Main Text Volume Chapter 462 The Cruel Truth

Angel approached a wizard and carefully read the contract text on the leather scroll.

After reading this, Angel broke into a cold sweat on his back.

The words on 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 intermediate level. I didn't expect that this help would be such a cruel word.

——Blood sacrifice!

Just like when Sanders was building the Gravity Garden, he drove a bunch of phantom 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.

After absorbing the flesh and blood of extraordinary beings with different attributes, and reaching a certain amount, the Purification Garden will undergo a qualitative change, 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 above 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 do not choose to participate in this "grand event" to purify the garden, 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 in the center, and then looked at the expressions of other wizards around him. Almost no one thought this was inappropriate. Although they were communicating with each other, 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 for a while.

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 is too harmful 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 On Kanter and Rosen.

Kanter, Rosen, and Sanders are the three strongest players on 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 resources of small wizard organizations are concentrated , Elites emerge in large numbers." At this point, Rosen looked around at everyone present: "The people we are removing from the Purification Garden this time are those apprentices who are not worthy of their name, but those who are true elite apprentices can gain great benefits, even... …It’s possible to reach the sky in one step.”

"So, I would like to ask Lord Ruye now. When you ask me this, do you mean you have no confidence in your juniors? I heard that the teaching quality of Lilith House is better than that of many large organizations." Rosen's eyes finally 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 die 90% of the time 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. With the support of most wizards. Most of the seats at this meeting were actually from small wizarding organizations, and many of them were not even considered small organizations and could 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 at this point, they are not really arguing, but want to use Kanter to put pressure on Rosen in exchange for greater benefits.

Rosen coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention again, and then said: "I have said just now that what is eliminated is only the dregs, and what is left is the real essence. For those who can survive the blood sacrifice, the real elites, we will not hesitate to reward them."

"Then what is this reward?" Kant asked.

"When the low-level garden leaps into the middle-level garden, the law of purification will expose the core code to the greatest extent. Don't you believe that the elites you value will gain huge benefits from this? If you can comprehend the veins of purification, it will be a real step to heaven. Even if you are a little unlucky and can't comprehend it, immersing yourself in the rich power of purification is enough to increase the chance of advancing to a formal wizard."

Rosen pointed out the substantial benefits this time. If you can really comprehend the purification veins, it will be a power that even a group of them are rushing to get, and it is no exaggeration to say "step to heaven".

Of course, they also know that it is not easy to comprehend the purification veins, and the probability is as low as one in ten thousand. But as Rosen said, even if the purification veins are not comprehended, the power of purification is enough to increase the chance of advancing to the formal level, which is not a loss.

Everyone fell into thinking.

"I believe that everyone here does not want their offspring to be in the cradle and protected in the ivory tower, right? Killing and cruelty are the main themes of wizards, aren't they?"

Rosen continued to incite with words. But the people present were not vegetarians, and naturally heard that Rosen's words actually had a big loophole. Even Angel understood that Rosen was playing word games. Killing and cruelty are indeed the main themes of wizards. But this time it was "forced killing" to encircle the territory. It can be said that the apprentices are just manipulated and abandoned pawns. What main theme can there be?

"Moreover, for your beloved apprentices, you can directly tell the apprentices the tricks here. Let them make their own choices. As for other apprentices who are not worthy of the name, I hope you can keep it secret." Rosen continued to increase the stakes.

Perhaps the pie that Rosen drew was too tempting, or perhaps Kant had full confidence in Qili, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and stopped arguing with Rosen. Obviously, he had tacitly agreed with what Rosen said.

"How about it? If you have no objections, why not sign this contract?" Rosen urged.

The contract will of course be passed in the end. This is the choice made by everyone present when they saw the contract. But Kant only talked about the interests of the apprentices, and did not talk about the interests of the wizards present, so naturally no one chose to sign.

Everyone looked at Sanders. As the strongest person present and representing the non-"Sky Mechanical City" party, what would Sanders think?

Even Rosen looked at Sanders. He knew that whether he could gain greater benefits depended on what Sanders said.

Sanders closed his eyes and dozed for a long time. He did not speak in the previous conversation until this time, and slowly said: "I have no objection."

When Sanders said this, Rosen breathed a sigh of relief.

Angel was not surprised by Sanders' choice. For irrelevant people, Sanders would not care about their life or death at all.

"However, the scale of wizard organizations is different, and there are even wizard families present. According to the contract, each wizard organization is allocated two fixed quotas, which is not fair to large wizard organizations." Sanders said lightly.

The power of law absorbed by wizards is of course very different from the power of law absorbed by wizard apprentices. There are thousands or even tens of thousands of wizard apprentices who can share this power of law, but for formal wizards, perhaps one person can be equivalent to hundreds of apprentices, so they issue so few quotas.

But as Sanders said, it is not fair for large organizations to give two quotas, and small organizations and even wizard families to give two quotas.

Regarding this point raised by Sanders, Rosen said very straightforwardly: "This can be discussed."

So, for the next day and night, the meeting was discussing this matter.

Sanders directly accelerated and skipped this scene, 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 must give 10 or more places each time, and medium-sized organizations give 4 or more places. 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.

He still had a knife and fork in his hand, but it was trembling slightly. On the plate in front of him was a piece of shaman milk cake, which was cut in half and exuded a rich milk aroma.

"Do you understand now?" Sanders had no sweets in front of him, only a cup of black tea with curling white mist.

"Can't it be replaced by other species?" Angel asked Sanders.

"Is there a difference?" Sanders put his thin lips close to the exquisite porcelain cup, breathed in the white air in his nose, and gently drank a sip of tea.

Angel lowered his head. There was indeed no difference. Humans are life, and other species are also life.

Sanders had thought that Angell might be upset about this, but surprisingly, Angell figured it out quickly.

The wizarding world is not as rosy and sunny as ordinary people imagine. This is the reality. Angell's ability to accept this reality so quickly means that he is actually slowly integrating into this world.
