Reborn Douluo Continent

Chapter 23 The Prisoner's Tower

The next day, the God of Hades ordered a wizard named Shlok to take the soul of the Horcrux. Shlok had messy long hair, blue and strange eyes, holding his unique soul wand in his hand, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. Eerie shadows.

In the following link, Shlok stood on the soul-absorbing platform of the palace to conjure souls. Shlok kept raising the soul-absorbing staff to the sky, and those starlights gathered into a very bright beam of light, covering him and the Horcrux inside. There is always a strong wind.Horcruxes and wizard robes were always flying upwards, and the palace was shaking faintly.The horcrux was put down according to the wizard's instructions, and then Shlok sat opposite the horcrux, stretched out his left hand and pointed to the whole body of the horcrux to draw an arc.In an instant, the body of the horcrux was covered by a layer of light blue enchantment, and Shlok looked at the horcrux for a few seconds.The wizard closed his eyes gently.Put your hands together.

This is the first time in the history of the underworld to see such a long and intense soul-devotion ceremony. Everyone stood in the center of the palace and waited without speaking. The formed beams of light suddenly shattered like glass and scattered on the ground of the palace.

After a while, the insanity was over.Hades asked: "Shlok, what's the result of the horcrux's insanity?"

Hades asked with an anxious expression.All eyes were on Shlok.

"Your Majesty, I can't reveal the result of the Horcrux's insanity for the time being. I will inform you of the result in three days." Shlok replied with a tense expression on his face.

After Carlo saw the tight expression on Shlok's face.He thought that Shlok must have something to hide from him.He must ask what's going on.

"Can I take that Horcrux away? Wizard Slok." Carlo walked up to Slok and asked.

"No." Shlok replied resolutely, without any hesitation, his expression was as cold as a millennium's ice.

"If I can't take away the Horcrux, then what's the point of my coming to the Land of the Dead? Then Rogers didn't die in vain." Carlo was disappointed when he said this.

Neo looked sad at Carlo's disappointment.Neo walked up to Shlok and said to Shlok: Wizard Slok, I want you to tell me now why we can't go.

"Nio, I'm sorry, I really can't say." Shlok still said to Neo with a firm attitude.

I only saw Neo smiled slightly, it was not a smile from the heart, but a superficial smile, he put away his smile again and said: If you don’t say it now, then I will let you never say it again. Can't say anymore.

He stretched out his bowed palm hidden in his cloud-like sleeve, in which a solid crystal ball transformed from ice-blue mist had condensed, and was about to launch an attack on Shlok.

But he was persuaded by the God of Hades, who said: Neo.You are getting more and more presumptuous now, the wizard has the right to tell and keep silent about the results of the insanity.But he has promised to tell the result in three days.Let's wait another three days.

Neo approached Shlok, touched Shlok's gorgeous and soft soul-robbing robe with his hand, then smiled evilly at Slok, and said: "Wizard Slok, you are a smart man, you should understand. Carlo is destined to be resurrected." They, and the reborn Horcrux is destined to belong to Carlo alone, if you say no after three days, I will kill you."

"Neo, you are still a Soul Lord, and I am one of the greatest wizards in the Land of the Dead. You haven't learned any witchcraft. I have superb witchcraft and magic. How could you kill me? I told You, you can't kill me." Shlok looked at Neo and said.Obviously provoking Neo.In his heart, what can a furry boy do to him.

"Wizard Slocker, how do you know that I haven't learned any witchcraft, and you are too confident. Usually, people who are too confident will not know how they will die in the end." After speaking, Neo looked up to the sky and laughed like a peach. The petals fluttered in the corner of the hall, and he walked out of the palace calmly without looking back, the place he walked was covered with peach blossoms.Under the deep starry sky outside, the blue soul pterosaur hovered above the sky, making a mournful cry.

Neo's hazy white shadow flew silently from behind Shlok in the sky.Neo circled twice in the air, and then flew towards the outdoor with a whoosh.

Neo, a mortal, said that if you say no, I will kill you, making everyone present unbelievable, but Carlo just saw Neo smiling, and Neo's smile is always so confident .

Carlo was waiting, patiently waiting for the result of the Horcrux's infatuation. At dusk the next day, when Carlo stood on the high wall to watch the sunset, the palace was as calm as usual, and the land of the dead was Under the setting sun, his plain face was still exposed and he looked lonely.

Carlo was fascinated by the bright red clouds in the sky.Carlo didn't even know when Rocky walked behind Carlo.When he saw Rocky, Rocky smiled at him.He also smiled like Rocky.

"Carol Soul Lord, you look so lonely when you smile." Rocky looked at Carlo and said.

"Rocky, you said my smile is lonely, no, do you know how happy my smile is? Because tomorrow I will know the result of Rose's insanity."

"Carol Soul Lord, you will never know." Rocky said expressionlessly, and Carlo felt that there was something in Rocky's words.

"Why? Did something happen?" Carlo asked Rocky anxiously, eager to know the answer.He didn't know what would happen next.

"Wizard Shlok is dead, just now." Rocky replied calmly.When Carlo heard Rocky's words, his body trembled, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.He really couldn't believe what Rocky said.

"How did you die?" Carlo asked again.

"Killed." Rocky replied.

"Did Neo kill it?"

