Garfield's eyes hid boundless viciousness and hatred. During this time, he almost completely lost the most important function of a man. Finally, he was aware of Samuel's sneak attack. The scary thing was that the trauma caused by this sneak attack was difficult to heal. The people he sent to the Thunder Prison for revenge were all unexpectedly stopped by the Red Dragon Guard.
Although Garfield was the second prince, he still didn't dare to offend the Dragons of Ryūzoku too much. Moreover, the cause of this incident was his attempt to harm Veronica. It was a big scandal, so naturally, it couldn't be made public.
For a man to "lose" that ability, it was simply a monstrous shame and hatred! Therefore, not only did he want Samuel to die without a burial place, but he also wanted to drag the entire Kavagt Family down!
Archbishop Winter nodded without hesitation this time. The attitude of the church toward those who were suspected of being Black Death Apostles was very clear. They would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go!
The patriarch of the Kavagt Family, Carlo, was also among the audience. The former financial secretary was newly released from prison, and he had been silent. When he heard this, his face finally changed.
Rex The Great's eyes slowly opened, "The Kavagt Family has expelled Samuel."
With this sentence, he cleared the name of the family, and Carlo breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his son who was imprisoned on the stage, he stood up and wanted to say something, but he was pulled by the fourth prince, Luke, next to him. He finally sat down again as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
As a subject for many years, Carlo had already understood Rex The Great's intention. This was a means of balance and also a warning. As the patriarch of a family, 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 the Kavagt Family was sacrificed, it couldn't change Samuel's fate.
"Samuel," Rex The Great said the second sentence, "I want to hear your own defense."
The guards on both sides immediately released Samuel's ability to speak. Samuel was not in a hurry to defend himself, but he was silent for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, I'm not a Black Death Apostle. My weapon 'Flying Centipede' was seized by General Fageris. During this time, it may have been tampered with. As for the origin of 'Flying Centipede' and my strength … please forgive me for not explaining. "
Rex the Great raised his eyebrows slightly. At this point, Samuel still wanted to hide it — no matter whether he was a Black Death Apostle or not, no matter what force he had behind him … In short, he would rather give up power that he couldn't control. This was Rex's way of an emperor. More accurately, it was the way of an emperor.
Samuel didn't explain further. He just looked apologetically at his wife, Joanna, and Ina, who was beside Joanna.
"You have no way to defend yourself." A vicious look appeared in Garfield's eyes. "The evidence is clear, and you still say you're not a Black Death Apostle. Who would believe you?"
"I believe him!" Joanna said loudly. She no longer thought about being rude or her family. At this moment, she only wanted to be with him.
"I believe him too." Ina, who attended as Joanna's maid, did not hesitate anymore. This might be her last chance to express her feelings. Joanna looked at Ina and the two women held each other's hands tightly.
From the moment Samuel answered Rex The Great, the nobles present already knew Samuel's ending. Naturally, no one would speak.
Garfield looked at Joanna and Ina in disdain. He said, "Lord Winter, I think we can pronounce the verdict."
Lord Winter nodded. "I declare, Samuel …"
At this moment, a firm voice sounded from the back of the conference hall.
"Samuel is not a Black Death Apostle!"
Everyone was shocked. They looked back and saw a few people walking in.
The one who spoke was a man in a cloak. 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 and had a frivolous expression. The other was wearing a long white robe. It was the uniform of the Church of Light. The identity that the style of the uniform represented shocked the knowledgeable nobles.
"Who are you! How dare you trespass … "A general immediately shouted. The imperial guards stationed there were about to take action but were stopped by Rex The Great's hand gesture. This was because Rex The Great recognized the man in the Church's uniform at first glance. His expression changed slightly.
"Winter, you can pronounce the verdict. This knight is definitely not a Black Death Apostle." The man from the Church bowed slightly in the direction of Rex The Great and said.
"Lord Glalin!" Winter, the main judge, had already stood up and bowed to the man who spoke.
Glalin! One of the three Cardinal Bishops of the Church of Light!
At this moment, everyone understood the noble identity of this man. They all looked surprised. A Cardinal Bishop was the head of the Church, second only to the Pope and the Patriarch!
Even though the Archbishop of the Holy Mountain had a far higher status than the Archbishop of an ordinary empire or kingdom, in front of this Cardinal Bishop, they could only bow their heads. Winter thought that Glalin had not figured out the situation and explained, "Lord Glalin, this is Knight Samuel …"
"There's no need to say anything else. Since Sir Arthur said he's not a Black Death Apostle, then he's not one. Do you understand?" Glalin's tone became more serious. "Just like you and I are not Black Death Apostles."
