"Your Excellency Gralin, my Datura will dock in about an hour. I wonder what your plans are?"
"Your Excellency Arthur, may I ask, your destination is..."
"The ship is docking at Chilong City, and my destination is Yerodisha, the capital of the Dragonhuang Empire."
"It's such a coincidence that I'm going to Yerodisha too. I wonder if Your Excellency will give me the honor to go with you?"
"Your Excellency the Cardinal is too humble." Chen Rui had already "learned" Gralin's identity and smiled.
Gralin also smiled: "I hope that in future memories, this trip will become the honor of my life."
Maybe it's a lifelong nightmare, Chen Rui added in his heart, and didn't point out Gralin's attempt to follow him.
The importance of the crown of thorns to the church that lost the Shedalay tree is self-evident. Originally, Gralin was ambushed by the black dead, and he had already prepared for the worst. Even if he survived, he would be severely punished , the position of the cardinal is definitely not guaranteed.
At a critical moment, the mysterious man "Arthur" suddenly appeared, and the crown of thorns was "abducted". "Arthur" was the biggest surprise beyond expectations. Just reporting it was a great achievement. Right now, this "His Majesty" must not be out of sight, so Gralin did not hesitate to put down his figure and became a follower of a certain "His Majesty".
The three daughters of Lola, who had been staying in the cabin all the time, also appeared. However, under Chen Rui's suggestion, the fairies Miss Long and Miss Yi Ni changed their appearance and put on veils. Although their beauty was concealed a lot, but That aura is still compelling.
Chen Rui learned from Gralin that there were three saints escorting the Crown of Thorns, namely Capricorn Saint Clark, Scorpio Saint April, and Taurus Saint Kurvich. Qi died, and April was also seriously injured, and Clark was the only one who survived.
The Glory Knights, including Clark and April, still have a good impression of the master recognized by the "Crown of Thorns". After all, his life was saved by others, but Chen Rui just talked to them politely Let's stop talking, and don't communicate too much, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Soon, land was seen ahead, and the port of Red Dragon City arrived.
After entering Red Dragon City, at the invitation of Gralin, Chen Rui and his party went to the Palace of Light in Red Dragon City as guests.
Strangely, Pastor Gemas, the person in charge of the Temple of Light in Red Dragon City, was not there.
Because Yerodisha will hold a trial meeting of a black dead man in three days, and because of the special status of this black dead man, the second prince Garfield specially invited Archbishop Winter of the Holy Mountain of Light as the presiding judge. Tezheng came to Red Dragon City from the waterway, accompanied by Pastor Gemas, and set off for Yerodisha yesterday.
What shocked Chen Rui the most was that the name of the "Black Death" who was about to be tried in the aristocratic circle was Samuel. Camplot.
three days later.
The imperial capital of Longhuang, Yerodisha.
Palace meeting hall.
This conference hall can accommodate up to 20,000 people, and it is the largest conference center in the empire. Many famous conferences that determine the fate of the empire and the entire human world have been held here. But today, what ushered in here was a trial meeting.
The presiding judge this time is Archbishop Winter, who was specially invited from the Holy Mountain of Light, and the weight of the jury is even heavier, headed by Emperor Longhuang Rex. Roland.
The "Black Dead" Samuel who was being interrogated was being imprisoned on the stage by magic shackles, unable to use any power, and even lost the ability to speak.
Samuel is the second son of the Camplot family. Originally, this identity was nothing to the entire Longhuang Empire, especially after the patriarch and former Financial Secretary Carlo was dismissed. But Samuel is a member of the Dragon Knight Legion, a real dragon knight, and is likely to involve some other secrets, so at the special suggestion of the second prince Garfield, he invited Archbishop Winter of the Holy Mountain , A special public trial meeting was held.
"Samuel Camplot, everyone should remember that when he was fighting in front of the palace, he was defeated by the first genius swordsman Paul of the Roman family in the imperial capital. In that battle, Paul got the patriarch of the Philip family, Fred Thanks to the appreciation of Paul, he agreed to the marriage contract proposed by Paul, and the eldest daughter Joanna. Philip became Paul's fiancée. And Joanna... "
The second prince Garfield raised his hand to Joanna in the audience: "It is the lover who has been in love with Samuel for many years. As far as I know, the two almost eloped because of this. Anna was spurned by her family, so she left resolutely, determined to practice hard, and use her strength to win back her lover. In the end, Samuel did it. In the battle of the Royal Arena, he defeated Paul, was canonized by His Majesty as a Golden Knight, and became a Dragon Knight. A glorious member of the Legion. This sounds like a very touching and inspirational love story. Unfortunately, no one would have imagined that Samuel would go down the path of depravity for this purpose."
