Chapter 88: Red Scale Road (I)

"Red Scale has 9800 contributions. After spending them, there are still left. Not bad."

Mantou was a little stunned: "Isn't it 10780? Why is yours so much cheaper than mine?"

Singo said calmly: "The price is related to the favorability. For every decrease in favorability, the price will increase by 1%, so..."

Steamed bun:.
Singo said to Cassius: "Lord Cassius, I also want to buy the [Crimson Scale]."

Mantou followed closely: "Me too."

Cassius's golden eyes stared at them, and he slowly said, "These are the sharp knives and blades of my men. Becoming a Red Scale Conqueror means that you have no other choice but to fight for me."

"Are you guys really ready?"

Mantou’s eyes were firm.

"I'm ready!"

The eighteen days of slavery experience replayed in his mind like a kaleidoscope, which made his determination to become the Red Scale Conqueror extremely firm.

Cassius took out two crimson scales.

"Then go and prove to me what you are capable of!"

"I hope you can hold on until then."

As Cassius finished speaking, information was refreshed on the two people's panels.

[Advanced quest: [Red Scale Conqueror] has been opened.]
[The Red Scale Conquerors are a special group of knights who are loyal to the master of the Burning Embers Nest - the red dragon Cassius. They can patrol the vast territory of the red dragon as rangers to scout for enemies that may come at any time, perhaps the army of the kingdom, or perhaps adventurers who want to slay the dragon. And when war comes, they will also be terrible conquerors.

When the roar of a dragon is heard from afar, the Red Scale Conquerors will ride on huge and brutal dragon vein creatures and attack from the sky, bringing endless flames and complete death to the enemy.]
[Mission 1: Go to the Dragon Valley and look for [Red Scale Conqueror Instructor - Alger].]
"Alger? Another unknown NPC."

"And we are going to the Dragon Valley. Have you seen the post by Charlotte, the president of Magic Coin?"

"Ah."

"Let's go in through the gate under the city wall later, so we don't get wiped out like them."

The four left the mysterious cave and parted ways temporarily. Tiansheng Zhan Kuang and Xia Ye Qiu Yu only needed to wait for the gift of dragon blood to succeed, while Mantou and Singo needed to complete a series of advanced tasks.

The two of them followed the road built by their followers and came to the Rock Fortress.

The hobgoblin guards stood on the city wall, pointed their crossbows at them, and asked, "Who are you?"

Facing the fierce scrutiny, Singo remained calm: "We are the followers from Batto City, and we are here to see Instructor Alger."

When the hobgoblins heard this, they opened the door and let them in, but their expressions were quite playful as they talked to their colleagues.

"Do you think these two can succeed?"

"Let's make a bet. I'll bet a hundred copper coins."

"What a bet. Alger has been running the Red Scale Army for so many years, and now there is only one person left. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Haha, the unlucky guy who went there for the test last time was smashed into a meat pie and even got eaten by an ogre. Until now, no one dares to go there, not to mention that these two are humans."

Singo and Mantou encountered all kinds of monsters in the valley, including lizardmen, hobgoblins, gnolls and even goatmen. They asked for directions as they walked and finally found Alger's residence.

But for some reason, after hearing that they were looking for Alger, the monsters all showed expressions of gloating on their faces.

"That's it."

Mantou pointed at the simple cave and said.

"Something's wrong. This professional instructor is at least an important person. How could he live in such a bad place?"

"Never mind, let's go in and take a look first."

The two rashly entered the cave and saw a warrior sitting on a stone bench sharpening his sword - but he did not look human.

The guy in front of him was about two meters tall, with strong and hard muscles all over his body. His skin was covered with dense red scales, and his head was not human-like, but a ferocious dragon head like a dragon, with golden, reptilian vertical pupils that were particularly conspicuous.

Behind his head, the crown of keratin scales looked like a mess of hair. The hand holding the sword was not a pure human hand, but more like a dragon's claw, but more flexible.

"who are you?"

He raised his head, staring at the person who came with his golden vertical pupils, his eyes containing a chilling and dangerous aura.

[Red Scale Conqueror - Alger]

"This is the fourth unknown NPC!"

Mantou exclaimed in a low voice.

Singo calmly took out his token - the scarlet scale.

"We are here on the orders of Lord Cassius to carry out the advancement mission of the Redscale Conqueror."

A fleeting hint of surprise flashed across Alger's golden eyes.

He originally thought that this was another trial-taker who overestimated his own abilities. He had seen many such people in the past few years. But this time, the person brought a token with him. He should be one of the "gifted people" that his master mentioned. This made him pay a little attention to him.

Alger also wanted to see what kind of talent could allow them to become a flying knight in such a short time.

However, his golden eyes looked the two of them up and down, but he did not find anything extraordinary about them. In fact, they were not as strong as those monsters.

"Very good, I hope you can survive."

"follow me."

The two players followed Alger obediently.

Mantou muttered quietly, "Why did he tell us to survive? Could this advanced mission that we paid so much for be dangerous?"

Singo said disdainfully: "Don't worry, you will know it soon."

They went deeper into the valley and passed several forks in the road.

"Ow—"

Before entering, I could hear a continuous and noisy roar echoing from inside.

Finally, they came to a valley filled with fire and heat, and they saw the true face of this place.

There were large and small pits distributed on the towering rock walls, and many two-legged flying dragons lived in the valley. They flapped their wings, swung their long tails, and opened their bloody mouths that emitted a fishy smell.

The flying dragons were either resting on the wall pits, or hovering in the air. There were even several flying dragons fighting with each other, making noisy roars.

Alger crossed his arms and said indifferently, "This is the Dragon Valley, where wyverns breed their cubs. I need you to find your own mounts here."

When they saw someone coming, the vertical pupils that were emitting faint light in the darkness suddenly focused.

The red dragon blood in Alger was far more noble than that of the flying dragons, so they still respected him quite a bit.

But the wyverns were not polite to Mantou and Singo. Some of them even had sticky saliva dripping from their mouths, wanting to have these two tender humans as dessert after the meal.

Mantou looked up at the many flying dragons, stunned.

“I… Shit”
