Maureen didn't notice the figure that flashed by in the other painting, and his heart fluttered as the black cloth was lifted on the easel.

The figure in the portrait is the Mother of Nightmares!

On the surface, he was still quiet, but in his heart, Morin set off a monstrous wave, and unexpectedly, he saw the Mother of Nightmares again.

Merlin had some encounters with the Mother of Nightmares, when he swallowed a head of Aked Emmonses in the subcontinent of Parsis, he met the Mother of Nightmares in a half-dream, he originally planned to go to the wizarding world, but, because of the Mother of Nightmares, he came to the world of purgatory.

The Mother of Nightmares wants him to return to the world of purgatory and fulfill the promise he made with her, but Merlin knows nothing about these things.

"Her name is Elesia, and of course, more people call her the Mother of Nightmares. Anne smiled and was a little stunned as she looked at the scenery that appeared in countless mottled colors and the strange scenes that appeared in it, and the floating Mother of Nightmares.

"Why?"

Merlin asked, his question simple, but Claire understood what he meant.

"Morin, you know what. Anne turned around and said, "The two people on these two easels, they are both my sisters, they ...... It's all my sister. ”

"I want to ask you to help me kill Elesia, because she is the only one alive, and the other one, my sister, is dead. ”

Anne said, with a strange expression on her face.

Merlin was noncommittal to Anne's words, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Although I don't know why you want to kill the Mother of Nightmares, which is what you call Elesia, but I'm sorry, I don't plan to get involved." ”

"Morin, as the last and only ancient wizard, there are some things you have to face. Anne shook her head.

Merlin was silent, he thought of when he first came to the world of purgatory, he had accidentally seen some images and did not speak.

"Merlin, you should know the curse of the ancient wizards, then, do you know why the ancient wizards have such a curse?"

Anne thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Let's make a deal, I will tell you the secrets of the ancient wizards, I just want to exchange you for a promise." ”

"Yes, yes, you say. ”

Mo Lin's eyes narrowed, and he didn't hesitate much, after all, he was an ancient wizard, and he couldn't care about other things, but for the curse of the ancient wizard, Mo Lin couldn't refuse at all.

You must know that even if they are as powerful as the fifth-level spirit ring great wizard Soth, even the ancient wizards who were once extremely powerful and extremely talented have stopped in front of the curse of the ancient wizards and have not broken the curse.

Merlin is an ancient wizard, and he also has to face the curse, as long as he can know the news related to the curse, Morin will not miss it.

"Morin, your ancient wizards are extremely powerful, and they are known as invincible at the same level, but after the fourth-level true intent, it will become more and more difficult to be promoted, and even completely lose the opportunity to be promoted to the seventh-level legend, which is your curse, and it is also the reason why many ancient wizards can't figure it out. ”

Anne said, as if she had thought of something, a flash of memory flashed in her eyes, and the whole person couldn't help but sigh softly, and said: " In order to break down the understanding of why, the ancient wizards did a lot of experiments and made a lot of conjectures, some of the ancient wizards believed that the fusion of different bloodlines and alien energies caused the pressure on the body, causing the body to collapse, while others believed that a long time ago, some unspeakable powerful beings cursed the ancient wizards, and they were almost killed by the ancient wizards, so they developed hatred for the ancient wizard lineage, so they came to curse the ancient wizards. ”

"But it's neither. ”

Anne shook her head slightly, she looked at Merlin, and said softly: "The so-called curse of the ancient wizards is actually their own root and dependence. ”

"Minai Totem. ”

Minai Totem?

Mo Lin's eyes couldn't help but stare at him, he was really shocked.

"Morin, what do you think the Minai Totem is?, why can you ancient wizards use the Minai Totem to wantonly absorb the essence blood of powerful bloodline creatures and those powerful xenomorph energies, and become invincible beings of the same level, or even fight beyond the ranks?" Anne seemed to see Merin's doubts, she smiled and asked rhetorically.

Merlin didn't speak, at this time, he didn't know what to say, his heart shook violently, and his heart was very uneasy.

"Minai Totem......" Merlin muttered to himself.

