Reborn Douluo Continent

Chapter 22 The Prisoner's Tower

The soldiers took Carlo to the Prison Tower to see Neo, where is the Prison Tower?On the west coast, Carlo, I will lead the way for you, and the soldiers will lead the way after speaking,
Over the black cliffs, the silver moonlight pours down on the sea.The breeze blows, and the white waves are swaying, and a group of birds are flying on the turbulent waves.Walking to a tall and majestic stone tower, Carlo stood under the stone tower and looked around, and was taken to a mysterious place by the soldiers.This is also the saddest thing in Carlo's life.

They stepped out of the tower into the darkness, solemn as if at a funeral, the low clouds reflecting sickly red in the light of the fire.They walked silently through the vast garden, and stopped beside the withered sacred tree under the order of Kuras.

All was silent except for the din of the lower town, and they could distinctly hear the sound of water dripping mournfully from the dry branches into the pool.They then proceeded to the gate of the fort, where the guards looked at them in amazement but helplessness.The group turned west, and finally came to a gate in the rear wall of the Sixth City.

People call this the Tower of Prisoners, because it is only open for funerals, and no one else can use this road except Hades and Kuras, the only exception is the staff responsible for cleaning and maintaining the mausoleum.Behind the door is a winding path, after nine turns and eighteen turns, you will arrive at Luo Dian'an.

A janitor lived in a hut by the road, and he came to the door with an oil lamp and a look of fear on his face.Under the order of the lord of the city, he opened the gate, and the gate slid back silently. They took the oil lamp from his hand and walked in.

Under the light of the shaking oil lamp, the ancient high walls and stone pillars look very gloomy.The sound of their slow footsteps echoed on and on, until they came to dead streets, among pale cupolas and empty halls, and portraits of the long dead.

Carlo looked around uneasily, and found himself in a wide hall, as if the whole place was surrounded by deep darkness, only the light of the oil lamp penetrated the thick covering.In this twilight, he could vaguely make out many stone tables carved from marble. On each stone table lay a corpse with folded hands, its head resting on the cold rock, but the one closest to everyone There was nothing on Zhang Shi's table.Under the order of Kulas, they put Neo's body down, and the guards bowed their heads and stood on both sides, as if they were visiting the mausoleum.

Carlo suddenly felt a gust of wind surrounding him. He never knew that the wind on the shoreline of Luodian was so cold.All I saw was the Tower of Hell standing alone on the sea.

A person is tied to the spire.His silver-white hair covered his face, and he lowered his head. When Kuras chanted the spell with his fingers, the tower slowly sank, leaving only the top tower standing on the water. When Neo looked up and saw When Carlo was with Kuras, his hair fluttered messily in the sea breeze, and Carlo saw that the person trapped on the pillar was Neo.I, Carlo, finally saw his brother Neo in the dim light above the stone tower. He was chained to a thick basalt column by several chains, and red blood flowed continuously along the icy holes that pierced his chest. , Manyan on the cold ground.Carlo saw that his hair and pupils had turned as deep as brown.

Carlo walked to his feet, Neo leaned over to look at Carlo from above, Carlo saw his face covered by hair, his expression was calm and full of gratitude without pain or resentment.

He said to Carlo, Carlo, have you seen everything?
I looked at Neo's dark brown pupils, nodded, and said, I see, Neo.

He said, Carlo, don't be sad, I never hated anyone, I like you more.I am able to come to this world once, I already feel very lucky, please take care of everyone who came to the land of the dead together for me.

He looked at Carlo and said: Carlo, do you know what I want now?In fact, what I want is freedom. I want to retreat from the tower of hell. Even if I fall into the sea and be submerged in the sea, I don’t want to be imprisoned in the tower of hell. Carlo, after I die, you must become the king. Then you who are supreme can have freedom.

"Whenever my cry of pain rushes towards the land of the dead, my sealed heart starts to throb. I warn myself not to let you know my pain."

"Watching you suffer torture, I can't do it."

"Carlo, my mind was gradually numb in the torture. But at this time, the scars attached to your body made me wake up. Since you have been completely released from Sad Rigno at that time, you can only use The mind persuades itself not to blame you."

"Carol, I finally returned to the place I went to. That is the region. Don't feel sorry for me, but your life must go on. Tell me, what wish do you have, and I will help you realize it in the next life."

After listening to Neo's words, Carlo finally understood why he had such a strong sense of guilt when he saw Neo, and why Neo had such deep love for himself.In him, it is still impossible to separate the inextricably linked relationship with Carlo.

"The wish I want to fulfill is that I want you to be free. I only hope that you will be happier and bring peace to the people of Luodian." Carlo said sincerely to Neo.

"Carol, you are the only one I care about. If you are happy, I have no reason to be sad. You go, I will protect you."

Then Carlo suddenly felt a sharp pain in Chongyue's chest. Carlo said with all his might, "Neo, you are free now and I have asked Hades to set you free."

After Carlo finished speaking, the holy radiance on Neo's body gradually gathered, and his entire figure disappeared into the dark night in an instant.A month is a long time, and he became more and more physically and mentally exhausted in the endless waiting.

