There was boundless malice and hatred hidden in Garfield's eyes. During this period of time, he almost completely lost the most important function of a man, and finally became aware of Samuel's original secret hand. The terrible thing is that the conspiracy caused by this conspiracy
The wound was difficult to heal, and the people he sent to the Thunder Prison for revenge were unexpectedly blocked by the red dragon guard and were unable to succeed.
Although Garfield is the second prince, he still dare not offend the dragon clan of Dragon Nest too much. Moreover, the cause of this incident was his attempt to cheat on Veronica. It is a huge scandal and naturally cannot be made public.
For a man to be "lost" of that ability is simply a huge shame and hatred! So not only does he want Samuel to die without a burial place, but he also wants to drag the entire Camplot family with him!
Archbishop Winter nodded without hesitation this time. The church's attitude towards people suspected of being Black Death followers is very clear. It would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!
Carlo, the patriarch of the Camplot family, was also in the audience. The former financial secretary was newly released from prison and had been silent. When he heard these words, his expression finally changed.
Emperor Rex slowly opened his eyes: "The Camplot family has fired Samuel."
This sentence separated the Camplot family. Carlo breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his imprisoned son on the stage, he stood up and wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the fourth prince Luc beside him.
After a while, he finally sat down again, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
As a courtier for many years, Carlo has understood the intention of Emperor Rex. This is a balancing method and a knock. As the leader of a clan, he cannot sacrifice the entire family for this son. Judging from the current situation
.With Garfield’s evidence and the confirmation of the Archbishop of Holy Mountain, Samuel’s fate cannot be changed even if he loses the Camplot family.
"Samuel." Emperor Rex said the second sentence, "I want to hear your own defense."
The guards on both sides immediately released the restrictions on Samuel's speech ability. Samuel did not rush to defend himself, but remained silent for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, I am not a Black Death. My weapon 'Flying Annihilation' was used at that time.
It was captured by the commander of the army, General Fagreis. During this period, it is entirely possible that someone has manipulated it. As for the origin of 'Flying Annihilation' and my strength... please forgive me for the inconvenience of explaining."
Emperor Rex raised his eyebrows slightly. At this point, Samuel actually wanted to hide it - no matter whether he was a Black Death or not, no matter what force was behind him... In short, he would rather give up the power that he did not control.
, this is Rex’s way of the emperor, or more accurately, the art of the emperor.
Samuel did not explain any more, but just glanced apologetically at his wife Joanna and Ina beside Joanna.
"There's no way to explain it." A vicious look appeared in Garfield's eyes, "The evidence is conclusive. He actually said that he is not a Black Death. Who would believe it?"
"I believe him!" Joanna said loudly, without thinking about any rudeness or family. At this moment, she just wanted to be with him.
"I believe it too." Ina, who was attending as Joanna's maid, did not hesitate anymore, because this might be her last chance to express her feelings. Joanna glanced at Ina, and the two women held their hands tightly together.
.
From the moment Samuel answered Emperor Rex, the nobles present already understood Samuel's ending. Naturally, no one spoke.
Garfield looked at Joanna and Ina with disdain and said, "Master Winter. I think the sentence can be pronounced."
Archbishop Winter nodded: "I declare, Samuel..."
At this moment, a determined voice sounded from behind the conference hall.
"Samuel, not a Black Death!"
Everyone was startled and looked behind them, and saw several people walking in.
The person who spoke was a man in a cloak in front of him. His face could not be seen clearly. There was a strange creature on his shoulder. There were two men beside him. One was holding a wine bottle with a frivolous expression, and the other was wearing a white robe.
It was the clothing of the Church of Light, and the status represented by that clothing style made the knowledgeable nobles look surprised.
"Who are you! How dare you trespass..." A general immediately shouted out. The guard stationed there was about to take action, but was stopped by Emperor Rex's gesture, because Emperor Rex recognized it at a glance.
The man in church clothes emerged, with a slightly moved expression on his face.
"Winter, you can pronounce the verdict. This knight cannot be a Black Death." The man from the church bowed slightly in the direction of Emperor Rex and said.
"Lord Gralin!" Winter, who was presiding over the trial, had already stood up and saluted the man who spoke.
Gralin! One of the three cardinals of the Church of Light!
Now everyone understood the lofty status of this man, and they all showed surprised expressions. A cardinal is the head of the church after the pope and patriarch!
Although the Archbishop of the Holy Mountain has a much higher status than the archbishops of ordinary empires or kingdoms, he can only bow before this cardinal. Winter thought that Gralin had not figured out the situation yet, so he explained: "Lord Gralin, this is
A Samuel knight..."
