The candlelight flickered and the tavern was in a mess.
Meliodas came in from the outside with his pockets inserted, and said to Escanor who was lying on the ground: "It's done, I have thrown away the bodies of those bandits."
Escanor hugged the battle ax like chaff and wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but retched.
Meliodas scratched his head helplessly, "I can only hold on for a while... I have no choice but to wait for the sun to rise."
Not far away, Elizabeth's expression was a little pale, but her overall condition was pretty good.
After all, she has seen all kinds of blood and fire along the way.
I even killed bad guys with my own hands...
At this time, Meliodas came over and said, "It's very interesting, this guy."
"Ace...Master Escanor, he..." Elizabeth said worriedly.
Meliodas waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. His current state is normal."
He touched his smooth chin and said with a bad smile: "But he really is obsessed with Marlene, and the effect is better than I expected."
"Sir Meliodas, you are so bad. Lord Jon is not...not Lord Marlene's boyfriend." Elizabeth sighed: "When we meet again, Lord Escanor and Lord Jon will definitely meet
Conflict.”
"I know this too, but what does it have to do with it?" Meliodas said matter-of-factly: "Jon is stronger than me, and Escanor can't beat him."
After a pause, his eyes became somewhat meaningful: "It's just right to keep that sword..."
"Ah? Lord Meliodas, what did you say?" Elizabeth asked, not hearing clearly.
Meliodas didn't want to repeat it. He put his hands on his pillow and smiled, "Speaking of which, I'm actually looking forward to that scene. I think Ban will also be very happy."
"Ban...are you talking about the sin of "greed", Mr. Ben?" Elizabeth blinked.
Meliodas nodded: "Now that Escanor has been recovered, our next step is to go to Buster Prison and pick up Ben."
"Buster Prison... is very dangerous." Elizabeth looked worried: "I heard that only serious criminals will be imprisoned in that prison, and there are many paladins guarding it for a long time."
Meliodas disagreed.
Suddenly, Escanor, who had regained his composure, said, "Wait a minute."
Meliodas and Elizabeth turned their heads at the same time.
"Captain... I just thought about it carefully... I'd better not leave with you..." Escanor stood up staggeringly: "What about that? I still have a store to take care of..."
"Hey, hey, hey, you were so energetic just now, you need to tone it down." Meliodas was quite helpless.
But he didn't force it, he just said to Escanor: "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything, it's just that your condition is a bit bad now, so let's take a nap first and wait until you wake up.
"
Escanor opened his mouth.
But when he met Meliodas' eyes full of kindness and concern, he said nothing and silently turned around and entered the independent room at the back.
Meliodas snapped his fingers: "It's done."
Elizabeth thought thoughtfully and said: "Sir Meliodas, do you plan to... take advantage of the opportunity when Lord Escanor regains his confidence to invite him to join?"
"As expected of Elizabeth-chan, you are so smart." Meliodas yawned: "I'm tired after working hard all night. Let's go back to the Pig Hat first and come back in a few hours."
Elizabeth: "Okay, Lord Meliodas."
Time flies.
After they have rested, they return to 'Beautiful Gluttony'.
What greeted them was a tall, muscular man with a gentle face.
Holding a one-handed ax and a large golden sword sitting at the door.
"Good day, Captain." Escanor naturally raised his head and looked down at Meliodas and Elizabeth: "We can leave at any time."
"I knew you would make the right decision, Escanor." Meliodas said while giving Elizabeth a subtle wink.
Elizabeth could only apologize.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that the oppressive big man in front of you and the submissive mustached tavern owner last night were the same person?
can only say--
The human body is truly amazing.
…
…
after one day.
Buster Prison.
"Ha~"
The man with white beard and hair and scarlet eyes yawned boredly.
In this dark cell, the only pleasure was the jailers' routine torture.
"Isn't it time yet?" the man murmured to himself.
Not long after, the shirtless jailer opened the heavy iron door and walked in. He held an iron spiked whip and said with a cruel smile: "Ban, happy time has begun."
"You just came, I can't wait for a long time." Ban smiled and didn't take the other person's words to heart at all.
He possesses the power of 'immortality' and will recover even if he is seriously injured.
