Whispering Verse

"Not all witches of the Fifth Age were keen on riding horses."

While the maid of the Le Maire family went to register for Shad, and the groom prepared the saddle and other supplies, Shad stood in the stable and said to Tifa.

The brunette girl held her hands together and drooped naturally on her chest, no matter what time she was, she was so elegant and full of charm.

"You also know this kind of thing?"

"Yes."

The two different witch reverberations not only gave Xia De interesting knowledge, but also let him understand some customs of the Fifth Era. He hopes to use this kind of chat to dilute his anxiety:

"Powerful witches can fly by themselves, or use alchemy props such as flying carpets. Witches who like mounts also have alchemy puppets or magnificent spirit horses. Witches who really like biological mounts are more inclined to unicorns or four-winged Pegasus .”

"But even in the Fifth Epoch, unicorns are a rare species. Although there are not many four-winged Pegasus, they are also very expensive."

Tifa said curiously, Shade nodded, and then patted the head of the bay red horse, hoping that it would not throw itself off for a while:

"So, low-level witches and witches who need to travel long distances actually like chocobos the most."

This point is also mentioned in "Feilianna's Notes". Miss Feilianna likes to travel sideways on a chocobo, and this creature's cargo capacity is also very good. There is a separate half page in the notes that mentions the food formula of chocobos. Unfortunately, in the Sixth Epoch, Shade has not seen this kind of creature.

As if seeing through Shad's thoughts, Tifa smiled and said:

"I heard from Miss that there are large-scale populations of chocobos in the Medical College of Serkses and the Holy See of the Church of Nature, and there are also small numbers of chocobos in other thaumaturgy colleges and churches. It is just to prevent ordinary people from seeing it, so land birds Striders don't trade and can only live in the area. If you really go to St. Byrence in the extreme north, you should be able to see ring warlocks riding chocobos in ancient castle complexes and academy cities walk through."

This kind of imagination and sense of picture brought this world in the steam wave back to the fantasy age of the Middle Ages.

"I hope that among the chocobos, there are individuals as fur-colored as Mia."

Xia De thought, and then recalled the knowledge of elves obtained after completing the time key of the God's Reception.

The huge amount of knowledge is only stored in his head, not all of it was mastered by Xia De at once. But at this moment, when he recalled, the knowledge about elf riding immediately jumped to his eyes.

"oh?"

He suddenly sighed, turned to Tifa and asked:

"Can I lend me one of your hairs?"

"Of course, what needs to be done?"

"I think, I have a way to learn how to ride a horse for a short time."

Not long after, a new round of horse racing started again, and Xia De rode on the bay red horse and appeared on the second track holding the rein. It seems that someone with good intentions spread the news that "Leggard's Hamilton" also participated in the horse race. When Shade appeared, there was warm applause from the sparse auditorium.

The sun in the suburbs in late autumn was a bit dazzling, Xia De raised his hand wearing a wear-resistant glove to block the sun.

At this time, in the glove of his left hand was the "Animal Docile" charm given by Tifa, and on his waist was an amulet, which was the "Lucky Rider Charm".

This is the skill of the elves. Using women's hair, elves' tokens and stones in the stables, combined with simple rune carvings, amulets can be made to help riders control their mounts. Of course, elf riders usually use this talisman to tame more powerful mounts, rather than ordinary horses.

Xia De doesn't have the "Elf's token", but he has [Youth and Ageless Leaf]. Using Tifa's long hair, using special weaving techniques, tie the leaves and the stable stones picked up at random, and then use a knife to carve elven runes on the surface of the stones - the runes are carved by Tifa, Shad is not so fine craftsmanship.

At this time, the talisman was hanging on Xia De's waist, and it was because of this simple talisman that Xia De was confident that he would not lose face in the next game.

[It's really interesting. 】

"She" is chuckling.

A bearded referee in a red shirt had already arrived, and the riders got on their horses and were ready to set off. On the track on the right side of Xia De, the brown-haired youth who looked slightly older than Xia De actually raised his **** to Xia De.

Shad frowned, and turned to look at Tifa beside the track. The maid nodded, she found the target of the delayed [Lame Curse].

"What's interesting?"

Xia De held the rein nervously.

[Do you still remember the content of the God of Gamblers blessing "mortal luck"? 】

The referee blew his whistle lightly, indicating that the game will start immediately. Then he raised his revolver toward the sky.

"In any gambling game, I can show unusual luck."

[So, is there a bet on this horse race? 】

Boom~

The gunfire exploded, and Xia De set off immediately.

"have."

