"Why?"

Jace Blackscale asked, with an unhappy expression.

As a guide for Dio and the others, although it didn't play a substantial role, Jace Blackscale still felt that he had an obligation to help.

After all, if Dio hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have been able to come here so completely.

"It's the rule!"

After glaring at Jace Blackscale viciously again, Other Redscale explained angrily, "The Dragon Nation welcomes those strong people to visit! But for the weak, you must pass the test of our guards! ”

"And that kind of statement?"

Hearing the word "rules", Jace Blackscales immediately withered, but he still shouted in a low voice, "Why have I never heard of it?" ”

"The last time a guest who didn't reach the legendary level visited, it was 80 years ago!"

Although he was very short-tempered, Osher Red Scale explained very dutifully: "At that time, I guess you weren't even born yet! ”

"You know ...... for so long"

After blinking his eyes, Jace Blackscale's attention suddenly drifted: "May I ask, how old are you?" ”

"Don't mess with your relatives! I don't have a black-scaled junior like you! ”

Osher Red Scale, who was staring at him, replied angrily: "Although the old man is two hundred and forty-nine years old, his memory is not bad at all!" Hum! ”

Looking at the elderly lizardman who spewed a lot of sparks from his nostrils, Jace Blackscale blinked, but chose to retreat very decisively.

You must know that the dragonborn and the wurms are the same as the dragons, the older they get, the stronger they get! And at the age of Osher Red Scale, who is almost "two hundred and five", even if his strength is still at the level of a new legend, he feels that it is not something that ordinary legendary powerhouses can deal with!

So Jace Blackscale, who was very familiar with current affairs, immediately stepped back obediently, and at this time, he didn't want to provoke this old-timer who had lived a long time.

And Dio and others, who had been listening for so long and had figured out the cause and effect, also began to discuss in a low voice. Of course, because Dio doesn't need to go through this kind of test, the only ones to consider are Aisha and Bart.

"Personally, I don't approve of you taking risks."

After sighing, Dio said helplessly: "But I don't think you should be willing to let go of this opportunity now, right?" ”

"That's it!"

Aisha's eyes seemed to have ignited flames, and she said fiercely: "Only by fighting such an opponent with all my strength can we truly test how strong I am now, isn't it?" ”

In fact, Aisha has long been very dissatisfied with Dio always leaving her behind and running away on her own. However, if you want Dio to agree with her strength, the first thing to do is to show her strength thoroughly without Dio's intervention.

But under the protection of Dior, such an opportunity is too rare. So much so that until now, Aisha has not been able to seize any opportunities.

So when Other Red Scale said that the two of them needed to be put to the test, Aisha almost jumped up with joy.

With such a valid reason, even Dio had no way to stop her from making a move.

It's a pity that Aisha's thoughts are still a little too naïve.

"I could agree to give you a try, but ......"

Dio, who held his hands on his chest, said very solemnly: "You have to let me try first, can I avoid this test that is actually meaningless!" ”

After staring at Dio for a while, Aisha nodded a little reluctantly: "Okay." ”

Dio, who had temporarily calmed Aisha, turned straight to Oser Red Scale. As for this visitor who was about to go to the Dragon Realm, Osher Red Scale's attitude became very solemn and unusual.

As the saying goes, old age becomes good.

Despite spending most of his life training and fighting, Other Red Scale, who has lived so long, is still a rare wise man among the lizardmen. And with his eyesight and insight, of course, it is clear that Dio, who seems to have little strength, is actually a much stronger master than him!

So for such a strong man, Orser Red Scale of course behaved quite solemnly.

Naturally, Other Red Scale's attitude also attracted the attention of the rest of the lizardman warriors. For this oldest and strongest compatriot, the rest of the lizardmen warriors were convinced. Therefore, after noticing his attitude, the rest of the lizardman warriors also became alert.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere that had just been harmonious and rumbling instantly became tense.

Under the watchful eyes of the lizardmen warriors, Dio walked up to Other Red Scale with an indifferent face and explained to himself.

"This is actually the envoy sent by our United Kingdom of Malt, and I and the mechanical generals over there are just her guards."

After briefly pointing out Aisha's identity, Dio asked solemnly: "Even so, can't you be a little accommodating and let her go directly to the Dragon Country?" ”

Osher Red Scale was silent for a long time before he said categorically, "No! ”

Just when Dio was a little stunned, Oser Red Scale explained: "Identity can be impersonated!" Tokens can be forged! There is no way to deceive only strength! ”

"Therefore, from a long time ago, the attitude of the Dragon Kingdom has been...... Only the strong are welcome! ”

"No matter why you want to go to the Dragon Realm, as long as you can't pass our test, you won't be allowed to pass here!"

Other Red Scale's words immediately made Dio depressed.

Regardless of whether the dragons have been fooled by some weak chickens with their words, or simply look down on those weak chickens, the result is the same: without the test, Aisha will not be able to go to the land of dragons!

