Take the ride to dominate the game

Chapter 68 Buying a Horse
(The first two chapters have been changed)
"Are you sure you want this horse?"

The owner of the racecourse asked uncertainly.

He is the owner of the largest racecourse in King's Landing City, and he is now accompanying the few nobles who just arrived to watch the horses.

There are still three days before the martial arts competition will start, and it is actually a bit late to choose a mount now.

Therefore, the business of the racecourse is also a bit cold, so he can accompany the customers to choose carefully.

Arthur looked at the giant red horse that looked very much like the Shire horse from his previous life, nodded and said, "That's it."

After he put the sledgehammer in his residence, he and his companions went out to buy horses with their attendants.

Arthur's height is not low, basically there is no one taller than him on the street, but it is only up to the shoulder height of this horse, which shows that he is tall.

What's even more exaggerated is that the horse's muscles are almost as strong as that of a bison, but it is even bigger.

Even a half-ton camel looks much thinner in front of it.

"But this horse's shoulders are too broad, and it will be uncomfortable to ride on."

Desmond is the coach of Riverrun City, so he naturally knew why this kind of giant horse was not adopted by the army as a war horse, and he kindly reminded his companions.

"That's right, besides, this horse is too clumsy. It can only walk and trot, but can't run, so it is much slower than other types of horses." The owner of the racecourse added.

Generally speaking, horses have four-time trot, two-time trot, three-time trot, four-time gait, etc., and the speed increases successively.

As for the special steps such as walking horses, they have to be the skills of a very small number of war horses who have been trained since childhood. It is not beneficial to increase the speed, but only for shock absorption and beauty.

Bronze ware formerly known as "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow" and now renamed "Bronze Galloping Horse", the action of the horse is walking.

Can't run and step, it shows that the speed of this horse is really slow.

But it was just right for Arthur.

Arthur, who was able to move with a hunchback, approved heavy armor, and held a few heavy weapons, was only this kind of giant horse.

"Don't worry about the speed. I'll just buy a faster horse and use it as a mount for riding on weekdays. This horse is specially used for the battlefield. At that time, I will be fully armored, with a big knife and a sledgehammer. The mount It’s okay to be thin.”

Seeing that the customer has made up his mind, the owner of the horse farm did not dissuade him, "As long as you can ride it, I will sell you cheap."

Patrick, who stood aside and observed the giant horse carefully, asked curiously, "Why do you have to ride it to sell it?"

"Although the horse hasn't been sold for a long time after it came into my hands, I can't cheat customers just to make money, right?" the owner of the horse farm explained.

Because this kind of giant horse cannot be used as a war horse, and ordinary farmers cannot afford to support this big guy, the market in Westeros is not big.

Only a few were bought back as pets by fancy noblemen.

The owner of the racecourse originally wanted to sell this giant horse during the tournament to make a little money, but he didn't expect that the knights and nobles in King's Landing would either bring their own horses, or they were picky hedge knights, and they didn't even look like this goods.

And the horse's food intake was extremely astonishing, just the normal cost of feeding the horse grass and concentrated feed made him feel sorry for his silver deer.

Right now, the act of taking advantage of it and wanting to buy it is exactly what he wants, but for the sake of the reputation of the business, he still reminds him.

Arthur approved of these words, which is also a kind man.

"If I form my own cavalry unit in the future, I will give priority to buying horses from you."

"Okay, my lord, my name is Sandra, I can be contacted by all the horse dealers on the east coast of Westeros, if you have a big order, you can definitely find me."

Although Sandra didn't recognize which nobleman's logo the antlers and snake body pattern embroidered on this tall and handsome lord was, she knew this man just by the high-end silk clothes and the noble look on his face. Definitely a wealthy aristocrat.

Maybe it was the illegitimate son of some duke!
After directing the men to lead out the giant red horse, Sandra comforted it first, and then handed over the reins to Arthur.

"Not bad." Touching its smooth and shiny horse hide and muscular muscles, Arthur felt that he had found a treasure.

With a jerk, he jumped onto his horse.

The giant horse naturally refused to be ridden on it, so it began to break free.

But it was a bit clumsy, and it couldn't raise its front hooves to let the person on its back fall off. After twisting a few times, it obediently resigned to its fate.

Although it was uncomfortable for Arthur to spread his legs now, he still rode steadily.

Sandra was very satisfied with the customer's successful behavior on the first try: "It's also because you have a destiny with this horse, and you actually rode it all at once. It hasn't been bought for dozens of days, and it seems to be waiting for you." Woolen cloth."

He picked up some auspicious words and chattered for a long time.

After Arthur felt that he was familiar enough, he dismounted and let his servant lead the giant horse.

When no one is riding on its back, this huge creature is very quiet.

Arthur picked another tall red horse as his usual unarmored mount before paying the bill.

The giant red horse was named "Chitu" by him, and the red horse he rides on a daily basis was named "Delu"

Although the mount problem was solved, a new problem troubled him again.

Lu's saddle was given away for free by Sandra from the horse farm, but Chitu didn't have a saddle because it was too big.

Arthur would have to get a saddle if he wanted to ride this horse in the joust.

Otherwise he will be at a disadvantage.

The vest also had to be ordered, otherwise there would be no such good time to make all the preparations when the war started.

"You can go to Tob's blacksmith shop and let him find a way, although it's a bit expensive." Desmond suggested.

Arthur also thought it was feasible, so he asked his servant to lead the horse into the city through the Gate of the Gods, and went to the Steel Street on the top of the hill.

"This big guy is not good at wearing a vest. Besides, we are a blacksmith shop and don't make special saddles, not to mention that the time is only three days."

Tob said so.

Arthur took out three golden dragons and slapped them on the table in front of Taub.

"It's not about money. Although we can build it, we don't have enough time."

Arthur took out three more golden dragons.

"The vest will definitely be made within three days, and it will be the same color as your golden sword. As for the saddle..."

Two more golden dragons appeared on the table.

Now Tob couldn't move his eyes any longer.

The vest is not a huge amount of work, it can be done quickly, and the saddle can also be made by a carpenter friend of his.

"Don't worry, the day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow night, you can come to pick up the goods, and you will never be delayed from participating in the spear riding competition."

"I can already see how you, riding such a huge horse, defeated all your opponents with one shot, and became famous throughout King's Landing and the Seven Kingdoms in one fell swoop."

While gesturing to the apprentices to measure the size of the giant horse, Tob complimented him.

"What you said is extremely correct, and I can't agree more." Arthur accepted the flattery frankly.

Right now, basically all the preparations that should be done are done, just waiting for the tournament to be held.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
