Section 2603 Statue

The first time Angel saw the fountain, he noticed the human-shaped statue inside.

The statues built in the huge square in the living area always carry some meaning. Perhaps we can get some clues from the identity of the statue.

With this thought, Angel came over to take a closer look.

When the lady in the statue revealed her true face, Angel pondered for a moment. There is no doubt that this is a statue of a goddess, because the halo of light behind her head, which represents deification, shows her identity.

But, what kind of god is she? Which religion's god? Why did Nairo City allow a statue to be built in the living area in the first place.

These questions filled Angel's mind instantly.

However, as the cleaning work continued, all these previous problems were forgotten. Because he saw the naked child on the right side of the scale.

In an instant, a chord in Angel's heart was touched, and the experience he had in Naraku City in the Nightmare Realm came to mind.

He desperately wanted to know if this child was the same... child.

Fortunately, the statue's head only fell into the fountain and was not broken.

When the child's head was reattached, Angel's doubts finally got the answer.

Same!

The face is exactly the same as that of the pissing child statue at the entrance to the Prison Staircase!

…

"Do you see anything strange?" Vai approached Kael and asked. He knew that Kael liked to explore various ruins and might know something.

Kael pondered: "The strangest thing is what this statue is holding in its left hand and the child on the scale in its right hand."

"Judging from the holding position of the left hand, the statue once seemed to be holding a sword?" Kael said and looked at Doakes. Doakes was the only one present with a sword as a weapon.

Doakes nodded: "It is indeed the posture of holding the sword. Judging from the grip of the hand, the hilt should be wide at the front and narrow at the back... Well, this should not be a thin sword. Also, the only missing part of the entire statue , this is the sword. It is estimated that this sword is not a stone sculpture, but a sword with real combat power. Unfortunately, it has been taken away by the later ones. "

Doakes sighed: "I really want to see what this sword will look like."

As a sword user, it was normal for Doakes to feel this way, but Kael could not empathize with him. After he learned that the sword he held in his left hand was indeed a sword, his expression was slightly strange.

"Let's put aside the child statue. Just talk about this goddess statue, holding a sword in one hand and a scale in the other... Don't you think it looks familiar?" Kael said softly.

Kael's words reminded everyone... a name was about to come out.

"You mean, the goddess of judgment?" The two apprentices didn't dare to call her by her name, but Doakes didn't care. Not only did he call her by her name, he also touched his chin and thought: "According to your description, there is really a bit of judgment. The charm of the goddess is just missing a bit of majesty.”

The goddess of judgment, it is correct to say that she is a god. But she does not have a real form, you can even think of her as...the will of the world.

Yes, it is the will of the world.

Because the name of the Goddess of Judgment, and her statue, were placed in the heretical tribunal of the extreme sect.

It can be said that the extremist sect carries the banner of the will of the world and deifies a god of judgment. In the name of the goddess of judgment, it punishes all things from other worlds.

"Could it be that this place is related to an extremist sect?" Doakes frowned and thought.

No one said anything, but looked at the Black Earl and Angel.

The two of them did not speak from beginning to end. The Black Earl only had one nose and could not see any emotions. Angel actually frowned and pondered for a long time. Did he discover something?

In fact, if the Black Earl now embodied a body, he would be looking at Angel like everyone else.

This was the first time he saw this statue, but the child with black and white wings reminded him of something. However, he did not speak immediately, but wanted to hear what Angel would say.

How could Angel, who had been watched for most of the day, not feel the attention of everyone?

He sighed softly, and under the attention of everyone, he said: "This is also the first time I have seen this statue. I also listened to your guess just now, and I think it makes sense."

Doakes: "...Is this the end?"

Angel shrugged: "What else can I say? Kael's speculation is indeed very reasonable. She holds a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, which is very similar to the goddess of judgment."

"You have nothing else to add. Are you standing there frowning for a long time and thinking about this?" Doakes looked unbelieving.

