Chapter 145, Surrender, Lift It Like a Monster! Surrender to It!
Keir also felt uncomfortable. He rubbed his right palm pretending to be relaxed, and then stared closely at the young and strong horse who was sizing him up.
He raised his chin slightly, as if raising it provocatively.
The next moment, the horse's head slammed into Kil.
This time, Kil stretched out his hands and directly pressed the head of the huge horse that hit him, but the strong horse put all four feet on the ground and rushed forward. And Keir's boots tore out two deep scratches on the loose soil on the ground.
"Kiel! How's it going?"
Bloodfangster saw Kil being pushed backwards and immediately asked.
"Be careful, don't be knocked down or stepped on by it. I won't compensate for the treatment!!!" Fire Beard shouted loudly. He was afraid that not only would he not earn a bag of gold coins, but he might have to pay for something.
It's best not to do this.
"Ha." There was a smile on Kil's lips, but he hadn't exerted his strength yet.
"Have you had enough trouble? Calm down!"
Keir planted his feet firmly, then used his arms to shake the huge horse's head vigorously.
A pair of human arms exerted much more power than a thick horse's neck, allowing the young horse to experience for the first time what it meant to feel involuntarily.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" It staggered to a stop and pulled the horse's head in an attempt to escape Keer's control of its head, but Keer was unstoppable and took a step forward to cross the horse's head with his left hand. , pressed on the horse's neck, then passed one leg around the horse's front leg, and tripped sideways.
boom!
The horse, which weighed nearly a ton, fell to the ground with a crash, lying on its back with all four hooves in the air.
Fortunately, the ground was made of soft floating soil, and there was also elastic soil under the floating soil. Neither Keir nor the horse was injured after such a fall.
"Lulu, lulu! Lulu!"
It struggled to get up, but Kil pressed its neck hard, grabbed its two front hooves with one hand, and lifted it up. In this way, the four-legged animal lacked the help of two hooves and was unable to do anything. Get up from the ground.
"Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!"
The thick warm breath sprayed from the side of the long horse face on Keir's thick neck, making him tickle. This proud little guy was still unconvinced and kept struggling on the ground, but was suppressed by Kiel and couldn't get over it.
The man and the horse were in a stalemate for a while, and then Keir used the hand that was holding down its neck to scratch the horse on the left and buckle on the right, which made the sensitive horse particularly uncomfortable.
"Kyle, come on, right?"
Upon seeing this, Firebeard threw a bag of food towards Kiel. This stuff was fresh vegetables and was specially used to curry favor with the outstanding horses in his stable.
Suppression and flattery must be used together.
Keir took it with his left hand, pinched it with his fingers, opened the bag and found that there was half a bag of tender carrots inside.
"My horses love to eat this stuff, and that's why I don't feed it to them all day long. I only feed it to them as a reward. And now is the time."
Firebeard leaned against the stable fence from a distance, giving Kil a kind reminder.
Carrots are just ordinary vegetables, but after artificially creating scarcity, they can be distributed as rewards to the healthy horses raised in the stables. This stable owner is very familiar with governance and management.
Kil laughed when he thought of this.
He reached out with his fingers and picked up a slender carrot that was as thick as two fingers.
These vegetables have been washed by the river water, and there is no trace of soil when they are pulled out of the vegetable field. At first glance, they look rosy and cute, crisp, tender and delicious.
Not to mention that the horses like it, even if anyone sees it, they will want to go up and take a bite.
With a hiss, a long and slippery thing flashed behind Kiel. Kiel turned his head and saw that the young man who was pressed under Kiel was turning his head vigorously and opened the horse's mouth. He was trying to use his long tongue to hook the carrot between Gil's fingers.
"Want to eat? Hehe, the carrot is here, oh, the carrot is gone again."
Keir teased it, but unexpectedly, it provoked the horse to resist fiercely.
It shook even more.
"Quiet!"
Keir shouted loudly, and the strong sound not only frightened the horses, but also several people in the stable. Staring at the horse being pinned down with burning eyes, Kil said calmly: "Be good, there are carrots to eat."
"If you move around, not only will you not get anything to eat, but you will also have to be scratched here and there by me. It's very embarrassing."
Although this smart little guy had a look of disdain on his face, his eyes never left the carrot on the tip of Kiel's finger, and the whole horse calmed down in a sensible manner.
