Volume 5 The Return of the King 178 The Death of Mograini

I know and believe that human beings have souls, but I don't know that human souls will be torn apart like strips of cloth.

I have the impression that it is difficult for me to associate the soul with the physical substance, the soul is a kind of ...... You may be able to see something that you may or may not see, you may be able to touch but you can't feel it. What the hell is it, anyway, I haven't heard a convincing explanation for me.

But from Mograine's mouth, I knew what a soul was, and at least I had a new understanding.

I remember the soul of the blind Mary in the cemetery in Brightwood, but I prefer to call it a "ghost" rather than a soul.

Mograine never appeared in front of me, but his voice guided me as if he were right above me and everywhere, he could talk to me, but he knew what was happening in the distance, as if everything around him was unreservedly present under his eyes.

But despite this, he told me he couldn't get out of here.

He was stripped from Mograini by Kel'thugad, and easily by him.

The reason is his son...... Renault.

It is said that mourning is greater than death, and Mograini said that he suffered a heavy blow for the second time in his life. The first was accompanied by the birth of Darien Mograini, his youngest son, and his wife, Elena Mograini, died in childbirth. He loved his wife dearly, and he said that on the day of Elena's death, he even thought of trading his son Darian's life for his wife. But Yelena ended up closing her eyes forever.

This incident hit him very hard, and in his words, in his heart he loved most not his son, but Elena, and then his two sons. But Yelena's death has become a foregone conclusion, and he can only accept this reality in the end, but he has an indescribable sadness when he looks at his youngest son for a long time, and finally he puts his love for Yelena on Darian, and this child is indeed quite competitive, he sees more of Yelena's shadow in Darian.

Perhaps this is why he pays more attention to his second son Darian, and the younger son gets more love, as the eldest son, Renault will be consciously or unconsciously asked by his father to grow up and mature quickly to take care of his younger brother when he grows up.

Speaking of which, Mograini seems to be a little remorseful, his heart is full of remorse and regret for the past at this time, he actually has love for his eldest son Renault, but he ignored it, he unconsciously and unconsciously ignored the heart of this eldest son.

He said that perhaps for this reason, Renault actually began to hate himself in his heart, which also led to a second fatal blow in his life.

Mograini told me what exactly happened to him that day...... He was patrolling east of the northern watchtower when he suddenly received news that Darien was in distress.

This was the second time he had taken his two sons on patrol, but at Renault's prodding, Tarian asked him to lead a patrol to another place, the first time he had left his father to patrol alone, and Mograine immediately disagreed, but Darien, perhaps out of rebellion, had to prove his bravery.

There were many old friends present, so Mograini finally agreed, and he repeatedly asked Darien to be careful, to be careful. He said that he somehow agreed to his idea that day......

He felt uneasy the first night, and the next afternoon someone came to report that something had happened to Darian. The news was like a bolt from the blue, and it seemed that he already had a premonition, was a little prepared, and was just waiting for things to happen.

When he suddenly came to his senses, he immediately ran to the place where Darien had happened, but according to the traces, they chased all the way to Stratholme, which was here.

But there was no Darion waiting for them, only an overwhelming scourge of the undead.

His squad was surrounded in an instant, only this time they were surrounded and they never managed to get out. He said that in the past, when he faced the undead scourge army, he dared to rush in the face of more than ten times the undead, and in front of the ash bringer, those undead were no stronger than dry vermicelli. At first, Mograini didn't take them seriously, and in his words, the spirits were like wheat in a field, waiting for him to harvest them with the power of the Light.

But it didn't take long for his team to be overwhelmed by the corpse tide, and he was saddened, but even angrier, and he ran away at the thought that his son might also be in such a situation. He single-handedly wiped out the tide of corpses, and he was mortally wounded and exhausted. He slumped on the ground and tried to call out his companion's name, but then the smoke filled the air, and there was only a dim, dead silence.

At this time, his son's voice sounded behind him, it was Renault, Renault appeared behind him, he was tired and wanted to lie down and rest, when he heard his son's voice, he did not have the slightest doubt, nor the slightest guard.

