The atmosphere in the tavern was silent for a moment.
"Found it." Ignoring those strange looks, Jon glanced around and easily spotted the pickpocket just now.
Pointing to a certain table, "Look, it's right there."
"Damn it!" Elizabeth puffed up her face like an angry hamster.
She cheered herself up, recalled Lord Jon's previous teachings, and forced herself to walk over.
"You!" Elizabeth, for the first time, did not use honorifics, "give the money back!"
'Kuaishou' Carter was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? I don't know you, do you care what kind of money I want?"
Catch thieves and catch stolen goods.
Anyway, the empty wallet has been thrown away long ago.
If you don't admit it, it will be over.
Elizabeth was speechless and hesitated: "You...you..."
The surrounding drinkers saw the excitement and started making noises without taking it too seriously.
"How can anyone ask for money when we meet? Girl, are you drunk?"
"What? You and Carter had an affair before?"
"Hahaha, come on, Carter is that mean-looking guy, no woman would fall in love with him."
Carter chuckled strangely and said extremely frivolously: "I say, you look quite handsome. If you call me good brother a few times, we might still be able to talk about this matter."
Hearing this, Elizabeth was almost furious.
In all her life, she has never seen such a shameless person!
Turning to look at Lord Jon.
But he found that Jon was just smiling, as if nothing happened, and had no intention of coming over.
Elizabeth quietly clenched her fists.
"I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!"
After chanting silently three times in a row, she waved her pink fist for the first time in her life.
"Hey!"
Um.
Standard gangster excitement punch.
Although Carter is not on the stage, he is still a member of the gang, so he will not be intimidated by Elizabeth.
But I saw a lustful light flashing through his inverted triangle eyes.
Turning sideways, he easily dodged Elizabeth's pink fist.
At the same time, he hugged me with big arms and took advantage without saying a word.
Sudden.
A figure flashed over quickly, right between Elizabeth and Carter.
"Two guests, please don't do anything in the store."
Elizabeth didn't want to hurt innocent people, so she hurriedly closed her fist, and was caught off guard and lost her center of gravity.
Seeing this, the visitor casually hugged her into his arms, leaving Carter with half of her arms in the air extremely embarrassed.
After a second of reaction, Shushu became angry and said: "Hey, hey, hey! You waiter, why are you meddling in other people's business!?"
The blond boy looked at Carter and said calmly: "I'm not a waiter, I'm the store manager. You can call me Melly."
He has a childish face, is short in stature, and has piercing eyes. He is wearing a white shirt and a black vest, and carries a strange-looking broken sword on his back.
"Store manager?"
Carter was a little surprised, but in an instant he stopped worrying and said angrily: "Whoever you are, if you spoil my good deeds, you deserve to die!"
He had already been drinking, but when Elizabeth provoked him, Carter's heart had already burst into evil fire.
Now that good things have been interrupted, all the fire has been directed at Meili.
Meliodas ignored the furious Shushu, looked at Elizabeth in his arms, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine." Elizabeth felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
The person in front of me is so strange, yet so familiar...
"Don't ignore me!" Carter went crazy.
He took out a dagger from somewhere and rushed towards Meliodas like a mad dog.
Elizabeth's pupils shrank and she hurriedly warned: "Be careful!"
Meliodas only stretched out two fingers, caught Carter's dagger, and said softly: "Guest, I can understand your mood, but I also have my rules. If you insist on making trouble,
It would bother me."
"Who cares about you!" Carter felt that he had lost face and became more and more crazy.
He threatened loudly: "I am a member of the Rat Gang. If you offend me, I will make sure that your shabby shop will not be able to open!"
Meliodas frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, Elizabeth in his arms struggled to get up.
Meliodas had no choice but to loosen his grip.
When Elizabeth regained her balance, she looked directly at Carter and said solemnly: "You'd better apologize to me, or you'll have a one-on-one duel with me, but I can't guarantee what will happen by then."
What?
A little girl who can't even throw a punch wants to duel with others!
People around him showed interest.
Carter, the client, felt insulted and shouted: "Okay, okay, since you bitch wants to die so much, I will make it happen for you!"