However, the reason why Dio accompanied Aisha to the Phantom Beast World was because Aisha wanted to go to the Dragon Realm to verify whether the dream she had was a prophetic dream. So if Aisha can't go to the Dragon Realm in person, it doesn't make sense for Dio to go there alone.

So this time, Dio really has no reason to stop Aisha at all.

"May I ask you exactly how this test will take place?"

After a moment's hesitation, Dio asked.

Since you can't stop Aisha from going on an adventure, let's try to make her as safe as possible.

That's what Dio thinks, and always does.

"It's no secret."

After waving his hand, Osher Red Scale, whose expression had become much calmer, said slowly: "The way to test is one-on-one. ”

"We will arrange the opponent according to the strength and career of the comer, and try to be as fair as possible."

"As long as you can show enough strength in the test, then even if the test fails, but it is recognized by us onlookers, then you can be released!"

Truth be told, this is just a test for visitors, and the purpose is to brush off the scum that doesn't qualify for the Dragon Realm. And with Aisha's identity and strength, they have actually reached the standard of entering the Dragon Realm, so this test is just a formality.

However, Other Red Scale didn't intend to say this, as he was already curious about Aisha's identity.

How could such a person be an ordinary person who could have a legendary powerhouse act as a guard, and who could also run around with a staff made of branches from the World Tree?

Other Red Scales, whose eyes narrowed slightly, had a glint in his eyes that was very rare among the lizardmen...... Cunning!

After learning the specific form of the test, Dio still did not let Aisha come forward, but turned to Bart and said, "Bart! You go ahead and try it first! ”

"Task, understood."

Bart, who said this in a very flat tone with the help of electronic synthesized sounds, ignored the small resentment in Aisha's eyes and walked straight to a clearing in front of the level.

And looking at Bart who was striding forward amid the sound of "bang, bang, bang", Other Red Scale touched his chin and thought about it for a while, and then said loudly: "Rudolph! You're on! ”

With Other Red Scales shouting, a figure far taller than the other lizardman warriors stepped out of the crowd.

This is a lizardman warrior with black scales like Jace Blackscale. However, unlike Jace Blackscale, whose dragon blood is quite thin, this lizardman warrior named Rudolph has a lot of dragon characteristics except for the lack of dragon wings!

Looking at the pair of sharp dragon horns on Rudolph's head and the very thick tail, Jace Blackscale couldn't help but swallow his saliva with some envy.

If he could, he would also like such a distinct dragon bloodline trait!

Unfortunately, if it weren't for the adventures, Jace Blackscale would never have had this kind of external trait in his lifetime.

Under everyone's gaze, Rudolph slowly walked to the opposite side of Barth, and then tapped the shield of the large shield held in his left hand with the war hammer in his right hand, indicating that he was ready for battle.

It can be seen that the reason why Other Red Scale would let this lizardman named Rudolph be Barth's opponent was indeed after some consideration.

Since Bart has not yet entered the combat mode, it is difficult to see her fighting tendencies, so Other Red Scale directly does not consider this. And for Bart, who is a mechanical general, it is obviously difficult to pose a threat with ordinary sharp weapons, so after some thought, Orser Red Scale let Rudolph play.

Using a combination of a one-handed hammer and a large shield, Rudolph is one of the few warriors in the lizardmen who is proficient in defending and counterattacking! Regardless of Bart's ability to attack in close combat or from a distance, Ather Red Scale believes that Rudolph will be able to seize the opportunity and counterattack to achieve the final victory.

With this in mind, Rudolph walked to the edge of the clearing and raised his right hand high: "When I shout three, the test will officially begin, do you hear clearly?" ”

Bart and Rudolph both nodded, and Osher Red Scale shouted, "One! ”

"Two!"

"Three!"

After the words fell, Bart and Rudolph did not move.

Rudolph, who is good at defensive counterattacks, is waiting for Bart to make the first move, but Bart is turning on all the detectors and is probing Rudolph's specific state.

After analyzing Rudolph's possible course of action based on Rudolph's weapons and equipment, Bart finally launched the operation.

"Morphology Shift - Shelling Mode!"

In a strange rattling sound, two cannon barrels protruded from Bart's back and feet, and his hands turned into two second-loading Grimm machine guns at the same time. Then Bart pointed the muzzles and muzzles of the guns at Rudolph on the other side.

Although Rudolph still held the big shield with an unchanged face, at this moment, his comrades-in-arms subconsciously pinched a cold sweat for him.

It's really the heavy firepower that Bart shows, it's too deterrent!

Dio, who was also watching this scene, shook his head a little helplessly.

As his assistant, Bart has positioned himself as a tactical platform for fire support for Dio from the very beginning. Based on this, Bart has enough weapons and ammunition on her body to be called a "mobile ammunition depot".

If Bart were to pour this order of magnitude of ammunition on an enemy, even if the target was Dio, he would feel a headache, let alone Rudolph, who was only holding a large shield.

So from the moment Bart was ready for battle, the end of such a test was already doomed.

But what made Dio a little depressed was that Bart's way of fighting had no reference significance for Aisha at all. So his purpose of letting Bart come to the test first was abolished from the beginning.