Kil let go of his right hand holding the hoof, and then hung the bag containing many carrots on his body. Then he carefully used the carrots in his left hand to attract the other person's attention, and then he climbed up carefully.
He then guided the strong horse to get up from the ground.
"Very good, very good, young man. Come and be quiet and have something to eat."
Kil threw the carrot, and the thing was immediately rolled into his mouth by a long and strong tongue in mid-air.
-
After eating the 'chip' in Kiel's hand, the horse seemed to be back to its old behavior immediately. Kiel immediately took out another chip from the bag on his waist and shook it in front of its eyes.
But this kid was not stupid, and soon his attention was focused on the bag on Kil's waist.
It flapped its nose a few times and seemed to smell more wonderful smells from Keel's bag.
So it immediately took action, and the huge horse's head 'collided' with Kiel again. But it looked the same as before, but the actual purpose was to focus on the food in Keel's bag.
"Hey! Attention!"
Kil shouted and pushed the horse's head away, preventing it from succeeding.
"Boy Kil, give it some sweetness and make it obey you."
Firebeard was at the side, trying his best. Anyway, their stables used various methods to tame young horses. Using several methods together, they could turn the young horses into rideable horses.
Because prairie horses are strong and strong, the method of taming them with force is unreliable. They can easily be thrown off the horse and cause accidents.
Subduing horses and taming them is a craft and business, and it is not good to lose your life for it.
Of course, there are young people who are confident in their horse training skills everywhere. Similarly, Fire Beard can hear from the merchants every year that a certain village has been trampled to death by his own horse.
He had long been accustomed to this.
Kil listened to Firebeard's instructions and immediately used the carrot in his hand as bait to attract the young man's attention. At the same time, he got close to it and slowly fed it the carrot with one hand. With one hand, he first cautiously and then boldly rubbed and patted the horse's neck and back fur.
It seems as if these rubbing and patting are to remove the loose soil that was stained when it fell to the ground, but in fact, through such patting, Kil is letting it get used to his own movements.
"Saddle, bit and bridle."
When Kil opened his mouth, Firebeard's three sons immediately threw the things they had prepared in their hands to Kil one by one.
But as soon as the saddle was placed on the horse's back, it immediately reacted and spread its hooves to run away.
Kil moved quickly, grabbed one of its legs and instantly tripped it, knocking the one-ton horse over to the ground.
There was a rumble, and the horses in other circles were startled. They saw that the guy who was usually domineering and domineering was put down to the ground in disgrace by humans for the second time today.
"Lulu Lu!"
There were sounds like mocking horses neighing one after another in the surroundings, and the young horse that was knocked over by Keel was even more embarrassed.
It struggled hard with all four hooves, but after Kil grabbed its two hooves on the same side, one behind the other, no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't kick Kil, and it couldn't do anything to humans.
The man and the horse were in a stalemate for a while, and Kil's energy seemed to be infinite. The young and strong horse lying on the ground also had endless physical strength, and it didn't look tired at all.
-
Bloodfangster leaned against the fence, fanning himself with one of Firebeard's furs, and chatting with Firebeard about his experiences during this period.
He talked about his previous experiences when passing through the Strange Wind Grassland, the large group of harpies that attacked the northern army, and the human army that was more terrifying than the monsters.
"In the end, I heard from Keir that none of the entire group of harpies escaped. They were all annihilated by them that afternoon."
There was a circle of people around him, all workers in Firebeard's stable, including of course Firebeard's three sons.
"Everyone! The strong wind completely subsided that day. I heard later that it was the calmest afternoon that all the old caravan guards had experienced. Not only that, the next day was just as calm, and the strong wind did not bother us anymore. You guys Do you know why?"
The workers, who were all villagers in the village, shook their heads together. They were all horse farm workers in the village. Not everyone could do it, let alone cross the dangerous strange wind grassland, let them ride horses along the trade road to Cavan City.
Many people spend most of their lives in activities near the village. At most, they go to big cities to participate in religious festivals once or twice during big religious days. Otherwise, most people will never be able to travel far from their hometowns in their lifetime.
Because there is no need to take unnecessary risks.
Trekking is dangerous no matter what.
Even if the villagers want to go out, more than ten people will gather together. It will be much safer to go out together.
Of course, the safer way is to pay a sum of money to the familiar caravan that visits the village and let them take people outside. At the same time, it's the same way when you come back.
