Chapter 496 - Gate Of The Devil World

In an illusory dream, someone called out Lei Luo's name. Lei Luo only felt peaceful. It was as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.

"Lei Luo, wake up quickly!"

This feeling did not last for long before someone woke him up. Lei Luo rubbed his eyes and looked at Morton in front of him with sleepy eyes.

"What happened?"

"I have bad news for you."

Morton's expression turned ugly. At the same time, he was reluctant to say anything outright. Beside him, Katz and Charlotte looked reluctant.

"What is it? Tell me quickly."

Lei Luo was a little anxious, but he still kept his calm.

"Allie may never wake up. You have to be prepared to lose Allie."

Even though he was trying his best to control the emotions that were about to burst out of his body, Lei Luo's face could not help but tremble. He could not believe it. He had tried so hard, but how could he not save her?

"Allie's brain was. .h.i.t hard. This is an incurable injury. Now, she can only survive on basic food. The doctor said that no magic can cure her brain."

As if he had lost his strength, Lei Luo fell to the ground in a daze. Didn't this mean that Allie would have to lie on the bed like a vegetable for the rest of her life? This was a reality that he could not grasp.

Even if Karman was already dead, he had still left an incurable injury on Lei Luo. This was the greatest punishment for him!

"You guys can leave first. Let me take a good look at her again."

Lei Luo only spoke to everyone as he stood up and looked at Allie who was lying on the bed. Even though she was lying on the bed and did not move, she was still as dazzling as when Lei Luo had first joined them. Even though the East G.o.d had already perished, she still stubbornly wanted to revive it. Even if she had to sacrifice her life for it, she would not hesitate.

She was not an ordinary girl. Were the heavens not going to give her another chance?

Lei Luo felt a little hopeless. He touched Allie's cold hand, and his heart was as cold. He only wished to go back to that moment. Even if he had to reject her, it would be better than watching her lying there coldly.

That day, Lei Luo said a lot of things to Allie. He was so tired that he couldn't continue, so he just stayed by Allie's side.

A knock on the door awoke Lei Luo, who was sleeping next to Allie.

"Please come in."

He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and tried to make himself look less pathetic.

Charlotte walked in with a bunch of pale flowers and placed them on Allie's bed. She said softly, "Actually, there's still a way to cure Allie."

There was a hint of hesitation in Charlotte's tone. He did not want Lei Luo to go to that place right now, but there was no other way. Seeing how much pain Lei Luo was in, he knew that it was unavoidable.

"What did you say?"

Lei Luo gripped Charlotte's shoulders tightly, as though he was grasping at the last straw.

"I said, there's a way to cure Allie's brain injury."

She spoke very slowly, hoping that Lei Luo would understand what he meant.

"Hurry up and say it. What's the way?"

Bringing Lei Luo to sit by the side, Charlotte began to tell her story.

"This matter should start from the borders of the empire. Do you know where I'm from?"

Lei Luo shook his head. Even Morton, who had spent a large sum of money to know more about her, did not know anything. So how would Lei Luo know more than him?

"In the northern borders of the empire, there's a region that has been snowing all year round. It's called the sinful region. A group of descendants who call themselves sinners live there, and they guard the most important node of the empire."

He paused for a moment.

"That place is called the 'Gate of the Devil Realm.' My family is inside that node and is fighting against the people inside. Because we are the family that Emperor Victor personally ordered to guard the gate, the Council of Elders does not have the authority to order us. Instead, they have to spend money to support us. Perhaps you will think that this is a good thing, but the people of my family can only stay in that region that is perpetually covered in snow for generations. We also have to fight against the evil and strange creatures of the Devil Realm. That is h.e.l.l!"

"The one who has always been loyal to us has always been Emperor Victor, so in order to ensure that our family can maintain a high strategic index for generations, we all intermarry within the family. My parents are cousins, and I am the same. When I was fourteen years old, the family a.s.signed me a cousin to be my marriage partner."

Hearing this, Lei Luo was a little incredulous. Now, the custom of intermarrying within the family had long died out. Although n.o.bles still intermarry, Lei Luo did not expect that such a bad tradition had persisted through the years.

"When I was ten years old, my younger brother was cut to death by my father because of his deformity. This is very normal to us because, although intermarriage can maintain the purity of the bloodline and have a high strategic index, the probability of deformity is very high."

Lei Luo was a little surprised, but he knew that this story was definitely not over yet. It could only be said that the people in this family were too ruthless, whether it was to the enemy or himself. It was no wonder Emperor Victor was at ease to entrust such a strategic location to the family of Charlotte.

The people within the empire knew very little about the border, because the empire's control over these places was very strict. No one was allowed to enter, and once they entered, they basically couldn't get out.

"But I fell in love with a woman I shouldn't have fallen in love with. That year, she just came to my house to be a maid. Under the circ.u.mstances of being young and ignorant, I fell in love with her and couldn't extricate myself."

When he said this, Charlotte's tone started to fluctuate, and her originally casual att.i.tude started to become sharp.

"After I expressed my love to her, she was executed. I killed her with my own hands."

He looked at his hands as if he saw the blood of that innocent girl, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"After my cousin found out, she helped me escape from that man-eating h.e.l.l. She knows how I feel, but if I had stayed there, perhaps she would have become a married woman by now."

Charlotte laughed self-deprecatingly.

"And that thing that can cure Allie is at the intersection between the gate of the Devil World and the present world. It's a rare black and white flower. There were once soldiers who were brain-dead who were fed with that flower and discovered its effects. I've never seen it before. I've only seen it in the family's secret legacy."

"You can go look for it. I'm about to tell you the promise I want. Help me save that decaying family."

Charlotte's eyes were filled with hope as she looked at Lei Luo. When she had first laid eyes on Lei Luo, she had already known that if it was him, he might be able to save that clan.

As he looked at Charlotte, Lei Luo's gaze became resolute. This was something he owed Allie. Even if he had to die looking for it, he would do it without any doubt.
