Lord Helanza

Pena City Horse City is located in the southeast corner of Pena City's slum area.

Across the street from the slave market in Pena City, this is the largest horse trading market in Pena Province.

Because of its close proximity to the slum area, this should be regarded as one of the worst security areas in Pena City.

The magic caravan of Luther's house was surrounded by a group of people as soon as it arrived at the gate of the horse market. The carriage husband wanted to use a horse whip to disperse all around the crowd, but those people faced the carriage husband But he didn't care about the scolding, the carriage was forced to stop at the gate of the horse market.

This group of people surrounded the car of the magic caravan. One person reached out and pulled the car door open. They looked like hungry refugees who saw the free food, moved towards Surdak and Heather in the car. Wei and the others shouted hoarsely:

"Sir Lord, do you want to buy war horses?"

"I have high-quality war horses in my hand, all from Gli, Salta Province Selected by the ranch in the Yava region, do you want to take a look..."

"Sir Lord, do you want to see my Qinglin horse. Although it is a retired Old Ma, it is absolutely necessary to bring it back to the horse farm for breeding. No problem."

"Sir Lord, I can find what kind of horse you want..."

The people in the carriage are all here for the first time. Horse market in Pena city.

Beatrice and Hathaway have never been to such a place before, and they were almost speechless by the crowd crowded outside.

The magic caravan was forced to stop. Surdak jumped out of the carriage first. When he saw Surdak's stern face without saying a word, he was clearly dressed in the uniform of the guard camp, and the horse dealers dispersed. , To find other nobles who are going to buy horses.

Hathaway and Beatrice in the carriage also jumped out of the carriage with Surdak.

The entire group walked into the horse market, and the smell of horse manure was everywhere. Fortunately, it was not summer, and there were no gadfly and flies.

Next door is the cattle and sheep market. The cattle and sheep in the market over there are mainly used for eating meat. Would like to drive here early to buy some fresh beef.

A horseman followed Surdak. This horseman was a horseman at the Marquis of Luther’s mansion and was said to be very experienced in watching horses.

I heard that Surdak wanted to visit the horse market in Pena City, and the Marquis of Luther asked Surdak to bring the horseman.

The groom was silent all the way, and he followed Surdak calmly when he came to the horse market.

Many horses in the horse market were fenced up. Several horse farm owners leaned against the fence and chatted. The horses huddled together. The rest of the horses can't be squeezed. There are also some horses tied to wooden stakes. Most of these horses in the horse market are the most common ancient Borai horses. There are also some tall horses. War horses such as Qinglin horses and black scale horses are rare.

There are many people in the horse market. If someone stops by the fence, the owner of the horse will come over and introduce the basic information of these horses. Some people complete the transaction and take the horse away.

The road here is very muddy, the boots are on it, and the bottom of the feet is covered with mud. Fortunately, Hathaway and Beatrice are wearing Swordsman light armor and long leather boots, but even so , The two also had a hard time walking on the muddy dirt road.

Not too far from the entrance of the horse market, Surdak stopped in front of a fence. Inside the fence was a very majestic green horse. The color of the horse looked very good, and the body and muscle lines were good. It was very good. The horse attracted a lot of onlookers. The owner of the horse stood in front of the fence, proudly boasting about the green horse.

Qinglin horse is a very high-quality war horse of the Grimm Empire. It has a stronger physique than the Gubolai horse, and its explosiveness and sprint ability when running are much stronger than that of the Gubolai horse. Son, only in terms of endurance, Qinglin Ma is slightly inferior to Gubolai Ma.

didn't expect When you first walked into the horse market, you would meet such a good war horse.

Surdak stopped and stood behind the crowd to listen to the horse owner’s introduction:

"It was brought back from the Kendah plane. The previous owner was to construct Knight. In the War of Sealing in Wala Valley, he died in the hands of Demon Race Swordsman. The horse was also injured at the time. When he returned from the frontline battlefield, he was almost so thin. Now he has recovered and is in good condition."

Seeing Surdak looking over here, he stretched his neck and introduced Surdak:

"Look how tall it is , The muscles are so tight, if on the battlefield it must be an excellent horse that runs very fast!"

