99. Advance to the altar
"Hilltop Altar?" Rodney questioned.
The altar was no stranger to him, and indeed to most people.
There are two kinds of altars in the continent of Mayne, one is man-made, used to worship the gods, and pray for good weather, good war, or peace.
On the other hand, there is a naturally occurring altar with a clear spring in the center, which is generally dark in color, of unknown material, indestructible, and immovable.
Legend has it that the natural altar was created by the gods and has existed since the beginning of the formation of the world. In general, towns and bustling cities are located in places with natural altars, believing that they will be blessed by the gods.
"That's right," Natsu glanced at the small map in the lower right corner, closed his left eye and dragged the zoom bar, and he could see a blue altar marker, "It's in the southwest of the village." ”
The minimap will only show the areas visited, and the rest of the place will remain a dark fog.
"Why go there?" Rodney judged that it should be a natural altar.
"I passed by there when I came to the village, encountered a goblin, and accidentally lost something." Xia Zuo appeared calm.
"Lost something important? You don't need my cavalry team to help you find it, send dozens of people to search there, and you should be able to find it quickly. ”
"No, but I know it, I know where it fell, just go by yourself."
“... Since you insist, then I hope you have a safe journey, but if it is your words, my peace blessing may be redundant. Smiling, Rodney spread out his hands and took the reins from the soldier who led the horse.
"Ride my horse, it's called Bai Sui, because I have to guard Liv Village, so I can't give you a ride along the way."
Jenny and Rupert frowned in surprise, why would Commander Rodney be so nice to him?
"That's... I won't refuse this. ”
Rodney led the horse and pulled the saddle in front of Natsu to the left.
Horseback riding... Xia Zuo hesitated, he seemed to have ridden a horse once when he went to the scenic spot, and the owner of the horse led him the whole time.
At this time, Xia Zuo found that staring at the saddle, an icon of "getting on the horse" would appear.
Press the F key to get on the horse, which is the letter that the icon will display when the computer is operating, but now there is only one icon.
Why do you want to click on the icon to get on the horse, now you can move as much as you want, and you have detached yourself from the keyboard and mouse.
Then he recalled the posture of getting on the horse in the film and television game works, stepping on the stirrup in a good way, and straddling his legs to get ready to ride the saddle.
For Xia Zuo's straddle, Rodney leaned back and was almost kicked by the former.
But before the butt sat down, Xia Zuo's posture of pulling the reins was wrong, and Bai Sui suddenly roared, raised his front hooves and raised his body up, causing Xia Zuo to fall down.
But at the moment of falling, Xia Zuo launched an automatic dodge and landed safely.
The white horse was frightened and ran away.
Rodney was not surprised by this, because Bai Sui recognized the master more, but couldn't help but wonder how a person like Xia Zuo had the ability to tame war horses.
Now it seems that people are not perfect everywhere, Rodney raised the corners of his mouth, and was about to whistle to recall the fleeing white spike.
"Huh~!" Jenny moved vigorously, stepped forward and grabbed Bai Sui, and caressed her hand between her eyes.
Bai Sui quickly calmed down.
Both Rupert and Rodney were slightly surprised, for Jenny had just joined the cavalry team, and perhaps did not know that the commander's horse, Bai Sui, was notoriously bad-tempered.
So when Rodney ordered people to lead the horses just now, the cavalry all cast curious glances.
Unexpectedly, Jenny could calm its emotions so easily, and Rupert gritted his teeth unwillingly, because he couldn't do it himself.
"Oh~ will you get on the horse?" Jenny led Bai Sui over like her own horse, very easily, and handed the reins to Xia Zuo again.
On the side, Rodney also had to care about Jenny's magical tame ability.
"I just made a mistake, I had to go to the horse hundreds of times a day before..."Xia Zuo smiled bitterly.
It's good that I didn't fall, otherwise there would have been a big mess.
When Jenny was close enough, Xia Zuo noticed the sleek female officer with short maroon hair even more.
and the name and rank that appear above her head - Jenny Lv19. Quite a bit lower than the other lieutenant Rupert Lv29.
Is there a difference in the level of strength?
But Xia Zuo immediately noticed that there was a buff icon displayed under Jenny's name, and at first thought it was a "speed-up" buff casually applied by marching combat, so he didn't pay attention to it, but after so long, it hasn't disappeared yet.
"Talent, Luck"? When Natsu stares at the icon, the name of the buff is displayed.
"What have you been staring at the top of my head?" Jenny wondered, "Can you take Bai Sui over?" ”
"Oh." Xia Zuo hesitantly stretched out his hand and took the reins.
Because this is one thing worth thinking about, "Strong Luck" is a passive skill, and in the first five weeks of the game, Xia Zuo only encountered it once, and it was on the enemy.
I don't know the details of its function yet. I saw that the enemy who used the skill and appeared "strong luck" above his head was not killed by himself during the buff time, and it was not until the end of the opponent's buff that the enemy was solved. This skill left Xia Zuo with a rather alternative and magical impression.
Talent... Xia Zuo frowned, looking at the back of Jenny leaving... How terrifying, hasn't "strong luck" always been with her and won't disappear!?
"Ahem~" Rodney covered his mouth with his fingers and reminded him, Xia Zuo had been staring at Jenny for a long time.
"Well, yes, I'm on my way, so..."
"I'm sorry Xia Zuo, I just made a little joke on you, I'll change you another horse, Bai Sui's temperament is a little ......"
Just as Rodney said.
Xia Zuo winked at the "Mount" icon in compromise.
Suddenly, the body began to rise automatically, just like when using the item point in the backpack slot, it automatically reached out for it.
I saw Xia Zuo stepping on the stirrup with a clean and neat movement and riding on the back of the horse. Bai Sui unexpectedly cooperated, and this time there was no resistance.
No outsider has ever ridden Rodney since he recognized it.
Xia Zuo not only rode up and pulled the reins, but Bai Sui was also well controlled, turning around in place... Rodney's voice faded to a halt.
"You made it!?" He lamented that he didn't expect the unexpected to follow.
And Xia Zuo's movements suddenly became skillful from the previous layman... Did he just pretend? Rodney sighed softly, it turned out that the other party had already seen through his intentions? What an interesting person.
"Seems so." Xia Zuo was also pleasantly surprised. The horses are controlled in the same way as seen in the game, although there are no arrow buttons.
"Haha," Rodney smiled as he covered his face, "Alright then, you can ride my horse, White Spike is the fastest horse in the cavalry." ”
"That..." Xia Zuo made a light kick to the horse's flank, and Bai Sui suddenly accelerated, suddenly taking Xia Zuo away.
"I'll be back soon, I'll take good care of it..."Xia Zuo's voice faded away, and Bai Sui's speed quickly disappeared.
"Is it really possible!? Commander Rodney," Rupert said excitedly, but Xia Zuo was gone, "I thought you were just joking, but it was your warhorse." ”
"Since it's a promise to others, naturally you can't go back." Jenny gave Rupert a blank look and smiled contemptuously.
Rodney also expressed his approval of Jenny.
Did you make Jenny proud again!?
Rupert took a deep breath of resentment.
