Angel approached a wizard and carefully looked at the contract text on the scroll.
After reading it, Angel broke out in a cold sweat.
The words on the contract were too sensational for him. One word could cover the core content of the entire contract.
As previously mentioned by Rosen, it only takes a little "assistance" to advance the purification garden to the intermediate level. This assistance was not expected to be such a cruel word.
- Blood sacrifice!
Just like when Sanders built the Gravity Garden, he drove a bunch of Eudemons from the Magic Island into the bounded area. When the purification garden took shape, their flesh and blood became part of the witchcraft garden.
This time, what the Purification Garden did was still the same.
After absorbing the flesh and blood of superhumans with different attributes, after reaching a certain amount, it will cause a qualitative change in the purification garden, so as to push it to a higher stage.
Moreover, this number is not a minority. The contract did not specify how many people would be sacrificed by blood, but only an estimate: 90%!
This blood sacrifice is completely a true portrayal of a living "nine deaths"!
When Angel was above the cloud whale, the "nine-chamber blood fight" advocated by Sanders was actually a life-and-death situation. But the scale of that nine-death experience was not as big as this time!
You must know that the conditions for the opening of the Sky Machine City to the Purification Garden this time are: the Sky Tower climbs to the top!
There are countless sky towers set up in the sky machine city, and they have been set up for more than thousands of years. In this thousand years, what a huge number of people who can achieve this condition aside from the dead? !
Even if for various reasons, those who have exceeded the third-level apprentices, or are too old, did not choose to participate in this "grand event" to purify the garden in the end, but Angel believes that even so, there are still many people willing to come. , definitely no less than five digits!
One of Rosen's light "assistances" was to cut off 90% of the tens of thousands of Transcendents, which was undoubtedly a naked slaughter.
He suddenly raised his head to look at Rosen in the center, and then looked at the expressions of the other wizards around him. Almost no one thought this was inappropriate. Although they are communicating with each other, Angel can see from their expressions that the matter of negotiation is absolutely how to maximize the interests, not the lives of those apprentices.
There was an unprecedented silence in the meeting hall.
After a long, long time, finally, someone spoke up, and this person was... Kant of the Night.
Angel thought of Kanter's wizarding organization, the House of Lilith, which has always been sparsely populated. This time, if 90% of the apprentices were slaughtered without any deviation, as a small wizarding organization with few people, how should it handle itself
And if Angel remembers correctly, Kante brought only one apprentice this time: Qi Li.
According to Kantor's care for Qi Li, it is normal for him to argue at this time.
"The apprentices who die 90% of the time do too much harm to small wizarding organizations like me. I think this contract is inappropriate." As soon as Kanter spoke, all the wizards in the audience, including those who spoke in private, quieted down and turned their attention to on Kante and Rosen.
Kanter, Rosen, and Sanders are the three strongest players on the field. Rosen was on the side of Sky Machine City and dominated this matter; and Kanter and Sanders were equivalent to being on the side of the crowd. Naturally, no one dared to ignore Kanter's words, and he must be speaking for the interests of the crowd. .
"Lord Ru Ye, I understand what you mean. But what I want to say is that there is a difference between large and small, 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. , the elites are coming out in large numbers." Rosen said at this time, looking around the audience: "The people we purify the garden this time are those apprentices who are not worthy of the name, but for those real elite apprentices, they can get a lot of benefits, even... It is also possible to reach the sky in one step.”
"So, I would like to ask Your Excellency Ruye now. Are you asking me that because you have no confidence in your younger generation? I heard that the teaching quality of Lilith's House is better than that of many large organizations." Rosen's last gaze fell on Kante again, first questioning, and finally complimenting lightly.
Kanter stroked the white beard and said lightly, "I naturally have confidence in the juniors, but we have few 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 Ru Ye is right, the apprentices who die 90% of the time must do more harm than good to the younger generation. How big is this 'benefit', so that we can let the younger generation take risks willingly?" The support of 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 time, everyone started to discuss this matter.
Angel saw it very clearly. If Kanter didn't suggest it, maybe this group of people didn't care about the death of their younger generation. What they care about is how much their own interests can be. Even at this point, they are not really fighting for reasons, but want to use Kanter to put pressure on Rosen in exchange for greater benefits.
