cognition. I have established contact with them, but I cannot communicate with them normally, so I changed my appearance and re-played as a traveling businessman to travel the world, looking for people interested in mysterious things. While witnessing the changes in the world over the past century, I finally found an old guy who specializes in occultism more than ten years ago and asked him to study those things on my behalf. "
　　 "Master William?"
　　 Ronald smiled, and applauded: "It seems that what you understand far exceeds my expectations."
　　 "Where is the person from another world like me?"
　　 "It's a pity that he went into madness after finding the ruins under Yanan, and soon disappeared in this world. Until a few years ago, I saw him again, but he has become a vampire."
　　 "I think I know who it is." Li Nuo squinted and smiled and said, "Charon."
　　 Ronald put the cup in the air and threw his hand away, and the cup remained motionless in the air.
　　 Li Nuo picked up the coffee pot and filled it for him.
　　 "Thank you."
　　 Li Nuo turned around and put the pot on the table, turned the chair to him, sat down and said, "After the greeting, you should talk about business, right?"
　　 Ronald drank his coffee and said, "You already know about me, don't you plan to talk about yours? About that alien world."
　　 Li Nuo smiled bitterly, "You can't hear you even if I say it, like..."
　　 Then Li Nuo narrated all the rules related to the "Endless Corridor", and then asked, "What did you hear?"
　　 "Your mouth does not match what you are saying, and what you are saying is completely incomprehensible." Ronald was puzzled for the first time.
　　 Li Nuo shrugged, "That's it."
　　 "It seems that I was right. I have seen your situation in other outsiders." Ronald raised his mouth, "There are higher-level things controlling everything."
　　 Ronald did not stay on this topic for too long, and turned back to the topic, "Let’s talk about why you have been looking for me?"
After Li Nuo heard these words, he wondered in his heart. It turned out that Ronald didn't know that his purpose was to hunt down the Elders of Shadow... It may be because of the system task that Master Mirror couldn't read the relevant information. In this way, the leader of "Endless Corridor" is far above these gods or demons.
　　The leader of the space...should be the man who speaks lazily and is very awkward...
　　 After Li Nuo buried his head in deep thought, he raised his head and said: "I want you to help me kill the Elder Shadow in Corvell."
Ronald said without hesitation: "It's a simple thing that can be done." He paused, staring at Li Nuo's eyes, and said: "My request is that I want to see the world you are in. See See the master above everything."
　　 Just as Li Nuo was about to speak, Ronald stopped his words, "Don't just agree, I know you can't do it, so don't want to deceive me."
　　 Li Nuo was able to see through his thoughts, so he smiled, "Well...it seems a little difficult to deceive the devil."
　　 "I will put an eye in your body, it may help me see the external world."
　　 "We..." Li Nuo's eyes turned to Chabai subconsciously.
　　 "Of course, including your two companions."
　　 Ronald drank his coffee with a leisurely look, like a taxing landlord.
　　 Li Nuo knew what the eyes he was talking about, Yanan, the blood source, the eyes seeking truth...
　　 This condition cannot be easily agreed.
　　 Unless you are crazy.
　　 "Why are you so obsessed with wanting to know our world?"
"Ning to be the highest existence here, not to challenge the mysterious unknown, this is your thoughts I read." Ronald put the cup in the air again, "But unfortunately, I am not a human being, I am not only Infinite life, I am more eternal, I yearn for more interesting playthings, so I am even more angry with those more mysterious and powerful than me. When I think that there are other masters who despise me like I despise human beings, let me I wonder what my cognition has been for thousands of years."
　　 Li Nuo smiled bitterly, "For this reason, I am honored to be favored by you and become the chosen child~"
　　 Ronald said: "It is not accidental that you were chosen by me."
　　 "Is it fate?" Li Nuo interrupted.
　　 Ronald started and said, "It can be said that since you drank the'green grass decoction' and became a demon hunter, I will arrange everything.
