The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

The next second, he was behind Hendrickson, "Surpris!"

"what?"

The enemy's speed was beyond Hendrickson's imagination. Before he could react, Jon took action directly and delivered a "Backstab of Justice".

"He's not a bad brain, and he's determined, but he's a little slow to react."

That was the last Hendrickson heard.

Then, he knew nothing and closed his eyes heavily.

"Dead?" Meliodas rushed forward to check.

Jon comforted him, "Don't worry, I just wiped out the demon blood in his body. Hendrickson himself is still alive and well."

"Oh, that's good~" Hearing this, Meliodas felt relieved.

Hendrickson didn't say that he watched him grow up, and he also had many unforgettable memories when he was serving in the kingdom.

He didn't want to see his old friend die unless it was absolutely necessary...

Especially because of the death caused by the infection of the devil's blood.

“Is this the end of the matter?” Meliodas rested his hands on his pillow. “I didn’t do anything, but I feel tired for some reason.”

"I've done all your work, and you're still tired?" Jon weighed the hilt of the lightsaber. "By the way, didn't you even notice that this thing has been swapped?"

“Ah?!” Meliodas was stunned for a moment, then broke out in a cold sweat.

After taking the strange lightsaber, he looked at it carefully and indeed saw some clues.

"you you……"

"What are you talking about? Don't worry, the original one is still with me." Jon smiled and took out the broken dragon-shaped sword like a magic trick, which was the fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness that Dreyfuss and Hendrickson had been trying to get.

Meliodas felt relieved.

"Don't scare me, Lord Jon." Meliodas said unhappily.

The reason why the fragments of the Coffin of Everlasting Darkness were entrusted to John was because John, as the embodiment of the will of "that person", was more suitable to keep the key that sealed the demon clan than himself.

Everyone has a weird imagination.

Everyone is a riddle man.

John's identity is obviously not simple in Meliodas' mind...

"I don't mean anything else. I just follow the trend of the times. It's only a matter of time before the Demon Clan is unsealed. If it doesn't work in eight or ten years, it will succeed in a hundred or a thousand years." Jon held two swords, one real and one fake. "Instead of waiting passively, it's better to take the initiative. Do you understand what I mean?"

Meliodas is not stupid.

Hearing the string, he knew what Ya meant, and he spoke tentatively: "Are you saying that you deliberately exiled the fake fragments of the Everlasting Darkness Coffin to the outside world?"

I dare not say much about others, but Mr. Qiao’s ability to stir up trouble is absolutely first-class.

This suggestion hit Meliodas right in the heart.

Take the initiative?

It sounds pretty good.

"We'll talk about this later. Anyway, let's go meet up with Diane and the others first. Oh, and also inform Escanor. There's no need to engage in a meaningless battle."

Meliodas forced himself to suppress the messy thoughts in his mind and scratched his eyebrows lightly.

The most important thing right now is to completely put an end to the affairs of the Kingdom of Lyonness.

As for what happens next—

Let's take a step by step.

……

……

The night is getting darker.

A great battle came to an end, ending with the complete victory of Jon and others.

Although this may sound a bit cliché, whoever has control over the intelligence will have complete control over the situation.

The main attack, feint attack, attracting firepower, and logistical support were all allocated in an orderly manner.

On the other hand, Hendrickson and Dreyfuss had no proper preparation and could only deploy their troops against each other, which was not only too cumbersome but also extremely inefficient.

Moreover, when facing a truly strong person, numbers are not only not an advantage, but will become a burden instead.

Many details need not be elaborated.

Soon after, Marlene returned to the 'Pig Hat' with Princess Margaret.

When King Lyonesse met his eldest daughter, he was naturally moved to tears.

The father and daughter have not communicated for several years.

Although they were in the same castle, they seemed to be separated on both sides of the sky.

Full of grievances and uneasiness, Margaret burst into tears while hugging her father.

The old king could not utter a word, but just kept stroking his daughter's lavender hair with his hands.

Just then, a figure rushed in from outside the door.

"Father, Sister Margaret." Elizabeth's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.

The scene in the dream finally appeared.

She suddenly felt that all her efforts over the past few months were worth it.

"Elizabeth!" the father and daughter said in unison.

Elizabeth called out her father and sister's names and stumbled towards her family.

It was a touching reunion, with the family crying and laughing.

Jon, Meliodas and the others did not disturb the moment, but just watched quietly.

Just by watching, you can feel the invisible and intangible, but real bond between the three people.

"Anyway, I want to thank you very much this time, Sir John Joestar, and everyone from the Seven Deadly Sins. Please allow me to express my highest gratitude to you on behalf of the Kingdom of Lyonness."

King Lyonness was mature after all. He suppressed his excitement and bowed deeply to Jon, Meliodas and others.

Margaret and Elizabeth followed suit.

John naturally didn't care, but Meliodas and the others waved their hands to indicate that they didn't do anything.

The scene is very harmonious.

"Please rest assured. I will give you an explanation for the injustice that happened ten years ago." King Leonness said solemnly, guaranteeing with his own surname.

