As Rhodes entered the prison to find out what was going on, Vera, who stayed on the shore, didn't know what to do for a while.
In the perception, strong mana fluctuations erupted inside the cliff, and were immediately covered by an even larger amount of death energy. Even at this time, Vera felt extremely shocked when she felt this death energy. But Vera knew that Rhodes in the cave did not need to worry about himself.
In desperation, Vera looked at the female mage who stayed with him on the cliff.
After falling to the ground, she simply sat directly on the ground. At this time, she was facing Vera with her back, seemingly letting down all her guard, but Vera could not see her face.
Looking at her lonely figure, prompted by a certain emotion, Vera walked towards her involuntarily.
Slowing down his pace, stepping gently on the soft grass, and coming behind her, Vera heard her sobbing again. In addition, Vera also heard her whisper.
"Mother……"
The soft, choked call reached Vera's ears. Vera stopped for a moment and fell into deep silence.
When her home was destroyed and even her own life fell into the hands of the enemy, she didn't know how she would be treated. Now in a desperate situation, the only thing she could do was to call out to her mother like a young child. , praying in her heart, praying that her mother could rescue her.
Sensing her current state, Vera couldn't bear it, and then let out a sigh.
Vera doesn't know where her mother is now. Judging from the situation on the island, she may have been transformed into the Corpse Witch King. Her call is destined to get no response.
Recalling her past experience, Vera was deeply touched. After arriving next to the mage, Vera squatted down on the side of her body so that her body was level with hers.
"...What's your name? My name is Vera Perst."
Vera said solemnly. His original intention was to comfort the mage in front of him, but for some reason, the words he spoke turned into an interrogative tone.
"...Jane." Noticing Vera's approach, she turned her body sideways, not wanting to be watched by Vera at this time, but Vera still saw the tears on her face.
"Don't... worry, Jane, you will be fine. Lord Rhodes promised to spare your life, and you won't just... die."
Vera gritted his teeth and finished these words. He had never thought that it would be ten times more difficult to comfort someone with words than to release a cloud of death to kill someone.
After hearing what Vera said, Jane glanced at him, and Vera finally saw Jane's face. Her haggard face was covered with tears, and her eyes were already red, which made people feel pity.
"Can I...believe you?" Jane asked in a trembling voice, unsure.
Although Jane did not completely trust Vera who was approaching, she could still feel that Vera was not as bad as the leader. The previous actions of Vera in blocking the cloud of death had already been deeply noticed by Jane.
"Of course you can." After saying that, Vera followed Jane's appearance and sat down on the grass on the cliff.
Seeing Vera approaching, Jane quickly retracted her legs, hugged her calves with her hands, leaned her head sideways on her thighs, and looked at Vera aside with a slight defensive look.
"Not long ago, I was a qualified death knight, with the responsibility of harvesting life and transforming undead creatures. I never thought that I would become like this, even going against the master's will. The master must be disappointed in me and thinks that I am too Too weak." Vera sighed as if she thought of something.
Lyle's death greatly touched Vera. Since then, he has been unable to attack other people without any burden like before. He believes that behind everyone, there are people who are worried about them. This is also The reason why he chose to save Jane.
What made Vera sigh with emotion was that the main reason why Rhodes was willing to let Jane go was actually because of his past achievements. Those necromancers who were killed by Vera without any burden in Eli finally became the ones he saved. Jane's bargaining chip.
"Tell me about your mother." Seeing Jane's depressed expression, Vera tried to comfort her: "Maybe, I can let you see her, provided she is still alive."
Letting Jane see her mother is the biggest promise that Vera can give. This is also the limit that Vera can achieve without violating Rhodes' will. Vera doesn't know that this move of hers, Is it good or bad for her.
"Have you seen my mother?" Jane asked hopefully, "You must have seen her. She is the only legendary mage on the island, and everyone knows her."
Hearing what Jane said, even though the death knight's body did not need to breathe, Vera still took a breath. He already knew who Jane was talking about.
"I have seen her. She once led many mages to resist the master's attack... She was repulsed by Lord Rhodes not long ago, and now she is hiding on the island. I don't know where she is hiding."
For some unknown reason, Vera no longer looked at Jane beside her, but stared blankly at the grass in front of her, and her words became inconsistent.
"Great! I knew that nothing would happen to my mother." After hearing Vera's words, she looked excited, her eyes became brighter, and her whole body exuded a kind of light.
"She will definitely come to me!" As she said this, she wiped her tears and her eyes became firm. Her original weakness quickly subsided, replaced by the perseverance to identify one thing in her heart.
On the side, Vera fell into silence, silently moving her gaze from the grass to the wider sea. The waves crashed below the cliff, and the tide surged never-endingly.
Sensing the strangeness in Vera's expression, Jane thought it was his own changes that aroused his dissatisfaction, her eyes softened again, and she said softly:
"Don't worry, when mom comes to save me, I won't let her hurt you. I swear to protect you, just like you are doing now."
At this time, Vera turned her dull eyes away, as if she didn't hear clearly, and asked Jane in front of her: "You...what?"
Seeing this, Jane took the initiative to lean towards Vera and said firmly: "I promise that when my mother comes to rescue me, I will protect you and tell her everything clearly, and you will be fine."
Being watched by Jane, Vera did not dare to look at her, and instantly moved her gaze to the side.
As a death knight, Vera had taken countless lives, but it was not until today that he got such a promise from Jane.
A promise that can never be fulfilled.
