Chapter 458: Halfway Race

If there is a city popularity ranking list in the Faeron Continent, the number one one must be Deep Water City, which is nicknamed the City of Radiance.

Many hillbillies who have never been ten kilometers out of their village in their lives also know the name and are full of yearning for this megacity.

Some people say that Waterdeep is a land of wealth, wealth here is like flowing water, as long as you are willing to bend down, you can easily earn your own wealth.

Some people say that Waterdeep is a hell on earth, and it will squeeze all the gold coins out of your pocket, and roll out of the dust, where you came from, and go back to where you came from.

Half Moon Pony has also heard of Waterdeep for a long time, and when he heard that Gavin was going to Waterdeep, he was excited.

Especially at the end of the teleportation, the super metropolis was close at hand, and he couldn't help but snort, and said excitedly: "Sit down, let's go." ”

"Wait, it's in the wrong direction, follow the trade road and head northeast." Gavin took a look at the surroundings and judged the exact direction.

"Aren't we going to Waterdeep?" Half Moon Pony's face was full of bewilderment, and Gavin was pointing in the direction away from Waterdeep.

"Waterdeep is only providing teleportation coordinates for Lady Veranica, it's not the destination of our trip." Gavin patiently explained.

"Ahh Half Moon Pony's disappointed look was obvious, his eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but propose, "It doesn't matter if Waterdeep City isn't our destination, we can go there and take a look." ”

"I don't have any business over there for the time being, so I won't consider it for the time being." Gavin's reaction was very cold, "Believe me, as a strange visitor, in Waterdeep, you can't go to many places, and many alleys are more dangerous than the wild, if you want to appreciate the style of Waterdeep, there will be opportunities in the future, but not now." ”

When he first came to Waterdeep City in his previous life, he was not much less excited than Half Moon Pony, but when he actually entered it, he found that the survival rules of this kind of metropolis were much harsher than those of those small cities.

It's a land of wealth, provided you have enough capital and ability.

If you are not careful, the wealth you bring will become a source of wealth for others.

Hearing this, Half Moon Ju's interest suddenly dissipated by half, and he said a little aggressively: "Then where are we going?" ”

"Anfil Mamura!" Gavin's goal was clear: "Just fly along the long road, and when you see a village with more horses than people, we'll be there." ”

Anfil Village, nicknamed Horse Village, lives up to its name.

It's uncertain if it's the largest horse farming village in the Northland, but it's definitely the most famous.

It's not just the light of Waterdeep, it's also because of the abundance of good horses produced here.

The Roinghearn horses produced by the Roinhern family have always maintained the title of the fastest war horses in the whole of Faerun, and in many horse races, you can see the Roinhearn war horses leading the way.

There is a wise saying here that the only one who can break the record for the fastest Roinghearn horse is another Roinghearn horse.

Legend has it that the Roinhearn family mastered a unique magic breeding technique to breed the world's best war horses.

There is also a legend that the Roinghearn horses are not just war horses, but are a mixture of other horse species, which gives them unique speed.

Along the way, the number of horses they saw was indeed a bit scary.

On the fields on both sides of the long road, there will be a herd of horses galloping past from time to time, as few as dozens, as many as hundreds, and even a herd of horses has exceeded thousands, rumbling from the field galloping through, the scene is extremely spectacular.

No one would think that these herds were ownerless wild horses.

There were no wranglers on the ground, but there were in the sky, and every now and then a Pegasus knight would pass by.

Several of them even became interested in Gavin and Half Moon and wanted to get closer, but they were all thrown off by Half Moon Pony.

The purpose of Gavin's trip is simple and clear, which is to find the inheritance of the Arcane Spirit Master and start the path to advancement, and he doesn't want to make any extraneous branches.

But sometimes, trouble is not something you can avoid if you want to avoid it, especially if the Half Moon Pony has a special physical appearance.

In a horse breeding area, it is most likely to attract all kinds of attention.

Six more Pegasus Knights appeared directly in front of Gavin.

The six Pegasus Knights all have long straight hair and wear robes of different colors and strange styles, none of them look very large, between girls and women, they are the best age, and they exude vigor and vitality.

The appearance is above the horizontal line, beautiful and dignified, but Gavin's perception is very strong now, and in the case of tailwind, he can vaguely hear their comments on himself, and there is no lack of tiger and wolf words in it.

After peers get together, they will show a little unscrupulous, whether they are men or women.

"Catch up." Gavin sighed and patted the half-moon pony on the forehead.

It is impossible to avoid it, because the six people in front of them are the out-and-out head snakes of Anfil Village, the family mages of the Roinhearn family stationed here, and they are responsible for guiding the entire Roinhearn family's horse farm patrol.

Their notoriety here is still quite prominent.

This kind of evil is not vicious in the ordinary sense, but their ability to be naughty.

In fact, from their point of view, it is understandable.

They are all the same age as the flower season, and the world-famous metropolis is close at hand, but they do not have the opportunity to go shopping, enjoy flowers, drink tea and beautiful young people like ordinary aristocratic girls, but in a small village full of horse manure, they do boring and boring patrol work every day.

They can only find ways to find a little fun for themselves.

