After Rhodes left the island, Vera didn't give the necromancers a respite and let them go on a transformation mission.

"In the surrounding ocean, there are already a sufficient number of undead creatures, you can control as many as you want, and the transformation also needs to be completed with the help of the power of high-level undead creatures, and you don't need to cast your own spiritualism."

After explaining this, Vera ignored the necromancers and walked in a certain direction on the island.

Until Vera left, the surrounding necromancers still didn't dare to make any moves, and the name of "Devourer of the Dead" had already deeply shocked them.

After leaving, Vera did not go to the ocean to transform into undead creatures like Kane, but came to a towering cliff facing the ocean.

Not far away, the corpse witches who had come here with Vera from the main plane had already firmly surrounded the vicinity of the cliff, waiting for Vera's arrival.

Once here, Vera didn't give orders to the corpse witches, but found a place to sit down.

On the ground at his feet, the ground had traces of turning, and the half-rectangular stone slabs were embedded in the soil, and the stone slabs were covered with a layer of brightly picked flowers, covering the words on the surface, perhaps because of the time, the originally bright flowers had shown signs of withering at this time.

Vera sat down beside the stone slabs, looking out over the cliff at the sea in the distance, at the undulating waves, and the undead creatures that often sprung up in them.

The magic book that Rhodes handed him was put aside by him at will, and he didn't even look at the precious magic recorded in the book.

Vera's heart fell silent, and if nothing else bothered him, he could sit here until his soul decayed.

After an unknown time, a sound of footsteps came from behind Vera, breaking the silence that belonged to him.

"Vera, I received news of the spirit imprint, has Rhodes been here?"

Behind Vera is Kane, the Death Knight who is on his mission.

Kane's body was drenched, leaving a trail of water stains behind him as he walked, and he looked like he had just come out of the water, his clothes were already white, and there was a lot of seaweed attached to them.

"Lord Rhodes brought a group of necromancers, who are now gone, and he handed them over to you."

With that, Vera stood up and handed Kane the bag of space gems and the magic book.

"What happened? You don't look good......" Sensing the chill emanating from Vera, Kane asked.

"It's none of your business." Vera replied coldly.

"Of course it's about me, we're partners on missions together, have you forgotten? Didn't you tell me yourself that you were going to complete the task that Lord Rhodes had given me, and when I was free, I would live with Jane? Why are you lazy now? Kane retorted, "And, what about Jane?" Why didn't I see her? ”

Kane's words rang in her ears, and Vera opened her mouth, as if to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, turned her head away, and looked at the sea in the distance again.

"Wait......" At this moment, Kane seemed to notice something, leaned down and swept the flowers from the slate, revealing the slate's surface, crooked nicks.

Jane Merrest.

"What happened?" Kane quickly got up and confronted Vera, "I've checked all the locations on the island, there are no other enemies here, she can't be in danger, the only person she trusts is you, what did you do?" ”

Vera looked at Kane and said indifferently, "I killed her and buried her here." ”

As soon as Vera's words fell, he received a heavy blow to the face.

Kane's hard fist slammed into Vera's face, and Vera's body was unstable, falling on the stone slab, wrapped in the flowers.

"Fuck your ......," Kane yelled, "you cold-blooded bastard. ”

Even after becoming a Death Knight, Kane's mind has not changed.

There was a heavy blow to the face, but Vera couldn't feel anything, his body had long been numb to the pain, but for some reason, the real pain came out of Vera's heart.

"Give me a reason." Kane rebuked, "Otherwise, even if I can't complete Rod's mission, I will take all the undead creatures and fight you desperately." ”

"Why...... Vera said, bowing her head, "I can feel her heart full of pain and despair. She often sat on the cliff, looking at the sea and weeping silently, for her, just living like this only endured more pain. ”

Vera's voice continued to tremble, different from the numb coldness shown in front of Rod, now Vera's heart was full of pain, like a sharp knife piercing into his body, constantly ripping out his organs.

Even Kane's expression changed after hearing Vera's words.

"I once deceived her with lies." Vera covered her head with her hands and her eyes wide as she stared at the empty ground in the distance, "At that time, her heart was also full of despair. To make her feel better, I told her that her mother was still alive, but had been wounded by Lord Rhodes, and was now hiding somewhere on the island to heal. ”

"But in fact, her mother died at the hands of Lord Rhodes from the beginning." Vera said bitterly.