Hearing this, Meliodas was serious for once, and he put his hand on his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you took me in when I was homeless, and I didn't realize that you were being held hostage by a bad guy. To be honest, I am sorry for you."

“No, no, it’s because the demons are too cunning and have corrupted the minds of the two paladins.” King Leonness sighed, “Thank goodness for you, we didn’t cause a disaster.”

Speaking of this, Marlene suddenly asked, "Where are Escanor and Jin? Why don't I see them?"

"As for Escanor, he is hiding in his room reflecting on what he did during the day; King said he wanted to bury his former best friend, and no one knows where he went alone." Meliodas explained.

On the front battlefield, with Gowther protecting Elizabeth closely, Escanor, who was in good condition, almost single-handedly blocked all the kingdom's troops and knights.

Of course, due to Meliodas's prior instructions, Escanor did not resort to any harsh measures, and successfully played up his "arrogant" character.

No matter how strong you are, the sun is above my head.

Facing hundreds of magical attacks, Escanor stood still like a mountain. Not only did he not suffer any damage, but he didn't even lose a hair.

Fortunately, Jon and his team acted quickly and successfully resolved the hidden danger of the demonic power in the bodies of the two great paladins.

Otherwise, you can see the famous scene where the "arrogance" sin that was full of arrogance a second ago and a one-man army shouts "I'm sorry for being born as a human being" after the sun sets...

"I see." Marlene expressed her understanding.

King Leonness also nodded gently. "Gilthanda and I have already contacted each other. It should be no problem for him to appease the army and the Paladins. In the final analysis, it is fortunate that Escanor showed mercy, so no serious consequences were caused."

His mood was a little complicated.

Escanor alone is equal to the combined combat power of all the paladins of a country.

As a king, he really has no sense of security.

King Lyonesse smiled wryly.

But from another perspective, it can also be regarded as indirectly improving the combat effectiveness of the army and the knights.

The kingdom's paladins suffered a huge blow after being dealt a heavy blow by Escanor.

Do not break or stand!

King Lyonness thought that it was better to be taught a lesson by one's own people than to be ravaged by the paladins of a neighboring country.

Moreover, without the blood of the demons, although the combat effectiveness of the new generation of paladins has been greatly reduced, at least they have recognized their true selves and regained their "future".

Overall the pros outweigh the cons.

Although there were some pains, the Kingdom of Lyonness did eliminate the hidden danger.

Everything is moving in the right direction——

"Please allow me to express my gratitude to you all once again." King Lyonesse bowed again and said, "Follow me into the city. I will give you the highest level of hospitality."

"The highest level of reception? Anything like that is fine. Hey, Your Majesty, I heard that the royal family of Lyonness has a treasure in their collection, the 'Horn of the Goddess'. Can you let me see it?" Ban, who had been pretending to be an honest man for a long time, finally couldn't help it.

He was already very angry because he failed to defeat his opponent, and now that he finally had a chance to vent his anger, he would not indulge in it.

"Kin, how do you talk to His Majesty?" Meliodas put his hands on his hips.

King Lyonesse smiled and waved his hand, saying gently to Jin: "The horn of the goddess? Of course, you can visit the royal treasury anytime you want."

Chapter 735 Opening Eyes

Jin came back quietly, looking calm.

After briefly greeting everyone, he walked into the kitchen of "Pig Hat" and found Jon.

"I want to talk to you." Jin looked at the other party sincerely: "Please, Lord Jon."

"Why are you all calling me 'Lord Jon'? Can this be contagious?" Jon put down the pot and spoon and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Regarding what you told me before..." Jin lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Also, I cremated Helbram's body."

"Yeah." Jon didn't comment.

Then he asked, "So?"

"About the future of the goblins." Jin met Jon's eyes and said, "Please help me."

"I thought you had already made up your mind." Jon laughed, "After all, your expression before didn't seem joking. Besides, are you sure you want to ask me this question? I mean, it's easy for me to talk, but it's probably another matter for you to actually do it."

"I was consciously avoiding this problem before, but now, I really want to make some changes." Jin bowed to Jon: "Please, Teacher Jon!"

"No, no, no." Jon waved his hands repeatedly.

After a moment's silence, he asked, "If you were given a second chance and your current consciousness was sent back to the time when Helbram was kidnapped, what would you do?"

Jin thought for a moment and slowly said, "Kill all those slave traders who kidnapped the fairies!"

This shows that he has really changed.

The innocent, kind-hearted Harlequin who did not want to kill has passed away.

Instead, there is a fairy king who has firm beliefs and wants to protect his people!

"That's all?" Jon raised his eyebrows. "Don't you want to think about it further?"

"Down..." Jin muttered to himself.

"Yes, down."

Jon persuaded him earnestly, "After something like this happened, shouldn't humans give an explanation?

Just like you were ultimately responsible for the Helbram Massacre.

The human king allowed slave traders to enter the Fairy Forest, abduct and kill fairies. Doesn't he have any responsibility at all?"

Hearing this, Jin was shocked.