Rats will bite when they are anxious.
Of course, Elizabeth seemed to be easier to bully, so she gave Carter a chance to toughen up. If he had changed into a role that was not easy to mess with, he would have returned the money obediently...
Meliodas opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Jon, who had been standing behind silently, clapped his hands.
OK OK.
Children can be taught, children can be taught.
duel.
It has always been sacred.
Even if both parties are not knights.
The rules of dueling must also be followed.
At the entrance of the 'Pig Hat' tavern, Elizabeth and 'Kuaishou' Carter were twenty meters apart, standing opposite each other.
Carter threw away his dagger from time to time and winked at Elizabeth: "As promised in advance, the sword has no eyes. If it hurts your young face later, I will not be responsible."
Elizabeth didn't speak, but gently stroked the banjo harp that was temporarily entrusted to her for safekeeping.
There were many onlookers.
Meliodas quietly approached Jon and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Is this really okay? Aren't you and her companions? If something goes wrong, let a woman come forward?"
"Companion? Who told you, couldn't it be my wife?" Jon lowered his head, met Meliodas's eyes, and asked.
"This..." Meliodas' heart trembled inexplicably.
Wife or whatever, you don’t want that kind of thing!
Jon smiled and said: "Speaking of which, aren't you a little too partial? They are all your guests, but you care about Elizabeth very much."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Meliodas scratched his head and did not explain anything.
Some things are destined.
It's impossible to explain with words alone.
Seeing this, Jon no longer thought of teasing the other person and said: "Don't worry, I claim to be a pure lover of warriors, tauren and so on, and I never bother to do it.
Elizabeth is not my wife, but... my temporary employer. She owes me a lot of favors and a lot of money."
"This-" Meliodas relaxed for some reason.
While talking, the duel begins!
Carter had no idea of pity for her, so he held the dagger in his hand and rushed towards Elizabeth.
Twenty meters.
This distance can be said to be long or short.
Staring at the rat that was approaching her fiercely, Elizabeth's heart was beating wildly and her mind went blank.
"Move! Move quickly!"
She had a crazy warning in her heart.
The hand holding the harp twitched slightly.
"We got it!" Carter arrived three meters in front of Elizabeth in an instant.
In just one step, he could put a dagger on that chick's neck and make some 'reasonable' demands.
Meliodas, who was watching the battle, stared hard and put his hand on the hilt of the sword behind his back.
Jon's expression remained the same.
He believed Elizabeth.
More importantly, he believes in his brainwashing ability...
Ding dong——
The sound of the piano is melodious.
It seems to sound from the bottom of everyone's heart.
Elizabeth began to play in full view of everyone.
There is no chanting.
Just flick it with bare hands.
She turned a blind eye to the knife tip right in front of her and just played selflessly.
"This is it!" Meliodas noticed something, and his face instantly became solemn.
Manipulating the mind?
No.
It controls the wind element.
etc.
There is also magic to bless yourself.
A simple piece of music has three magical abilities.
That harp...
Artifact?
Meliodas looked solemnly at the people around him.
Who is this guy?
"The outcome has been decided." Jon said calmly.
Just at that moment, a pig-headed man poked his head out from the door, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened when our leader was dealing with the leftovers?"
"Hawk, don't come out!" Meliodas still grasped the hilt of the sword and spoke with great solemnity.
His intuition, tempered by countless years of fighting, told him that Elizabeth, holding the artifact harp, was not scary.
The really scary thing is this guy who never shows off his integrity.
"Why are you so excited?" Jon said angrily: "You still want to fight me with a broken sword?"
"Who are you, and what is the purpose of you and Elizabeth?" Meliodas asked in a deep voice.
"Speaking of the purpose, ah, we are looking for members of the Knights of the Seven Deadly Sins. Little brother, seeing as you look so smart, you must know some reliable information." Jon deliberately teased.
Because he was cursed by the Supreme God, Meliodas' appearance and figure were forever fixed in his teenage years. Compared with Jon, who is 1.95 meters tall, he can be said to be quite mini.
"Seven deadly sins? I've never heard of that kind of guy." Meliodas denied it.
Just ordinary people.
