Because he felt that even without the Demon King's commandments, he was enough to deal with all troubles!
——He is so confident during the day.
But at night.
Escanor regretted wearing the thick-soled glasses.
"Idiot, why should I refuse!"
Escanor grabbed his hair in annoyance and couldn't help but murmured: "If you can absorb those special powers, you can better protect Miss Marlene."
The sheep were really sad when they heard it, and the little black tiger was in tears.
All I think about is the goddess.
I can only say that the purity of Escanor is high...
But things are already like this, and there is no use regretting anymore.
As for lowering his face and asking for another chance, Escanor never even thought about it.
"No problem. If you miss it, just miss it. I can protect Marlene by relying on my own strength."
There was no other way, Escanor had no choice but to comfort himself in his heart.
At this moment, Diane came to ask him to eat: "Escanor, Escanor, Lord Jon has made a lot of delicious food, and it's just waiting for you to eat."
"Got it." Escanor responded softly, holding his glasses and walking out of the room.
Return to the lobby.
But I saw a table with all kinds of dishes.
Jon, wearing a chef's hat, explained while serving the dishes: "Marlene needs to do some experiments on goblins and giants, and won't be back for a short time. In order to fill her shortage, I haven't left recently."
"Okay~"
"Wuhu~"
“Awesome~”
The two women and the pig immediately cheered.
Only Escanor was a little disappointed.
It's not that Jon's food isn't delicious.
But...
never mind.
Now that things have come to this, what else is there to say?
Escanor sighed softly in his heart, sat down silently, and began to eat like a transparent boy.
As expected of a famous chef who can make flowers from the Demon Clan, all kinds of flavors bloom on the tip of the tongue, diluting the sadness in Escanor's heart.
"Eat more and see if you lose weight."
For some reason, Jon deliberately gave Escanor more care during the dinner.
Such behavior left Escanor at a loss.
He stood up, thanked and declined politely.
Jon didn't say anything, he just forcefully pushed the food to him.
Such obvious favoritism made Diane feel jealous.
Piggy and Elizabeth also cast envious glances at Escanor.
There were some ripples in Escanor's heart...
This feels pretty good?
The next few days.
This care is becoming more and more deliberate.
It's fine when the sun rises.
Escanor, a proud man, doesn't need special treatment from anyone.
But the sun sets.
The skinny little Escanor could clearly feel that Jon Joestar was releasing his own kindness.
"Why?" Escanor asked himself.
He couldn't understand.
What is it about you that is worthy of the other person’s ‘investment’?
strength?
He is as strong as Captain Meliodas.
Knowledge?
Uh, even more impossible.
Here comes the problem...
What are you trying to do with me?
With such doubts, Escanor found Jon in the kitchen one night, spent a long time talking about it, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Why? Because you lack love, so I am conducting 'desensitization' training on you."
Jon said naturally: "Although you have never said it, everyone with a personality defect has an incomplete childhood. Escanor, because of your overly powerful power, you are treated differently by your family."
Let’s get through it.”
It takes a lifetime to dispel the shadow of childhood.
The topic got so intense that Escanor couldn't continue the conversation.
Bitter.
It was very hard for him when he was a child.
As the second prince of the Tarim Kingdom, even if he does not receive the love of his parents, he is also targeted at every turn.
His only brother also regarded him as a monster and always bullied him with a stick.
Finally one day, the emotional Escanor's magic power broke out and injured his brother's right arm. Since then, the family could no longer tolerate Escanor, and even openly wanted him.
Escanor's mouth was extremely bitter: "I'm actually fine..."
"There's no need to hide it. What do you have to hide in front of me?" Jon pushed Escanor down on a recliner: "Telling it will make you feel better."
A bard who doesn't want to be a psychiatrist is not a good cook.
These days, what you play for is overall strength.
Escanor didn't want to talk about it.
But when he met Jon's extremely sincere eyes, he was inexplicably relieved.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "I... am indeed a monster, wanted by my parents and the country. Growing up, only Sister Rosa was not afraid of me."
