I am a god in another world
Chapter 461: Halfway Race
If there is a city popularity ranking list in Faerun, the first one must be Waterdeep, nicknamed the City of Glory.
Many country bumpkins who have never left their village for ten kilometers in their lives also know this name and are full of yearning for this super metropolis.
Some people say that Waterdeep is a place of wealth. The 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. It will squeeze out all the gold coins in your pocket, and you will roll out in disgrace and return to where you came from.
Half Moon Ju has also heard about Waterdeep for a long time. When he heard that Gavin was going to Waterdeep, he was very excited.
Especially after the teleportation was over, the super metropolis was so close, and he couldn't help but snorted and said excitedly: "Sit down, let's go."
"Wait, the direction is wrong, follow the business road and go northeast." Gavin looked at the surrounding scene and said after determining the specific direction.
"Aren't we going to Waterdeep?" Half Moon Colt's face was full of confusion. The direction Gavin pointed to was far away from Waterdeep.
"Waterdeep only provides the transmission coordinates for Ms. Veronica. It is not our destination." Gavin explained patiently.
"Ah!" Half Moon Colt's disappointment was obvious. With a turn of his eyes, he couldn't help but suggest, "It doesn't matter if Waterdeep is not our destination. We can go there and take a look."
"I don't have any business there for the time being, so I won't consider it for the time being." Gavin responded coldly, "Believe me, as a stranger, you can't go to many places in Waterdeep, and many alleys are more dangerous than the wild. If you want to appreciate the charm of Waterdeep, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, but not now."
When he first came to Waterdeep in his previous life, he was not much less excited than Half Moon Colt, but when he really entered it, he found that the survival rules of this metropolis were much harsher than those of small cities.
It is true that this is a place of wealth, provided that you have enough capital and ability.
If you are not careful, the wealth you bring will become the source of wealth for others.
Hearing this, the interest of the half-moon colt suddenly dissipated by half, and he said a little hesitantly: "Then where are we going?"
"Horse Village Anfield!" Gavin's goal is very clear, "Just fly forward along the long road. When you see that there are more horses than people in a village, our destination has arrived."
Anfield Village is nicknamed Horse Village, and it is worthy of its name.
It is not certain whether it is the largest horse-raising village in the North, but it is definitely the most famous horse-raising village.
It is not just because of the light of Waterdeep, but also because a large number of good horses are produced here.
The Roinhern warhorse produced by the Roinhern family has always maintained the title of the fastest warhorse in the whole of Faerun. In many horse races, the Roinhern warhorse can be seen leading the way.
There is a wise saying here. The only one who can break the fastest record of the Roinhern warhorse is another Roinhern warhorse.
Legend has it that the Roinhern family has mastered a unique magic breeding technique, which allowed them to breed war horses that are unrivaled in the world.
There are also legends that the Roinhern war horses are not pure war horses, but hybrids of other horse species, which gives them unique speed.
Along the way, the number of horses they saw was indeed a bit scary.
From time to time, there would be herds of horses galloping across the fields on both sides of the long road, ranging from dozens to hundreds. There was even a herd of horses with more than thousands of horses, rumbling across the fields, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
No one would think that these horses were ownerless wild horses.
Although there were no herders following on the ground, there were in the sky, and from time to time a Pegasus knight would pass by.
Several people even became interested in Gavin and the half-moon colt, and wanted to get close to take a look, but they were all thrown off by the half-moon colt.
Gavin's purpose of this trip was simple and clear, which was to find the inheritance of the Orion Master and start the road to advancement, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
But sometimes, troubles are not something you can avoid just because you want to, especially when the half-moon colt has a special appearance.
In a horse farm, it is easiest to attract all kinds of attention.
Six more Pegasus knights appeared in front of Gavin.
The six Pegasus knights all had long straight hair, wearing robes of different colors and peculiar styles. They didn't look very old, between girls and women, at the best age, and exuded vigor and vitality.
Their appearances were all above the horizontal line, beautiful and dignified, but Gavin's perception was very strong now. In the case of a favorable wind, he could vaguely hear their comments on himself, and there were no lack of tiger and wolf words.
When people of the same age gather together, they will appear a little unscrupulous, whether they are men or women.
"Go up to them." Gavin sighed and patted the half-moon colt on the forehead.
There was no way to avoid them, because the six people in front of them were the local bosses of Anfield Village, the family wizards stationed here by the Roinhern family, and they were responsible for leading the entire Roinhern family's horse farm patrol team.
They were quite notorious here.
This kind of evil was not the ordinary viciousness, but their ability to play tricks.
In fact, from their perspective, it was understandable.
They are all in their prime years, and the world-famous metropolis is just around the corner. However, they do not have the opportunity to go shopping, enjoy flowers, drink tea and spend time with beautiful boys under the moonlight like ordinary noble girls. Instead, they are in a small village full of horse manure, doing boring patrol work every day.
