Chapter 3 The Black Dragon of the Horse

Early the next morning, I embarked on the journey to Dragon City, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I brought my hat again, and I was too handsome to help.

The Dragon God Empire's Zhi'an is much stronger than the Orc Country, and after 5 days of walking, a group of bandits have not been encountered, no wonder the Dragon God Empire can compete with the other two strong clans, it does have his own advantages.

The gradual warming of the air reminded me that it was already noon, and my stomach was no longer stocked, and there was a small restaurant on the side of the road in front of me, and after coming to the Dragon God Empire, I was particularly fascinated by the food here, which was a world of difference compared to the previous in the Orc Country. As soon as I entered the small restaurant, the smell of the smell suddenly came to me, which made my index finger move. Although it is not luxurious, it is also very clean, and the popularity is really good, and there are already six or seven percent of the guests in the house.

I sat down at a table that was cleaner on the side, and the waiter came over, handed me the menu, and asked, "Sir, what do you want?" ”

I flipped through the menu, picked a few dishes that I hadn't eaten at random, and asked for 1 pound of steamed buns. Soon, my dishes were all up, I held the steamed buns in my left hand, picked up the chopsticks in my right hand and began to sweep the battle. At this time, the number of guests in the hotel gradually increased, and it was soon full.

Walking in from the outside, a young samurai was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a moon-white samurai uniform, looking very strong, carrying a long sword on his back, and he was a very spirited young man.

When he came in and saw that there were no empty tables in the room, he walked up to my table and said politely, "This big brother, there is no place left, can I sit here with you?"

I was sitting at a table of four, and I was the only one, and I nodded and continued to eat with my head down.

The samurai shouted: "Waiter, bring me a pound of good wine, two side dishes, and 1 pound of steamed buns." When he finished the food, he said to me, "This big brother, you look like you're going to travel far." ”

Although I haven't taken off my hat, my veil has been lifted, so I don't have to eat much. I looked up, gave him a cold look, and nodded again. He was shocked when he saw my handsome and cold face. I continued to eat my own food and ignored him.

He touched a nail and smiled wryly, and when his dish came up, and I had finished eating, I put down a silver coin, stood up, threw the package over my shoulder, and strode out of the dining room.

I found that in the Dragon God Empire, many people are riding horses, and they are very fast, and I also want to get one to try, so that I can get to Dragon City a little earlier.

I grabbed a pedestrian and asked, "Excuse me, there's a place to sell horses." The pedestrian I pulled first frowned, and when he saw my tall figure, he didn't dare to say anything, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said, "Which intersection in front, to the left, there is a horse farm about two kilometers away, where you can buy horses." ”

I nodded at him and walked in the direction he was pointing.

The scale of the horse farm is really large, the center is a horse race track with about 1,000 acres, and the left is a place to sell horses and some corresponding accessories.

I went to the place where I bought the horses and asked the horse dealer, "Which horse is sold here?"

The horse dealer knew at a glance that I was a foreigner and didn't understand horses, so he smiled contemptuously and said, "As long as you pay for it, all the horses you can see here will be sold." ”

I gave a sigh of encouragement and began to look around to see if I could find a horse I liked. Suddenly, I noticed that all the people were gathering towards the west side of the racecourse, not knowing what was going on. Hurriedly grabbed a person and asked. It turned out that the owner of the farm here brought many people back a few days ago to catch a wild horse, the wild horse was short-tempered, and no one could tame it. No, today the owner has brought in several well-known trainers to try to tame the horse.

I'm going to see such a fiery horse. I followed the group to the horse training farm in the west, which was already crowded, and although I was standing far back, I could still see the center of the field with my superior figure. I saw six or seven people in the field, dressed neatly, surrounded by a black horse, although I did not understand horses, but I could also see that this horse's divine steed, black brown hair was shiny, like black satin, holding its proud head, constantly snorting, showing impatience, full of hostility to the people around it.

It was getting overcast, and the big clouds gathered in the sky, and although there was no more sunshine, I didn't feel cool, but more stuffy.

