Pope Martin Louis succeeded to the throne and built the Pelada Empire into a religious power. The empire lost the blessing of angels, but the champion knights flourished. In addition, the patriarch James Tarris successfully advanced to a fourth-level senior level rare in the history of the empire. After gaining strength in battle, the Taris family became the second family in the empire, and James himself was even dubbed the "Imperial God of War" by those who do good things.
On the other hand, the Pandagon family, due to the attrition of the First World War, more than half of the elite members of the family were injured. The life and death of the previous patriarch Uther was unknown after the Death Sky broke out, and the family artifact was also lost. It was under such circumstances that Arthur took over the position of patriarch. With his ability, at a time of internal and external troubles and life and death, he constantly competed with the other two families, and finally preserved the Pandagon family's position as the third seat in the empire.
It can be said that without Arthur's unremitting efforts, the Pandagon family might have been ruthlessly crushed and eliminated by the wheels of history. From losing power to being forgotten, they continued to decline, and finally became country villagers.
Because of this, Arthur was so happy when he heard the news that the leader of the Talis clan, James Talis, who was a generation older than him, suffered a loss at the hands of George.
As for the foreseeable civil strife in the empire, although Arthur was a little worried, it would not make him confused.
The arrival of Michael, the rebellion of the God of War, the fall of the Pope, the destruction of the Heretic Trial Temple, and the Imperial Capital became the center of it all, like a whirlpool, bringing all the conspiracies together, all it takes is a small spark , the war may break out.
In this case, if we only consider it from a strategic level, the fisherman will benefit from the fight between the snipe and the clam, and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is the most beneficial strategy for the Pandagon family. However, Arthur will never let the war spread. It is his long-cherished wish to maintain the hard-won peace for the people of the empire!
Just as Arthur was contemplating future tactics and strategies in his mind, George's somewhat deep voice came over.
"Arthur, although you don't accept this magic contract, I have always wanted to formally apologize to you regarding Lova. You are right. If it weren't for me, Lova would not have died. This is my seed. The wrong reasons lead to such evil consequences, but after seeing the ugliness of the Heretic Trial Temple, I... I can no longer believe in the so-called fairness and justice given to me by others, so whether it is trial or execution, no matter what , I hope I can make up for the mistakes I made!"
"Really... Since this is your request, then I will follow your words and give you the trial you want now!"
Arthur waved, and a one-handed long sword filled with huge light magic automatically flew into his hand. It was the family artifact that he pulled out from the stone in the space where Michael was trapped and recognized its owner - the Sword of the Gods.
At least, in the eyes of Arthur and others, this sword is the sword of the gods.
Arthur held the Sword of the Gods in his hand and placed the tip of the sword on George's shoulder. Although Arthur had no tendency to attack, the huge light magic power of the sword gave George a sense of oppression, causing him to kneel down on one knee unconsciously.
"I, the current patriarch of the Pandagon family, Arthur Pandagon, under the witness of the gods, in accordance with the laws of the Pelada Empire, sentence George Lucifer as follows - George Lucifer, not guilty!"
When Arthur finished speaking the last two words, George suddenly raised his head and looked at him. There was excitement and suspicion in his eyes, but more of it was confusion.
"Hey... George, George, if you were a heinous thug, I would have cut you into pieces, but you are not... You have proven with your actions countless times that you are sincere to my daughter. In love.”
"To be honest, Lova's unexpected death really made me feel sad and angry. But as an unfit father, who am I to judge you, and who am I to take away the life of the person my daughter loves? "
"I really lost to Alvin. Didn't he know he was right from the beginning and I couldn't make a move? Those damn pointed ears!"
Arthur's words kept echoing in George's mind. He just felt his nose was sore, and long-lost tears streaked down his face. Lova's death has always made George blame him. He has always taken all the responsibility on himself. Therefore, he ignored the objections of Elven King Alvin and followed Arthur back to the country as the guilty person. Parada Empire and await the coming of justice.
But in the end, what George really wanted deep down in his heart was just the forgiveness and recognition of Lova's parents.
But in the end, what George really wanted deep down in his heart was just the forgiveness and recognition of Lova's parents.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Suddenly, a figure stepped out of the void while clapping. It was an old man with a kind face and a very friendly look at first glance. The spots on his face and the deep nasolabial wrinkles were like the annual rings of ancient trees, recording the ups and downs this old man had experienced in his life. Rain or shine.
However, the gold-encrusted papal robes and the towering papal hat on his head made all the muscles in George's body tense up.
"You really let me watch a good show, General Arthur!" The old man's voice reached George's ears clearly. Although his voice was as warm as the genial sunshine in spring, it made George's hair crawl. At first, he unconsciously took a few steps back.
This terrifying affinity is due to the interference effect produced by the other party's too strong mental power. In other words, as long as it is willing, this mental power will interfere with all of George's actions and even thoughts!
This old man is very strong!
