Chapter 96 - The Famous Horse Gradturk (2/2)

“Now I am the wind! Move it, Gladstark!”

“Don’t get excited and go to ……!

“I know! Don’t worry!”

Nevertheless, as I sit on its back, I know exactly how it feels.

Not that I was dissatisfied with the camel, but this sense of speed was going to be addictive.

The scenery flowed backwards at high speed.

Since it’s a desert, there are few landmarks, so it’s hard to tell how far you’ve come. ……

Gradturk kicked powerfully at the sand and went forward, forward, forward.

I guess they’re tolerant of the desert heat.

“Oh, I see. If you look at that thing, it’s …… Oh, it’s so fast.”

As I muttered and zoomed in on the map in the menu, it was easy to understand the speed at a glance.

I see a straight line towards the city of Maiya, quickly crushing the distance that was so far away.

This is only my third time on the Gradturk, so there are many things I haven’t fully grasped.

“Hind, let’s race to Maiya for a change!”

“Competition? I mean, they’re the same horse in terms of performance in the game, so wouldn’t they be tied?”

“We’ll never know unless we try! Let’s go!”

“Oh, hey!”

Yumir kicked the horse in the stomach and accelerated.

I regripped the reins of my own Gradturk and hurried after it.

Maiya was already in front of me, and I could faintly see the city beyond the mirage.

“Why …… are you running ahead of me, why are we losing ……?”

As it turned out, I overtook Yumir on the way and arrived at Maiya first.

Now we pay for the use of the oasis and give the Gradturks water to drink.

“I don’t know, maybe you’re heavier than me now. You know, if you think about it–“

“How dare you call me, a woman, heavy!”

“Listen to me, until the end! I mean, when are you going to realize you’re wearing armor! This is probably the third time I’ve said this to you, come on!”

“Oh, …… it was. But Hind, the weight of your armor will continue to decrease due to status compensation, right? So it’s no wonder you don’t know your exact weight anymore.”

“I guess that’s what they say. ……”

Because with the priest’s puny physical attack and physical defense, that kind of thing almost never happens.

However, there is one thing to keep in mind in light of what happened this time.

“‘But you’ve found that when you’re riding, as in real life, the lighter you are, the faster you’ll go. Why don’t you basically just leave your gear off while you’re riding?”

“Sure, it’s just a matter of opening the menu and one-touching it. I’ll do that next time.”

When the player is not wearing any equipment, he looks like a plain clothes.

If you are in the desert, all you need is a cloak to protect you from the sun and you will be fine.

I feel that the lighter the weight, the longer the stamina of the camel or horse will last, and once it is in the inventory, the weight will be gone.

When you enter a battle, open the menu and recall the equipment set that you have memorized, and you’ll be fine.

Priests and wizards don’t basically equip armor, so I don’t think it’s worth it, but other professions with heavier equipment may be able to get certain effects.

As I spoke to that point, I saw that Gradturk and the others had finished their water.

“Well, let’s go with the new revelation.”

“Hmm. I’ll be the first to arrive next!”

“No, I’m done with the competition.”

Licorice and the others have just informed us that they are waiting for us at the border fort.

From here, the Yavirga Desert and Baska Wilderness are a long way ahead, but these two horses should be able to reach them in no time.

We proceeded further east with Gradturk, aiming to meet up at the border.
