A genius freshman at Bison College, the monster who once defeated Lucifer with one punch, Richard is dead!

Countless people sighed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A rising star is finally dying. Like Mesill, there are very few who show their brilliance at the beginning and grow up in the end.

Some people were happy and some were sad, and when Darcher learned of this and shook his head secretly, the Liska family seemed to be as happy as a celebration.

The younger brother of the dead Wiener, Jells, was also in a good mood, and even crossed the door of the third-level magician and advanced to the fourth-level.

In addition, Patriarch Liska held a feast with the elders to discuss the future development direction of the family.

The Grand Duke of Reina is worthy of being a duke, although the matter has not yet succeeded, but a little thing he takes out casually makes Liskar happy.

They brought ten high-grade demon cores and three seventh-order holy patterns, and the value of these things added up to at least 40,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to the total net profit of the entire family for eight years.

And most importantly, these are personal gifts for Liska ...

God knows how many thank-you gifts there will be after the deed is done.

Liska sighed again, the duke is the duke, and the tip of the iceberg revealed is so terrifying that it is prohibitive.

Today's news from Bison College made him even more happy.

The cancer of that family, Richard! Finally dead!

Liska remembered how happy he was when he first heard the news, and he almost danced.

Originally, according to Master Siney's intentions, Richard had to disappear, but this is good, and it will directly save a lot of trouble.

At the same time, a deep doubt rose in Liska's heart.

'What kind of identity is she, even the Grand Duke of Reina is so solemn?' ’

After thinking about it, he was relieved. In any case, the woman was already dead, and even if the Grand Duke of Reina wanted to do something, it was not for him as a viscount to interfere.

What's more, Viscount Liska had no intention of interfering, he was just puzzled.

"Patriarch, what are you thinking about when you're so distracted?"

An elder with a wrinkled face said with a smile.

"Haha, nothing, come, let's raise a glass to celebrate, the death of that family traitor!"

Liska laughed, raised his glass, and drank it all with the others.

There was a lot of laughter and laughter in the room, and Jers said unsatisfactorily: "I didn't expect that kid to have today, and it is not a pity to let our Liska family lose face." ”

"Hehe, don't talk about so many bad luck, in the future, we will have the Grand Duke of Reina standing behind us, and dominating Bekaa City is just around the corner."

An elder looked at him with a slightly reproachful look: "In the future, we will be one of the top noble families in Bekaa City, and we must have some grace." ”

"Hehe, the elder is taught."

Jells touched his head embarrassedly, but he couldn't hide the smugness on his face.

The entire Liska family, except for the old Obi-sama, was immersed in joy.

Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Even some of the subordinates in the clan added wine and food, as if they were celebrating a festival.

But at this moment......

A guard with a panicked face, stumbling, and breaking in in a very frustrating manner.

"Great, great! There is an urgent report! ”

When he said this, his eyes were full of disbelief and a hint of panic, and even his voice trembled a little.

Viscount Liska sat in the first place, displeased: "Look at you, what do you look like!" Hurry up and say something. ”

The other elders also frowned, shaking their heads secretly at the guard's rash move.

With the Grand Duke of Reina as a backer, I'm afraid that Bisson College will have to give them a few thin noodles. A little Beka City, who else can stop the Liska family?

The guard swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Just now, there was a message from the Bekaa Trading House. ”

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a Holy Pattern Auction, and it is said that there will be a sixth-order professional Holy Pattern, and the set Holy Pattern will appear!"

Viscount Liska's expression froze, and he gasped: "Occupation Holy Pattern? Which master is it? ”

Everyone was interested, staring at the guards with sparkling eyes.

When did Bekaa City have such a master, they didn't even hear the slightest rumor.

Viscount Liska's little eyes rolled slightly, and he said to himself, "Hmm... The Class Sacred Emblem and the Suit Holy Emblem, these are the two most precious ones, and we must take them. ”

I secretly added in my heart, if this master can be included in his command, let alone a small Becca City, there is even hope to have a place in the royal capital!

It is rare for a master who has the ability to make a professional holy emblem, let alone a master of a suit-type holy emblem.

