There was boundless viciousness 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 dark hand. What's frightening is that the trauma caused by this assassination is irreversible, and the people he sent to Thunder Prison to take revenge were unexpectedly stopped by the red dragon guard and could not succeed.
Even though Garfield was the second prince, he still didn't dare to offend the Dragon Clan of the Dragon Valley too much. Moreover, the cause of this incident was his attempt to misbehave with Veronica, which was a big scandal, so naturally it couldn't be made public.
For a man to be "being" deprived of that ability is simply a monstrous shame and hatred! So not only did he want to let Samuel die without a burial, but he also wanted to drag the entire Camplot family!
Archbishop Winter nodded without hesitation this time. The church has a very clear attitude towards those who are suspected of Black Death, and would rather kill a thousand 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 has been silent. When he heard these words, his face finally changed.
Emperor Rex's eyes slowly opened: "The Camplot family has fired Samuel."
With this sentence, the Camplot family was separated. Carlo was relieved immediately. Seeing his imprisoned son on the stage, he stood up and wanted to say something, but the fourth prince Lukla next to him After a while, he finally sat down again, as if he had aged decades in an instant.
As a courtier for many years, Carlo has already understood the intention of Emperor Rex, which is a means of balance and a kind of beating. As the patriarch of the clan, he couldn't sacrifice the entire family for this son. Judging from the current situation, with Garfield's evidence and the confirmation of the Archbishop of the Holy Mountain, even if he paid the Camplot family, he couldn't change Samuel. your fate.
"Samuel." Emperor Rex said the second sentence, "I want to hear your own defense."
The guards on both sides immediately released the restraint on Samuel's speech ability. Samuel was not in a hurry to defend, but was silent for a moment, and replied: "Your Majesty, I am not the Black Death. My weapon 'Flying' was I was captured by the head of the legion, General Fagares, during this period of time, it is entirely possible that I was tampered with. As for the origin of 'Flying' and my strength... please forgive me for not explaining."
Emperor Rex raised his eyebrows slightly. At this point, Samuel still has to hide it—whether he is a black dead or not, no matter what forces are behind him... In short, he would rather give up the power that is not under his control. It is Rex's way of the king, more precisely, the art of the king.
Samuel didn't explain any more, but just looked apologetically at his wife Joanna and Yi Na beside Joanna.
"There's no way to justify it." Garfield's eyes showed a vicious look, "The evidence is solid, and he still says that he is not a Black Death, who would believe it?"
"I trust him!" Joanna said loudly, not thinking about any faux pas or family, at this moment, she just wanted to be with him.
"I believe it too." Yi Na, who attended as Joanna's maid, didn't hesitate any longer, because this might be her last chance to express her heart. Joanna glanced at Yi Na, and the hands of the two women were tightly held together.
From the moment Samuel answered Emperor Rex, the nobles present already understood Samuel's ending, so naturally no one would speak.
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 resolute voice sounded from behind the conference hall.
"Samuel, not the Black Death!"
Everyone was taken aback, Qiqi looked back and saw several people walking in.
The one who opened the mouth was a man wearing a cloak in front of him. He couldn't see his face 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 is the costume of the Illuminati Church, and the identity represented by that style of clothing has surprised the knowledgeable nobles.
"Who are you! How dare you trespass..." A general shouted out immediately, and the guards stationed there were about to take action, but were stopped by the gesture of Emperor Rex, because Emperor Rex recognized it at a glance. Seeing the man in church attire, his face was slightly moved.
"Winter, you can pronounce the verdict. This knight is absolutely impossible to be a Black Death." The man from the church bowed slightly in the direction of Emperor Rex and said something.
"Master Gralin!" The presiding interrogator, Wen Te, 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. The cardinal is the leader of the church second only to the pope and the patriarch!
Although the Archbishop of the Holy Mountain is far higher than the Archbishop of the general empire or kingdom, in front of this cardinal, he can only bow his head. Winter thought that Graling hadn't figured out the situation, and explained: "Master Graling, this Knight Samuel..."
"I don't need to say anything superfluous. Since His Excellency Arthur said that he is not a Black Death Apostle, he is not. Do you understand?" Gralin's tone became a bit more serious. "It's like, neither you nor I are a Black Death Apostle."