Rosen "coughed" twice, and drew everyone's attention to himself again, and then said: "I have said just now that only the dross is removed, and the real essence is left. Those who survived, the real elites, we are generous with rewards."
"Then what exactly is this reward?" Kante asked.
"When the low-level garden leaps into the middle-level garden, the law of purification will expose the core password to the greatest extent. Don't everyone here believe that the elites you value will gain huge gains? If you can understand the vein of purification, then A real step to the sky. Even if you are a little bit unlucky and can't comprehend it, immersing yourself in the rich purification power is enough to increase the chances of an advanced formal wizard."
This time, Rosen pointed out the real benefits. If he can really understand the context of purification, it would be a force that even their group of people would flock to. It is no exaggeration to say "one step to the sky".
Of course, they are also very clear that it is not easy to comprehend the context of purification, and the probability is as low as 1 in 10,000. But as Rosen said, even if you don't understand the context of purification, the power of purification is enough to boost the chances of becoming a formal advance, which is not a loss.
The crowd fell into thought.
"I believe that everyone here doesn't want their descendants to be in babies and protected in ivory towers, right? Killing and cruelty are the main themes of wizards, aren't they?"
Rosen continued to incite with words on the side. But none of the people present were vegetarians, so it was natural to hear that Rosen actually had a big loophole in his remarks. Even Angel understood that Rosen was playing with words. Killing and cruelty are indeed the main theme of the wizard. But this time, it was "forced to kill" by enclosing the land as a prison. It can be said that the apprentices are just chess pieces that have been abandoned and abandoned. How can there be any main theme
"And, for your beloved apprentices, you can tell the apprentices what's tricky here. Let them make their own choices. As for other apprentices who don't live up to their names, I hope you can keep it a secret." Rosen continued to overweight.
Maybe it was because the pie that Rosen drew was too tempting, or because Kante was so confident in Qi Li that he took the initiative to withdraw and no longer argued with Rosen. Obviously, he had acquiesced to what Rosen said.
"How's it going? If you have no objection, why don't you sign this contract?" Rosen urged.
Of course, the contract will be passed in the end. This is the choice that everyone present has made when they see 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 Machine City" side, what opinion would Sanders have
Even Rosen looked at Sanders. He knew that whether he could occupy a greater interest would depend on what Sanders said.
Sanders closed his eyes for a long time. He didn't make a sound in the previous conversation. Only then did he slowly say: "I have no opinion."
Rosen breathed a sigh of relief when Sanders said that.
Angel was not surprised by Sanders' choice. For unrelated people, Sanders would not care about their lives or lives.
"However, the size of the wizarding organization is different, and there are even wizarding families present. According to the contract, each wizarding organization is assigned two fixed quotas, which is unfair to large wizarding 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. There are thousands of apprentices, or even tens of thousands, who can share the power of this law, but for a formal wizard, one person may be worth hundreds of apprentices, so the number of places they issue is so small.
But as Sanders said, it's not fair that large organizations give two places, and small organizations and even wizarding families also give two places.
As for Sanders' point, Rosen said happily: "This is negotiable."
So, the next day and night, the meeting was discussing this matter.
In this scene, Sanders accelerated and skipped directly, allowing Angel to see the final conclusion. Because the strength of each wizarding organization is different, Rosen's final conclusion is not fixed. Every time the purification garden is opened, the large wizarding organization must give 10 or more places each time, and the medium-sized organization will give 4 or more. 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 fantasy ended, Angel returned to the dining table.
He still had a knife and fork in his hand, but it was shaking slightly. On the plate in front of him was a shamanic custard cake, which had been cut in half, exuding a rich milky aroma.
"Do you understand now?" Sanders didn't have any sweets in front of him, only a cup of black tea with curling white air.
"Can't it be replaced by another species?" Angel asked Sanders.
"Is there a difference?" Sanders' thin lips were close to the delicate porcelain cup, breathing white air through his nose, and took a sip of tea.
Angel bowed his head. There was indeed no difference. Human beings were life, and other species were also lives.
Sanders thought early on that according to Angel's character, he might be worried about it, but unexpectedly, Angel quickly figured it out.
The wizarding world is not as bright as the mortal imagined, this is the reality. Angel's ability to accept this reality so quickly means that he is actually slowly integrating into this world.
