The sun is scorching, and the breeze is blowing.

On a gravel-paved road, the sound of horses' hooves sounded 'click, click, click', and a group of heavily armed silver-armored knights were seen galloping, and a black boy in a gray blue-collared shirt rode a white horse to lead alone.

Sir Colin and his men could only keep out of reach, flapping their horses and desperately chasing after them. The mounts under these knights were all tall, muscular horses, but they could never keep up with Brandt's companion Lightning. Lightning is a pure snow horse with a noble bloodline, and it is also the fastest war horse in the entire Vyax Big 6. The name Lightning was not given to it by Brandt, but was a nickname for all pure snow horses, in praise of their thunderous and lightning run.

Pure snow horses belong to a rare species. The fur of all pure snow horses is snow white, and there is no variegation on the whole body, hence the name pure snow horses. All of this is produced in the animal taming pastures in the southern part of the Cania Federation, and there are no more than 2,000 horses in the entire Cania Federation.

Lord Landon Tully, the ruler of the Plains of Grass, Duke of Twilight Valley, used more than 1,600 horses just to equip the two iron cavalry troops under the family's Storm Knights and Lightning Knights. The remaining few hundred pure snow horses are used to breed offspring, and only a very small number of pure snow horses are given as gifts to others by Lord Lanton.

The horse was originally a birthday present from Duke Philip seven years ago at a dinner party for Duke Philip's sixtieth birthday. However, Brandt did not expect that his grandfather would actually transfer the pure snow horse to him, who was only 7 years old at the time, instead of his cousins Gavin Islam or Jensen Islam.

There is a proverb among the people of the Cannia Federation: It is difficult to buy a pure snow horse for a thousand dollars, and it is not a fast wind leopard to be sold for ten thousand dollars.

What is the concept of 1,000 gold krona?

The basis of the common currency of this world is the copper peso, 1oo copper pesos is equivalent to 1 silver vern, and 2o silver pesos is equivalent to 1 gold kroner.

An average worker's daily wage is about 3o-5o copper pesos, while a farmer's income of a family of 4 is about 1o gold crowns a year. In other words, a peasant household of four people can earn this amount by working hard for a hundred years without eating or drinking. Even for a baronial nobleman with a fief, a thousand gold crowns was a lot of money for him.

In the eyes of the knights, the value of a pure snow horse is far greater than that, and perhaps it is not something that can be measured by money at all, because not everyone is entitled to own it.

By this time they had ridden dozens of miles along the straight stone path, and Sir Colin and his men had long since been left far behind by Brandt. A lush forest on the right side of the stone path appeared in front of his eyes, only to hear the sound of rustling in the woods, and when he looked up, he could see a group of birds and beasts flying in all directions.

Suddenly, a fat gray brown bear suddenly sprang out of the dense forest. Several thick arrow feathers stuck in its thick fur, and the blood that flowed down the wound had dyed its gray fur a bright red.

The frightened Pure Snow Horse hissed and stopped urgently, its entire body leaning back and erecting its two forelimbs high. Brant, on horseback, clamped his pedals and grasped the reins in his hand.

The bleeding grizzly bear on the other side was grinning at him, and Brant gently stroked Lightning's supple fur to reassure it not to panic. He looked at the angry grizzly bear in front of him, and guessed that the big creature must have thought of himself as the hunter who rounded it up.

The enraged grizzly lunged its thick and powerful limbs towards the human on the other side, and just as its massive body was about to pounce in front of the other, a shield of crystal clear ice appeared in front of it. In the blink of an eye, its black bear head slammed into the hard, heavy ice wall.

The intact white ice wall was also smashed into cracks by the grizzly bear, which shows how strong this big grizzly bear is. The big grizzly bear that fell to the ground drove its body to get up from the ground, it first shook its dizzy head, and then roared a few times in a low voice at the opposite side, just when Brant thought that the big black bear was completely enraged, but the next second the big black bear turned around and fled.

Brand, who was still sitting on horseback, couldn't help but chuckle, and he suddenly felt that this big grizzly bear was really cute.