Every strange face who comes here is estimated to be taken care of by them.

Especially the charming beautiful boy who looks about the same age as them at his own age, and he also has a somewhat unusual Pegasus.

Even if he throws them off with the speed of the half-moon foal now, and when he turns his head and meets them in Anfil Village, it will make the trouble even bigger, so it is better to solve it directly here.

After the two sides drew closer, Gavin politely performed a standard human aristocratic etiquette and said, "A few beautiful young ladies, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

When they arrived, the six beautiful girls put away their excessive manners and words, and they were as dignified as they were, and as ladies.

The leader said a little older: "I'm very sorry, I took the liberty to stop Mr., mainly because my sisters are young and ignorant, and when they see that Mr.'s mount is a little extraordinary, they want to try it out." ”

"Oh?" Gavin asked calmly, "What's the test?" Are there rewards and punishments or anything like that? ”

"The method of the competition is very simple, it depends on who gets to Anfil Village first." The first Pegasus Knight smiled and said, "As for the rewards and punishments, we were originally just for fun, and we were not prepared for rewards and punishments, since Mr. proposed it, then let's set up one now, if Mr. wins, you can choose one of our sisters at will, as an escort, and take you to visit the entire Anfil Village." ”

"What if I lose?"

"If the gentleman loses, go to the Antler Pot Tavern and treat our sisters to a glass of the best sherry, what do you think?" The first Pegasus Knight said in a negotiable tone, "The best sherry, sell four gold coins for a glass at the Antler Pot Tavern." ”

For ordinary people, a glass of sherry wine for four gold coins is definitely sky-high, but for a noble young master riding a pegasus and wearing extraordinary equipment, it is just a drizzle.

After listening to the other party's rewards and punishments, Gavin couldn't help but smile and said, "This kind of reward and punishment is too unfair!" ”

The other party really just had a playful mentality, and didn't want to take the opportunity to cheat and win the ownership of the Half Moon Pony directly from him.

In such a bureau, there is naturally no need to spoil their fun.

It's better to have a new group of Snake Friends than a bunch of enemies.

"Unfair?" The Pegasus Knight Maiden said with a stunned face, "Where is the fairness?" If you think the price of sherry is too high, we can change it, and the zar wine is also made, which only requires a gold coin for a glass. ”

Gavin shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not talking about the price of wine, I'm saying that I take advantage, because it is a great honor to be able to invite six beautiful ladies to drink at the same table, and this reward of yours directly makes you invincible." ”

"Mr. is really good at talking, and at a glance you know that he is a master of coaxing girls." The Pegasus Knight Maiden couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed.

The other five young Pegasus knights couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that the stranger in front of them was more interesting and pleasing to the eye.

No one doesn't like to be complimented, especially at this wonderful age.

"At this point, you are really wrong, the last thing I can do is to coax girls." Gavin said with a serious face, "I'm just telling the truth, in this way, let's change the reward, if you win, I will invite you to have a drink, but not sherry, but my estate's own wine, if you lose, I will still invite you to drink, by the way, please ask the six of you to be my escort together." ”

Gavin's proposal can be described as comprehensive.

Win or lose, it will only bring the two sides closer and not offend either of them.

"Is the gentleman really stupid or is he pretending to be stupid?" The young Pegasus Knight pursed her lips and smiled.

Escorts have a double meaning in Faerun, they can be both incomparably formal tour guides and more relatable playmates.

If a woman takes the initiative to use this word, it is usually a hint that you can launch a pursuit offensive against her, and she will push the boat with the flow.

Gavin changed the bet contract to directly deny this deep meaning, after all, he can't pursue six ladies at the same time, right?

That's too greedy.

"What? You don't agree? "Gavin is playing dumb, of course.

He's only been in need of this aspect lately, and he's not become a brainless stallion, and he wants to be on it when he sees beautiful women, especially before he came out, he just learned his hand-to-hand combat skills with Daphany, who has been strengthened in the Tower of Domination and thinks that his level has improved, and is now in the time of a half-sage.

Although the six in front of him are all above the passing line, exuding a youthful and beautiful atmosphere, there is really no one like Regina, even if it is a large number of half-elf girl arch guards, it is still eye-catching, and I can't help but focus my eyes on her, and the others have become green leaf decorations.

"I'm not alone in the bet, wait until I ask my sisters." The girl Pegasus Knight turned to look at the other five girl Pegasus Knights.

"I'm okay with that."

"I'm okay with that."

"That's it, no matter if you win or lose, you will have free alcohol to drink."

The other five young Pegasus riders responded with a grin, not much resistance to Gavin's proposal.

Gavin's special ability female friend only makes it easier for those women to have a good impression of him, and it has not yet reached the point of love at first sight.

Most of these young girls Pegasus knights have a playful heart, and they act together to make them more open.

"Then it's decided." The leading girl, Pegasus Knight, turned her head to look at Gavin and said, "Run!" ”

After shouting, the spell in his hand flashed, and an acceleration technique was already cast on his Pegasus mount.

The Pegasus mount she sat on immediately got the command, and with a long hiss, it vibrated its wings, and its speed soared to the extreme in an instant.