Viscount Liska looked at him intently, and said angrily: "Which master is it, say?" I'm going to pay a visit. ”

But he saw that the guards were dodging, spitting, and looked frightened.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"That master, it's called Richard!"

Click!

The cup in Viscount Liska's hand shattered.

Looking at everyone, they were all stunned one by one, looking like they were listening to the heavens.

The master who can make professional holy emblems is Richard?

The air in the room fell silent, and everyone began to panic inexplicably, what would such a Stigmata Master do if he grew up and dealt with their Liska family?

Liska's face was pale, and he gave Leah to Sini, once Richard found out, it was a blood feud!

"The catastrophe of annihilation, the catastrophe of annihilation..."

A timid elder shuddered.

Jers swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "No, it's impossible, right?" It should be the same name. ”

Everyone nodded, yes, didn't Richard die in the Warcraft Forest?

Unexpectedly, the guard stubbornly added: "That Stigmata Master is said to be a young man in his twenties, claiming to be a student of Bison Academy. ”

Now, no one can stay calm anymore!

Liska's face turned pale, and a pair of big hands pressed the table: "He's back?!" No, his growth must be curbed, or we will be finished! ”

"That's right, the development of a master who can make the set of holy emblems is the end of the family."

A white-haired elder immediately made a decision and said sharply, "We have to force him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, hand over the Holy Pattern Atlas, or use it for us." ”

"Otherwise, use all means to erase him!"

This move was approved by everyone, who were like a swarm of panicked ants, and their minds were full of the horrors of the Stigmata Master.

Fortunately, Richard has not yet entered the ranks of the seventh ranks, otherwise, the seventh-order professional holy pattern is enough to attract countless strong people to saddle his horse before and after, and be a cow and a horse!

A once down-and-out young man, after a few months, has grown into a towering tree, and the entire family trembles with the power of one person.

Viscount Liska's face was full of frost, and he immediately convened a family meeting, gathered all his strength, and decided to strongly announce the news of Richard's recognition of his ancestors and his return to his ancestors at the Holy Tattoo Auction tomorrow morning.

If he doesn't comply, use your strength to make him bow his head!

As a veteran aristocratic family in Bekaa City, Liska has more than five seventh-level subordinates, such a strong lineup, he is not afraid that Richard will not be convinced.

……

……

Time goes back to this morning, in a hidden cave somewhere in the Warcraft Forest.

There was silence all around, a sparrow foraging on a branch, and below there was a gray wolf, squinting at what it was thinking, its scarlet tongue spitting out, spitting hot air.

Suddenly, its tail moved, and it looked warily into the distance.

The gray wolf let out an uneasy whimper, slowly retreated, and finally ran away.

Even the bird, aware of the danger, spread its wings and flew into the sky, away from here.

'Whoa' blah. ’

The thorn bushes parted, revealing a large shadow.

The Earth Storm Bear's eyes gleamed with bloodthirsty light, its claws like a fan, and its sharp nails could easily cut through iron armor.

There is no doubt that it is the overlord of the forest, and many large mercenary groups have to go around it when they encounter it.

The black nose of the Earth Storm Bear sniffed, staring in the direction the gray wolf had left.

It's hungry and needs food.

The Earth Storm Bear is a very irritable beast that rises to the extreme when it is in a state of hunger.

Even if a demonic beast of the same level appears, it will rush forward without fear of everything and tear the opponent's neck.

Its strong strength and violent personality make it rampant in the Warcraft Forest.

Suddenly!

There was an earth-shattering roar in the distance, as if the roc was soaring into the sky, the leaves of the trees in the sky shook and fell, the earth trembled slightly, and the strong aura swept across a radius of 100 meters!

The Earth Storm Bear became nervous, stared in that direction, followed the example of the gray wolf, and fled backwards.

Living in a brutal environment where the jungle is the strong, Warcraft is often very sensitive to danger.

And now, the Earth Storm Bear realizes that the owner of this voice is likely to be the most terrifying life it has ever encountered in its life!

Sou!

A black shadow stretched across the sky, and the fierce wind pressure even caused the earth storm bear to fall.

There was a hint of trepidation in its small black eyes.

This kind of aura, which is very different from all demonic beasts, is a kind of outright violence, as if it wants to destroy everything in front of you.