They can only find a little fun for themselves.
Every unfamiliar face who comes here will probably be taken care of by them.
Especially the charming beautiful boy who looks about the same age as them, and he also has an unusual Pegasus.
Even if they can get rid of them with the speed of the half-moon colt, if they run into them in Anfei Village, it will make the trouble even bigger. It is better to solve it here directly.
After the two sides got closer, Gavin politely performed a standard human aristocratic etiquette and said, "Dear beautiful ladies, is there anything I can do for you?"
When they got closer, the six beautiful girls all stopped their excessive behavior and talk, and each of them was as dignified and ladylike as they could be.
The slightly older one in the lead said, "I am very sorry for stopping you presumptuously. It's mainly because my sisters are young and ignorant. Seeing that your mount is a bit extraordinary, they are curious and want to compete."
"Oh?" Gavin asked calmly, "How is the competition? Are there any rewards or punishments?"
"The competition method is very simple. It depends on who gets to Anfield Village first." The leading Pegasus Knight smiled and said, "As for rewards and punishments, we originally just had fun and didn't prepare any rewards or punishments. Since you brought it up, let's set one up now. If you are If you win, you can choose one of our sisters as your companion to take you around the entire Anfield Village. "
"What if I lose?"
"If you lose, go to the Antler Pot Tavern and treat our sisters to a glass of the best sherry. What do you think?" The leading Pegasus Knight said in a negotiating tone, "The best sherry is sold at the Antler Pot Tavern for four gold coins a glass."
For ordinary people, four gold coins a glass of sherry is definitely a sky-high price, 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 was indeed just playing around, and didn't want to take the opportunity to cheat and win the ownership of the half-moon colt directly from him.
In such a situation, there is no need to spoil their fun.
It is better to have a group of new local friends than a bunch of enemies.
"Is it unfair?" The Pegasus Knight girl said in astonishment, "What is unfair? If you think the price of sherry is too high, we can change to another one, Zar wine, which only costs one gold coin a cup."
Gavin smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the price of the wine, I'm saying that I'm taking advantage, because it's a great honor to invite six beautiful ladies to drink at the same table. Your reward will directly make you invincible."
"Sir is really good at talking. You can tell at a glance that you are a master at coaxing girls." The Pegasus Knight girl couldn't help but smile.
The other five Pegasus Knight girls couldn't help laughing, and they felt that the stranger in front of them was more interesting and more pleasing to the eye.
No one doesn't like to be complimented, especially at this beautiful age.
"You are really wrong about this. The thing I am least capable of doing is coaxing girls." Gavin said seriously, "I am just telling the truth. Let's change the reward. If you win, I will treat you to a drink, but it is not sherry, but wine brewed by my estate. If you lose, I will still treat you to a drink, and by the way, I will ask the six of you to be my companions."
Gavin's proposal is comprehensive.
Whether winning or losing, it will only bring the two sides closer, and will not offend any of them.
"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?" The young Pegasus Knight smiled.
Companion has a dual meaning in Faerun. It can be a very formal tour guide or a playmate with a deeper relationship.
If a woman takes the initiative to use this word, it usually implies that you can pursue her and she will go with the flow.
Gavin's change of the bet is equivalent to directly denying this deep meaning. After all, he can't pursue six ladies at the same time, right?
That would be too greedy.
"What? You don't agree?" Gavin was of course playing dumb.
He just had a higher demand in this aspect recently, and he didn't become a brainless stud who wanted to have sex with beautiful women when he saw them, especially before he came out, he had just exchanged close combat skills with Daphne, who had been strengthened in the Tower of Domination and thought she had improved her level. Now he was in the half-sage time.
Although the six people in front of him were all above the passing line and exuded a youthful and beautiful aura, there was really no one like Regina. Even if there were many half-elf girls guarding her, it was still eye-catching. People couldn't help but focus their attention on her, and the others became the kind of green leaves and decorations.
"I'm not the only one who made the bet. Wait for me to ask my sisters." The girl Pegasus Knight turned her head and looked at the other five girl Pegasus Knights.
"I have no objection."
"I have no objection."
"That's it. Anyway, whether you win or lose, there will be free wine."
The other five female Pegasus Knights responded with laughter, and they did not have much resistance to Gavin's proposal.
Gavin's special ability of female friends only made those women more likely to like him, but it was not to the point of love at first sight.
Most of these female Pegasus Knights were playful, and acting together would make them more relaxed.
"That's it." The leading female Pegasus Knight turned her head and looked at Gavin and said, "Run!"
After shouting, the magic light in her hand flashed, and an acceleration spell was already cast on her Pegasus mount.
The Pegasus mount she was sitting on immediately received the command, neighed long, and vibrated its wings, and the speed instantly soared to the extreme.
