"Your Excellency Glalin, my Devil's Snare Ship will reach the shore in about an hour. May I know what your plan is? "
"Your Excellency Arthur, may I ask, where is your destination …"
"The ship will dock at Crimson Dragon City. My destination is Yerodisha, the capital of the Long Huang Empire."
"What a coincidence. I'm going to Yerodisha as well. I wonder if Your Excellency will give me the honor of traveling with you?"
"Your Excellency is too humble." Chen Rui had already "learned" Glalin's identity and smiled.
Glalin smiled as well. "I hope that in the future, traveling with you will be my lifelong glory."
Perhaps a lifelong nightmare, Chen Rui added in his heart. He did not point out Glalin's intention of following him.
The Crown of Thorns was extremely important to the Church that had lost the Snow Tree. Originally, when Glalin was ambushed by the Black Death Apostles, he had already prepared for the worst. Even if he could survive, he would be severely punished, and his position as a cardinal would definitely be in danger.
At the critical moment, the mysterious "Arthur" suddenly appeared and the Crown of Thorns was "abducted". This should have been a mission failure, but for Glalin, this "Arthur" who had the Body of Glorious Light and made the Crown of Thorns unbelievably recognize him as its master was the biggest surprise that exceeded his expectations. Just reporting it to the higher-ups would be a great achievement. At the moment, he definitely could not let this "His Holiness the Holy Son" leave his sight. Therefore, Glalin did not hesitate to lower his status and become the follower of a certain "Holiness."
Rolla and the other two girls who had been staying in the cabin also appeared. However, under Chen Rui's suggestion, Miss Long and Inni changed their appearances and even wore veils. Although their beauty was covered, their temperament was still eye-catching.
Chen Rui learned from Glalin that there were three Saints escorting the Crown of Thorns. They were Capricorn Saint Clark, Scorpio Saint April, and Taurus Saint Kulkovich. Due to the fierce battle, Kulkovich died, and April was also seriously injured. It was all thanks to Clark that she survived.
The Radiant Knights, including Clark and April, still had a good impression of the owner recognized by the "Crown of Thorns". After all, their lives were saved by him. However, Chen Rui only had a polite conversation with them. He didn't communicate too much to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Soon, they saw land in front of them. They had arrived at the port of Crimson Dragon City.
After entering Crimson Dragon City, at the invitation of Glalin, Chen Rui and his party went to the Hall of Light of Crimson Dragon City as guests.
Strangely, the person in charge of the Hall of Light of Crimson Dragon City, Priest Guemas, was not there.
Because Yerodisha would hold a trial of a Black Death Apostle in three days. Due to the special identity of this Black Death Apostle, the second prince Garfield specially invited Archbishop Winter of the Holy Mountain of Light to be the presiding judge. Winter came to Crimson Dragon City by water. He had already set off for Yerodisha yesterday, accompanied by Priest Guemas.
What shocked Chen Rui the most was that the name of the "Black Death Apostle" who was about to be tried in the aristocratic circle was Samuel Kaint.
Three days later.
Dragon Brilliance Imperial City, Yerodisha.
The palace conference hall.
This conference hall could accommodate up to 20,000 people. It was the largest conference center of the empire. Many famous conferences that decided the fate of the empire and even the entire human world had been held here. Today, however, a trial was about to take place.
The presiding judge this time was Archbishop Winter, who was specially invited from the Holy Mountain of Light. The weight of the jury was even heavier, headed by Dragon Brilliance Emperor Rex Roland.
The "Black Death Apostle" Samuel, who was being interrogated, was imprisoned on the stage by magic shackles. He was unable to use any power and even lost the ability to speak.
Samuel was the second son of the Kaint family. Originally, this identity was nothing to the entire Long Huang Empire, especially after the patriarch and former Financial Secretary Carlo was dismissed. However, Samuel was a member of the Dragonriders, a real dragon knight, and was likely to be involved in some other secrets. Therefore, under the special suggestion of the second prince Garfield, Archbishop Winter of the Holy Mountain was invited to hold this public trial conference.
"Samuel Kaint, everyone should remember the scene when he was defeated by the capital's number one genius swordsman, Paul of the Roman Family, during the martial arts competition in front of the hall. That battle made Paul recognized by the patriarch of the Philip Family, Fret. He agreed to Paul's proposed marriage. The eldest daughter, Joanna Philip, became Paul's fiancée. And Joanna … "
The second prince Garfield raised his hand to Joanna in the audience, "She is Samuel's lover for many years. As far as I know, the two almost eloped because of this. It was Samuel who resolutely ran away in order not to let Joanna be spurned by the family. He was determined to train hard and use his strength to recapture his lover. In the end, Samuel did it. In the battle at the Royal Arena, he defeated Paul, was conferred the title of a Golden Knight by His Majesty, and became a glorious member of the Dragonriders. This sounds like a very touching and very inspirational love story. Unfortunately, no one could have imagined that Samuel did not hesitate to embark on the path of depravity for this purpose. "
Garfield showed a look of regret. Joanna couldn't help but stand up and said loudly, "Samuel did not fall! What evidence do you have! "
"Can I assume that this rudeness represents the attitude of the Philip Family on the side of the depraved?" A fierce light flashed in Garfield's eyes. He ignored Joanna and looked at her father, the patriarch of the Philip Family, Fret.
