Arthur plans to personally meet Jon Joestar, the "legendary paladin" who is highly respected even by his idol Meliodas.
But before that, he had to take his leave and left the words that he would visit again in the future.
Elizabeth was a little worried, feeling whether this would cause trouble to Lord Jon.
But Meliodas told Elizabeth that Jon wouldn't care and might even thank him.
This is indeed the case——
When Jon returned to the royal capital, he heard that there was an 'Arthur' who wanted to challenge him, and he immediately became interested.
Meliodas: "Forgetting that, can you tell me who this woman is?"
He scratched the tip of his brow and said, "I feel like I have some impression, as if I have seen it somewhere."
"The sin of 'wrath', Meliodas!" Jelica felt like she was facing a formidable enemy.
But what he got in exchange was a gentle blow from Jon: "Be honest."
Ah this.
The relationship is a bit ambiguous.
Meliodas couldn't help but wink at Jon.
At this time, Gowther pushed up his glasses: "Let me explain briefly, this is the fallen person that Lord Jon picked up in the wild, through some transactions that are contrary to common sense..."
"Hey, wait a minute!" Jelica blushed instantly, drew her sword and pointed it at Gowther: "What kind of deal, don't talk nonsense."
Gowther's expression remained unchanged: "In short, this is the situation."
"Oh~" Meliodas gave Jon a knowing look.
Although he had heard a lot of rumors about 'Jon Joestar' in the royal capital these days, he never expected... tsk tsk, he is indeed the legendary 'young killer' and 'noble hunter'.
"I fell in love with this knight lady at first sight. The love has its ups and downs, and it will definitely...be used for the next time." Jon said casually, "Speaking of which, has our King Arthur made an appointment for a visit again?
"
Meliodas was about to answer.
At this time, Marlene's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Tomorrow at noon."
Follow the sound.
The black-clothed Archmage floated over.
"Hey, Marlene, I haven't seen you for a while." Meliodas waved his hand and asked, "What have you been busy with recently?"
"A little personal hobby is not worth mentioning." Marlene didn't say anything more. Yun Danfengqing turned the topic to Jon: "Lord Jon's style is still the same, which is gratifying."
"I always feel like you are implying something, but I have no evidence." Jon touched his nose.
Marlene smiled, turned to look at Jellica, who had a solemn expression, and said, "There is no need to be hostile to me. My relationship with Lord Jon is very pure."
She deliberately emphasized the word 'very pure', which meant that there was no silver in this place.
Sure enough, the trainee knight, who had zero experience in love and suddenly became a wife, couldn't stand it anymore, and his body exuded waves of chilling magic.
"Haha." Marlene's smile became even brighter.
Innocent child~
"Okay, don't bully Jelica anymore, she's still young." Jon couldn't stand it anymore and kindly came to the rescue of the little knight.
However, the sentence 'still young' pierced the sensitive heart of the Archmage.
Still young?
What's the meaning.
Do you think I am too old?
The corners of Marin's eyes twitched.
Of course, her previous experiences made her clearly aware of the gap between herself and Jon Joestar.
Hands on, no way.
Moving your mouth is even more incomparable.
I have to put this grudge aside for now.
With a slight snort, Marlene said: "I heard the whole story from Arthur's mouth. Can I talk to you about some things alone?"
Jon naturally had no objection.
As for everyone else…
It's useless to have opinions.
The two came to a hidden grotto through teleportation magic.
Jon looked at the surrounding environment, looked again and again at the Red Devil God embedded in the central stone pillar, and said: "Miscellaneous soldiers."
"Based on the overall strength of the Demon God Clan, this Red Demon God is indeed just a soldier, and the deeper Gray Demon God is not much more advanced. But for humans, a single Demon God Clan soldier is enough to cause a disaster.
Marlene seemed to have something to say: "Did you deliberately let the leader lose the fragments of the Ever Dark Coffin?"
"What? I don't know, I don't understand, don't ask me." Jon opened his mouth to deny Sanlian.
He touched his smooth chin and said with interest: "Although he is a miscellaneous soldier, he is not without value. I once learned skills from a gourmet named Hannibal, and he taught me many principles of life.
It doesn’t seem to be a problem to apply it to the Demon God Clan.”
Marlene:???
Is this ‘being a human being’ the ‘being a human being’ that I think it is?
It's so wild, even the Demon God Clan won't be spared.