[So, what are you worried about? 】

In the horse race that Xia De participated in, he didn't need to leave the racecourse and circle the nearby path for a circle, but just completed three complete laps of the racecourse.

A total of 9 players participated in the competition. At the start, the two horses on track 9 and track 8 collided together. Then when the first corner was turned, a thing like a water bottle was thrown from the audience, disturbing the No. 3 runner who was running in the front.

So, when the first lap ended, Xia De was actually at the end of the first echelon. There were only three horses ahead of him, and the leading one was only two and a half lengths ahead of him.

The first lap was safe and sound, and the power brought by the amulet allowed Xia De to control the docile horse very well. Although this maroon horse was not the fastest, it was definitely the most stable, so much so that Xia De almost thought that he really knew how to ride a horse.

In the middle of the second lap, Tifa's delayed [Lame Curse] occurred. Racer No. 4, who was half a horse ahead of Xia De, immediately withdrew from the first echelon after a cry of panic, and cheers and whistles came from the audience at the right time.

So Xia De became the third inexplicably.

As the race entered the final lap, Xia De, who was getting used to horseback riding more and more, became more comfortable with maintaining a steady progress. He lowered his body slightly, and all he wanted was to maintain the third position until he reached the finish line.

But unexpectedly, on the last long straight track, the maroon horse accelerated by itself. It ran very steadily in the front, and the acceleration at the end was also very stable.

When he finally crossed the finish line, Xia De actually slightly surpassed the second place—this was a result confirmed after repeated verifications.

Therefore, Xia De, who did not know how to ride a horse at all, won the second place in this horse race.

Afterwards, when he returned to Miss Galina, Miss Galina still smiled and encouraged Shad to continue the game. According to the rules of the competition schedule, if Xia De can participate in five consecutive games and ranks first in total points, not only will he be able to get a commemorative medal, but he will even get a considerable bonus.

Shad, of course, refused.

But at least Miss Galina's goal of diverting the topic was achieved. After Shad returned to the auditorium, Queen Diana didn't mention the princess anymore, but became interested in Shad's equestrian skills.

She even wants to invite Xia De, a young man with the title of knight, to participate in the "Tobesk Equestrian Competition" next spring. "Tobesk Equestrian Competition" is a regional event inherited from the old times. It was originally to show the bravery of knights. In the steam age when the knight class declined, it was to enrich the cultural life of citizens.

The "Tobesk Equestrian Competition" requires riders to follow a designated route for a long-distance horse race in the wild, and use long swords, bows and arrows in the middle to attack the targets erected along the way. Based on the number of hits and the final arrival time, the winners will be ranked comprehensively, and the winner will be able to win the "De La Rion Honorary Knight Medal" and make the headlines of the De La Rion Evening News that day. Of course, the annual winners are almost all nobles, and commoners have no time for such professional training.

This is spring in the Tobesk region, the most well-known official event besides His Majesty's inspection of spring planting.

"I will think about it."

Xia De prevaricated, but he didn't want to participate in this kind of activity at all.

In short, Xia De spent the rest of the afternoon sitting next to Miss Galina with Mia in his arms. It was nearly 4:30 in the afternoon before Queen Diana was ready to return to the city.

Miss Galina did not follow, but returned to the manor with Tifa and Shad ~www.readwn.com~ and invited Shad to have dinner.

In the restaurant for dinner, the overhead crystal lamps were brightly lit, illuminating the gold and silver utensils on the white tablecloth. And there is a porcelain vase in the center of the long table, and there are two wilted roses in the vase, which are the two flowers sent by Xia De. Of course, the witch noticed Xia De's little gesture of handing flowers to the maid, but she saw that Doesn't seem to care at all.

The cat was lying next to Shad and waiting to be fed. Tifa poured the fruit wine that Shad had just made for the two of them. The witch looked out the window at the manor courtyard, while Shad played with the ring in his hand.

After the horse race, he got the queen's feather fan and Miss Galina's golden ring as promised. Just as he thought, it was indeed an alchemy item made by the witch herself.

"It's nothing important, it's just a malice detection. You can get a slight sense when a malevolent stare looks at you. I wear it when I go to a party with a lot of people, but it doesn't work very well for ring warlocks. Just keep it as a toy."

Miss Galina introduced, and then saw Xia De handing the ring to the cat at hand.

Miya, who was lying on the table, moved her position like a wriggling worm, sniffed the ring with her pink nose, then turned her head in disgust, showing no interest at all.

"Huh? Doesn't it like the ring very much?"

Now Shade didn't understand either.