The man who surrounded it tried to trap it with a rope and then get back to his horse, but the black horse was very clever and dodged the attacks of the trainers again and again.

At this time, a middle-aged horse trainer coldly threw out the ring, and actually hit the neck of the black horse, the black horse suddenly became irritable, the two front hooves were raised high, and a clear long neigh, the horse trainer's work was really good, and he turned on the horse's back with the force of pulling, and hugged the horse's neck tightly.

"Good job, hold on, hold on. The crowd around him began to cheer.

The dark horse kept jumping up and down, trying to shake off the person on his back. Due to its furious movements, it forced the other trainers around it to the periphery, and now, only the trainers on horseback are fighting alone.

The black horse shook off for a long time, and saw that the horse trainer on his back could not shake off, but gradually gentle, no longer staggering, it seems, no matter how fierce it is, it will be tamed. The surrounding crowd shouted loudly the name of the horse trainer, who turned out to be the son of the owner, and he also raised his hands proudly on horseback.

At this moment, a change occurred, and the black horse, as if a horse had lost its front hoof, suddenly fell down, startling the horse trainer, and quickly jumped off the horse to check, such a good horse, he was reluctant to hurt it.

As soon as he jumped off the horse, the black horse suddenly stood up again, and his hooves were on the ground, and a pair of powerful hind hooves kicked heavily on the chest of the middle-aged horse trainer, even if I was so far away, I heard the sound of the horse trainer's sternum shattering, and he let out a long scream and was kicked far away, and it seemed that he could not live.

In fact, it was just a few blinks of an eye, and the crowd around them suddenly became confused, and several other trainers in the field quickly pulled the kicked trainer aside.

A richly dressed man ran out from the side, crying out angrily: "Give back my son's life, kill this murderous horse for me." "It seems that this is the owner of the ranch, and the death of his son has carried him away.

Immediately, many ranch workers ran around, armed with various weapons and about to kill the horses. The dark horse was still holding its head high in the field, completely unaware that the fate of death was about to befall it.

I don't know why, but when I first saw this handsome dark horse, I had an inexplicable affection, and it seemed that it was my turn to appear.

I yelled, "Wait a minute. With his arms strained, he lined up the crowd in front of him and walked into the field. Thousands of eyes were looking at me on the field, and I walked up to the owner, who was lying on top of my son and crying. I first looked down at his son's injuries. I couldn't help but shake my head, I was already out of breath, bleeding from all my orifices, and my chest was completely collapsed.

"Give me a chance to tame this horse. ”

With tears streaming down his face, the owner said, "No, I'm going to use its corpse to honor my son's soul." ”

I frowned and said coldly, "What's wrong with the horse, if it weren't for your efforts to tame it, this wouldn't have happened. ”

The owner of the farm was furious and said: "Who are you, dare to come to me to spread wilderness, come to someone, blast him out for me." ”

I snorted, ignored him, and turned to walk towards the dark horse. As soon as he took two steps, he was surrounded by the people of the ranch. I took off my hat and put it on my back, and said coldly, "Don't force me to hurt people." ”

The workers paid no attention to this, and when they heard my arrogant words, they immediately swarmed me, and at the same time four or five people caught me. But they didn't use weapons, and it seemed that they just wanted to beat me up to vent their anger for the boss.

How could they see me in such a skill, and they threw them all out at once. Seeing that they were about to come up, I snorted heavily, my eyes were full of majesty, and I shouted, "I can't come up and die." I slammed my fist to the ground, "Boom." With a bang, the dust flew, and there was a large pit with a diameter of 1 meter and a depth of half a meter on the flat site.

I patted the dust off my body, ignored the stunned crowd, and walked straight to the dark horse.

The black horse may have sensed the danger as well, staring at me with a pair of big eyes, and constantly slotting the ground with his left front hoof.