Surdak was a little excited, and asked: "How much are you going to sell?"

The horse owner seemed very interested in seeing Surdak, and immediately separated the crowd onlookers, got close to Surdak, invited him to the fence, let him feel the majesty of this green scaly horse up close, and let him reach out and touch it The blue scale pattern on the horse's chest straightened up and said proudly: "Fifty gold, I only need fifty gold to give this horse! Of course, this saddle is mine and will not be given to you as a gift. !"

Surdak didn’t know how much a green-scale warhorse cost. Hearing the horse owner’s offer, he slightly startled and said, "Uh, it’s so expensive..."

He leaned closer. That Qinglin horse, that horse is not timid, it is obviously a trained war horse.

Surdak asked the horseman behind him: "How about this green horse?"

The horseman of Luther's house squinted his gray eyes and walked forward two steps, squeezing in front of the fence. After careful observation, the horse owner tried to explain to him, but the horseman gave him a cold stare, and then took a step back in disbelief.

The groom whispered in Surdak's ear: "This is a retired horse. Due to long-term battles on the battlefield, the body has accumulated a lot of internal injuries. Even if you buy it back, it won't last long."

The owner of the horse apparently heard what Luther's groom said, but he did not refute it either.

Just whispered beside Surdak: "Even if you can't make it to the battlefield, it's a good horse. It can be brought back to the ranch as a stallion. It will definitely help you earn back this expense."

"You said to be a stallion? This is it?" The Luther family groom glanced at the belly of the Qinglin horse and asked: "Do you think it can be used?"

The owner of the racecourse smiled, his face red and white and stopped answering.

Surdak is not just buying a horse this time. He wants to build a cavalry battalion, at least hundreds of horses are needed.

Seeing that the horseman was really experienced, he decisively gave up the Qinglin horse.

Surdak took Hathaway forward for a section of the road. The Gubrian horses in the fences on both sides looked a little thin. The groom followed Surdak, very mean. Fair price for these thin horses: There may be no problem with carrying bags of wheat, but if you want to carry a Knight with a full armor, it is estimated that these horses will lie down on the spot if they can't take 20 steps.

Passing the group of thin horses, Surdak saw another ancient Borai horse with a tall skeleton tied to a wooden stake in front of him, which looked very powerful.

The owner of the horse enthusiastically introduced the horse to Surdak, saying that it is a very experienced horse.

The Luther's horseman walked to the horse without a sound, stretched out the Gubolai's thick lips, and carefully looked at the teeth inside. The patted horse's head said to Surdak: " This horse is almost eighteen years old!"

The owner of the horse looked at the horseman with an embarrassment on his face and watched the Surdak entire group leave.

The ordinary war horse has gradually entered the old age after fifteen years old. This horse is obviously eliminated from the battlefield.

There is a large group of horses in the fence at the end of the horse market. On the contrary, there is no one beside the fence. This group of horses is obviously more energetic than the other horses in the horse market. It is so cold. God, you can walk around in the fence at will.

"Why is there no one here?" Surdak was a little strange.

The horseman from Luther’s family came up again and explained to Surdak: “These are hybrid horses from the northern warhorses and local horses, and they are all eliminated after screening. They look strong. It's tall, but in the summer it is very afraid of heat. Seeing that there is no meat on its thighs, it shows that its endurance and explosive power are very poor. When charging, it simply can't run. If you don't believe it, you can take a lap in the court."

After stopping the horseman's evaluation, Surdak was a little frustrated. There are nearly a thousand horses in such a big horse market, except for the horses that were eliminated on the battlefield, they are some miscellaneous horses.

"There don't seem to be any good horses here..."

"There are still a few ancient boring horses that can be trained as war horses! But even if I can pick them out, these horses are not the owners. Fool, there is absolutely no bargain for the price." The groom looked at the fence all around the horse market.

Surdak made up his mind to buy some high-quality war horses, and said: "As long as you can become a war horse, it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive!"

