Chapter 710 A Promise
When Gervis held Adela.
Because Adela's sobbing was not concealed, it attracted the attention of the guards in the manor.
However, when the guards saw Gervis present and the two of them hugging each other, they tactfully retreated quietly, pretending that they had not seen the two of them at all.
Even Waddington could only shake his head and leave after seeing this.
In this way, the two of them stood motionless by the lake, hugging each other for five or six minutes.
After five or six minutes, Adela finally stopped crying, but she still buried her head in Gervis' arms, holding on to Gervis and unwilling to let go.
"Adela! I'm sorry!"
Feeling Adela hugging him tightly, Gervis gently stroked her back.
Although the silky touch of the hollowed-out back was very enjoyable, Gervis was not in the mood for it at the moment.
What he wanted now was to calm the girl in his arms as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to leave tomorrow and would not be able to rest in peace then.
"I don't want you to feel sorry for me! Gervis!"
Adela reacted a little too strongly to Gervis's apology and replied in a hoarse voice.
"Okay! Okay! I won't tell you!"
"Adela, even though I'm going to the Sacred Forest tomorrow, I will still come back to see you later!"
Gervis knew that Adela thought he was going to say goodbye to her, so she didn't want to hear any words of apology, and immediately changed her words of consolation.
Through these days of contact, Gervis has actually been conquered by Adela, the innocent and lovely daughter of a wealthy family.
He admitted that he was not a gentleman or a good man.
If he had told Adela about Alice's existence when he saw that Adela had feelings for him, perhaps Adela would not have gone to this point and fallen deeper and deeper.
But Gervis was not like that at that time, which led to everything that happened today. Maybe it was the selfishness of men that was at work!
Of course, one thing is certain: at that time, Gervis did not expect things to develop so quickly.
"Grevith! I can't bear to leave you!"
There was a hint of despair in Adela's words, and this was what she cared about most.
Gervis already has a wife and is about to leave. She knows that once they separate, the hope of seeing Gervis again will be slim. Even if they really meet in the future, as time goes by, Gervis may have forgotten her feelings.
"Adela, listen to me!"
Gervis felt extremely compassionate, knowing that his departure might be like the end of the world for Adela.
I remembered that Adela looked around all day long trying to find me.
Thinking of Adela's meticulous care for him during the days when he was injured, Gervis finally couldn't help it.
He decided to make a promise to this girl!
He immediately said to Adela solemnly.
"Adela! I promise you, I will come to find you after Stormwind City is built!"
"Then, if you're willing, I'll take you away! Okay?"
Without Stormwind City being built, Gervis and his ministers would be like rootless duckweed, without any foundation in this sacred continent.
Since he couldn't even take care of himself at that time, Gervis naturally didn't want Adela to suffer with him.
And even if he really wanted to take Adela away now, Duke Edward probably wouldn't agree.
Therefore, the best option is to let Adela stay in the City of Hope and complete her studies.
Wait until I can give her enough security and a stable life, then I will come to take Adela away.
"Really?"
Gervis' tone was serious, and Adela obviously knew the meaning of the three words "take you away".
After listening to this, she paused, and finally raised her head to look at Gervis, her eyes full of hope.
"Yes, Adela! As long as you are willing, I will take you away when the time comes! We will never be apart for the rest of our lives!"
Gervis confirmed again.
"Um!"
At this moment, Adela finally returned to heaven from hell, and the trace of despair in her eyes had disappeared.
She finally got a satisfying answer. Although she still had to wait for a long time, she was not afraid of anything because she had a promise, which was her hope.
Her fierce knight has never let her down!
…
Under the bright moonlight, the two looked into each other's eyes, and Adela, wearing a snow-white dress, snuggled up to Gervis.
Slowly, Adela tilted her head back and closed her eyes, as if she was waiting for something.
When Gervis saw this, he didn't hesitate at all and bent down to kiss her.
"well!"
Duke Edward stood a few hundred meters away, looking at Adela and Gervis, his slightly mottled face filled with a complicated expression. He wanted to walk over and say something, but in the end he could only sigh.
"Come on, let's go back to the banquet hall and dance!"
Now that the promise had been made, Gervis fortunately let it go, and naturally he had to try his best to take care of Adela's emotions tonight.
"Grevith, will Sister Alice be angry? Or maybe we should just give up!"
Adela, whose cheeks were burning and feeling a little suffocated, took three or four seconds to finally speak.
Adela was already very satisfied to get Gervis' promise.
She would never dare to go back to the banquet hall and dance with Gervis under Alice's gaze!
"It's okay, we'll go up and dance together, Alice won't be angry!"
Before coming, Alice specifically asked Gervis to comfort Adela, so Gervis was fearless.
Of course, Gervis didn't dare to explain the promise he made to Adela to Alice for the time being. He could only wait until he returned to the sacred forest and then slowly do the work.
"Um!"
In the end, Adela couldn't resist the temptation to dance with Gervis and nodded immediately.
Then, Adela took out a handkerchief from her storage space, wiped the tears from her face, and then followed Gervis towards the small building.
