Section 462 The Cruel Truth
Angel approached a wizard and looked carefully at the text of the contract on the scroll. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he finished reading it, a cold sweat broke out on Angels' back.
The words on the contract are too sensational for him, and one word can cover the core content of the entire contract.
What Rosen mentioned earlier was that it only takes a little "help" to advance the Purification Garden to the middle level, but I didn't expect it to be such a cruel word.
- Blood Sacrifice!
It's like when Sanders was building the Gravity Garden, he drove a bunch of Phantom Island phantom beasts into the enclosure, and when the Purification Garden took shape, their flesh and blood became part of the Witchcraft Garden.
This time the same thing that the Purification Garden did.
Absorbing the flesh and blood of transcendents with different attributes, after reaching a certain amount, will cause the Purification Garden to undergo a qualitative change, so that it can be pushed to a higher stage.
Moreover, this number is not a minority. The contract did not write the specific number of people to be sacrificed, only an estimate: ninety percent!
This blood sacrifice is completely a true portrayal of a living "nine deaths and one life"!
At the beginning, Angel was above the cloud whale, and the "nine-cabin blood fight" advocated by Sanders was actually a life of nine deaths. But the scale of that Nine Deaths was not as big as this one!
You must know that the quota conditions for the Sky Machinery City to open the Purification Garden this time are: Sky Tower climbs to the top floor!
There are countless sky towers set up in the Sky Machinery City in various places, and they have been set up for more than thousands of years, in this thousand years, aside from the dead, what a huge number of people who can meet this condition?!
Even if, for various reasons, those who are already more than a third-level apprentice, or who are too old, do not choose to participate in this "grand event" of purifying the garden, Angel believes that even so, there are still many people who are willing to come, definitely no less than five figures!
Rosen's fluttering "help" was actually to cut off ninety percent of tens of thousands of transcendentals, which was undoubtedly a naked massacre.
He jerked his head up at Lawson in the center, and then at the expressions of the other wizards around him, almost none of them felt that this was too much. Although they were communicating with each other, Ingres could tell from their expressions that the matter of deliberation was definitely how to maximize the benefits, not the lives of the apprentices.
There was an unprecedented silence in the room.
After a long, long time, at last, there was a man who spoke, and this person was ...... Like the night of Kanter.
Ingres thought of Kanter's wizarding organization, Lilith's house, which has always been sparsely populated, and if he slaughtered ninety percent of his apprentices without deviation this time, how would he deal with himself as a small wizarding organization with few people?
And if Ingres is not mistaken, Kanter brought only one apprentice this time: Qili.
According to Kante's care for Qili, it was normal for him to argue at this point.
"Ninety percent of the apprentices who have died have done too much harm to small wizarding organizations like me, and I don't think this contract is appropriate. As soon as Kante spoke, all the wizards in the audience, including those who had been whispering in private, fell silent and focused on Kanter and Rosen.
Kanter, Lawson, and Sanders are the three strongest on the entire field, all of whom have stepped into the path of true knowledge, and all of them have reached the level of second-level wizards. Rosen is on the side of Sky Machinery City and leads the matter, and Kanter and Sanders are on the side of the crowd, Kanter naturally no one dares to ignore what he said, and he must be speaking for the interests of the crowd.
"I know what you mean, Your Excellency. 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, and the resources of small wizarding organizations are concentrated and elites are numerous. At this time, Rosen looked around at the people present: "The people we have eliminated in the purification garden this time are those apprentices who are not worthy of the name, and for those who are truly elite apprentices, they can get great benefits, even ...... It is also possible to climb to the sky in one step. ”
"So, I would like to ask you now, Lord Ruye, do you ask me this because you don't have confidence in your juniors? I have heard that the quality of teaching in Lilith's House is even better than that of many large organizations. Rosen finally looked at N'Golo Kante again, first questioning, and finally a gentle compliment.
Kante stroked his white beard and said lightly: "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 have to ask if the pros and cons are worth the risk. ”
"Your Excellency is right, the death of ninety percent of apprentices will definitely do more harm than good to the juniors. How big is this 'benefit' so that we can willingly let our juniors take risks?" Kanter's voice fell, and he was also supported by most of the wizards on the field. The vast majority of the seats in this meeting are actually from small wizarding organizations, and many of them are not even small organizations, they can only be called wizard families.
It was only then that the crowd began to talk about it.
Ingres saw it very clearly, if Kanter hadn't proposed it, maybe this group of people didn't care about the death of any descendants, they cared about how much their own interests could have. Even at this point, they are not really arguing, but want to use Kante to put pressure on Rosen in exchange for greater benefits.
