Chapter 773 Request from Larel 3
This Arabian thoroughbred horse named Unicorn is the offspring of the two old horses given by the manor.

Unicorns are reversible, that is, the legs come out of the mother's body first, which leads to a very tragic birth process for the mare. The blood of the mare is exhausted. After giving birth to the unicorn, it whines and even wants to stick out its tongue to lick its own. The baby died if he couldn't do it.

Jerome felt bad luck.

As soon as he took over the manor, he lost a horse directly.

In the era of war, horses were a very precious means of transportation. In this era, owning a luxury carriage with six drivers is definitely a status symbol. Basically, it is not much different from driving a Rolls-Royce in modern times.

But a little pony who lost its mother at birth, how could it survive in such a war-torn era, when people couldn't get enough to eat?

In this era, the people of country F have learned the taste and tasted the taboos, and began to eat horse meat, but Jerome's country still listed horse meat as a forbidden area in the diet.

So not only will the dead mares not bring any economic benefits, but how to bury them is still a problem.

When Jerome just bought the manor, he encountered such a frustrating thing. He waved his hand and said to the servant in charge of feeding the two horses, "You should dispose of it according to the previous rules here."

"My lord, what is to be done with the pony?"

Mom is dead, who is in the mood to talk to this skinny kid?
Jerome shook his top hat impatiently: "Whatever."

In the following time, Jerome wandered around every day, attending dances held by nearby squire residents, hoping to find his own opportunity by making some friends.

A week later, when Jerome returned from hunting with a few squires who were also looking for business opportunities, he found a light gray foal wagging its head on the side of the stable when he sent his old horse, which was almost immobile, to the stable. Running back and forth across the open space.

Jerome froze.

He didn't expect the pony to survive.

At this moment, the person who was watching the pony run back and forth like a child learning to walk with a smile on his face was not the servant who fed the horse before, but a new face.

"You fed the pony alive?"

The servant came over and saluted humbly, but did not speak.

"What about you, did you feed this pony?"

The servant raised his head and glanced quietly at his master, then quickly lowered his head and nodded.

Jerome suddenly remembered that when the former owner of the manor left, he said that there was a person who would never speak again because he witnessed a brutal massacre, but he had no hearing problems at all.

Seeing this servant approaching, Zima, who had been running back and forth, also obediently ran to the servant's side, rubbing against each other, as if very intimate.

Jerome asked again: "How did you keep it alive?"

The mute gestured to the house about three miles away to the side, indicating that their owner was from country F and liked to eat horse meat, so he exchanged a hundred catties of hay and a dead horse for a milk-producing goat.

The pony is fed with goat's milk, and now the little guy can survive on goat's milk and a small amount of forage.

The mute gestured fearfully. A pony can exchange three hundred catties of fodder. In addition, the master was too busy to see anyone in those few days, so he boldly used the hay stored in the stable. If the master really blamed him for his audacity, then You can sell the pony for three hundred catties of hay.

Then he begged the master with red eyes not to do that, the pony was alive and he could raise it.

Equestrianism was a very elegant activity of the nobles at that time, just like golf today, so Jerome was lucky enough to learn some fur. Based on his superficial knowledge of horse physiognomy, this pony has very good bones, although it is still very good. Thin, but the starting speed can already be seen as a good blood horse.

He suddenly remembered what others said about his old horse when he was hunting: "Mr. Jerome looks very good at riding. If you knew this horse ten years ago, you can ride it to participate in the June Lily Competition, maybe you can become famous in one battle, and gain both fame and fortune."

The June Lotus Competition is an equestrian competition held every six months to determine the ownership of the territory.

The other party laughed at his horse being too old, how could Jerome not hear it.

It was just a thought that flashed in my mind at the time, but it popped up again at this moment, maybe, he can really try it?
Jerome then found a new and burly groomer.

The conclusion is that this is definitely a good seed that can be cultivated into a racehorse.

Jerome was overjoyed and ordered the servant who had previously fed the horse to come and take over the care of the young horse.

What I just didn't expect was that the little pony seemed to have a fledgling plot towards Larel. It followed Larel step by step and followed wherever it went. Once it was forcibly pulled away, it would keep screaming "咴咴" Again and again.

Jerome didn't want Larel to feed the pony, firstly because Larel was dumb, and secondly because the previous servants mainly focused on feeding and driving, so they had relatively rich experience, but horses used as racehorses generally It is to be cultivated from an early age, mainly to increase the degree of compatibility with the master's mind.

Excessive violation of the pony's wishes, such a cub that has just been born without a mother, now only recognizes Larel, especially the pony is a purebred Arabian horse, with fast action, great endurance, and another characteristic It's just that they have a strong temper. If they are forced to separate, it may cause Zima to be irritable and unruly.

So Jerome simply ordered Larel to take charge of the two horses in the stable, especially the pony.

For two years, while trying his best to make friends with the upper class, Jerome enslaved the other two servants in the manor to grow more corn and potatoes, barter or exchange for some coins, and at the same time, he could be used as a horse for people to eat. Chewing rations.

Because a piece of cartilage about three centimeters grew on the pony's forehead, Jerome named the pony the Unicorn.

In short, during the past two years, Jerome improved his riding skills while finding someone to help train the horse. When the unicorn was ready to participate in the competition at the age of three, Jerome took it to a friendly match.

Usually this kind of so-called friendly match will have a certain amount of prize money. Of course, this kind of reward is a drop in the bucket compared with Liu Yuelian, but because of the excellent performance of the unicorn, the prize money it usually gets from participating in some small-scale competitions has begun to make it worse. Jerome was no longer struggling to make ends meet and worried that the estate would not survive.

In the following time, the well-known unicorn won No.4 when it participated in the June Lotus competition for the first time, winning a small piece of land for the forces represented by Jerome.