Angel thought for a while and said, "However, I say she looks like the goddess of judgment, but actually I think she looks more like the goddess of prison."

"Prison Goddess? What kind of god is this? Why haven't I heard of it?" Doakes asked doubtfully.

Angel: "A friend of mine created a god."

Doakes's eyes lit up: "The god created by your friend? Who is your friend? Could it be the ancient one from the abyss?"

Angel: "Don't lie to me. I'm really not familiar with the Ancient One. The friend I'm talking about is the colleague who entered the Savage Cave with me. His name is Sarum. In the Rising Star Competition not long ago, he used a Using a very powerful method of deification, he turned a prison book in his hand into a goddess who judged the evil in the world. "

"Her posture is also holding a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, which is somewhat similar to the goddess of judgment of the extreme sect. However, the eyes of the prison goddess are covered by black cloth, which symbolizes absolute justice."

While Angel was speaking, he also used illusion to present the scene of the Rising Stars Competition.

When everyone saw the Goddess of Prison transformed by Cerum and compared it with the statue in front of them, they found that she was more like the Goddess of Judgment than the Goddess of Judgment.

Because this goddess statue, although not covered with a black cloth, had its eyes closed.

The Goddess of Judgment had to look directly at all the sins in the world, more like the Goddess of Killing.

The Goddess of Prison was like a judge sitting in the court, sentencing the most suitable law with an absolutely fair attitude.

"It turned out to be just an apprentice who made it. I thought it was really a god. However, you are right. Judging from the temperament, the goddess in front of us is not like the God of Killing, but more like the Goddess of Prison who is in charge of the law." After Dox finished speaking, he pointed to the naked child on the right side of Libra: "If you say the God of Killing, he is more like it. The left side is the criminal, and the right side is him holding a bow and arrow to enforce the law, and the goddess only needs to give a judgment."

Dox was just joking at first, but the more he talked, the more he felt that it seemed that this understanding was not wrong.

The goddess judges, and the child kills. The black and white wings represent justice and evil. The bow and arrow are the weapons of law enforcement.

This logic is self-consistent.

Dox looked at everyone: "Do you think what I said is true?"

Kael and Wai agreed silently in their hearts, and Angel did not deny it. Only the Black Earl did not react at all... because his attention was not on Dox.

"Your friend should have a very special physique or bloodline, right? This prison goddess already has the prototype of the law domain, and ordinary apprentices can't bear it." The Black Earl's eyes were still in the illusion.

Angel nodded: "Yes, the body of a sage."

"The body of a sage? This is rare. No wonder he can use the law as a weapon. However, judging from his fighting style, his body of a sage is incomplete. This battle should be the last one. The domain of law is not something he can get involved in at this stage. The Goddess of the Prison Code will ultimately judge him."

Angel nodded again: "Your Excellency is right. After that battle, the Black Code disappeared and he became decadent."

Angel looked at the Black Earl: "Your Excellency suddenly cares about Selum. Is there a way to save him?"

The Black Earl: "Yes, there is, but in exchange..."

Angel's brows began to frown when he heard the words "in exchange".

The Black Earl chuckled: "Just tell me what you were thinking about just now when you were standing in front of the fountain. Of course, you can say as much as you want, but you have to make sure that what you say is true."

"That's it?" Angel was stunned for a moment. He thought the Black Earl was going to mention the Noah clan again.

The Black Earl nodded: "That's it. Because I'm also a little curious about your friend's physique."

Angel: "Are you curious about the Sage's Body?"

The Black Earl: "No, I'm just curious about how he survived the Azure Bloodline... You don't have to look at me like that. Since I can see that there is a problem with his Sage's Body, I can naturally guess that he is not born with the Sage's Body, and there is no environment for the birth of the Sage's Body in the South Region. He must have extracted the Azure Bloodline of other creatures to achieve the Sage's Body."

"And the Azure Bloodline is not so easy to integrate. I'm curious about how he integrated it."

