Fang Yu looked at the tall lizardman warrior sitting on the chair, because the chair was too 'petite' for it, the latter looked a little cramped to sit on it, and the long tail did not know where to put it, sweeping around on the ground.

Of course, the lizard prince had a mouthful of white fangs, a cold expression, and looked very fearful. Sky Blue and Kita hid far away, looking in this direction.

After listening to the other party's statement, Fang Yu asked, "So you're here to participate in the trial of the Dragon's Nest?" ”

Tenaric politely placed the cup on the table, which looked like a pocket toy under its relatively large claws, and it was a little annoyed by the red tape of humans, but remembering the admonition of the Holy Tower sacrifice before leaving, he patiently replied, "Sih, so to speak, dear human brother." Ancient prophecies tell us that the earthly serpent is returning to this world, and in the western sky, the tail of the serpent is manifesting. Sizzle, the power of the Shining Sea is waning day by day, and the power of darkness will soon sweep across the land—the Elder of Andasok, the Eye of the Forest, Er-Atta, tells the Believers that the days of holding on to the Jungle are over, and that the Guardians must return to the world to search for the clues left by the ancient sages for the path of salvation. ”

The flame flickered, reflecting the scales on one of Tenarec's cheeks, finely and neatly, and its large, horned crown made it look a bit like a human dragon.

Its dagger-like fangs, glowing cold white in the candlelight, had a forked letter that swam like a snake underneath, spitting out from its lower lip from time to time. Lizardmen are very different from other humanoid races, and they are very different from warm-blooded races such as the Lionmen and the People of Rotao, they are cold-blooded animals with unique life and cultural customs, so they are incompatible with the current civilization of Aitariana.

At least Azure and Kita didn't dare to step forward, and Attila patted them on the back with some amusement and told them to go up and add water, but the two little girls shook their heads in fright.

"It's going to eat me!" Sky Blue exaggeratedly said, "Look at its teeth, Sister Attila, it bit me to death." ”

"You're not an aborigine, don't listen to those rumors!" Attila said angrily, "That's our guest, Ed invited him." ”

Tianlan shook his head and said, "That's not a rumor, the cannibal culture on the earth has been around until the twentieth century, don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on it here, and I won't let it be bad for Brother Ed." ”

Attila could only shake her head and sigh.

According to word of mouth, the lizardmen clans of the distant continent maintain the custom of cannibalism, and therefore consider them monsters.

It is true that there are some lizardmen clans that will devour the hearts of their opponents. But that's often on grand ceremonial occasions, and not every lizardman has the qualification, they have to be a priest, an elder, or the most valiant warrior.

They believe that devouring their opponent's heart can gain their opponent's strength, so they will not swallow the heart of their cowardly and weak opponents, only strong and invincible enemies are qualified to do so.

Of course, those barbaric customs actually faded as the Lizardmen gradually came into contact with other kingdoms, and now there are very few other War Lizardmen who do this except the Dragonblood Clan. Otherwise, as Tenaric is, maybe sitting in front of them is really a 'man-eating' monster.

Tenaric paused for a moment before continuing, "Sizzle, so I followed this clue all the way from Andasok to this place. An ancient voice has called me here, and I believe that here is a message from the ancient sages, my esteemed human brother, what about you? ”

It said as it looked up at the square plover.

Fang Yu shook his head, indicating that he hadn't heard anything.

Then he explained, "You may not know, but this trial is held twice a year on Fenris Island, and it is presided over by a famous green dragon, and it is not an ancient pilgrimage route. Although I don't know if we're talking to you about the same thing, there really aren't any pilgrims here, and you say ancient prophecy, what is it? As far as I know, the black comet is not visible in Aitalia right now, and the Serpent's Tail has been missing for thousands of years in history. ”

Tenaric shook his head as well, "My esteemed human brother, the ancient prophecy is the language written down on the tablets by the archmages of Sinsas, and the Great Elder E-Atta is the generation born of the stars, and only it can interpret the messages above. It guides us to see the world through the aether floating in the Sea of Shine—and there is no doubt that the black comet is heading towards Aitalia, and we see its tail streak long across the western sky. ”

As it spoke, it stretched out its long claws and gestured, as if through the ceiling of the roof, through the thick rock formations, the tail of the serpent was literally crossing the vast star dome there.

The history of the previous epoch recorded that the comet's tail lasted for a hundred years, and it maintained a long orbit, intersecting with the world of Aitalia.

"Well, Tenarek, can I call you that? Can you call me Ed as well, or something else? Fang Yu suggested with some trouble.

In fact, ever since Tata had asked him to speak dragon language, the other party's attitude towards him had changed dramatically, and he had been calling him 'Respected Brother of Humanity'. On the other hand, it is very cold and reserved towards others.