"Big sister is cheating."

"I knew Orila was going to use this trick, but luckily I was prepared."

"Haha, this time first, it must be mine."

"If you want to take the first place, first control your mouth and keep your own weight right, you don't see that it is getting more and more difficult for Leila to fly."

"Shut up, I want you to take care of it."

"Haha, little Auronie has been poked in the sensitive spot."

The other five young Pegasus knights giggled and slapped their Pegasus mounts, flapped their wings and flew high, and successively activated the acceleration technique, but the timing of the use was different.

There are some like the first one, which is used as a starting power before the Pegasus speed starts.

There are also those who use Pegasus to increase its maximum speed after it has become faster.

Another person launched a dive, quickly increasing the speed of the Pegasus to an extreme, and then applied it to its body, helping it slowly pull back up.

This little trick directly made her a frontrunner, after all, the acceleration brought by the dive is still quite impressive.

These six girls who don't look too old, all mages, have at least six professional levels.

The Acceleration is a three-ring spell.

They didn't use wands or anything like that, they were all using their own spell casting powers.

This is the essence of the big family, even if it is a family that raises horses on the outskirts of Deep Water City, it cannot be underestimated, and the mages supported by the family are also remembered.

Behind so many mid-level mages, there will inevitably be a mage of transcendent or above sitting nearby.

"Luna, hold on a little ......"

Half Moon Pony didn't give Gavin a chance to finish his speech at all, and snorted.

An explosion rang out out of thin air.

A large amount of the force of nature erupted from behind her and from her wings.

In just a few seconds, the speed is at its extreme.

This time, the Half Moon Pony completely ignored the consumption, and the free sprint did not stop because the speed increased to the extreme, and still desperately gushing, making her speed reach an unprecedented extreme.

Gavin couldn't even speak, so he leaned on his back, hugged Luna's neck, and held his body tightly.

The challenge of these young Pegasus knights did not arouse Gavin's competitive heart, but it completely provoked the Half Moon Pony.

She is not a pure mount, but an intelligent creature, since she was a child, she has not raced with other creatures, and she does not have much idea of her current speed.

As soon as you get started, of course, you have to do your best.

The amazing speed displayed by the Half Moon Pony almost didn't knock off the jaws of the six teenage Pegasus Knights.

With a bang, it only took dozens of seconds for the Half Moon Pony to catch up with the latecomers, throw them behind their butts, and it took dozens of seconds to pull the distance between the two sides to more than 100 meters.

No matter how they urged the Pegasus under their crotch, even if they used several acceleration techniques in a row, they could still only watch each other's figures get smaller and smaller, which was a sign that the distance between the two sides was further widening.

In the face of absolute strength, all the little tricks are ornaments.

Due to the harmony of the wilderness, the base speed of the Half Moon Pony itself has been blessed, and it has far surpassed its mother Pegasus.

Her natural blessed state now belongs to Chang Qi, and Misty Noel now has a huge amount of corrupt power for her to transform.

The speed is further stacked, coupled with the acceleration horseshoe (this is equivalent to the usual acceleration technique, casting the acceleration technique on Luna, it will conflict with the ability of this magic equipment, directly covering each other, and only the stronger one will take effect), her speed is directly double that of most Pegasus.

The Pegasus of the Roinhearn family, although carefully bred and has a flight speed that surpasses that of ordinary Pegasus, is far from the level of evil.

Seeing that his opponent was completely gone, the Half Moon Pony stopped his free sprint and returned to his normal flight speed.

Gavin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said Miss Luna, you don't need to be so faceless, you have to deal with it later!" ”

Luna snorted and sneered, "Don't worry, those six little mares in heat will stick to you even tighter, because they can't resist anger in the face of absolute crushing." ”

"That's all it is, let's hope so." Gavin couldn't help but correct, "The name of the little mare in heat is too ugly, I hope you will guard them not to say that." ”

"I'm just telling the truth." The half-moon horse, who is usually very good at talking, is a little stubborn today.

"Do you have a problem with them?" Gavin suddenly realized, "Is it related to those six unintelligent flying horses?" ”

The mounts of the six young Pegasus knights are not Pegasus in the true sense of the word.

It is a hybrid of Pegasus and War Horse, inheriting the wings of Pegasus, but not the wisdom of Pegasus.

It's not so much a flying horse as a flying war horse.

Gavin could recognize them at a glance, let alone the half-moon foal, who was half Pegasus.

"Dirty horse breeder!" Half Moon Pony snorted again, and there was a deep dissatisfaction in his words.

Although the Wisdom Horse considers the common horse to be a distant relative, it is not uncommon to see them living together in the wild.

However, the chance of a natural union between the two is even smaller than that between elves and drows.

Because in the eyes of intelligent horses, those horses that do not have intelligence are beasts with the same appearance as them.

You can be a partner, but you can't be a partner, and it's hard to resonate mentally.

Most of all, they have to think about their offspring.

Once the bloodline is defiled, their offspring will be mixed with many unintelligent offspring.

It only takes one generation to be mixed, but if you want to restore pure blood, you need countless generations to dilute it, and it is the kind that can never be completely diluted.
