Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 274 Lani's Mission and Mythical Mission

Wayne reached out and took Lani's doll in his hand, casually fiddling with it a few times.

He discovered that the doll's material was very special. Although it looked like wood, it felt warm and smooth to the touch, like human skin, and was not cold at all. Instead, it felt like a living thing.

Anyone who has played with the Old Man's Ring knows that the puppeteers in the Borderlands are quite skilled. They are adept at using various materials from the Borderlands to create puppets, and even use living people as materials to create puppet life through magic.

The puppet in Wayne's hand utilizes this technology.

Lani, as one of the three divine children, is known as the Princess of the Moon, and her own status is at least that of a demigod.

This princess was not only exceptionally skilled in magic, but also possessed a mind and character that were unparalleled. She saw through the influence of the Supreme Will on the Borderlands and recognized the oppression of the Golden Law on all living beings, so she resolved to make a change.

She could even be described as the mastermind behind the changes to the entire border region. She possesses both strength and skill, as well as stunning beauty, making her one of the most popular characters in the entire game.

As Wayne fiddled with the dolls and reminisced about the joy of playing with the old man ring in the past, a husky yet alluring voice entered his mind.

"How interesting, I was actually blinded by some strange power and then left Azeroth."

"Did you bring me here, mortal?"

Upon hearing this voice, Wayne's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse the system as a rip-off.

He didn't answer, nor did he listen to Xaratas's rambling any further. He casually took out the protective ring he had just obtained, then stored the Dark Empire Blade, which exuded a dark and ominous aura, into the ring and put it into his pouch.

The reason he didn't put it in his spatial bracelet was because it contained a large number of dangerous items, including Orc spores. If something went wrong, it would be a huge problem.

Whether it was the spatial ring's barrier or not, the ancient god's dagger stopped making a sound after he threw it into the ring.

While Wayne breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a bit troubled.

It's really frustrating that he finally got a powerful weapon from an epic chest, but he can't even use it.

Of course, maybe that ancient god weapon isn't as dangerous as he imagines, and he's just worrying unnecessarily. After all, even Shadow Priests in the game can use it safely, and she even relied on it to defeat the Burning Legion.

However, Wayne was naturally cautious and didn't want any accidents to happen. He was just a witcher, and his magical knowledge was not extensive enough. He had to invite a real magic master to study it before he could confirm its safety.

As Wayne was thinking this, he suddenly realized that the doll he was holding had opened its eyes at some point.

Although only the left eye was open, its bright, jewel-like pupils seemed to possess a captivating magic, filled with a divine indifference and rationality that made people unable to resist being mesmerized.

Wayne remained silent, staring at the doll for over ten seconds. Then, the doll's lips moved a few times, and a clear, melodious voice, devoid of much emotion, reached his ears.

"Ah, what a strange world!"

"I didn't sense any trace of law, nor did I notice any force that brought my clone here."

"Stranger, where am I?"

"Why is my doll appearing in front of you?"

Upon hearing Lani's words, which were both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, Wayne quickly considered the matter for a few seconds before deciding not to seal the doll away with the Dark Empire's Blade.

Instead, he placed it on the table in the room, sat opposite it, and carefully chose his words:

"Hello, ma'am."

"You can call me Wayne. This is the world I live in."

"Can you tell me your name?"

"Once you tell me your name, I will tell you why you came here."

Upon hearing Wayne's request, Lani's doll stood up from the table, first surveying her surroundings, then standing in the middle of the table, tilting her head slightly to meet Wayne's eyes for a few seconds, and said:

"Unreasonable people, they stole my doll here silently and even asked for my name."

"However, if you absolutely must know my name, you can call me Witch Rani."

"I am a magician, and I am very interested in your world. I want to study the laws governing your world. If you can help me understand your world, I can also help you with some things within my capabilities."

Hearing Lani's somewhat arrogant reply, Wayne couldn't help but smile, and his mind drifted back to the happy times he used to play with the old man's ring.

It has to be said that first impressions are really important. In fact, compared with the remnant soul of the Old God, Sataras, Lani is also a demigod from another world. Judging from her actions in the borderlands, she is not the kind of kind and innocent goddess.

However, every player who has ever been a Faded One will definitely not dislike Lani and will naturally have a good impression of her.

Lani's doll was very perceptive. Although she didn't know the principle behind it, she noticed the strange smile on Wayne's face. Gu Bo's previously calm eyes seemed to show a hint of annoyance, and he said in a somewhat angry tone:

"You rude bastard, what are you laughing at?"

Upon hearing this, Wayne immediately composed himself. Not wanting to leave a bad impression on Lani, he said very politely:

"Miss Lani, the reason your doll is here is actually..."

"It's because I made a pact with an extremely powerful being, and it rewards me whenever I complete certain tasks."

"This being's power pervades countless worlds, and it rewards me with items of varying quality according to the difficulty of the tasks it assigns me."

"And this puppet of yours is a reward given to me because I defeated an orc army."

Wayne's words were very polite, but they also revealed several layers of meaning.

Besides implying that he has powerful connections and a strong background, it also suggests that he is very strong and capable of defeating an army by himself.

Although Lani possesses the status of a divine child, she has lost her own body, and this is not a border region. The different world rules have greatly reduced her power, making it a place where she can not use her power to do whatever she wants.

Lani's doll remained silent for more than ten seconds, her jewel-like eyes flashing with an unknown emotion.

After a while, she continued to stare at Wayne, then gently brushed the tabletop with the doll's arm.

A bell engraved with intricate inscriptions appeared on the table.

Lani parted her lips slightly and said in a calm voice:

"It seems you're a mercenary. That's good."

"This bell of mine can summon a spirit warhorse, which is an excellent mount, much more powerful than an ordinary warhorse."

"I'm giving it to you as a gift to offset the reward of this doll."

"Furthermore, I hope you will accept my request, as I said before, to help me understand the laws governing this world."

"After you complete the commission, you will also receive a generous reward."

As Lani finished speaking, Wayne suddenly heard a system notification.