Garfield showed regret, and Joanna couldn't hold back, she stood up and said loudly, "Samuel didn't fall! What evidence do you have!"
"Can I think that this kind of rudeness represents the attitude of the Philip family on the side of the fallen?" Garfield's eyes flashed fiercely, he ignored Joanna, and looked at her father, the patriarch of the Philip family Fred.
"Don't worry about it, Your Highness Garfield, I have left the Philip family, and my current identity is only Samuel's wife." Joanna regained her composure when the woman beside her reminded her softly, "I can help you just now. I apologize for the gaffe in front of Your Majesty and His Majesty, but I would like to ask, what evidence does Your Majesty have to prove that Samuel is a fallen person? Samuel is the Dragon Knight and Golden Knight bestowed by His Majesty himself, not only representing the Dragon Knight Legion And the glory of the Golden Knight represents His Majesty's trust!"
These few words carry a lot of weight, especially when the Emperor Rex is brought up. If Samuel is declared as a fallen person, it is equivalent to questioning Rex's eyes on people.
Emperor Rex, who had been only listening to Garfield's accusation without any reaction, moved his eyelids slightly, and resumed his doze, still looking like he was watching a show.
"You want real evidence..." Garfield smiled lightly, "I don't have any, it's just a speculation."
The nobles who were watching were in an uproar, and Joanna hurriedly said: "Since there is no evidence, this is a blatant frame. Although I don't know what the purpose of His Highness is, but today is Samuel, and who will it be tomorrow?"
The noisy voices of the nobles became louder, and Joanna's words were indeed very provocative. Garfield was confident, and when his voice gradually died down, he opened his mouth and said: "My guess is very simple. When Samuel lost to Paul, he was at the division level. In the second duel with Paul in the Royal Arena, It is already a false saint level, which is fine, but just a few days ago, Samuel's strength broke through to the real saint level! It has not been more than ten years since Samuel left that year, and since he just entered It only took up to three years from the false saint level to the real holy level, and his strength will continue to climb forward rapidly! Have you ever seen such a promotion speed?"
Everyone was surprised, three years! From beginners to false saints to true saints!
"If Samuel is said to be very talented, why has he been mediocre before that? There is no doubt that he has borrowed external force!" Garfield asked Archbishop Winter, who was presiding over the trial: "Master Winter, according to As far as I know, even the saints who serve the light cannot have such a growth rate, but the black dead...have some kind of blood sacrifice ceremony that increases their strength?"
"That's right," Archbishop Winter showed a dignified expression, "Most of the senior guardians of the Black Death have experienced this kind of ritual, but even though this Knight Samuel has made incredible progress, he is probably a member of the Fallen. But His Highness does not have real and conclusive evidence that he is the Black Death."
Archbishop Winter's words were impartial, causing everyone to nod their heads. Garfield said unhurriedly: "If you really want to talk about physical evidence, I still have one, Trinis Knight, please bring that thing up." .”
Trinis is a tall and thin brown-haired man, who was also the guy who broke Samuel's hands and feet in Thunder Prison. He came up with a long knife with a sheath in his hand. There was a faint glow of blood.
"This is a new weapon that Samuel got after defeating Paul. It is unimaginable that this is actually a powerful legendary weapon. Even among legendary weapons, it can be regarded as a top-grade weapon. Even if it is a holy-level weapon None of them may have this level of equipment. I am very curious about where this weapon came from, and now, I would like to ask Mr. Winter to take a look at this weapon."
High-grade legendary weapons! The nobles sitting on the seats whispered one after another, especially the generals and knights, all staring at the sheathed sword.
When the long knife approached Wen Te, the archbishop sensed something, frowned, carefully held the long knife, and slowly pulled it out.
The moment it was pulled out, black smoke burst out, and a strong aura of destruction instantly filled the entire conference hall. Wen Te's hands glowed with strong light power, shining on the black smoke, making a "sizzling" sound, Wen Te's hands trembled slightly, but he couldn't suppress it.
Wen Te was taken aback, and quickly put the knife back into its sheath, the terrifying aura disappeared immediately, and the archbishop exclaimed: "This is the power of destruction of the fallen, it's so powerful!"
Trinis quickly put away the knife again, and the audience seemed a little confused, Garfield immediately shouted: "There is no doubt that Samuel is the Black Death! Father, I suggest that the entire Camplot family be thoroughly investigated! If necessary...”
This is no longer a fight against Samuel personally, but the entire Camplot family!
