Reborn Douluo Continent

Chapter 62
On the last morning Carlo was alone with the Elf King.The Elven King pulled a box from under the bed.He opened the lid and rummaged through the box.

"This is the BYD Excalibur." He said, "but it hasn't been used for a long time. I put it away so that it could find a better owner than me. But I forgot how the blacksmith forged this sword." We are about to set off, and it seems that there is no time to tell you the story of this divine sword, so, I thought, maybe you can accept this divine sword, do you know what it is?"

He took out from the box a sharp sword stuck in a sheath of a wolf's skin covered with dust on the surface.When he drew out the dagger, the sharp sword that had been carefully cared for shone with a cold light. "This is the BYD Excalibur." He said, putting it deep into the pillar without any effort: "If you want, accept it, I don't think I will need to use it again."

Carlo happily accepted the gift.

"And, there's this!" The Elf King then took out a stack of things that looked heavier than it looked.After untying several layers of cloth bags, he took out a battle helmet vest.This is formed by many rare and rare metal rings, with flexibility and elasticity like silk, virtue like ice, and hardness like steel.It shone like silver and was studded with white gems.Completed with the vest was a silk armor of pearls and crystals.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" the Elven King moved it to the light: "And it's also useful. This is the soft armor left by my ancestors of the Elven race. Apart from it, I put all the souvenirs of my last trip Brought it away. But didn’t expect to use it one day, I don’t need it other than to look at it occasionally. If you wear it, you will hardly feel the extra weight.”

"I look like I should—I feel like I should," Caro said.

"That's what I said to myself," said the Elf-king. "Never mind what it looks like, though. You can wear it under your coat. Come! You have a secret to share. Don't tell anyone. Man! I know you will feel better wearing it all the time, I always feel that it can resist the attack of the soul weapon." He whispered.

"Okay, I'll take it." Carlo said emotionally.The Elf King put it on for him, and inserted the Excalibur into his gleaming belt.Finally, Carlo puts on his weather-beaten shirt, trousers and coat again.

"You look just like a normal armored voyage," said the Elf King, "but your insides are different. Good luck!" He turned around, looked out the window, and tried to hum out of tune. the tune.

"Elf King, human being's best friend, I really don't know how to thank you, you are so kind to me." Carlo said.

"Then don't say thank you!" The Elf King turned around and patted him on the back. "Whoa!" he yelled, "You're slapping hard now! But let me tell you one thing, the Guardians need to get together, especially the nine of you. I only ask for one thing : Take care of yourself as best you can, bring the news back to me, and please note down any hardships and setbacks you have encountered."

Carlo lived in the elf kingdom for almost half a month.Only then did the Protector Expeditionary Team get up and set off.For his own ideals, he shoulders the mission of life and death in the three realms, five domains and seven realms.

They crossed an abandoned valley.Some people crossed the Misty Mountains and entered the Soul Sacrifice Abyss.

These soul dispersers found no trace of soul beasts or other minions of the tool spirits at all. Even the blue-clothed soul dragon in the underworld had no updated soul news, and no one heard the news about the soul messengers, but the tool spirits They were still gathering, and they started wantonly in the Soul Sacrifice Canyon in the Soul Sacrifice Abyss again.

Not far from the canyon, the corpses of three drowned horses were soon found; the searchers who were filled with spirit energy found five more corpses, as well as a tattered black cloak.

Other than that, there are no traces of the black souls, and people cannot sense their existence. It seems that they have left the north.Through the dark pine forests on the hills.The forest looked low and dark.When the early evening begins to cast shadows, the team is ready to go.They were going to set off as soon as it got dark, because the Elf King advised them to use the night as much as possible to go until they were far away from the Soul Sacrifice Abyss.

"You must beware of the many eyes and ears of the Soul God." He said: "I believe he has heard the news of the injury of the Soul Beast, and he will be furious. Soon, walking and flying spies will flood the Soul Worship Abyss Even the birds in the sky must be careful when you set off."

The people did not carry many weapons, because the key to this journey was stealth rather than open killing.Jack had no weapons other than a sword in his hand, and he was dressed in rust green and brown like a normal crawler.Carlo is carrying the BYD Excalibur, which is similar in style to the ancient oriental holy sword, but it doesn't have such a big background; he also carries a shield and the huge horn.

"This will resound through the sky in the mountains and in the plains." He said: "Let all the enemies of the fleet flee!" He brought the horn to his lips and blew it hard. Hunyuan's spirits immediately jumped up when they heard the sound.

"Next time you'd better not blow this horn rashly, Carlo." The High Priest of Rocky said, "Unless you return to the country again, and there is great danger."