In the face of this kind of atmosphere, the violent character of the earth storm bear is simply a joke, like a doll that has not yet grown up.

Then, it heard a strange language.

"Now... How long has it been? ”

Richard stood unkempt on a large tree.

The long black hair was shoulder-length, scattered, and smelled of stinking all over his body.

If it weren't for the fact that the robe was a magic prop, I'm afraid it would have become moldy and mushroomy.

He stretched his body and let out a crackling bone explosion, and there was a golden glow flowing in his eyes, exuding an indescribable powerful momentum.

Just looking at his appearance, people can't help but think of a sentence.

If you don't move, it's just like thunder!

The earth storm bear trembled and crawled on the ground, and the little power that the human inadvertently leaked made it terrified, as if it was just a small ant that could be destroyed by its hands.

Richard didn't care about it, but said to himself: "After this retreat and cultivation, my magic is already at the peak of the seventh level, and my physical body has also stepped into the seventh ranks. ”

There was a faint sheen on his skin, like a protective shield.

The reborn body of the god of war is already a real copper muscle and iron bone, and the current Richard can be immune to all attacks below level seven.

As for the dead Polly...

The corners of his mouth showed a hint of disdain, if the latter was still alive, it was estimated that he would not be able to cut the corners of Richard's clothes with all his strength.

He didn't know how strong he was now, the body of the god of war had stepped into the seventh level and had two hearts.

His physical strength has increased to an incredible level, and the power of the explosive punch has also been greatly increased.

"I'm afraid, after blessing various spells, my punch can be comparable to level ninth?"

Richard said suspiciously.

Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the earth storm bear trembling below.

Two months ago, Richa saw that its only thought was to escape.

But now, he frowned.

I don't even feel the slightest hint of danger, or...

Too weak?

The weak are pitiful, as if they can be crushed to death with a wave of their hands.

He thought strangely: It can't be an illusion.

"Forget it, let's try it. Earth Storm Bear, you still owe me my life. ”

Richard was in a good mood and jumped off with his bare hands.

With a bang, a deep crater appeared in the earth, and the periphery stretched like a spider's web, with a diameter of five meters.

His eyelids jumped, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "No, I'm just an ordinary jump, I didn't use any force, how can I be so loud?" ”

He looked himself up and down, and a question arose:

How much do I weigh now?

If there were an off-the-shelf scale, Richard would have been able to get the answer.

That's 1,200 pounds.

That's right... Richard, who has an ordinary appearance, has weighed more than a thousand pounds.

The transformation of the body of the god of war is not just talking, his bones, meridians, both hardness and weight, far exceed steel, it can be said that it is made of steel.

Richard looked at the ground speechlessly, shook his head, and immediately looked at the Earth Storm Bear with bad intentions.

He rubbed his hands, covered his rumbling belly, and said with a smile: "It's really uncomfortable not to eat for two months, and the full-screen magic element is replenished." ”

"Little Bear, please go to your death..."

The Earth Storm Bear had a premonition that something was wrong, and forced a not very powerful roar to scare Richard away.

It's a pity that the human in front of him was hungry and red-eyed, and he swooped up.

Suddenly, the Earth Storm Bear was so frightened that it exploded its fur, and the unprecedented fear made it choose to turn around and run, and it was eager to use its strength to eat milk on all fours, and knocked over several towering trees one after another, just to run faster.

That human, however, is faster than him!

Or rather, it's incredibly fast, like thunder and lightning!

The Earth Storm Bear whimpered pitifully, turned around helplessly, lifted the last strength he had, and waved the bear slap, hoping to stop it.

It's a pity that it's wishful thinking after all.

Richard grinned, he could have easily cut off its head, but after a moment's thought, his fist changed direction and slammed into the bear's paw of the broken gold.

Bang!!!

A wave of white air erupted instantly, flying everything within a radius of five meters!

Small pebbles flew in the air, turning directly into powder, and the big trees seemed to be blown by a typhoon, breaking their waists.

And the earth storm bear screamed, its claws smashed like a devastation, and the fist drove straight into its chest.

Boom!

The Earth Storm Bear turned into a broken sack and flew out three feet away, the terrifying power acting on its body, its internal organs already shattered, and it was completely lifeless.