The story is simple:
The little prince is feared by his biological parents and older brother because of his excessive power. Only his personal maid is willing to take care of him, even betraying the country to help him escape from the land of right and wrong.
Later, the country was invaded by barbarians, and all his family members and the only maid who showed kindness were killed in the flames. Escanor had to start a wandering life.
By chance, he joined the Seven Deadly Sins and met the respectable Captain Meliodas and the badass woman Marlene. Marlene was very interested in Escanor's special physique and couldn't help but show her kindness. She has been short of love since she was a child.
Escanor had never seen such a battle before. He fell directly and became the goddess' number one licker.
"Lack of love in childhood, psychological trauma, single mother and child...the factors are complete, and it is understandable." Jon touched his smooth chin: "It is easy to treat your problem."
"Treat... cure?" Escanor didn't understand: "Lord Jon, I don't seem to have any disease worth treating."
"I said you have it, you have it." Jon said to Escanor sincerely: "People who don't have themselves will eventually lose themselves."
Escanor:???
So philosophical.
It's true that listening to you is better than just talking.
"For my little interest, I decided to let you fall in love." Jon chuckled: "You're welcome."
"Eh?!" Escanor was so shocked that he even dropped his glasses.
He thought of a possibility: "Could it be with Mama Mama Mama..."
After waiting for a long time, Lin didn't come out.
Jon shook his head and said: "You still can't handle a woman of Marlene's level. And she has never liked you from beginning to end, so don't do it in vain."
But as long as the goddess is happy, that is my greatest happiness...
But regardless of the little theater in Escanor's heart, Jon silently calculated: "First of all, I need to find someone who is not afraid of you."
He explained: "I am really not a random match-maker. If you continue to be deceived by bad women like this, you may even lose your life. Although you should not care about it yourself, you must also consider the breasts of netizens."
"Netizen's...breast glands..." Escanor blinked, not quite understanding what Jon's words meant.
But soon, he understood——
Fanatical town, ‘Basel’.
The annual fighting conference was held as scheduled.
There are many rewards for such a barbaric and crude activity.
As usual, the first prize is the huge war hammer standing on the mountain outside the town.
"It's my hammer." Looking into the distance, Diane's eyes lit up.
Finally found my artifact.
Just because she didn't have an artifact, she didn't know how much she suffered in the battle before.
At the same time, Diane was also very strange. She asked a random passerby: "Hey, uncle, why is the hammer the prize for the first place every year?"
"Because it attracts attention." The passerby laughed and said, "It's rare to see such a big hammer."
"Then why didn't anyone take it away?" Elizabeth couldn't help but ask.
Uncle passerby: "Because it's too big, no one can take it away. The top players in previous years have all discounted their rewards."
Oh, that’s it~
Knowing the reason, Diane said to Jon excitedly: "Sir Jon, I'm going to sign up now! Just wait."
As he spoke, he turned around.
However, Jon grabbed him and said, "Don't bother me. You can just transform back to your original form and just hold the hammer away."
Ah this.
In Diane's impression, it is a normal process to happily participate in a fighting tournament, defeat a group of opponents, and finally receive your own reward.
Jon's proposal is simply a wicked idea...
But I have to admit that this method is indeed fast and good.
"Don't forget that our opponents now are the demon clan who are ready to move in the dark." Jon said calmly.
But somehow, the conversation suddenly changed: "So, let's compete."
"Oh." Diane didn't hear clearly at first.
When she reacted, her voice suddenly rose an octave higher: "Huh?!"
"I said, let's take part." Jon pointed to the registration office not far away: "You, go and play."
"Awesome!" Diane was extremely happy.
Excited, he hugged Jon directly.
To be honest, this means Jon has a strong body.
If it were anyone else, the bones might have been broken into many pieces by the giant girl...
Diane happily signed up.
Elizabeth and Piggy went with her, leaving Escanor and Jon behind.
Because it was daytime, Escanor was in the form of a muscular man.
