Chapter 204 I'm Sorry

Chapter 202 I'm sorry

Zhalo had a brief conversation with the man and walked out of the Temple of a Thousand Seats.

Along the way, wherever he went, he found people running around, talking about ways to escape from Qarth.

This city no longer made them feel safe, and they had to leave as soon as possible.

Some people even suggested that they could kneel to the Dothraki, which not only did not cause contempt from the people around them, but instead ignited their infinite hope, which was better than dying inexplicably in the flames of the dragon.

From these people, Zhalo learned the most real situation of the city at this time, and also understood that the momentum of the Qarth people had been lost.

He immediately took his followers to the Immortal Temple to ask for the help of the immortals.

The Immortal Temple is the palace of the Qarth wizards. People usually call it the "Temple of Dust". Many people come here to seek enlightenment and power, but only a few can come out.

Soon after, Zha Luo led his men to the Palace of Immortality. From the outside, the palace was a gray ancient ruin.

It was long and low, without towers and windows. The black tiles covered the roof of the palace. Many of them had fallen or broken. The plaster between the stones was mostly dry and broken, like a huge molting stone snake coiled in the black bark forest.

The trees in the forest were dark blue, and the magic drink called "Night Shadow Water" by the wizard was made from them.

Zha Luo saw the wizard waiting for him outside the palace. His name was Haiya Puli, with pale skin and blue lips.

A few days ago, the days when the red comet gradually disappeared from the sea.

The wife of a noble suddenly became crazy. She refused to put on her clothes, thinking that the silk was gnawing at her skin like insects.

And this woman once laughed at a wizard whose clothes were tattered by insects.

Zha Luo believed that the power of the wizards was gradually increasing, and the reason why the noble's wife became like this was the wizard's revenge on her.

So, he used some not-so-glorious means to kidnap and imprison the wizard, the wizard named Haiya Puli.

During this dishonorable imprisonment, Zha Luo did some things that were not in line with his status.

Haiya Puli spoke rudely to him, so he cut off the wizard's flesh and fed it to the wizard himself.

In the end, he got some black magic and knew the secrets of the immortals.

Outside the Immortal Palace, although Haiya Puli was an accomplice, Zha Luo, who sought to enter the palace, also needed to abide by some rules.

He had to drink the "Night Shadow Water" so that he could feel the "truth and wisdom" presented in front of him.

Zha Luo could accept this rule. Drinking this water frequently would turn his lips blue, but drinking only one glass would not.

He signaled the servant beside him to take the "Night Shadow Water" with his eyes, and the servant tasted it first.

Everyone waited patiently for a while, and after seeing that the servants did not feel any discomfort, Zha Luo drank the rest of the magic drink.

Next, visitors must enter the temple alone, and can enter through the front door but cannot leave.

With his accomplice, Haiya Puli, present, Zha Luo did not care about this rule.

He ordered some servants to guard the front door, and took the remaining servants and walked straight into the temple.

Everyone walked up all the way, and always took the door on the right.

Zha Luo knew that this was the rule of the Immortal Temple, and he did not understand the specific reason.

But he was not so self-righteous, and soon understood why he did so.

There were many rooms and doors in the temple. Sometimes the doors were open, and there were all kinds of strange scenes in the room.

Those illusions may exist in the past, or have not yet come, or may not happen. Some are beautiful, some are terrible, some are surprising, and some are terrifying.

Zha Luo also saw many illusions that belonged to him:

His childhood, his wealth, and his fleet sailing on the Jade Sea.

And a feast of fire and death, the thousand-seat palace was in ruins, surrounded by flames, a terrifying dragon raised its head and roared in the flames, there were scattered corpses everywhere, heads were cruelly chopped off, and a figure like a giant wearing a crown, trampled on blood and ascended the throne.

Zha Luo's will was tenacious. Facing the illusion that had not happened, he resisted being moved and remembered the warning to go up and to the right.

But his servants were not so determined. One after another, they were lost in the illusion. Once they stepped into any other room, they never came out again.

The situation of the servants made Zha Luo more sober, and he continued to go up and to the right.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally came to a dark room.

A long stone table filled the space, and a group of immortals sat around it. The bodies of these immortals were dry and shriveled, and their skin was blue-purple.

I don't know how much "Night Shadow Water" I have to drink to reach this level.

After seeing this scene, Zha Luo's steps stopped instantly, and he tightly grasped the dagger at his waist. He slowly relaxed his vigilance until he found that these immortals had no breath.

At this moment, he heard a deep tremor, and a wave of deep blue light appeared in front of him.

Following the tremor and the light source, Zha Luo looked up and saw a human heart floating in the air.

It was blue in color, rotten and swollen, but still beating, and every beat made that kind of tremor and emitted blue light waves.

"It is destined that you will..."

The dried immortals suddenly spoke, and the illusion of fire and death appeared in front of Zha Luo again.

"Go to hell."

Xaro listened, hoping that the Immortal would make a prophecy for him and Qarth, but he only heard this word, and the Immortal suddenly stood up and began to attack him.

He drew his dagger and pierced the chest of an immortal, and quickly ran out of the room. He kept running upwards to get out of the Immortal Palace, following the same rules as entering.

But after running through the long, dark passage that stretched out in front of him, until he was exhausted, he couldn't find a single door, as if the floor beneath his feet was also moving.

Xaro refused to give up. He believed in his interrogation methods. No one could deceive others while chewing his own body.

Just as he thought, a door suddenly appeared in front of him, like a gaping mouth, and he ran out of the door into the sunlight.

Then, he saw a person, Haiya Puli, howling in some strange language, shouting, and stabbing him with a dagger.

Xaro didn't care, and threw away the dagger in his hand as if giving up resistance.

He raised his head and gasped for air, breathing in the fresh air under the sun, his face full of joy.

A figure suddenly appeared behind Yaya Puli, and the howling stopped. A dagger pierced the wizard's neck. The figure attached to the wizard's ear and whispered:

"I regret."