In the silence of the Warcraft Forest, only the sound of Richard moving his steps and stepping through the grass was left.

"Huh? When did I become so strong? ”

He blinked, his face stunned.

Richard knew that after the seventh level of the God of War body, there would be a qualitative change, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous!

He looked at the blood-stained fist in disbelief, then at the dead Earth Storm Bear, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I'm afraid this punch of mine can match the eighth level." ”

At the same time, it also made one of his guesses very certain: release the explosive punch, which only a ninth-level powerhouse can take!

After killing the Storm Bear, take the items that make the fire from the space ring of the Flame Thorn, set up a fire, and then take out a short knife, cramp and peel the skin, and shave off the bones.

Half an hour later, the bear meat is cooked, and the fragrant and intoxicating smell fills the forest.

Many carnivorous monsters cautiously approached this side, and there were no less than ten gray wolves alone.

But they all showed extremely jealous eyes, as if the human being was some kind of ancient fierce beast, and none of them dared to make a move, and all of them stopped ten feet away.

Their eyes drooled as they watched the human feast.

Richard devoured and didn't eat for more than two months, and that hunger was almost driving people crazy, and the body of the god of war with two hearts and iron bones ate an astonishing amount of food.

He insisted on eating half of the bear by himself, God knows how to fit such a small body.

Satisfied, he burped, reclined on the edge of the tree, and gently stroked his round belly with his hand, and Richard had a pleasant expression on his face.

He glanced at the greedy beasts in the distance, grabbed the remaining half of the bear, and threw it lightly for dozens of meters, and it was regarded as a generous charity to the people who ate melons.

The hungry gray wolves were very protective of their food, and they were the first to surround them, and a warning roar came out of their throats, forbidding other demonic beasts to approach.

Solving the problem of his stomach, Richard wondered again, how long had he been in retreat?

When cultivating, there was no concept of time at all, just desperately refining the black mist and strengthening the physical body, and forgetting everything else.

The temperature around him was low, apparently still winter, and Richard breathed a sigh of relief, if it had been a year and a half, he would really want to cry without tears.

The people of Bekaa City must be worried about death, right? Especially Leah's girl.

Thinking of his sister, he couldn't help but show a warm smile on his face, maybe Leah has become a sixth-level warrior?

After thinking about it, I don't know how the final battle between the Blood Tiger and the Flame Thorn went, who loses and who wins.

He said murderously: "If the people of the Volcano Mercenary Group are still alive, I must have washed them in blood." ”

Today's Richard has this strength.

After unleashing the explosive punch, ordinary level nine is not his opponent, at least it has to be a special class, or a monster like Maisier, to pose a threat to him.

Just now, the full force of the Earth Storm Bear didn't even scratch the skin of his fist, and the power of the monster was greater than that of a human...

It is estimated that the peak of the seventh level, and the combat skill of pressing the bottom of the box can make the corners of Richard's clothes cut, probably like this.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, two months ago, Bekaa City was still a behemoth, but now looking at it, except for Mexiel and Darcher, he was not afraid of anyone.

With two hearts, he is hardly afraid of any wheel battles, and his physical strength is almost endless, unless he can form an absolute crushing force in strength, Richard is invincible.

"There are still a lot of vacancies in the skill tree, and I need to pay a trip to the Bekaa Comptoir."

He secretly made a plan, and then suddenly remembered something, the scroll in the Flame Thorn Space Ring had not been checked!

Soon, the two fragments of the Holy Pattern were combined, the lines of the Law Line lit up, and the method of making them was already imprinted in my mind.

He said in surprise: "Haha, professional Saint Pattern Fire Red Swordsman!" With my current magic level, it should be easy to be a sixth-order, so let's try it now. ”

And pointed into a knife, lightly slashed on the two-meter-thick tree, and immediately split into two halves.

The facet is as smooth as a mirror, the magic cardboard is laid on it, and the elemental pen is taken out, Richard enters a meditative state, and the threads of law appear in his mind, which is the holy pattern map.

An hour later.

With a bang, a scorching fiery red light erupted, and strong magic fluctuations were revealed from the holy pattern, and after the icing on the cake of the passive skill, there were even some lines, showing blue.