I walked two meters away from him and stood down, smiling contemptuously at it, afraid that it wouldn't succeed with the strength I could tear apart the tiger and leopard. I don't know if it understood my smile, and with a roar, the man stood up and stepped down heavily on my front hooves.

I slumped my waist, raised my hands high, and grabbed the hooves it stepped on, the momentum was really great, my arms were pressed back and shrunk, but immediately stopped by my strength, and the people around me were all surprised.

"What a lot of strength, I can actually block the horse's step. ”

"Look at which big hole he just hit, it must be a high-ranking samurai. ”

"Is he a human being, can a human being have such strength?"

I'm sorry, but I'm really not exactly human, at least the strength is not human.

I threw the black horse out with a hard throw on my waist, and it rolled on the ground, screaming in pain, and struggled a few times before it got back to its feet. I walked up to it again, stared into its eyes, and said coldly, "Have you taken it? With your strength, you can't compete with me." ”

As if it could understand me, it nodded its horse's head, looked at me with pity with its big eyes, walked slowly to me, and rubbed its big head against my chest. I patted it lightly on the head, a rare smile on my face.

"You'll be my best friend from now on, will I call you Black Dragon?" the dark horse let out a roar of joy, seemingly agreeing with the name I had given it.

I turned my head and said in a loud voice, "Owner, I'm sorry, I want this horse." Regardless of their reaction, he took out a bag of gold coins from his bosom, about 50 or so, and threw them over. Then I flew on the horse, and after I got on the horse, I remembered that I didn't seem to have ridden it before (how can an orc ride a horse if he is a beast himself?). Forget it, I clamped the horse's belly tightly with my legs, grabbed its long brown hair with my hands, and the black dragon didn't need me to urge, and ran out quickly, to the railing, I split it with one palm, and smashed the top two, it jumped high and jumped out of the railing, and galloped away with my master who couldn't ride a horse.

The sky gradually began to drizzle, although the clothes gradually wet, but the cool feeling made me rush to the extra comfortable, the first time to ride a horse, at first I was still a little apprehensive, after a while, this feeling disappeared, sitting on the back of the black dragon is very stable, only a slight sense of bumps, the surrounding scenery is whistling from both sides, I lay my body on the body of the black dragon, gradually, I found that as long as I lean to the left, it will run to the left, to the right it will run to the right, it is really fun, after all, I am only sixteen years old, just playing, forget the direction of progress, until it is almost dark I found out, lostIt's surrounded by dense forests, but it's a small path, otherwise, I wouldn't even know how to go. Forget it, let's go in this direction, find someone and ask for directions.

In this way, I rode the black dragon down the path for two hours before I reached a town, I pulled the horsemane back, the black dragon gradually slowed down, and entered the town, I jumped off it, and found that the pants were soaked with the sweat of the black dragon, I patted its big head with pity, and walked inside.

The scale of this town is really not small, all kinds of storefronts on the side of the road will fill the town with vitality, the black dragon followed behind me, I found a hotel, the waiter at the door hurriedly ran over, smiled and said: "Sir, you come to live with us, we have complete facilities, cheap prices, good service......" I raised my hand impatiently to stop him from continuing.

"Find me a place to settle my horse. ”

The waiter looked at the black dragon behind me and said sincerely, "You are really a good horse, but why don't you have a bridle?"

"What is that?" I thought to myself, but I didn't ask. I said, "Do you have it here?" I want to wear it. ”

"We don't have it here, you see, there's a shop over there that specializes in saddle bridles, go there. They have good value for money. ”

"Take me there, I want the full set. ”

The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "But I'm still working here, look ......?"

I sneered, threw him a silver coin, and said, "I'm not busy this time." ”

The waiter then smiled and said, "Not busy, not busy, you wait a minute." With that, he ran back to the store to say hello to the other waiters, and then ran over and led me into the saddle rein shop.

I spent 10 gold coins to equip the black dragon with the best saddle, bridle head, farrier and other things, but I didn't ask for a horsewhip, because I didn't think I needed it, the black dragon with this outfit, it looked even more powerful, the guys in the store praised it vigorously, it is worth mentioning that except for me, the black dragon did not let anyone approach it, I pressed its horse's head to reluctantly let those guys help it put on this equipment.