"Carol Soul Lord, I don't know, why don't you ask yourself?"

"Ok"

"Rocky, the god of the underworld said that you are someone who can understand the fate of others, can you capture my soul and divine my fate?"

"Yes, I am willing to serve you."

Carlo and Rocky came to an altar in the middle of the hall with a book on it.The entire hall was shrouded in the ubiquitous holy light.Rocky picked up the book carefully, raised the soul-absorbing staff, wrapped around two evil ancient dragons, and recited the Sanskrit spell.

Carlo entered the Soul Realm, and he walked inside alone, only to find that it was a corridor without end. The end of the corridor was completely shrouded in a sacred and illusory golden light, and there were many people standing motionless on both sides of the road.With piercing eyes, wearing all kinds of gorgeous costumes, holding weapons, very weird weapons, and some with riding pets, those riding pets are very similar to those spirit beasts outside.In an instant, the sky was covered with clouds, and a hazy wind blew.The chirping of countless birds tore through the sky.The raging wind surged from all directions, whizzed past Carlo, and swept the entire lush snow and fog forest in just a short moment.

There are intricate lightning chains intertwined among the big trees in the Snow Lake Forest. Darkness surges in, and a black hole seems to appear in the center. Shuttle between the trees, Carlo stood in the center with his hands raised high and unable to move.The sharp sword light whizzed across the sky, the flames of Xiaosha rose everywhere, and the cries of death and pain came surging.

Suddenly a voice came: Carlo, someone has already arranged your fate in the dark. If you choose to be resurrected, then you must lose the freedom you dreamed of, and this choice is a lifetime commitment. , once you choose, you can't go back.If turning back is betrayal, it will violate the taboo, and it will be tied to the tower of hell, imprisoned and tortured forever.

Carlo didn't know what was at the end of this road, but he had a vague feeling that it shouldn't be something he could walk through. It is estimated that before he reached the end, many people would have died before him. on the way.Those who were not familiar with Carlo but had a great connection with Carlo's fate all fell down in the background of the blazing sunset and the din of the war.

Carlo looked down at the black land of the dead in the night under his feet. The thick and deep territory, he could see countless wizards and souls fighting on the battlefield above. A burst of desperate cries, mixed with a strong smell of blood, rushed to the distant sky,

In the final scene of the Soul Realm, Carlo's vision gradually blurred. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to choose to end his own life, but he thought that at the end of his life, he would always be looking for his own freedom and happiness.He has to make a choice according to his own wishes, and then even go down.

"Rocky, can you decipher the secrets in the soul realm for me?"

"This is a very weird ghost image. I can't understand the true meaning of your ghost image. But I can foresee that this should be a sad and painful prophecy, a prophecy about love being entangled, life and death. It seems that all things are predestined and doomed. It is exactly the same as the last time when Shlok captured the soul of the horcrux. Someone will already know your past life and present life."

When Carlo went to see Shlok in Shlok's bedroom at night, he saw that Slok's clothes were still intact, and there were no signs of injuries from the fight.

Really ruthless witchcraft can make people die silently without any precautions.Shlok's death made the land of the dead fall into a dead city like a dead city, and Hades and Rocky were tight-lipped about Shlok's death.Reluctant to say anything about Shrock's death, it goes without saying that many people know that Neo did it.

The cold wind that is about to come in winter is permeating in the imperial capital of the land of the dead, like light rain hitting the window paper and walls, rustling.Many pedestrians passed by in a hurry on the street, but the sparse flow of people involuntarily stagnated when they passed by the luxurious palace in the center of the city, and gradually gathered together.

In the silence, only the wind howls in the city, bringing the coldness of the snow mountains in the north, and the cold light reflected in the snow.Carlo finally spoke.

"Neo, you know how disappointed I am in you..." Carlo smiled wryly, that kind of smile seemed to come from the heart, without a trace of sarcasm. "I didn't expect you to be so stagnant in the past ten years. Didn't you learn it in the past ten years?"

"What do you want to learn?" Neo asked with a tense face.

"Bow your head! Patience! Obedience! Or is it weak like that?" Neo looked at Carlo and said, almost gritting his teeth.

"You still don't understand anything! You are exactly the same as the kid ten years ago! Neo, don't hurt innocent people anymore, promise me." Carlo said to him in a begging tone.

"Carlo, as long as someone is against you, I will definitely kill him." Neo replied forcefully.

"I won't let you hurt others anymore, even those who oppose me as king, this is my own business and I will solve it myself." Carlo said.

"Carol, what if I'm going to do that?"

"Then I will kill you anyway." Carlo replied to Neo's words without thinking.

Neo laughed out loud after hearing Carlo's words. He was more uncomfortable than crying. He really didn't believe that Carlo would say such a thing and go to war with him for a stranger.His eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes were red.He said coldly to Carlo: "Carol, if Shlok says he can't take away the Horcrux, I will definitely kill him."

Carlo also said coldly: "Neo, Shock can't talk anymore."

"why?
"He's dead, haven't you killed him? You won't let him go after he's dead? I really didn't expect you to be so vicious."

"I didn't kill him. I thought he was still alive and said that to anger you." Neo replied as if frightened.

"You didn't kill him, so how could he die?" Carlo was startled when he heard Neo's words.