"There's no need to look, Your Highness Garfield. I have already left the Philip Family. My current identity is only that of Samuel's wife." Joanna regained some calmness after the whisper of the woman beside her. "I can apologize for my gaffe in front of His Majesty and Your Highness, but I would like to ask, Your Highness, what evidence do you have to prove that Samuel is a depraved? Samuel was conferred the title of a Dragon Knight and a Golden Knight by His Majesty himself. Not only does he represent the glory of the Dragonriders and the Golden Knights, but he also represents His Majesty's trust! "
These words carried a lot of weight, especially when she mentioned Rex The Great. If Samuel was accused of being a depraved, it would be equivalent to questioning the way Rex looked at people.
Rex The Great, who had been listening to Garfield's accusations without any reaction, moved his eyelids slightly and resumed his dozing pose, as if he was still watching the show.
"If you want real evidence …" Garfield smiled faintly. "I don't have any. It's just a speculation."
The nobles who were listening were in an uproar. Joanna hurriedly said, "Since there is no evidence, this is a blatant framing. Although I don't know what Your Highness' purpose is, if it's Samuel today, who will it be tomorrow?"
The nobles became even louder. Joanna's words were indeed very provocative. However, Garfield was very confident. When the noise gradually died down, he said, "My speculation is very simple. When Samuel lost to Paul, he was only a Master. When he fought with Paul in the Royal Coliseum for the second time, he was already a pseudo-Saint-level. That's not all. However, just a few days ago, Samuel's strength actually broke through to the real Saint-level! From the time Samuel left until now, it has not been more than ten years. From the pseudo-Saint-level to the real Saint-level, it only took him three years at most, and his strength will continue to rise rapidly! Have you ever seen such a speed of advancement? "
Everyone was shocked. Three years! From the pseudo-Saint-level to the real Saint-level!
"If Samuel is talented, why has his performance been so mediocre before this? There's no doubt that he has borrowed external forces! " Garfield asked Archbishop Venter, who was in charge of the trial, "Archbishop Venter, as far as I know, even the saints who serve the light can't have such a speed of improvement. But the Black Death Apostles … Do they have some kind of blood sacrifice ritual to increase their strength?"
"That's right." Archbishop Venter looked solemn. "Most of the senior guardians of the Black Death Apostles have experienced this ritual. However, although this Knight Samuel's speed of improvement is incredible and he is likely to be one of the Fallen, Your Highness really does not have real solid evidence to prove that he is a Black Death Apostle."
Archbishop Venter's words were impartial and everyone nodded. Garfield said unhurriedly, "If you really want to talk about physical evidence, I still have one. Knight Trinidad, please bring that thing up here."
Trinidad was a tall and thin man with brown hair. He was also the guy who broke Samuel's arms and legs in the Thunder Prison. He walked up with a sheathed long sword in his hand. The sheath was dark red and showed a faint bloody light.
"This is a new weapon Samuel obtained after he defeated Paul. It's hard to imagine that this is a powerful Legendary Weapon. Even among Legendary Weapons, it's considered a high-grade existence. Even a Saint-level powerhouse may not have this level of equipment. I'm very curious where this weapon came from. Now, please take a look at this weapon, Archbishop Venter. "
A high-grade Legendary Weapon! The nobles in the seats whispered, especially the generals and knights, they all stared at the sheathed long sword.
When the long sword approached Venter, the Archbishop sensed something. He frowned, carefully held the long sword, and slowly pulled it out.
The moment it was pulled out, black smoke came out, and a strong aura of destruction instantly filled the entire conference hall. Venter's hands glowed with a strong power of light, shining on the black smoke, making a sizzling sound. Venter's hands trembled slightly, and he couldn't suppress it.
Venter was taken aback and quickly returned the sword to the sheath. The terrifying aura suddenly disappeared. The Archbishop exclaimed, "This is the power of destruction of depravity. It's actually so powerful!"
Trinidad quickly put away the sword again. The audience seemed to be a little chaotic. Garfield immediately shouted, "There is no doubt that Samuel is a Black Death Apostle! Father, I suggest that we thoroughly investigate the entire Kavagt Family! If necessary … "
This was no longer a fight against Samuel alone, but the entire Kavagt Family!
