Chapter 22 (1/2)
Before Liszt was able to give the order to search for dragon-bred horses, Goltai, who had been growing clovers in the Cow Farm, came to the castle in the early morning.
“Liszt, great news! Our new clovers are growing quite well. Most importantly, a wild horse has been attracted to them. The horse looks even more remarkable than your Fire Dragon!”
“Tell Mr. Marcus to check the wild horse in the Cow Farm. He has to pay for the food, doesn’t he?”
“That’s right. He will pay for the food with himself, haha.”
Everything in a dominion belonged to the lord. The wild horse undoubtedly was Liszt’s private property.
They came to the Cow Farm and saw a black wild horse enjoying the sprouting clovers on the meadow that belonged to the cows. The horse was tall and had shiny hair. Its muscles were obvious.
“Mr. Marcus, you are a great horse examiner. How do you think of it?”
The wild horse had already noticed Liszt and his lot, but it seemed very bold and simply eating having the grass.
His eyes glittering, Marcus said in excitement, “My lord, what a great horse! It has nice bones and muscles. Its limbs are long. The neck is long and straight. The hindquarters are square. Most important of all, its eyes are very sharp!”
“How is it compared to the Blue Blood Horses?”
“Forgive me, my lord. I’ve never seen a Blue Blood Horse before. The best horse I know is the earl’s White Leopard Horse, but it is not nearly as impressive as the wild horse here.”
The White Leopard Horse was the Earl of Coral Island’s mount. Naturally, Liszt was no stranger to it.
The black wild horse before them was much more intimidating than the White Leopard Horse. After all, the dragon-bred horses were kings among horses.
“How can we catch it?”
Marcus said, “I can knock it over barehanded. It’s a horse after all. However, if you want to mount it, my lord, you have to tame it personally. Wild horses only obey those who bend them.”
Liszt did not intend to mount the dragon-bred horse; he wanted it to create a group of dragon-bred horses as a stud.
However, it was interesting to tame a dragon-bred horse. Liszt did not ask Marcus to do it for him.
He approached the wild horse personally.
The horse grew wary the moment he drew near. It turned around and glared at Liszt, warning him to stay back.
As Liszt got closer and closer, the horse finally ran out of patience and charged at Liszt.
Dodging agilely, Liszt got on the back of the horse. The horse, feeling humiliated, hopped and shook crazily, trying to throw Liszt off. However, Liszt simply grabbed its neck, not moving at all.
An earth knight could fight a real monster, much less a horse.
Half an hour later, the horse finally came to a halt in exhaustion, simply allowing Liszt to ride and command it.
Wiping away his sweat, Liszt laughed. “What a stubborn fellow. Your coat is purely black. Let’s call you Black Dragon.”
It was an appropriate name for its meager dragon bloodline.
“Carl, bring some wheat bran pies.” Liszt got off the horse. It was not difficult to tame a wild horse, but it was certainly tiresome. He was sweating hard.
Fire Dragon leaned over at this moment. It was a young mare.
While rubbing Liszt’s shoulder, it looked at the tall Black Dragon Horse. However, the Black Dragon Horse did not look back at all or please Liszt. It still had its pride.
