Goddess of Dark Night
The moment the three goddesses descended, Arthur Lionheart, who was seated on his Throne, instantly rose, strode to the goddesses, and respectfully knelt on one knee.
"Greetings, Your Highness Annatania, Your Highness Sariel, Your Highness Livier!"
Annatania nodded slightly, while Sariel looked at Arthur Lionheart with curiosity and smiled.
"Arthur Lionheart, I've heard you're of the Father's bloodline?"
"Yes, Your Highness, Lady Sariel, the Goddess of Fortune, the Lionheart Family is indeed descended from the Great Lord; we have genealogy records and bloodlines to prove it."
Arthur Lionheart answered quickly, his words clear and firm.
"Hehehe, I said that on purpose, don't be nervous. Father God said that you are the most outstanding among his Lionheart Bloodborn."
Sariel laughed.
Beside her, Annatania and Livier gazed tenderly at the goddess in the white dress, letting her speak.
Arthur Lionheart was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Our ancestors praise us too much. Arthur merely carries on their blood and inherits their legacy; his actions are insignificant."
No need to be modest!
Sariel smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Merlin, who was kneeling in the hall and hadn't dared to raise his head, and asked with a smile.
Who is this person?
Merlin, who was kneeling on the ground, panicked upon hearing this.
Based on his many years of experience, the three goddesses before him must be extremely noble figures in Feland.
Although Arthur and the others didn't say it explicitly, he had a vague but certain guess in his heart.
The Father God mentioned by the White-Winged Goddess is probably the Lord of Judgment suppressed the entire Wizard World.
The divine blood flowing through Arthur's veins must be the bloodline of the Lord of Judgment.
So he became even more respectful.
Furthermore, he believed that Arthur Lionheart would surely speak well of him.
Just as he was waiting.
Sure enough, Arthur Lionheart explained it for him.
"Your Highness, this is Merlin, the Rule Wizard has abandoned darkness for light. He has abolished his own Wizard System and created the Arcanist System based on Mage!"
"Your Highness, Master Merlin once served in my court, and I know his character and personality. He cares about the people, cherishes the environment, and most importantly, he has a heart set on the Radiance."
"Hmm, having a heart that yearns for the Radiance is indeed a good thing!"
Sariel nodded slightly.
"Alright, you can continue. We're just here to take a look around the Nolan World; it won't interfere with your duties."
She smiled.
"Arthur, you don't need to report to me. If I'm not mistaken, the responsibility of determining whether Merlin has truly abandoned his Wizard identity and embraced the Radiance should be decided by you and Raphael."
Upon hearing this, Merlin's face instantly darkened, but Arthur Lionheart felt reassured.
Arthur Lionheart, who knew Raphael, knew this.
Despite Raphael's intense hatred for Wizard, he was unwilling to let any Wizard go unpunished.
However, he also upheld the principle of fairness, especially in the presence of the three goddesses, where Raphael could not violate his principles.
As he expected, the next moment...
High Angel Chief Raphael, standing behind the three goddesses, addressed them respectfully.
"Your Highnesses, the judgment of a reformed Wizard's character and resolve is indeed a joint decision made by Arthur Lionheart and me. Only those among us who gain our approval can continue to live on this land!"
He and Arthur, one representing humanity and the other representing Divinity, were also part of the rule set by Jiang Yuu.
He looked at Merlin, his face expressionless.
"For over a year, every Wizard who has fallen under the Sword of Judgment has said that their hearts were Radiance. I hope you can be the exception."
Upon hearing this, Merlin, who was kneeling on the ground, closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and then opened them again, speaking firmly.
"Please have Lord Raphael appraise it."
"Good."
Raphael raised a pristine white scale in his hand and called out softly.
"Great Holy Throne of Judgment, descend your divine power and weigh the person before you."
High in the sky, a beam of pure white divine light shone down, and the pristine white scales instantly lay between Raphael and Merlin.
"If the Radiance within you can outweigh the sins of your past as Wizard, then the scales will tip in your favor. If not, then the scales will tip in my sword!"
Raphael's solemn declaration.
"Let's begin the judgment!"
As he finished speaking, black and white weights began to be automatically generated on both sides of the scale.
Under the curious gazes of the three goddesses, the pure white scales seemed to be settling accounts for Merlin's entire life!
Clang! Clang!
One by one, weights representing Radiance or darkness are placed on the scales, causing them to sway from side to side.
But in the end, the white side prevailed!
Merlin survived.
"This fellow named Merlin has indeed done nothing wrong. Therefore, let the Scales of Justice witness and grant him a new lease on life."
Raphael put away his pure white composure and said calmly.
This pure white balance was actually forged by Jiang Yuu using the Law of Justice of the Nolan World when he returned to Nolan half a year ago, and then bestowed upon Raphael.
The Law of Justice is one of the laws left behind by the Sun God.
Six months ago.
It was at this moment that Fulina, the Goddess of Dark Night in Nolan World, appeared.
In the eyes of the beings in Nolan World, the Goddess of Dark Night is the oldest deity in Nolan World. Her Fabled has a long history, dating back to the ancient and ignorant era.
Her true form is unknown; perhaps she was human, or perhaps something else entirely.
People only know that her appearance in the human world was that of a beautiful girl in black, draped in a thin veil.
Originally, her appearance wouldn't have caused much of a stir for Raphael, who remained in Nolan Heaven, as Jiang Yuu's power was still there.
But this ancient goddess brought some interesting news.
She said that she was also not from Nolan World, but came from the Astral Realm.
