Endless vast other world

Chapter 50
The song is over.

Amid flowers and applause from the crowd, the female singer withdrew.

Late at night.Sora and Ke Ni were also sleepy and decided to leave the dance hall.

Moira went out with them.

So they went out of the box.Immediately involved in the rolling crowd in the corridor.

They were pushed and jostled.

Suddenly going east, sometimes going west, there is no room for maneuver around.

What I saw in front of my eyes were all the top hats worn by the men.

As for the women.They are two by two, sticking to the men's elbows, chests and backs, passing through and passing among the men.

They are so unrestrained and do whatever they want.Just like in your own home.

Their steps are so light and agile.

Women are like fish swimming in water.In this torrent of men, it appears and disappears.

Finally squeezed out of the dance hall.

Sora and the others turned left.Arrived in a courtyard on the street with an awning.

In the courtyard, there are two large pools with rough design, spraying water constantly.

This makes the air in the courtyard extraordinarily refreshing and pleasant.

In the pots, there are yews and arborvitae.There are already some men and women sitting at the small table nearby.

Sora and the others also sat down here.

"Another beer?" Moira asked Sora.

"No, no." Sora refused.

Sora and the others sat down, looked at the people in twos and threes, and walked past.

Kerney asked, "Where are we going to live tonight?"

Moira said, "Don't worry. I'm at the hotel and I've made arrangements for you."

The three of them rested in the courtyard for a while before arriving at the hotel.

Needless to say, the luxury of the hotel.As soon as Sora entered, he mistakenly thought that he had entered the palace of the royal capital.

"Your room is on the top floor. It's the best room in the entire hotel," Moira said.

"Thank you." Sora was grateful.

"Oh, wait," Kerney said.

"You just said it was a room?"

"Yeah," Moira said.

"But there are two of us..." Kerney said.

Moira smiled slyly.

"You two, don't you sleep together at night?"

Before Moira finished speaking, Sora almost jumped up.

"How could Kenny and I sleep together at night?"

Moira continued to play dumb and asked, "Huh? Aren't you two a couple?"

Sora hastily denied it: "Of course not."

The smile grew wider on Moira's face.

Moira turned to Kerney and asked:
"Since the two of you are not lovers, why were you jealous of those two women when you were in the dance hall just now?"

"I-I-I-I...I'm not jealous..." Ke Ni blushed.

"It's just that those two women are really annoying. Everyone wants to drive them away..."

"Really..." Moira deliberately elongated her voice.

Seeing that Souma and Kenny were blushing and lowered their heads, Moira stopped teasing them.

Moira produced two keys.

"I'm kidding you... of course I have prepared two rooms for you."

"This...that's right..."

Sora and Keni took the keys and went to the room.

Moira also turned and left.

Before leaving, Moira reminded Sorama and Keni not to forget Terry's invitation tomorrow morning.

Sora entered the room and found that the room was really luxurious.

Even, far better than his room in Herringborg.

See things and think about things.Sora couldn't help thinking about the fact that he needed to find a house.

"Oh..." Sora sighed.

How much Kong Zhen hopes to find a suitable house.

It doesn't need to be so luxurious, just enough to live in.

The next day, Sora woke up early.Although he was very busy last night, he was quite energetic in the morning.

What the hell was Terry taking himself to see?

Moira also came early to pick up Souma and Keni.She takes Souma and Kerni to the racetrack.

Until this time, Sora was able to see the true face of the racetrack.

The entire city of horse racing is a square inlaid in huge glass.And the racetrack is just a corner of this square.

but.Since horse racing was Oberstein's main publicity stunt, the racecourse must also be luxurious.

As soon as Sora entered the racetrack, he was immediately stunned.

A racetrack is a bit like an arena.A large open space in the middle is for the centaur race.There are auditoriums all around.

There is a standard circular horse racing track in the competition venue.The track is wide and wide, allowing dozens of centaurs to compete at the same time.

