The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 165
Although the girl Alustri tried her best to slow down her progress, the Pegasus Stables were not infinitely far away. After experiencing a journey that made William extremely entangled, the destination was still coming.

Perhaps to welcome the arrival of Ms. Guanghui, dozens of white flying horses suddenly soared into the sky, howling across the sky. Although the momentum was not very large, it was also very eye-catching. "Transformer" Frink took the opportunity to change his shape Out of everyone's sight.

William glanced at Frink, who had turned into an ordinary guard, and he looked like he deserved a beating. If the place and time were changed, William would definitely clean him up on the spot and let him know that impersonating others is a sin, but Not now.Watching Frink pass by, William, who was upset in his heart, moved lightly, and his left shoulder swayed slightly, touching Frink's shoulder slightly, which in the eyes of ordinary people was nothing more than a light rub against the hem of his clothes The action almost killed the transgender man.

As far as shapeshifters are concerned, their physical strength is inherently superior to that of humans, and Frink is the best among them, but it is his misfortune to meet William.When William's left shoulder hit Frink, the skin on the shoulder suddenly bounced off, and the strength erupted like a latent volcano. The transgender man suddenly heard the sound of the bowstring of the strong bow, which was the shoulder in William's body. The tendons were exerting force, and then Frink felt a sudden sharp pain in his left shoulder, and almost half of the cartilage in his shoulder (almost all the bones of doppelgangers are soft and plastic cartilage) was shattered.

Although injuries such as broken bones are nothing to the shapeshifter, the intense pain is real.I have to say that Frink's endurance is quite good. He just grunted heavily, gave William a sideways look in surprise and anger, and then staggered away, except that his steps were a little heavy, his head and chest It also hangs down a bit, and there is hardly any abnormality.

Occasionally, a few bystanders at close range only felt that William's shoulders seemed to swell, and his eyes blinked, but they didn't notice anything unusual, so they ignored it as an illusion and turned to watch the scene of the flying horse flying into the air.

The white Pegasus circled a few times in the sky, slid to the open grass and ran slowly, and finally stopped and stood in an irregular row on the edge of the stable, attracting constant cheers from everyone.For the residents of Silvermoon City, although Pegasus is not uncommon, it is quite rare to see a group of Pegasus flying together in the sky, not to mention witnessing the birth of a new Pegasus knight today.

Erastriol didn't notice William's small movements. She lifted her skirt and walked to the open space in front of the Pegasus stables, facing everyone and the Pegasus group, she said loudly: "Today, here, we will witness a new The Pegasus Knight, a brave and steadfast warrior—William! Although he is not yet a citizen of Silvermoon City, William is a warrior who fights to protect goodness and freedom!"

Then she turned to William and said, "William, my warrior, please come forward. Are you willing to guard this land with your long sword in order to combat evil and injustice?"

William came forward with some reluctance, bowed slightly and said, "I am willing, Madam Supreme!" Then he stood there silently, and Erastrio blinked at William a few times, but William pretended not to look at it. There was no reaction at all, and the scene suddenly became a little cold.

Alaszhuo glared at William, who was deliberately uncooperative, turned around and said loudly: "Everyone, get ready and release that special Pegasus. Hehe, William, now you need to tame that irritable little guy, be careful Oh! I wish you good luck, hehehe!" Alastriol's smile seemed a little malicious, and regardless of William's reaction, he walked out of the open space.

Under the command of a middle-aged male mage, more than a dozen magic guards set up a barrier barrier covering the entire stable, and everyone withdrew from the barrier except William.Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar, like a tiger and leopard coming out of the forest, a black shadow broke through the carved wooden fence of the stable, circled in the air and bumped into the spell barrier a few times, but found it insurmountable.The black shadow quickly slid down and ran wantonly on the ground covered with alfalfa grass.

This is the most majestic creature William has ever seen, a Pegasus covered in black ink, different from the handsome Pegasus in general, its head is short, round and vicious like a tiger or leopard, its neck is extremely long, and the mane on its neck Rigid and fluffy as a needle, the whole body is like ink satin and black silk, with layers of muscular protrusions, ribs giving birth to wings, steel feathers as tight as a sail made of iron, Pegasus' abdomen is tight, chest muscles are as high as a hill, limbs are even, hooves are strong and toes are as firm as Mo Tie, with vigorous steps, swift and handsome, and the elegant long tail flowing like water, is very sassy.

Perhaps because it has not run freely for a long time, the black Pegasus gallops and roars recklessly between the grassland and the sky, its roar is like thunder, and its power shakes the whole field.The muscles all over his body were like reinforced iron bones, constantly shaking and jumping while running, exuding endless publicity and vitality.Every time its horseshoe tramples, it is like a giant god beating the ground, and countless alfalfa leaves are flying around, arousing the beauty of infinite power.

William stared blankly at the Pegasus in front of him:
What a divine fluid,

Under that bristly mane?

—it expands infinitely,
Squeezing the veins, rough,

eager and restless,
with dreadful force,
spurted out,

A piece of blue rushing overhead (excerpt from Song of Pegasus).