Richard held the Holy Tattoo in his hand and muttered, "Alas, the level of the Elemental Pen is too low, otherwise it would be a seventh order." ”

After absorbing the divine power of the eight-winged angel, his magic level and spiritual power easily reached the peak of level seven, plus the increase of light attribute and QQ privileges, his magic power is 2-3 times that of ordinary mages.

Then, glancing at the remaining 101QB in the system interface, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Damn, the monthly card hasn't had time to be claimed, it's already expired." ”

After renewing, he was blessed to the soul, and suddenly felt that he had not drawn a lottery for so long, and he should have saved a lot of character, so he was casual.

The main reason is that there is a particularly conspicuous purple logo on the big picture of the seven-day UP.

[Passive Skill: Customization Master!] 】

This is a skill in the holy pattern, to put it simply, it is possible to customize the most suitable set of holy patterns according to personal circumstances.

The power exerted by the set Holy Pattern is far stronger than that of a single Holy Pattern, and it is also pursued by many strong people.

However, Stigmata Masters who have the ability to make sets of Holy Emblems are very rare, and Tris, who is famous in Becca City, can only make two pieces at most.

And this skill, after the proficiency is stacked, you can make five pieces!

Such a terrifying holy emblem suit, maybe Noda, a Marty Kingdom, only the legendary Calvin Bison can make it.

So, with an ethereal mentality, Richard clicked casually.

At that moment, the penguin swung a giant hammer and smashed the eggshell...

Rub!

Small purple stars fluttered in the sky, the interface kept vibrating, and then, under Richard's dull gaze, a mechanical sound sounded.

[Ding, congratulations on getting the purple item, the passive skill customization master!] 】

After a while, Richard touched his head dryly: "Today... Walking shit luck? ”

Can't wait to check it out, and in the inventory, there are two purple icons in the upper left corner.

The first one is naturally the [icing on the cake], and the second one is the [Customization Master] that you just got!

With a deep joy on his face, he quickly took out a stack of magic cardboard, and while he was still in the state, Richard said to the [Custom Master]: "I want to draw a set of warrior-type holy patterns!" ”

A huge amount of information poured in, and after a little pain, three never-before-seen holy pattern maps lit up the lines of the law.

'Ding, your skill customization master is beginner, make up to three sets. ’

pulled his mouth: "Pick the door." Forget it, three pieces are three, and this time we will see if we can make a seventh-order holy pattern. ”

He has a lot of stock in his space ring, and he hasn't been back to Bekaa City for several months anyway, and he is not in a hurry for a while, mainly because Richard has a bold idea.

Today's strength is more than enough to form your own team of followers.

He wanted to buy more high-grade magic cardboard and elemental pens, which required a huge amount of money.

Draw a few more Sacred Patterns to take back to Bekaa City for auction, then craft more Holy Patterns and recruit followers!

Richard had foreseen that an army of his own, with the wave of the Elemental Pen, was slowly taking shape...

Two hours after a sweaty day.

He let out a long sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and there was excitement in his tired eyes that could not be concealed.

On the round platform made of trees, there are a total of four holy emblems, namely the professional holy crest 'Flaming Red Swordsman' and a set of suit holy crests!

This set of sacred emblems consists of three pieces.

Their individual effects are similar to the Pattern of Strength, Defense, and Speed. The difference is that when combined, they can produce new effects.

That is to increase the fighting spirit of two percent!

In this way, the increase is too terrifying. To put it bluntly, if you hit it at the beginning of the sixth level, you can hardly shake the peak of the seventh level.

Of the three holy patterns, two are sixth-order, and the other is a gratifying seventh-order.

Richard reluctantly held them, and suddenly had an urge not to sell them and use them himself.

"Restraint, restraint must be restrained. Right now, I can't make the best Holy Patterns because of the materials, so I'll exchange them for gold coins and customize a set that suits me best. ”

After drawing four holy patterns in a row, he became more and more proficient in the line of law, and he simply did only a few exercises casually, but he didn't expect to reach the sixth order.

At this time, it was already noon, and after venting his mental strength, he was a little tired, so he stopped and fiddled with the QQ membership system.

Since you have such good luck today, you can get a purple item with a casual twist, so what about another one?