"She took my word for it. When the tide rose, she went to the top of the cliff full of hope and waited for her mother's return, until the tide went down, and she left disappointed. ”

"I could feel the despair and pain building up in her heart day after day. I gave her hope to live, but this hope, which was false from the beginning, will never come true! Vera let out a roar of pain.

"Instead of living in such pain, I believe that death can bring her true peace, and she will no longer be disturbed by anything, and she will just fall asleep."

At the end of the day, Vera looked at the slate below, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Maybe I shouldn't have saved her in the first place, as Lord Rhodes said, the Death Knight doesn't need such feelings, and she won't suffer like this......"

Vera fell into deep self-reproach.

Kane let out a deep sigh, "One thing, you're right. ”

"You gave her hope to live, but this hope is definitely not what you think is a lie, but yourself, Vera!" With that, Kane walked up to Vera and lifted him by the collar, "It's not you as a necromancer, and it's not some bullshit 'devourer of the dead', it's the real you." ”

Kane asked in a loud voice, "Do you understand?" Obviously Jane was already in such pain, and even her heart was full of despair, but she still chose to survive strongly, because with your existence, you are the hope in her heart! Can't you feel her feelings for you? ”

"You mean...... Vera said in a trembling voice, her eyes that had long since lost their luster and were faintly scarlet.

"You gave her hope to live, but like you said, that hope was false from the start, and it never came to pass." With that, Kane put Vera down.

Vera sat down on the ground, looking at the slate in front of him, his head bowed deeply, his face furrowed, and something scarlet spilling out of his eye sockets.

The scarlet thing fell on the stone slab with a series of crisp sounds, tiny blood-colored crystals.

The Death Knights don't shed tears, they're already numb, and they don't even have any feelings at all.

It is only when the Death Knight is extremely sad that a blood-colored crystal overflows from their eyes, known as the Death Knight's Blood Tears, which can be sold for a sky-high price in the Freelance Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at Vera in front of him, Kane also fell silent for a while, and just like that, together with Vera, he paid silent tribute to the sleeping man under the stone slab.

After a long time, seeing that Vera still showed no signs of improvement, and the blood and tears piled up under him almost drowned the entire slate, Kane couldn't help but persuade:

"I heard that the mage on the snowy mountain has a spell that can resurrect the dead, not resurrect the dead like undead creatures, but make the dead truly reborn. If you feel pain, you can't get away with it, or if you have something to say to Jane in person, don't let it sink in, at least for now, you still have a glimmer of hope. ”

"Useless...... Vera sighed deeply, "I know what you're saying...... That kind of spell. It was the top magic in the magic guild...... There's no way I've learned, and there's no mage who will cast this spell for me. ”

"You don't have this ability, but you can't do it without others." Kane said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten Rod? If you complete his mission and transform all the creatures of the ocean, maybe he'll be willing to help you. ”

Hearing Kane say this, a glimmer of hope bloomed in Vera's eyes, but then she was discouraged: "Even the powerful Lord Rhodes doesn't necessarily have this kind of spell, he can only transform undead creatures." ”

"Not necessarily." Kane mused, "You can't measure Rhodes by the standards of a normal necromancer. Besides him, have you seen any necromancer set his eyes on the vastness of the ocean? And the treasures on him, you should know better than I do. ”

Seeing Kane say this, Vera was a thriller, and the hope of Jane's resurrection really appeared in her heart. In Vera's impression, Rhodes is the holder of two artifacts, and it is not too difficult to resurrect Jane compared to getting the real artifact, right?

"I'm just a death knight under Rhodes, will he bring Jane back to life for me......" Vera hesitated.

"I don't know, but that's your only hope, isn't it? I also need to complete the tasks he has given me to have a chance of being truly free. Kane sighed.

Listening to Kane's words, Vera looked at the slate on the ground once more, and this time, Vera had found his answer.

"Isn't it the whole ocean? Jane, wait for me...... I'm sure I'll let you come back......" Vera had already made his own decision.

Once Rhodes was amazed, the strong momentum that belonged to the Devourer of the Dead, this moment really bloomed from Vera, and it also contained the will that belonged to Vera, which was the will that only a true hero could have.
