Chapter Twenty-Three: A New Day

When Xiu opened his eyes, the sky was just dawning. Before the horn of the morning exercise assembly sounded, Xiu looked at the sky and felt that he should still have a little time.

After a brief wash, he pushed open the door to the dormitory. The fresh and cool air, which can only be found in the early morning, greeted you, and lifted the spirit of cultivation. It's going to be a good day!

Otto was still asleep. He went to bed late every night, and he didn't know what was the magic of his book that made him so obsessed.

He went straight to the quartermaster office and prepared to get a bag of horse grass for the black horse. The quartermaster who was on vigil here didn't seem to have changed shifts, and the Valkyrie on duty was so sleepy that she was asleep on the table, and she slept soundly, and there was a slight trace of saliva on the corner of her mouth, and even her coat fell to the ground.

Xiu saw that the quartermaster was sleeping so soundly, so he didn't disturb her. After quietly registering himself, he put the fallen coat on the Valkyrie's body, took a bag of horse grass and quietly left.

The quartermaster Valkyrie woke up after a long moment when she felt something was wrong with her body.

"Huh? Why did you fall asleep~" She got up and stretched, "Haah~It's so comfortable~ Huh? He found that his clothes were still well draped.

"Did I sleep so well tonight? The clothes are still there...", she inadvertently saw the registered notebook.

On today's registration page, I saw a new registration name: Hugh Kaslana. A bag of horse grass.

Valkyrie's face immediately turned red: "Oh my God, I'm seen lazy, what should I do... But since it's a recruit, I don't think I'm going to talk about it everywhere, right?" she muttered to herself in a panic, "but... This little guy is really sensible, he didn't wake me up, hehehe..."

Of course, Xiu didn't know what was going on with the quartermaster, he just trotted all the way back to the stable, filled the trough, and filled the trough.

The dark horse gracefully began to eat its own breakfast, but this time its face rubbed against Xiu's body.

"Does that mean you're starting to like me?" Xiu smiled happily. He gently stroked the face of the black horse.

"Big dark horse, we have to get along. I will definitely raise you to grow up, and you must grow up soon! When we grow up, let's go and fight the Honkai Beasts together, and let's go and beat the dead soldiers together! Xiu said in a low voice to the dark horse.

I don't know if the black horse understands it, it just chews the horse grass quietly, and the snow-white horse teeth make a gentle grinding sound.

Xiu returned to his room and took out his gear.

A simple set of armor, two broadswords, two Kaslana handcuffs, and his gunpowder and projectiles.

He poured out all the gunpowder, stirred it with a small wooden stick so that it did not solidify, and reloaded it into the ammunition bag.

After the two knight swords were issued, Xiu had not yet received training in weapons. It could also be because it's only the second day, and the weapons training has either not yet reached the course, or the age has not yet arrived. It's just, why send it down so early?

Xiu didn't understand what the instructors were thinking.

He simply wiped the knight's sword with a cloth and applied it with the maintenance oil that had been sent down - in fact, it might have been ordinary oil. He hung the sword back on the wall.

With all the preparations done, Xiu sat down on the table and began to flip through the book that Otto had placed on the table, waiting for the horn of the training assembly.

...

......

Xiu found that he couldn't understand what was written on it at all.

In medieval Europe, books were generally written in Latin, and Latin basically became a universal language, and of course it would be a little bit of repair, but the things on it were all taken apart separately and repaired, but they couldn't be understood when they were repaired together.

Xiu silently closed the book.

I knew that I should have brought some books from home.

At this moment, the sound of a heavy horn came from afar.

Xiu stood up. He knew that a hard day of training was about to begin.

Instructor Suzanne stood at the assembly point early, looking at the recruits gathered below, and did not seem to notice Otto's absence. She nodded, and ordered:

"Let's start running!"

Training began.

In fact, the training of recruits is too easy for the instructors, and it cannot even be regarded as training at all, at most it is a warm-up. But the age of the recruits is only ten to twelve years old, and this kind of training is already very heavy for them. But the recruits had no complaints.

Because when the instructor takes the recruits to train, they don't just watch from the sidelines, but train with the recruits.

Under the monster-like frightened eyes of the recruits, the instructor easily completed three times their training volume.

As a result, the recruits could only grit their teeth and fight hard to complete the requirements of the instructors. The morning passed quickly, and the morning training was over, and the last one to stay to make up for the training was unexpected.

Another child, Xiu had lunch with Suzanne as he did yesterday, and after saying goodbye to Susanna, Xiu came to the quartermaster office again.

This time, the quartermaster was a knight, and the Valkyrie in the morning was not there, so it should have been a change of guard.

He politely said hello to the knight, and then registered to receive the horse grass.

After going back, I added fodder to the black horse, and took the black horse out and brushed it well.

At this moment Otto walked out of the room.

"Is this your horse?" Otto's eyes lit up as he looked at the dark horse.

"yes." Xiu nodded.

"Is there a name?"

"This..."Xiu scratched his head, "I still have to name him?" ”

Otto suddenly felt that his roommate was... He took a deep breath.

"Of course, your horse must have a name, otherwise how would you call it? Dark horse, dark horse? ”

"yes," Xiu nodded honestly.

Otto took another deep breath.

"Then you give it a name, you don't even have a name, you are not a qualified owner, and it is in vain that you have such a good horse in your hands."

"Is this horse good?" I can't figure it out.

"You look at its hoof tendons and leg muscles, you look at its skeleton and its eyes. If I didn't know how to ride a horse, I'd have grabbed such a horse for anything. ”

"You don't know how to ride a horse, you still know how to ride horses?"

"I haven't ridden a horse, haven't I seen a horse yet? This trait is much more obvious than my father's horse, and it is certainly true that the book says so! ”

"Then it looks like my horse is very good!" Xiu scratched his head and smiled stupidly.

"It's just that why are you so skinny?" Otto looked at Xiu with scrutiny in his eyes, "Did you not know how to raise horses to make him like this?" ”

"Because the horse is actually still being screened. There is not much forage at all during the screening process, and it is normal to be thin. When it was screened, it had to compete with the other three horses, and if it won, it could be our family's war horse, and I pulled it out before it passed..."

"Why not wait for it to pass?"

"I don't have any other horses to ride, our horses are fierce, I can't ride, so I have to pull a horse over."

Is this the blessing of stupidity? Otto took another deep breath. But this time I couldn't hold it down.

"You brush the horses, I'll go to lunch."

"I'm done, wait for me..."

"Brush again!"

"Oh..."