After listening to Bloodfangster's embellished description, Kil, who was still competing with the horses, was a little embarrassed. He was boasting too much, especially the reaction of the Kendall army seemed to become more calm in Bloodfangster's mouth. reliable.
But it was obvious that everyone was panicking to death at that time, and most of the army was deafened by the monster's scream. If it weren't for the two priests from the Church of Saturn who jointly performed the battlefield healing magic, everyone would probably not have been able to counterattack later.
They have been fighting on their own in chaos for a long time, and the casualties are probably much more serious.
He shook his head, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. Steppe horse, harpy monster.
Prairie horses and harpies?
Plateau horse, harpy monster!
Yes, the harpy!
Keir slapped his forehead, thinking about it.
When he was in a stalemate with the horse, the saddle on the horse's back was only loosely attached to it.
Kiel kicked him away and then said to the people watching from a distance: "Please pay attention, I have an idea. Please wait a moment and don't be scared."
Everyone around was confused, wondering what tricks Kiel was going to do later.
But everyone still acted like we were waiting to see.
Bloody Fangster knew that this kid Kiel looked young, but was actually very crazy, so he prepared himself mentally in advance.
But Kiel's move still shocked everyone, including him.
Keir actually tried to lift this strong and tall horse that was nearly ten times heavier than an ordinary person?
well? Is this something humans can do?
-
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Keir first brewed it for a while, activating all the life energy in his body, including the knight's training, and the power of the god of agriculture in the seeds of the god of agriculture.
At this moment, the life energy in his body was swelling and filling, and the power of the God of Agriculture, as thick as his little finger, was also reciprocating at high speed in his body.
His face was flushed red, and his breath could bring out scalding heat, which was not inferior to the feeling of this horse's breath.
Creak, creak.
He moved his fingers, making the joints creak, and then stared intensely at the horse lying on the ground.
It turned its head away cautiously, not daring to look at the imposing Kiel.
"Lulu Lu——"
There was a bit of pleading in his tone.
Kil snorted coldly: "It's too late."
After saying that, he flipped his hand and forced the horse to stand upright.
The four hooves were loosened and the body was turned around. The strong horse subconsciously wanted to get up and run away, but unexpectedly, Keir directly ducked and dwarfed, and then a loud shout sounded from underneath it: "Get up! !!!”
With a huge burst of power, Kiel placed his left hand on the horse's chest and his right hand on the deep belly in front of the hind legs. He separated his left and right sides just above the horse's belly.
As soon as he exerted his strength, a heavy weight poured into his feet through his entire body and legs, directly pressing deeply into the place where his feet were.
Like a horse's hoof.
"Hey! Good guy, is it true or false?"
Everyone around was shocked. Someone could really lift such a huge horse!
Firebeard felt that it was not detailed. He suddenly thought of something and stared at Kil for a while, then turned to look at Bloodfangster: "You guy, tell me the truth, are you climbing up?" You’re a noble man!”
"Noble? Who? Where?"
Bloody Fangster looked confused.
Following Firebeard's finger and looking at Kil, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Kil is not only a warrior, he is also the attendant of the knight in the army I just mentioned. He is a certain There is a knight apprentice of Lord Knight! Well, he is studying."
Bloody Fangster stuttered a bit as he watched Kil gradually exert his strength, lifting the tall horse weighing almost a ton little by little over his head, and said with a mixture of garlic in his mouth: "Well, it should be, he is studying. ?”
Firebeard deliberately winked: "There's no need to ask, you guy finally got your luck. You trekked in the dark and finally encountered lights, and found a cave with dark clouds and rain."
"Well, how can I owe someone my life?"
Bloody Fangster shrugged and argued with embarrassment, but an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
Firebeard immediately took out a small bone flask from his chest, carefully unscrewed the cork, and flatteringly put it into Bloodfangster's hand: "Try it, dwarves have good wine."
Bloodfangster didn't like dwarves very much, but his curiosity overcame his disgust. After taking it, he smelled it first, but it had no taste, and then took a sip with doubt.
"Oh, cough, cough, cough. What the hell, I feel like I have turned into a monster that can spit fire!"
He grinned and fanned his tongue, as if what he just drank was not wine, but an herbal water with serious side effects.
"Hahahaha, you idiot, how can you drink so much dwarf liquor? You have to roll it with your tongue and drink it! Just like cats and dogs drinking water, lick it and drink it."
