Chapter 220: Same Day
readx;? At the same time, outside the Northern Circle
"Haha, looks like I've won today!"
Beneath the pitch-black walls of the Northern Regions, a large amount of smoke and dust was rising as several horses galloped. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info Avery rode his Hannoen horse, and ran to the front with a smug face, turning his head from time to time to taunt his colleagues who had been left behind him.
Since becoming an "honorable" explorator, horse racing has become a popular sport for him and his playmates. They were so obsessed with it that they gambled a lot of money several times for it. As for the work of the so-called overseas exploration team, come on, the demon tide has not been here for more than 50 years, and everyone knows that this position is for the children of the nobles to mix their experience, and no one will really expect them to do anything. Even in the eyes of some of their parents, being able to win a horse race is a job well done.
Avery was the son of a small aristocratic family, his riding skills were not very good, and the horses he had ridden before were only of ordinary blood, so he had won very few times in the past, and he was bound to lose every battle in the previous days. Therefore, not long ago, he gritted his teeth and spent all his savings to order this Hannoen horse, which is good at off-roading, from a merchant from the Eastern Regions, hoping to win the "honor" with this shame!
In fact, the well-known Eastern Regions hybrid, which he named "Mario or Mario, I didn't mean to", did not disappoint him. On this wasteland, it was like walking on flat ground (it was originally flat), galloping like the wind, and after only half a run, he was already far ahead of the rest!
"Oh, my lovely Mario!" Avery turned around, rubbed the mane on the back of the horse's neck like a caresse, and whispered softly, "When we win, I'll let the house prepare the best feed for you!"
Mario shuddered, as if he understood what his master was saying. It let out a cheerful neigh, and suddenly increased its speed a few more points, causing Avery to fall back unexpectedly, and narrowly fall off his horse. It was only when this sudden change occurred that Avery, who had managed to regain his stability, was not angry, but became more and more proud, and could not help but whistle excitedly and scream like a madman.
"Oh my God, this kid is just too proud!" Tours, who fell in second place, pouted and stared at the smug figure in front of him, both unwilling and envious. "If only I had such a good horse. He thought to himself, "Even Avery who is so bad at riding, he can overtake me after riding this horse, so if I have such a horse, no, if I have a better horse than this, then this boy probably has no hope of winning me in his life." ”
"Why didn't he fall!" He felt a little ruthless in his heart. In fact, the others who fell behind him also looked at the figure in front of them with dissatisfaction, and a similar thought came to their minds: If only I had such a horse!
They cursed maliciously in their hearts. And perhaps because this group of people are all capable people, after the countless curses in their hearts, the invisible will seems to really interfere in the present world, Mario, who is running at the front, suddenly let out a frightened hiss, a sharp stop, raised his forefoot high, and threw off Avery who was still triumphant just now, and fell into disgrace.
Could it be that our curse has taken effect!?
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. And Turs, who was running in second place, was now twenty-six years old, and he still couldn't stop muttering: "Could it be that I have awakened a new mental image at this age, and I can make people fall off the horse as I want!?" The opportunity must not be missed, since the first place has been lost, then he naturally has to firmly grasp this opportunity and take this opportunity to catch up with the other party.
Turce drove past Avery and gave him a gloating look as he passed by, laughing at the other man's disgraced face at the moment. However, his pride did not last long, and the moment he passed Avery, the horse under his crotch neighed in horror like Mario, raised his front hooves high, and threw him off the same way.
Now the people behind sensed that something was wrong, and they slowed down one after another, stopping in front of the two grizzled people. But just as they were about to jump off their horses and lift the two unfortunate bastards on the ground, the horses suddenly trembled in horror and neighed uncontrollably.
"Hey, what's going on?" Avery staggered to his feet. He fell not lightly, if it weren't for being a capable person, his physical fitness was far better than ordinary people, and this time it was estimated that he would be able to lie in bed for half his life. He looked up and quickly noticed the abnormality of the horses: "What happened to these horses?"
"I don't know, but suddenly they don't listen. One of the nobles' sons replied with a dead grip on the reins. The horse beneath him couldn't stop trying to turn, so he had to pull the horse's head back with all his might. And he is not the only one who has this situation, and the horses under the other seats have more or less this situation.
Everyone vaguely felt that something was wrong, these horses were very well-behaved in the past horse races, and this had never happened, and just when most people were puzzled, a young man who looked up at the sky by chance suddenly shouted: "Look at the sky, there is something flying in the sky, there are so many, there are so many!"
Everyone looked up at once, and found that at some point, a lot of black particles came out of the northern end of the sky. There are so many of them that they are gathered together, and when viewed from afar, they look like a black cloud of lead.
"What's that?" they froze, muttering uncontrollably. What they didn't know was that on top of the great wall, the old sentinels, who had also seen the scene, had already called out their names in horror.
"How is this possible!?" Old Cole shouted in disbelief as he looked at the black and red strange birds. Ogres are known for abusing their prey and gluttony, but as flying demons, they should be extremely scarce in number, even more than fifty years ago, they were only rare, and sometimes there may not be one in the great demon tide. However, at this moment, they were floating towards the northern region like a lead cloud, which made old Cole not frightened.
But this scene was not the end, and in the dim sunset, a thin black-red line appeared on the distant northern horizon. As time passed, the thin line became thicker and thicker, and gradually became a canvas, an ocean, so that the old Cole, who watched this scene appear, could not stop moaning: "Demon tide"
The day before God's Advent, the Northern Regions welcomed the delegation of the Most High Church in the morning light. And on the same day, an unprecedented wave of demons swept towards the city in the twilight. (To be continued.) )
