"You don't know?" Athena looked unabashedly anxious, "As soon as I came back from outside, I heard people all over the city saying that the human apprentice who excelled in the Aldas Master Challenge last time will represent the side of Darkmoon City in the aerial battle in the arena tomorrow. With your strength, it's like going to die!"

Chen Rui only felt that this competitive competition sounded very familiar, thinking of the scene in the magic shop a few days ago, he suddenly understood, it turned out to be a mistake! This kind of poisonous plan is a bit difficult for the brave and resourceless Allen, it must have been thought up by Joseph's smiling tiger!

After listening to Chen Rui's experience that day, Athena frowned and said, "Joseph, isn't it Allen? How did I hear that it was Allen who released the news." ”

At this time, Alice spoke: "Athena, don't look at Joseph's usual politeness and often giving us gifts, the most truly insidious thing is this guy, Alan is just a fool who is being used." ”

Chen Rui nodded secretly, this little Lori seems to like to be greedy and tidy, but in fact, her heart is bright.

"And you want a gift from him every time?" Athena glanced at Alice, "I don't like Joseph's guy, so I never accept anything from him." ”

Alice's big watery eyes flashed with shining stars: "Athena, the gifts are innocent. ”

That kind of expression, that kind of tone, and that kind of eyes are really in place, compared with before, Xiao Loli's acting skills this time have been qualitatively sublimated, Chen Rui suddenly thought of a line that is most common in romance dramas, the tiger's body is shocked. Sure enough, Athena was no match for such sharp eyes, and she was finally defeated.

It turns out that Xiao Lori is scolded, and the gift is received, and she is worthy of being the leader of the belly black stream.

Chen Rui gave Her Excellency the little princess an admiring look and asked, "What is going on with this air competition?"

"It's a gamble between me and Joseph," Alice flattened her mouth, "one from each side, and two flying monsters are fighting in the air, and whoever falls to the ground first loses." The rule is that you can't do it yourself, you can only command the monster, life and death are at your own risk, this kind of competition is very dangerous, also called the air death match. ”

Chen Rui frowned: "Why do you have this kind of gambling game with him?"

"This is the 'legacy' left by my deceased father, and at the behest of the Regent, the Red Shadow Lord Zhuo Che sent people to compete with Darkmoon City every year to fight against the already pitiful prestige of the descendants of the White Night Emperor. ”

Alice said lazily, "My dad wants to fight for this breath, and every time he goes all out to send someone to participate." However, after my sister took over Dark Moon, it was much more dull, but my father's will must be obeyed, and my sister didn't have so much energy, so people had to take over this gambling game.

As she spoke, Xiao Lori showed a resentful look and looked at Chen Rui directly: "Tell me, the grievances of the previous generation of Weishenme want the next generation to bear?"

Chen Rui suddenly couldn't resist, and Athena interjected blindly: "Don't make trouble, Alice, every time you gamble on the game, I will help you win twice." Let's think about how to let Chen Rui pass this level, if you participate, not only will you die, but it will also be a blow to Dark Moon's morale. Now that the news has spread, even the Red Shadow Territory has sent a magic message, and someone will be sent to visit, even the eldest princess can't order to stop it. However, if Chen Rui avoided participating in it, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Dark Moon Territory. ”

"So what? It's better to be a coward than to die, but pity my bet. Alice said weakly, "Anyway, I made a lot of money in the last Master Challenge, and this time it can be considered a disaster." ”

"Why do you want so much money?" Chen Rui knew that she had made a lot of money in the last Masters, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Does it make sense to be a huge rich princess in Dark Moon City?"

Darkmoon City's economy is depressed, and there are too few places to consume, just like a small country town, it is difficult to buy good things even if you have money.

"People are not very rich," Alice said dejectedly, "Every time I have a little money, I am robbed by my sister, saying that I can't let the family money go nonsense." ”

Chen Rui finally has the feeling of schadenfreude, which is called the wicked have their own wicked grinding.

"But Chen Rui, the method you taught others last time seems to be a bit useful," Alice's big eyes flashed, revealing a sweet smile, "It seems that the human brother is much more powerful than others, and this competition is not only related to the precious wealth of others, but also related to the prestige of Dark Moon." Can the human brother think of a way to save his own life in this competition, but also keep the prestige of the dark moon, by the way...... And help others win money?",

The glutinous voice of the "human brother" made Chen Rui's scalp tingle, but he had gradually sorted out this matter in his heart - the victory in the last Master Challenge made the military and civilians of Dark Moon City excited, and this competition was most likely to take the opportunity to suppress morale, and it was likely that it was also the meaning of the Chiyou Territory or even the regent Obsidian.

Because of this, Joseph first sent someone to publicize and highlight Chen Rui's performance in the Masters, praising him high, and then falling down hard. In a sense, Chen Rui was just a tool used by Joseph to slap Dark Moon. As for Allen, who released the news, as Alice said, he is a fool who was used as a gun!

Chen Rui began to seriously weigh the benefits and disadvantages of this competition, Joseph was obviously premeditated, and the rumors of the competition had quickly spread throughout the city, and even the Red Shadow Territory would come. The most despised by the Demon Realm is a coward, if you avoid the war, it will be difficult in the future, whether it is the Dark Moon or other places, and it will definitely be more difficult to obtain aura. Besides, keeping a low profile is not the same as being cowardly, blindly retreating will only make people press forward step by step, since Joseph wants to use his life to fight Xia and Darkmoon City, then let this smiling tiger plant a big fight.

