Chapter 139: A lone leaf in a boat calls out to someone who won’t come…
Hovyalin - Church darkroom.
Neve opened the wooden door, and with the candlelight inside, she looked at Reilold who was standing in front of the goddess statue, staring at it without blinking.
She walked over and reminded him, "It's almost time."
Hearing this, Reilold turned around and gave a cruel smile: "Oh, it's okay, let them fight for a while longer."
In this kind of situation, of course the more people who die, the better.
Did the Pope even anticipate the Iskanar royal family's request for assistance? It didn't matter; what mattered was the document in his hand. Without it, the Church still wouldn't send troops.
He lowered his head, his eyes gloomy. Weifeiya was actually invited by someone else to have afternoon tea in the greenhouse. Even though this happened a long time ago, he still felt unhappy. Who the hell was that person? How could he invite her?
It would be better for a fool who is so stupid and unaware to die in this turmoil, so as to save him the time of killing him later.
If I had this much time, I might as well make things difficult for her. Maybe...
His eyes became obsessed. Maybe she would attack him?
Thinking of this, he felt annoyed again. It seemed that he had let her see what he was thinking.
What should I do? Vifiya will definitely avoid him.
His eyes fell on her former personal maid.
He turned around, his eyes calm again: "Hey, you really don't want to tell me about Vifiya?"
He had been patiently pestering this woman for a long time. If she had not been with Vifiya for a long time and he wanted to understand her, he would have taken action against her long ago.
Neve glanced at him calmly, then raised her head to look at the goddess statue: "I have rejected you many times."
His eyes flicked to the dagger on her waist that she always wore, and he asked nonchalantly, "Really?"
"Forget it." He shrugged, took out the documents hidden on his body, and said, "Let's go, dog that keeps secrets for its previous owner."
Neve ignored his sarcasm and followed behind him, gently lifting her eyelids, her brown pupils vaguely falling on the back that was open in front of her.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The dagger at the waist was suddenly unsheathed!
"Zheng!"
The sharp iron tools clashed fiercely, and Raylord's laughter filled his ears. He seemed to be in a very good mood. "As expected of a maid who follows Vifia, even this aspect is very similar to her."
Neve was startled, but quickly reacted and quickly distanced herself from him.
Lei Luode was in no hurry to deliver any documents. He thought of something and put the handle of the dagger against her neck, his eyes full of infatuation. "Unfortunately, I must not die in your hands. The only one who can kill me is Vifiya."
Neve gripped the dagger tightly. Seeing him immersed in his own world, she said expressionlessly, "You're disgusting."
Lei Luode retracted his gaze and turned the dagger indifferently: "That's just like..."
He pointed at her with a stern look in his eyes, and said with a playful smile, "A dog that betrayed its master."
Neve was unmoved. She was no longer at the age where she would get angry and embarrassed over the slightest words.
She missed her first good chance to kill him.
She had no chance of winning if she fought head-on, but fortunately...
She glanced at the door behind him; she was sure he wouldn't just leave.
The next second, Lei Luode said: "But since you are ready to kill me, I can't just say nothing."
He pointed the tip of the dagger at Neve.
He didn't care about the reason why she wanted to kill him, it didn't matter, nor did he care why she betrayed Vifia. After all, he had betrayed her once, and it felt pretty good, he liked it very much.
"I'll give you another chance. If you tell me something about Vifiya that I don't know, I might consider letting you walk out of the dark room alive." Lei Luode said with a smile.
Neve stared at him, as if considering something. Her eyes swept back and forth between Reilold and the wooden door behind her. After thinking for a while, she said, "How can you promise?"
Hearing that she was willing to give in, he couldn't help but be surprised: "So you are also so afraid of death."
Niv glanced at him speechlessly: "Everyone is afraid of death."
Reilold looked at her scrutinizingly, as if trying to discern the truth in her words.
After a while, he retracted the dagger and pointed at the wooden door: "Next time, tell me."
After saying that, he took a few steps to the side.
Neve cautiously put the dagger back into her waist, without taking her hand away from the dagger. She leaned sideways and moved a little bit at a time.
Not until she was getting farther and farther away from him, almost approaching the wooden door, did she carefully expose her back.
Neve lowered her eyes and watched the moment her foot stepped out of the wooden door. She instantly drew out the dagger from her waist, turned around, and blocked it in front of her chest!
"Zheng!"
"Ha!" Raylord looked at Neveu who blocked his attack with interest, "She actually managed to block it."
He exerted force with the hand holding the dagger, threw away the documents with one hand, grabbed Neve's shoulders, and pulled her towards him!
The dagger pierced into the flesh, causing Neveu to frown in pain, her face turning pale, and the smell of blood wafting into her nose.
Everything happened in just a moment.
The next second, a dagger with a cold glow suddenly pierced into Reilood's heart. At the same time, Neve released the defensive hand, stopped struggling, and followed Reilood's strength to pull him towards herself!
This was a second chance to kill him.
After years of surveillance, how could she not see through this little word game? She walked out of the dark room alive, but what happened after she walked out of the dark room?
She will do it.
She will do well.
The defenseless dagger pierced deeply into her chest. She couldn't help but groan, but still didn't let go of the hand holding the dagger. She kept exerting force, she had to kill him here!
Lei Luode's smile froze and his eyes widened, as if he didn't expect that he would be succeeded so easily. He moved back in an instant, but unexpectedly, Neve followed him back into the dark room.
