stand-in creed

After looking around at the horses in the stable, Schuttrogheim twitched his lips.

"Which horse tell me, I will pay."

"..."

Nero looked at the various horses in the stable and fell into deep thought.

How should I choose a horse?

Although in the old world, Nero was an omnipotent person in the eyes of his friends, but in this brand new world, Nero found that there were too many things he didn't understand.Nero, who never gambled or rode a horse, knew nothing about horses.

What breeds are suitable for racing horses?

Nero doesn't even know the breeds of horses!

"Well, Nero..." Sugimoto Suzumi asked quietly, "What should we do? Do you want Mr. Schottheim to help us choose?"

"What should I do if I deliberately pick a bad horse for us? Although he is very enthusiastic now, he still needs to guard against it." Nero said seriously, "If it's really not possible... I don't care if I carry the horse and run. Can't."

"..."

Suzumi Sugimoto slapped her face.

Nero smiled, and walked into the stable: "Although I don't know anything about horses, there are still some ways."

Suzumi Sugimoto tilted her head.

Then the girl saw her husband walk up to one of the racehorses, and looked at the horse seriously.But at the next moment, his gaze became as sharp as an eagle's.

"咴——!!!"

With just one look, the racehorse started to move as if frightened.

Just as he was about to riot, Nero hugged his neck directly, and "pacified" the pony under the tremendous force that he was completely powerless to resist.

"This horse can't do it, it's too timid.

"You can't even stand a look from me, how can you cross the American continent with me?"

Nero patted the frightened pony—or maybe it was an old horse, Nero has no ability to tell the age of a horse at all—and calmed down in a serious manner, seeing that the horse calmed down somehow , After still not daring to move, he went to the next one.

After that, there was a flutter of chaos in the stable.

……

Nero finally finished picking the horse.

In the entire stable, Nero found a total of three courageous horses.

As someone who didn't know anything about horses, Nero couldn't make the right choice in terms of breed or age.But he still has his own way——

ripple.

Feel the life energy of these horses through the ripples and pick the most powerful of them all.

A black horse as handsome as a black pearl.

His fur is shiny, his long mane and long tail are as dashing as Katz's hair, and he is extremely handsome.

"Come with me, okay?"

Sitting on the horseback, Nero spoke gently to the black horse.

This dark horse has a bad temper, and it seems that he wants to throw off the man who stares at him and frightens him when he meets him.But helplessly, the waist of the man on his body is too stable, and his legs are as immovable as a mountain when they are clamped on his body. No matter how much it twists its body, it can't shake Nero on his body.

The corner of Nero's mouth twitched.

"have you had enough?"

"Bah..."

The black horse twisted a few more times, and finally calmed down, allowing Nero to ride on his back.

Nero patted the horse's neck lightly.

"Good boy, is this the right way to speak—Suzumi, come up?"

"Ok!"

Nero stretched out his hand and hugged Suzumi up.

Nero patted the horse lightly again.

"gone."

"Bah..."

The horse didn't seem to understand.

Nero pondered for a while, and tried to use the strength of his waist to push forward. Only then did the horse understand the meaning of the man on its back and paced towards the entrance of the stable.

Schuttrogheim, who had been waiting for a while, saw Nero coming out on a black horse, his eyes lit up.

"Huh? You have a good eye.

"Look, look, what a beautiful Friesian horse? I heard the movement in it just now, this kid must be very strong?"

"Friesian?" Nero was taken aback.

"You don't know?" Schuttrogheim was also taken aback.

"Before today, I have never been in contact with horses in my life." Nero is not someone who insists on making people change him. If he doesn't understand, he just doesn't understand.His self-esteem and honor do not need those hypocritical things to decorate.

"...That's it."

Hearing Nero admit that he had never touched equestrianism, Schuttrogheim was delighted.

He was shocked by the fighting power displayed by Nero in the duel.

But hearing that Nero didn't know equestrian skills, Schuttrogheim was relieved a lot.It is absolutely impossible for Nero, who does not know equestrian skills, to compete with him for the championship!

Thinking of this, Schottheim's mood was also refreshed a lot, and he explained it like Nero.

"The Friesian horse is a descendant of the original forest horse in Europe. It was used as a war horse to carry my motherland and Friesian soldiers to participate in the Crusades. It has a beautiful long black mane and long tail. Compared with the body, the horse's head is relatively small, and its limbs Strong, durable, and very stable on his feet.”

