"Lord Rhodes, I am willing to join the Undead Army, but at least please allow me to say goodbye to my companions."
After agreeing to join the legion, Vera asked Rhodes.
Rhodes nodded and did not refuse his request: "You only have a short while."
While Rowling was looking for the Dragon Whisperer prophecy card, Rhodes planned to return to Mount Doom to have a look, and then send the legion members to the depths of the underground to join Commander Farese there.
This period of time is also the time for Rhodes to say goodbye to Vera. When Rhodes returns, he will use his spiritual mark to recall Vera and let many legion members go to the outskirts of the Magic King's Tomb.
Understanding the meaning of Rhodes' words and knowing that she was pressed for time, Vera did not bother to stay longer at the legion's station and quickly returned to her residence.
Outside the residence, Vera saw the girl who was watering the newly cultivated flowerbed.
The sky on the island is gloomy, and the dark sky covers all directions, providing an excellent habitat for the ocean undead. The rich energy of death spreads all around, and even the soil has been deeply eroded, turning gray and rotten.
Everything here is like the City of the Undead in Vera's memory, but what is different from the City of the Undead in Vera's memory is that everything on the island is more prosperous. It is the splendor blooming above death. Every undead mage has a face.
Everything is full of expectations and a bit of fanaticism.
The necromancer named Rhodes brought death and disaster to this isolated island, and even the entire ocean was being eaten away by necromancers bit by bit. Those necromancers will follow Rhodes to the world.
More places.
Those flower seeds will not bloom, or even sprout. The only thing that can accompany the necromancer is the cursed earth. Vera knew all this, but he said nothing, but went with Jane
Bury the flower seeds and listen to her tell her joy and expectations.
"Did you know? There used to be a circle of flowers like this outside my yard. Every year when a group of whales jumped out of the sea, those flowers would bloom. Even if the windows were closed, the house would be filled with fragrance. I miss those days very much.
."
The girl's murmur seemed to ring in her ears again, and Vera unknowingly came to Jane's side.
"You're back? I saw you looked anxious when you left. Nothing happened, right?"
Soon, the girl's concerned voice interrupted Vera's thoughts. He sighed, but didn't know how to speak. After a while, he said: "I...may have to leave Gwen Island."<
/p>
Jane stopped watering, and her eyes were blank for a while. She looked at Vera and said sadly: "Are you going to leave me? Didn't you say you want me to plant those bright flowers together?" Vera couldn't bear to look at Jane at this moment. He felt sad for a while, but he still explained: "I received the order from the master. He asked me to join the Undead Legion and fight with other legion members... I'm sorry, I
I can’t stay on the island to accompany you and see those flowers bloom one day.”
What Vera didn't expect was that after hearing what he said, Jane showed a look of relief: "It turned out to be the master's order... Vera, I don't blame you. In this case, you should just carry out the master's mission with peace of mind.
”
Vera was stunned. He looked at Jane at this moment, as if he felt a little strange.
This strange feeling was not something Vera felt suddenly. Ever since Jane woke up, he had been vaguely aware that something was wrong with Jane.
After the battle at the Treasure House in the Cloud, Vera realized that the way Jane regained life was not the reincarnation of perfectly resurrecting other creatures, but a unique ability of Rhodes. If Vera remembered correctly, then
It should be called "Death Realm".
Jane, who was reborn in the realm of death, looked the same as before, but something seemed to have changed deep in her soul. The most intuitive point was her attitude towards Rhodes.
In Vera's impression, Jane's attitude towards Rhodes was once completely different. Many companions on the island became undead creatures under Rhodes' command. Even the legendary mage who guarded the island did the same. Jane
It is impossible to let go of this hatred.
However, with Jane's resurrection, she seemed to have completely let go of her hatred. When she mentioned Rhodes, instead of showing any resentment, her words were full of admiration and reverence, just like...
Just like those members of the undead army.
Suddenly, Vera seemed to realize something. He subconsciously took a few steps back, and his eyes changed involuntarily when he looked at the girl in front of him.
Jane didn't seem to notice what Vera was thinking, and watered the flower seeds buried in the flower bed again, humming softly.
Vera felt a chill in her heart. At this moment, his teeth trembled slightly. Before that, he was still feeling lucky that Jane had put down her hatred and was willing to accept herself. However, he did not expect that everything was not what he thought. In the realm of death, she
Her consciousness has been severely distorted. Although the girl in front of her looks the same as Jane and has all the memories of the past, her consciousness has finally changed.
Finally, Vera plucked up the courage and said to Jane: "Let's... let's find a way to leave Gwen Island..."
Jane showed doubts in her eyes: "Why do you say that?"
"This is not the real you. Maybe you can recover after leaving here..." Vera said incoherently, "I can't defeat him. In front of him, I can't even maintain my own will...
...We can only find short-term peace by escaping far away..."
"You are very strange today." Jane put down the water vessel and looked at Vera strangely, "You don't want to leave the master, do you? Or do you mean that you dare not accept the master's order?"
Vera showed a painful expression. He had many things to say to the girl in front of him, but he was also very afraid, afraid that the girl in front of him was just a manipulated puppet.
In front of the necromancer, all creatures that master spiritualism are just puppets under his command. Even Vera herself cannot escape the fate of becoming a puppet.
Finally, Vera calmed down the expression on her face, and faced the girl in front of her, showing the same smile as before, but with a bit more bitterness: "Keep watering... Maybe it won't be long before those seeds will grow.
One day it will sprout."
The girl nodded happily, and then continued her original actions. What she didn't see was that Vera's eyes were filled with firm light, which belonged to the hero's will.
