The host seemed to have a prop on his hand that could amplify the sound. It was probably a magic prop similar to a microphone, so the audience heard clearly what Linton said just now, but they didn't understand Linton's pulse yet.
They just thought this young man was quite interesting. When they heard Linton wanted to speak, they also wanted to hear what Linton had to say.
The host was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not against his principles, so he handed the props to Linton.
"Ahem..." Linton cleared his throat, held the magic microphone, and said: "Everyone, this is Linton Meroway. He comes from the Meroway family that everyone has never heard of. This is a family in the southern part of the empire.
From the perspective of the imperial capital, a small family is nothing."
The audience looked confused. Why did Linton say this?
"Our family was originally a family that had nothing to do with the world. We have always lived a peaceful life in the south. Look at me and my nephew Gasein. Do we look like bad people? Please look at the dock. This is
He's my nephew, he looks stupid, do you think he could be a conspiracy person?"
"You look so stupid!" Garsain couldn't help it in the dock.
"Look at me again. Maybe you don't know me. I am a good person. I have a dream, which is to use magic to bring smiles to everyone..."
"Can you TN stop talking nonsense and hurry up and finish the fight?" Garsain couldn't help shouting, mainly because what Linton said was completely nonsense. That kind of magic will not bring smiles at all, okay?
.
"But... a family like ours that was originally independent of the world has experienced great changes in this month." Linton suddenly changed his tone, "You may not know that after the death of my father, Baron Meloway,
My eldest brother, my second brother, and my eldest brother's two sons were all assassinated within this month. I myself was attacked two or three times by assassins. My nephew, as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital, was immediately sentenced to death.
You are still here to be tried by combat. You are all sensible people. Do you think this is a coincidence?"
"What?" The auditorium suddenly became chaotic, and people were talking a lot. Yes, everyone knew that this couldn't be a coincidence. Someone seemed to be targeting the Meloway family, and they wanted to destroy their whole family.
Garsain was also stunned for a moment. He suddenly understood what Linton was doing. He was putting pressure on them. The murderer who assassinated them has not yet surfaced. Everyone knows about Linton's trouble.
, the pressure from the public will also make the officials step up their efforts to solve the case.
"Knight Bayar, how much do you know about the matter I'm talking about?" Linton suddenly said to Bayar across from him, "You should have at least read my information. Regarding my family, do you think it is a coincidence?
?"
"I've seen it, and I think someone is indeed targeting your family." Bayar thought for a while and said.
"Then...who do you think it is?" Linton said, "The person who specially invited you here..."
"No one invited me here specifically," Bayar said.
"Really? In other words, when you were traveling, you suddenly had an idea and thought that there was someone in the imperial capital who needed to be judged, and then you came back, right?" Linton said, "Mr. Bayard, honesty is the responsibility of a knight.
One of the virtues, who invited you here?"
"You...the person who invited me here is Duke Luo Yan, but he doesn't..."
"Are you sure?" Linton asked directly, "The four lives of my family are here, and your eloquent words may set the tone for this matter. I hope you can say it fairly at this time, are you really
Do you think Duke Luo Yan who invited you here is not suspicious at all?"
"..." Bayar fell silent. Yes, he couldn't answer Linton's question because he wasn't sure.
Bayar's silence made everyone understand his answer. Therefore, the people are still easy to deceive. When he said this, everyone's attention immediately turned to Linton's side, and their family suddenly became the victim.
Yes, this is definitely a conspiracy.
Of course, Linton actually doesn't know whether Duke Luo Yan is the mastermind behind the scenes. He really wants to find the person who assassinated them. This can't be done by letting them keep doing trouble there. The accounts still need to be settled. Give him some pressure.
On the one hand, the people above helped him find the murderer. On the other hand, although Duke Luo Yan was not necessarily the mastermind, he jumped out of nowhere to cause trouble for him. Linton also took note of this. He likes dancing, right?
I'll just ask you to take the blame. If he is really not the mastermind, then he can only help find the murderer and prove his innocence, so we have more manpower.
Another point is that the direction of public opinion is that Linton is indeed helping Garçon. What he said is mainly to make Garçon a framed character after he is released from prison, rather than a criminal who has escaped punishment. Although
Trial by combat can lead to legal innocence, but there are some things that don't mean that if the law cannot convict you, you are really not a criminal. So at this moment, Linton claims to be a good person, and he is indeed very confident in what he says.