He had told Renault to call for reinforcements.

However, Renault appeared beside him and picked up the sword on the ground, and he did not suspect it at this time, but then there was a force from his back, and when he sensed that he was feeling a little unwell, he saw the sword pierce his chest, and the sword pierced through his chest directly from the back.

He was incredulous, and then struggled to look back and realize that it was Renault and he felt as if the sky had fallen.

The light was extinguished, and the light on the Ash Bridger, which had been glittering, was extinguished. He watched as the light on the sword suddenly extinguished, as if it were his heart.

Renault was crying, but the cry puzzled him, he didn't know what he was crying about, he didn't know why Renault was crying. He only felt that Renault seemed to be gritting his teeth as he cried.

His consciousness was blurring, and when he felt cold, he had no memory anymore. Until when he opened his eyes again, darkness and cold enveloped him, and he was confused and afraid. And it was when he saw himself that he really fell into fear, and that self was not only alive but also turned into a killing machine.

He was in a state of panic, and it was the most terrifying time of his life. But no matter how much he called out to the living self, he ignored it, and he felt that he was fading away, his energy was gradually draining, and he felt that his time was running out. Even if he saw his son Darion and I here, he couldn't do anything, but he was relieved, and he was satisfied to see Darion again before he died, but he was worried, because this was the palace of Naxxramas, Kel'thugad, the command post of the Scourge of the Dead, the research institute of the plague, and the source of death.

He was so anxious that he could only watch his children and friends face death, but I chose the right approach and the right path. And when he saw us fighting the resurrected self, he felt that the extinguished Ashbringer was not completely extinguished, and the energy gushing out of my body made him suddenly feel power.

It was the energy within me that allowed him to communicate with us through the Ember Bringer. But he knew it wouldn't last long, and that after the Ember Bringer had slain him, the soul in that body had attached itself to the sword and had been taken away by Darien.

I was amazed by his words, and I realized that souls can be torn apart. It was Mograine's soul that was imprisoned in that body, but that soul was full of anger and hatred, and that soul was full of resentment and thirst for revenge. Darien took the sword with him, and if he guided Darien, he must have gone to Renault for revenge.

For this situation, this kind Mograini said to me, if I could, it would be better to catch up with Darien, and then ...... Go and tell him that he loves him and will always love him, that the words he said during the battle were not his intention, and that he was still proud of him.

And for Renault, he wanted to tell him...... He has forgiven him and wants to say sorry to him.

The words that this strong man finally asked me to relay to Renault were full of reluctance and guilt for this son, but more of them were helplessness and remorse, as well as a glimmer of hope.

I left the city in the sky, but when I got back to the surface, there were traces there, probably by Darien. But I'm back on the ground now, and my body hasn't recovered. I tore off my torn cloak and wrapped my stomach around it, so that if my intestines were leaking, at least they wouldn't run to the ground. I don't have the tools and I can't stitch it right now, I just hope that the guts don't rot and mold before I find the tools.

By the time we found our gathering point, it had already been attacked by the undead scourge, and there were griffon feathers and corpses on the ground, but our horses were still alive not far away.

As I rode the horse, I felt the parts in my stomach bulge, and a cracking sensation let me know that I might be coming out. It is impossible to return to the Chapel of the Wish of Light, I only have one place to go now, and I am sure that he can help me as well.

Mograini told me where Tirio Fording lived, that he was still alive, and that all he had to do was to go west, to the Sodoril River, and along the river you would surely see a mountain higher than any of the surrounding mountains, and that there was a waterfall on the side of which you would find a hut, and where he lived in seclusion.

A mountain higher than any mountain......

I clutched my wound, black and red blood oozing out of it. I should be able to recover a little now by swallowing a living person.

Mograini was not very surprised by who I was, but he understood me and was envious and glad that I was still able to keep my soul. He wanted to take another look at Renault and say goodbye to him personally, but it could only be a permanent regret.
