Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 103: Vegetable acquisition and horse movement

Before leaving the Beastmaster's Guild, I decided to ask about the vegetables sold in the city.

"Where can I get vegetables?"

"Does that mean you want to have a farm and grow them?"

"I don't plan to do it on a full scale, but I thought it would help if I could get vegetables regularly"

"Vegetables..."

When Setia heard this, her eyes lit up with anticipation. Seeing that, they are convinced and tell me.

"Vegetable seeds and seedlings can be obtained through quests at the Farming Guild"

"You can get one small field just for belonging to the farming guild too. After that, it costs a lot of money to grow and add more fields"

I knew there was a guild. And of course it costs money to grow fields...but if you can join a guild, get a small field and get quests, it's worth a try. But I've never seen a field in this town or in the royal capital.

"Where would it be? I don't see any fields here in the royal capital"

"There's a farming village nearby called Verdure. The vegetables here are sent from there"

Verdure is Italian for vegetables. The naming sense is the same as mine. From the sound of it, it sounds like it's close by and I'm sure the library and the farming guild can tell me where it is.

"Thank you very much"

"Huhu. Please let me know if you produce any good vegetables"

"I haven't said I'll grow any yet"

"If you say it with such motivated eyes, it's the same as saying it"

Did I have that kind of eyes...I think it can't be helped because I'm really motivated. So, now that I have more things to do, I'll leave you alone.

We ate some food and buffed up. We decided to head to the ocean first. It was decided that we would go to Verdure village in the afternoon.

So, the first war breaks out over the travel members. Liqueur and Darley use two slots. Inevitably, there are three slots left. Lily and the others are four. One of them is staying home. Ion is indispensable in the sea, so I asked the others for the time being, but it was rejected.

"You can ride a horse with Takuto-san, you know! It's non-negotiable!"

So, when the lottery was decided, the one to stay at home was Ion.

She was depressed with her hands on the ground.

The members were decided, but a second war broke out here. The next question is who will ride the horse with me. No one was willing to give up, so in the end we decided by lottery again and Koihi won.

"I did it! Takuto-oniichan!"

"Well I rely on you"

"Yes!"

Koihi is happy with a big smile on her face. On the other hand, Lily and others.

"Uwaah! I lost!"

"...Ion-oneesama, would you like to replace me? I have a very bad feeling..."

"I also have a bad feeling, so I'll pass"

They were having this conversation. I have a bad feeling about this too, but let's hope I'm not right.

So, the members were decided and we were off to the beach. Me and Koihi went to Darley. Lily and Setia will take Liqueur. The reason? It's embarrassing to ride a white horse. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but for the time being, I think I'll ride Darley.

I'm sure Liqueur will be more than happy with that.

Then we started our first horse ride.

"After all it is fast"

"Yes! The wind feels good"

We were enjoying the comfortable ride. Unfortunately for Lily and Setia, our bad prediction came true.

"Wawa!? Don't get out of control!? Liqueur!?"

"The one who's making him rampage you, Lily-oneesama! Please control the horse properly!"

The horses are controlled by me and Lily. The reason why Lily is operating is that she is equipped with a large sword, so it is possible to fight on horseback with Wolf etc. The length of the sword is very important when fighting animals like wolves. If all of the wolves are going to jump at you, you can use a normal sword, but that won't work.

There are two ways to fight on horseback, one is to hold the reins while fighting and the other is to let go of the reins. The former is one-handed, but allows for normal horse combat. This is the way swords like Lily's are equipped, while the latter is the way bows and magic are used.

The latter is the tricky part. It turns out that when you let go of the reins, the reins lose their effect. In other words, as long as you let go of the reins, you can't control the horse.

This was extremely dangerous. If it was a bow, you could do it in front of you because you could hold the reins immediately after shooting, but not magic. While chanting, you couldn't move and the horse was out of control. I can only see a future of accidents. That's why I think the basic rule for mages is to ride in the back and shoot magic. If I were to use magic in front, I would have to stop and then use it.

The reason why I'm riding in the front is because Koihi hasn't evolved yet, so she can't control a horse. That's why I'm controlling it.

However, Liqueur is wandering from place to place following Lily's control. If you don't have horse equipment, you're definitely falling. We managed to get to the sea, but Lily and Setia weren't there.

"A, Are you okay? Older sisters"

"I'm wobbling~"

"I, I feel uncomfortable..."

In conclusion, it turned out to be dangerous to let Lily operate a horse, let alone fight on horseback. There had been several battles, but Lily had dexterously avoided the attacks. It would be nice if we could make that operation normal.

In the battle itself, the speed of the horses was overwhelming. The enemy was beaten to a pulp because Koihi was able to use magic from horseback. I was controlling the horse and could not participate in the attack.

In these battles, Liqueur and Darley leveled up.

Here's a strange feeling. I'm convinced that Darley's level up is a good thing. He was using his dash during the battle, so it made sense for him to level up. If Lily and Setia hadn't been using it, they wouldn't have used Liqueur, so they wouldn't have leveled up.

However, it is impossible for Liqueur to level up by two levels. We actually fought goblins and crows. It's not an enemy with that much experience value. And yet, this level up.

When I thought about it, I had an idea. When Liqueur had evolved, he had evolved at the same level he had gained in the Orc battle. At that time, the experience points of Kotetsu, Chess and Byakuya, which are high in level, are enough to raise the level by 2.

I knew the math didn't add up, but I guess we should assume that when you reach the evolution level, the rest of your experience is carried over to the next time.

Next is the info.

This is the first time you've done riding combat. You have earned the title Riding Combatant

Horsemanship skill has been released

It's been a while since I got a title. And the horsemanship skill has been released!

I guess the name suggests that it's a skill that stabilizes riding combat. Anyway, let's check out the title first.

Title Riding Combatant

Effect: Increases the horse's agility and dexterity when mounted and releases the horsemanship skill.

This title is earned by those who have engaged in mounted combat.

Only the horsemanship skill means that you can fight with arrows, staffs, swords and spears with the same martial arts.

The devil in me whispers, I should get the horsemanship skill. I'll admit that it's good, but it's not good enough. I'm running out of skill points to spare.

I don't have any weapons and I'm not going to get any right now...I'm sorry.
