Angel approached a wizard and carefully read the contract words on the leather scroll.
After reading this, Angel broke into a cold sweat on his back.
The words in the contract were too sensational to him. One word could cover the core content of the entire contract.
Rosen mentioned before that only a little "help" is needed to advance the Purification Garden to the first level. I didn't expect that this help would be such a cruel word.
——Blood sacrifice!
For example, when Sanders was building the Gravity Garden, he drove a bunch of fantasy beasts from the Phantom Island into the circle. When the Purification Garden was formed, their flesh and blood formed part of the Witchcraft Garden.
This time the purification of the garden was done the same way.
Absorbing the flesh and blood of extraordinary beings with different attributes, when reaching a certain amount, will cause a qualitative change in the Purification Garden, thereby pushing it to a higher stage.
Moreover, this number is not a small number. The contract did not specify how many people would be sacrificed in blood, but only an estimate: 90%!
This blood sacrifice is a true portrayal of a "narrow escape from death"!
When Angel was in the Cloud Whale, the "nine-cabin bloody battle" advocated by Sanders was actually a narrow escape. But the scale of that narrow escape was not as big as this one!
You know, the quota conditions for Sky Mechanical City to open to the Purification Garden this time are: Climb to the top of the Sky Tower!
There are countless sky towers set up in various places in Sky Mechanical City, and they have been set up for more than thousands of years. In these thousands of years, leaving aside the dead, how huge the number of people who can achieve this condition will be? !
Even if for various reasons, those who have exceeded the third level apprenticeship, or are too old, ultimately did not choose to participate in this "grand event" to purify the garden, but Angel believes that even so, there are still many people who are willing to come. , definitely no less than five digits!
Rosen's light "help" actually cut off tens of thousands of extraordinary beings by 90%. This was undoubtedly a naked massacre.
He suddenly looked up at Rosen, who was facing Yang, and then looked at the expressions of other wizards around him. Almost no one thought this was inappropriate. Although they were communicating individually, Angel could tell from their expressions that what they were discussing was definitely how to maximize profits, not the lives of the apprentices.
There was an unprecedented silence in the conference room.
After a long, long time, finally, someone spoke up, and this person was none other than... Kanter of the Night.
Angel thought of the House of Lilith, the wizarding organization that Kanter belongs to, which has always been sparsely populated. If 90% of the apprentices were massacred without deviation this time, how would a small wizarding organization with a sparse population deal with itself?
And if Angel remembers correctly, Kanter brought only one apprentice this time: Qili.
According to Kanter's care for Qili, it is normal for him to argue at this time.
"The apprentice who is 90% dead will do too much harm to small wizard organizations like us. I think this contract is inappropriate." As soon as Kanter spoke, all the wizards in the room, including those who spoke privately, fell silent and focused their attention on Kante and Rosen.
Kanter, Rosen, and Sanders are the three strongest players in the field. They have all entered the path of true knowledge and have reached the level of level two wizards. Rosen was on the side of Sky Mechanical City and took the lead in this matter; while Kanter and Sanders were on the side of the crowd. Naturally, no one dared to ignore Kanter's words, and he was definitely speaking for the benefit of everyone. .
"Your Excellency Ruye, I understand what you mean. But what I want to say is that there is a difference between large and small organizations, which is irrefutable. However, the scattered resources of large organizations will lead to many apprentices who are not worthy of the name; the resource collection of small wizard organizations , elites emerge in large numbers." When Rosen said this, he looked around at everyone present: "The people we eliminated from the Purification Garden this time are those apprentices who are not worthy of their name, but those who are truly elite apprentices can gain great benefits, even... …It’s possible to reach the sky in one step.”
"So, now I want to ask Lord Ruye for advice. When you ask me this, do you mean you have no confidence in your juniors? I have heard that the teaching quality of Lilith House is very good, but many large organizations are even better." Luo Finally, Sen's eyes fell on Kanter again, first questioning, and finally giving a gentle compliment.
Kanter stroked his white beard and said calmly: "I naturally have confidence in the juniors, but there are not many juniors in our small organization, and everyone is an important indicator. So I must ask clearly whether the pros and cons are worth it. Let’s go on an adventure.”
"Your Excellency Ruye is right. Apprentices who are 90% dead will definitely do more harm than good to the younger generation. How big of a 'benefit' can we be willing to let our younger generation take risks?" After Kanter finished speaking, he also came to the scene. Support from most wizards. Most of the seats in this meeting are actually from small wizarding organizations, and many of them are not even small organizations and can only be called wizarding families.
At this moment, everyone began to discuss the matter.
Angel saw it very clearly. If Kanter hadn't brought it up, maybe this group of people didn't care about the death of their descendants at all. What they cared about was how much their own interests could be. Even now, they are not really arguing, but want to use Kanter to put pressure on Rosen in exchange for greater benefits.