Shaking her head, Marlene retracted her thoughts that were led astray by Jon, and then said: "As for Arthur, I hope you will be merciful to that child."
"It sounds like you are his guardian." Jon pretended to be shocked: "What is the relationship between the two of you? I noticed something unusual."
I'll pinch you, sir.
Bad smoke!
The veins on Marlene's forehead twitched slightly.
However, due to Jon's identity, she still said patiently: "Arthur is different. I saw the future through the artifact 'Star Aldan'. He is the destined king of the human race and leads mankind on this continent."
Stand firm.
And from the moment I discovered the future, I was closely connected with his destiny."
"Well, after all, you are Merlin, so it makes perfect sense to assist King Arthur." Jon expressed his understanding, and then said: "I actually know a lot of Arthurs. Some of them used Q to charge with a big sword, shouting 'The King is Unstoppable'
'Yes, there are those who stand still and fight the Holy Grail War endlessly... Well, your Arthur, I promise to train him well~"
Marlene:?
When I typed this question mark, it was not that I had a problem, but that you had a problem.
She wanted to speak but stopped, and stopped talking but wanted to.
I felt like I had prepared a lot of rhetoric, but I couldn’t continue with this topic after using less than one-tenth of it.
Jon ignored Marlene at all and looked around the Red Devil God: "A true chef has the power to turn decay into magic. I will definitely present you with a feast for all demons by taking the title of a special chef."
that.
A feast for all demons or something.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t donate.
Marlene took a step back calmly.
If she can make an academic madman like her feel intimidated, you know how ridiculous Jon's idea of taking action against the Demon Clan is.
Anyway, Marlene has made up her mind.
Whoever wants to eat the Demon-Breaking God Clan will eat it, she just wants not to taste such disgusting things!
…
…
At noon, the sun is high.
No wind.
Perfect for barbecues and brawls.
Arthur finally met the paladin whom his idol admired so much...
Although the appearance of this paladin was a little different from what he imagined.
"Hello, hello, I heard that you want to compare notes with me." Jon took the initiative to shake hands with Arthur.
Arthur said "Ah" and quickly reacted. A trace of fighting spirit flashed between his heroic brows and eyes: "Lord Jon, I heard from Lord Meliodas and Teacher Marlene that you are one of the strongest people in the world.
, I’m not very talented, so I came here to seek advice.”
"It's all thanks to my friends. With my little skills, I can just play the piano and grill skewers." Jon smiled very humbly.
Doing this made Meliodas and his party extremely amused, who didn't mind watching the fun.
Everyone is a master at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and a master at pretending to be confused.
It was easy to step into the role of Jon.
Only Elizabeth and Jelica looked worried and looked a little uncertain.
On the field, Arthur's expression was solemn: "Is Lord Jon looking down on me? Or is he doubting the vision of Lord Meliodas and Teacher Marlene?"
Jon twitched his lips, "Poor acting... Okay, don't think about irritating me and forcing me to use my true power. You're still far behind."
"Did you fail?" Arthur felt very regretful and lowered his head and said, "Then, please enlighten me."
"Come on, you can attack at any time." Jon hooked his hand.
When Arthur saw it, he drew his sword and faced it with awe.
But he was very calm and asked: "Where are your weapons?"
"Weapons? You don't need that kind of thing." Jon said naturally.
Seeing that Arthur's face looked a little ugly, he pulled off the bird feathers used for decoration on his chest: "If you insist on asking, I will use this."
"You look down on me so much."
Arthur frowned slightly, having full confidence in himself.
to be honest.
He, who shoulders the destiny of mankind, is like the destined protagonist in Shuangwen novels.
When he was a child, he survived a disaster and was rescued by the king of a neighboring country.
When he was a child, the great mage descended from the sky was his teacher, silently guarding him and imparting knowledge.
Later, it was recognized by the human race's holy sword - Excalibur.
If it had been someone else, it might have drifted somewhere.
But Arthur always maintained a humble attitude.
even so.
Want to fight with your own sword using only a feather?
Arthur was still a little angry.
"Ah, that..." Elizabeth stared at the decorative feathers in Jon's hand and couldn't help but fall into memories.
That was the result of her being deceived, which indirectly led to the first absolute birth in her life.