I gradually lost my breath and saw layer upon layer of dark shadows before my eyes.
Ah, just like in his previous life, the feeling before death, Lei Luode was filled with rage. A slave! How dare he kill him!
Only Vifiya...only Vifiya could do this to him!
At this moment, he didn't care at all. He used up his last bit of strength to pull out the dagger that was stuck in her body and stabbed it into her stomach!
He also used up all his strength.
"Bang."
Neve's breathing became rapid as she watched Raylord collapse to the ground, only breathing weakly.
She covered the blood flowing from her stomach, staggered a few times, held onto the not-so-rough wall, and slid down the wall.
My breathing gradually became heavy, and it felt like there was a hole in my chest, with wind leaking out from front to back.
That day, she heard the conversation between the Pope and the goddess, and the young lady was also there. No matter why she heard it, she didn't dare to bet.
She only knew that she couldn't let the church's troops go to provide support.
She only knew that the man named Lei Luode was obsessed with the young lady, and his existence would threaten the young lady.
besides……
She held her breath and stared at Raylord's heaving chest until he completely lost his breath in a pool of blood beneath him.
Relieved, Neve slid down a little more. She felt her eyelids were about to fall down and she was losing air.
Even the severe pain caused by the two holes in his body was slightly relieved as his whole body gradually became cold.
Her brown eyes gradually dimmed, sadness filled her eyes, and she couldn't help but think of that person again...
Her lady.
The person who is particularly important in her boring and gloomy life.
Miss……
sorry……
This should be me for you...
The last thing I did...
She tried her best to open her gradually lifeless eyes. She heard something that she wanted to tell the young lady. She also wanted to tell the young lady.
I didn't betray.
I want to do something for the lady.
She didn't know whether it was because her memories before death became clearer, or because they were already indelible in her memory, but she remembered every scene in the basement, every movement of Vifiya, every subtle expression, clearly.
Every time I think back and recall it, it feels like being tortured to death.
The lady was very sad that day...
Warmth flowed across my cheeks.
It's so strange. I'm almost dying and my heart is clearly not hurt, so why does it hurt so much?
The faint breath was slipping away, and the body tried to hold it back, but had to reject it.
Miss……
Miss……
Miss……
The brain is unconsciously calling out for someone who will not appear here.
I want to see you...
Will you come?
Will you forgive me?
Neve knew that her questions were in vain, how could she not understand her lady.
You won't come.
I betrayed you.
I hurt you.
But I...
I still want to see you...
Her vision finally became blurred again. This time, she could not struggle. Her pupils lost their light and her eyelids covered her with darkness.
"How pitiful." The tender voice of the little girl rang clearly in the silent dark room.
"Awen, come closer." Steady footsteps approached.
Neve was no longer able to think. The last thing she could feel was her life approaching extinction. As she stepped into the cold winter, even the pain was disappearing.
The innocent-looking child exclaimed, "What a clever battle."
The child's clear eyes turned to the woman holding her, and she smiled slyly: "Awen, she has someone she wants to see."
After a pause, her expression remained unchanged as she asked curiously, "What about you? Do you want to see it too?"
The woman lowered her eyes as she looked at the man who was about to die. Her gentle gaze turned to the child: "This cannot be called regret."
"Really?" Helena curled her lips and turned her gaze back to Neve, who was lying in a pool of blood. She was as good as dead.
The child watched her, quietly sensing her life silently collapsing in the lonely night.
In the dark room, Helena could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
She suddenly stretched out her hand, and points of light gathered in her palm. A magic circle started to operate rapidly, and complex runes poured out and poured into the body of the person in front of her.
Neve, who was originally only left with a breath of air, suddenly had her chest heaving violently.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" A mouthful of blood gushed out of her throat. Her brows were furrowed, and she looked even more painful than before.
"Whether you can hold on until the person you want to see arrives depends on you."
Not everyone can make up for their regrets before death.

"What's wrong?" Arnold looked down at Vifiya who had arrived not long ago.
Hearing his voice, Vifiya came back to her senses. She looked at Arnold and said, "It's okay."
She suppressed the sudden uneasiness in her heart and forced her attention to the magician who was still unconscious.
Arnold had just briefly explained to her the information he had gathered.
The magician is now in Iscana. If they kill him here, the possibility of them being suspected is not high. On the contrary, it will cause trouble for the Pope and cause great trouble for Aulite.
Weifeiya tried her best to ignore the noise in her head and said, "Don't worry about him. Let them doubt it themselves."
"Okay." Arnold agreed with her decision.
He silently observed the girl's absent-mindedness since she entered the prayer room, which was very abnormal.
Vifiya knew very well that since the church matter had been resolved, their first choice should be to leave.
But...why was she feeling a little nervous?
Ever since she used the map projected by the necklace to look for Arnold and noticed that there were several dark rooms under the church, she couldn't get rid of this feeling. What could be inside?
Which church or castle doesn't have a few secret passages and secret rooms? It's obviously very common.
She really couldn't ignore this feeling. She rarely felt inexplicably anxious.
This feeling is terrible, very terrible.
It was the same feeling she had when she realized that she had truly lost all information about [Vefiya].
She should have gone and seen it.
But this is not a place where we can stay for long, at least we can't let Arnold take risks with us and increase the risk.
The fingers hanging at her sides curled up, she raised her head, suppressed the hesitation in her heart, and said the same words as before, except for the almost inaudible uneasiness: "Let's go."