The name "Arthur" fell on Emperor Rex's ears, and he was slightly shocked, before finally turning his attention to the cloaked man in front.
The meaning of Graling's last words shocked Winter, and he said without hesitation: "I declare that Knight Samuel is not the Black Death!"
As soon as the result was announced, all the nobles burst into an uproar. Garfield did not expect such a sudden turn of events, and said angrily, "Wait a minute! The evidence that Samuel is the Black Death is already conclusive, so why prove his innocence!"
The cloaked man pointed to Trinis next to 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 oppressing him, and he couldn't move at once, as if he was on the edge of a cliff with boiling magma below him. In the blink of an eye, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
Under the eyes of everyone, with a "snap", Trinis actually collapsed on the ground, trembling with a look of fear, and the Samuel's weapon he was holding in his hand was gone, and it appeared directly in front of the drinking man. hands.
Just a glance, let the golden knight Trinis who is infinitely close to the real holy level...
Moreover, most of the people present did not see clearly how the knife got into the man's hand.
Many generals stood up in embarrassment, Emperor Rex's eyes grew more startled, and his fingers gently touched the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
No one on the cloaked man's side seemed too surprised, including Gralin, but the strange thing on the cloaked man's shoulder had already appeared next to the wine bottle man, and there was an extra wine bottle in his "hand", gurgling drank up.
At this time, the mysterious cloaked man had already taken the sheathed long knife, glanced at it, and said lightly: "It's just a little dark power added, a clumsy little trick..."
As he spoke, he pulled out the knife and held it up high. Just as the destructive aura spread again, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the knife.
The light was so strong, like the sun, the aura of destruction was instantly eliminated, replaced by a sacred and warm light power, which everyone in the conference hall felt.
Such a rich power of light! Archbishop Winter, with surprise and piety intertwined on his face, bowed deeply to the mysterious man in the cloak.
After a while, the light gradually changed from dazzling to crystal clear, as if some crown disappeared from the cloaked man's head, and then he saw this mysterious man salute in Rex's direction, and walked towards the conference table step by step.
He didn't show extraordinary strength, and he carried an indescribable bearing. Neither Garfield nor Luke could stop him for a while.
Samuel kept staring at this mysterious cloaked man, his eyes trembling slightly, even in the face of death, he had never felt such emotion. In fact, from the moment the cloaked man entered the conference hall, the golden knight never left his eyes.
The cloaked man came to Samuel and stared at him: "Sorry, I'm late, I'm a follower."
Samuel's eyes were a little red, and he knelt down on one knee. The people around him were surprised to find that the restraint on Samuel's body had been released at some point.
"My friend, you are a loyal follower. To keep the promise of secrets, you will sacrifice your own life." The cloaked man slowly pressed the long knife "Feiyan" on Samuel's shoulder.
"Samuel Camplot, by the way, you seem to have been expelled from the family, so... Samuel, whether I have strength or power, are you willing to fight for my glory?"
"It's my lifelong honor." Samuel lowered his head, blood appeared on his wrist, forming a mark in the air, "I swear by my blood, I will become a sharp blade, and cut off all thorns for the Lord."
"I give you the honor of following, no matter when and where." The cloaked man handed the long knife to Samuel, and Samuel took it with both hands respectfully, stood up, looking radiant, as if he was a different person—His Royal Highness , in front of Emperor Rex, in front of everyone, recognized the qualifications of his followers.
Archbishop Winter was completely relieved: the power of light possessed by this mysterious person can only be accompanied by Vandez. How could his followers be black dead
"Who are you, how courageous! How dare you accept this black dead suspect as a follower in front of His Majesty!" Garfield, who had reacted, immediately frowned.
"This is a provocation to the dignity of the entire Longhuang Empire! Come!" The fourth prince Luke also yelled loudly. up.
"Shut up!" It turned out to be Emperor Rex who spoke, the supreme ruler of the Longhuang Empire slowly stood up, his eyes fixed on the blurred face of the cloaked man, "You, who is it?"
There was a sudden silence all around, and the mysterious man was silent for a moment, and slowly opened the cloak backwards.
