Chapter 460 Rainy Night Visitor <TOC> Chapter 462 The Cruel Truth

Sanders was very interested in the Mysterious Soul Whisper and repeatedly asked Angel to recite the corresponding syllables, testing and recording Angel’s soul’s response to it.
After a while, Angel’s soul floated to Sanders’ side.
“Mysterious Soul Whisper is an extraordinary power that doesn’t belong to the Wizarding World system.” After repeated tests, Sanders came to this conclusion, saying directly: “It seems that the ‘Mystborn’ that Isabelle mentioned, the intelligent life from another world, definitely possesses an extraordinary power that can rival the power of the Wizarding World.”
The only reason wizards can traverse countless planes is that they cultivate themselves, relying on the accumulation of knowledge and experience, and pursuing truth. The wizard’s spells will not disappear or weaken due to crossing planes, which is the strongest aspect of wizards.
However, after this test, Sanders found that the “Mystborn” Mysterious Soul Whisper is also a spell that can bypass the suppression of different planes’ wills, and it is completely detached from the wizard’s system. He couldn’t even understand the underlying principles.
“I can’t achieve astral projection when I recite this passage. It shows that this Mysterious Soul Whisper is based on a source mechanism, which represents different manifestations for each individual. This is what Isabelle called ‘personal customization.'” Sanders pondered: “So, the source of this mechanism is likely the ‘Mystborn’ extraordinary formula. By substituting personal data, the formula calculates different conclusions, resulting in different expressions.”
Sanders’ eyes were bright; this was the first time he had seen such a magical spell, and he really wanted to know the true source of this Mysterious Soul Whisper.
Source World, Augustine’s Twin Mirror, Mysterious Soul Whisper, Mystborn, other worlds… All these things were telling Sanders and Angel that there were many fascinating places on their unknown journey ahead, waiting for them to explore.
“It seems I should plan to enter the Source World as well.” Sanders finally sighed and turned his attention back to Angel.
Angel’s soul was now much more solid, and the impurities had almost disappeared.
The sacrificial ritual of the Living Soul Garden caused the Gravity Lines in his body to gather into a group. Later, with Isabelle’s help, he reinforced the source of the Gravity Lines’ pulsation. Now he could temporarily use the power of the Gravity Lines.
Although using Gravity Lines now consumes soul power, as long as it is not used all at once, the soul power will slowly replenish over time. In addition, Isabelle also taught Angel a method to cultivate soul power, so for Angel, the power of Gravity Lines is no longer a taboo power. It can be integrated into his regular power and used routinely.
However, Angel’s development of the power of Gravity Lines was still insufficient. According to Sanders’ tests, the gravity pulsation that could originally reach the wizard level could only achieve the effect of a peak second-level trick or a third-level beginner trick when used by Angel.
To make the Gravity Lines stronger and in line with their core principles, Angel needs more practice.
As for the practice methods, Sanders gave Angel some suggestions based on his own perspective, but in the end, Angel had to complete it himself.
After testing both matters, the time had reached noon.
Mentor and apprentice left the Gravity Garden and went to the restaurant to eat. The dishes prepared by No. 1 didn’t have extraordinary food, but the taste was good. During the meal, the two aristocratic men maintained a courteous silence. It was not until the tea time after the meal that Angel took the initiative to break the silence.
“Mentor, what happened to the Purification Garden?” Angel paused and recalled that he had met Cherie the previous night: “Cherie said she would cover me in the Purification Garden. Does that mean there will be large-scale battles in the Purification Garden?”
Sanders pondered for a moment: “The matter of the Purification Garden is somewhat complicated.”
“Complicated?”
“You guessed it, there indeed needs to be large-scale chaos.” Sanders thought for a moment: “I was originally planning to sort out the information from all parties and tell you later, but since you brought it up now, it doesn’t matter.”
“I might have missed some points; you can see for yourself.”
Sanders directly constructed several illusion nodes around Angel, simulating the scene of the meeting at the Mechanical Tower the day before yesterday using a phantom illusion, and selected the main parts for Angel to access.
Angel suddenly found himself in the illusory realm from the restaurant…
This was a huge circular hall, with undulating seats arranged in a circle, ensuring that every wizard on the seat could see the central platform. A young man in a black robe stood on the central platform, whom Angel was not unfamiliar with, as it was the person who stopped Bogula’s attack outside the Magic Potion Hut the day before yesterday.
As for the identity of the young man, Angel had also learned from Sanders –
‘Mechanical Beast King’ Rosen, one of the two city lords of Sky Mechanical City, in charge of the main city area.
