Gentleman's Night Canteen

But he still reminded the other party.

"Although the little electric lion has a more lively personality, after the evolution, both Luke cat and Roentgen cat have a more proud personality. If you want to be friends with each other, you either have to build a bond since childhood, or you have the strength recognized by the other party. If it is other I can also introduce Pokémon to you and let them touch you, but the other party can’t, you can only conquer them by yourself.”

Artoria, who heard Lan Meng's explanation, also nodded with a serious expression.

Obviously she already had a plan, but at this moment Xanadu's voice suddenly came to Lan Meng's mind.

'Ready. '

"I'm sorry to trouble you~ I'll give you a massage later, is it my reward for troublesome you?"

'huh~'

Shanaido didn't respond to Lanmeng's "pleasing" and stood at the side of the venue with his head held high, but his footsteps became brisker unconsciously.

And Lan Meng, who was not in contact with the other party for the first time, naturally knew that the other party had accepted his 'reward', so he didn't say anything more, but instead greeted Emiya Shirou and Mei Lin and walked towards the middle of the venue...

Chapter 33 So it's orthodox for wizards to use swords?

Everyone present was very interested in the discussion between Emiya Shirou and Merlin. After all, according to everyone's perception, both of them can be said to be quite capable.

This is especially true for Kamio mother and daughter, Sawamura Eriri, and Lelouch who are interested in "the other side of the world".

But the one with the most serious expression was Snape. After all, he specifically asked Merlin to give him a 'remedial lesson' before, and now he naturally hoped that Merlin's strength would be as strong as possible.

Especially Emiya Shirou specially reminded Snape before going up, "Look carefully later, you should be able to learn a lot from Merlin".

It is obvious that Emiya Shirou has realized that Meilin is probably not a passerby with the same name and surname, but a famous existence in history.

The reason why he made such a judgment was because he had seen Saber's back in a dream when he and Saber participated in the Holy Grail War more than ten years ago, but unfortunately in Saber's dream, the other party was wearing a cloak and could not see the face at all , so he cannot directly judge.

In fact, he was quite excited when he first came to this conclusion. After all, he and Saber fought side by side and defeated several powerful enemies back then. He was naturally very happy to have the opportunity to see his old comrades again. I hope that I can give the other party some help, just as the other party helped me in the first place.

It's a pity that even he couldn't see through Merlin's spell cast by the Camelot ley line. After several rounds of trials, he had to say, "Maybe this is another parallel world's 'King Arthur', or the other party is the The verdict of the truly legendary 'King Arthur''.

It's just that although he reminded Snape, he didn't feel any nervousness. After all, as he said before coming here, they were just doing activities after dinner to digest food.

On the contrary, Meilin, who was trying to test Shirou Emiya, was much more serious although he still looked indifferent and smiling.

It's just that after the sparring started, the situation of the battle was a bit unexpected.

In the beginning, whether it was Eiri Sawamura or Kamio's mother and daughter, the battle scenes should be very exaggerated with "light and shadow special effects". Even Snape felt that the "comparison" between the two should be continuous. The spell is released, and the other party keeps defending and then looks for opportunities to counterattack, and the cycle continues.

Although this is definitely not the case in actual combat, after all, it is unlikely to use unique moves in the sparring, which also leads to the two of them must deliberately limit their own strength, which will create a strange balance, but no one thought that he was only half right.

The battle between the two did become back and forth because they were biased towards exchanging ideas, but it was not the kind they imagined.

After the war signal came, Emiya Shiro decisively used the 'projection' to throw several long swords as throwing weapons towards Merlin, and Merlin swung his staff while dodging, and countless petals floated up. When the petals fell A digital 'Merlin' suddenly appeared in the field.

It is obvious that Merlin used his best deception... illusion to create these phantoms. Emiya Shiro decisively threw out the projected 'Noble Phantasm' again to try to find which one is the real 'Merlin', but who would have thought The 'Merlin' at the scene either dodged or blocked, and successfully resolved all the attacks of Shirou Emiya and released spells to fight back.

Emiya Shiro, who failed to attack all, also used the 'Fantasy Collapse' without hesitation to destroy all the phantoms on the field, and found the faint figure in the explosion.