Rolling his eyes, Bloody Fangster did as his good friend said. This time, after being exposed to the strong liquor of this concentration little by little, he finally stopped choking.
His face turned red quickly, and he seemed to have more energy than Kil.
-
As for Kiel, he breathed heavily, raised his left and right arms, and his whole body trembled to lift such a huge animal above his head.
"Hahahahahahahahaha, I succeeded, I succeeded! Everyone, look at it."
Kiel shouted excitedly, and many people around him gathered around in amazement. Everyone was working in the stable with their mouths wide open. No one knew better than them how heavy the horse that Kiel was lifting at this time was.
Not to mention lifting them up, when these four-hoofed animals want to stay in place and not move, they can't pull them up no matter what.
They didn't expect that today, they would actually see such an ordinary young man lift such a strong and tall horse. I don’t know if it’s because the gods are great, or because humans themselves are amazing enough.
Someone fell to their knees with a plop, and quickly moved the emblem of the God of Animal Husbandry in his hand, mumbling that this was a miracle of the god.
Some people also heard the conversation between Bloodfangster and their boss Firebeard, and knew that Keel might be a knight. So these guys who dared to talk to Keel just now and made fun of him immediately became cautious. Not to mention yelling, even Keir's face no longer dared to be looked at directly.
Of course, some people didn't care about this. They marveled at Kiel's human power, cheered and celebrated, counting Kiel over and over again to see how long Kiel could lift such a heavy animal. .
"Ha, I can lift it as long as I want!!"
Keir was speaking harshly, his whole body was hot and red, his breathing was rapid, and the blood vessels on his forehead were pumping and bulging.
A pair of eyes were so wide that even the eye sockets seemed to be under a lot of pressure.
"Stop counting and take a look. What does this guy look like? Is he convinced?"
Kil asked with difficulty.
Only then did someone turn their attention to the young horse that was lifted up by Kiel for no reason.
-
The horses looked panicked.
The four hooves are kicking, but they can't step on anything after hanging in the air. This kind of feeling that I have never been exposed to in my life is still too exciting for an animal that has to deal with the earth all its life.
"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu!"
"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu!"
It was frightened and neighed, shaking its head and tail, but it had no effect at all.
"Looks like a surrender expression?"
Some people speculate.
"Whoever has to worry about this will be covered, right? I think it should be okay?"
There are senior grooms who judge the expressions of the horses.
"Kiel, how about you put it down and try?"
"Okay, look at me!"
As soon as Kil finished speaking, he exerted another force and threw the strong horse above his head forward.
Boom, as soon as the four hooves hit the ground, the whole horse's hooves softened, and the whole horse huddled on the ground.
"Hoo, ha, ho, ha, ho, ha. How's it going?"
Keir gasped and strode to pick up the saddle he had kicked away before. Then, panting heavily, he staggered to the horse that was lying on the ground and unable to get up.
Snapped!
He roughly buckled the saddle onto the horse's back, causing the horse's head to tremble. He was about to twist his body, but when Keel glared at him, the horse immediately lowered its head as it secretly looked at Keel's expression.
He neighed softly as if to please: "Lulu Lu often~"
"It's done! It's done -"
"Haha, I'm still the son of the old overlord. Haha, I'm still convinced when I meet a strong man like Kiel! It's amazing!"
"Lord Kil is not a strong man, what nonsense are you talking about? He is a knight!"
Kil grinned: "Haha, I am not a knight, I am learning, I am learning."
But Kiel's modesty was seen as nothing more than an excuse to those around him.
Someone immediately offered Keel a complete set of harnesses for horses, and the strong horse accepted it obediently.
"By the way, what's its name? I don't know this yet?"
The owner of the stable, Firebeard, came over with a small bone jug in his hand: "Blood-licking grass, its name is Blood-licking grass."
"Why is it such a weird name?"
Keir was a little confused. Why wasn't the horse's name something more ordinary?
"My father once took the newborn cat around the village and accidentally wandered into a patch of blood-licking grass. It was fine, but my father's legs were cut and covered in blood."
"That's why it's called this."
Keir stared at the big eyes of the well-behaved horse.
He called out tentatively: "Blood-licking grass?"
"Lulu Lu!"
"Look, it knows you called it by name."
Keel laughed.