"Sister Adela!"
Seeing Gervis and Adela coming in, Alice greeted Adela with pity!
"Sister Alice!"
Adela still felt a little guilty, but when she saw the gentleness in Alice's eyes, she immediately felt relieved and responded obediently.
"Alice, I invite Adela to come up and dance now!"
After the two of them greeted each other, Gervis quickly interrupted.
"Well, go ahead! Sister Adela is so beautiful tonight, we can't let anyone else have her!"
Alice saw Adela's red eyes and naturally knew how she felt before.
Hearing what Gervis said, there was no objection at all.
Adela felt a little embarrassed by Alice's teasing words. She lowered her head and dared not speak. Then she was pulled to the dance floor by Gervis.
Next, Gervis and Adela danced slowly to the melodious music. Their appearance was just like Gervis and Alice's before, and they immediately became the focus of the scene.
Of course, at this moment, most of the young men in the field looked at Gervis with extremely jealous eyes. This god of death was simply not a human being. He actually danced with two such beautiful women at the same time.
If they could have even half the ability of the God of Death, they would wake up laughing in their dreams.
…
The next morning, outside the City of Hope.
The elven delegation of more than 500 people is ready to go. Gervis and Alice are saying goodbye to Edward and Adela at this time!
"Gevis! The orcs' envoys returned yesterday. This time you have offended Dosalon so much! Be careful when you return! The Sacred Forest is too far away from the Sacred Alliance, so we are definitely unable to support you."
Edward solemnly said something to Gervis when they parted!
"Thank you, Duke Edward. Don't worry! I will definitely pay attention to it!"
Gervis thanked Edward very respectfully.
"Well! Then let Waddington take you to the City of Hope later!"
After saying that, Edward walked aside, apparently to give Gervis and Adela space to talk!
"Grevith, you must be careful!"
Although she had received the promise, Adela still couldn't help feeling reluctant at the moment of separation.
"Don't worry, Adela!"
Gervis smiled slightly, then took out three more wooden boxes!
"Adela, this wooden box is for you!"
As he spoke, Gervis handed Adela a wooden box containing six potions, each of which contained three potions with different effects!
"The other two wooden boxes are for Lachi and Zenia!"
Then, Gervis handed the other two wooden boxes to Adela again.
One of the two wooden boxes only contains one affinity potion, which is for Zenia!
The other one contains two potions for strengthening the body and one potion for increasing mental strength, and it is for Laci!
Two days ago, Gervis restored his face and went to the academy to see Lach as Harry and said goodbye to him, but he did not confess to Lach that he was the God of Death for the time being.
Because Gervis knew that Laci seemed to have a little hostility towards the God of Death, it would be embarrassing to reveal his identity to his face.
Leaving these three potions for him now is a way of expressing gratitude and apology to Laci.
Although Laci cannot take the potion that increases mental strength, he can sell it or give it to his father. I believe he can gain a lot of benefits from it.
"Yeah! Gervis, I'll give them to Lachi and Zenia!"
Adela was very well-behaved and immediately took the wooden boxes.
"Then let's go! Just study at the academy!"
Gervis solemnly began to say goodbye!
"I will, Gervase!"
After the two finished talking, Gervis stepped aside, and Adela turned her attention to Alice again!
"Sister Alice! I'm going to miss you!"
As she said that, Adela threw herself into Alice's arms. She really felt Alice's kindness towards her and truly regarded Alice as her sister!
"Sister Adela, I will miss you too!"
"Don't cry anymore! Gervis and I will come back to see you when we have time!"
Alice gave Adela a hug with pity!
"Um!"
"Good-bye, then! Adela!"
"Goodbye, Gervis!"
"Goodbye! Sister Alice!"
Afterwards, Gervis and his group did not delay any longer and headed towards the Sky City under the leadership of Waddington.
Olde cut off one of Dosalon's arms and extorted 100,000 gold coins from him. Gervis was not only a god of death but also a mysterious pharmacist. Naturally, they could no longer return to the Sacred Forest from the Orc King's Court!
Therefore, in order for them to return to the Sacred Forest as soon as possible, Edward specially asked them to go to the edge of the Sacred Alliance through the only teleportation array in the Sky City. This way, they could reduce most of the distance and return to the Sacred Forest as soon as possible.
During this period, they needed to teleport three times in a row to reach the edge of the Holy Alliance through this small teleportation array.
Fortunately, Edward had already made arrangements for the other two teleportations, which were to the holy cities of the two city lords, Johnson and Bruno.
When they reach the edge of the Holy Alliance, they only need to take a detour through the Dark Swamp and the Flame Grassland to reach the Sacred Forest.
Because they saved the time of crossing most of the Holy Alliance, it is actually not much slower than when Alice and others came!
…
"Grevith! I'll be waiting for you!"
As Gervis and others walked further and further away, crystal tears finally appeared in Adela's eyes again!
"Let's go! My pearl! When the Land of God's Fall is opened, grandpa will take you to see Gervis!"
Edward walked up, took Adela's hand, and comforted her with a distressed look!
