As the days passed, and with Brando's quietly corrupting, Surya's swordsmanship could simply be described as "miserable" and "getting worse".

But even so, she persevered every day. If nothing else, just remembering Lancelot's phrase "your talent is average" can make her feel empowered.

This is the first time someone has commented on her like this. At first the girl was unconvinced, but as time went on, she did not feel the slightest improvement in herself, and she began to wonder if she was really as mediocre as he said.

If it is destined to be mediocre, then is there any point in such an effort? Is this path right or wrong?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the heavy sword in her hand was difficult to control.

……

It was getting late this day, and the group happened to come to the bank of the Qifeng River, about to arrive at the Misty Forest.

Surya looked at the sign at the entrance of the town, a little distracted.

This is the town of Creekwood.

The Qifeng River flows slowly, providing an abundant source of water. There are many mills along the river, and the streets of the town are not spacious, but they are neat.

She couldn't help but start looking for the chicken that Mu Yan had mentioned.

"Don't look for it, no." The children at the gate of the town saw her raise their heads and shouted loudly, "Lord Chicken God was killed by a red-bearded dwarf, just half a year ago. ”

Redbearded dwarves? Surya suddenly remembered Thorin.

"What about the others?" She asked.

The little one shook his head. "I was driven away by Uncle Faun, and a big man, ...... over there" The child pointed to the Qifeng River, and found that it didn't seem right, and scratched his head.

"No, it's going over there!" Finally, he pointed in the direction of Nighttown.

She was almost certain it was Thorin.

"Thank you." Surya smiled and touched the child's face.

The child immediately blushed and ran away.

……

The group stayed at the White River Hotel in the town, and Wood led a large group of people to crowd the entire inn at once, and the proprietress was originally a little unhappy, but when she saw the shining gold coins, she immediately smiled all over her face.

At night, Surya couldn't sleep, so she took advantage of the moonlight to walk all the way to the vicinity of the racecourse, she remembered that Mu Yan mentioned that there was a white-maned horse here that knew the way, which was the treasure of the owner of the racecourse.

The gate of the stable was locked, and there was a fence more than three meters high outside, but this was not a problem for a swordsman who was almost level 50.

After climbing over the guardrail, Surya slowly approached the stable.

I just glanced at it and satisfied my curiosity. She thought so.

Then she vaguely saw a sneaky figure and hurriedly hid.

The Black Shadow was short, but agile and skillful, and he could tell he was familiar with the place. I saw him sneak to the door of the stable, feel the lock with both hands, and open it almost without pause. Even Surya didn't see how the other party did it.

Then he gently pushed the door open and slipped inside, and Surya followed without hesitation.

However, she was stunned by a scene in the stable.

The child I had seen during the day was holding a faint illuminated crystal, rubbing his forehead against the head of a white-maned horse, and the man and the horse were talking in a low voice as if they were friends, and the horse was snorting softly, looking surprisingly harmonious.

Not daring to get too close, Surya didn't hear what he was saying.

After a while, the child seemed to have had enough, and he untied the reins from the stake, made a silent gesture to the white-maned horse, and pulled it slowly outward.

Surya hurriedly hid behind the cart at the door, and watched the men and horses leave under the cover of a pile of straw.

Because it was late at night, the sound of the horse running was particularly loud, so the child had to wrap its hooves in a few rags and take it slowly close to the Qifeng River, where the soil was soft and should allow the horse to run.

This gave Sullya a chance to keep up.

……

Roy carefully led Dabai, and although the moon was bright, the cool night breeze and the occasional insect chirping around him also scared him a little.

But when he thought about his future life, he was so excited that even the fear of the night dissipated a lot.

It was still two hundred meters from the place agreed with the stranger, and when he reached the river, he crouched down and touched the dirt.

Well, it's very fluffy, and it should be able to make Dabai run.

"Dabai, can you run lightly? Don't 'knock', run like 'click'. He asked in a whisper, holding the horse's head.

The white-maned horse snorted, as if in response to him.

"That's good."

The devil knows how the two of them communicated.

The bear child untied the cloth wrapped around the horse's hooves, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the Qifeng River, flowing down the river. Dabai lay on the ground very sensibly and let the child ride up.

"Let's go! Great! Run! ”

The white-maned horse held its head high, its soft, smooth mane glowing in the moonlight. The radiant look at that moment actually made Surya a little distracted.