The groom went around the horse market again It was almost in the hands of this group of horse owners that they helped Surdak to select less than thirty Gubolai horses. As the horseman said beforehand, the horse owners were obviously reluctant to sell these good horses. , But Surdak is a nobleman. They can’t refuse a nobleman without reason, so they raise the price a bit. Each horse is almost at a high price of more than 20 gold. Surdak hardly makes a counter-offer. The horse selected by the groom was bought, and nearly 800 gold was spent on it.

If it were three months ago, this was almost all of Surdak’s property, but now to Surdak, it is an insignificant small amount of money, at least for the Gold Coin stored in the treasure secret room, 800 Gold Coin is really nothing.

Looking at the racer's reluctant look, it was obvious that he was reluctant to sell it at this price.

The horseman hired two helpers at the horse market. The three of them drove the 30 horses out of the horse market and said to Surdak when they came to the horse market: "It is estimated that this will be a good place for the battlefield. There are only so many horses. Unless a new racer comes, you don’t need to come again within half a month."

Seeing Surdak, it seemed a bit incomprehensible, so he said: "Now the Grimm Empire The control of war horses is also very strict. It is difficult for the horses of good horse farms to flow into the market. Now there are only these Old Ma left in the horse market, and there is no way."

"Master Marquis said, Master Baron If you can't buy war horses in the horse market, you can pick some from the manor outside the family city." The horseman reminded euphemistically.

Surdak lowered his head for a moment, looked at the horses behind him firmly, and insisted: "Let’s take these first!"

These horses cannot be fostered in Pena City , Can only be temporarily fostered in the manor outside the Luther family city. The horseman took two temporary hired helpers to drive the horses out. All three of them are good horsemen, and they can ride firmly even without a saddle. On horseback.

They have to drive these horses to the manor outside the city before it gets dark, so they walk a bit hastily.

There are two ways to ship them back to Helanza. The first is to take a magic airship. This way is convenient and fast, but Surdak needs to pay a very expensive freight, and the other way is I drove back to Helanza City directly from Pena City by land, but it is currently in winter, and there has been a heavy snowfall recently, and it is obviously inconvenient to travel by land.

Now you can only pay the expensive freight and take the magic airship to transport these horses back to Helanza City.

With Hathaway and Beatrice High Level in the magic caravan outside the horse market, sitting in the carriage, thinking that Helanza city does not even have a decent horse market, Surdak is a bit painful Scratching the head, even if you want to buy a horse at a high price, you can't do it. I believe there should be no horse dealer in Helanza who dares to lie to him like this.

Seeing that Surdak seemed to be worried about buying a horse, Hathaway looked at him with magnificent eyes and asked with some doubt: "Why don't you accept my father's gift?"

Surdak stretched his legs flat, took off the mud-stained boots, and threw them on the floor of the car casually.

It ended with Hathaway saying: "Those horses are not in the army, but I guess this should be Legion’s reserve. Once a plane war breaks out, it’s not just Knight who loses every battle. More war horses. If I get five hundred war horses from the Marquis Luther, I guess at least half of Legion’s reserve horses will be taken away. In the future, if this part of the war horses cannot be replenished in time, it will affect Luther Legion’s. Continue to battle strength."

In fact, Surdak didn't say one thing, that is, it did not want the Marquis of Luther to have some influence on his personal armament.

"So I want to look around, maybe someone is willing to sell it to me! You don’t have to worry about my wallet. I found a group of salamanders over there. If I can hunt them all, it should be okay. In exchange for a large sum of money." Surdak deliberately patted the purse around his waist.

If Beatrice knew that Surdak’s biggest magic crystal was the money that was defrauded by the Luo Family of Gopher, she wouldn’t know what she would think.

Surdak continued: "Next I want to go to Constantinople, Marquis Luther said there should be the armor I need."

Hathaway eyes shined, some Excitedly said: "My aunt happens to live in Constantinople. I want to walk with you and take a look at my aunt."

"...Um, I can be with you all the way, of course I am Can't ask for it!" Surdak said, holding Hathaway's hand.

But inwardly grumbled in my heart, every time I come to Pena City, Aphrodite uses the summon contract array summon to come over. If he rushes to Constantinople with Hathaway, he will definitely be Accompanying day and night, summon array can't be maintained for that long...