The reason why I stayed in this prison was simply because I was too bored and chose to imprison myself.
The jailer ignored Ben and just dipped the iron spiked whip in salt water as usual.
However, just when he was about to execute him, a paladin wearing an oblate helmet suddenly appeared at the door: "Wait a minute."
"Ah, Lord Spider." The jailer stopped immediately and saluted respectfully.
The Knights of the 'Terrible Fang' are the strongest force guarding this place. There are four members in total. Their specific names are unknown and they refer to each other by their code names.
The person in front of me is the 'spider' who can control poisonous insects.
"Today's torture has been postponed. You have nothing to do here." 'Spider' said calmly, his tone full of undoubted meaning.
The jailer did not dare to disobey the order and quickly exited the cell with a whip.
The 'Spider' looked at Ben and said with a smile: "Good news, Ben, your companions are still alive."
"Hmm?" The corner of Ban's mouth raised slightly: "Which one is it? Tell me."
"According to Sir Gilthondar, the bard Jon Joestar kidnapped the princess of the kingdom and colluded with Diane, the sin of "jealousy", and Marlene, the sin of "Gluttony", the remaining members of the 'Seven Deadly Sins' Knights.
, intending to reorganize the Knights of the Seven Deadly Sins and subvert the rule of the kingdom."
"Jon?" Ben tilted his head in confusion: "Who? I don't know him, that kind of guy."
"Whether you know each other or not, I just came here to tell you that your partner may be here in the near future. Of course, it's better for you to get rid of those thoughts that you shouldn't have. Our 'Terror Fangs' are guarding this place. It's worth it."
"Immortal." 'Spider' spoke confidently.
Ban looked at each other as if they were idiots and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, the adults of 'Terror Fang' are all extremely strong people."
Hearing this, the 'Spider' snorted coldly: "Don't be so weird, wait and see, the 'Terrible Fangs' will gradually replace the 'Seven Deadly Sins' and become the most legendary knights in the Kingdom of Leonis!"
Ban nodded: "Then, come on, come on."
"Are you looking down on me?" 'Spider' lowered his voice and released many strange poisonous insects.
Ban was not surprised but overjoyed: "Extra food? Haha! Come on, I can't wait."
The 'Spider' was not used to it and allowed those poisonous insects to crawl all over Ben's body.
As all the insects gnawed at his heart, Ban burst out laughing: "It hurts so much, it itch so much, hahaha, it feels so good!"
‘Spider’: “I don’t think you will shed tears until you see the coffin.”
Yuluo, I was thinking of using some other means.
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door: "You can't kill him like this."
"Who!" 'Spider' turned back suddenly.
With his perception, he didn't notice the footsteps behind him?
But I saw a cute-looking child lying lazily on the floating cushion, holding up one hand, and said very seriously: "Your magic is too low-level, to him it is just tickling."
The 'Spider' was a little unhappy, but did not act rashly. He just controlled the swarm of poisonous insects to target the child who appeared here strangely.
The child waved his hand: "What are you doing? I was specially invited by Gil Sanda to help. Do you want to do something to me?"
"Jelsanda...you mean that Lord King Kong?" 'Spider' asked doubtfully.
Although he is arrogant, he knows that Jiesanda's strength is unfathomable and he also holds important positions.
Never offend.
"'Spider', stop, he is one of our own." At this moment, another voice sounded.
But he saw the ‘Nightmare’ wearing an iron mask and holding an iron staff of discipline walking towards him.
With every step he takes, the bell on the staff will shake slightly.
The child twitched the corners of his mouth and said nothing.
The 'Spider' snorted and put away his poisonous insects: "In that case, let's give Lord Gilsanda some face."
"Hey, hey, hey, I said... have you forgotten me?" Ban said angrily: "No matter who it is, come and play with me!"
The child looked at Ben, with a flash of undisguised hatred in his eyes.
He looked at the 'Nightmare' and said, "As promised before, let me stay alone with this guy for a while."
"As you wish." 'Mixi' said in a buzzing voice.
After saying that, he waved to the 'Spider': "Let's go, there are some things that need to be discussed."
