Hewen stood in the middle of the basement, looking down at the ground.

Vortigern's power emerges from the bottom up.

From the underworld to the human world.

In fables, there are always evil forces from ancient times that are ready to move in the darkness, and one of the classic images is the evil tyrant who covets a prosperous and powerful country in the dark and humid underworld.

And for such a villain, his goals also have a certain legal legitimacy.

It is estimated that most people cannot imagine how evil wizards and vicious warlocks without royal blood can return from the underworld.

The evil dragon is another common villain image.

This kind of creature beyond the human realm symbolizes the ultimate power that cannot be competed. Many scholars who study folklore believe that this kind of reptile with the ability to fly, with bat wings and a lizard-like appearance, is similar to humans.

The most primitive, related to fear buried in genes.

Some people also believe that this ancient creature has a certain relationship with the ancient snake worship in a very distant era. It has a very special status in culture. It symbolizes greatness and wisdom, but also represents danger and madness.

Professor Hwendelenger has his own understanding.

Based on his field research, he believes that the dragon in most folk tales now will become the main villain, mainly from two guys.

The original source of evil dragon culture came from the poisonous dragon that gnawed on the roots of the World Tree - Nidhogg.

In the Doomsday War, it committed numerous crimes, which frightened the gods, and brought ultimate despair to the world with countless winged serpents.

And it was once a notorious evil dragon, but since the new gods replaced the old gods, they tried their best to erase the traces of the old gods. Nidhogg was one of them, but even if it disappeared,

In fact, many evil dragons in ancient fables still have his shadow.

Another, more recent, evil dragon that has influenced a large number of folk creations in England is Vortigern, the humble king.

Although this giant dragon and evil monarch, like Nidhogg, is no longer known to the world, what everyone hears is only an artistically processed and vilified image in the folk legend of King Arthur.

This is to prevent anyone from having undue worship of Vortigern after knowing his true deeds.

The image of King Arthur is also very vague in these stories, and is as beautiful as the hero in fairy tales, for the same purpose, to eliminate the phenomenon of worship.

The act of worshiping Vortigern will give him strength and less resistance to his return to the human world, and may cause some mortals on earth to degenerate into his minions.

The so-called corruption is, of course, that Vortigern promised them strength and lifespan to lure them to join. Vortigern would only choose those guys he thought were capable.

Likewise, he will fulfill his promise.

This is why so many people follow this evil tyrant one after another. There is only one reason, and that is that he has insight into the thoughts of all smart people. Since smart people are difficult to fool, then give them real benefits and let mortals who think they are smart

Judge and choose for yourself...

As long as Vortigern knows how much price is required, he can let them sell their souls and join the devil.

And those who value reality and think that Vortigern has given more than what they have now will naturally turn around and fall into the arms of the evil dragon without hesitation.

And the things he can give are very tempting, including strength, dragon blood, territory, power, money, treasures, and even immortality in a sense.

And although the so-called immortality that Vortigern can bestow upon the weak has flaws, he never conceals the existence of the flaws, and most mortals who have reached the end of their lives cannot refuse the immortality that has side effects.

Vortigern was not obsessed with playing tricks.

But his insight into human nature can definitely be called extraordinary cunning.

He once said to Hevin that the best lie is the sincere truth. Unlike lies weaved with the truth, Vortigern's sincerity does not contain any misleading.

He believes that sincerity can touch everyone's heart, even if there are irreconcilable contradictions between the two.

What Vortigern wants is not something that violates the bottom line of mankind, but a more brutal and authoritarian rule compared to Arthur. He wants the entire continent, but it is definitely not a desolate world.

He also found Hevin.

However, Hewen finally did not agree to his request and helped him kill King Arthur.

Hevin is not a perfect saint like Arthur, even he has a price.

But it's a pity.

Vortigern's offer was far from enough.

In fact, Hewen knew it very well.

No one can afford it at all.

die.

What a cold word.

It can separate two people forever.

Until the pain caused by not being able to see each other completely takes away the other person.

While mortals can still hope to meet in the underworld, gods are different.

Even a demigod like Vortigern has hope of returning to the human world, but it is precisely because he is not a god that he can return from the underworld.

After the death of gods, the underworld has no control.

Although it is difficult for gods to be completely killed, resurrection is also by no means a simple matter, otherwise Odin and Loki would have revived long ago, and both Ymir and Bulli would have returned from nothingness.

But today's God of Fire is still Gafnan, not the fire giant Surtur who brought destruction.

But unlike most other gods, god-kings like Odin who control death, and his scheming blood brother Loki are more likely to be resurrected from nothingness than other gods.

This is why the new gods try their best to erase the traces of the old gods.

Because they fear that their ancient predecessors will return to the world.

Whether it's Odin, Ymir, Surtur, Loki, Bree, or Njold, any one of them returns to the world in half of their peak condition.

They can take away half of the world.

As for the other half, most of it belongs to Gafunan.

Vortigern is currently hiding in the underworld.

He would always find what Enid wanted.

Even if Hevin didn't know who influenced Enid into being difficult to communicate with, it might not be that difficult to control such a person, as long as the loophole is found.

Enid will be the one in Vortigern's hands.

And Vortigern will indeed deliver what he promised to Enid.

The problem is, Enid may not really want those things.

She probably just had no choice.

Hevin is not good at enlightening others.

A person's grief cannot be solved with a few words.

Healing is a very long and difficult process.

So Hevin had no choice.

He can only go to the underworld first.
