Chapter 0081: Groom One-Eyed Barton

Lilong horses are dragon stallions, and if you want to develop a Lilong horse herd, the quality of the mare must not be too bad.

The dragon horse is the most suitable breeding object, but there is only one dragon horse, so the kind of horse that can go to the battlefield can be pulled to breed.

Marcus's mount, the Yellow Grey Horse, is a breed of horse that can go into battle, but it is just a stallion.

The horses of Galtai, Isaiah, and Blair are basically battle-ready, and they are mares - mares generally do not go into battle easily, they are more docile, and they are suitable for nobles or descendants of nobles who are not very fond of battlefields.

"I think soon we won't have horses to ride. Galtai looked at his mount, being whipped by the dragon horse, and he didn't know what the expression on his face was.

The most important thing is that this mare obviously did not enter estrus, it was forced to bow by the Lilong Horse Overlord.

This is Liszt's bad taste, his mount, the fire dragon horse, has been ruined by the dragon horse, and other people's mounts are naturally not immune.

Marcus had a smile on his face.

I don't know if he was gloating about Galtai's mount being forced, or if he was looking forward to the future of the herd of horses in Flower Town.

He simply said: "Even a pregnant mare can be ridden, about 11 months are pregnant, before seven months can be ridden, after seven months you have to reduce the number of rides." Also, don't run long distances vigorously, as this will increase the risk of miscarriage in the mare. ”

Marcus knows a lot about horses, but he's not the one who knows horses the most in Flower Town.

The one who knew horses best was the one-eyed Barton, a serf from Little Papa Island, who had trafficked horses for the Little Papa family, traveled from south to north, drank water from behind the toilet, and saw many kinds of horses.

"My lord, I have never seen a horse more miraculous than the Lilong Horse, it must have an extraordinary bloodline. "One-eyed Barton was about forty-five years old, with a thick beard and a blind, squinted eye.

To examine his expertise.

Liszt asked him to take the horse and the dragon.

"And what do you think it does?"

"I have seen horses of low-level demonic beast bloodline, and the fire dragon horse that the lord often rides is a low-level demonic beast bloodline. I've also seen a hybrid of a mid-level Warcraft Nightmare horse mated to a normal horse, a new breed bred in a horse farm in the Blast Furnace Kingdom. ”

Barton shook his head as he spoke: "But that breed of horse doesn't have a dragon horse...... It is taller and larger than the Lilong Horse, but its eyes and spirit are lacking. So I guess that its mixed bloodline must be higher than that of an intermediate level Warcraft...... Maybe it's a high-level Warcraft, I can't be sure. ”

He already has a high estimate of the Lilong horse bloodline, but there is still a gap, which is the dragon stallion.

Liszt had no intention of saying it, so he kept a low profile, and he examined a few more questions about the horses, and the one-eyed Barton replied in the first place.

So he just said, "Patton, tell me your last name." ”

One-eyed Barton's face darkened: "Lord Lord, Barton used to be an orphan, without a surname, raised by a horse dealer since he was a child, and later Lord Papa Little bought Barton back from the Blast Fort Kingdom, and I have been selling horses for Lord Papa Jr. ”

"Is that so? Li Si nodded, "Have you ever been married?"

"Nope. ”

Not married, which means that it doesn't matter if you have a surname or not - if you get married and have offspring, you have to have a little inheritance, and at that time, Barton will probably change his name to Barton One-Eyed Dragon?

"In that case, you should not plough the fields, and I will recruit you as the groom of the castle, and I will be responsible for the management of the horse farm and the care of the castle's horses. ”

Patton kowtowed happily: "Patton must take care of the adult's horse farm!"

The groom is not only a horse keeper, but also a servant subordinate to the castle, as long as he does not make mistakes in the future, he will have no worries about food and clothing.

In the aristocracy, servants are a very important link, shouldering all the work of the castle and maintaining the internal operation of the castle.

Basically.

Servants can be divided into five types: upstairs servants, servant knights, downstairs servants, kitchen servants, and outdoor servants.

Upstairs servants, including governesses, family doctors, and the escorts of elderly nobles, generally did not live in the castle, but could eat with the nobles upstairs.

The knights, including those who went to the battlefield to do miscellaneous work, and the servants who fought with them, had their own families.

Downstairs servants, including housekeepers, manservants, and maids, who are the main staff of the castle, live downstairs.

Kitchen servant, servant who works in the kitchen.

In addition, there is the outdoor servant, which is a general term, because it includes grooms, coachmen, forest rangers, hunters, gatekeepers, gardeners, etc., who generally live in independent houses outside the castle, and do not usually work in the castle, but raise horses, flowers, hunting, and so on for the castle.

In the case of large nobles, servants are further subdivided.

The hall concierge, the caterer, the sommelier, the pulp washer, the housekeeper, the valet, the secretary, the dresser, the horse trainer, the dog trainer, the funny clown, the luthier, the drummer, the fluteer, etc., in short, a servant could be hired for any matter as long as the nobles needed it.

Becoming a servant is something worth talking about for the common people.

Servants were obviously more privileged than serfs, and had to do lighter work. Moreover, there will also be a servant relationship between the nobles, and it is common for small nobles to serve as servants for big nobles. For example, Galtai, as a down-and-out knight of lords, was Liszt's governess.

Even the Earl of Coral Island, the Sky Knight, who holds all the power of life and death on this island, is proud to be a groom for the Grand Duke of Sapphire.

The longer he lived in the castle of the town, Liszt felt that there is no equality between people.

"Take care of the horse first, Barton, it's been a hard time lately, and I don't want to see it fall on a mare one day. Liszt looked at the dragon horse who was working day and night, and said solemnly.

Barton carefully observed the mouth of the horse through the gap between its mouth: "This is still a young horse, it is normal to be a little restless, and now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, its heat will gradually weaken over time." However, it has to be divided into the number of mating times it has with each mare. ”

"First of all, we must ensure that the dragon horse is conceived. ”

"Yes, sir. Barton quickly assumed the role of groom, calling Liszt a master.

......

In order to conceive the dragon horse as soon as possible, Liszt no longer planned to ride the dragon horse and the dragon horse, he changed to a colt and continued to practice archery.

In mid-July, when he could move quickly on a colt, he shot all the targets one by one without stray too far from the bull's-eye. Marcus announced that he had officially graduated from Basic Archery and was ready to begin practicing Multiple Arrows. He had only been studying for a week.

Therefore, he is very confident in the study of "Multiple Arrows" and hopes to be able to fully master it when August comes.

"Sir, your ice cream. Thomas brought a glass of fragrant ice cream.

Liszt, who was still practicing his arrows diligently in the hot weather, picked up the ice cream and ate it in a big gulp, a chill from head to toe, and the refreshing taste was wonderful. Without the help of ice cream, cold beer, and ice juice, he would never have practiced any arrows in the summer.

Fortunately, now that the ultra-small saltpeter mine has been mined, a total of 300 catties of saltpeter have been obtained, which is enough to produce enough ice for the castle every day.

At night, Liszt's study and bedroom will put a few pieces of ice to cool down.

With ice, this summer is not too difficult.
