The Pen of Judgment...
It couldn't render a judgment?
Every alchemist present looked stunned. They even wondered whether they had misheard.
As Stephenson's most famous divine artifact, the Pen of Judgment had resolved countless unsolved cases.
Before Babeila disappeared, the Pen of Judgment had once been Halse Palace's most sought-after divine artifact. Whenever people made new progress in their research but were temporarily unable to reach a conclusion, they would come seeking the Pen of Judgment's aid.
It was said that Stephenson's academic committee had once considered inviting the Pen of Judgment to join its editorial team.
Unfortunately, the playful Pen of Judgment had refused.
What it represented were the laws of the God of Truth.
With the God of Truth himself having lived in seclusion for many years, the Pen of Judgment had practically become synonymous with truth and justice.
In the hearts of Stephenson's wizards, the Pen of Judgment was omnipotent.
"When in doubt, seek judgment."
That was no joke. As long as one could bear the consequences of its judgment, the Pen of Judgment was indeed the most convenient way to settle disputes.
Unfortunately, that had been the glory of Babeila's era.
This was the Pen of Judgment's first appearance in Ansu Li's era, yet the wizards' reverence for it had not diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, because of the importance of today's topic, they valued it even more.
Yet this result... was rather shocking.
"Don't look at me!"
"No laughing!"
The Pen of Judgment complained aggrievedly, "I just can't make a judgment!"
"There's something wrong with this statement!"
"I can't tell you whether it's correct or incorrect, so there is no judgment!"
Everyone was slightly taken aback. The more thoughtful among them began pondering whether the Pen of Judgment's words contained some deeper meaning,