"Big sister is playing dirty."
"I knew Aurora would definitely use this trick, luckily I was prepared."
"Haha, the first place this time must be mine."
"If you want to get the first place, you should control your mouth and maintain your own weight first. Don't you see that it is getting more and more difficult for Leila to fly?"
"Shut up, it's none of your business."
"Haha, little Aurora has been poked in a sensitive spot."
The other five female Pegasus knights patted their Pegasus mounts with laughter, flapped their wings and flew high, and gradually activated the acceleration spell, but the timing of use was different.
Some, like the first one, used it as a starting aid before the Pegasus speed started.
Some used it after the Pegasus speed started to increase its maximum speed.
Another one launched a dive, which quickly increased the Pegasus speed to an extreme, and then used it on it to help it slowly pull back.
This little trick directly made her the leader, after all, the acceleration brought by the dive is still considerable.
These six girls, who looked not too old, were all mages, with at least six professional levels.
Acceleration was a third-level spell.
They did not use wands or anything like that just now, all of them were their own spellcasting power.
This was the foundation of a big family. Even a family that raised horses outside Waterdeep City could not be underestimated, and the mages supported by the family were also well-known.
Behind so many intermediate mages, there must be a mage above the extraordinary sitting nearby.
"Luna, hold back a little..."
Half Moon Horse did not give Gavin a chance to finish his words, and snorted.
A loud explosion sounded out of nowhere.
A large amount of natural power gushed out from behind her and her wings.
After just a few seconds, the speed reached an extreme.
This time, Half Moon Horse completely ignored consumption, and the free sprint did not stop because the speed was increased to the extreme. It still gushed desperately, allowing her speed to reach an unprecedented extreme.
Gavin had no time to talk, he could only kneel down, hug Luna's neck, and hold his body tightly.
The challenge of these female Pegasus Knights did not arouse Gavin's competitive spirit, but completely aroused the half-moon colt.
She was not a pure mount, but an intelligent creature. From childhood to adulthood, she had never raced with other creatures, and she did not have much idea of her current speed.
Once she got started, of course she had to do her best.
The amazing speed displayed by the half-moon colt almost made the six female Pegasus Knights drop their jaws.
With a loud noise, the half-moon colt took only tens of seconds to catch up and leave them behind, and then took tens of seconds to pull the distance between the two sides to more than a hundred meters.
No matter how they urged the Pegasus under their crotch, even if they used several acceleration spells in succession, they could only watch the other party's body getting smaller and smaller, which was a sign that the distance between the two sides was further widened.
In the face of absolute strength, all small tricks are decorations.
Due to the wild synchronization, the basic speed of the half-moon colt has been blessed, far surpassing her mother's Pegasus.
Her natural blessing state is now always activated, and Miss Noel now has a huge amount of corrupt power for her to transform.
The speed is further accumulated, and with the acceleration horseshoe (this is equivalent to the always-activated acceleration spell. Casting the acceleration spell on Luna 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 doubled that of most Pegasus.
Although the Pegasus of the Roinhern family has been carefully bred and has a flying speed that exceeds that of ordinary Pegasus, it is far from being a demon.
Seeing that the opponent has been completely left behind, the half-moon colt stopped sprinting freely and resumed its normal flying speed.
Gavin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Miss Luna, you don't have to be so disrespectful to others. We still have to deal with each other later!"
Luna snorted and sneered: "Don't worry, the six estrus mares will stick to you more closely later, because they can't resist or get angry in the face of absolute crushing."
"Things are like this, I hope so." Gavin couldn't help but corrected, "The name of estrus mares is too ugly, I hope you can keep them from saying that."
"I'm just telling the truth." The half-moon colt, who is usually easy to talk to, seems a little stubborn today.
"Do you have any opinions about them?" Gavin suddenly realized, "Is it related to the six Pegasus without wisdom?"
The mounts of the six female Pegasus knights are not Pegasus in the true sense.
It is a hybrid of Pegasus and war horses, inheriting the wings of Pegasus, but not the wisdom of Pegasus.
Rather than Pegasus, they are flying war horses.
Gavin could recognize their origins at a glance, not to mention the half-moon colt with half Pegasus blood.
"Dirty horse breeder!" The half-moon colt snorted again, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his words.
Although the intelligent horses regard ordinary horses as distant relatives, they can often be seen living together in the wild.
But the probability of natural combination between the two is even smaller than that between elves and drow elves.
Because in the eyes of intelligent horses, those unintelligent horses are just beasts with the same appearance as them.
They can be partners, but not partners, and it is difficult to resonate spiritually.
The most important thing is that they have to think about their offspring.
Once the bloodline is tainted, their offspring will be mixed with many unintelligent offspring.
It only takes one generation to mix blood, but if you want to restore pure blood, it will take countless generations to dilute, and it is the kind that can never be completely diluted.