How could he be willing to reveal the truth so easily when facing a mysterious person whom he couldn't understand at all?
Jon deliberately scratched his eyebrows: "It's really strange. I heard others say that Meliodas of the Sin of Wrath is active nearby. Melio, do you have a pig?"
Meliodas:......
really.
I have a pig.
But, this doesn’t matter at all!
In the field, Elizabeth looked at the lifeless Carter and lowered her head slightly: "This is your choice, so you have to accept this result."
Carter was naturally unable to respond.
Although it doesn't look out of the ordinary.
But if someone with good eyesight is present, they will notice that Shushu's body is covered with traces of wind blade cuts.
In other words - he has been chopped into pieces.
The reason why it didn't fall apart is because it hasn't been affected by external forces.
After a while, maybe it only takes a gust of wind, and a complete rat will turn into pieces all over the ground.
"Everyone! Leave!" Meliodas no longer had the harmless expression on his face. He shouted loudly: "Today's bills are all free! Please go back!"
The drinkers watching the excitement were confused.
With their strength, they couldn't see through Carter's state at all.
Now they heard Meliodas driving people away again, and everyone became dissatisfied.
"What a joke! I haven't had enough!"
"That's right!"
"I paid for it..."
Jon blinked: "You have the courage, little brother, do you really want to try me?"
He smiled, and magic power suddenly erupted from his body.
Turning his head, "Let's all go, run away while you still have the strength."
"Holy...Paladin!"
There are classes within the kingdom.
The Paladin is undoubtedly the top level.
Those drinkers didn't dare to provoke them, so they stopped complaining and ran away like rabbits.
Elizabeth was puzzled and couldn't figure out why Lord Jon was tit for tat with Mr. Merry.
"Come on... come on..." At the door, a trembling pig's head encouraged Meliodas.
Meliodas drew out the broken sword and said, "You are not from the Kingdom of Lyonesse. There is no strong person like you in the Kingdom."
"Oh, I am the ultimate life form from the Tartarus Nebula, Jon Absolute Tartarus Joestar." Jon said nonsense casually.
Looking at the other party, he smiled and said: "You know, you are like a frightened bird right now...Theoretically, we don't need to fight."
Meliodas was silent for a moment, "I only believe in my own judgment."
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Jon was helpless. He had obviously suppressed all his aura, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect.
He said to Elizabeth: "This Mr. Melly has itchy hands and is eager to fight. I have no choice but to spar with him. You go and hide with the pig head over there to avoid being accidentally injured."
Although Elizabeth was full of doubts, she still obeyed and hid in the "Pig's Hat" pub.
The idle crowd has disappeared.
Jon stretched out his hand to invite: "Come."
The moment he finished speaking, Meliodas had already flashed in front of Jon with the broken sword in hand.
A single slash of the broken sword brought with it an aura that would destroy the heaven and the earth.
Jon just held up a finger.
when--
The broken blade collided with the fingertips, causing a buzzing sound of gold and iron.
Immediately afterwards, a huge force came along the hilt of the sword, causing Meliodas to burst out of his clothes.
"Full Counter!"
He gave a low drink.
However, the invincible ‘full counterattack’ actually failed this time!
"Your judgment was wrong." Jon smiled and flicked his arm, sending Meliodas flying away.
The boy's small body turned into a shooting star and quickly disappeared into the sky.
"Merry!" Piggy Hawk was anxious and ran out on his four short legs.
As a result, Jon, who has sharp eyes and quick hands, scooped it up.
"It's soft and fleshy. It feels good to the touch. It must be delicious when grilled." Mr. Qiao licked his lips deliberately.
"No!" Hawke struggled wildly.
It's a pity that a pig can't escape from Jon's clutches.
At this time, Elizabeth came over, covering her chest, and said: "Lord Jon, Mr. Melly, he..."
"It's nothing, he just misjudged my strength. He will come back later." Jon explained.
Meliodas' magical property, 'Full Counter', can reflect all offensive magic directed towards him with several times more power.
To put it simply, it comes with supreme and invincible luxury anti-armor.
But just now, Jon used pure power without any magic power, so Meliodas' "Full Counterattack" naturally didn't work.