The bottle of'grass decoction' I once led an adventurer to get, just to meet the demon hunter who has disappeared again, including the chance to meet Philip on the way to Novigrad, these are all established by me Our fate. "
"With all due respect, you are really wronged if you were not that month." Li Nuo could only describe it like this. "So other than that, what do you think of me? It's impossible to be a demon hunter and a stranger. Are these two ways for people from the world?"
　　 "You know the answer." Ronald just dropped such a sentence and stopped speaking, silently watching Li Nuo.
　　 "Ah..." Li Nuo sighed helplessly.
"Let me think about it. You set two tests for me. The first is Philip, to test whether my spirit will be broken by those disgusting things. Passing means at least you will inject eyes into my body in the future. At that time, I will not go crazy like Charon who summoned you;
　　 The second is to set a dark line for me to complete, that is, to see Holland, it seems simple, but actually it is quite difficult to see Holland, which is a test of execution.
　　 That's it, right? "
　　 bang, bang...
Ronald clapped his hands. "Good analytical ability. I have seen more than a dozen people from other worlds in the past century. Only you have done all of the above, but you still said one thing wrong and one last requirement. I will decide whether to agree to your request."
"What?"
　　 "Charon wanted your life, so I tried to survive."
　　 Li Nuo said with a smile but a smile: "The front is saying that the guy is better than me, the side is saying that the brave boy please face your dangers and don't escape. Courage is a necessary condition for being called to be a brave..."
　　 Ronald ignored his weird metaphor and asked gently: "Then Mr. Li Nuo, do you have any other objections?"
　　 "Objection is not counted, I want to know what Charon's ability is."
　　 Ronald chuckled, "It's boring if I tell you, let alone I don't understand the abilities of you outsiders."
　　 Li Nuo was silent, frowned for a moment, and then asked: "What's the matter with the girl named Karen who is patting the ball under the tree?"
　　 Ronald smiled and clicked the tip of his nose with his index finger, "The agreement with her is just to find some fun for myself, relieve the dullness of waiting for you, and help you move your brains by the way."
　　Poor girl...
　　 Li Nuo thought, and said in a deep voice: "Understood, I have no other questions, but first make it clear that if I kill the Elder Shadow by myself, our agreement will not be established."
　　 Ronald kowtowed, got up and said, "I will help you three more things."
He put a small bottle of black liquid on the table, "This is what I owe you in Novigrad. I wanted to give you a throwing weapon, but now facing a vampire, you need this thing more. ."
　　 Then he put the cup in Felena's hand, and stood beside Holland, pressing his palm on Holland's head.
　　 "In order to help you meet the Elder Shadow soon, I decided to sacrifice my old friend."
　　 The moment the words fell, Holland's skin began to collapse, and wrinkles appeared as if it had been drained of moisture. In just a few seconds, Holland turned into a pool of powder.
　　 "It is the fifth high-level vampire to die. I believe the shadow elder you are looking for will soon come to Pound Vines."
　　 "It's dangerous to be your friend..."
　　 Ronald ignored Li Nuo's complaints and continued: "As for the last thing I helped you, I will reunite you with your friends, so I will ask you again, do you have any other objections?"
　　 Li Nuo calmly took out a glass bottle, pointed to the liquid in the bottle and said: "The medicine of the [Gryphon decoction] you gave me at the time was wrong, and the formula was wrong."
　　 "The problem is on your side."
　　 After leaving an inexplicable word, he patted his palm.
　　 Immediately after Li Nuo only felt his eyes sway, Fei Lina's cup fell to the ground, and with a crisp sound, the cup was broken into Marger, Fei Lina also disappeared here at the same time.
　　 Chabai stared at everything around him, Fei Lina disappeared, Holland turned into a pool of powder, and Marger lying on the ground with one arm burning with flames.
"Uh……"
Marger let out a cry of pain, his right arm and neck were severely burned, and his arm was still in flames. Li Nuo and Cha Bai didn't care about three or seventy-one, kicked him to his arm. Half dead, kicked until the flame went out.
　　 "Li Nuo, what happened?" Chabai took the food and stuffed it into Marger's mouth, while holding his chin with his hand to help him chew.
　　 Li Nuo picked up the black bottle Ronald had left on the table, turned his head and said, "Get ready, the end of the script is coming."
