But Morin did not have the slightest contempt. His expression was indifferent, but his heart was very solemn. The reason was very simple. This middle-aged man looked ordinary, but the aura on his body was faintly uncertain, and was not much worse than that of other elders in the Elder Council.
"That's right. How could the person who can make Haslaine and the others feel at ease and guard the entire Asmonlai library area here be an ordinary person?"
Mo Lin's mind raced, and he understood what was going on.
He stretched out his hand, opened the book, and left a trace of his energy on the book.
The lime-colored book flickered slightly and soon returned to its calm state.
"Okay." Morin raised his eyes and said lightly.
"Well... OK, go in... Young man, go in..." The middle-aged man moved his body and spoke vaguely, "By the way, young man... You are Morin, right... Pureblood... Our Asmonlai pureblood... Haha... Pureblood..."
The middle-aged man's voice gradually became lower and lower, until it seemed to disappear completely and could no longer be heard.
Maureen smiled, turned and walked deeper into the book collection area.
The library area was arranged in a circular shape like a high tower. There were many large bookshelves on each floor, on which were placed thick books. Although these books did not seem to have any protection, only Asmonlai could touch them. Once other people touched those books, they would burst out with powerful attack spells engraved in them, and then the books would disappear on their own.
Morin was not worried about this. He had devoured Is's essence. To a certain extent, there was no problem at all for him to pretend to be a pure-blooded Asmonlei.
With a click, Morin walked forward, picked up a book and began to read it slowly. The words on the book were very strange. They were the unique words of the Asmonlei clan.
"Chip, start recording and generate analysis tasks!" Morin slowly opened the book, his mind moved slightly, and gave an instruction to the chip.
"Ding! The mission has been established!"
"Mission in progress!"
"Scanning data!"
"Analyzing the data!"
Morin listened to the sound of the chip ringing in his mind and nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
For the next period of time, Morin stayed in the library area, flipping through the books. He read very quickly, but the contents of the books had been recorded by him using chips. After analysis, the chip would transfer the knowledge to the memory area so that he would remember it forever without forgetting it at all.
Morin had just arrived, and he was a pureblood, so his every move attracted unusual attention. Many Asmonlai knew that he spent most of his time in the library area. In the past few days, Morin had been traveling back and forth between the castle and the library area.
"Molin is not only a pureblood, but also extremely eager for advanced knowledge. Haha, this is really a good thing." The great elder Haslaine was a little surprised when he heard the reports from others, but then he said, "Yes, Morin is not bad."
Monsiig agreed very much, while Battoya next to him snorted with an unpleasant expression.
What other people think and what they think are none of Morin's business. He has been staying in the library area, constantly using chips to scan and record all kinds of precious knowledge. The purgatory knowledge stored by Asmonlai is something Morin has never had before. When absorbing this knowledge, Morin can draw inferences from one instance to another and has many different insights.
In the evening, Morin returned to the manor.
He had just returned when Dris came running over in a panic with a large number of infernal creatures.
"What's going on?" Morin raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Master, this is bad. We...we caught...no, we found someone. She is very strange. She..."
Driss wanted to say something, but after talking for a long time, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Morin looked at Driss's slightly frightened face and frowned slightly.
"Okay, you don't have to say anything, just take me there." Morin waved his hand.
"Okay...Okay, Master."
Dris breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.
Maureen followed Driss toward the castle's dungeons.
The lights in the dungeon were dim, and the candlelight kept flickering nearby, making everything around it dim and bright.
Several skinny dog-headed men wearing cheap leather armor hid aside and shivered like dogs, their eyes filled with undisguised fear as they looked towards the prison in front of them.
"Master, a woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the prison. We want to capture her and bring her to you first, but we can't get close to her at all. As long as we get within a certain range in front of her, our bodies will shatter and we will die in the blink of an eye." Dris said from the side, with undisguised fear in his voice.
There was a lot of blood and flesh on the floor of the prison ahead, but the most eye-catching thing was the young girl in the prison.
She was wearing a white long dress, but it had many stains on it, making it look old and dirty. The girl hugged her knees, leaned against the haystack in the corner, shivering, looking panic-stricken and very scared.
Morin's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he slowly walked forward and walked towards the girl in front of him.
"Master!" Driss was anxious and spoke subconsciously.
"I know."
Morin raised his hand, but did not stop at all, and continued walking towards the girl.
When he was seven steps away from the girl, Morin suddenly felt an invisible force field emanating from the girl. If he moved forward again, the invisible force field would be activated instantly, causing a powerful attack on him.
"Invisible force field. Ordinary creatures in Purgatory would have no way to deal with it, but I can. After all, I am a wizard." Morin thought to himself, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Then Morin's brows bulged, and an invisible mental force was released, forming a mental force field. Soon, one could feel that the surface around Morin was distorted, making people feel confused at the sight of it. This was because of Morin's mental force field.
But what surprised Morin was that although he released a mental force field, which could barely offset part of the power of the strange force field, it was very strenuous, making it more and more difficult for him to move forward. If Morin was not an ancient wizard, whose mental force field was extremely powerful and very different from that of other ordinary wizards, he would not be able to move forward at all.
"I feel a familiar breath on you. Who... who are you?" The girl's clear voice suddenly came.
Maureen stopped one step away from the girl and said, "I'm Maureen, Maureen Olsen."
"Who are you?"
Maureen looked at the girl quietly.
"I... I don't know, name... my name..." The girl's whole body suddenly trembled. She curled up into a ball as if she had encountered something terrible. She said, "Oh, my name, my name is Annie, Annie..."
Annie?
Maureen frowned. He could clearly feel that something was wrong with the girl named Annie in front of him.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly appear in my castle?" Morin asked in a deep voice.
"I...I don't know either."
Anne's voice was trembling, as if she was very scared.
Morin appeared calm on the surface, but many thoughts were already flashing through his mind. He said, "Since you can't give me an answer, then I can't let you stay in my castle."
"Leave on your own."
Morin spoke calmly, but there was a hint of chill in his voice.
"Don't chase me away... I... please... please... don't chase me away." Annie looked panicked.
Finally, her arms loosened and she slowly raised her head.
What Maureen saw was Anne's delicate, beautiful and slightly confused face. Her eyes were bright and clear, as if they could reflect everything in the world.
Under the firelight, Morin's figure emerged clearly in her pupils.