I followed the waiter at the inn to send the black dragon to their stable, personally cleaned the black dragon, fed it some good forage, and then returned to the inn to rest.

After resting for the night, I asked for directions to Dragon City, found my location on the map, and set off again. Fortunately, I didn't go in the opposite direction, although I deviated a little, but after correction, I quickly got on the right path.

With the saddle bridle riding the black dragon is more comfortable, I relaxed the reins to adjust the direction and let the black dragon gallop on its own, if there is no one, the black dragon will maintain a medium speed, once it sees the same kind, it will immediately accelerate, it has to surpass, I didn't expect the horse to have such a strong competitive spirit.

After having the black dragon, the speed has increased by geometric multiples, and the 3000-kilometer journey only took 10 days to arrive, which is still the result of me feeling sorry for it and running slowly.

Finally came to the Dragon City, although it does not look as tall as our Orc Imperial City, but it is also very majestic, the city wall is 8 zhang high, all of which are made of thick granite, carved with dragons of different shapes, and the national flag of the Dragon God Empire is hung high on the city. Probably because this place was already inland, and the defense was very loose, so I entered the city smoothly without checking. Dragon City is really big, several times larger than our orc's imperial city, and it took me three days to get around.

Tiandu Academy is very famous here, and you will know its location as soon as you inquire about it. I first went to Tiandu College to register, and learned that it would take more than 1 month to start the exam, anyway, there was still time, I decided to live first, there are many hotels around Tiandu College, I chose a cleaner one.

Every morning I will practice for a while to remove the armor of the thunder, and in the afternoon I will take the black dragon around, and sometimes go out of the city to slip it, or it will be fat if it eats and sleeps stupidly every day. In the evening, I stepped up my Heavenly Demon Skill, in this enemy country, it is better to reach the strength of the two winged fallen angels as soon as possible, and the outer identity is exposed.

More than a month has passed, although I have worked hard, but the Heavenly Demon Gong is still only in the late stage of the second layer, and it is still very early to transform, because it is necessary to complete the third layer before it can be transformed, it seems that it is useless to be anxious, only to go to Tiandu Academy in the future.

After more than a month of life, I found that there are a lot of samurai and magicians in Dragon City, although I have not fought with magicians, but a few times I have met mages wearing magic robes, I faintly feel their terrible, the level of samurai seems to be very high, it is really a strong country, I was full of confidence during this period of observation and also a little weak.

In the Dragon God Empire, samurai are divided into ten levels: trainee samurai, junior samurai, intermediate samurai, senior samurai, swordsman, great swordsman, earth knight, light knight, sword master, and god of war. In the same way, starting from the Great Magician, there are also upper, middle, and lower positions. I roughly estimated, if I am a human body, the current strength is also a low-level swordsman, but with my strong body, super defense, how can I be considered a low-level great swordsman, the most ordinary dragon knight should be the middle light knight (not counting the dragon), and the most ordinary fallen angel should also be the lower light knight, but also the middle dark magician, they plus dark magic and the light knight who rode the dragon have a fight. I should now be equal to an ordinary Beamon's strength (without madness) but equal to a low-level great swordsman, and they are too far behind, no wonder we have more than 2,000 Beamon warriors and more than thirty fallen angels to compete with those hundred or so dragon warriors.

The exam will start tomorrow, I don't know if I can successfully enter Tiandu Academy, I must continue to strengthen my strength, otherwise our orc clan will not have a future. It was with trepidation that I began my last Heavenly Demon Gong cultivation before the exam.

Actually, what I don't know is that the Dragon God Empire also has his troubles, although the Dragon Knight is very powerful, but it is not born with strong strength like Beamon, as long as it is cultivated a little, he can participate in the battle when he grows up, but it is very difficult to cultivate a Dragon Knight, and the Dragon God Empire has spent countless resources and energy to barely keep the number of Dragon Knights at about 100. This is also the reason why he does not feel rash to attack the two countries of demons and beasts, once his dragon knight is dead, he will have no advantage, and he will inevitably be broken by the demon beast alliance.

