589. Enid and Vortigern
George agreed.
Enid also accomplished her goal.
She turned her head to look at the gloomy sky, listening to the changes in the dark clouds.
Nellie's hallucinations were contagious to her, although since Herven returned and the blood in her body was balanced, Enid rarely saw the false king.
And she also met the real king.
Only very occasionally, she could catch a glimpse of the false humble king in her peripheral vision. When he was completely separated from his mother, he appeared in front of Enid.
He tells Enid that she has embraced her true nature, so that "Vortigern" has become a part of her.
Really?
But what if this is really just my fantasy, some kind of contagious mental illness?
Why when she turned around to leave, hot blood rushed out from the underworld, and then in an instant, it gathered in her blood vessels.
Enid didn't tell anyone, but for some reason, she inherited part of Vortigern's power, which was more powerful than what he had lent to her. Although she couldn't fully control it, this power was real.
It is somewhat similar to the blood inheritance of the Knights of the Round Table, but it is not exactly the same. The transfer of power between knights is about dedication and inheritance.
But this is completely different.
When she looks in the mirror, she sometimes feels strange.
Fear comes from what happened in the past.
Her body remembered it, and it made her hair stand on end when she was in Foss and Wharton. Gradually, before she even realized it, she was no longer herself.
These changes are almost invisible and cannot be sensed. What is she? If her personality is completely different from before, is she still herself?
So she was waiting patiently, observing her own changes and whether Vortigern's blood would change her again.
Nothing happened.
It was still her standing in front of the mirror.
just like……
It was as if Vortigern was dead.
"Do you really think so?" In her mind, she imagined Vortigern standing on the street.
Before he spoke, Enid didn't even notice his presence. She later discovered that "Vortigern" had been standing there for a long time.
Enid asked:
"Are you Vortigern?"
He replied:
"No matter how I answer, I can't prove anything. Illusion and reality are indistinguishable, otherwise no one would be immersed in it.
"But this is meaningless, right? Whether I am true or false, the point is that what I tell you, even if you hear it, it has its meaning."
"So don't be obsessed with the truth. You might as well listen to my advice. Let's go to Hevin and ask him to help find Merlin. Then, complete what you have always wanted to do.
"We killed him."
Enid asked:
"Why Hevin?"
Vortigern sighed:
"Are you serious? Are you asking me? Myself, why? Maybe because you trust him more than others, maybe because he has this ability.
"Or maybe, besides him, is there anyone else who can help you? What we are discussing is not ability, but willingness. Do you really want me to say it?
"Enid, you have no one to rely on. From birth to now, you have never had a good friend who can talk to you at this time. Your parents can't help you in any way. No one will support your revenge.
"I suggest Hevin, is it because this is your only choice, or do you really plan to rely on yourself to face an extremely powerful magician and let him turn you into a frog or something else?"
Enid lowered her head in silence, seeming to be thinking about something.
Finally, she raised her head:
"Why do you think Hewen will help me?"
Vortigern shook his head helplessly:
"Really? You are still asking, hasn't he already done it? Do you want to ask me, how do I know that he will agree this time?"
Enid said:
"This is private revenge. It is neither just nor noble. It is even sinful."
Vortigern retorted:
"Revenge is naturally just in my eyes.
"Yes, we don't know the result, but I implore you to think like a normal human being and just ask him. If he refuses, you can think of other ways."
Enid's ancestors mocked:
"It seems to me that you are unwilling to trouble others, but do you really have this qualification? Stubbornness will only kill you."
Enid suddenly realized something:
"As you said, I must take revenge."
Vortigern sneered:
"You can deceive yourself, but I know what you are thinking better than anyone else. If it were someone else, would you hesitate a little after what he did?
"You are afraid and want to retreat. I understand that he is very powerful and you cannot defeat him yourself, and you are not willing to drag the only person who is willing to help you into the water.
"So you can surrender and no one will laugh at you, if you can really hold it back."
He said very proudly:
"But believe me, you can't do it. Just like a wolf is born to eat meat, this is your nature. No one knows the real you better than me."
Enid turned her head and walked silently to her residence.