At this point, the scene was a little chaotic, and the people were talking a lot. However, at this moment, a man suddenly stood up, making the chaotic people quiet again. The man who stood up was the Emperor Wigley.
His Majesty.
"Linton Merloway." Wigley said, and his voice also spread throughout the entire venue. There should be similar magic props there, "I already know about your family's affairs. In the name of the Emperor of the Empire, I
I promise you, no matter what the outcome of this trial by combat is, I will investigate this matter clearly and give your family an explanation. No matter who the murderer is or what his identity is, he will be judged justly."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor." When the goal was reached, Linton also accepted it as soon as he could. The emperor's guarantee also made Garsain and the others safer. At this time, if anything happens to the Merrow family again, it would be a slap in the emperor's face.
, which is of course one of Linton’s purposes.
After hearing Emperor Wigley's words, the people also calmed down. They still trust the emperor very much. However, there are still changes. There are obviously fewer people shouting Bayar's name before, because of public opinion.
Favoring Linton's side, Bayal felt like he had become an accomplice of the murderer, which made everyone's favorability towards him plummet.
Bayar also felt this meaning, and felt that his visit this time was a disaster, and he really got into trouble with SAO.
"Anyway, can we start now?" The host here also waited for a long time to check the situation and finally came out and asked.
"Let's get started." Linton looked at Bayar in front of him, whose expression had changed a little. "Uncle, I think you don't look very good today. Are you sick? It wouldn't be good if you suddenly collapsed..."
"I'm not sick, let's get started." Bayar frowned and said.
"Really? Then don't fall down at the beginning." Linton said.
"Start." Bayar said directly to the host next to him.
"Then, I announce that the trial by combat... has begun!" The host nodded, then waved his hand and said.
As soon as Bayar heard the sound of "ding", he drew his sword directly, and then looked directly at Linton in front of him. However, the first thing he noticed was Linton's eyes that had turned red.
"Tsukuyomi!"
There was a "bang" sound, which was the sound of Bayar standing on one knee. Yes, under the surprised eyes of the audience, the Golden Phoenix Flower Knight Bayar had already knelt down on the ground just one second after the opening.
"What? What happened?"
"What happened to Knight Bayar? He suddenly fell down?"
The audience didn't know what happened, but of course there were a few who knew, such as Princess Yalan.
"Sure enough, I did it anyway." Princess Yalan raised her forehead again, feeling that Linton was unreliable. She was really worried about what would happen, so she told him not to use it. He really came right from the start. It was really not reliable at all.
Do you listen to what others say?
"What happened? Why did Bayal fall?" Princess Fulla next to her also asked strangely.
"I guess you are... feeling ill?" Princess Yalan said.
"No, it has something to do with that kid." Leafa next to her suddenly became serious, "Although I didn't feel any magic fluctuations, but... it was definitely done by that kid."
Princess Yalan is very anxious. Master has indeed noticed it. How can I explain this?
At this time on the court, Linton also directly spread his hands and said to the host next to him: "It's seconds. If you have anything to say, end it quickly."
"This... Lord Bayar probably hasn't..."
"Plop", before the host finished speaking, Bayal fell directly to the ground. The host looked at Linton speechlessly. He thought that Bayal and Linton said the same thing.
I was sick and weak for a while, but then I collapsed? How could I be so sick that I couldn't even see it just now?
Although I don't know what happened, it is a fact that Bayar fell to the ground now. If this is the case, then he can only act in accordance with the regulations.
"End of the competition..." The host raised his hand, but just when he was about to say the last word, there was a sudden "buzz" sound, and the atmosphere around him suddenly changed, and a huge sense of pressure came from the stage.
appeared and abruptly interrupted the host.
"Look!" At this time, the audience on the stage also exclaimed. Bayar, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly emitted a dazzling green light. This was not a simple fighting spirit, but a kind of light.
"What?" Seeing this, several people in the royal stands stood up directly. Before Bayar fell, they didn't understand what happened and didn't react. But now, they were really shocked.
"What's going on? Master?" Princess Yalan also asked strangely to Leafa who was getting up next to her.
"The Glory of the Holy Level... Bayar has been promoted to the Holy Level." Leafa said.
