Chapter 1314: Promise
As Rhodes entered the prison to find out, Vera, who remained on the shore, didn't know what to do for a while.
In the perception, strong mana fluctuations erupted inside the cliff, and then it was covered by an even greater amount of death energy, even Vera at this time, when she felt this death energy, her heart felt extremely shocked. But Vera knew that Rhodes in the cave didn't need to worry about it.
In desperation, Vera looked at the female mage who had stayed with him on the cliff.
After falling to the ground, she simply sat down on the ground, at this time, she was facing her back to Vera, and she seemed to let down all her guard, except that Vera could not see her face.
Looking at her lonely figure, prompted by some emotion, Vera involuntarily walked towards her.
Slowing her pace and stepping lightly on the soft grass, she came behind her, and Vera heard her sobs again, and in addition to that, Vera heard her whispering.
"Mom's ......"
A soft call with a choked voice reached Vera's ears, and Vera stopped for a moment and fell into a deep silence.
When her home was destroyed, and even her own life fell into the hands of the enemy, and she didn't know how she would be treated, the only thing she could do at this time was to call her mother like a child, pray in her heart, and pray that her mother could save her.
Sensing her state at this time, Vera couldn't bear it, and then let out a sigh.
Vera didn't know where her mother was now, and judging from the situation on the island, she was afraid that she had already been transformed into the Corpse Witch King, and her call was destined to go unanswered.
Reflecting on her experience, Vera's heart was touched, and when she came to the mage's side, Vera crouched down at her side, keeping her body level with her.
“…… What is your name? My name is Vera Pest. ”
Vera said with a calm face, his original intention was to comfort the mage in front of him, but for some reason, the words that came out of his mouth turned into an interrogation-like tone.
“…… Simple. Noticing Vera's approach, she leaned to her side, unwilling to let herself be watched by Vera, but Vera saw the tears on her face.
"Don't ...... Worried, Jane, you'll be fine, Lord Rhodes promised to spare your life, you won't just ...... Dead. ”
Vera gritted her teeth and finished these words, he had never thought that it would be ten times more difficult to comfort a person with words than to kill a person by releasing the cloud of death.
Hearing Vera say this, Jane glanced at him, and Vera finally saw Jane's face, her haggard face was full of tears, and her eyes were already red, which made people feel pity.
"I can...... Believe you? Jane asked in a quivering voice, uncertain.
Although Jane didn't fully trust Vera who was approaching, she could still feel that Vera was not as bad as the person in the lead, and Vera's previous actions in blocking the cloud of death had already been deeply watched by Jane.
"Of course you can." As she spoke, Vera sat down on the grass on the cliff, following Jane's example.
Seeing Vera approaching, Jane quickly retracted her legs, wrapped her hands around her calves, and leaned her head on her thighs while looking at Vera slightly defensively.
"Not long ago, I was a qualified death knight, with the mission of harvesting lives and transforming undead creatures, who would have thought that I would become what I am now, even at the cost of disobeying my master's will. The host must have been disappointed in me and thought I was too weak. "Something seems to have come to mind," Vera sighed.
Lyle's death has greatly touched Vera, and since then, he has not been able to do anything to others without any burden as he once did, and he believes that there are people behind everyone who are worried about them, which is why he chose to save Jane.
What made Vera sigh was that the main reason why Rhodes was willing to let Jane go was because of his past exploits, and those necromancers who were killed by Vera without any burden in Eli finally became his bargaining chips to save Jane.
"Tell me about your mother." Seeing Jane's depressed expression, Vera tried to comfort her, "Perhaps, I can let you see her, provided she is still alive." ”
Letting Jane see her mother was the biggest promise Vera could give, and it was the limit of what Vera could do without going against Rhodes, and Vera didn't know whether her move was good or bad for her.
"Do you see my mother?" Jane asked hopefully, "You must have seen her, she's the only legendary mage on the island, and everyone knows about her." ”
Hearing Jane say this, Rao was a death knight who didn't need to breathe, Vera still gasped, he already knew who Jane was talking about.
"I've seen her, and she's led many mages to fend off her master's attacks...... Not long ago, he was repelled by Lord Rhodes, and now he doesn't know where he is hiding on the island. ”
For some reason, Vera no longer looked at Jane beside her, but stared blankly at the grass in front of her, and her words became incoherent.
"Great! I knew my mother would be fine. Hearing Vera's words, she was excited, her eyes were bright, and her whole person exuded a kind of light.
"She'll definitely come to me!" As she spoke, she wiped her tears, her eyes became firm, and her original weakness quickly converged, replaced by the perseverance to recognize one thing in her heart.
On the other hand, Vera fell into silence, silently moving her gaze from the grass to the wider sea, the waves crashing under the cliffs, the tide rushing and never stopping.
Feeling the strangeness in Vera's expression, Jane thought that it was her own change that caused his dissatisfaction, and her eyes softened again, and she said softly:
"Don't worry, when Mommy comes to save me, I won't let her hurt you, I swear to protect you, just like you do now."
At this time, Vera turned her blank gaze, as if she didn't hear clearly, and asked Jane in front of her, "You...... What the? ”
Seeing this, Jane took the initiative to lean towards Vera and said in a firm tone: "I promise, when my mother comes to save me, I will protect you and make everything clear to her, and you will be fine." ”
Jane was watching, but Vera didn't dare to look at her, and instantly moved her gaze to the side.
As a death knight, Vera didn't know how many lives he had taken, but it wasn't until today that he got such a promise from Jane's mouth.
A promise that can never be fulfilled.