The circle around the racetrack is full of spectator stands.The layers of buildings can accommodate countless audiences.

On the east side of the arena, a building protruding from the general viewing platform is the commentary platform.Used to explain the game.

The racetrack is covered.It is for racing even in rainy weather.

The vast green dome is majestic and magnificent.It's like a huge eggshell that encloses the racetrack.

The most amazing thing is.On the top of this man-made dome, a cloud pattern is outlined in blue and white.

Such an artificial dome is exactly the same as the natural sky,
If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all, the sky at the racetrack is artificial.You'd think the racetrack didn't have a roof.

Although it was morning, it was still early before the game started.

but.Sora noticed.At the entrance of the Happy Valley Racecourse, it was already full of people.

The crowd was diverse.Not only humans, Kongma also saw many elves, dwarves, treants... and even a few mermaids sitting in special mobile fiberglass.

Even human beings come in all shapes and sizes.Knights, explorers, swordsmen, fighters... almost everything.

but.Sora noticed.I and Ke Ni are present, the only two, two magicians.

There is nothing surprising about this either.

The world is like this, everyone is struggling.A magician who needs intellect and ideals to become a magician has long been a rare thing in the world.

"Sorama, Kenney! Here, here!"

Sora heard someone calling himself in the stands.

The sound came from the high stands.

Sora looked up and saw that it was Terry.

He was sitting in the stands, waving to Sorama.

Sora, Keni and Moira came to Terry.

Sora looked around.

"The view here is really good." Sora said.

From this seat, you can overlook the entire racecourse and see it clearly.

"That's it!" Terry said proudly.

"It was specially prepared."

The game hasn't started yet.Sora and Terry chatted without saying a word.

Terry asked Sora: "You didn't tell Prive about this, did you?"

"No." Kong Zhen said.

Terry smiled and let out a long sigh of relief:

"I just want to use this trick to lure you to Oberstein for a vacation. If you tell Prive about it and he takes it seriously and thinks I'm in trouble, then it's going to be bad gone?"

"I see."

Only then did Kongma understand why Terry repeatedly said in the letter that Kongma should not tell Pulev about this.

Terry asked Sora again about Pulifu's recent situation.

Kong Zhen told Terry that Pulifu has been very well recently.As the supreme officer of Heilenburg and the head of the Royal Knights, he has been busy training the royal guards recently.

Terry was delighted to hear that.He told Kongzhen that without Pulifu, he would not be who he is today.

Back then, after Terry awakened, he was unwilling to make cold weapons and escaped from the dwarf tribe.

At noon on a scorching sun, Terry fainted to the ground due to exhaustion and hunger.

Fortunately, Pulifu came here with a group of human knights and rescued him.

After that, Terry followed Pulifu to the front line.Made great contributions in the war.

After that, a deep friendship was formed between Terry and Pulev.

Terry asked Sora again about King Bussen.

Sorama immediately thought of Princess Biviti.

After deliberating for a long time, Kong Zhen finally told Terry about Biviti.

Terry was silent for a long time after listening.

After a long time, Terry said slowly: "I reminded Prive at the beginning that he should be vigilant. But, alas..."

"Who would have thought that such a thing would happen... What a pity, what a pity..."

Terry was devastated.

Sora also told Terry.Since Princess Biviti's death, these days, except for necessary office work, King Buson hardly showed up.Close yourself in a small room every now and then.

The two chatted and talked about Ouya again.

Terry approached Sora and said mysteriously:
"Do you think that the elf named Ouya has some secrets?"

"Is there?" Sora didn't understand.

Terry said: "Don't you remember? At the beginning, when you told Ouya that 'healing magic can only be used for other people', the elf suddenly fell on the chair."

"Then, she stood up in a trance, went back to her room without saying a word."

"Obviously, Ouya must have had some problems with healing magic."

"Maybe." Sora said.

Sora doesn't really care about that.He is not used to pointing fingers at other people's affairs.