'Spider' glanced at the child lying on the sleeping mat, then at Ben who had a strange smile on his face, snorted coldly, and followed 'Nightmare' away.
Wait until there are only two people left in the cell.
Ban asked curiously: "Kid, who are you? Have we met before?"
"How forgetful, Ben, don't you remember me?" The child sat up and crossed his legs on the sleeping mat, "It's me, Jin."
"Jin?" Ban narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't lie to me, Jin is not like you."
He recalled for a while and described: "The guy was fat, had thick lips, and most importantly, he was very old, and he was an uncle with a strange smell all over his body."
Jin gritted his teeth: "Asshole, who has a strange smell all over his body..."
"I'm not talking about you, why are you so anxious?" Ban was still puzzled.
Jin narrowed his eyes.
No nonsense, the sleeping mat under him turned into a spear, instantly piercing Ban's chest!
"Ahem!" Ben coughed violently.
He raised his head and said with a smile: "Wow, you are very energetic, much better than those guys."
"You are enjoying using this immortal body, right?" Jin floated in the air, staring down at his 'enemy', "That's why you can waste your life unscrupulously."
"Haha." Ban smiled.
With a sudden force, he broke the iron pillars and chains on his body.
He faced the spear and walked forward step by step.
Blood flowed all over the floor.
But he seemed not to have heard of it.
finally.
The spear completely penetrated his body.
Ban waved his hands: "After so many years, I finally have some fun."
"Fun?" Jin gritted his teeth: "Is life just a kind of fun for you? You killed the goblins guarding the fountain of life just for fun!"
"Hey, who told you this?" Hearing this, Ban's expression changed for the first time.
Jin thought about it and summoned the artifact spear: "Don't expect the captain to come to save you. Before he comes, I will kill you first and cut you into pieces!"
"You are the leader of the group, do you really think of yourself as 'gold'?" Ban felt a little angry.
He clenched his fists, and the injuries on his body disappeared visibly, "Today, I will teach you a lesson."
the other side.
The trainee knight Jelica met a group of people in a small town dozens of miles away from the prison.
Two men, one woman and a pig.
A short boy, a middle-aged man so strong that his clothes burst, a beautiful girl and... a pig, this combination is not common.
She couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Huh?" Sensing the eyes of others, the strong bearded man turned his head.
Without words, a suffocating pressure descended on Jelica.
Like an abyss or an ocean!
"Hey, Escanor, why are you trying to scare people?" The young man stopped in front of the middle-aged man and clasped his palms to Jelica: "I'm sorry, my companion is not used to dealing with strangers."
"Because there is no need." The middle-aged man said casually.
Then he ignored Jelica, as if she never existed.
Jelica breathed a sigh of relief.
That bearded uncle is too scary, 10,000 times scarier than those senior knights!
"Um, are you okay?" Seeing that Jelica was in a daze, the girl asked with concern.
Jelica reacted and shook her head: "I'm fine."
"That's good." After hearing this, the girl showed a sunny smile.
Jelica was stunned for a moment.
As a woman, she had to admit that the other person's charm was greater than hers.
However, since you have chosen the way of knighthood, charm must come second to strength...
Jelica made a knight's salute: "Thank you for your concern. I was rude just now. I wish you all a happy day."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Three people plus a pig, it is Elizabeth and the others.
Meliodas scratched his head, "She's a nice girl, but she's a bit silly and bold."
"Sir Meliodas, it is very impolite to talk about others behind their backs." Elizabeth warned gently.
"That's right, it's so rude, Meliodas." Piggy followed, focusing on three views.
But Escanor didn't bother to speak at all.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning, and he was now in a state of "I'm not sorry for tearing someone apart". A mere passer-by wouldn't let him take it to heart.
"I just said it casually..." Meliodas smiled sheepishly.
Suddenly, he and Escanor looked in a certain direction at the same time.
"The magic of class."
"Kim is here too."
The two looked at each other and disappeared instantly.
Elizabeth and Piggy stayed where they were.
"Lord Meliodas, Lord Escanor!" Elizabeth spoke eagerly.
Didn't get any response.
In desperation, she could only take out her harp: "It seems something happened... Don't worry, Hawke, I will protect you."