Not far behind, Erastri shouted loudly: "William! Go up, let it obey you! If you can tame it, that Pegasus is yours!"

William glanced back at Alastriol unconsciously, and then moved his eyes to the black Pegasus again. His eyes were burning like flames. He had to admit that he had been fascinated by the strange beast in front of him.

Pegasus is a kind of spiritual creature, and it is not easy to tame. Generally, the tamer will prepare a magical bridle, and this bridle will release the [Comfort Animal] spell to Pegasus every once in a while.And another spellcaster will cooperate with him to bless the tamer with some spells like [Praise the Art], [Son of the Earth], [Animal Communication], etc., which will help the success rate of taming.

Pegasus before taming will generally be quieter and docile after being blessed with the spell of [Comfort Animals]. At this time, the tamer should put a bridle on the tamed object in time and ride on it.During the taming process, the Pegasus became very irritable, and the tamer had to stay on the horse without a saddle for a while until the Pegasus calmed down.

This is a very dangerous game, because Pegasus can fly, and it is extremely physically strong. It can fly for more than ten hours continuously, and can perform various extremely dangerous aerial maneuvers.It will keep turning somersaults, turning, diving, and standing upside down in the sky to make any action that can shake off the tamer.Once an ordinary tamer gets off the horse, death is likely to be his (her) only end, so a tamer who can cast [Feather Fall] or [Levitation] is the best choice.

Because Pegasus has spirituality, taming Pegasus does not need to be exhausted. The tamer only needs to be recognized by Pegasus to be considered successful. This process may take ten minutes or ten hours, and the length of time does not matter. Sure, and a series of spells blessed by the assistant can control this time period to a shorter time.

Of course, there are more brutal taming methods, such as forced taming such as strong charm and mental coercion, but these taming methods have many shortcomings, one of which is that Pegasus is likely to rebel.

Now William is facing a big trouble. Erastriol did not explain to him the precautions for taming the Pegasus, nor did he prepare any magic bridles. Of course, in the current state of the black Pegasus, no one can put a bridle on it.And William's auxiliary coordinator was not specially equipped, there was only one Alastriol standing not far away to temporarily play this role, but she did not bless William or the black Pegasus with any spells.

William hesitated for a moment, then quickly rushed into the arena, abruptly blocking the running route of the black flying horse.The black pegasus didn't have time to dodge for a while, it jumped up directly, and its two huge front hooves fiercely stepped on William's chest. The dangerous aggressive action of the pegasus caused the surrounding spectators to scream and stare nervously. Big eyes.

Facing the approaching heavy hooves, William did not dodge. He took half a step back with his left foot, sat on the horse with his waist down, and his body bent like a big bow bent to accumulate power. Pegasus' forelimbs.William suddenly yelled, like a thunderbolt on the ground, his whole body turned like a dragon, dragging and throwing with all his strength, and threw the huge black Pegasus out of the way extremely brutally.

However, William's whole body was like a shadow bending over, following the figure of the black Pegasus like a shadow.Pegasus was not without resistance either. With a flap of its wings between its ribs, its huge body immediately regained its balance. The left wing swung flat and drew towards William's face.However, William's body floated up, and happened to dodge the sweep of the Pegasus's left wing, and at the same time, he slapped his palm on the crossbone of its wing, and a dark force rushed into the Pegasus's wing.The muscles controlling the movement of the Pegasus's left wing were stimulated, and it trembled involuntarily. The next vertical movement could no longer be performed, and because the left wing lost control, the black Pegasus had to stretch its right wing, stomping on its four hooves to maintain its own strength. Balanced, the speed also naturally slowed down.

However, William took the opportunity to jump onto the back of the black Pegasus, his left hand clasped the large spine in front of the Pegasus's neck like a pincer, and his right hand grabbed the horse's mane.The sockets of his legs stuck back, unexpectedly stuck the base of Pegasus's wings, and at the same time, the muscles in his legs bounced continuously, constantly hitting the traction muscles between the ribs and wings.The black pegasus found that a human had landed on its back, and immediately became violent. It tried to flap its wings to leave the ground, but because of William's legs, the wings could not use their full power and could not provide enough power for the pegasus to take off.

The black Pegasus roared and ran wildly. At this time, it could neither spread its wings to fly, nor retract its wings and roll on the ground to escape from the control of the horse trainer. The more irritable it became, at last it suddenly turned its head and opened its mouth to bite William on its back.

Facing the biting horse's head, William let go of the horse's mane with his right hand, and slammed the lower lip of the black Pegasus. There was a "crack" sound, but it was the sound of the Pegasus's upper and lower front teeth colliding.William then loosened his legs and left hand, wrapped his right arm around the Pegasus's neck, and assisted with a horizontal push with his left hand. His feet sank suddenly when they touched the ground. William lifted the entire Pegasus again, in an earth-shattering tumbling monument style, black Pegasus was thrown on its back on the grass with its legs up in the sky, struggling with its hooves and wings and whimpering endlessly.
