The realm where He Xiaoman is now is called Newward State.

On this vast land of about five million square kilometers, dozens of primitive tribes originally lived scatteredly. They could only master the simplest fishing and hunting, primary planting and processing and other different skills, and lived a hard but comfortable life.

in their respective territories.

Occasionally there will be wars between tribes for various reasons.

However, with the rapid advancement of navigation technology and industry in a distant developed country, they need more resource land, more production materials and productivity.

As a result, this lost land was quickly discovered by those forces eager to expand outward.

No country or plutocratic power can swallow this piece of fat alone.

They decided to unite and occupy the land named Newward State.

The cold weapons of primitive tribes vs the hot weapons of modern society, it is natural to know who will win and who will lose.

At first, the merchants who came to buy and exchange supplies tore off their warm veils and revealed their original ferocious faces. At this time, it was too late for the simple and sturdy tribe to resist.

They are reduced to being second-class people in the eyes of outsiders.

Not even human.

At this time, the major forces that rushed over like hungry wolves also began to worry about how to divide the territory.

They did not completely occupy this fertile land. They were already lacking in troops. Naturally, they were reluctant to lose troops and generals just to share the meat. They also had to devote their limited troops to occupying more territories, and how to distribute the occupied areas had not yet been determined.

It's imminent.

The last wonderful equestrian competition solved their troubles.

Equestrian was the most popular sport in the upper class at that time. The division of territory was solved through equestrian competition, which not only did not damage the respective military strength, but also sounded very elegant, and it would not be lost on people if it was spread.

There is no gunpowder smoke, it is very elegant, and all nobles, gentlemen, ladies and ladies can visit the competition process. This move immediately became popular throughout the Newward state and became an exquisite fig leaf for carving up land resources and capturing prisoners.

They are just competing and getting normal rewards through competition. Aggression does not exist. We are all gentlemen, elegant and graceful gentlemen. How could they do something so inferior to a beast?

Later, an alliance country was born on this land. In order to celebrate this grand event that turned war into friendship, the Chinese people designated the day when the first competition took place as Remembrance Day. That day later became the Remembrance Day celebrated by the whole country.

The land could be divided up civilized, gentlemanly, and without consuming troops, so the horseman industry came into being.

Of course, it is not the current riders who wear yellow and blue jerseys and give you delicious food in the wind and rain, but an emerging profession that uses equestrian competitions to legally own land for the forces they represent.

The competition is divided into two types, one is skill rhythm and the other is obstacle speed, which is quite similar to modern equestrian.

It's just that the actual competition process in the middle is comparable to that of a neighboring country where we have practiced the winning technique of "pulling and pulling". In order to win, everyone uses their own skills.

Riders are naturally full of many kinds of conspiracies and intrigues under their glamorous appearance, and they naturally have to face the danger of losing their lives at any time.

Those aristocratic gentlemen will definitely not go out in person just to seize territory. Most of the people who become riders are speculators who have an unsatisfactory life in their own country or are desperate and happen to have a certain level of equestrian skills.

This is the best shortcut for them to change their current lives and join the upper class society.

Jerome is a very famous one.

His father was a bankrupt leather merchant, and his family was barely considered a middle-class family. After the liquidation, Jerome was left with nothing and no place to stand. Fortunately, he had a pretty good eloquence and worked in a small business.

Work as a salesman in a textile factory.

With his sharp tongue, Jerome traveled around and accumulated some contacts, and also saved some savings.

Unfortunately, as he has been working as a salesman for a long time, he has not lost the bad habits of people in this industry nowadays.

Beauty, wine and gambling are the three ways he rewards himself on a daily basis.

Each one is expensive.

From being frugal to extravagant, Jerome quickly went from having few assets to being penniless and then to being heavily in debt, all of which he did with his strength.

On the one hand, his credibility has dropped and there is no money to be made. On the other hand, his creditors are constantly pressing for debts that are getting worse every time. Jerome simply greases the soles of his feet and brings his more valuable clothing and the twenty-two pieces he obtained through repeated deceptions.

The gold coins escaped and followed the wave of colonization to the land collectively known as Newward State.

Although Jerome is now penniless and in debt, he has worked as a salesman for several years, traveled extensively and dealt with some big businessmen and brokers. Soon, he was attracted by his bright and decent dress and good conversation.

He is judged to be a decent person from the upper class.

It's a pity that all the large farmers here are armed. They don't need so-called salesmen. The twenty-two gold coins that Jerome tried his best to deceive and abduct could be enough for ordinary people.

I have lived a good life for more than ten years by cutting back on food, but it is not enough to own a piece of land.

At most, it would only be enough for him to buy a nice house in a relatively stable city.

But then he became penniless again.

Do you want to guard a house in vain?

Finally, Jerome gritted his teeth and bought a small manor for fifteen gold coins.

There are more than ten acres of land in front of and behind the house. The main part is a two-story Dutch-style building with small doors, large windows, and a steeple. There are two independent bungalows next to it for storing sundries and housing servants.

Because of the turmoil in the current situation, between the development of this primitive capitalist society and the backwardness of primitive society and tribes, it is not only the ownership of land that is confused, but also currency.

War will always bring pain to the people.

So prices in Newward vary as much as in the world.

Another reason Jerome made up his mind to buy this house was that not only could the small manor be barely self-sufficient, but it also came with three life-long slaves and two old horses.

In such turbulent years, life-long slaves did not even need to be paid extra, as long as they were provided with food and accommodation.

Of course, as the outside world erodes this vast primitive plain, such slaves are becoming fewer and fewer, and are almost abolished.

And He Xiaoman's host this time is one of the three lifelong slaves.

She sadly discovered that at first she was worried about being a horse, but now her status was so humble that she was even worse than a donkey.

No wonder Bubu said that the rewards for this mission are high and the difficulty is really high.

The first point is that Larel is mute due to acquired causes.

Secondly, the target of this mission is a horse.
