The first time Angel saw the fountain, he noticed the human-shaped statue inside.
Statues built in large squares in living areas 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 was no doubt that this was a statue of a goddess, because the halo behind her head, which represented deification, revealed her identity.
But, what kind of god is she? Which religion is she? Why did Naraku City allow a statue of a god 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 scales.
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.
the 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 asked as he approached Kael. He knew that Kael liked to explore various ruins and might know something.
Kael pondered: "The strangest thing is the thing held in the left hand of this statue and the child on the scale in the 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 person present who used 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 wider at the front and narrower 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 effectiveness. Unfortunately, it has been taken away by a latercomer."
Doakes said with emotion: "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 she call her by her name, he also touched his chin and thought: "According to your description, there is really a bit of judgment.
She has the charm of a goddess, but lacks 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 Earl Black and Angel.
The two of them didn't speak from the beginning to the end. The Black Earl only had one nose and couldn't show any emotion. But Angel 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 just like everyone else.
It was also the first time for him to see 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. He holds a sword in one hand and a scale in the other, 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 then 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 a 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 evils of 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 talking, he also used illusion to show the scene of the Rising Stars Competition at that time.
Everyone saw the Prison Goddess transformed by Sarum, and compared it with the statue in front of them, they really looked more like the Goddess of Judgment.
Because this goddess statue, although not covered with black cloth, has her eyes closed.
The goddess of judgment looks directly at all the evil in the world, more like the god of killing.
The Prison Goddess is like a judge sitting in a courtroom, imposing the most appropriate laws with absolute impartiality.

The goddess is not like the god of killing, but more like the goddess of prison who is in charge of laws." After Doakes finished speaking, he pointed to the naked child on the right side of the scale: "When it comes to the god of killing, he is more like the god of killing.
.On the left is the criminal, on the right he is enforcing the law with a bow and arrow, and the goddess only needs to give the verdict."
Doakes originally just said it jokingly, but the more he said it, the more he felt that it was right to understand it this way.
The goddess comes to judge, and the child comes to kill. The black and white wings represent justice and evil. Bows and arrows are weapons of law enforcement.
This logic is self-consistent.
Doakes looked at everyone: "Do you think what I said is true?"
Kael and Vai silently agreed in their hearts, and Angel did not deny it. Only the Black Earl did not react at all... because his attention was not on Doakes.
"This friend of yours must have a very special physique or bloodline, right? This prison goddess has already taken the form of a legal domain, and ordinary apprentices cannot 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 laws as weapons. However, judging from his fighting style, his body of a sage is incomplete. This battle should be the last one, and the legal domain is not
Whatever he can get involved with at this stage, the Prison Goddess will ultimately decide on himself."
Angel nodded again: "My lord, you are right. After that battle, Black Code disappeared and he became decadent."
Angel looked at the Black Earl: "My lord suddenly cares about Sarum. Is there a way to save it?"
Earl Black: "Yes, yes, but in exchange..."
When Angel heard the words "in exchange", his brows began to wrinkle.
The Black Earl chuckled: "Just tell me what you were thinking about while 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, thinking that the Black Count was going to mention the Noah family again.
The Black Earl nodded: "That's it. Because I am also a little curious about your friend's physique."
Angel: "Sir, are you curious about the body of a sage?"
Black Earl: "No, I'm just curious about how he survived the blue blood... You don't have to look at me like that. Since I can see that there is something wrong with his sage's body, I can naturally guess that he is not a born sage.
There is no environment for the birth of a sage's body in the Southern Territory. It must be the azure blood of other creatures that was extracted to create the sage's body."
"The azure bloodline is not so easy to fuse. I am very curious about how he fused."
Angel thought for a while and felt that this exchange seemed quite cost-effective, because there was no need for the Black Earl to press him, and he would talk about the prison ladder when the time came.
As for the problem of the black code, if it is not solved, then Sarum may really be completely destroyed.
As for whether Salum is willing to be studied for the blue bloodline, it will be left to him to judge when the time comes. Regardless of whether Salum is willing or not, at least this is an opportunity.
"Okay, I can tell you what I was thinking just now. However, you may be disappointed."
As soon as Angel said this, Doakes said next to him: "You shouldn't think the same as me, right? Let me tell you, it was I who said the goddess's judgment and the children's law enforcement."
Angel turned his head and said to Doakes with a smile: "Don't worry, my thoughts will never cross with yours."
That's good... Doakes stroked his chest, but after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Angel's words?
However, before Doakes could taste it, Angel had already started talking about the statue.
"The focus of my attention is not on the statue of the goddess, but on the statue of the child." Angel said as he drew a circle in mid-air with his short staff.
The phantom of a child with a bare head, long black and white wings, and holding an open bow, appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone is wondering, if the statue is not right next to it, why are they using illusions?
But soon, they discovered the difference, because the naked child suddenly fell from the flying posture, retracted his wings on his back, and then, in full view of everyone, pulled up the gauze around his waist, revealing a
Cute little sparrow.
Then, in full view of everyone, the little sparrow spit out a beautiful water-colored arc.
The arc fell straight on Doakes' face.
Doakes originally thought it was an illusion and did not avoid it, but when the water-colored arc touched his cheek, a warm and moist feeling came over him.
Doakes was so frightened that he jumped four or five steps away and looked at Angel with wide eyes: "What are you doing?"
"To be more realistic, don't worry, it's not child urine, it's just warm water to help you wake up."
Even though Angel explained that this was water, Doakes still felt a little aggrieved: "I need to wake up. I'm 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 more 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.
I directly pulled out my 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 child who is peeing and the child 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 fully grown yet, so it is difficult to say something conclusive. However, these 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.
She seemed to be laughing innocently, but there was an inexplicable sense of narrow-mindedness and sarcasm in her eyes. This is a feeling that is difficult to describe, because there is nothing wrong on the surface, and her eyes are cute little round eyes.
With chubby cheeks, he is a very cute child.
But when you look at him, it seems that you can 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 can see this feeling, but the Black Earl can 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 imprison criminals."
"We're 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."