Fighting here is still normal. One side relies on the seemingly very basic projection magic to attack, and the other side uses illusion magic to counterattack with the attack formula, but the simple formula makes the crowd secretly startled. It is also impossible to be so easy on these attacks.

But then the painting style became strange.

First, Emiya Shirou threw the projected Noble Phantasm to feign an attack, and then rushed towards the opponent brandishing his two swords.

In the face of Shirou Emiya's assault, Merlin, who had no time to use magic to counterattack, also decisively strengthened his long staff to meet him.

"Ding~ding~"

"Bang~bang~"

Lan Meng and Gao Wen were stunned by the sound of the double knives and long sticks colliding in the open space.

It was obvious that both of them were surprised by the other's melee ability, so Al explained with a proud face.

"Although Merlin seems unreliable, he actually taught me the basics of swordsmanship."

Snape, on the other hand, kept mumbling to himself.

"Mr. Shirou asked me to pay more attention to Mr. Merlin. Is this what he meant? But the basis of wizard duels is not the rational distribution of the spells you have..."

It was obvious that the two were so obviously different from Snape's habitual fighting style of putting on the Iron Armor Curse and then suppressing the opponent or dodging the enemy's spell by moving his position, which made him a little at a loss.

But what he didn't expect was that Lily, who was by his side at this time, suddenly seemed to remember something.

"That's right! I remember it was written in the 'School History' that Gryffindor, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, was very good at using swords. But since it was specifically mentioned, then the opponent should be very good at using swords, right? It’s like I heard that powerful wizards can use wands to deflect the opponent’s spells, maybe Gryffindors... Ah! Yes! That’s it!"

Lily, who was just about to say something, suddenly saw Merlin using spells to interfere with Emiya Shirou, but the spell was directly bounced away by Emiya Shirou using the projected treasure, and she couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

And Snape showed a suddenly realized expression.

"Perhaps this is what Mr. Shiro said..."

While Snape was muttering to himself, the battle in the field finally came to an end when Emiya Shirou cut off Merlin's staff.

It's just that this sparring ended with his own victory, but looking at the smiling Merlin, his intuition told him that this victory might have been given to him by the other party...or more accurately, the other party actually won the contest at the beginning of the sparring. Not aiming for victory.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Merlin's original plan was to test Emiya Shirou through the opportunity of sparring, but Emiya Shirou only used the magic of "projection magic" from the beginning to the end, and all other battles revolved around this core. of.

After realizing that Emiya Shirou is unlikely to continue to show his ability, he also simply sold a loophole to let Emiya Shirou cut off the long staff in his hand, and this discussion ended.

But only Lan Meng, Gao Wen, and Artoria saw this, and the others gave them warm applause.

For this, Merlin smiled and bowed to the onlookers and the Pokémon, and at the same time did not forget to put his arm around Emiya Shirou's shoulder and whisper.

It's nothing more than words like 'Your sword was so fast just now, I didn't even dodge', 'Some of my spells can't be used', 'I will definitely win it back next time' and so on.

It was obvious that Merlin was not an idiot, and he didn't intend to take others as idiots. He didn't avoid the fact that he didn't try his best, but instead found a suitable excuse for himself.

Although this excuse does not feel the sincerity of the other party at all, but facing the stupid Merlin Emiya Shirou, he doesn't know why he can't get angry, as if he loses by being angry with the other party.

In the end, the two left the center of the venue together.

On the other side, Artoria, who was watching the Roentgen cat eager to try, asked Lan Meng to ask if she could challenge it.

The proud Roentgen cat naturally wouldn't back down from the challenge, it just stood up indifferently and nodded towards Artoria.

But then this sparring ended faster than the one just now.

If the process of Emiya Shirou and Merlin's mutual testing is still wonderful, then the contest between Roentgen Cat and Artoria is much more direct.

The proud Roentgen cat will not bully the weak at will, but it will not relax in the slightest when facing challengers.

As soon as it set foot on the field, it used 'intimidation' on Artoria without hesitation, but what it didn't expect was that 'intimidation' not only did not give the enemy a mental blow as usual, but it seemed to activate Arturia Something in the body, a more terrifying breath gushed out from the opponent's body.