"It's very simple, because the Minai totem is not a strange pattern or a secret line at all. Anne said quietly, her eyes bright, and she said, "Minai totem is the law. ”

"The law, this is a power that only seventh-level legends are qualified to touch, but the ancient wizards relied on the law to form the Minai totem, making themselves far beyond the same level. ”

"Ancient wizards, in the initial stage of wizards, they used the laws perceived by the ancestors of wizards, and used those laws in their own spiritual sea to carve into Minai totems, so that they have far more combat power than their peers, but they will always be limited by the laws!"

"When the ancient wizards were still wizard apprentices, the laws were deeply engraved in their spiritual sea, and as their strength increased and the wizard level increased, the laws that formed the Minai totem became deeper and deeper, until finally, it was firmly engraved into the spiritual sea, becoming their Minai totem and becoming their foundation. ”

"The law has always been there, and, because of the increase in strength, the ancient wizards have the ability to perceive the law, but there is another very different law in their foundation, which makes them unable to perceive the law that suits them at all, so even if the ancient wizards are amazing, they can't break the curse and become a seventh-level legend. ”

"They will never be able to break through the laws of their spiritual sea!"

"This is the real reason for the curse of the ancient wizards. ”

Anne's voice sighed, wafting slowly through the air around her.

Morin's heart was shocked, and he couldn't calm down at all.

Law.

It turns out that this is the essence of the curse of the ancient wizards.

Their reliance and foundation are Minai totems, but they didn't expect that when the ancient wizards reached a certain height, the former reliance would become an obstacle for them, or even a curse.

Before the fourth-level true intent wizards, it was normal for the ancient wizards to improve their strength, and even a little fast, but after reaching the fourth-level true intent, it became extremely difficult for the ancient wizards to improve, and this was because the laws began to gradually suppress the ancient wizards.

Of course, the strength of the ancient wizards is still the strongest, and even after the fourth-level true intent, the talented ancient wizards can even break the barrier between the barriers of strength and fight beyond the ranks, but the curse of the ancient wizards is still a boulder, weighing heavily on the hearts of all the ancient wizards.

"Law Lines...... Minai Totem ...... The mighty ...... of the ancient wizard," Merlin thought to himself, and exhaled softly.

That's right, that's right, ancient wizards can't be strong for no reason, they are strong for a reason, and at the same time, they have to pay an extremely heavy price.

"Actually, when these things are said, it's not very important. Anne said, she was comforting Morin, and said, "Not every wizard has the opportunity to touch the seventh-level legend, most wizards are weak, and they can't even touch the threshold of the fourth-level true meaning, they just spend their lives mediocre." ”

"No matter what time it is, the ancient wizard is still a good choice, after all, he can improve his combat power, and there is a great possibility of being invincible at the same level, so wizards always yearn for ancient wizards. ”

"The wizard who embarked on the path of the ancient wizard was really a genius, and he actually engraved the Minai totem in the spiritual sea through a rough and vague rune secret line, so that even the wizard apprentices could do this, which is really amazing. ”

"Okay, I got it. The expression on Morin's face was faint, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"By the way, Annie, has there ever been an ancient wizard who broke the curse and successfully broken through the seventh-level legend?"

Morin thought of something and suddenly asked.

Anne was slightly stunned, she shook her head, and said, "I'm sorry Morin, I don't know. ”

Don't know?

Maureen nodded, not saying anything more.

It was a great reward to know the truth about the curse of the ancient wizards, and after a brief chat between Merlin and Anne, they returned to their rooms.

In a rare way, he did not meditate, but looked out the window at the deep night and fell into deep thought.

The next day, Maureen got into the carriage of the werewolf guards and headed to Asmunlay's library district.

Where the drunken middle-aged man was still there, Merlin walked forward and came to some place where the secret story was recorded.

His face was indifferent, his expression was calm, and he pulled out a book from the bookshelf and began to look through it.

Asmunlay is also a royal family in the purgatory world, and the knowledge in the library is very rich, and Merlin wants to look through some secrets to see if he can find some records about the law runes.
