After circling around the island, as Kosto had speculated, Black Horse Island was a non-standard oval island.
There was no natural shelter, and the most suitable place to build a harbor was the rock pier where they had anchored last night. However, it was difficult to berth large ships, and the pier was not deep enough. Even medium-sized merchant ships like the Flowers seemed a bit difficult.
When the sun began to release heat.
The crowd gradually went deeper into the hinterland of Black Horse Island to look for the Dragon Horses.
There were few trees on the island, and the undulating mountains were not large, so the field of vision was wide and they could see far away. Markus kept using his telescope along the way to look for traces of the horses, and it didn't take much effort to find what he wanted.
"Sir, this is horse dung, the Dragon Horses are nearby!" When he bent down and turned over a small black ball in the grass with a stick, he said excitedly.
The Knight's familiarity with horse dung was definitely more than the few moles on his wife's body.
Liszt was no stranger to horse dung. He raised his head and looked at the gentle hill in front of him. "It should be on the opposite side of the hill, let's go around."
Dosen took the lead, carrying Liszt and taking small steps.
Markus and the others had no mounts, so they could only trot. After a while, the group successfully crossed the weeds and came to the other side of the hill. Without binoculars, they could see that on the hillside in the distance, a group of black wild horses was leisurely eating grass, very comfortable.
"Dragon Horses!"
"They are all black horses, they should be Dragon Horses!"
"Don't be in a hurry, first observe carefully and count how many horses there are." Liszt calmly took out his binoculars and looked at the Dragon Horses.
In the camera.
The steeds, which were not inferior to the castle's Blackdragon, didn't seem to notice their party and only cared about eating grass and frolicking.
One, two, three … a total of thirty-seven black horses.
It was a very small group of horses, but to Liszt, it was a huge gain. That was because every dark horse here could be a dragon stallion!
After Markus finished counting the horses, he could not suppress his excitement. "My Lord, there are a total of 37 horses. There are 9 foals, and the remaining 28 horses are enough to equip two Knight teams!"
"Teacher Markus, you can have one of them now."
"Thank you, my lord!" Markus wished he could immediately catch a black horse and tame it, but in order to not alarm the horses, he still said, "There must be a Horse King among these wild horses. Sir, you should personally tame the Horse King, so that the remaining Blackdragon won't run away."
Horse King was a common name. Among a herd of wild horses, there would definitely be a leader. It was usually the bravest stallion that led and protected the herd.
Once the Horse King was tamed, the other horses would continue to follow the Horse King's lead. This meant that the entire herd of horses would be tamed.
"Can you confirm which one is the Horse King?" Liszt was eager to give it a try. The Horse King naturally belonged to him. Only the Lord had the right to ride the Horse King.
"It's very simple. We will intimidate the herd, and the one leading it will be the Horse King."
The task of intimidating was directly given to Dosen. As soon as Dosen appeared, the aura of World of Warcraft frightened the Blackdragon herd. Then, the herd stopped eating grass and turned around to run.
"Can you clearly see which one it is?"
"Yes, Sir. The Horse King is the black horse with a purplish red mark on its forehead. It has the longest mane and is also the tallest. I feel that it is more spirited than Sir's Blackdragon."
Upon hearing this, Liszt said: "First, we will clearly examine the surrounding terrain. After the herd relaxes, we will encircle and capture them. I will personally tame the Horse King!"
The Blackdragon herd was already like a turtle in a jar, so there was no need to be too nervous.
Liszt's location was roughly a bit south of the central part of the island. The northern slope of the highest hill was the grazing pasture of the Blackdragon herd. The range of the pasture was very large, stretching from one hill to another, including the valley between the mountains. It was a grassland with sparse trees.
"This is a natural pasture. I found a total of four kinds of high-quality pasture. Sir, please take a look …" Markus was very familiar with the pasture.
"This is Leymus chinensis, which is most suitable for grazing sheep. There are not many of them, but they are very nutritious. This is Needle Grass, which is the favorite food of horses, but the Needle Grass here is a little weak. This is Alfalfa, which has no sprite worms, so it can't grow well. This is Ice Grass, which is a good pasture. Unfortunately, it is not growing well and the plant is short."
The pasture on Black Horse Island definitely had the potential to become a top pasture with a rich variety of pasture. However, the land was barren and there was a lack of sprite worms to take care of it, resulting in the general poor growth of the pasture.
This was probably the reason why there were only 37 Blackdragon horses. The pasture could not support more wild horses.
The team continued to explore.
They went all the way to the northeast of the center of Black Horse Island, climbed the highest hill, and barely got a glimpse of the whole island. The outline of the oval island was lacking in undulations. The highest hill was at their feet, which was estimated to be no more than 300 meters above sea level. In addition, there were three low hills.
The four hills, distributed in the shape of a "mouth", formed the topography of the island.
"First, mark them as Leymus Chinensis Hill, Needle Grass Hill, Alfalfa Hill, and the Ice Grass Hill at our feet." Liszt irresponsibly named the four hills.
Standing at the top of the Ice Grass Hill, one could see that on the hillside of Needle Grass Hill, the Blackdragon horses had begun to graze leisurely again. The grassland stretched from Leymus Chinensis Hill to Needle Grass Hill and half of Alfalfa Hill. On the hillside from Alfalfa Hill to Ice Grass Hill, the number of miscellaneous trees began to increase and the pasture gradually decreased.
"Cut down all the miscellaneous trees here, cultivate the pasture, and expand the size of the Blackdragon horses."
Liszt had already seen the gorgeous picture of the Blackdragon horses galloping back and forth between the four hills in the future. Of course, now was not the time for imagination. He and Markus discussed how to tame the Horse King.
There was not much technical content.
It was to divide the retainer Knight and sailors they brought into four teams and approach the Blackdragon horses from four directions, causing the Blackdragon horses to be at a loss of advance and retreat, panicking and messing up their formation. Then, Liszt directly rushed over, mounted the Horse King, and began taming it. For an elite Earth Knight, taming a horse was very easy.
Therefore.
An hour later.
Liszt put his arm around the Horse King's neck, letting the Horse King jump and gallop all over the hillside.
The man and the horse wrestled.
He was even in the mood to hum a song: "Spin, jump, I close my eyes …"
Another half an hour passed. The Horse King didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and was still running all over the hillside. Compared to when it tamed Blackdragon, the Horse King was clearly stronger and more patient.
But in the end, it still submitted.
After an unknown amount of time, the Horse King lowered its proud head, letting Liszt ride and drive it.
"Congratulations, Sir, for obtaining an even more spirited mount!"
"It is indeed stronger and taller than Blackdragon." Liszt took the handkerchief handed over by Thomas, wiped his sweat, and threw it back. With an unconcealable excitement in his tone, he touched the Horse King's neck, "Do you see the reddish-purple hair on its forehead? Doesn't it look like lightning?"
Liszt faintly smiled.
