A few more days passed.
Reiner picked a good day and took Nora and Martina to the market to choose horses.
Because it was winter, there were almost no pedestrians in the market.
The horse racing market, which is usually bustling, also seems unusually deserted.
Reiner took a look inside and saw that there were only a dozen or so horses left.
The horse dealer hurried forward when he saw his customer. When he saw it was Reiner, he greeted him flatteringly: "Master Reiner, are you here to buy a horse?"
"Well, do you have any recommendations? Try to get something cheaper."
The horse dealer rubbed his hands together, his eyes narrowed into slits. "That depends on what you're going to use it for. Pack horses are cheaper, travel horses are moderately priced, and war horses are the most expensive. And they won't be available until spring."
"How much would three traveling horses cost?"
"The cheapest is about twenty gold coins." The horse dealer picked up the brush and brushed the back of the black horse beside him. "The most important thing is to look at the breed.
For example, this Rossino steppe horse has a strong and sturdy body and thick hair. It can not only be used to pull goods, but also for traveling and even on the battlefield. However, its price is not cheap, and one costs fifteen gold coins.
And that reddish-brown horse, he's our Diast Warmblood. He's fast, has great endurance, a good personality, and all his attributes are well-balanced. He only needs twelve gold coins.
The cheapest is the gray Osyakka stallion in the corner. It's small, with strong limbs, suitable for off-roading, and has a tough and durable physique, making it perfect for beginners. One only costs seven gold coins."
Reiner narrowed his eyes and looked him over carefully: "Why is it so cheap?"
"This horse is widely distributed and can be found almost everywhere in the western part of the continent, so the price is naturally much cheaper. Many people who come to me to buy horses prefer to buy Osyakka stallions. Even some knights who are on a tight budget will choose this horse as a mount."
Reiner touched his chin and then asked, "You won't sell me a sick horse, will you?"
The horse dealer was sweating profusely. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, as merchants, reputation is what matters most to us. If we were to tell lies, our horse business wouldn't last long."
Reiner thought about it and agreed.
Observe the horse for a few days before buying it, and return it if it is not good enough.
After all, his horse has been here since Reiner traveled through time.
The monk can run away, but the temple cannot.
"I want three Osyakkagu stallions. Take them all aside and let us choose."
After the horse dealer took the horses away, Reiner let Nora and Martina choose.
"Come on, you two can pick yourselves. Be careful not to pick a sick horse."
Martina nodded heavily and started choosing first.
She stroked the horse's mane and whispered in Demihuman language, "Good horse, good horse. Let me pick one."
Nora followed closely behind and began to choose carefully.
They were both exactly like Reiner, with no experience in horseback riding.
During this period, the three of them could only explore on their own.
Reiner walked past the horses, and one of them gently nudged his cheek...
"Do you want to go home with me?"
"Huff, huff!" The horse blew hot air at Reiner, then opened its mouth and started chewing his hair.
Suddenly it jumped up again and circled around in the stable like a lunatic.
Kind of interesting...
The horse dealer came over and said seriously, "Master Reiner, this horse is rather naughty. I suggest you change it."
Reiner stroked its head and continued, "It looks quite clever, let's take it."
The horse dealer scratched his head, handed the reins to Reiner with a silly smile, and then began to install the stirrups.
The beast-eared girls have also chosen their horses.