I woke up from my cultivation, changed into a brand new samurai costume, and after a hearty meal, I came to the destination of my trip, Tiandu Academy.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the college, I froze, no, there are so many people, there are thousands of people, but I heard from the people there last time that only 300 students will be admitted, that is, almost one out of ten will be selected.

I took the admission ticket I got when I signed up - a fast wooden sign, with No. 1 written on the front (of course No. 1 when I came to register more than a month ago), and the words Tiandu College engraved on the back. Walking into the college, the room here is big enough, there is still a lot of open space to accommodate so many candidates, the time for the exam has not yet arrived, and the candidates don't know what they are talking about, maybe guessing the question of the exam.

A clear voice sounded: "Candidates who come to take the exam, please be quiet, and line up from east to west according to your number plate, with 50 people in each row." ”

I hurriedly looked around for someone to speak, what a loud voice, who has such strong skills. Later, I learned that this is a magic broadcast made by amplifying the Philosopher's Stone, which can amplify the sound by tens or hundreds of times.

I haven't found it for a long time, forget it, let's line up first, I'm No. 1, it should be the first in the first row.

Which voice came again, or the same words: "Candidates who come to take the exam, please be quiet, and line up from east to west according to your number plate, with 50 people in each row." ”

After doing this three times, the team was arranged, I probably counted more than 60 rows, more than 3,000 people, really 1 out of 10, Tiandu College is really famous, the entrance exam is so difficult. (Almost all the generals of the Dragon God Empire are students from the four major academies, especially the Dragon Knight.) The dragon knight is no longer simply a symbol of strength, he is also a symbol of honor and power. In the Dragon God Empire, the dragon knight has very great rights, and the lowest title is also the viscount. Since the three marshals are the pillars of the empire, they have the title of duke, and if a commoner wants to become a nobleman, cultivating Jackie Chan Knight is definitely the best choice, and the four academies are the most solid pedal. οΌ‰

"Okay, everyone should distance themselves from each other, and they should be about 1.5 meters apart. After a while, the candidates on the field were all lined up according to the requirements.

At this time, more than 20 people came, all of whom seemed to be invigilators, and they didn't know what to test.

"From now on, all candidates will not move, remain in a standing position, and will not be allowed to move until they can no longer be supported, and the last remaining 1,000 candidates will advance to the next round. As soon as this sentence came out, the whole field immediately exploded, and all the candidates began to talk about it.

"What kind of exam is this, it's just a penalty station. ”

"Damn, it's the first time I've heard of a standing test. ”

"What the hell is this school, I knew I wouldn't have come so far away. ”

I also thought to myself, this is too easy, what's the big deal about just standing, forget it, just stand.

"Candidates, please be quiet, standing is a test of physical strength and will, whether you learn combat skills or magic, you can't do it without good physical strength and firm will, if you are dissatisfied with the academy's examination methods, you can withdraw at any time. ”

It's really a cow, it's worthy of a graduate school, let's stand. Although there was a lot of noise just now, after listening to this passage, no one was willing to give up, after all, it was too embarrassing to quit before showing their strength.

At first, everyone felt relatively relaxed, and although it was summer, the morning was still relatively cool. However, as time passed, the sun gradually climbed directly above, and the temperature on the field skyrocketed.

Sweat was running down my face, and although there wasn't much discomfort, the feeling of heat still made me feel bad. Luckily, I'm wearing a light-colored samurai suit today, otherwise it would have been even worse. I peeked at the other candidates, the quality is really high, from the morning to now it has been more than 2 hours, and no one has withdrawn.

The invigilator teacher was divided into two groups, each invigilating for about 1 hour, and then exchanging breaks, at this time, a female candidate moved slightly, and was immediately discovered by a middle-aged invigilator. He pointed his finger at her and said, "You, out." "It's so strict, you can't move it lightly.