Anyway, with his current strength, few people could threaten him, so Richard simply took out the remaining 50QB and used it for the lottery.

He decided to draw two bronze prayers and one silver prayer.

'Ding, congratulations on obtaining [Blue Quality: Seventh-Order Apocalypse Holy Pattern, Shockwave Fury Slash]'

'Ding, congratulations on obtaining the [Magic Sword of Green Quality: +7]'

Richard gasped and said in shock: "Sure enough, it's shit luck, this is the bronze prayer." ”

The Apocalypse Sacred Pattern is the most precious except for the professional Sacred Pattern, and the quality is blue, and it obviously seals a powerful combat skill inside.

Go to the Silver Vouncy column and click on the draw.

The penguin swings its hammer, the eggshell shatters, and the little green stars pop out.

'Ding, congratulations on obtaining [Green Quality: Seventh-Order Enhancement Holy Pattern, Defense Pattern]'

"Tsk, I can make the seventh-order holy pattern myself, and I draw one at 20QB, it's a bit of a loss."

Shaking his head dissatisfied, he took out the scroll from the lottery and compared it carefully.

The line of the law of the Apocalypse Sacred Pattern is more complicated, but it is very difficult to get a clue from it and replicate it perfectly.

Some of the lines of this holy pattern are blue, while the other defensive pattern is green.

This is the basis for estimating quality.

All of them combined, he had a total of eight holy patterns in his hands.

They are four casually made single Holy Patterns, and the precious professional Holy Pattern [Fiery Red Swordsman], followed by the Apocalypse Holy Pattern [Shockwave Fury Slash], and the Enhanced Holy Pattern [Defense Pattern].

And the three-piece [Set Holy Pattern] is the most precious.

Its amplification is too terrifying, and if it is installed at the beginning of the sixth level, it can hardly shake the peak of the seventh level.

Richard sighed and prepared to get up and return to Bekaa City.

With a wave of the short knife in his hand, he brushed it off, cut off the messy long hair, restored it to its short appearance, and then found a stream, went in and took a bath, and dissipated the smelly smell.

In the Monster Forest, a shadow rushed forward, stepping on the branches like a ghost, galloping.

The small animals were like frightened birds, and they fled in all directions.

Even many high-level demonic beasts, when they felt that aura, showed a deep look of fear.

He went on a rampage all the way, passing through the territory of many powerful demonic beasts, and surprisingly, those extremely irascible demonic beasts all changed their temperament today, and they were human beings with their tails between them.

When Richard left, they sighed humanely, revealing what could be considered to be a send-off Lafayette.

The sensitivity of the demonic beasts to breath far exceeds that of humans, so they can feel how powerful the human being who passed by in a hurry is.

An eighth-level pinnacle earth-walking dragon stood on a hill and stared at Richard's distant back.

When he disappeared into the distance and was completely out of sight, he let out a long sigh of relief and climbed on the ground to fall asleep.

Richard ran towards Bekaa City, a hint of anticipation between his brows.

Sister, Blood Tiger, it's been so long, I've worried you!

…

At this time, Mentor Norlin was announcing the expulsion of Richard, and his sister Leah returned to the dormitory in despair and was taken away by Cini.

News of his death spread throughout Bekaa City.

……

……

A young man in a black robe stood outside the dark brown city wall.

There was a lot of dust on the robes, and the short hair was clearly the work of an apprentice of a third-rate barber.

At the same time, there are vicissitudes of age on his face.

In just a few months, it seems like the next year.

He showed a nostalgic look and said softly, "Becca City, I'm back." ”

There are three gates.

They are the tall main city gate, and the auxiliary city gates on both sides, because Richard is not a nobleman, and he has not been to the Wizards Association for rank recognition, all of them can only helplessly walk towards the bustling and noisy mercenaries, that is, the civilian team.

About half an hour later, Richard finally stepped into Bekaa City.

The wide and clean streets, the hawkers on both sides, are full of life, and they are finally free from the eerie and damp Warcraft forest.

Stopping a carriage and sitting on it, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Go to Bison Academy... Well, no, let's go to the Bekaa Comptoir. ”

The coachman, an old man, gave him a strange look, then shouted and waved his whip.

The old horse moved forward with great effort.
