Chapter 172 Morena's Scabbard
The not-so-big Tomorrow Magic School does not have a learning atmosphere. It is not a school at all, but just a warehouse where book thieves store the knowledge treasures they have looted.

Morena found that the situation at Tomorrow Magic School was a little different from what Domei said, but she didn't care. They just cooperated with each other and got what they needed.

They can also betray each other at critical moments without blaming or hating each other.

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between "rationalists" and "wise men".

The establishment of Weeping Town was an accident. At that time, Morena, who was listening to her sister telling her the story of "Molly's Scabbard", accidentally came to Soul Valley with a group of people.

There weren't many of them, and they just huddled together for warmth.

But one day, Morena's sister gained great power and became a powerful wizard. She was naturally chosen as the leader and became the mayor of Weeping Town.

Under the leadership of Morena's sister, they built walls to resist monsters and covered dilapidated houses to resist the cold. Everything was moving in a better direction, and even Morena herself became a wizard with the help of her sister.

She has a good talent for brewing potions. Her sister is responsible for leading the development of Weeping Town, and she uses potions to help the residents of Weeping Town get through every difficult night of illness and fight for the last chance to survive.

Everything is moving towards the better, as it should be.

But one day, Morena discovered that her sister had become abnormal. She began to reject contact with the outside world, as if she was affected by something, and she often listened to the whispering of something at night.

Morena, who had been hiding in the corner countless times, saw her sister kneeling on the ground listening to the instructions of that thing, confirming over and over again, waiting for the arrival of something, asking, talking to herself, and praying.

God has disappeared, and this is the consensus reached by the whole world.

The only ones who can listen to the words of God are the insane sages, believers in evil gods, redeemers, ritual saints, etc. In short, they are all lunatics with abnormal brains.

That state did not last long every day, and Morena found that her sister herself had never noticed this situation. Whenever she asked her sister who she was talking to, her sister would be at a loss and tell Morena not to joke.

But Morena knew that her sister had changed, or her soul had been polluted by something.

Her style of doing things completely changed, as did the way she did things. It seemed that her life had completely become one lived for others. This made Morena so frightened that she curled up in a ball for several nights, so frightened that she dared not breathe.

After one's thoughts are completely distorted and one loses one's self, even if the soul and body have not changed, is the person still oneself?

Morena thought of "Molly's Scabbard", which was her favorite story. For freedom, the brave Molly found the scabbard for the sword and inserted the sword into the chest of her father who disregarded her own happiness and only wanted to sell her for a good price.

So, for her sister's freedom, Morena walked into her sister's room one morning with a sword in hand. She held the sword with both hands and broke her sister's chest. The blood splattered on her face, hot.

Now she had found the scabbard.

The scabbard that belongs to Morena can free her sister.

It’s a pity that my sister never woke up from that contaminated state until her death.

Morena replaced her sister as the mayor of Weeping Town.

People didn't know what happened. They just thought that the sister died while practicing magic. They were just terrified. Most of them were blind and cowardly.

And Morena had no good feelings towards these residents who had lived in the asylum all their lives without knowing anything.

After countless times of eavesdropping, Morena roughly understood that her sister was waiting for someone to come to Weeping Town. It seemed like it was because of a prophecy, or something else. In short, something would definitely come.

In order to welcome the person in the "prophecy", Morena studied magic. She was a little crazy, but madness is sometimes a good medicine for studying magic.

She slowly walked along a path she could not even imagine, extracting human consciousness and soul, as if the land was guiding her on what to do.

When Morena came to her senses, all the residents of Weeping Town had become dazed, clumsy, and no longer able to think under her influence.

No one will be contaminated.

The next step was to continue waiting. When the group of people in strange clothes appeared, Morena knew very well...it was them!
The horrible existence that polluted her sister's spirit was the one that made her sister wait for.

Morena chose to accept these people. She observed them and slowly discovered what characteristics they had.

She discovered that these people had a strange speaking style, would suddenly disappear when sleeping, would not feel any pain, and would be resurrected in a corner of Weeping Town after death.

This also meant that she couldn't trap them, torture them, or kill them.

Morena could only try her best to suppress this group of people. She was helpless against a group of people who would not die. She tried not to make them dissatisfied, but also tried not to let them become too strong.

Wait a little longer, delay a little longer, just like that, maybe there will be a way.

Morena felt powerless.

This group of undead had no fear of the strong, and she didn't even dare to appear in front of them, because she had discovered several times that this group of people was very obsessed with "killing monsters".

Until that day, an old man came to the Weeping Town and he called himself Domei.

Dome also saw the characteristics of the undead. He first explained his identity to Morena. He was from the city of Leon. The city lord there was very powerful and seemed to have received some kind of prophecy. He asked his men to go to various places but did not say what they needed. It was very vague and there was no explanation.

After seeing the undead, Duomei was sure that the undead was what the lord wanted.

But none of that matters anymore, because Domei has no intention of handing over the precious undead to Lord Leon, and he himself doesn't have a good impression of the prophecy.

Dome asks Morena if she's interested in the undead.

This group of immortals who can never die are like a gift from God. They can help him acquire more knowledge faster.

Morena's desire for knowledge was not much, she just wanted to know who brought these things, and then she also wanted to cut off that thing's head...if that thing had a head.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Morena, through her observation and research on the undead over a period of time, helped Domei to compile an enrollment leaflet for the magic school.

She had heard from her sister's stories that some magic schools recruited students in this way.

They did succeed in bringing the undead into the Magic School of Tomorrow.

Now Dome is using the undead to conduct various research.

Morena also picked up magic, and her research on the soul became more and more in-depth.

But unknown and disturbing things will always come. A ghost that Morena left in Weeping Town that can replace her own eyes saw the uninvited guest.

According to Domei, that group of people should be the old aristocratic forces. It is said that the old aristocrats have fallen into madness after the magic ring was broken. They are no different from the disaster, but they are more powerful than the disaster because of the magic ring.

The person was riding a disaster horse, which also confirmed his identity.

So Morena chose to invade one of the weak-willed ones. She succeeded in controlling the other person, but also failed. She could only barely control them, but couldn't go any further.

And now Morena must hurry to find Dome, because when she was standing at the window just now, she saw a strong golden general holding a huge iron plate and splitting the iron gate of the castle.

Judging from the disaster horses they were riding, the newcomers should belong to the same camp as the old aristocratic forces trapped by Morena.

In this castle, they had dozens of undead, one or two hundred residents of Weeping Town, and two wizards, himself and Domei.

And there were only three people on the other side.

There is trouble, but it shouldn't be a big problem, she is very calm.