Angel thought about it and felt that this exchange seemed to be quite cost-effective, because there was no need for the Black Earl to urge him, and he would talk about the Ladder of the Suspended Prison when the time came.

And if the problem of the Black Code is not solved, then Sailum may really be completely useless.

As for whether Sailum is willing to have his Azure Bloodline studied, it will be up to him to judge at that time. Whether Sailum is willing or not, at least this is a chance.

"Okay, I can tell you what I was thinking just now. But I think you will be disappointed."

As soon as Angell said this, Dox said, "You don't think the same as me, do you? Let me tell you, I was the first to say that the goddess judges and the child enforces the law."

Angel turned his head and smiled at Dox, "Don't worry, my thoughts should never cross with yours."

That's good... Dox stroked his chest, but after a little thought, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what Angell said?

However, before Dox could figure it out, Angell had already started talking about the statue.

"My focus is not on this goddess statue, but on this child statue." Angell said, while drawing a circle in the air with a short staff.

The illusion of a bare-bottomed child with black and white wings and holding an open bow appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was wondering, why use illusion when the statue was not right next to them?

But soon, they found something different, because the naked child suddenly fell from the flying posture, retracted his wings into his back, and then pulled up the gauze around his waist in full view of everyone, revealing a cute little sparrow.

Then, in full view of everyone, the little sparrow spit out a beautiful water-colored arc.

The arc fell directly on Dox's face.

Dox thought it was an illusion and did not dodge, but when the water-colored arc touched his cheek, a warm and wet feeling came over.

Dox jumped four or five steps away in fright, staring at Angel with wide eyes: "What are you doing?"

"To make it more realistic, don't worry, it's not boy's urine, just warm water to help you wake up."

Even though Angel explained that it was water, Doakes still felt a little aggrieved: "I need to wake up. I am very energetic, so if I want to wake up, it should be... Vai, this guy follows me as soon as he enters the ruins. It’s like he’s a different person, no, you have to be fair and give him a shot.”

Angel saw that Doakes was really a little emotional, but the method of calming his emotions was very characteristic of him.

He directly pulled out his friends to share the blessings.

"If you want to drink, just do it yourself." Angel turned his head and returned to his serious look.

The Black Earl also asked at the right time: "Is this kid who peed and the kid on the scale the same person?"

Angel: "As long as there are no accidents, it should be."

In fact, the child's face has not completely grown, so it is difficult to say anything conclusive. However, the two images are somewhat different.

Whether it's a child on a scale or a child taking a piss, their faces and expressions are exactly the same.

He seemed to be laughing innocently, but there was an inexplicable sense of narrow-mindedness and sarcasm in his eyes. This is a feeling that is difficult to describe, because there is nothing wrong on the surface. He has cute little round eyes and chubby cheeks. He is just a very cute child.

But when you look at him, you seem to be able to see through his outer skin and see the mischief and sarcasm hidden in his heart.

Moreover, like the statue of the goddess, he gives people the feeling of being superior. Even when he is peeing, he has a sense of overlooking all living beings.

Not only Angel could see this feeling, but the Black Earl could also feel it.

"Where did you see this pissing child?" asked the Black Earl.

"I can't answer this question. However, I can help you ask it in another way." Angel paused: "For example, where is the statue of the pissing child?"

From Angel's deliberate change of question, the Black Earl had some vague suspicions in his mind. However, this has nothing to do with the current situation, and the Black Earl would not be stupid enough to ask now.

"Then where is its statue?" Earl Black asked following Angel's words.

"It's outside the Prison Staircase." After Angel finished speaking, he saw that everyone was confused and explained: "The Prison Staircase is a building in the underground labyrinth, or an official institution. Its function is to detain criminals."

"Are we going to the prison ladder?"

Angel shook his head: "Yes. However, we went to the Prison Ladder not to explore, but because that is the landmark building I want to find. If we find it, we will not be far from our destination."

Angel looked at the statue in front of him, then looked back at the tall maze wall behind him.

"The existence of this statue means that... this place is not far from the prison ladder."
