512. A condition
Nelly asked:
"Are you capable of dealing with our enemies?"
Vortigern said:
"No one is looking at us now."
Vortigern's proud look made Neely confused:
"Are you sure? What if..."
Vortigern said:
"All abilities have their limits. Except for Odin who sits on the Supreme Throne, even Heldam, the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, cannot see the nine worlds at a glance.
"Your enemy is not God, otherwise you would not have the chance to meet me."
Nelly said:
"So, actually we just need to stay here..."
Vortigern said:
"If you can hide here forever and wait for heroes to come out of nowhere to save you, of course, as long as you don't slowly rot here and become the living dead."
Veronica can't let them hide here forever, even if she can, this won't solve the problem.
Vortigern looked into Nelly's eyes:
"Is this any of your business?"
Nelly said at a loss:
"What?"
Vortigern asked:
"What does this have to do with you? In my opinion, the relationship between you two doesn't seem to be that good, and this matter has nothing to do with you."
Nelly retorted:
"My uncle's daughter also..."
Vortigern interrupted her:
"I know, but what about before that? Why did you help her, knowing how dangerous it was, and if the child had not disappeared, would you have abandoned her?"
Vortigern knew clearly just by looking at her eyes:
"Ah, you are that kind of person, how do you say, what do they call you? By the way...
"Good man.
"You are a good person, right? The kind of guy who can't control himself when he sees others in danger, but you obviously want to save people, but you are restricted by various bottom lines, which makes your behavior and thoughts split.
"You know what? If I wanted to, with the same ability, I could save more people."
Nelly nodded:
"But that's also why you won't save people."
Vortigern said:
"Well, you remind me of a person. I'm not saying that you can be compared. It's just that you are very similar in very trivial ways.
"But you disgust me so much that I would be out of here if I hadn't happened to like Enid so much.
"You didn't plan to give her body to me, right?"
Nelly didn’t deny it:
"Did you see it?"
Vortigern said:
"People like you, even if their hope is as weak as a firefly, will try to save everything. Although you are nobler than some self-righteous good people, you can't save anyone.
"People like you will only let yourself fall into the abyss."
Nelly said:
"So King Arthur is like this too?"
Vortigern denied:
"You are completely different. You are just a stupid child, but she is a wise king. She looks like the same behavior, but the meaning of the same behavior is completely different."
Vortigern stopped talking about King Arthur and turned to
"Since you won't hand over Enid, what are you going to do in exchange for my support?"
Nelly said in surprise:
"Are you willing to give up Enid?"
Vortigern said indifferently:
"Even if I want it, you will find a way to stop me. In this case, I might as well just give up."
Things went smoothly beyond everyone's expectation.
Vortigern continued:
"Don't be in a hurry to be happy. What I want is no less than what I originally wanted. First of all, the first condition? It is also a necessary condition to protect you.
"Since his tentacles can't reach into the underworld? It's impossible for him to step into my country, so I only need a piece of land, a piece of land that belongs to you.
"Sacrifice it to me? Are any of you nobles from England? As long as you sign a contract with me, my kingdom will appear on the ground? Help you hide from the eyes of the enemy."
Vortigern looked at Veronica.
Veronica was ready to agree.
Nelly rushed:
"What exactly is going on? Why can you eliminate the enemy's ability to predict by giving you a piece of land?"
Vortigern said:
"Not any land? But a land belonging to the nobles of England? And preferably a child of royal blood? For example, the prince's daughter.
"After she hands over the land to me, can I penetrate my own kingdom into the ground and form a special dimension that overlaps with reality? From a magical point of view, if you are in my dimension, you will not
Not in the real world, that is to say, they have no way of knowing your actions.
"And this dimension will exist centered on Enid, and this is also related to our second step.
"I will give Enid the ability to fight head-on against her enemies."
Nelly asked in a solemn voice:
"So, what's the price?"
Vortigern replied:
"Once she makes a promise, she will do one thing for me."
Nelly asked:
"What about the range?"
Vortigern said:
