Li Dragon Horse is Dragon-Blood Horse. If you want to develop the Li Dragon Horse group, the quality of the mare cannot be too bad.
Fire Dragon Horse is the most suitable breeding target, but there is only one horse Fire Dragon Horse, so any horse that can go on the battlefield can be used for breeding.
Marcus's mount Yellow-Gray Horse is a horse breed that can go on the battlefield, but it is just a stallion.
The horses of Gortai, Isaiah, and Blair can basically go to the battlefield, and they are females - females generally do not go to the battlefield easily and are more docile, which is suitable for riding by nobles or descendants of nobles like them who are not very fond of the battlefield.
"I think we won't have any horses to ride on soon." Gortai looked at his mount, which was being whipped by Li Dragon Horse, with an unknown expression on his face.
The most important thing is that this mare obviously did not enter the estrus period. She was forced to bow by Li Dragon Horse Overlord.
This is Liszt's bad taste. His mount Fire Dragon Horse has been ruined by Li Dragon Horse. Naturally, other people's mounts are not spared.
Marcus has a smile on his face.
I don't know whether he was gloating about Gortai's mount being raped, or looking forward to the future of Flower Town horses in droves.
He simply said, "Even pregnant mares can be ridden. There are about 11 months of pregnancy. They can be ridden before seven months. After seven months, the number of rides must be reduced. In addition, do not run strenuously for long distances, as this will increase the risk of miscarriage of the mare."
Marcus knows horses very well, but he is not Flower Town who knows horses best.
The person who knows horses best is Little Papa Island's homeless serf, One-Eyed Button. He once trafficked horses for little Pappa Family. He traveled across the country and north, drank water behind the toilet, and saw many types of horses.
"Lord, I have never seen a more magnificent horse than Li Dragon Horse. It must have an extraordinary bloodline." One-Eyed Button is about forty-five years old. He has a thick beard and one blind eye and one squinted eye.
In order to test his professional knowledge.
Liszt Make him look like a horse Li Dragon Horse.
"Then what do you think it has?"
"I have seen horses of low-level Warcraft blood. Fire Dragon Horse, which the lord often rides, is of low-level Warcraft blood. I have also seen hybrid horses produced by mating intermediate Warcraft Black Nightmare Horse with ordinary horses. It is a new breed bred in a racecourse of the Blast Furnace Kingdom."
Barton shook his head as he spoke, "But there is no Li Dragon Horse divine horse among horses of that breed... It is taller and taller than Li Dragon Horse, but its eyes and energy are lacking. So I guess that its mixed bloodline must be higher than that of an intermediate monster... Maybe it is a high-level monster, I am not sure."
He already had a high estimate of the Li Dragon Horse bloodline, but there was still a gap, which was Dragon-Blood Horse.
Liszt had no intention of speaking out, so he had to keep a low profile. He also asked One-Eyed Button a few questions about horses, and One-Eyed Button answered them clearly and clearly.
So he said directly, "Barton, tell me your last name."
One-Eyed Button's face darkened. "Lord, Barton was once an orphan without a surname. He was raised by a horse dealer since he was a child. Later, little lord Pappa bought Barton from the Blast Furnace Kingdom, and I have been selling horses for little lord Pappa."
"Is that so?" Liszt nodded, "Have you ever been married?"
"No."
Not getting married means that it doesn't matter whether you have a surname or not - if you get married and have offspring, there must be some inheritance. At that time, Barton will probably be renamed Barton·Cyclops?
"In this case, you should stop plowing the fields. I will recruit you as the castle's groom, specifically responsible for managing the horse farm and taking care of the castle's horses."
Barton kowtowed happily. "Barton will definitely take good care of your horse farm!"
Being a groom does not just mean raising horses, but is also a servant belonging to the castle. As long as he makes no mistakes from now on, he will have no worries about food and clothing.
In the aristocratic system, servants are a very important link, responsible for all the work of the castle and maintaining the internal operation of the castle.
Basically.
Servants can be divided into five categories: upstairs servants, Retainer Knight, downstairs servants, kitchen servants and outdoor servants.
Servants upstairs include tutors, family doctors, and escorts for elderly nobles. They generally do not live in the castle, but they can eat with the nobles upstairs.
Retainer Knight, including the retinues who go to the battlefield to do odd jobs and the retinues who follow them to fight. They have their own families.
Downstairs servants, including housekeepers, valets, and maids, are the main staff of the castle and live downstairs.
Kitchen servant, a servant who works in the kitchen.
In addition, there are outdoor servants, which is a general term because it includes grooms, coachmen, foresters, hunters, gatekeepers, gardeners, etc. They generally live in independent houses outside the castle and do not usually work in the castle. Instead, they raise horses, flowers, hunt, etc. for the castle.
If it is a large noble, the servants will be further subdivided.
Hall concierge, caterer, cupbearer, washing servant, housekeeper, valet, secretary, dresser, horse trainer, dog trainer, clown, harpist, drummer, flute player, etc. In short, as long as the nobles need it, they can hire a servant for anything.
Becoming a servant is something worth talking about for common people.
Compared with serfs, servants obviously enjoy a more generous life and do lighter work. Moreover, servant relationships are also established between nobles. It is common for small nobles to serve as servants for large nobles. For example, Gortai, as the down-and-out Baronet Knight, is Liszt's tutor.
Even Count Coral Island, who holds all the power of life and death on this island, Sky Knight, is proud to be the groom of Grand Duke Sapphire.
The longer Liszt lives in a small town and castle, the more he feels that there is no equality between people.
"Take good care of Li Dragon Horse first, Barton. She has been working hard recently. I don't want to see her collapse on a mare one day from exhaustion." Liszt said solemnly, looking at Li Dragon Horse who was working hard day and night.
Barton carefully observed its teeth through the gap between Li Dragon Horse's mouth. "This is still a young horse, and it is normal to be a little restless. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and its estrus will gradually weaken over time. However, the number of times it mates with each mare must be divided."
"First we must ensure that Fire Dragon Horse is pregnant."
"Understood, master." Barton quickly assumed the role of the groom and called Liszt master.
In order to allow Fire Dragon Horse to conceive as soon as possible, Liszt no longer planned to ride Li Dragon Horse and Fire Dragon Horse. He changed to a horse and continued to practice archery.
In mid-July, when he could move quickly while riding a horse, he hit all the arrow targets one by one without straying too far from the target. Marcus announced that he had officially graduated from <Basic Archery> and could start practicing <Multiple Arrow>. After all, he only studied for a week.
Therefore, he is very confident in learning <Multiple Arrow> and hopes to be able to fully master it by August.
"Master, your ice cream." Thomas brought a cup of fragrant ice cream.
Liszt, who was still diligently practicing archery in the scorching hot weather, picked up the ice cream and ate it with big mouthfuls. He felt a chill from head to toe, and the refreshing taste was wonderful. Without the help of ice cream, cold beer, and ice juice, he would never have practiced archery in the summer.
Fortunately, the ultra-small saltpeter mine has now been mined, and a total of three hundred kilograms of saltpeter has been obtained, which is enough to produce enough ice for the castle every day.
At night, a few pieces of ice would be placed in Liszt's study and bedroom to cool down.
As long as there is ice, this summer will not be difficult.