The originally proud Roentgen Cat was also taken aback unconsciously, but then his haughty expression also restrained and became more serious.

Although it didn't know why Artoria, who looked like a human, suddenly burst out with such a terrifying 'aura', but it knew that no opponent with this aura was simple.

It first set up an 'electric field' to amplify its own lightning power, and then decisively used the 'flash of lightning' to hit Arturia. At the same time, it opened its mouth wide and flashed lightning between its teeth. After its impact, it will decisively turn back and connect a 'Thunder Fang'.

But what I didn't expect was that Arturia directly raised the saber in her hand and then slashed at the opponent without hesitation.

Even though Flash of Lightning is not very lethal, the increase in its own speed is extremely terrifying. It is also one of the most commonly used moves by Pokémon in the wild, but it never thought that its activation speed has reached the limit, but it was seen through by Artoria and killed. A scabbard hit the head.

This scabbard was not light, but naturally it couldn't stun the Roentgen cat, on the contrary, it aroused its ferocity.

"Roar!!"

With a roar, the Roentgen cat launched an offensive again.

And the corner of Artoria's mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

Obviously, she really prefers this more direct style of play than her own teacher's style of trying to test each other with the enemy.

The battle between the two was extremely fierce, and Roentgen Cat also had a few more marks knocked out by the scabbard, but Artoria looked even more miserable in comparison.

Naturally, she didn't wear armor because she ran out secretly. She only had a camouflage dress on her body, and even the cloak she was wearing was hung on the hanger in the restaurant, and this also caused her upper body to be under the onslaught of the Roentgen cat. Clothes turned directly into rags.

But obviously she looked extremely embarrassed, but Artoria became more and more courageous as she fought. On the contrary, Roentgen cat fell into deep self-doubt.

Why does it feel that the human being in front of him is more resistant to electricity than strange power?

Is there something wrong?

Coupled with the terrifying aura before, it suspected that in front of it was a... dragon-type Pokémon in the shape of a human?

Chapter 34 Who are we Pokémon?

Although the battle between Merlin and Emiya Shirou was equally exciting, the battle between Artoria and the Roentgen cat undoubtedly received the most cheers. After all, no matter how handsome Merlin and Emiya Shirou are, they cannot change that they are testing each other. The fact that it ended made people feel that it was a close call.

In contrast, Arturia and the Roentgen cat are a real "physical collision", and there is no threshold for watching this.

Relying on her powerful magic resistance ability, Artoria finally defeated Roentgen Cat successfully, and won the respect of Roentgen Cat while getting a burst of cheers.

But what Arturia didn't notice was the slightly subtle expression on the other side when she asked if she could lick him.

But the Roentgen cat did not refuse. After all, the world of Pokémon is dominated by the weak and the strong. Since he was defeated by the opponent, it is understandable for everyone to pay some.

While enjoying the treatment of Lucky Egg, it exposed its back unsuspectingly, signaling to the other party to be free.

Arturia, who saw the 'big cat' for the first time, was still a little cautious even though she got the other party's permission, while the Roentgen cat on the other side shook her head helplessly when she felt that the cat on her back was so close to the palm of her hand.

The human youth in front of him is even stronger than the previous Lan Meng in terms of strength, at least Lan Meng can't physically resist his 'Thunder Teeth', but this skill alone is far from Lan Meng.

I don't know why the Roentgen cat can't help but sigh when thinking of this place. Sure enough, Lan Meng is the only one who can fight and massage?

And at the same time that Artoria was interacting with the Roentgen cat, Lan Meng also boarded the venue at the invitation of Gao Wen.

Not only because Ryza, Sawamura Eriri, and Kamio mother and daughter looked at him curiously, but Lanmeng was also a little curious about the situation in Al's place. By the way, try to make it with the new props obtained from Kratos. 'New equipment'.

As for Gao Wen?

Gao Wen was very simple, he just wanted to test the strength of his "future teammates", that's all.

Compared with other people, Lan Meng, who was wearing the armor he got from the store, and Gao Wen, who had been wearing the armor all the time, looked more formal, but when everyone saw that Lan Meng was only holding a shield and not a weapon, they were surprised. It was a puzzled expression, but Lan Meng didn't explain anything, only Emiya Shirou touched his chin and seemed to see something.

