Lilong horses are dragon stallions. If you want to develop Lilong horses, the quality of the mares should not be too bad.
The fire dragon horse is the most suitable breeding object, but there is only one fire dragon horse, so any horse that can go to the battlefield can be brought in for breeding.
Marcus's yellow-grey horse was a breed of horse capable of battle, but a stallion.
The horses of Goltai, Isaiah, and Blair are basically capable of going to the battlefield, and they are mares-mares are generally not easy to go to the battlefield, and are more docile, suitable for nobles or nobles like them who don't like the battlefield very much The descendants ride.
"I think we won't have any horses to ride soon." Gao Ertai looked at his mount, which was being flogged by the Lilong horse, with an expression on his face that he didn't know.
The most important thing is that this mare is obviously not in estrus, it was forced to bow by Lilong Ma Bawang.
This is Liszt's bad taste. His mount, Fire Dragon Horse, has already been ruined by Li Longma. Other people's mounts, of course, cannot be spared.
Marcus had a smile on his face.
I don't know whether he was gloating about the rape of Galtai's mount, or looking forward to the future where there will be a herd of horses in Huahua Town.
He simply said: "Even pregnant mares can be ridden. About 11 months of pregnancy belong to the pregnancy period. You can ride before seven months, and you have to reduce the number of rides after seven months. In addition, don't be violent. long-distance running, which increases the risk of miscarriage for mares.”
Marcus knows horses very well, but he is not the most horse-savvy person in Flower Town.
The one who knows horses best is the one-eyed Barton, a serf from Little Papa Island. He once traded horses for Little Papa's family, traveled from south to north, drank water behind the toilet, and saw many types of horses.
"My lord, I have never seen a horse more handsome than the Lilong horse. It must have extraordinary pedigree." One-eyed Button is about forty-five years old, with a thick beard and one blind and one narrowed. eyes.
In order to examine his professional knowledge.
Liszt asked him to look after Ma Lilongma.
"Then what do you think it's pedigree?"
"I have seen horses of low-level monster bloodlines. The fire dragon horse that the lord often rides is of low-level monster bloodlines. I have also seen mixed-blood horses bred by mid-level magic beast black nightmare horses and ordinary horses. It was in the Kingdom of Blast Forge A new breed bred on a horse farm."
As Barton said, he shook his head: "But that breed of horse is not as good as the Lilong Ma Shenjun... It is taller and bigger than the Lilong Ma, but its eyes and energy are not enough. So I guess, its mixed blood must be stronger than the Lilong Ma. Mid-level monsters are higher... maybe high-level monsters, I'm not sure."
He already had a high estimate of the Lilong horse lineage, but there was still a gap, which was the dragon stallion.
Liszt didn't intend to say anything, so he kept a low profile. He investigated some questions about horses from One-Eyed Button, and One-eyed Button answered them logically.
So he said directly: "Barton, tell me your last name."
One-eyed Barton's face darkened: "Master Lord, Barton was once an orphan without a surname. He was raised by a horse dealer since he was a child. Later, Lord Papa bought Barton back from the Kingdom of Blast Furnace Castle. I have been supporting little Papa The lord sells horses."
"Is that so?" Liszt nodded, "Have you ever been married?"
"No."
Not married, which means that it doesn't matter whether you have a surname or not - if you get married and have offspring, there must be a little bit of inheritance. At that time, Barton will probably change his name to Barton Cyclops
"Since this is the case, you don't need to plow the fields. I'll hire you as the groom of the castle, who will be responsible for managing the horse farm and taking care of the castle's horses."
Button kowtowed happily: "Barton will definitely take good care of your lord's horse farm!"
A groom doesn't just mean raising horses, but also a servant belonging to the castle. As long as he doesn't make mistakes in the future, he will have no worries about food and clothing.
In the aristocratic system, servants are a very important link, shouldering all the work of the castle and maintaining the internal operation of the castle.
basically.
Servants can be divided into five categories: upstairs servants, retinue knights, downstairs servants, kitchen servants and outdoor servants.
The servants upstairs, including tutors, family doctors and escorts of the elderly nobles, generally do not live in the castle, but they can eat with the nobles upstairs.
Retinue knights, including those who go to the battlefield to do odd jobs, and those who follow and fight with them, they have their own families.
Downstairs servants, including butlers, valets, and maids, who are the main staff of the castle, live downstairs.
Kitchen servants, servants who work in the kitchen.
In addition, there are outdoor servants. This is a general term, because it includes grooms, coachmen, forest rangers, hunters, gatekeepers, gardeners, etc. They generally live in independent houses outside the castle and do not usually work in the castle. It is for raising horses, raising flowers, hunting and so on for the castle.
If it is a big noble, the servants will be further subdivided.
Hall concierge, caterer, bartender, laundry servant, housekeeper, valet, secretary, dresser, horse trainer, dog trainer, jester, luthier, drummer, flute player, etc., in a word, As long as the nobles need it, they can hire a servant for anything.
To be a servant is something worth talking about for common people.
Compared with serfs, servants obviously enjoyed a better life and did lighter work. Moreover, there will also be a servant relationship between nobles, and it is common for small nobles to serve as servants for big nobles. For example, Galtai, as a down-and-out knight, is Liszt's tutor.
Even the Earl of Coral Island, the sky knight who holds all the powers of life and death on this island, is proud to be the groom of Grand Duke Sapphire.
The longer he lived in the small town and castle, the more Liszt felt that people are not equal.
"Take care of the Lilongma first, Barton. It has been working very hard recently. I don't want to see it tired on a certain mare one day." Liszt said solemnly, looking at the Lilongma who worked day and night.
Barton carefully observed Lilongma's teeth through the opening of its mouth: "This is still a young horse. It's normal to be a little restless. Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, its estrus will gradually weaken over time. But it must be divided well." The number of times it has mated with each mares."
"First of all, we must ensure that the fire dragon horse is conceived."
"Understood, master." Barton quickly assumed the role of groom, and called Liszt master.
…
In order to allow the fire dragon horse to conceive as soon as possible, Liszt no longer planned to ride the Li dragon horse and the fire dragon horse. He changed to a nasty horse and continued to practice archery.
When he is in mid-July, when he can move fast on a nagous horse, he can hit all the arrow targets one by one, and will not deviate too far from the bull's-eye. Marcus announced that he had officially graduated from "Basic Archery" and could start practicing "Multiple Arrows". With all his calculations, he only studied for a week.
Therefore, he is very confident in the study of "Multiple Arrows", hoping to fully master it when August comes.
"Sir, your ice cream." Thomas brought a cup of fragrant ice cream.
Liszt, who was still practicing arrows diligently in the hot weather, picked up the ice cream and ate it with big mouthfuls. A coolness spread from head to toe, and the refreshing taste was wonderful. Without the help of ice cream, cold beer, and ice juice, he would never practice archery in the summer.
Fortunately, the ultra-small saltpeter mine has been mined now, and a total of 300 catties of saltpeter have been obtained, which is enough to produce enough ice for the castle every day.
At night, Liszt's study and bedroom would put a few pieces of ice to cool down.
With ice, this summer will not be difficult.