Terry was a little surprised when he learned that Sora had returned the Elven Eyes to Ouya.

"Obviously the eye of the elf is such a powerful thing... If you can equip the eye of the elf into your battle suit..." Terry felt a little regretful.

Kong Zhen said: "Elf eyes, in the final analysis, are still holy artifacts of the elves. Ouya is the guardian of the elf eyes. I will return the elf eyes to her. It is also a matter of course.

Terry thought for a while and said to Sora: "You are the only person in the world who can use the power of the eyes of the elves, except for the elf queen Doris."

Terry paused, and said, "I've lived for so long and realized one thing."

"That's it. Fate is beyond words."

"Maybe, Sorama, you will meet Elf Eye again in the future."

"Who knows?" Sora looked down at the ground.

"I hope so."

During the conversation.The horse race is finally about to start.

Sora had never seen a horse race before.

In Kong Zhen's imagination, a race between half-horses should be a more solemn event.When watching the game, maybe you will be asked to wear a hat, dress up and so on.

Unexpectedly, the actual situation is exactly the opposite of what Kong Ma thought.

The semi-circular grandstand, like an arena, was densely packed with people from bottom to top.

People are crowded together like planks bound together by iron ropes.

In the cheers of the crowd.Dozens of centaurs slowly came out.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, it caused screams and commotions from the crowd.

The screams of the woven crowd kept sweeping the auditorium.Tease people's intoxicated nerves.

In the auditorium, countless beers and hot dogs were added early.All in unlimited supply.

In the open space in the center of the racetrack, there is also a band singing passionately.They sang exciting songs.

Before the band, there were countless girls dancing hotly.

At this moment, Sora noticed.All the centaurs participating in the competition were all women.

Moreover, they are all young and beautiful girls.

why?
Moira knew everything about Oberstein.She told Sora:
"It turned out that under Laurent's generous preferential treatment, countless centaurs came to Oberstein."

"When Oberstein was first built, the centaurs who participated in the competition were of course male and female, old and young."

"But. You also know. Horse racing is Oberstein's publicity stunt. So there is no doubt that it must be to please the audience."

"What the audience loves most is who is running the race?"

"Does it need to be said, it must be a young centaur girl."

"Over time, it became what it is now,"

"Nowadays, all of Oberstein, all the horse races, are young centaur girls."

"They are called, racehorse girls."

Hearing that, Sora really couldn't help but laugh.

But think about it.It is true.

Maybe male centaurs run better than female centaurs.But who would want to see it?

Since she is a racehorse girl, isn't she a monster girl just like a cat girl like Ellie?

During the conversation.All the horse girls have come to the field of competition.

Ready to go, they stood by the gate.

They all wore uniforms.On the back of the clothes, their numbers are embroidered.

Although they are girls, they are all quite strong and vigorous.

Then a shrill bell rang.The gate opened instantly.

Dozens of racehorse girls leaped into the air in unison.

They run wildly at an astonishing speed.In the blink of an eye, the starting line was slammed a hundred meters away.

"Come on! Come on!"

Surprising shouts erupted from the auditorium.

Sora listened carefully.Cheering cheers are not limited to human language.

He heard many languages, even the ancient Elvish.

In the chaotic noise, Sorama couldn't hear anything clearly.

Terry on the side said something to him.After repeating it several times, Sora couldn't hear it.

Terry's voice was completely submerged in the vocals.

Terry had no choice but to grab Kongzhen by the collar and lower his head.

Terry pressed against Kong Zhen's ear and shouted at him:
"I mean! Get your attention on Number Six! Number Six!"

Jockey girl No. [-]?
Among dozens of horse race girls, it is not difficult to find the number six horse girl.

Because she was the one who ran in front.

She runs so fast!Like a bolt of lightning, piercing the night.

That speed, even Sora, who has a battle suit and can fly, highly appreciates her.

"Haha! No. [-] did really well today!"

The sound came from behind.

Sora turned his head to look.Is an old man.