Miss Elf explains that this is because the Lizardmen believe that those who are born to speak dragon language are the generation that have been blessed by the dragon spirit Vallarec. Lizardmen, on the other hand, are oviparous creatures, they are not related to their parents, and they often refer to each other as brothers and sisters when they grow up in the hatchery.

That's where Tenaric called him.

Fang Plover was a little incomprehensible, he knew that Vallaric was an ancient dragon, not only the ancestor of the dragon, but also the common ancestor of the hydra lizard, the sea serpent, the storm dragon and the lizardmen, one of the three dragons. But to be able to speak dragon language is Vallaric's dependent? Wouldn't this be too hasty, can't you learn the day after tomorrow?

He made a common-sense mistake, Tata told him. The language of dragons is not an acquired language, it was born when Aitalia existed, it is actually a language of magic - when the magic of the ether changes, the language changes accordingly, it has countless diacritics, and every word has no fixed meaning.

It actually conveys the dragon's sense of magic, which is more like a psychic ability.

Then Miss Fairy said that what she had said before was nothing more than a simple greeting, one of the most common blessings in the dense forests of the Far South Continent: the wind on the shining sea, blowing you and me.

"But Tata, how do you know dragon language?" Fang Yu couldn't help asking.

Miss Fairy blinked very calmly, as if she was seriously considering whether it was necessary for her to answer the question, "I am the Dragon Soul, Mr. Knight. ”

Fang Yu suddenly realized.

Tenaric nodded, "No problem, my human brother. ”

Well, at least the word 'respect' is missing.

Fang Yu shrugged his shoulders, and agreed with the other party's statement: "Okay, even if this trial is the one you said, do you know its rules?" ”

"Rules?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Tenarec's slender pupils: "We follow the ancient laws of the jungle, and I have heard the priests of the Holy Tower say that there are many similar laws in the human world. Are the so-called rules your rules? ”

Fang Yu thought to himself that it should be talking about the laws of the human world, but that was not the same thing at all. He didn't know how to explain it, but the headache should be put aside for now, so he replied, "Pretty much, in short, not everyone can participate in the trial." ”

"I see what you mean, my human brother, below level fifteen. Rest assured, I've just completed the hunting ritual of the Andasok Beast Jungle, and I can't go beyond level fifteen. ”

Fang Yu blocked the second half of his words, there is no novice area for the Electors in the Far South Continent, and the other party does not know much about other aspects of the human world, so he didn't expect to be very clear about this aspect.

He mentally asked Miss Elf what the hunting ritual was, and Tata replied that it was similar to a lizardman's rite of passage, and that he had to go to the depths of the jungle alone to kill a dinosaur.

Fang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Tenarik, you're just coming of age?" ”

"It's been more than a year," replied Tenarek, holding up his head and spitting out the letter, "sizzle, I left Andasok and traveled everywhere before I came here. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the other party's height, he knew that the biological age of the lizards was not much different from that of humans, but they were much more precocious than humans, and they generally performed the coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fourteen, which meant that the prince of the lizardmen in front of him, who was taller and burly than him, might be a year younger than him.

He couldn't help but be speechless, and simply stopped talking.

However, this also indirectly indicates that the other party's level is not too high, although Tenaric says that it is the strongest warrior of the whitehead clan, but the warriors are also divided into age groups, and it is likely to say the title of the younger generation.

"Alright," he finally spread his hands helplessly, "I'm fine, Tenarek, I did plan to participate in that trial for some special reason. And we happen to be understaffed, so it's no surprise that you're welcome to join us, but I still want to ask, why did you choose us? ”

Tenaric blinked.

Like many reptiles, they have a translucent lining under their eyelids that gives them the appearance of being cold-blooded. Without thinking, it replied, "Sizzle, I've heard that humans will participate in this trial, and I've estimated my strength, and it's not safe to participate alone, so I'm going to look for some teammates. ”

"I've been waiting here for a day and a night, and you're the first humans I've ever seen."

Fang Yu was dumbfounded.

He originally thought that the other party would say what the pull of fate was, the designation of the ancient prophecy in the dark, or the metaphor of the Great Elder E-Ata, in short, full of mysterious and legendary feelings.

But I didn't expect the answer to be so simple.

Because they were the first people the lizard-man prince had encountered, apparently impatient for a long time, it had chosen it that way, and it didn't sound like anything wrong with it.

But wait a minute, Fang Yu couldn't help but want to ask, isn't this the legendary pilgrimage route, is there no problem for you to decide so hastily? And he actually didn't just think so, he asked:

"But Tenarek, how do you decide that we are the teammates you need?"

"It's okay, if there are too many enemies during the trial, you can help me contain them. Leave the rest to me alone. Tenarik's scorched eyes flashed with a hint of legitimacy, as if the enemies weren't worth mentioning.

That means, it doesn't matter – I'm strong, you just need to do the chores for me.