At this moment, a blue man with a bow and sword suddenly came out of the woods, and the position where he was standing just blocked the way of the big black bear.

The six-foot-tall blue man said hatefully, "Look where you're going, until I slaughter you, and I'm peeling off your black skin to make a bearskin cloak." He took off the hunting bow behind his back, pulled out a thick arrow feather from the quiver, attached it to the bowstring, and shot it at the big grizzly bear in front of him.

Instead of hitting the grizzly bear's massive body, the arrows that galloped away fell to the ground after hitting a sharp ice pick, shattering it. Or rather, that ice pick hit it.

Magician?Roy glared at the boy across from him in some surprise, and he yelled angrily, "What's the matter with you, why did you shoot down my arrows?" ”

The big grizzly bear who was cowering was like a frightened big greyhound at the moment, obediently leaning down, lying on the ground and looking up at the black boy on horseback with a pitiful look.

Brandt rolled over and dismounted, and said in a sincere tone, "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything, it's just—" He hesitated for a moment before continuing "... Don't want this big grizzly bear to get hurt. ”

Roy's brows tightened suddenly, a little annoyed, "It's my prey, not your pet," and finally he didn't forget to tease, "Kind noble lord." Then he pulled another arrow from the quiver and aimed it at the black head of the big grizzly bear in front of him.

Brandt stretched out his palm, and without moaning the incantation, another ice pick coalesced in the palm of his steaming hand. He raised his hand and swung forward, and the icicle sped away in an instant, hitting the arrow that flew towards the grizzly bear with unmistakable accuracy.

"What do you mean?" Roy ran over angrily, glaring at him angrily, "Are you bullying?"

"As I said, I don't want this big grizzly bear to get hurt. Brandt once again stated his position.

"A ferocious beast, you actually sue me, you want to protect it?" Roy sneered with a look of disdain, "Hypocritical noble lord, maybe you also want to make a bearskin cloak?"

Brant didn't get angry because of the other party's mockery, and it was indeed wrong for him to do it. He thought for a moment, then said slowly, "I can pay 5o gold kronor for this big grizzly bear as if I bought your prey." "In Brant's common sense, hunters hunt for nothing more than food and clothing, and 5o gold crowns are enough to buy two bearskin cloaks of excellent quality.

Roy smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "Oh! the gods favor! I was lucky enough to meet a rich and generous nobleman," and then his face changed, and he snorted coldly to show contempt, "Keep your stinky money! You think I'm in it for money?"

Brandt tried his best to hide his indignation at being provoked by the other party, and said in a calm tone, "Then what can you do?"

Roy first put the longbow behind his back, then rolled his pale green eyes to look at the young man in front of him, "You come to a duel with me," he pulled out the long sword he wore at his waist, and said categorically, "If you can win against me, I will leave this big black bear to you." "He wanted to teach this guy who annoyed him a lesson.

Brant glanced down at the thick pool of blood next to the big grizzly bear's body, "Can you let me help it deal with its wounds first?" ”

Roy flatly rejected him, "No need, even if you help it stop the bleeding, I will still kill it." "He thinks his sword skills are more than enough to deal with a magic apprentice who can play a little spell.

A wry smile crossed the corner of Brandt's mouth, "Then I have to defeat you in the shortest possible time." ”

"It's not a small tone," Roy said with a sinking face, without showing weakness, "I hope your spells are as powerful as your tongue." ”

Brandt took a few steps back, a few dozen feet away from the other party, and then pulled the hardcover book, which was slightly larger than his palm, from his shirt, and turned the first page.

Suddenly, a flash of blue light flashed, and a sharp sword wrapped in blue flames was held in Brant's palm.

Roy was startled, "What is this?" he was surprised by the sudden change, "A burning sword? you think I'll be intimidated by your little trick?" he was talking to himself like a mouthy crow at the moment.

Brandt ignored the sarcasm, feeling like a chicken wing grilled on the stove with his right hand, hot beads of sweat oozing from the pores of his skin. He only thought about the battle, and he didn't know how long he would be able to hold this flaming sword.