"The stables restrained it." She muttered that the horse's look was so different from what it had just been that it reminded her of the flying eagle she had seen when she was a child.

It ran very steadily, because it was carrying a child on its back, so it was not very fast, but its posture was elegant and calm, like an emperor patrolling his territory.

Not long after, when it arrived at the designated place and saw the living person, it lay down far away and let Roy jump off.

Roy grabbed the reins of it and slowly approached the man in black by the river, and he vaguely recognized it as the guy he had made an agreement with.

The guy who gave me the glowing stone, he thought.

The two of them were about ten meters apart, and Suria was also hidden behind a tree more than ten meters away, and the positions of the three of them roughly formed an equilateral triangle, so the girl could easily see the appearance of the man in black.

It's him? Surya was puzzled for a while, wasn't this the old Hank who helped him escape from the Misty Forest, when the Misty Forest was blocked by the three princes, she had to use the pseudonym Susie, claiming that she was a smuggler, and coincidentally there were a few girls of her age who were accompanied by her, and the other party collected a full hundred gold coins from each of them.

Although she was very young at the time and had not been dealing with the other party for a long time, judging from the girl's current understanding, she was also an experienced businessman.

I hope you don't have any bad thoughts. The girl thought so, and the broadsword was already in hand.

After a long period of contact, she gradually got used to this thick sense of steadiness.

……

Looking at the short figure leading the horse, Old Hank was also a little depressed, if it wasn't for the horse farm owner's temperament being too tough, how could he be bored enough to make any promise with a child.

Speaking of which, his experience during this period is also very legendary, since the last time he took two guys who didn't know the height of the sky to go to the Misty Wine Shop, not only did he lose his business, but he was also kicked out of the Misty Forest. But even so, he still couldn't hold the slightest hatred for Lady Arai.

Thinking about it carefully, with the character of the third prince who must be retribution, he is looking for death if he continues to stay in the misty forest. Even he doubted that he could leave the Misty Forest alive and escape from assassination attempts, and he was afraid that the secret help of Mrs. Yalai was indispensable behind this.

Now he is doing business in the area of Qifeng River, barely making ends meet. A week ago, he found the white-maned horse of Ximu Town Horse Farm, with bright coat and full muscles, and he looked like a good horse, so he moved to buy it.

As a result, I didn't expect the owner of the horse farm to be stubborn and refused to sell anything, and the two had a dispute over this, and finally broke up unhappily.

However, even more surprisingly, just as he put the matter aside and was about to leave, the son of the owner of the racecourse, the boy who looked no more than ten years old, saw the argument. The boy came to him, looking like an adult, and claimed to "talk to him".

Old Hank, of course, thought it was a joke, and he couldn't even laugh when he was in a bad mood.

But the child seemed to have inherited his father's stubborn temper, and he pulled his pants and refused to let go, so he had to talk patiently with the other party for a while.

When he learned that he had bought the horse to go to the Morning Star to compete, the bear child's interest suddenly increased.

"Can I be a white rider then?" Roy asked at the time.

"How is that possible? You're too young to stand up as tall as this horse. He scoffed.

Looking back now, old Hank felt that he was also interesting at that time, and he actually gave a little kid a science popularization of the system and admission requirements of the Royal Knight Academy, and even calculated how much it would cost at least to survive at Morningstar every year.

Maybe it was this kid who brought back a trace of his memory.

Just when he thought that the words he said would dispel the other party's unrealistic illusions, Roy suddenly looked at him with a determined expression

"I'll help you steal the Great White out, but on a condition, you're going to take me to Morningstar! Go to that academy or something, I'm going to be the rider on Dabai! ”

Old Hank forgot what he was laughing at after hearing this, and he vaguely remembered that the old man couldn't straighten his waist. However, when he smiled and smiled, he saw that the child was crying, and glared at him angrily, as if he had been greatly wronged, so he had no choice but to agree to the other party.

He thought about a bear child, and gave up when he encountered a little setback, so he gave the other party a lighting crystal and agreed to meet at Baishitan on the bank of the Qifeng River in a week.

It's rare to laugh so happily, a piece of lighting crystal, even if it is taken away, it is not distressing.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if he really stole the horse, he would not be able to give him a reasonable amount of money, and then leave with the horse. He didn't want to take care of this bear child and have a stubborn temper with his father.

Holding the creed of "Old Hank will do what he says", although he came as promised, he did not have any expectations for this deal.

But who would have thought that this guy really did it......
