Morin did not notice the figure that flashed by in another painting. When the black cloth on the easel was lifted, he was shocked.

The Mother of Nightmares! The figure in the portrait turned out to be the Mother of Nightmares!

On the surface he remained calm, but in his heart, Morin was in turmoil. Unexpectedly, he saw the mother of nightmares again.

Morin had some interactions with the Mother of Nightmares. After he swallowed an Akedemonses in the Parsis subcontinent, he saw the Mother of Nightmares in a half-asleep state. His original plan was to go to the wizarding world, but because of the Mother of Nightmares, he came to the world of Purgatory.

The Mother of Nightmares wanted him to return to the Purgatory World to fulfill the promise he made to her, but Morin knew nothing about these things.

"Her name is Alessia. Of course, more people call her the Mother of Nightmares." Anne looked at the bizarre scenes presented in countless mottled colors, and the floating Mother of Nightmares among them, smiling and a little dazed.

"Why?"

Morin asked. His question was simple, but Claire understood what he meant.

"Maureen, you know what?" Anne turned around and said, "The two people on the easels are both my sisters. They... are both my sisters."

"I want you to help me kill Alessia, because she is the only one alive. The other person, my sister, is already dead."

Anne said, with a strange expression on her face.

Morin did not comment on Annie's words. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Although I don't know why you want to kill the Nightmare Mother, or Alessia as you call her, I'm sorry, I don't intend to get involved."

"Maureen, as the last ancient wizard, there are some things you have to face." Annie shook her head.

Morin was silent. He thought about some scenes he had accidentally seen when he first came to the Purgatory World, and he didn't say anything.

"Molin, you should know the curse of the ancient wizards. So, do you know why the ancient wizards had such a curse?"

Annie thought about it and suddenly said, "Let's make a deal. I'll tell you the secrets of the ancient wizards in exchange for a promise from you."

"Okay, sure, go ahead."

Morin narrowed his eyes without much hesitation. After all, he was an ancient wizard. He might not care about other things, but he could not refuse the ancient wizard's curse.

You know, even as powerful as the fifth-level spirit ring wizard Soth, even the ancient wizards who were once extremely powerful and extremely talented, all stopped before the ancient wizard's curse and failed to break the curse.

Morin 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.

"Molin, you ancient wizards are extremely powerful, and you are invincible at the same level. However, after reaching the fourth level of true meaning, it will become increasingly difficult to advance, and you may even completely lose the chance to advance to the seventh level of legend. This is your curse, and it is also the reason that many ancient wizards cannot understand."

As Annie spoke, she seemed to have thought of something. A flash of reminiscence flashed across her eyes. She couldn't help but sigh softly, saying, "In order to break the curse and understand why this happened, the ancient wizards did a lot of experiments and made a lot of guesses. Some ancient wizards believed that the pressure of fusing different bloodlines and different energies on the body caused the body to collapse, while others believed that a long time ago, some indescribable powerful beings cursed the ancient wizards. They were almost killed by the ancient wizards, so they developed hatred for the ancient wizards' heritage and cursed the ancient wizards through some weird means."

“But it’s neither.”

Anne shook her head slightly. She looked at Maureen and said softly, "The so-called curse of the ancient wizards is actually their own roots and reliance."

"Minai Totem."

Mina Totem?

Mo Lin's eyes couldn't help but focus, he was really shocked.

"Maureen, what do you think the Minae Totem is? Why can you ancient wizards use the Minae Totem to absorb the essence of powerful bloodline creatures and those powerful alien energies, becoming invincible in the same level and even fighting against higher levels?" Annie seemed to see Maureen's confusion, she smiled and asked back.

Mo Lin didn't say anything. At this moment, he didn't know what to say. His heart was shaking violently and he felt very uneasy.

"Minai Totem..." Morin muttered to himself.

"It's very simple, because the Minae Totem is not some strange marks or dense lines at all." Annie said quietly, her eyes bright, and said: "The Minae Totem is a law."

"Laws. This is a power that only seventh-level legends are qualified to touch. However, the ancient wizards relied on the laws to form the Minae Totem, making themselves far superior to their peers."

"Ancient wizards, when they were just apprentices, used the laws that their predecessors had realized in a very vague and crude way, and used those laws to carve Minae totems in their spiritual seas. As a result, they possessed combat power far exceeding that of their peers, but they would always be restricted by the laws!"

"When the ancient wizards were still wizard apprentices, the laws were already deeply engraved in their spiritual sea. As their strength increased and their wizard levels increased, the laws that formed the Minae Totem became deeper and deeper, until finally, they were firmly engraved in the spiritual sea and became their Minae Totem and their foundation."

"The laws have always existed, and as their strength increases, the ancient wizards are more capable of perceiving the laws. However, in their foundations there exists another completely different law, which makes it impossible for them to perceive the laws that suit them. Therefore, even if the ancient wizards are extremely talented, they cannot break the curse and become level seven legends."

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

"This is the true reason for the ancient wizard's curse."

Anne's voice was full of sighs, floating slowly in the air around them.

Morin's mind was shaken, he couldn't calm down at all.

law.

It turns out that this is the essence of the ancient wizard's curse.

Their reliance and foundation was the Minae Totem, but they did not expect that when the ancient wizards reached a certain height, the reliance they once had actually became an obstacle or even a curse.

Before reaching the fourth level of True Meaning wizards, the ancient wizards' strength improved normally, and even quite quickly. However, after reaching the fourth level of True Meaning, it became extremely difficult for the ancient wizards to improve. This was because the laws began to gradually suppress the ancient wizards.

Of course, the strength of the ancient wizards is still the strongest. Even after the fourth level of true meaning, the talented ancient wizards can even break through the barriers between strength and fight across levels, but the curse of the ancient wizards is still a huge rock, weighing heavily on the hearts of all ancient wizards.

"The Law Symbol... the Minay Totem... the power of the ancient wizards..." Morin thought to himself and let out a breath.

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

"In fact, these things are not very important after they are spoken out." Annie said, she was comforting Maureen, "Not every wizard has the opportunity to touch the seventh-level legend. Most wizards are weak and can't even touch the threshold of the fourth-level true meaning. They just spend their lives in mediocrity."

"No matter what time it is, the ancient wizard is still a good choice. After all, it can improve one's combat power and there is a great possibility of becoming invincible at the same level. Therefore, wizards always yearn for ancient wizards."

"The wizard who embarked on the path of the ancient wizard was truly a genius. He actually used the rough and blurred rune secret lines to engrave the Minae Totem in the spiritual sea, allowing wizard apprentices to do this. It's really amazing."

"Okay, I understand." Morin's expression was indifferent, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"By the way, Annie, has any ancient wizard ever broken the curse and successfully reached the seventh level of legend?"

Morin thought of something and suddenly asked.

Anne was slightly stunned. She shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, Maureen, I don't know."

Don’t you know?

Maureen nodded and said nothing more.

Being able to know the truth about the ancient wizard's curse was already a great gain. After Maureen and Annie had a brief chat, they returned to their rooms.

It was a rare moment for him not to meditate, but instead to look out the window at the dark night, lost in thought.

The next day, Morin got on the werewolf guard's carriage and headed to Asmonlai's library.

The drunken middle-aged man was still there. Maureen walked forward and came to some places where secrets were recorded.

His face was calm and his expression was peaceful. He pulled out a book from the bookshelf and began to read it.

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