Chen Rui's mind flew and asked, "Little princess, is the competition between you and Joseph a sure winner or loser?"

Alice was originally joking, and didn't want him to die, but now seeing Chen Rui's appearance, it seems that she really thought of a way, and quickly replied: "No, it's two wins in three games." Athena's beast mastery is the first in the Dark Moon, and she has helped me win for two years in a row, and even Joseph himself lost to her last year. ”

Chen Rui secretly wondered that the reason why Athena won streak was that she had a father who was the first general of the empire, second, that the significance of the competition in previous years was not as important as it is now, and the third and most important reason was that the smiling tiger had been hidden and deliberately used it to hide her strength.

Chen Rui pondered for a while, roughly had a belly plan, and asked: "Little princess, there is an idea, but there is no guarantee of winning, it is likely to be a draw, if you are lucky, you may win." I just don't know how brave you are?"

"If you have the guts, you won't lose money, and you may even ...... Win money?"

Alice's word "money" was bitten hot, and when she saw Chen Rui nodding firmly, she was immediately shocked, and her domineering spirit was revealed: "The dictionary of the Lucifer royal family has never been afraid of these two words, I, Alice Lucifer, am fearless!"

Little Lori's powerful aura made Chen Rui shudder, and he hurriedly said roughly Jihua.

After listening to Chen Rui's jihua, Athena frowned slightly, looking a little worried, Alice signaled that it was okay, stood on tiptoe, and patted Chen Rui's shoulder: "I really didn't see the wrong person, you are more cunning than the old Gauss next to your sister, follow this princess in the future!"

This kind of high praise made Chen Rui embarrassed, and suddenly thought of one thing, and said cooperatively: "There is a delicious sugar pill here under my subordinates, please taste it." ”

"It's the princess!" Alice corrected, snatched the sugar pill, ate it, and unceremoniously criticized the sugar pill for its ordinary taste and too far from expectations.

Athena's eyes lit up, and she understood that what Alice had eaten was the "antidote", and secretly praised Chen Rui's wit, and said: "There is not much time left, Chen Rui has never ridden a flying demonic beast, and he needs to master some basic control skills immediately." ”

"Okay, I'm going to go to the store to have a look, business has been better in the past two days, and it won't work without Princess Ben to calm the scene," Alice smiled strangely: "Athena, people handed over Chen Rui to you, it's the first time for him, remember that time...... Be gentle. ”

"It's because it's the first time, so I have to train specially. Athena was stunned and said, "What's the use of being gentle?

Chen Rui was sweating profusely, for fear that Alice would cause other ambiguities, so he hurriedly pulled Athena and said, "Since time is very tight, let's go quickly!"

After escaping from Lori's clutches, Athena gets a horned beast and leads him to a clearing outside the city.

The Horned Wing is a relatively common flying beast with a harpy body and a body full of feathers, and its wings are spread out to look huge.

Cornopters are hot-tempered and aggressive, but have relatively poor stamina, and can generally be used as surprise troops in conventional combat. The trump card of air combat is the bipedal wyvern, Liliang is powerful and poisonous, can take off and land vertically, belongs to the combat helicopter, and the driver is respected as a dragoon. It's just that the number of bipedal wyverns that can be tamed is very small, and it would be good for an empire to have one or two bipedal wyvern troops. ,

As for the real air overlord dragon, the dragon of the demon world is relatively rare than the ground shijie, but it is more ferocious and powerful, let alone controlling, basically no one dares to provoke them.

"This kind of demonic beast that has been tamed, it is not difficult to control, originally it was the best way to gain its favor, but now it is too late in terms of time, you just need to let it understand what you mean. Athena patted the horned beast's head lightly, and a low note came out of her mouth, and the eagle's head, which had been looking restless, suddenly leaned down in obedience.

Chen Rui asked strangely, "Why don't you use a saddle or a bridle?"

Athena shook her head and asked rhetorically, "If you use that, will it still be called an aerial death match?" and the requirement for the aerial competition is that it must rise to a height of 100 meters before it can start. ”

100 meters in the air! And there are no auxiliary tools! Chen Rui was taken aback, this kind of plane is not a bus like a triangular rhino, and it will become a free fall if he is not careful, even if he has the characteristics of a star now, he can't afford it.

It seems that you still have to learn the knowledge of the air force in the Demon Realm.

"Don't be afraid in the air, the more fearful it is, the more dangerous it is, in fact, as long as you master the rhythm and feel, you can control the monster with ease. ”

Athena said, sitting on the back of the Horned Winged Beast and patting its neck, the Horned Wing ran forward quickly, fluffing its wings and flying.

Chen Rui watched with envy as Athena flew in the air on a horned beast, in his original shijie, human beings have always had a dream of soaring in the sky, and the plane was born because of this. When he was out to participate in a competition on behalf of the university, he had the privilege of flying on an airplane once, and the feeling of soaring above the white clouds and looking down on the earth was very beautiful, and Athena's flight on the back of a monster was obviously even more exciting.

Athena controlled the Horned Wing Beast to maintain a certain height, and actually stood up on the Horned Winged Beast's not wide back, which was in a high-altitude fast flight, and such a difficult action seemed quite terrifying.

Athena looked calm, her purple hair was blown backwards by the strong wind, her short robe was hunting and dancing, and her feet were firmly nailed to the back of the beast until the horned winged beast fell to the ground.