At this time, Roy on the opposite side had already raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at him, and he decided to make a surprise attack first.

Seeing this, Brandt hurriedly raised his sword and slashed the blade sideways, and in the blink of an eye, the two sharp swords collided heavily.

With a "bang", I saw the long sword in Roy's hand shattered into two pieces.

Brant and Roy looked at the swords in their hands in amazement.

Brant didn't expect this magic sword to be so powerful, and a hasty collision slashed the other sword in two. Roy, on the other hand, thinks that the iron sword in his hand is vulnerable because it is an inferior weapon, and hates the black-hearted merchant in his heart.

Brant's expression recovered from his surprise, and he saw the right moment to slash at the opponent's right shoulder.

Roy woke up suddenly, and raised his sword to resist by inertia, and suddenly realized that the iron sword in his hand was only half of the sword body. Sharp blades flashed in front of him, and he couldn't stop Brandt's onslaught.

Suddenly, a burning sensation spread through his body. He glanced at it, and now the leather armor on his right shoulder was burned into a large hole, and wisps of black smoke were emitting, and he smelled the smell of burnt cowhide and rotting flesh.

Brandt didn't want to hurt the other party, and didn't slash the flaming sword in his hand on the opponent's right shoulder. Instead, it lightly touched the opponent's leather armor, and even then it caused a bloody flesh wound to Roy's right shoulder.

This was not what he expected. Seeing this, Brant hurriedly withdrew his sword blade and hurriedly explained, "Are you okay, I didn't expect it to be ......"

Roy interrupted him with pain, "Isn't it just a little scratch on the skin? this little injury is nothing," he smiled slightly, and said a little casually, "You win, this guy is yours." ”

Brant opened the spellbook and put the flaming sword back inside. I saw a miniature version of the flaming sword printed on it. Then he walked up to the big black bear, crouched down and reached out to pull out the arrow inside it, but now the big grizzly bear was roaring at him, and the sharp jagged teeth almost bit his arm.

Brant thought to himself that he might have hurt it, but he had no other way, and if he didn't get the arrows out of his flesh, the grizzly bear might not last long.

After Roy bandaged the wound on his right shoulder, he couldn't help but say, "Help me hold its head down and prevent this guy from biting me." He didn't want to be taken revenge on by the big black bear.

"Oh. Brant stepped aside, then clasped his hands and pressed the big black bear's head.

Roy pulled out a sharp dagger from the scabbard attached to the belt, then cut a handful of solidified hair next to the arrow, and after cleaning the hair around the two arrows, Roy used the blade of the dagger to slowly cut through the flesh of the grizzly bear, and then took the arrow from the flesh.

The grizzly bear shook its head in pain, its limp trying to support its fat body. But it was weakened by excessive blood loss, and some of its bodies were weak. Otherwise, Brant's lean arms alone would not have been able to hold down the beast, which weighed more than 3oo pounds.

After Roy took both arrows out, he took out a glass bottle containing the powder and a ball of gauze from his backpack. He sprinkled white powder on the grizzly bear's flesh to stop the bleeding, then wrapped the wound in gauze.

"Then it shouldn't die. Roy got up and patted the black bear fur stuck to him, shrugged and said, "Roy de Nia, what about you?"

"Brant Tyrrell," he asked, puzzled, "are you from the kingdom of Bunoa?"

Roy nodded undeniably, "Aren't you curious, why would a Bunoa appear in the territory of the Canian Federation?"

"Nope. Brandt wasn't surprised.

The Kingdom of Bunoa and the Commonwealth of Cania are two military powers bordering each other, and there is a narrow border that connects the two countries closely. The two countries have traded with each other and have coexisted peacefully for hundreds of years. It is not surprising that the Bunoa appeared on the territory of the Cania Federation.

Hearing this answer, Roy's face was a little disappointed. A lot of the lines he had prepared to show off didn't work.

Brandt chuckled dryly, "Again." ”

Roy suddenly looked radiant, and his face was straight, "I'm a ranger, do you know a ranger?"