The old man said confidently: "In my opinion, today's champion is definitely the No. [-] racehorse girl!"

Although the old man was old, he was in good spirits and well-dressed.

He held a wooden pipe in his mouth.Take two puffs when you talk.

Holding a delicate quill in his hand, he kept writing and drawing on the paper, as if he was researching something.

The most conspicuous thing is the hat on his head.

Ordinarily.This well-dressed old man should be wearing a tall gentleman hat.This is in line with his identity.

but.The old man wore a simple hat on his head.

No.It is not simple to say simple.

On that hat, there is a striking logo of the Oberstein Horse Club.

There is no doubt that this is a commemorative hat of Jockey Club.

Why are you wearing this hat?

You can imagine.In the eyes of this old man, this hat is the truly iconic hat.

This hat is his symbol of honor.

This shows how obsessed he is with horse racing.

The aura of the old man's whole body, invisibly, told others:

He is the real player in this field.

"However, I am more optimistic about No. [-]!"

At this time, another voice sounded.

is a young man.He stood beside the old man.

The young man said: "In my opinion, today's champion is definitely No. [-]."

The interjecting young man, dressed in casual attire, is casually chewing gum.

Obviously, this young man just came here for the purpose of curiosity.

The old man is getting old and used to being alone.

but.Hearing that someone questioned his prediction, the old man was not afraid to compete with him.

The old man turned his head, faced the young man, and said seriously:

"I have been in this horse racing city for more than forty years. I have been here for as long as this racecourse has been built. You brat, can I understand?"

From time to time, the old man's words revealed the freedom and pride of a senior player.

The young man was very disdainful when he heard the old man's words.

He chewed the gum in his mouth.explain:

"I said, this old man. How come you have been here for 40 years, and you don't even know the racehorse girl's bloodline?"

"The No. [-] racehorse girl is a horse with no bloodline. The No. [-] racehorse girl has a noble blood flowing in her body. No matter how you think about it, No. [-] is sure to win."

The old man was very angry when he heard this.

His veins popped.Waving the notebook in his hand.

The old man spread out the notebook and unfolded it for the young man to read.

"For the past 40 years, every day when I watch horse racing, I have been making accurate predictions. The No. [-] horse racing girl is the one who works the hardest among all the horse racing girls."

"Young brat. You mean my predictions are meaningless? You mean hard work is no match for blood?"

That notebook was indeed filled with various records.

The old man almost stuck the notebook to the young man's face.

The young man dodges the angry old man.

Kong Zhen hurriedly persuaded the fight:

"Okay, okay, you all calm down. Winning or losing depends on the final game."

Only then did the two calm down.

The old man took the notebook back, angrily, and continued to watch the game.

While speaking, the competition has reached a feverish stage.

in the audience.Friends in groups of three or four cheered enthusiastically while drinking beer.

Of course, couples in love are indispensable.

They regard Happy Valley as a playground, venting their stress, boredom and emotions as they please.

The No. [-] racehorse girl was still the best, running ahead.

Her vigorous figure is really impressive.

The No. [-] racehorse girl also came in second.

However, the distance between No. [-] and No. [-] has been greatly increased.It is estimated that it will be difficult to catch up.

Seeing that the finish line is getting closer, there should be no suspense about the outcome.

The smile on the old man's face became more and more obvious.

The noisy sound of horses treading, from far to near.

The racehorse girls are gradually approaching the finish line.

in the audience.People's heartbeat and breathing also gradually tightened.

Multiple languages, mixed with shouts one after another, pushed the atmosphere of this "horse carnival" to its climax.

"boom!"

A horse has crossed the line!
The audience cheered in unison.The cheers seemed to knock the roof off the racetrack.

Sora is also very happy.Number six won.

and many more!

wrong!

Sora took a closer look.

No.no.Not No. [-] Jockey Girl.

The first to cross the line was No. [-] Jockey Girl.

What!Horse girl No. [-]?
How can this be?

