Inside a lavish dinner completely in contrast with the campfire outside , two people were sitting at the two ends of a very long table made of many small tables , there being a limited amount of lighting equipment made the place seem dark and depressing . Nemo has kept himself busy with the dishes since he came .
" So , Mister ... "
" Nemo "
Nemo answered in a casual manner while tasting royal delicacies like a barbarian .
" Yes Nemo , I am Cervantes Migarth the king of Pontus , "
Nemo is mildly aware of what is coming so he gently drowns the last deep fried potato something with a health gulp of tea . Before Cervantes could utter another word Nemo cuts him off .
" You may have time for an elaborate conversation in which you will constantly try to probe my secrets , I do not have such luxury . Yes the man covered in lightning was me , can I go now "
Cervantes was taken aback by such a rash individual while Nemo was being smug inside .
" Since you admit it , how are you gonna compensate the loss of an irreplaceable warrior and a massive one of a kind castle "
" Do you take me for a moron ? I passed out and got struck by lightning on a barren mountain , I didn't have the time to do anything "
" The barren mountain you talk about was my dream , it had a name Blackstone castle remember that name , you destroyed it and don't even get me started about Arvind "
Cervantes didn't want to be outdone so he left courtesy behind answering the barbarian back in his own language . Nemo does remember the mountain top being exceptionally smooth .
" Okay , okay calm down , that may have happened but even then it was an accident . Making a castle from scratch will take three days I can make you immortal instead will that be enough "
" That's impossible "
" Complete immortality IS impossible , you can still be killed , the procedure I am talking about will stop you from aging and improve your resilience "
For a moment Cervantes was tempted , the white hairs he has been seeing lately do worry him , his father said that the world keeps flowing like a river , immortality will make him a large stone in the middle of that stream at first he will seem glorious , eventually over time the river will cut through him leaving only a husk of what he used to be .
" Can you make any castle in three days ? "
Nemo was surprised Cervantes could keep his head straight in the face of immortality , usually kings tend to fall for it .
" Yeah , you want me to make a fortress don't you ? "
" Indeed "
" Provide me with enough food , your "castle" will be done as for the person who died I am sorry I really am , you can employ the guy I injured earlier , he got my blessing so he should have five times the strength of your average Joe "
Half an hour later Nemo left the dinner . Cervantes personally observed the dulled dagger of the shadow guard who was ordered to kill Nemo covertly during the meal , confirming Nemo to be beyond their understanding Cervantes cancelled any further assasination plans .
