As Rhode entered the prison to find out, Vera stayed on the shore but didn't know what to do for a while.

In the perception, strong mana fluctuations erupted inside the cliff, and then was covered by a greater death energy. Even at this time, Vera felt extremely shocked when he felt this death energy. But Vera knew that Rod 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 directly on the ground. At this time, she was facing Vera with her back, and seemed to put down all guards, but Vera couldn't see her front face.

Seeing her lonely figure, Vera walked towards her involuntarily under the urging of a certain emotion.

Slowing her pace, stepping gently on the soft grass, and coming behind her, Vera heard her sobbing again. In addition, Vera heard her whisper.

"mother……"

Calling with a choked soft voice, it reached Vera's ears, Vera stopped for a moment and fell into deep silence.

When her home was destroyed, even her own life fell into the hands of the enemy. She did not know how she would be treated. The only thing she could do when she was in desperate situation was to call her mother like a child. , Prayed in her heart, praying that her mother would be able to rescue her.

Perceiving 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. Judging from the situation on the island, she might have been transformed into a corpse witch king. Her call was destined to receive no response.

Recalling the past experience, Vera was touched in her heart. After coming to the mage's side, Vera squatted down on one side of her body, keeping her body level with her.

"...What's your name? My name is Vera Pest."

Vera said with a sullen face, his original intention was to comfort the mage in front of him, but for some reason, the words spoken turned into an interrogative tone.

"...Jane." Noting Vera's approach, she turned her body sideways, unwilling to let Vera watch her at this time, but Vera still saw the tears on her face.

"Don't... worry, Jane, you will be fine, Lord Lord promised to spare your life, you won't just... die."

Vera gritted his teeth and finished these words. He never thought that using words to comfort a person was ten times more difficult than releasing the cloud of death to kill a person.

When Vera said this, Jane glanced at him, 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...trust you?" Jane asked with uncertainty.

Although Jane did not fully trust the approaching Vera, she could still feel that Vera was not as bad as the leader. The previous behavior of Vera blocking the death cloud had already been deeply seen by Jane.

"Of course you can." With that, Vera sat down on the grass on the cliff, following what Jane was like at this time.

Seeing Vera approaching, Jane quickly retracted her legs, wrapped her hands around her calves, leaned her head on her thighs, and looked at Vera aside defensively.

"Not long ago, I was a qualified death knight. It was my duty to harvest life and transform undead creatures. How could I have thought that I would become what I am now, even at the mercy of my master's will. My master must have been disappointed in me, thinking that I am too Weak too much." Vera sighed as if thinking of something.

Lyle’s death brought a great touch to Vera. Since then, he has been unable to act on other people without any burden as he used to. He believes that behind everyone, there are people who are worried about them. This is also true The reason why he chose to save Jane.

What makes Vera sigh is that the main reason Rhodes is willing to let Jane go is because of his previous achievements. Those necromancers who were killed by Vera without burden in Eri eventually became him. Jane's bargaining chip.

"Tell me about your mother." Seeing Jane's expression low, Vera tried to comfort her: "Maybe, I can let you see her, provided she is still alive."

Let Jane see her mother is the greatest promise Vera can give. This is the limit Vera can do without violating the will of Rhodes. Vera doesn’t know what he did. 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. Everyone knows her."

Hearing what Jane said, with the death knight's body that didn't need to breathe, Vera still took a breath. He already knew who Jane was talking about.

"I have seen her. She has led many wizards to resist the master's attack... Not long ago, Lord Rhode was beaten back, and now I don't know where to hide on the island."

For some reason, Vera no longer looked at Jane next to him, but stared at the grass in front of him blankly, and the words in his mouth were not coherent.

"Great! I knew that mom would have nothing to do." She was excited when she heard Vera's words, there was a bright look in her eyes, and the whole person radiated a kind of light.

"She will definitely come to me!" As she said, she wiped her tears, her eyes firmed up, her original weakness quickly receded, and instead she was determined to recognize one thing in her heart.

On the side, Vera fell into silence, silently moving his gaze from the grass to the wider sea. The waves slapped under the cliffs, and the tide rushed, never stopping.

Feeling the strangeness in Vera's expression, Jane thought it was her own change that caused his dissatisfaction, her eyes softened again, and she said softly:

"Don't worry, when my mother comes to save me, I won't let her hurt you. I swear I will protect you, just like you do now."

At this moment, Vera turned his sluggish gaze away, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and asked Jane in front of him: "You...what?"

Upon seeing this, Jane took the initiative to lean towards Vera and said firmly: "I promise that when my mother comes to save me, I will protect you and tell her everything clearly, and you will be fine."

Being watched by Jane, Vera didn't dare to look at him, and instantly moved her gaze to the side.

As a death knight, Vera didn't know how many lives had been taken, but it was not until today that he received such a promise from Jane.

A promise that will never be fulfilled.
