Undead Scourge who love farming

As Loren and his companions toured the territory, all the people spontaneously stopped to pay their respects to the man who had brought them a better life.

They held a deep and genuine respect for this powerful and benevolent lord.

Two hours later.

After a brief inspection of the territory, Loren led the two of them home.

He was very satisfied with the inspection.

The specific details of the territory were almost identical to the reports he had received.

This means that the provisional government that Lina and Xiaolong have formed in the past few days has not yet engaged in any deception or cover-up.

Of course, given the current limited size of the organization, it is still difficult for such a situation to occur. We should only start considering anti-corruption efforts once the territory becomes larger.

After returning to the city lord's mansion, Loren summoned Alice to his study, and of course, he specifically reminded her not to suddenly take off her clothes, which made Alice blush again.

After Alice arrived in the study, he prepared to arrange her next move.

After all, a super genius like a soul mage in the magical world certainly can't just waste their talent like that.

"Alice, what are your thoughts on going to school?"

He had already mentioned asking the other party to go to the school last week, but due to an unexpected event, the deal ultimately fell through.

So Lauren gave the other party a week to adjust.

Now, it's time for the other party to make a choice.

Seeing that Alice seemed hesitant, Lauren assumed that she was hesitant to interact with people due to her mental illness, so he offered her the second option.

"Even if you don't want to go to school, that's fine. You can stay in the city lord's mansion, and I will personally teach you in my spare time."

Upon hearing this, Alice, who had been hesitating, immediately made up her mind.

Although the current signs suggest that the city lord may be a good person, this could just be a facade. In reality, people secretly disappear every day to become experimental subjects.

Therefore, for your own safety, it's best to stay away from them for now.

After figuring all this out, Alice immediately said to Lauren.

"I am willing to go to school."

"Okay, then you can go to school in a couple of days. Although I don't know how good your foundation is, you should be fine starting from junior high school."

After saying something Alice couldn't understand, Lauren chased her out of the study.

Alice, now in the corridor, was filled with conflicting emotions.

What should I do? What exactly is this knowledge they want me to learn at school? Could it be some kind of strange, heretical magic?

She began to recall some of the dark magic that had been mentioned in the family and church libraries.

Black magic, which mostly achieves its purpose by sacrificing other living beings, such as flesh magic which requires the flesh and blood of other people to be cast.

This kind of magic is generally extremely powerful, but it can cause serious damage to the user's mind. Most wizards who use black magic will gradually turn into madmen.

The most famous example is the necromantic calamity of Marich, which occurred two thousand years ago.

According to history books, he was originally a very benevolent lord, but after his wife died, he began to develop his talent for necromancy in order to resurrect his beloved.

In the process of researching necromancy, his mind was gradually corrupted. After failing to resurrect his lover, he slaughtered the entire city and turned them all into undead.

After that, one of the worst disasters in history struck.

After a brief moment of recollection, Alice was immediately terrified by her own imagination.

I wonder if I'll turn into one of those madmen who only knows how to kill in the future. If that happens, I'd rather be dead.

She lowered her head, caught in an endless struggle.

Finally, she raised her emerald green eyes, which were filled with holiness and determination.

Let's go and see first. If it really is something blasphemous, then I'll commit suicide. It's definitely not because I'm afraid or anything. That's right, that's it.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Amidst her trepidation, Alice still entered the city built by that evil lord.

Surprisingly, yet predictably, the school has a very good environment.

Behind the school gate is a large open space with many flower beds and pavilions. Students carrying their schoolbags walk together in twos and threes, looking very harmonious.

After passing through the playground, there was a huge teaching building, which was more than ten meters high. It was impossible to tell what material it was made of. Could it be made of magic?

In short, the school looked perfectly normal on the outside, but Alice remained vigilant.

She still remembers the man-eating rice from last time; that evil creation had a profound impact on her.

As expected, under the influence of her talent [Soul Perception], she discovered that the souls of these teenagers, who were clearly only ten years old, seemed somewhat lifeless, like old people who were about to die.

Meanwhile, some students' souls were even filled with a very strong sense of resentment. If Alice hadn't been able to see their physical bodies, she would have thought they were ghosts.

This discovery immediately sent chills down Alice's spine.

This school really is a place that teaches evil black magic. Look at how these students' souls have been ravaged. Although no student's soul has been found to be damaged yet, this is probably because they haven't officially started learning black magic.

After all, according to the evil city lord, there is an evil organization above this junior high school called the high school. Perhaps the children in these cities will only begin to learn real black magic after they go to the high school.

Moreover, she heard that there was an exam called the high school entrance exam before going to high school. She had previously thought that, as Lauren said, this exam was just a test to distinguish children's special talents.

But now it seems that this exam is clearly designed to select those who are capable of learning black magic to go to that place called high school, while those who fail the exam will be used as experimental subjects by that evil city lord.

Damn it, it seems I'm going to die no matter what. Was all my hard work in trying to survive for so long for nothing?

Alice felt a lump in her throat again, and almost burst into tears.

"Brother, I heard you're going to be a senior in high school soon. How's it going?"

Just then, Alice heard a male voice behind her.

Senior year of high school? That must mean high schoolers. That's perfect, let me see in advance what kind of erosion high schoolers will experience.

As she thought this, she slowly turned around and looked at the soul of that senior high school student.

However, upon seeing it, she was almost scared to death on the spot.

The student's skin around his eyes had turned black, clearly caused by prolonged lack of sleep. His eyes were bloodshot, probably due to excessive eye strain or emotional excitement.

In short, this person looked so bad that an unsuspecting person would think he was about to die.

The other party's soul, however, seemed even more terrifying.

The overwhelming resentment made Alice unable to see the boundaries, and her soul seemed to decay even more. If the other party died now, he might immediately become a second-tier ghost.

Are these high school students? No wonder they're students of forbidden magic.

Will I be able to leave this school alive?