Rosen "coughed" twice, sucking the attention of everyone present to himself again, and then said: "I have just said that what is eliminated is only the dross, and what is left is the real essence." For these people who can survive the blood sacrifice, the true elite, we do not hesitate to reward. ”
"And what is this reward?" Kanter 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 elite you value will gain a huge harvest from this? Even if you are a little unlucky enough to comprehend it, immersing yourself in the rich purifying power is enough to increase the chances of advancing to the full-fledged wizard. ”
Rosen pointed out the substantive benefits this time, if he can really comprehend the purification vein, it is a power that even their group of people are eager to see, and it is not an exaggeration to say that "one step to the sky".
Of course, they also know very well that it is not easy to comprehend the purification vein, and the probability is as low as one in ten thousand. But as Rosen said, even if you don't comprehend the purification vein, the power of purification is enough to push up the chances of advancing to formalities, which is not a loss.
The crowd was lost in thought.
"I'm sure that none of you here want your juniors to be in swaddling clothes and protected in an ivory tower, right? Killing and cruelty are the main themes of wizards, aren't they?"
Rosen continued to incitement with words on the side. But none of the people present were vegetarians, so it was natural to hear that Rosen's words actually had a big loophole. Even Angel understands that Rosen is playing with words. Killing and cruelty are indeed the main themes of wizards. But this time it is a "forced killing" in a prison, it can be said that apprentices are just ** and abandoned chess pieces, how can there be any main theme at all?
"And, for your beloved apprentice, you can tell the apprentice directly. Let them make their own choices, and as for the other apprentices who don't live up to their name, I want you to keep them a secret. Rosen continued to add weight.
Perhaps it was because Rosen's pie was too tempting, or maybe Kanter was so confident in Qili that he took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and no longer argue with Rosen. Apparently, he had acquiesced to what Rosen said.
"How about you, if you don't disagree, why don't you put pen to paper and sign this contract?" Rosen urged.
Of course, the contract will still pass in the end, and this is a choice that everyone present has made when they see the contract. But Kante only talked about the interests of the apprentices, not 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 side that was not "Sky Machinery City", what would Sanders think?
Even Rosen looked at Sanders, and he knew that whether he could take advantage of the greater interests depended on Sanders' words.
Sanders closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a long time, and he didn't say anything in the previous conversation, until then he said slowly: "I have no opinion." ”
When Sanders said this, Rosen breathed a sigh of relief.
Angels is not surprised by Sanders's choice, for unrelated people, Sanders will not care about their life or death at all.
"However, the size of the wizarding organization is different, and there are even wizarding families present. According to the contract, each wizarding organization is allocated two fixed slots, which is not fair to large wizarding organizations. Sanders said lightly.
The power of the law absorbed by a wizard is of course very different from the power of the law absorbed by a wizard's apprentice. There are thousands of wizard apprentices, or even tens of thousands of people can share the power of this law, but for official wizards, perhaps one person can worth hundreds of apprentices, so the number of places they give out is so small.
But as Sanders said, it's not fair that large organizations give two slots, and small organizations and even wizarding families give two slots.
Regarding this point raised by Sanders, Rosen said very happily: "This can be discussed." ”
So, for the next day and night, the meeting hall was discussing this matter.
In this scene, Sanders directly accelerated and skipped, 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, large wizarding organizations must give 10 or more places each time, medium-sized organizations give 4 or more places, as for the remaining small organizations and wizard families, Rosen said that he would talk to them in detail before making a decision.
After the illusion is over, Angel returns to the table.
He still had a knife and fork in his hand, but he was trembling slightly. On the plate in front of him was a piece of shaman's milk cake, which had been cut in half, giving off a rich milky aroma.
"Now do you understand?" Sanders didn't have any sweets in front of him, just a cup of black tea that emitted white steam.
"Can't you replace it with another species?" Ingres asked Sanders.
"Is there a difference?" Sanders, with thin lips close to the delicate porcelain cup, breathed in white air through his nose, and took a gentle sip of tea.
Ingres lowered his head, it really doesn't make a difference, humans are life, and other species are also life.
Sanders had long felt that according to Ingres's character, he might be worried about this, but unexpectedly, Ingres quickly figured it out.
The wizarding world is not what mortals imagine to be in the light of the moon, this is the reality. Ingres' ability to accept this reality so quickly means that he is actually slowly integrating into the world.