Sora felt incredible.

Kongzhen clearly sees it.When approaching the finish line, there was such a large distance between No. [-] and No. [-].

How did No. [-] racehorse girl surpass No. [-] and run to the front at such a fast speed in such a short period of time?
"Humph!"

Behind Sora, the young man was elated.

He folded his hands on his chest and looked at the old man with disdain.

"I'll just say it. Number five is going to win."

The young man spat out his gum and left the auditorium.

Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Work hard? What hard work? How can hard work compare to blood?"

The old man stood there blankly.

Some look at a loss.

The audience gradually dispersed.The racetrack returned to silence.

The game is over.

Sora is rather curious.

He really couldn't figure out what kind of skill the No. [-] racehorse girl used to surpass No. [-] at such a fast speed in an instant.

Sora still saw it.The No. [-] racehorse girl looked proud, with heavy make-up on her face.After winning the first place, she even gave No. [-] racehorse girl an airy look.

Terry drags the empty clothes:
"Sorama, by the way, aren't you curious at all? Why did I come to Oberstein and get such a guest treatment?"

Having said that, Sorama also began to feel a little strange.

yes.Although, Terry was once a blacksmith who made great achievements in battle.But now, he is just an old dwarf wandering around with nowhere to go.

In Oberstein, where every inch of land is expensive, why did people give him such high treatment when he came here?He was invited to drink again, and he was invited to watch a horse race.

Terry pulled Sora out of the audience.

"Let's go. I'll take you to meet horse girl number six."

What?Can I meet horse girl No. [-] directly?
I really don't know why.

He followed Terry to the racecourse.

After the race, the racehorse ladies had all dispersed.

Some came in small groups, talking and laughing, and returned to the lounge.

but.The race is over, but the No. [-] racehorse girl is still on the racecourse, training seriously.

She stopped when she saw Terry and the others coming.

Terry introduced: "Kongma, this is the No. [-] racehorse girl. Her name is Tinijie."

Tinijie is a young racehorse girl.

She was beautiful, youthful, and radiant.Without losing the sense of strength.

Sora noticed.There is an irregular piece of fur on Tinijie's chest.The grain resembles a mature ear of wheat.

There is also a white spot on Tinijie's right hind leg.Shaped like water droplets.

Terry told Kongzhen: "It was she who sent me and Ouya from Yinqi Forest to the Royal Capital."

Sora suddenly remembered.

At first.Sora finally defeated Gunnar in the Yinqi Forest and rescued Ouya who was imprisoned.

At that time, Kenny was still confined in Helenburg, without freedom.

Sora learned from Terry.There is a way to give Kenny her freedom back.

It is to participate in the Warrington Cup and win the championship.

Then you can get a wish and set Kerni free.

Although it is very dangerous to participate in the Linton Cup.But for Ke Ni, Sora is of course willing to fight hard.

but.Four days after the Linton Cup, it will begin.

Kongzhen, Ouya, and Terry need to rush from Yinqi Forest to Wangdu within three days to register for the Lington Cup.

Sora could fly in his battle suit by himself, but it passed in no time.

But how did Ouya and Terry get there?
If you walk slowly, it will definitely be too late.The Killington Cup starts in four days.

Terry didn't want Souma to fly while wearing his battle suit.

Terry is getting old, and he can't stand this set of old bones.

And Ouya.A long time ago, elves could still fly.But then slowly, the elf's wings gradually degenerated and turned into something similar to decoration.

Only extremely strong elves, like Doris, the Queen of Elves, can awaken their wings.

Ouya is also unable to fly with her tiny wings.

Kong Zhen had no choice but to put on his battle suit and fly to the capital first.

What happened to the rest of Ouya and Terry?

Terry and Ouya also knew that they couldn't get to the capital within three days just by walking.

They had to find another way.

exactly.Not long after leaving Yinqi Forest, Ouya and Terry met a horse race girl.

After listening to their situation, the horse race lady offered to help.