Two hours passed, and the temperature gradually dropped with the setting sun, but after a day of not eating or drinking and fighting the hot weather, the stomach had long been disobedient, and there was a constant "grunt, grunt" on the field. It's actually better to say something about not eating, but sweating for a day and not drinking water really makes me a little uncomfortable. So far, more than 200 candidates have withdrawn, not even a tenth, and this will be how long it will take.

Time flies really slowly, and it is not easy to stay up until the evening, and the breeze blows gently, which is much more comfortable. It has become a habit to practice the Heavenly Demon Gong every night, and standing is also standing anyway, so it is better to practice. I glanced left and right, and almost all of the candidates were fighting against their bodies with their eyes closed.

I also closed my eyes and quietly began to run the dark power in my body, the first stage of the Heavenly Demon Gong will not be released when I cultivate, so I am not afraid that someone can see it from the outside, I feel that the dark elements around me are constantly converging, the cold feeling gradually enters the meridians from the skin, and then runs slowly according to my luck route, it is really a comfortable feeling, as if the fatigue of the day has disappeared, and the demand for food and water is not so strong, it turns out that the Heavenly Demon Gong still has this benefit, I urge the Heavenly Demon Gong to run according to a fixed route, and the spirit gradually concentrates and enters the center。

When I woke up from the meditation, it was already morning, and I was not feeling unwell except for some hunger and thirst. I looked at the people around me, although there were not many exits, all the candidates had a shaky feeling, each face was pale, I took a soft breath and closed my eyes.

It's noon again, it's still a good day, the sun is high in the sky, but it's not a good thing for us candidates.

With the experience of last night, I hurriedly adjusted the dark power, although the effect of cultivating the Heavenly Demon Skill during the day was much worse, but it brought me a cold feeling, and it was much easier to cope with this hot weather than yesterday.

In the afternoon, the candidates began to withdraw in batches, and most of them were carried out, the sun gradually set, and the clouds in the distance became so beautiful in the reflection of the setting sun.

"Candidates have worked hard, the first round of the exam is now over, please take your number plate to the invigilator to register, and then go back to rest, and come back to the second round of the exam the day after tomorrow. ”

It turned out that there were only 1,000 people left who had been eliminated, and all the candidates were relieved and sat on the ground with a butt, of course, I would not be an exception, although my physical strength was maintained better than theirs, but my limbs had not moved for two days and one night, and I had already stiffened, and I sat on the ground and moved my stiff body slightly.

"Attention candidates, now the invigilator will register with you one by one, please cooperate. Sure enough, more than 10 invigilators scattered and began to register the remaining candidates. The first one, of course, was me, and I handed over the number plate and said, "I'm number 1." The invigilator looked at me and smiled, "The young man is very strong." I just smiled and didn't answer.

At this time, I don't know that from there came a lot of people dressed in chef's clothes, carrying a lot of trays covered with cloth, and some large buckets, dishes, and so on. Did they bring us food?

Sure enough, the clear voice said: "This is the porridge and steamed buns prepared by the academy for you, please go back and rest as soon as possible after eating." "It's really delicious, I took advantage of my position in front of me to rush forward, grabbed a big bowl, scooped out a bowl of porridge from the bucket, and drank it. Comfortable, really comfortable, I have never felt that porridge is so delicious. Before everyone could fully gather around, I drank three more bowls in a row, then took one bowl and three steamed buns and ran aside to enjoy them.

The stomach has bottomed up and the physical strength has recovered a lot, ah, by the way, it's been two days, the black dragon hasn't been fed yet, I want to go back quickly, it must have an opinion on me. When I got back to the inn, I quickly asked for some forage and ran to the stable, and the black dragon hissed when he saw me, and licked my face vigorously with its big tongue, "I'm sorry for you, eat it quickly, it's all good forage." ”

After serving the black dragon, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep on the haystack in the stable.
