Chapter 773 Request from Larel 4
And that year, the unicorn was only four years old, and he was considered a barely adult.
Jerome became famous in a battle, and the unknown rider and the same unknown mount became the dark horses of that year, and he continued to win in the next few big and small matches with his unstoppable sharpness.
Three years later, Jerome has become one of the top jockeys that cannot be ignored in the June Lotus arena, and the Unicorn is one of the top ten gods.
It’s okay to say that the skills and rhythm competitions are at most, but the players and horses participating in the obstacle speed competition are suffering from casualties. At this time, there are no camera surveillance equipment. As long as your hands and feet are not seen by others and exposed to the world, it can only be attributed to accidental injuries in the end.
In this case, the unicorn, which is as fierce as a fire, cooperates with its master Jerome, whether it is taking the initiative to attack or avoiding damage, and is like using the fingers to use the arm.
The unicorn always protects its owner from being hurt by other racers and horses as much as possible, so Jerome has never suffered too serious injuries, and it can be said that he has never lost.
Their tacit cooperation allowed Jerome to gain both fame and fortune.
The newly decorated and well-known Ryald Manor is the farm that Jerome originally bought. However, after Jerome became rich in the later period, he continued to buy nearby manors and land, and gradually formed its current scale.
The Fairlyde family, the owner, once said more than once that they would give Jerome a more luxurious house, but Jerome refused to move.
He always told others that this was the first piece of land he had owned in Newward, and he was reluctant to leave.
As for his partner and comrade-in-arms, Jerome even loved unicorns more than his life.
People say that Jerome is a nostalgic and friendship-oriented magical matchmaker. Only in this way can one train and have a magical horse like a unicorn.
When the unicorn was fourteen years old, Jerome had gone from being a garbage player who would participate in the competition with rewards to become a household name in Newward State and even a dozen countries and regions that participated in the land share competition at that time.
There are fewer and fewer games worthy of his own ending. Almost only in the June Lotus Competition twice a year can you see Jerome and the unicorn's majesty and majestic posture of riding together.
As the top jockey of the Fairlyde family, Jerome gets a considerable salary every year.
At this time, Jerome also became a small landlord, owning a winery, more than 100 acres of land, dozens of hired farmers, more than a dozen lifelong slaves, and the respect of the entire upper class.
After years of war, the entire land in Newward State has been divided into about the end.
The nobles who ate the marrow and knew the taste turned their attention to the mysterious area with the richest natural resources in the northwest. Members of the June Lotus Association have passed this agreement to jointly send troops to conquer and divide new territory.
Jerome also signed a new entry contract with the Fairlyde family. Once he participated in all competitions and his winning rate met the standards, he would receive a large manor covering an area of about 1,000 acres and one thousand gold coins at one time.
These wealth will make Jerome a truly rich landlord.
Jerome is thirty-five and unicorn is fourteen. His master and mount are all at the peak of his life.
Jerome knew that the expansion of the colonial population of the June Lotus Association would not be endless. The reason why they used this plundering method to obtain human resources, agricultural resources and natural resources was to foreign trade and accumulate wealth.
War and stability are an eternal cycle. Everything will turn back when extremes are extremes, and good fortune will come.
To put it bluntly, the participants of June Lotus will settle down and carry out industrial and agricultural development after they seize enough land, preparing for their future trade plunder.
Jerome knew that his extraordinary riding skills could indeed bring him wealth and reputation continuously, but the reward would never reach these two times because of the many events held in the land.
He wanted to get rich through riding competitions. Only these two times will never exist again if he missed it.
In order to get better results in the next event, Jerome not only spent a lot of money to prepare a full set of reins, saddles, sweat pads and other equipment for the two horses, but also brought his main horse unicorn and secondary horse racing tops to train vigorously all day long.
Everything is moving towards the dream of wealth and honor in Jerome's heart.
Unfortunately, in the last batch of land division competitions in Newward, the unicorn was constantly provoked by two horses under the intentional control of their owners.
As mentioned earlier, a unicorn is a passionate horse with a strong and powerful nature.
While outstanding advantages, disadvantages also exist objectively.
After long-term training and running-in, the unicorn is already a very mature horse. During the entire competition, it has been trying hard to avoid the opponent's collision and plot, but in the end it is completely aroused to be rebellious in its bones. It raised its front hooves high and prepared to step down the horse owner who has repeatedly taken the initiative to provoke trouble.
In the June Lotus event, this situation is allowed.
If it is not an attack initiated by the rider, it is not considered a violation.
It is precisely for this reason that the opponent's family has been driving horses to disrupt unicorns.
Because the land that ranked first is an alluvial plain with a whole black soil, it is especially suitable for the cultivation of cash crops in large quantities.
They would rather sacrifice two matchmakers than ensure that they won the first place, and their biggest threat is the unicorn.
So they have to kill the horse or get its owner out of the game at all costs.
When the unicorn's front hooves were about to kick the opposite jockey, two crossbow arrows were shot out at the same time in the left and middle directions, aiming at Jerome on the unicorn.
This can no longer be said to be murder, this is a bright attack!
The unicorn went to step on the opposite jockey without hesitation. Jerome might get two arrows and retreated to avoid the arrow on the left. In the crisis, the unicorn chose the last one. It turned the direction with its two legs hanging in the air, and saved Jerome's safety at the cost of breaking one of its right legs.
There was a burst of exclamation inside and outside the stadium!
As the light gray figure of the unicorn fell to the ground, the broken bones and the whine of the horses screaming at the top of their lungs rang out at the same time.
Even in this case, in order to protect the owner's feet and calves in the stirrups from being affected, the unicorn's body was slightly suspended by about ten centimeters!
Jerome on the horse's back was completely scared. He didn't know that the unicorn's right leg had been broken into three pieces, the toe bone, the fourth metatarsal bone and the calf bone were strangely twisted in an impossible posture, with only bloody skin connected in the middle.
He thought the unicorn just fell.
He issued a shouting order, something that no one expected happened. Usually, horses would hurt so much that they would leave their masters behind in this state, and the unicorn actually stood up obediently while neighing!
