Chapter 775: Chapter 169: Ulterior Motives_2

"The mount I caught!" Nedved boasted proudly as the giant toad croaked in agreement.

"What the!" Liu Zhenhan was stunned, looking at this enormous toad, weighing two to three tons in disbelief. "This is a high-level magical beast, and you caught it to use as a mount...why are you staring at me...I’m not doubting your skills, I believe you could have killed it, but how did you manage to capture it alive? And now it’s so obedient? I’ve been wanting to ask you, tell me quickly."

"I used our house’s secret technique called ’Horse Appraisal Technique’," the centaur archer Nedved patted his chest, "Fortunately, O’Neal and you, boss, charged forward, leaving this opportunity for me."

"Horse Appraisal Technique?" Liu Zhenhan’s head went buzzing, utterly confused.

Liu Zhenhan had heard of the ’Horse Appraisal Technique’. It was a secret art summarized by the wise elder Bo Le of the ancient house clan, using their dialect. It was passed around only within the house clan, exclusively to males and kept within the family. After several world wars, this ancient technique had gradually faded within the house clan. Essentially, the ’Horse Appraisal Technique’ was nothing more than distinguishing which horses were good and which ones were not. And then using the ’secret training language’ to communicate with these horses, gaining absolute mutual trust... it was quite similar to the summoning of magic pets, but the success rate of the house clan’s ’secret training language’ was one hundred percent, undoubtedly much stronger than the ’Spirit Communion Song’.

Due to their gentle nature, horses became the best means of transportation. Most of the orcs in the Bimon Kingdom were not very strong, and many were quite tiny. Just like Wolf, who tamed a ferocious wolf as his mount, tiny beamons wouldn’t dare to do that. Thus, the best service beasts were the gentle horses. The swine mounts of Pigiel race Cavalry could not compare to horses in either sprinting capacity or endurance.

Each year, Bimon Kingdom exported a small number of house clan’s warhorses to human traders. The horses chosen by the house clan using the ’Horse Appraisal Technique’, if properly raised, could reach half a ton...almost as strong as a small elephant, making them absolutely perfect as mounts for heavy cavalry.

On the entire Aegean Continent, except for the House Beamon who mastered "Horse Appraisal Technique", no one else could raise such excellent warhorses.

"What does this ’Horse Appraisal Technique’ have to do with this giant toad?" The overlord glared at his trusted guard with incredulous eyes, pointing to the three-legged giant toad on the ground, "Don’t tell me, this giant toad is a good horse!"

The unusual argument attracted a large crowd of their allies for a spectacle. Everyone was eyeing the three-legged golden toad. The cleanup of the battlefield was already complete, and everyone had packed quietly, ready to leave at any time. Seeing there was a show to watch, they all flocked over.

"It’s not only a good horse, but also the most excellent ’Thousand-Mile Horse’!" Nedved’s face turned red, and he stubbornly said to Liu Zhenhan, "Today, I’ll make an exception and tell you and my brothers the top-level ’secret training language’ from our Clan’s ’Horse Appraisal Technique’...’Long, Loss, Wide, Sun, Shave, You, Bud, Just.’ This is the golden secret language used to tame a real Thousand-Mile Horse!"

The three-legged golden toad croaked happily upon hearing this, its bulging eyes shining brightly, seeming to be extremely delighted.

When all the Hippo poets heard this sentence, their usually jovial faces instantly turned solemn, showing due respect.

"Long, Loss, Wide, Sun, Shave, You, Bud, Just?" Liu Zhenhan awkwardly repeated this string of dialect and immediately shouted, "Obischillaci! Don’t tell me about your house dialect! I don’t understand what it means!"

{PS: "Long, Loss, Wide, Sun, Shave, You, Bud, Just" is a comment about the physical characteristics of a Thousand-Mile Horse in the ’Horse Appraisal Classic.’ Bo Le’s foolish son took his father’s quotation literally and went out to find a Thousand-Mile Horse, but he brought back a toad, which coincidentally had the physical characteristics of a Thousand-Mile Horse as described by his father Bo Le...This is the origin of the term "Diagram Horse".}

"I’ll translate it for you. This sentence is a unique dialect of our House clan. When broken down, it means this: a Thousand-Mile Horse’s main characteristics are a forehead as high as Mount Tamerlarya, bulging eyes like a full moon, and hooves clumped together like chunks of spirits." Hippo poet O’Neal gesticulated, the expression on his face solemn and respectful, as if reciting a song to praise the war god.

"A high forehead, protruding eyes, hooves like spirits?" Liu Zhenhan was laughing so hard that his stomach hurt and tears were flying everywhere.

The shape of the toad and this sentence describing the Thousand-Mile Horse perfectly matched. Ordinary toads could not be ridden, but this rhino-sized three-legged golden toad absolutely would not be a problem. However, just because the golden toad could be ridden, one cannot simply claim it to be a Thousand Mile Horse, right? Liu Zhenhan could not accept that this toad was a Thousand-Mile Horse. A three-legged toad that can travel a thousand miles? Wasn’t that a wandering toad?
