Chapter 255: Not Relying

He wonders whether having the horse registered into the system limits his horse.

Aeryon look again at Aibou speed and it shock him that a horse could reach forty kilometre per hour

It is nearly reaching a racehorse speed.

"Or maybe, the animals in this world is just stronger than the animals in my Earth" he thought to himself

Maybe that is also the reason why the people of this world is stronger. Had a stronger gut, and have a stronger everything

Aeryon did not notice this in the beginning but the longer lives in this world, the more he notices this. The base strength of this world living beings is evidently stronger than the world he lives in.

Maybe, it has something to do with the air they breathe or the water they drink, or the food they eat, whatever the reason was, the people of this world is stronger than the people of his world

But maybe to counteract that, the animal are also fiercer, the disaster is also even more terrifying.

"I never felt that when I was riding him. At least he did not feel that fast to me"

Aeryon did not deny that his horse is fast. However, there is faster horses than his horse in the tribe.

He would know if he is travelling forty kilometres per hour

He was pondering then and then something clicked in Aeryon mind

"That is his maximum speed"

It means that Aibou could reach that speed. But the horse would not always be running with the speed of forty kilometres per hours like a car that could maintain always the same speed as long as you wanted it.

Maybe, only when he is in danger or when the horse itself is in danger, in such a desperate moment, only then it could burst with this kind of speed?

This is just his conjecture but he thinks he nails it in the head.

"Could the system also surpass the limit of this horse?" the moment Aeryon think of this he could not stop thinking in that direction.

If his horse has a level, then it might be able to be enhanced.

What if his horse could reach the maximum speed of hundred kilometres per hour.

No one would be able match his speed if he has such a horse.

He could go and attack someone in the middle of the battlefield, and then relying on the speed of his horse, he could return back to the rear

Combined that with his strength, he could take the heads of enemy general and then return back unscathed.

This world is still very reliant in generals and once the head of a general is cut of, the people under him would scatter.

It is still very much like this whether in Yan, Yindu, Roma and Western Zhou. Then he could easily win a war if this could be achieved.

" A fast horse in this era is like having a fast-moving tank" he mutters.

Aeryon also saw the lifespan tab.

Could the lifespan be added? He thought to himself.

It is not surprising that the lifespan of his horse would not be long.

Because most of them are like wild horses.

Aibou is a bit better because he is cared about by Aeryon and his other caretakers.

But this is also a warhorse and follows Aeryon to battle.

It would not be surprising that it would also affect its lifespan.

Aeryon also knows this is just the estimated lifespan.

If he exert pressure to the horse, or if the horse is attacked that lifespan numbers would change.

Aeryon come close to his horse, smiles a bit and caress the head of his horse.

"Bond level is two, huh?"

"What is bond level and how to increase it?" he thought and ask this question to the system

The system like always would not answer that question.

At least not in words.

This time, when he ask and directed his question to the system, the system send the information directly to his mind

And Aeryon immediately understood it. He shakes his head a bit like shaking off the feeling of having his mind suddenly overloaded with all kinds of information

The system "told" him that the Bond Level represents the strength and depth of the emotional and spiritual connection between the rider and their horse.

A higher Bond Level not only enhances the synergy between the two but also unlocks additional benefits, such as improved communication, shared instincts, and increased trust.

And the system also "told" him that there are a few factors that influence the bond level

Time together is one of the factors.

Spending time with the horse, engaging in activities like grooming, training, and exploration, helps strengthen the bond.

Achieving success together in quests and battles increases the bond as the horse learns to trust the rider in challenging situations.

Regularly feeding and taking care of the horse’s needs, including providing the right equipment and magical enhancements, fosters a sense of well-being and trust.

It is this information that made Aeryon pause for a while.

Magical enhancement. It made Aeryon paused because this is the first time, he truly hear the word magic.

Or to be more accurate, for it to be confirmed

It means magic is still very much alive in this world

" Now, that is something else I need to take into consideration" he thought to himself

Aeryon knows that this world is not like his world. That there is traces of magic in this world

But he never saw magic. He heard stories about it, heard people saying that they witnessed it, heard rumours and colourful stories about magic, but he never see it with his own eyes

So, Aeryon even believe that maybe magic did exist and even though it existed, nowadays, it is so rare to see people using magic. Because that era had ended

There is feta of strength like Belarion holding up a log of wood easily. But there was never any magic display like people throwing fireball form their hands or summoning wind and rain.

Even when he attacks Nurshira and fought many warriors of Yan, the Yan mostly uses martial arts.

Maybe, because ethe city is not exactly an important city in Yan like in the past, the experts is not many in that city.

Other than a few mediocre martial arts, there is nothing worth noting.

However, magic, he had heard it many times in the stories of the storytellers around the campfire. Of course, these memories is not James memories but Aeryon memories.

"Magic, huh?" he thought to himself and shook the thought out of his head for a while.

For a moment, he just thought about magic but then he shakes his head, shaking this thought out of his mind.

Instead, he focuses back on the bond level.

How to increase the bond level and what method should he use. The system also gives him some kind of hint on how to increase the bond level.

The other factor is sharing challenges with each other expression affection

Facing and overcoming challenges together, especially those that test the teamwork between rider and horse, contributes significantly to the Bond Level.

This is what the system uploaded to hi,

As for expression emotion, as long as he keep expressing positive emotions towards the horse, such as praising, patting, or speaking to it, it fosters a sense of companionship.

And so Aeryon quickly devise a strategy in his mind to quickly increase ethe bond level. The system mentioned to him that increasing the bond level has many benefits.

He made a plant to interact frequently with his horse and probably uses this horse as much as possible.

Aeryon nodded to himself. And he notices something else. Even though this is a quest, it also would help him hone his other passive skill

"Archery and Horsemanship could be trained together" he thought to himself.

Out of all the passive skill he has these two is also on the verge of breaking through. And now with this quest, he is quite sure by the end of it, he would increase both the rank for Archery and Horsemanship

"As for the Spirit of the Great Steppe....." he paused for a moment and then nodded to himself

"Maybe, the Ashana would know something" he thought to himself. Then he sighed

"it is a pity that this promotion class would not give me any resources card" he mutters to himself. There is no mention of it in the reward section of the quest.

Judging from that, there might not be such reward. He could only sigh at this.

Though he would not stop hoping.

Aeryon look at his class and his skills again. Now, he could not take any other quest since he started with the promotion quest.

"I don’t think it is a loss" he thought to himself. He has limited time. It is not possible for him to always only focus on the system.

He had already chosen his path. That is trying to be independent of this system. This did not mean he would not use the system.

That would be stupid

When you have the advantage of course you would use that advantage to your interest.

But, this system is something that Aeryon did not understand.

And something you don’t understand, is always dangerous.
