Nero laughed.

It was so ridiculous that Nero even laughed.

Nero knew that just beating these two sheriffs would not help. There are countless sheriffs in the entire United States, and these sheriffs follow the "law of justice" to perform their duties. Find these sheriffs The trouble doesn't make any sense at all.

Violence cannot solve problems.

But the thing that can never be associated with ugliness can solve the problem.

"Take the money and 'guard' the mother's child to a doctor and send her home.

"If you trouble her, I will trouble you."

A pile of dollars fell into the hands of the sheriff, and the problem was solved in an instant.

Seeing the back of the sheriff leading the mother and child away, Nero could only shake his head, unable to think of anything other than absurdity.

Immediately Nero looked away.

"Have you seen enough?"

"Oh, enough has been seen, what an ugly scene. What an ugly country!"

Schuttrogheim came out of nowhere.

But immediately Schuttrogheim asked a wonderful question.

"Although it's ugly, I still have a question for you - who is Benjamin Harrison?"

"President?"

"Huh? President? What you're talking about... shouldn't be the president of the United States?"

Schuttrogheim blinked his eyes in a daze.

Nero was also a little dazed: "Is it the president of the United States?"

Benjamin Harrison, a famous general during the Civil War, served as President of the United States in 1889, the centennial of Washington's inauguration.Great-grandfather was the founding father who signed the Declaration of Independence, and grandfather was the ninth president of the United States—Nero's unremarkable history told him so.

But Schuttrogheim's reaction made Nero a little confused.

The German guy said blankly: "Could it be that the original president was killed before I knew it, and the vice president took over? But I remember that the vice president doesn't seem to have that name either?"

"...?"

Nero blinked.

Immediately, Nero asked with a wonderful expression.

"So... who is the president actually?"

"Fani Valentine."

Schuttrogheim uttered a name that didn't seem to appear in any of the history books Nero had read.

But soon Nero was too lazy to think about it.

In a different world, it would be unreasonable to require some details to be exactly the same as the original world.

Schuttrogheim was also very interested in the question of who the president was. After all, it was not the president of the Germans.Compared with the rumored President Fanny Valentine, this German guy is obviously more interested in Nero.

"So Nero Zeppelin, what is your motivation for participating in this contest? To strive for honor for your country?"

"...?"

"It doesn't look like it. You are really just a guy who wants to take his wife for a ride and get a bonus by the way."

"What are you trying to say, Schuttrogheim."

"I'm talking about 'enlightenment', Nero Zeppelin.I was thinking about who is my biggest enemy on the way to the championship. At first I thought you were irrelevant, just a rookie rider who was good at duels but could never hinder me. It is my worst enemy.

"But judging from your reaction, it seems that this is not the case. You will not be an obstacle to my repair of Troheim."

"Ok?"

So what is this guy talking about?

Nero was a little confused.

However, Schuttrogheim just said loudly and proudly.

"Because our motives for horse racing are different!

"This "SBR" competition is already another form of war between nations!Unlike you, who only come here for pleasure, I, FV Schuttrogheim, fight for the honor of the motherland. I have an unparalleled patriotism!

"Tomorrow's game, I will prove it to you!"

"...No, what are you doing to prove to me?" Nero blinked.

"Because you defeated me in the duel! The honor of the German nation does not allow me to lose to a guy like you who has no "consciousness"!I will challenge you again in tomorrow's game and the next stage, and I will definitely defeat you! "

Leaving such an announcement, Schuttrogheim left.

Only Nero was left in silence.

Who is this?

Chapter 21 2nd Stage

9 month 26 day.

Seemingly no different from yesterday, Claudius carried the Qibelins to the starting line, waiting for the fireworks that announced the start of the race.

Suzumi Sugimoto sat in Nero's arms, blinking her eyes: "Didn't you say I'm holding you, Nero-chan?"

Nero hugged me a little tighter, looking a little tired: "We can switch when we get closer to the finish line. I'm [-] centimeters taller than you. Didn't the scenery be blocked by me when you hugged me?"

Suzumi let out an obedient "Oh".

And Nero's sight is on the wilderness and desert that is faintly visible ahead.

The 2nd Stage is Monument Valley, which is 1200 kilometers away.Different from the warm-up race on the first track, this is a race that is expected to take 12 to 18 days to complete. Not only do you have to solve life and safety problems by yourself, you even have to cross the "Arizona Desert."

These are matters already written in the competition rules.

Because of this, Nero even carried a big backpack on his back, which was full of necessary living supplies.

At the same time, the referee also loudly repeated important precautions to the players on the hot air balloon.

"Competitors are 'obliged' to pass through a pre-determined checkpoint.

"The rescue and referee's carriage will go from the rear to the finish line. Even if the players can compete, as long as they ask the rescue team for water, food or medicine, it will be regarded as an act of "abstention"..."

