Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots

Chapter 1164: Chapter 477: Banquet of Madness_4

Once she loses her value, she’ll be discarded without hesitation.

This realization made her despair, but it also awakened her survival instinct.

In the Wizard’s world, the weak must prove their value to survive.

"I... I know many secrets..."

She spoke in a weak but clear voice, striving to sound valuable:

"The true purpose of the Life Tree School... the truth of this carnival... and that thing deep underground..."

She deliberately paused, observing their reactions.

Sure enough, these keywords immediately captured everyone’s attention.

"Continue talking."

Ron still spoke with indifference, but there was a glimmer of interest in his eyes.

"I need... treatment..."

Caroline raised her hand with difficulty, pointing to the Potion in Ron’s hand:

"The toxin... is killing me... if I die... you’ll never know the truth..."

This was a desperate gamble.

She was using her only chip to exchange for a chance to survive.

Edwin spoke impatiently:

"Let’s have her give us some useful information first, then decide whether to heal her. What if she’s deceiving us?"

But Caroline, though weak, still had a clear mind:

"I can... give you some... small information... to prove my value..."

A cunning gleam flashed in her eyes:

"For example... you think this is an arena... but actually... it’s a huge... laboratory..."

With bloody fingers, she began drawing simple patterns in the sand:

"Look here... these Element junctions... their distribution is not random..."

The first pattern showed seven circles arranged in a specific geometric relationship.

"If you observe carefully... you’ll find they form an Array..."

Ron carefully studied the deeper meaning of this pattern.

The distribution of these Element junctions indeed conformed to the construction rules of some ancient Array.

Moreover, the scale of this Array was large enough to affect the Magic Power flow of the entire Quicksand Lands.

"What is the purpose of this Array?"

Caroline gave a painful smile:

"That’s... more valuable information, I need... real treatment..."

There was a clear tone of negotiation in her voice.

Even in such a critical moment, she was still calculating her chips shrewdly.

Ron pondered for a moment, then poured the Healing Potion on her:

"Just basic treatment, enough to keep you from dying temporarily.

If your information is valuable, there will be better treatment, if you’re deceiving us..."

He didn’t finish the threat, but the meaning was very clear.

The warm potion seeped into Caroline’s wounds, immediately alleviating most of the pain.

Although the toxin was not fully cleared, at least it ensured she wouldn’t die in the short term.

Feeling the life flowing again, a grateful expression appeared in Caroline’s eyes.

But at the same time, she began to carefully observe the expressions and postures of her four "saviors."

She had to ensure her value could continue, because once she lost her usefulness, what awaited her was ruthless abandonment.

"Now you can speak."

Ron urged.

Caroline shook her head with difficulty:

"I... I can’t say it directly..."

An extreme fear appeared in her eyes, and she subconsciously touched her abdomen:

"Inside... monitoring... will..."

Her voice abruptly stopped, as if something had forcibly cut off her throat.

Ron immediately sensed the anomaly.

He activated "Extraordinary Recognition," carefully examining Caroline’s physical condition.

Under a higher level of Perception, he saw subtle Magic Power lines, like a spider web across her nervous system.

These lines would react violently when she tried to speak certain key information.

"It must be control devices. We’ve seen too many such modified warriors."

Edwin shook his head, explaining with some pity:

"The Life Tree School’s classic method, implanting biological constructs in the neural center to restrict core members’ speech and actions."

"Once she tries to leak important secrets, these devices will cause her great pain, even outright killing her."

Ron understood Caroline’s predicament.

She wanted to provide valuable information to exchange for a survival chance, but the restrictions in her body prevented her from speaking directly.

"You can’t say it directly, but you should be able to... guide?" he asked tentatively.

Hope immediately flashed in Caroline’s eyes, and she nodded cautiously.

"Alright, we’ll take it slowly."

Ron also spoke cautiously, afraid that this hard-earned "captive" would die unexpectedly:

"Remember, don’t try to reveal secrets directly, just give me enough clues."

Feeling no clear activation of the internal device, Caroline began her "guidance" cautiously:

"As I mentioned before."

She said softly: "Someone deliberately designed these junctions to form an Array."

Caroline drew a second pattern in the sand.

This time, the pattern revealed a huge funnel structure, below which connected to a complex network of pipelines.

"If... if there is such a... collection system..."

She pointed to the funnel:

"When is the... best time... for collection?"

Ron looked at this pattern and began to deduce based on previous information.

The best collection timing...

"When the target is in a state of extreme emotional agitation."

He said: "Fear, anger, despair... these intense emotions make Life Energy more concentrated."

"And also... the moment of death."