He touched his mustache and said in a casual and arrogant tone: "The Demon God Clan is nearby, right?"
"A straggler." Jon gave an affirmative answer.
After a pause, he added: "However, I am not completely sure that there is only one person on the other side."
"Yeah." Escanor said he understood.
At the same time, he did not hide his gaze and began to look around.
However.
Escanor saw nothing.
Seeing this, Jon smiled: "There are specialties in magic. Although your magic power is huge, your ability to operate small things is still far behind."
Melascula, who was lurking in the dark, was so frightened that his heart beat wildly.
She was not sure whether the other party had discovered her.
After the death of his good partner Jialan, Melascula was too embarrassed to go back and kept silently looking for opportunities to take action.
Fortunately, Hawk's mother's size was quite conspicuous, and she successfully kept up with Meliodas' companions.
Among them, the giant girl and the white-haired girl suspected of being a goddess are nothing.
The black-haired young man who always had a bad smile and didn't look like a good guy was no threat... After all, when Jialan died in the battle before, the guy acted like a water monster and just stretched out his hand to cast protective magic (she didn't know
The function of magic power restriction) should be logistics.
The only person who was threatening was the muscular man who looked very untouchable.
how to say.
Just like a normal person would know at first sight that the fangs and claws could threaten their life when they see a ferocious beast, Melascula felt the same way.
She was confident in her own strength, but she didn't dare to jump out and challenge that guy rashly.
Use your brain~
"Brain is a good thing. It can turn defeat into victory and defeat the strong with the weak." Melascula murmured to himself, constantly looking for suitable candidates around him.
She didn't expect to directly kill the other party's group.
As long as a certain amount of damage is caused, you can contact other ‘Ten Commandments’ to take over.
——The competition within the Demon God Clan is fierce.
Melascula did not dare to go back because of fear.
The guy who now leads the Ten Commandments is ruthless, and any weak person will be abandoned by him without any scruples.
Jialan is in the same group as her.
It's a pity that he died before he left the army.
As a survivor, she must do something practical no matter what she says in order to live up to her "faith."
"Liuxueni and Dorolu tried to eliminate them before, but failed. Those two guys were not weak, but in the end they still fell short. This shows that the big man's strength should be at the highest level, and maybe he is the same as the captain.
A strong person of the same level, and to deal with such a strong person, you must start from his weaknesses."
Melascula calmly analyzed it and gradually came up with an idea.
…
…
Kingdom of Camelot.
Royal Capital Dungeon.
The dark cell was made of a special metal cage, where Liu Xueni and Dorolu were imprisoned.
Since being defeated and captured, the two of them have not actually suffered much physical hardship. On the contrary, in addition to being restricted in their personal freedom and freedom of movement, there are dedicated people responsible for three meals a day, and they can even read and read newspapers in their spare time.
They were very puzzled, but they did not relax their vigilance.
However, in Marin's eyes, their attitudes were a bit ridiculous.
"It doesn't have to be like this. I really don't know what you are guarding against. The commandments given by the Demon King have been extracted. Strictly speaking, you have nothing to do with the Demon Clan." Marin completely regarded the prison as a laboratory.
With King Arthur's support, she spends at least 20 hours a day here.
"Stop talking nonsense, human!" Liuxueni's attitude towards humans is still very unfriendly.
Doluolu was taciturn. Although he didn't speak, his eyes showed resentment.
It was a questioning tone, but it had no meaning at all.
The bad woman used a syringe to draw the blood of Liuxue Ni and Doluo Lu, and put it into special equipment for analysis.
She explained to the two prisoners: "The first generation Goblin King, and the ancestor giant, your blood has a magical power that cannot be explained by modern magic theory. According to the history of the goblin clan... Yes, courtesy of the current Goblin King, Goblin
The clan can manipulate time to a certain extent and send people's consciousness to the past. As for the ancestor giant, your blood will strengthen the body to the maximum extent. In short, they are all rare and good materials."