Jon's expression remained unchanged: "Don't underestimate this feather. A true master always has the heart of an apprentice. When your realm is sufficient, it doesn't matter whether you have a sword or not. Don't you think there is no sword in your hand?"
"If you have a sword in your heart, you can pluck leaves and flying flowers, and all the sun, moon, mountains and rivers can be turned into swords."
I don’t know where these words came from. Anyway, when they came into the mouth of someone like me, Qiao, there was no doubt that my surname was Qiao.
Arthur was stunned for a moment after being fooled, and he was completely motionless, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment.
Don't talk about this young man.
Even old monsters like Meliodas, who have lived for who knows how many years, look thoughtful.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
After a long time, Arthur withdrew from that strange state, exhaling deeply the turbid air in his chest, and his eyes seemed clearer than before.
"Thank you, Sir Jon, for your advice, Arthur will never forget it."
Jon nodded pretendingly, pretending to be an expert without saying anything.
"I said...Jon...ahem, did Lord Jon say something remarkable?"
There are always a few illiterate people in the crowd.
Jelica and Diane, who didn't go to school much, are one of them.
Marin reluctantly raised a finger to her mouth, signaling the two of them to be silent.
At this moment, Arthur readied his sword and said, "Be careful, I'm about to attack."
However, what responded to him was Jon flashing behind him and making an unreasonable sneak attack with his knife.
Arthur felt the magic power fluctuation behind him and subconsciously raised his sword to block it.
Unexpectedly, this attack was just a feint.
Jon came to Arthur like a ghost and shot the end of a feather into the young king's golden armor.
boom--
The armor shattered.
The gold pieces fell to the ground.
Arthur refused to admit defeat.
To be honest, he knew that his strength was not up to the level of the first echelon of "Legendary", but he never expected that he would be beaten so badly, and that he had no power to fight back in front of Jon Joestar.
Pride, dignity and persistence allowed Arthur to show strength far beyond his usual strength.
The chaotic magic is sweeping across like a tsunami!
Jon is as stable as a rock, and he did not forget to comment: "There is a lot of mana, but it is too chaotic, and it is not a big threat if I can't use my skills."
What he said was meaningless, but Arthur understood it and said with regret: "The nature of my magic power is still unknown, which makes Lord Jon laugh."
"It doesn't matter." Jon retracted his feathers with his hand: "There is also a way to be strong and weak. If you can crush your opponent to death with magic power, who will care about the nature of your magic power."
Eh?
This is quite reasonable.
Arthur unknowingly solved a knot in his heart.
Marin, who was watching the battle, covered her forehead and thought to herself: "Good apprentice, don't listen to his nonsense. I am a skilled man and I cannot breed a reckless man who doesn't know any moves!"
The battle continues——
Arthur relied on violent magic to attack crazily.
But every sword he swung was blocked by Jon with his feathers, as if it was not a decoration but a deeply hidden magic weapon.
"This is the Holy Knight that even Lord Meliodas highly respects!" The excited light in Arthur's eyes condensed into flames, waiting for another three hundred rounds of battle.
Jon suddenly pushed his hand: "Wait, we can't fight anymore."
Arthur's body moved forward suddenly.
"I made barbecue, but it was burnt when I grilled it." Jon said very seriously, inserting the feathers into his chest again.
Grill...meat?
Arthur didn't react for a moment.
I thought it was some code word.
Jon chuckled and said, "You're lucky enough. Today's ingredients are very rare and troublesome to handle. If it weren't for my whim, you would never be able to eat such good meat in your life."
Arthur:???
Now is not the time to discuss barbecue.
Jon didn't care so much and went on his own.
Marin, who knew everything, immediately wanted to drag her disciples away, but when this idea came to her mind, her whole body seemed to be trapped, unable to move even while standing there.
Meliodas and the others were looking forward to it.
It’s been a long time since I tasted Jon’s food, so I’m going to have a good time this time!
After a while, Jon came back holding a plate dozens of times larger than his body.
Topped with flavored meats.
The various colors and flavors are exciting.
"Okay, it's time to eat meat!" Meliodas cheered, eagerly grabbing a steak and chewing it.
After taking a bite, he noticed something was wrong, "This meat..."
"After treatment, it will be of great benefit to the body." Jon said calmly.
Hearing this, Meliodas took a big sip, as if this method was not enough to satisfy his hatred.
"Then I'll eat more."
…

In the dim space, the last puzzle piece was put into the stone trough.