But after the battle started, Blue Dream gave everyone a 'surprise'.

Because Lan Meng's empty right hand actually directly used the 'Miracle Thunder Gun' and threw it towards Gao Wen.

This undoubtedly surprised Gao Wen. After all, he originally thought that Lan Meng and himself were "same type of fighters". The lightning gun exploded instantly.

Dazzling light instantly filled all eyes, and Gao Wen was caught off guard. Fortunately, his rich combat experience prevented him from attacking or dodging recklessly. Focus on the ears.

Unsurprisingly, almost at the same time as he was posing, a sound of footsteps came, and he resolutely swung his sword straight in front of him.

"Ding!!"

With the sound of metal clashing, Gao Wen's expression changed suddenly, because he didn't expect the impact before him to be more exaggerated than he imagined.

Although he is strongest because of the 'blessing' when the sun is high at noon, it doesn't mean that he is weaker at night, just because he is stronger during the day, even without the 'blessing' he is still a powerful A knight, but the brute force erupting from the sword made him instinctively feel that he couldn't fight recklessly.

With the left foot as the center of the body, the long sword in his hand was turned slightly to one side, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand diverted Lan Meng's attack away, and at the same time, the eyes gradually regained his vision, so that he could barely see a blurred shadow, and then he used it without hesitation. The shoulder armor slammed into each other.

It was obvious that he was going to take advantage of Lan Meng's instability to knock him down directly.

Once they fall, the outcome of this sparring will be declared over.

But what he didn't expect was that when Lan Meng's originally empty right hand was raised above his head, a huge bone-chopping knife suddenly appeared and slashed straight towards his shoulder armor.

Obviously, Lan Meng didn't attack the opponent's head without a helmet because it was a duel. Once he was hit, the outcome of the game would also be over, but what he didn't expect was that at this moment, Gao Wen took the initiative to fall back. .

"Thorn~~"

The Bone Slicing Knife wiped out a spark on the opponent's breastplate, and he himself took advantage of this opportunity to leave the battle line in an instant.

Gao Wen, who was half squatting on the ground, had an extremely serious expression at this moment.

Although he had long realized that since His Majesty the king wanted to recruit Lan Meng to become a 'knight', Lan Meng's strength must not be weak, but now it seems that the opponent's strength is far beyond his imagination.

Whether it's the unconstrained attack style or the physical fitness that is not inferior to his normal condition, it is enough to show that the opponent is terrible.

But just like this, he won't lose!

Lan Meng's strength is pretty good. In terms of panel attributes alone, it even far exceeds most knights in the "Kingdom Knights". Even only a few knight leaders including Gao Wen can compare with Lan Meng in terms of panel attributes, but When the blue dream surprise attack failed, the gap in combat experience was revealed.

The opponent suppressed Lan Meng with only a long sword in his hand and could only defend.

Lan Meng is very calm about this, after all, he discovered his own shortcomings when he was competing with Jiutiao Shaluo before --- lack of experience in fighting human enemies.

But now he has a new hole card.

The 'God's Eye' hanging from the waist was shining faintly.

Because Lan Meng is not a real 'hunter', but an ordinary person with relatively strong physical fitness, he cannot recharge the 'energy bottle' with the energy in his body like other hunters, and can only use the simplest method' to keep attacking The target recharges the energy bottle through weapon collision', but after obtaining the 'God's Eye', he also gains the ability to recharge independently.

Not only that, the original most basic 'howitzer' has also been replaced by 'attribute bottle'.

Now Lan Meng is using the ability to block Gao Wen's attack to passively recharge and the ability of God's Eye to actively recharge to recharge the 'attribute bottle'.

Lan Meng's strange reaction undoubtedly caught Gao Wen's attention. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not let Lan Meng go, but right now his purpose is to test Lan Meng, and he simply does not make any changes and just simply communicate with Lan Meng. The dream stalemate.

But at this moment, Lan Meng, who had been acting extremely conservative, suddenly dropped the bone cutting knife in his hand and held the shield with both hands to attack him again.
