Chapter 38

"Alan, are you speaking on behalf of The Divine Realm?" Just a moment ago, Alan was threatening me to be careful in the future, but now he spoke with a cooperative tone. It was impossible not to feel strange about it, so I suspected that his last words were not from his own consideration.

Hisa didn't hear what Alan had just said to me, and he stood curiously at the entrance of the hall, but he didn't mind. After all, it wasn't his place to make decisions at this time.

"I am representing the Council of The Divine Realm!"

"Not Ma..."

"Qin Yang, this matter should not be discussed here. It is better for us not to meet again in the future. Meeting you will affect my followers. We can talk when there is a chance."

Alan's intention was clear. He was telling me that meeting the Demon Dragon would affect his image of being worshipped, revealing the selfishness of the deity.

"What? What should we talk about?" Hisa looked puzzled.

"I will tell you. Let's go!"

"Alan, aren't you going to attend the banquet and then leave?"

"Hisa will attend in my place. Also, I answered one more question. When you find the real him, please let me know as a reward." Alan flicked his long white sleeve. The expression he had just before stepping out of the hall changed from anger to composure, and then to calm, but it was only three seconds. When he left the hall, he returned to being a serious and virtuous deity.

Behind the uncle-like face was how he looked at me just now.

Suddenly, I had the thought of publicly exposing what he had done and said in the room. But he was Elena's father, and besides, he hadn't done anything too extreme just now. At most, a few fans would be lost if it was made public. The most important thing was that openly tearing the face with The Divine Realm would be disadvantageous for the Othrie Empire.

During the dusk, I saw Nofice in the palace, and the bruises on her arms from the red and white rods were very prominent.

"The injuries from those two rods are really excessive!" I slowly rolled up Nofice's tattered sleeve, the bruises extended all the way, and the bindings had left scars that were not shallow and very deep for a week.

"It's okay, my master will heal me, right?" Nofice was still able to smile at this time. It was the effect of the familiar contract. Without the contract, she would have no expressions.

"I will give it a try." Golden flames wrapped around Nofice's arm, which looked extremely magnificent to outsiders, but Nofice seemed to be in pain. Indeed, the healing effect of the Flame of Punishment would be stronger than that of the Flame of Hope, but there were also shortcomings compared to the Flame of Hope, which was the feeling of pain. It might be because the Flame of Punishment had attack power while the Flame of Hope had no attack power.

"Master, are you also injured?" Nofice didn't seem very impressed by the flames.

"This time, I didn't get injured by someone else, but by myself!"

"Then, master, maybe you shouldn't heal me."

"It's alright."

After a while, the bruises on Nofice's hand became very faint, but the blood stains were not completely removed. So I decided to apply some medicine on Nofice's hand first, slowly letting her heal herself. After all, there was no major problem anymore.

"Nofice!" I placed my hands on Nofice's arms and asked, "Have they ever mentioned why they have to take you away?"

Nofice rubbed her eyes, obviously not having had a proper rest for several days.

"Master, I don't know. I am being guarded by Othrie's army and Angel. How could they come and ask me?"

"Your charges might be significant."

"Mmm... I remember that old Angel said he had seen me 3,000 years ago before he died. He might know something."

"That old Angel?" The spirit of Angel that was trapped in a bottle. If that old Angel really knows something, I would choose to make him an Angel again, as it's much easier to create the body of an Angel than the spirit of an Angel.

"Yeah, he saw me 2,000 years ago and called me... the Grand Judge!"

"The Grand Judge?" This phrase deeply stimulated my brain, as if I understood something.

"Master, do you think I am amazing? The Grand Judge, deciding the fate of many Angels from my fingertips! It's quite fun, you know?"

"The Grand Judge is the one who determines whether an Angel should fall from the Divine Realm. You find it fun, but if you were a real Grand Judge, think about how many wrongful cases there would be!"

Nofice playfully stuck out her tongue. I realized that Nofice's current personality depends on me. She can achieve the calm emotions and firm determination of a Grand Judge, as well as an independent way of thinking. It is the opposite of her current self, but more similar to the expressionless version of Nofice.

"There is news that no Angel has fallen into the Abyss for the past 2,000 years in The Divine Realm. If you are the Grand Judge from 3,000 years ago, stripped of your position, with a thousand years of buffering, ending up as nothing, then it is deduced that you might have been framed and fallen into the Abyss for insisting on making Angels fall!"

"Is the framing really that sinister?"

"What else did that Angel say?"

"He said... he seemed to say that I was claiming to be innocent."

If Nofice is right, then the result is almost certain. What remains to be determined is whether Nofice is really the Grand Judge from 3,000 years ago, and what the origin of her black and white wings is. It is highly likely that the person who sealed her in the "Seven Stars" is Marutian, but the timing is off. Marutian should have only appeared in the last few decades, while Nofice was sealed inside at least a thousand years ago.

"Nofice, for now, you won't see that closed door. The door that caused you to fall into the Abyss must have left you with painful memories."

"I don't know about the memories, but yes, it was really painful. It's always so uncomfortable whenever I see it, especially here." Nofice covered her head, reminding me of the scream she made that day. When someone sees the scariest thing they can imagine, the reaction is always the same.

"Master, will they fix that door? Does Elena have the ability to fix the 'Execution Gate'?"

"It's not a problem for Elena to take some time and fix the 'Execution Gate'." Now I dread thinking about Elena. How can I help her recover? If it's just amnesia, it's one thing, but considering Marutian as me is the biggest problem.

"Qin Yang, the Third Princess is requesting your presence!" A palace servant rushed to me. I was actually curious why they couldn't just send a message through a phone or some other means instead of relying on messengers.

"I will go immediately."

"Previously, didn't the Emperor uncle intend to grant you a title? If you want it, you can become the fifth Duke of the Empire."

"Why would I want a title?" I joked. If I wanted a title, why would I give the position of the heir to Qin Ying?

"Yes, the master's status is far superior to that of the emperor."

Indeed, I have never paid my respects to the emperor when meeting him.

"Master Qin Yang," the attendant urged again.

"Sorry, I'll go now. Nofice, please inform the academy of my safety,"

Nofice nodded. A teleportation magic appeared at his feet and quickly disappeared. It is prohibited to use spatial magic in the palace, but unfortunately, this restriction does not apply to Nofice.

I stood outside Li Liu's palace and took a look at it. It was repaired quickly. It was just two weeks ago that it was damaged by a few people from Toni. Today, it is intact. Maybe it was fixed the next day, but I didn't investigate it.

"Master Qin Yang, you can enter now."

"I have to wait, do I need to wait for makeup?"

The attendant was slightly embarrassed. It seems that he guessed right. The most impatient thing for girls is waiting for makeup.