"There is no need to say anything unnecessary. Since Sir Arthur said that he is not a Black Death, he is not, understand." Gralin's tone became a little more serious, "It's like, neither you nor I are a Black Death."
The name "Arthur" fell on Emperor Rex's ears. He was slightly shocked and finally turned his attention to the cloaked man at the front.
The meaning of Gralin's last words shocked Winter, and he said without hesitation: "I declare that Knight Samuel is not a Black Death!"
As soon as this result was announced, all the nobles were shocked. Garfield did not expect such a turning point and said angrily: "Wait a minute! The evidence that Samuel is a Black Death is already conclusive, how can we prove his innocence!"
The cloaked man pointed at Trinis beside Garfield and said to the man who was still drinking: "Give me that knife."
The drinking man yawned and glanced lazily in the direction of Trinis. Trinis felt a terrible force pressing down on him, and he was immediately unable to move, as if he was on the edge of a cliff, with boiling magma below.
, in the blink of an eye, the whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
In front of everyone, with a "pop", Trinis collapsed to the ground, trembling with a look of fear. The Samuel's weapon he originally held in his hand had disappeared, and appeared directly in front of the drinking man.
in hands.
Just one glance made the golden knight Trinis, who was already infinitely close to the true holy level...
Moreover, most of the people present did not see clearly how the knife got into the man's hands.
Many generals stood up with emotion. Emperor Rex's eyes became more and more frightened, and his fingers had gently touched the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
No one on the cloaked man's side looked too surprised, including Gralin, but the strange thing on the cloaked man's shoulder had appeared next to the bottle man, and there was actually an extra wine bottle in his "hand". Gulu Gulu
He drank.
At this time, the mysterious cloaked man had already taken the long sheathed sword, glanced at it, and said lightly: "It's just a little bit of dark power added to it. It's a clumsy little trick..."
As he spoke, he pulled out the knife and raised it high. Just when the aura of destruction spread again, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the knife.
This light was so intense, like the sun, that the aura of destruction was instantly eliminated, replaced by a sacred and warm light force. Everyone in the entire conference hall felt it.
Such a rich power of light! Archbishop Winter's face was filled with surprise and piety, and he bowed deeply to the mysterious cloaked man.
For a moment, the light gradually changed from dazzling to crystal clear, and it seemed that some kind of crown disappeared on the cloaked man's head. Then he saw this mysterious man saluting in the direction of Rex and walking towards the conference stage step by step.
He didn't show any extraordinary strength. He had an indescribable magnanimity about him, and neither Garfield nor Luke could stop him for a moment.
Samuel's gaze has been fixed on this mysterious cloaked man, his eyes trembling slightly. Even when facing death, he has never had such an emotion. In fact, from the moment the cloaked man entered this conference hall, the golden knight's
His eyes never left her again.
The cloaked man came to Samuel and stared at him: "Sorry, I'm late, I follow you."
Samuel's eyes turned red, and he knelt down on one knee. The people around him were surprised to find that the power of imprisonment on Samuel had been released at some point.
"My friend, you are a loyal follower who is willing to sacrifice his own life for the promise of keeping the secret." The cloaked man slowly pressed the long knife "Fei Yan" on Samuel's shoulder.
"Samuel Camplot, by the way, you seem to have been expelled from the family. So...Samuel, no matter whether I have strength or power, are you willing to fight for my glory?"
"It is my lifelong honor." Samuel lowered his head, and blood appeared on his wrist, forming a mark in the air. "I swear on my blood that I will transform into a sharp blade and cut off all thorns for the Lord."
"I grant you the honor of following you wherever and whenever you want." The cloaked man handed the long knife to Samuel. Samuel took it with both hands respectfully and stood up, looking radiant, as if he was a different person——
Your Highness, in front of Emperor Rex and in front of everyone, recognized the qualifications of his followers.
Archbishop Winter was completely relieved: The power of light possessed by this mysterious man could only be matched by His Majesty Vandis. How could his followers be Black Death followers?
"Who are you? How brave are you! How dare you accept this Black Death suspect as a follower in front of His Majesty!" Garfield was furious when he reacted.
"This is a provocation to the dignity of the entire Longhuang Empire! Come on!" The fourth prince Luke also shouted loudly. This was a performance in front of his father. He must not fall behind others. The surrounding generals and nobles stood up one after another.
Got up.
"Shut up!" The person who spoke turned out to be Emperor Rex. The supreme ruler of the Longhuang Empire slowly stood up and stared closely at the blurred face of the cloaked man, "You,
Who is it?"
There was silence all around, and the mysterious man remained silent for a moment before slowly opening his cloak backwards.