Rosen "coughed" twice, drawing the attention of everyone present to himself again, and then said: "I have just said that what is removed is only the dross, and what is left is the real essence. For these things that can be used in blood sacrifices Those who survive, the real elites, we will not hesitate to reward."
"Then what is this reward?" Kanter asked.
"When the low-level garden leaps to the advanced garden, the law of purification will expose the core password to the greatest extent. Don't you all believe that the elites you value will gain huge gains from this? If you can understand the context of purification, then Really reach the sky in one step. Even if you are a bit unlucky, you may not be able to comprehend it, but being immersed in the rich purifying power is enough to increase the chance of becoming a formal wizard."
Rosen pointed out the real benefits this time. If one could truly comprehend the purification of the veins, it would be a power that even people like them would flock to. It would not be an exaggeration to say that one can reach the sky in one step.
Of course, they also know very well that it is not easy to understand the purification of the veins, and the chance is as low as one in ten thousand. But as Rosen said, even if you don't understand the purification context, the power of purification is enough to increase the chance of formal advancement, which is not a loss.
Everyone fell into thinking.
"I believe that everyone here does not want their descendants to remain in their infancy and be protected in an ivory tower, right? Killing and cruelty are the main themes of wizards, aren't they?"
Rosen continued to incite with words. But everyone present was not a vegetarian, so it was natural to hear that there was a big loophole in Rosen's words. Even Angel understood that Rosen was playing a word game. Killing and cruelty are indeed the main themes of the wizard. But this time it was "forced to kill" in an enclosure. It can be said that the apprentices are just chess pieces that have been manipulated and abandoned. How can there be any main theme?
"Moreover, for your beloved apprentices, you can directly tell them what's going on here. Let them make their own choices. As for other apprentices who are not worthy of their name, I hope you can keep it a secret." Rosen continued to increase the pressure.
Perhaps the pie drawn by Rosen was too tempting, or Kanter had full confidence in Qili, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and no longer argued with Rosen. Obviously, he has acquiesced to what Rosen said.
"How about it? If you have no objections, why not sign this contract?" Rosen urged.
Of course, the contract will eventually pass. This is the choice that everyone present has already made when they saw the contract. But Kanter only talked about the interests of the apprentices, not the interests of the wizards present, so naturally no one chose to sign.
Everyone turned their attention to Sanders. As the strongest person present and representing the non-"Sky Mechanical City" side, what would be Sanders' opinion?
Even Rosen looked at Sanders. He knew whether he could capture greater interests depended on Sanders.
Sanders closed his eyes and fell asleep for a long time. He didn't make a sound in the previous conversation. Only then did he slowly say: "I have no objection."
Rosen breathed a sigh of relief when Sanders said those words.
Angel was not surprised by Sanders' choice. For those who had nothing to do with him, Sanders would not care about their life or death at all.
"However, the sizes of wizard organizations are different, and there are even wizard families present. According to the contract, each wizard organization is allocated two fixed quotas, which is unfair to large wizard organizations." Sanders said lightly.
The power of law absorbed by a wizard is of course very different from the power of law absorbed by a wizard apprentice. Thousands or even ten thousand wizard apprentices can share the power of this law, but for formal wizards, one person may be worth hundreds of apprentices, which is why the number of places they issue is so small.
But as Sanders said, it is not fair that large organizations give two places, small organizations and even wizard families also give two places.
Regarding this point raised by Sanders, Rosen said readily: "This can be discussed."
So, the next day and night, the meeting room was discussing this matter.
In this scene, Sanders accelerated directly and skipped it, allowing Angel to see the final conclusion. Because the strength of each wizard organization is different, Rosen's final conclusion is not fixed. Every time the Purification Garden is opened, large wizard organizations will definitely give 10 or more places each time, and small organizations will give 4 or more places. Regarding the quota, as for the remaining small organizations and wizard families, Rosen said that he would make a decision after discussing with them in detail.
After the illusion ended, Angel returned to the dining table.
His hand still held the knife and fork, but it was shaking slightly. On the plate in front of you was a piece of Shaman Milk Cake, cut into half, exuding a rich milk aroma.
"Do you understand now?" Sanders didn't have any sweets in front of him, only a cup of black tea exuding white air.
"Can't we use another species instead?" Angel asked Sanders.
"Is there any difference?" Sanders put his thin lips close to the delicate porcelain cup, breathed in the white air through his nose, and took a sip of tea.
Angel lowered his head. There was indeed no difference. Humans were life, and so were other species.
Sanders thought early on that Angel might be resentful of this based on his personality, but to his surprise, Angel quickly figured it out.
The wizarding world is not the glory that ordinary people imagine, it is reality. Angel's ability to accept this reality so quickly means that he is actually slowly integrating into this world.