In theory, the meeting at the Mechanical Tower should have been presided over by the other city lord, ‘The Mediocre’ Muse, but Muse was a pure intellectual who didn’t like such occasions. He was mainly responsible for the other side of the Mechanical City, but in fact, he didn’t manage the other side much either, delegating authority to the wizards under him. He stayed in the Research Institute almost all year round, and many products of the Mechanical City were developed under his guidance. Even Nisi, Mentor of Hookedick and Saka, used the universal light instrument to test Angel’s soul, which was also developed by Muse.
If Muse was the brains, then Rosen was the muscles. Having him preside over this meeting could suppress the wizards from various factions.
Rosen stood on the central platform, surrounded by official wizards.
At first glance, it was a dense crowd.
This was probably the first time Angel had seen so many wizards gathered, at least two or three hundred wizards. If it is said that one person from each wizard organization is a representative, then so many wizards in the field represent at least nearly three hundred wizard organizations.
However, Angel noticed that the faces of most wizards in the Wizarding World were obscured by mist, making it difficult for Angel to see them clearly. Only a select few wizards had their faces exposed, including Sanders and Canter, who were seated in the front row.
Sanders kindly gave Angel time to observe before he refocused his gaze on Rosen and opened the formation.
“The advancement of the Purification Garden is imminent, and we have gathered you here to discuss this matter,” Rosen said from the podium, his mechanical voice echoing throughout the venue.
Purification Garden Advancement?
Angel knew that there were different classes of Wizard Gardens, divided into low, intermediate, and high. In more detail, each class had three sub-levels: levels 1-3 were low-level, levels 4-6 were intermediate-level, and levels 7-9 were high-level.
The classification standard was based on the degree to which the garden’s laws affected the wizards.
For example, the laws of a low-level garden had a greater impact on wizard apprentices and little effect on full-fledged wizards; the laws of an intermediate-level garden could affect wizards; and the laws of a high-level garden affected both knowledgeable and legendary wizards. It was rumored that there were even higher-level gardens, but they were beyond the reach of the Southern Domain’s wizarding world.
Take Sanders’ Gravity Garden as an example. When it was in its budding stage, it had a normal gravity of 3.17 times. According to calculations, when the power of the laws is at its peak, the gravity in the center can reach up to 93 times.
For bloodline-side wizard apprentices, ten times the gravity was enough for an excellent baptism effect; bloodline-side full-fledged wizards needed 30-100 times the gravity for baptism; and over 100 times the gravity was useful for second-level wizards.
From the data above, it can be deduced that Sanders’ Gravity Garden was an intermediate-level garden, ranking as a fourth-level Wizard Garden.
Angel had known early on that the Purification Garden was a low-level garden, with a rank no higher than 3, affecting only those below the second-level apprentice. When they reached the third-level apprentice, they would hardly be affected by the Purification Garden anymore, which was why third-level apprentices didn’t come to the Purification Garden.
Why would Rosen suddenly mention that a garden with a rank no higher than 3 was about to “advance”? What was the reason?
Moreover, Rosen said “advance,” not “promote.” This meant that the Purification Garden would go from a low-level garden to an intermediate-level one, which contained laws powerful enough to affect full-fledged wizards!
As Angel pondered, Rosen revealed the reason.
“As everyone knows, the Purification Garden is currently a low-level garden, at the end of level 3. However, the accumulation of the Purification Garden has now reached a sufficient level, and according to Muse’s calculations, with just a little help, it can enter the ranks of intermediate-level gardens.”
Rosen looked at the wizards present, all of whom were indifferent and showed no emotion.
After all, even if the Purification Garden advanced to an intermediate-level, it would still belong to Sky Mechanical City, and it had nothing to do with them.
“The reason Sky Mechanical City invited you here is because this advancement is closely related to you… as well as the participants of the wizard organizations you belong to,” Rosen said.
“What does this mean?” A wizard asked.
Rosen: “You will know soon enough why it is closely related to all of you. I can reveal to you our plan with Muse: as long as the Purification Garden advances to the intermediate level, each time the Purification Garden is opened, two fixed quota spots will be allocated to the wizarding organizations you all belong to.”
When Rosen mentioned this matter concerning their own interests, the wizards present finally showed a trace of reaction and began to whisper to each other.
After a while, someone asked: “What are the prerequisites for allocating fixed quota spots? Why would His Majesty the Beast King say that this matter is related to the participants of each wizarding organization?”
Rosen looked at the questioner: “This involves the elements of advancing the Purification Garden. You can take a look at the contract I listed, and you will understand the causes and consequences.”
Rosen waved his hand gently, and countless magic eyes entered, placing scrolls in front of everyone.
“On the scroll is a contract, as long as you sign it, you will be able to enjoy the fixed quota spots when the ‘intermediate’ Purification Garden is opened in the future.” Rosen specifically emphasized the word ‘intermediate,’ because the intermediate garden could already have an impact on official wizards.