The referee babbled.

Gero, who was separated by dozens of positions, glanced at Nero, his eyes were a little subtle, but the next moment he showed a smile of unknown meaning.

"Hey?"

"...?"

Nero blinked, but didn't understand.

At ten o'clock sharp, the fireworks rose like yesterday.After yesterday's elimination, the remaining 3772 riders rushed to the boundless Arizona desert, and Nero was one of them.

"咴——!!!"

Claudius yelled briskly.

Nero gently pulled the rein with a smile on his face.

"You don't need to run so fast this time, Claudius. Normally, a horse can only run an average of 60 to 100 kilometers a day. Although it is not impossible for a horse to gallop 300 kilometers a day and a night, it is estimated that it will last a night. After running the horse, it will be abolished-this is our advantage.

"You just need to move forward at a moderate pace. You have stamina and physical strength that other horses cannot match. This is our advantage.

"150 kilometers per day, we won the 2nd Stage championship in eight days!"

The strategy has been set.

The dashing black horse galloped on the track and headed for the distance.But as he ran, a figure appeared beside Nero.

"Good morning, Mr. Zeppelin, Mrs. Zeppelin."

It was a handsome and sunny cowboy. Nero recognized this man, and his name was Mandon Tim.

Mandon followed Nero unhurriedly, and greeted the two of them.

Nero raised his eyebrows: "Good morning, Mr. Cowboy—what's the matter? Don't you want to form a team with me?"

Manden's smile was very clear: "Can you?"

Nero thought about it for a while: "The first part of the journey is fine. It is very important to observe unfamiliar competitors, and it just so happens that I don't need to run at full speed today. But when you can't keep up with Claudius, A moment—it should be something within today, and then I will get rid of you cleanly. After all, forming a team means that the speed of the entire team is limited to the speed of the "slowest" person. "

Manden smiled even more happily: "I am a candidate for the championship."

Nero is also very confident: "But the championship is mine."

Nero and Mandon didn't know each other well, and he wasn't someone who would suddenly team up with strangers.The reason why he agreed to team up with Manden for a while was because he wanted to know what the cowboy was after him.

Mandon's mount is called "Ghost Rider of the Sky", which is a North American Mustang.

This was the case with this improvised team, heading towards a water source fifty kilometers away.It wasn't until after running for a while that Nero slowly said, "Tell me, cowboy, what's the matter with finding me?"

"Someone was killed." The cowboy said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Nero didn't react for a moment.

Manden explained seriously: "During the 1st Stage race yesterday, several riders were brutally killed. I was appointed as the sheriff's assistant to investigate this incident."

Nero raised his eyebrows: "You?"

Manden said with a smile: "I often help the sheriff friends I know to catch wanted criminals, from Montana in the north to Texas in the south, there is no place I haven't been to!"

Nero got it: "Ah, Detective—so the Detective came to me thinking I'd be the next victim?"

Mandon nodded.

Nero was amused, and asked back: "What if I am the prisoner?"

Manden said: "Yesterday, I focused on the game, and it happened that you and this beautiful lady were so dazzling. I spent a lot of time focusing on you-because I want Surpassing you and becoming the 1st Stage track champion, it’s a pity that things backfired.”

Nero understood.

It was the detective in charge of solving the case who became his witness.

So here comes the question, will you, the detective, be the criminal?Nero couldn't help but think so.After all, he had been running at the front yesterday, and he didn't even know what happened to the well-known Jonny behind him, let alone Mandon Tim, a stranger.

Nero's face didn't change at all, and Mandon didn't notice Nero's suspicion of him.

"If the prisoner's goal is the championship and ranking, then maybe you, yesterday's champion, may become their target. So please let me follow you for now."

"Please, but it's only for the few hours you can still run." Nero grinned, "Even if the prisoner wants to attack me, he has to follow me, right? Let's go, Claudius!"

"Bah—!"

Nero galloped away.

Mandon followed closely behind.

At the same time, not far away, Jonny finally found Nero, who was still in the first echelon even if he slowed down, and Manden, who followed Nero among thousands of people.Just when Johnny was about to hurry up and follow, a figure suddenly came to Johnny.

"咴——!!!"

The wrangler raised its hooves high and stopped in front of Johnny.

Startled, Johnny turned his gaze to the familiar figure on the wrangler: "Jello?!"

"Hey?"

"What are you doing, Jello?"

"According to the incredible stamina shown by Claudius yesterday, Nero should plan to use his amazing stamina to win the championship of this track this time, right? The cowboy who is by his side will soon Being dumped by him, Nero will never wait for him, he will just go on the road sweetly with his wife. Even if he is a Roman, I don't want him to succeed-I mean winning the championship, you Is it the same?"

"...you mean?"

"Let's join forces."

Gero showed his big gold teeth and smiled brilliantly.