When the name "Arthur" fell into Rex The Great's ears, he shook slightly and finally turned his attention to the cloaked man in front.
The meaning of Glalin's last sentence shocked Winter. He said without hesitation, "I declare that Knight Samuel is not a Black Death Apostle!"
As soon as this result was announced, all the nobles were in an uproar. Garfield did not expect such a turn of events and said angrily, "Wait a minute! The evidence of Samuel being a Black Death Apostle is already conclusive. How can you prove his innocence! "
The cloaked man pointed at Trinidad who was beside Garfield and said to the man who was still drinking, "Give me that knife."
The man who was drinking yawned and glanced lazily in Trinidad's direction. Trinidad felt a terrifying force pressing down on him and could not move at all. It was as if he was at the edge of a cliff and below him was boiling magma. In the blink of an eye, his entire body was soaked in cold sweat.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Trinidad actually collapsed to the ground with a "pop". His entire body was trembling in fear. The weapon that he had been holding in his hand had disappeared and appeared directly in the hands of the man who was drinking.
With just a glance, Gold Knight Trinidad, who was already infinitely close to the true Saint-level …
Moreover, most of the people present did not even see how the knife got into the man's hands.
Many of the generals stood up in shock. The shock in Rex The Great's eyes grew, and his fingers were already gently stroking the ring on his left middle finger.
On the other hand, no one on the cloaked man's side was too surprised, including Glalin. However, the strange thing on the cloaked man's shoulder had already appeared next to the man with the wine bottle. There was also a wine bottle in its "hand", and it started to gulp down the wine.
At this time, the mysterious cloaked man had already taken the sheathed long knife. He glanced at it and said calmly, "It's just a little bit of Dark Force, a clumsy little trick …"
As he said this, he pulled out the knife and raised it high. Just as the destructive aura spread again, the knife suddenly lit up with a dazzling light.
This light was so strong that it was like the sun. The destructive aura instantly disappeared and was replaced by a holy and warm Light Power. Everyone in the conference hall felt it.
Such a rich Light Power! Archbishop Winter's face was filled with surprise and devotion. He bowed deeply to the mysterious cloaked man.
After a while, the light gradually changed from dazzling to crystal clear. It seemed that some kind of crown had disappeared from the cloaked man's head. Then, the mysterious man bowed in the direction of Rex and walked towards the conference stage step by step.
He did not show any extraordinary power, but he had an indescribable temperament. Whether it was Garfield or Luke, they actually could not open their mouth to stop him for a while.
Samuel's eyes had been staring at the mysterious cloaked man. His eyes were trembling slightly. Even in the face of death, he had never felt this kind of emotion. In fact, from the moment the cloaked man entered the conference hall, the Golden Knight's eyes had never left him.
The cloaked man came in front of Samuel and looked at him, "Sorry, I'm late, my follower."
Samuel's eyes were a little red, and he knelt down on one knee. The people around were surprised to find that the power of imprisonment on Samuel's body had been unlocked.
"My friend, you are a loyal follower. In order to keep the promise of keeping the secret, you did not hesitate to sacrifice your life." The cloaked man slowly pressed the long sword "Flying Centipede" on Samuel's shoulder.
"Samuel. 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 would be my lifelong honor." Samuel lowered his head. Blood appeared on his wrist and condensed into a mark in the air, "I swear by my blood that I will turn into a sharp blade and cut off all thorns for the Lord."
"I grant you the honor of following me, no matter when and where." The cloaked man handed the long sword to Samuel. Samuel took it with both hands respectfully and stood up. He looked radiant as if he was a different person. His Royal Highness, in front of Rex The Great, in front of everyone, recognized his qualification as a follower.
Archbishop Winter's heart was completely relieved: The power of light possessed by this mysterious man was almost comparable to that of His Majesty Fendis. How could his follower be a Black Death Apostle?
"Who are you? How dare you! How dare you accept this Black Death Apostle suspect as a follower in front of His Majesty! "Garfield who reacted suddenly exploded.
"This is a provocation to the dignity of the entire Long Huang Empire! Guards! " The Fourth Prince Luke also shouted loudly. This was a time to perform in front of his father, he must not fall behind. The surrounding generals and nobles stood up one after another.
"All of you, shut up!" The one who spoke turned out to be Rex The Great. The supreme ruler of the Long Huang Empire slowly stood up and stared at the blurred face of the cloaked man, "Who are you?"
There was a sudden silence. The mysterious man was silent for a moment, then slowly lifted the cloak backward.
