" I genuinely hate school, it's a prison that my parents pay for and I'm being forced to study again for a second life , tch so annoying " trying to calm my hatred , I started running ( running makes my mind clear for unknown reasons) , after 30 minutes I reached my location" The horse stable "
"Time to buy my horsey " i was super excited because this stable was locked until late game and it had one of my favourite horses
I walked inside the stable and a middle aged man with a full black beard noticed me " young master would you like to buy or rent a spirit horse ?" He asked with a smile but I ignored him and kept searching for it , the middle aged man didn't say anything, he can see i was searching for something with full of excitement, i kept running around the stable but I couldn't find it so asked him " senior where is the dark moon turkoman? "
The middle aged man had a suprised expression then continued " young master that horse belongs to previous emperor as you must have heard about him , he was a horse fanatic , the dark moon turkoman is an almost extinct breed so he wandered many places to get that horse , I am afraid we can't sell you that horse "
I was disappointed but after thinking for a while I had an idea that felt like an epiphany
" Senior if it is in stable then that means the previous emperor ordered you to breed that horse right ?, if so I request you to let me buy atleast one foal"
" Young master .... There is indeed a foal but ... I think it's better if you look at it first , please follow me " the middle aged man respectfully started showing me the way after a few turns we entered a seperated barn , at first there was nothing until we reached a dark corner of the barn and there I saw her , beautiful saphire eyes , shining full black coat and a bright white moon on her forehead but there's a white cloth tied to her back legs so I looked at the stable owner
" Young master as you said the previous emperor ordered us to breed the dark moon turkoman and the result was one male and two female foals but as you can see this one was born crippled , the previous emperor was very sad but he couldn't take her to the royal stable because it's filled with powerful beasts and mounts that will bully a cripple like her , so he paid me enough money to look after her for life , if you are interested and promise to look after her well I can give her to you "
I looked at the foal and touched her forehead with my own , she's still too small to ride , almost the same height as me " I'll buy her senior , please prepare the paper work , I'll take full responsibility"
The stable owner smiled and asked me " how much would you be paying young master ? " , I showed him five fingers and said five hundred spirit coins , he was dumbfounded
" Young master a dark moon turkoman foal at market price is 60,000 spirit coins " as soon as he said that the horse looked at me with a somewhat teary expression
Seeing that both mine and the stable owners heart melted and he said " i understand the sentiments young master , I was paid way more than enough by the previous emperor, please take great care of her "
" No senior please prepare the papers for selling her at 500 spirit coins , that way I will be responsible for her completely " hearing my words he nodded his head , the stable owner took some paper out of his ring and wrote the contract
I signed it and looked at the foal " from now on I'll name you " Chandra Bindhu"in short it will be Bindhu"
The stable owner gave me some carrots and a grooming brush along with the papers and I walked out of the stable with a smile along with Bindhu , I guess it's the first time she's seeing the outside world because I can see her curiosity rising at every turn we took and people kept staring at her in awe of her Beauty , I fed her a few carrots on our way until we reached a gate
Usually this area is locked in the early game but as a speed runner I know a glitch , if I use a petting animation on any animal while moving forward , if I stick to the gate , we'll be on the other side but because this is reality where everything is boring, I just pushed the gate open , for some reason the gamer in me felt guilty for just pushing the gate open , so closed the gate again and this time I kicked the gate open
We both walked into the forest nearby , my plan was a completely different dungeon on the other side of the city but now I need to find the spirit awakening banana for Bindhu , to heal her legs and let her cultivate , this banana actually belongs to a protagonist or protagonists in the story , he's an old man about to die , one day he finds a little girl who lost her way , her country is far away in the east , so the old man resolves himself to send this little girl home. ( Basically you fight using the old man and use the little girl for puzzles because she's inherently good at inscriptions)
The little girl in the story is a cripple so one of the first missions in their story is to find this fruit but I'll have to use it for my dear horsey now , it's fine if we go according to the story, their journey begins in 6 years so either we'll find something else or just buy one , they're not super rare just expensive and I'm already quite broke right now
It's almost noon right now and after walking for a few hours we reached the cave location , I took a deep breath and hitched Bindhu to a tree and gave her a few carrots to eat and started streching myself
" Finally it's time for some speed running"
