Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest - #202 - Chapter 204 I’m sorry
Chapter 202 I’m sorry
Zaro briefly exchanged a few words with the man, then walked towards the outside of the Thousand Seats Palace.
Along the way, wherever he went, he found people running around, talking about ways to escape Qarth.
The city no longer felt safe for them and they had to leave as soon as possible.
Some people even suggested that they could kneel to the Dothraki. This not only did not arouse contempt from the people around them, but also ignited infinite hope in them. It was better than dying inexplicably in the dragon’s flames.
From the mouths of these people, Xaro got the most real situation in the city at this time, and also understood that the Qarth people’s momentum had been exhausted.
He made a prompt decision and headed towards the Immortal Palace with his entourage to ask for help from the Immortal.
The Immortal Palace is the palace of the wizard of Qarth. People usually call it the “House of Dust”. Many people come here to seek enlightenment and power, but only a few people can come out.
Soon after, Zaro led people to the Palace of Immortality. From the outside, the palace looked like a gray ancient ruin.
It is long and low, with no towers or windows. Black tiles cover the roof of the hall, many of which have fallen or been broken. The plaster between the stones is mostly dry and cracked, like a huge molting stone snake coiled in the black bark of the forest. middle.
The trees in the forest are dark blue, and the magic drink the wizard calls “Night Shadow Water” is made from them.
Zaro saw the wizard waiting for him outside the palace. This man’s name was Haiya Puli, with pale skin and blue lips.
A few days ago, that is, the days when the red comet gradually disappeared from the sea.
The wife of a nobleman suddenly became crazy. She refused to put on her clothes. She felt that the silk was like insects gnawing at her skin.
And this woman once laughed at a wizard whose clothes were in tatters and eaten by insects.
Xaro believed that the power of those wizards was gradually increasing, and the reason why the noble’s wife became like this was precisely the wizard’s revenge on her.
So, he used some less honorable means to kidnap and imprison the wizard, the wizard named Haiya Puli.
During this disgraceful imprisonment, Xaro did some things that were not consistent with his identity.
When Baiya Puli spoke rudely to him, he cut off the wizard’s flesh and fed it to himself.
In the end, he acquired some dark magic and learned the secret of the Immortal.
Outside the Palace of the Immortal, despite having Haiya Purik as an accomplice, Xaro who seeks to enter the palace needs to abide by some rules.
He must drink the “water of night shadow” so that he can feel the “truth and wisdom” unfolding before him.
Xaro could accept this rule. Drinking this water regularly would turn his lips blue, but drinking just one glass would not.
He motioned with his eyes to the servant beside him to take the “Night Shadow Water”, and the servant took a sip first.
Everyone waited patiently for a while, and after seeing that the servant did not feel any discomfort, Xaro drank the remaining magic drink.
Next, visitors must enter the temple alone, and can enter but not exit through the front door.
In the presence of his friend Haiya Puli, Xaro didn’t care about this rule.
He ordered some of his servants to guard the front door, and led the remaining servants straight into the palace.
Everyone walks all the way up, always taking the door on the right.
Xaro knew that this was the rule of the Immortal Palace, but he didn’t understand the specific reason.
But he wasn’t so self-righteous, and it soon became clear why he did what he did.
There are many rooms in the temple, and there are also many doors. The doors sometimes open, and there are all kinds of strange scenes in the house.
Those illusions may exist in the past, or have not yet come, or may not happen. Some are beautiful, some are terrifying, some are surprising, and some are terrifying.
Xaro also saw many visions of his own:
His childhood, all his wealth, his fleet sailing on the Jade Sea.
And a feast of fire and death. The thousand-seat palace was in ruins, surrounded by fire. A terrifying giant dragon raised its head and roared in the flames. There were scattered corpses everywhere, with their heads brutally chopped off. Wearing the crown is like a giant’s figure, trampling on blood and ascending to the throne.
Xaro’s will was tenacious. Faced with the illusion that had not happened, he resisted being unmoved and kept in mind the warning to go up and to the right.
But his servants were not so determined. They were lost in the illusion one after another. Once they entered any other room, they could never come out again.
The situation that happened to the servant made Xaro become more conscious and continued walking 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, with a group of immortals sitting around it. The flesh of these immortals dried up and shrank, and their skin turned blue-purple.
I don’t know how much “Night Shadow Water” I need to drink to reach this level.
After seeing this scene, Xaro’s footsteps stopped for a moment, and he held the dagger at his waist tightly. It was not until he found that these immortals were not breathing that he slowly relaxed some of his vigilance.
At this moment, he heard a deep vibrating sound, and a wave of dark blue light appeared in front of his eyes.
Following the vibrating sound and the light source, Xaro looked up and saw a human heart suspended in the air.
It was blue in color, rotten and swollen, but it was still beating, making that trilling sound with every beat and emitting waves of blue light.
“It is destined that you will…”
The withered immortals suddenly spoke, and visions of fire and death appeared before Xaro’s eyes again.
“Go to hell.”
Xaro listened, hoping that the Immortal would make a prophecy for him and Qarth. However, 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 before 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, the howling stopped, and a dagger pierced the wizard’s neck. The figure attached to the wizard’s ear and whispered:
“I regret.”