"So it looks like I picked the right one?"

"That's right, a very good Friesian."

Schuttrogheim praised the dark horse Nero had chosen from the bottom of his heart.

Immediately, Schuttrogheim pointed to the staff not far away.

"Next you need to install the saddle, the bridle, the pedals. And since it's your horse, it's time for you to give him a name."

"Name."

Nero gently stroked his sassy mane, and looked directly into the black horse's pearly eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Nero said seriously.

"I'll leave it to you to--

"—Claudius."

Chapter 7 Familiar Strangers Part One

As a half-baked cowboy, although Nero has no cows, he has horses.

The staff of the stables provided Nero with all the necessary harnesses, such as bridles and whips, and double saddles and stirrups.When all the formalities were completed, the beautiful dark horse completely became Nero's property.

Nero took Suzumi back on his horse and shouted at Schuttrogheim not far away.

"Thanks, German.

"I will be merciful if I see you in the competition."

"Don't be kidding, you are stronger in a duel, but if you are a novice like you in horse racing! Not only a novice, but you even want to go for a romantic ride with your girlfriend in such a big competition! Guys like you can threaten If I win the championship in Troheim, my past life will be a joke!"

Schuttrogheim also got on his horse, which was his favorite horse "Europa Express".

The German guy turned his head again, took a last look at Nero and Suzumi, and then walked away to the distance without looking back.

Seeing that the German guy had left, Nero took out his new wallet and counted the cash inside.There is no need to elaborate on the amount. All in all, the money extorted from Schottheim... No, it should be said that the money sponsored by Schuttrogheim is enough for Nero's next daily expenses.

"very good.

"When the living expenses are obtained, the horse is also obtained.

"The next step is to sign up and win the first prize of 5000 million, Suzumi."

"Is it full of momentum?"

"Of course!"

Suzumi sat in Nero's arms.

Nero's lower abdomen pushed forward gently, and the black Maclaudius under him understood the meaning of the master, and began to walk towards the registration office.

Come to the registration office.

Just as Nero tied Claudius's reins to the horse stakes, Nero's eyes suddenly shrank because he saw a strange figure.

It was a young male.

This blond man was standing in front of the registration office with a miraculous but elegant posture like Michelangelo's sculpture. He completed the registration procedures under the respectful eyes of the staff at the registration office, and then walked towards the hitching post.

The man has golden hair and green eyes.

Although that confident face was a bit green and immature, it gave Nero a strange sense of déjà vu.Especially the three letters on the young man's hat made Nero's pupils shrink subconsciously——

IT GAVE.

"..."

Nero calmly looked at the young man who passed him by.

The young man also noticed Nero's gaze, and after passing by, he turned his head and glanced at Nero, but only took a glance before retracting his gaze, and walked towards his horse.

After the young man left, Nero raised his eyebrows and walked towards the registration office.

The staff at the registration office is a short, fat man.

Glancing at Nero, the little fat man said in a somewhat rambling manner.

"The registration fee is $1200. It's not $120, it's not $12, it's $1200..."

"I remember that two people can ride on the same horse, right? Just like the German baron who drove a "car" before, is that the case? "

To be on the safe side, Nero asked again.

The little fat man nodded, and then he saw the beautiful girl next to Nero: "As long as you don't change the mount halfway, there is no problem."

The next moment, Nero handed over 2400 US dollars.

"Nero Zeppelin.

"Suzumi Sugimoto."

"Two people and one horse, right? I see."

The little fat man is too lazy to care what the contestants think, as long as it doesn't affect his work, he will be fine.

After a while, the little fat man handed over two pieces of cloth and two badges with "SBR" printed on them.

"This is the number and the entry card, please sew the number cloth on the saddle.

"The competition will provide accommodation and food for the contestants. In the next few days, the two of you just need to prepare for the competition with peace of mind.

"The departure time is one week later, at 9:25 am on September 10. In addition, the horse's "nose print" needs to be collected once before departure to verify the identity of the horse at the checkpoint and confirm that there has been no change of horse.Do you have any other questions? "

"..."

Nero looked at his and Suzumi's number.

B-666.

B-667.

From the perspective of Westerners, it seems that there are some unlucky numbers.

Nero hesitated for a moment, but still asked his own question.

"There are still questions. I would like to ask, who is that guy with "DIO" written on his hat just now?" "

"Huh? You don't even know him?"