However, it probably remembered the warnings of the priests of the Holy Tower before leaving, and realized that such direct words might hurt the hearts of its human friends, so it added: "Of course, my human brothers, I didn't expect to meet you, I think maybe this is the guidance of the Shining Sea-"

As it spoke, it smiled gently at the two little human girls who had been probing their brains not far away.

So Fang Yu finally heard the lines of fate's guidance, but he was not happy at all now, because it sounded too perfunctory. He thought to himself that if you can't be tactful, then you might as well not be tactful, you look at the expression on your face, it's too fake, and you still show a mouthful of white Sensen's teeth, does that look like you're laughing?

Others just think you're going to feast.

He turned around, and sure enough, he saw Sky Blue and Ji Ta screaming, and ran away in fright.

Regardless, the self-proclaimed warrior lizard-man prince stayed behind and temporarily joined the group, intending to join them in the trials of the Dragon's Lair.

Naturally, the platform behind Mr. Greystone has long been inhabited, but Tenaric also said that it doesn't matter, it is cold-blooded, and its requirements for the environment are different from everyone else.

The dry and cold cave environment, the rough surface can only be said to be a little uncomfortable for it, and when it rests, it only needs to light a bonfire and curl up to the side, not even a sleeping bag.

And Fang Plover also found that the other party also had a mount - a creature that looked a bit like a large velociraptor dragon, he knew this thing, the crested dinosaur, a creature endemic to the southern rainforest, it walked on two legs, its movements were flexible, it could quickly travel through complex environments such as rainforests, and it was also a fierce predator that could participate in battles with knights.

It's just that except for the lizardmen, ordinary people can't stand the bump on the back of this thing.

In addition to dining with the crowd on the platform, Tenaric and his lizard mount, Bloodfang, were almost inseparable, and as such, he introduced the Plover to his mount:

"Bloodfang, this is my human brother, you can't eat him."

But this way of introduction made Fang Yu not happy at all, and only privately told Tianlan and Ji Ta to stay away from the beast, so as not to accidentally become each other's dinner.

The two little girls trembled, and their upper and lower teeth trembled in agreement.

And Fang Ou also figured out Tenarek's career.

The opponent is a more agile warrior, and its main weapon is a double-headed spear, but it can also use a scimitar. The race talent of the Lizardmen makes them a natural fit for the Sensitive Warrior class, and both their long tails for balance and their outstanding bouncing and jumping abilities give them an edge over other races.

And the lizardfolk of Andasok have their own culture.

They don't use magicians, as lizardfolk with dragon blood are naturally much stronger than humans, which gives them direct access to aether magic.

They use an ancient weapon called the Golden Hand, which is part of their opponent's armor, and the ornate hand armor is inlaid with suncrystals from the Andasok jungle, which helps them absorb and release their magical powers.

And their weapons are actually a branch of the magic guide, but they don't have a core crystal to transform magic power. It was a pure war gear, still maintaining the ancient appearance of alchemy in ancient times, and the dense pattern of formulas was densely spread on the surface of the spear and scimitar, which looked like beautiful and intricate patterns.

However, how strong Tenaric is, Fang Yu didn't ask, although he joined the team, this relationship is not stable, and knowing the other party's level is the limit for a temporary member.

In ancient times, the road ran underground, and the people walked for about a day and a night before they stepped out of the surface again. The road is full of strange landscapes, dense mushroom forests and unknown dangers, and countless forks in the road that lead deeper underground, and legend has it that there are places below that lead to the Dead Zone.

But as Grant had said before, the ancient passage itself was not dangerous, and it was true, and they had little trouble along the way.

At the exit of the passage is also a huge door similar to its entrance, and even the pattern on the door is not much different, and this is almost the only trace left by the Sinsas snake empire here, a stone avenue outside the giant gate, but it has long been eroded by the forces of nature.

Outside, too, leads to a tranquil valley - but this is not unexpected, as long as you have not left the Green Dragon Mountains, this is the only terrain that can be found most everywhere in this precipitous mountain forest.

After Fang Yu and his party took the lead out of the passage, they stayed in place, and the people who listened to the rain were still behind. Nearby here is the Sacred Valley of Peru, and the person who swears the Blood Pact will definitely not be too far away, and he will not have the idea that he will not meet the other party by chance.

However, the Rainhearer Guild dragged their families, and most of the team were low-level trainees, and they were attacked by night lizards on the way, so they didn't walk out of the exit until this afternoon. Fang Yu made a batch of self-destructing goblins in his spare time, and just as he was about to test them, he happened to meet Grant, the vice president of the rain listener, who came to the door with a somewhat strange teenager.

"What is this?" Fang Yu stopped and looked at the two of them strangely—especially the young man who was not tall.

"Lonely Wild asked me to bring him here," Grant introduced, "I heard that you don't have enough people to participate in the trial, if you don't mind, you can let him join you." ”

Fang Yu suddenly realized.

The other party is the 'task' entrusted to him by the lonely white field.