"Maybe." Carlo said: "Maybe we have to act in the dark in the future, but I will blow the horn every time I set off, and I don't like sneaking around like a thief."

Only Neo wears a war helmet from the start, because they are very good at carrying weight, and he wears a slender sword at his waist.Mike carried a bow and a barrel of arrows on his back, and a long knife stuck in his waist.The young protector expedition team all carried swords from ancient tombs, but Carlo carried the BYD Excalibur.And his soft armor was quietly worn under the clothes as the Elf King wanted.The High Priest of the Rocky High Priest held a cane, but he carried a scroll map of long-distance navigation on his waist.

The Elf King also told everyone to wear warm and thick clothes, and the coats and cloaks were also trimmed with fur.Additional equipment and clothing and food were placed on a pony, the same horse they had in the elf kingdom.

The days of staying in Jihunyuan created a miracle on it, its fur became plump, and it seemed to have regained its youth.It was Jack who insisted that it must come.

"This animal can almost talk," he said. "If he stays here longer, he might actually talk. It looks at me like Maggie said: If you don't let me follow, I will talk to myself." Come." Therefore, let him take the job of the camel beast, but it is the only member of the team who seems to be happy.

Their farewell was held at the gate of the elf kingdom, and now they are only waiting for the high priest of Rocky to come out of the house.Warm yellow light streamed from the open doors, and many windows shone with light.The Elven King huddled in his fur cloak and stood beside Carlo.Jack sat on the ground with his head between his legs; only the Faerie King knew what that meant to him.The others are a few unnoticeable gray shadows in the darkness.

Jack stood beside the pony, tucking and staring gloomily at the rushing water below; his thirst for adventure was at its lowest point.

"Horse, old friend," he said, "you shouldn't have come with us. You can stay here and eat the best hay, and when spring comes next year there will be fresh pasture again. "The horse wagged its tail and said nothing.

Jack adjusted his backpack, nervously reading all the contents inside, hoping he didn't forget anything.

At that moment, the High Priest of Rocky and the Elf King came out together, and he summoned the team to his side: "This is my last order." He lowered his voice and said, "The rebirth of the Horcrux holder this time The task is to go to the Flame Mountain. He has only one responsibility, absolutely not to discard the reborn Horcrux.

There is a treaty in the Protector Expeditionary Team: only in the most critical time, the holder can give it to his companions around him, or members who have participated in the meeting.Others have no obligation but to assist him as best they can.Given the opportunity, members of the convoy could disperse, come back, or head in other directions.The farther you go, the harder it is to turn back.But no one is bound by any oath, and no one can force them to take a path they don't want to take.Because you don't yet know where your strength lies, and you don't know what you will encounter in the future. "

"When the road is dark, the one who says goodbye is the one who has no faith," Neo said.

"Perhaps," said the Elven-King, "but I hope that no one who has not seen the sunset will swear to walk on dark paths."

"But a vow can strengthen a shaken heart," Neo said.

"Or let it break." The Elven King replied: "Don't look too far! Just hold on to hope! Farewell, and may humans, elves, and all those who love freedom bless you. May the stars always shine on you face!"

Many of the elf king's subordinates stood in the shadows watching them go, blessing them in low voices.There was no music or laughter in the crowd seeing them off.Finally, they turned around quietly and merged into the darkness.

A group of people crossed the bridge and walked slowly on a steep passage to the Jihunyuan River Valley. They came to a high ground blown by a strong wind; after seeing the last shelter, they trekked into the night .

This road is very desolate. Compared with the river valley on the Great Wasteland, it looks lifeless here, and their actions can't be fast.However, they hope to avoid many unfriendly eyes by taking this road less traveled.There are very few spies of the Soul God in this empty land, because except for those who worship the Soul Abyss, outsiders almost don't know this road at all.

The high priest of Rocky walked in front, followed by Jack who could run blindfolded on this land.On many sunless days, there will be gusts of icy cold wind blowing from the mountains to the east, and no amount of clothing seems to be able to block its icy touch.

In the beginning, for the Protector Expeditionary Team, although they groped in the dark every day until their limbs became weak, it seemed that there was no progress at all.The surrounding scenery looks exactly the same every day, but the mountains seem to be getting closer.The terrain under their feet rose higher and higher, and began to bend westward, and when they reached the edge of this terrain, they came to a place full of hills and deep river valleys.There are very few roads here, and they are all very winding, often making them step into the edge of a cliff, or the depths of a certain swamp.

Carlo could see many blurry stretches of mountains far to the south, which were now beginning to block everyone's way.To the left of these ranges are three particularly tall peaks, the tallest and closest peak looking like a snow-covered fang, and its northern exposed cliffs still largely in shadow, shimmering in sunlight With red light.
