When everything was settled, Nima also rode Mithra and leaned over.

"Pegas?"

Nima complained with a funny look: "Pegas is a sport horse in Greek mythology. It seems that the people have always thought of as a winged pegasus with snow-white fur, right? You..."

Xin Sheng smiled dismissively: "It's just a myth. No one has ever seen that Tianma. Maybe it's black?"

Peggasus, also known as Pagasus, is a mount of the muse in ancient Greek mythology.

According to legend, when the great hero Perseus cut off Medusa's head, Pegasus spread his wings out of its blood.

However, the legend is just a legend after all, and the ancient Greek folks also have their own opinions on the color of Pegas.

In the Odyssey worldview, Perseus did kill Medusa, but did not completely destroy the source of the transformation of Medusa.

Like Sphinx, Medusa is also one of the experimental products of the Ishuren Olympus Project.

After killing Medusa, Perseus failed to notice its core. The artifact of Eden hidden in the snake's hair was left in place, waiting for the next unlucky host to arrive.

Once a woman with a bloodline in Yishu approaches the artifact, Medusa's core will be reactivated and boarded on her, forcibly transforming this person into a new generation of Medusa.

Barnabas has been verifying mythical creatures and legends from all over Greece over the years. He has found the origin of the legends of the four major mythical creatures.

The place where Medusa was killed by Perseus is located in the Petrochemical Valley of Lesbos Island. Sooner or later, Xin Sheng will go to this island to obtain the artifact of Eden hidden in Medusa's snake hair.

‘As it true?’

The timely appearance of the system proves Xin Sheng’s conjecture.

The animals tamed by him will also be digitized and summarized into the animal partner panel of the system interface.

Things that can be digitized can be brought out of the current world. In the future, Xin Sheng can save each world from the trouble of finding a mount.

The tamed dark horse Pegas is very gentle in front of Xin Sheng, but after all, it was once the king of wild horses and still shows off its bad temper from time to time in front of outsiders.

Nima's mount Mitra is all white and looks very beautiful, but in fact Mitra is also a male horse.

Accustomed to being arrogant in his own horses, Pegas and Mitra always want to stretch their mouths to bite each other when they move forward.

"Hey, be honest."

Xin Sheng gently patted Pegas's horse's head. The dark horse with great intelligence immediately understood the master's meaning and retracted his hostility to Mithra with displeasure.

The newly tamed Pegas is not as obedient as the rhubarb and Daedalus obtained directly from the system, but at least it will not resist his master at will.

With horse transportation, the next trip can further increase the speed.

In ancient Greece, horses had only equipment for reins and saddles, not even stirrups, let alone horseshoes.

When he came to a small village on the border of Maris with Nima, Xin Sheng found a local cobbler and blacksmith and customized a set of equipment for Pegas.

The job of a cobbler is relatively simple. As a hunter, Xin Sheng does not lack high-quality leather, so the cobbler only needs to make it into molding.

After hunting Zoisme's white bear, Xin Sheng peeled off its rare white fur and saved it himself after tanning it, just making a warm saddle for Pegas.

"Brother, are you sure you really want to wear shoes on horses?"

Standing in front of the tall and mighty dark horse, the dark-skinned blacksmith was very hesitant. He had never taken on such a strange job before.

"I'm sure, just take action, I promise Pegas won't attack you."

The horse's hooves have a hard cuticle layer of 2-3 cm thick, and they use these cuticle layers to touch the ground when they run.

Long-term contact between the horse's hooves and the ground will inevitably cause wear. Once the cuticle is flattened, the horse can no longer run freely.

Horseshoes can effectively protect the cuticle of horseshoes and extend their exercise lifespan, just like putting shoes on horses.

The use of horseshoe can be traced back to around the 1st century BC. It is said that it was an invention of the ancient Romans, and it was still two or three hundred years before ancient Greece during the Peloponnese War.

The blacksmith built a curved horseshoe completely according to Xin Sheng's idea. Under Xin Sheng's comfort, the blacksmith was frightened to nail the four horseshoes into the cuticle of the soles of Pegasus's feet.

"puff!"

Just as he put on his new shoes, Pegas seemed a little uncomfortable and walked back and forth a few times in front of the blacksmith shop.

"Don't worry, there's this one."

Xin Sheng also installed the stirrups made by the blacksmith on both sides of the white bear's saddle, and easily turned over when stepping on the stirrups.

Nima's effect on horseshoes is not up to date, but the auxiliary effect of stirrups is very intuitive. Nima, whose eyes are lit, immediately asked the blacksmith to create a pair of Mitras.

With stirrups, riders can use their legs to manipulate horses more flexibly, reducing the need for the strength of riders' legs, and at the same time freeing up their hands, allowing riders to wield weapons more stably when charging.

Nima, who obtained the new toy, steered Mitra in stirrups and charged at full speed, trying to swing his sword on the horse's back.

After some practical tests, Nima highly praised Xin Sheng's innovative "invention".

"If the troops of various countries were allowed to learn about this gadget, they would definitely rush to pretend for their war horses."

"This seemingly inconspicuous invention is an absolute weapon of war."

The history of Chinese stirrups can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty in the 2nd century BC, while in Europe it was much later, and it was not until the medieval period of the 4th century AD that it began to be widely put into practice.

Xin Sheng shrugged disregardably: "No matter how many of him, the direction of war cannot be determined so simply. I just want to make myself feel more comfortable when riding a horse."

It's okay if there are no stirrups moving forward at a constant speed, but the impact is not very big.

But once you enter the sprint state, the horse's back will become very bumpy. The rider needs to clamp the horse's belly with both legs at any time, otherwise he will face a mess.

To match Pegas, Xin Sheng asked the cobbler to help Dahuang make a set of leather dog vests to enhance its defense.

The vest I obtained in Legend World has long been so damaged that it cannot be used. I just took this opportunity to update my equipment.

After leaving the town, Xin Sheng stepped on stirrups with both legs, fixed rhubarb on the saddle in front of him with his left hand, controlled the reins with his right hand, and entered the full-speed forward mode along the road with Nima.

The difference between the two horses was shown when they were running at high speed.

Although Mitra is also the best selected by Darius from the Mustang, there is still a certain gap compared with King Pegas.

While running at full speed, Mitra was thrown away by Pegas little by little.

Xin Sheng had to let Pegas release the water and cooperate with Mithra's speed to move forward.

The areas of Maris and Macedonia have very vast plains, but these high-quality lands suitable for growing food lack sufficient population to reclaim.

‘No wonder Macedonia will rise strongly in the future, and the superior natural conditions give them enough war potential.’

‘During the Peloponnese War, many people fled to remote areas to avoid war, and these refugee people will become the cornerstone of Macedonia’s future rise.’

Xin Sheng sighed with emotion, "A drink and peck will make you determined."

“We’re here.”

Mitra, who was leading the way in front, slowed down, and Xin Sheng also pulled the reins to signal Pegas to slow down.