She drove Terry and Ouya all the way for two days and two nights, and finally caught up.

It's amazing!For two days and two nights, this horse race girl didn't take a minute off.Can still maintain such a fast running speed.

It turned out that the horse race girl was Tinijie.

Seeing Tinije in front of him, Sora was very grateful.

If Tinijie hadn't sent Ouya and Terry to the capital, Terry had arrived in Helenburg in time to prove it for Sora.How could it be possible for Sora to participate in the Linton Cup?

If you can't participate in the Linton Cup, you won't be able to rescue Ke Ni.

It can be said.If it weren't for Tinijie's help, Kongzhen wouldn't be where he is today.

"You know what, Sora," Terry said.

"Until now, I can still recall the speed when Tinijie carried me."

"The speed at which she runs is simply flying... I have never seen a centaur that can run so fast on the battlefield of the Wilfried War..."

Terry touched his chest, and still has lingering fears.

"At the time, I didn't know that she was Oberstein's racehorse. But then, I predicted that she was a rising star."

"At that time, I dared to predict that in the future, she would definitely be a very outstanding horse race girl."

"Heroes are born on young people," Terry said.

Sora is very grateful to Tinijie.

Kong Ma said to Tinijie: "Thank you, Tinijie. If it weren't for your help back then, I wouldn't have been able to participate in the Linton Cup."

Tinijie was very polite: "You're welcome. At that time, I was just training in the field, and I happened to pass by the Yinqi Forest, so I just stopped by to help."

Field training is a favorite training method for many racehorse girls.

Centaurs retain the characteristics of horses.They like to run.Run like the wind.Running is an instinct for them.

In the original time, the centaurs didn't have any "runway".The usual training, even competitions, are carried out in the wild.

Therefore, during daily training, many racehorse ladies feel that instead of training on the track, it is better to go directly to the wild and train in nature.

They will start from Oberstein.Run freely in the wild everywhere.Travel freely between cities.

When Tinijie was training in the field, he happened to pass by the Yinqi Forest, so he helped.

Sora has actually seen the field training of racehorse girls.

At that time, he set out to fight against Modan Lite, together with Fu Nuo and Karen, to rescue Princess Viviti.

It wasn't long after leaving the capital and walking on the road.Suddenly, a large group of horseshoes sounded in the distance.

Sora tensed up, thinking that something unexpected had happened.

Sora got off his horse, stood on a high place and looked out, seeing a spectacular scene.

A large group of horse race girls are running in the wilderness.

They are not marching in an orderly line.Instead, they are competing.

A racehorse lady had just desperately rushed to the front.The other one will be more aggressive, trying to surpass her with all its strength.

Seen from a distance, their team raised a large cloud of dust.

The guide told Sora that this is the horse girl training in the field.

Terry told Sora: "The Linton Cup competition is over. After I left the capital, I wandered around. Walking and walking, I came to the outskirts of Oberstein."

"What a coincidence. On the outskirts of Oberstein, I happened to meet Tinijie again."

"At Tinijie's invitation, I came to Oberstein and had a good time."

No wonder.It turned out that there were acquaintances here.Terry, an old dwarf wandering around, will be treated with great hospitality.

Tinijie smiled and said to Sora: Oberstein is very interesting here.There are all kinds of fun.Have a good time here and enjoy it. "

Terry said to Sora: "I invited you to the city of horse racing, just to let you meet Tinijie."

"Now that you've seen it, you're free. You can do whatever you like. Let's have a good time here at Oberstein."

Before Sora could speak, Moira pulled away.

"Let's go," Moira said.

"I'll take you for a walk here in Oberstein."

Before leaving, Sora turned his head inadvertently.

He saw that there was a very sad look on Tinijie's face.

No wonder.After all, in the competition just now, she came in second and lost.

but.Is it so sad just to lose a game?
Is there something else hidden?
but.Before Sora could think about it, he was pulled away by Moira.