Blood gushed out of Carlo's mouth, slid over his chin and dripped onto his robe, like fiery flowers inlaid on the robe, and his vision began to blur.

When Carlo woke up again, he was already in the land of the dead.He saw Rogers standing on the head of the bed, stroking Carlo's face with his gentle hand and saying, "You're awake."

Neo also stood beside Rogers, and when he saw Carlo wake up, Neo cried out in surprise.Neo's cry attracted Hades, Jack, and Rogers.

On the morning of the third day after Carlo's injury healed, amidst the screams of the court lady, Carlo had a premonition that something big would happen to tell him that the palace was sad.

When Carlo arrived, everyone gathered under a towering tree in front of Carlo's bedroom. When Carlo walked under the tree, he saw Rogers. Rogers had a bunch of sharp swords running through his chest. , Nailed to the tree, the blood spread along the tree like a thin stream.Blood splattered on the ground.Like the red lotus blooming everywhere, it is fiery red.It almost hurt Carlo's pupils... His expression was weak, and when he saw Carlo coming, he said, "Carol, I'm sorry, I can't set sail with you anymore."

Jack and Neo also came. Carlo was stunned seeing this scene, and his first reaction was to hug Rogers and leave without looking back.

Carlo searched all the doctors of the witch doctor family in the underworld to heal Rogers, but no one could save Rogers. Carlo ran over quickly, hugged Rogers and left the Land of the Dead. He promised to take Rogers and take him away from the Land of the Dead. On the ground, away from the castle without light, stepping through the thick snow step by step through the surrounding crowd.

"Rogers, I will take you away from the land of the dead now. I live together in the mortal world. We built a small pavilion with many peach trees planted in front of the gate. We lived an ordinary life with a fence around the pavilion. Life, you have to promise me that nothing will happen to you."

"I will heal you. I will not let you leave me, our journey is not over."

After finishing speaking, the soft blue light condensed on Carlo's hands as the spell was completed. In an instant, his hands completely turned jade-like white, and his hands trembled like waves. The halo floated towards Rogers' fair body.

Under the effect of the white light, several wounds of different depths stopped bleeding immediately. Carlo closed his eyes and let the gentle water element flow on his fingertips. When he felt that the magic was fully formed, his hands Yes, both hands moved towards the wound on Rogers' body, the milky white water replaced the bright red of the wound, the viscous holy water completely sealed the shocking wound, and soon, the milky white liquid completely melted into the wound , the naked eye can almost see that the wounds of different shades are constantly healing.

Taking a deep breath, Carlo felt a little tired. After all, he used a few not weak magics one after another, which consumed a lot of his magic power.

But it didn't help. The blood from Rogers' mouth kept gushing out and splashed on Carlo's clothes. He forced a smile at Carlo in discomfort, and said, I don't want any castles, I don't want any peach blossoms. I just want to sail with you forever, and I still want to be your friend in the next life.

Caro hugged Rogers with tears pouring out, dripping on Rogers' blood-stained veil.Transparent tears dripped in the snow.

"I will find the best doctor to heal you, I will not let you have trouble."

Rogers hugged Carlo's body tightly, and Carlo felt the coldness of Rogers' body, and it was constantly trembling and curling up.

"Carlo, I'm so cold now, can you hold me tightly?" Rogers wriggled with mist in his mouth.

Carlo put Rogers' body down and took off his robe, wrapped Rogers tightly, hugged Rogers tightly, and asked: Is it still cold now?

It's still cold.Rogers replied.He went on to say: "Carlo, the way you hold me now makes me happy. I hope you can hold me like this forever."

"Not only do I hold you like this, but I also want you to accompany me to the Soul Gathering Palace."

Rogers smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked up at Carlo, his eyes were already filled with tears, which should be tears of happiness.In an instant, the smile on Rogers' face became ferocious.become sad, hopeless.Rogers stretched out his hand with difficulty and stroked Carlo's face.

"Carol, my chest hurts so badly. I might die. I can't accompany you to Soul Gathering Palace anymore in this life. I will escort you. If I die, you have to promise me and Live well, live happily. Promise me, okay?
Carlo couldn't cry at this moment, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will live happily."

That's good, even in another world, I will bless you.After speaking, Rogers smiled sadly.His eyes were slightly closed, snow was spitting out of his mouth, and his hands slipped from Carlo's face.

"Rodgers, Rogers." Carlo shook Rogers in his arms and shouted at the top of his lungs, loudly.

Why?Why?
Just when Carlo was holding Rogers' body in agony, and Rogers was still spitting blood out of his mouth, Carlo suddenly saw in his delirious tearful eyes that the bright red blood on Rogers' The place where Carlo's tears merged with each other suddenly showed a supernatural light.

After Rogers died, Carlo always played the dusty piano left by Rogers when night fell. People in the land of the dead said that Carlo's piano sound was sad and distant, which always made people feel The feeling of loneliness, under the deep night sky, the wind blowing that night, the wind chime hanging under the eaves of the building slowly drifted to the distance, and also entangled with Carlo's dull melody and disappeared in the wind.Every time Carlo touched the strings, the sentimentality in his heart surged. Carlo would go out secretly and come back very late, because he never fell asleep before midnight. Rogers from another world.
