There are currently four war horses in Xia Village, which are trophies obtained from killing a small group of Yellow Turban soldiers.

When Chu Tian was in high spirits and wanted to ride to Langya City to buy supplies, the reality was cruel.

Chu Tian, ​​who was not good at equestrian skills, fell heavily from his horse.

The surrounding heroes looked around, pretending not to notice the poor performance of their lord.

"Uncle, I can't ride a horse without any skills!"

Chu Tian was a little crazy. His skill bar was empty and he had no riding skills.

This is equivalent to a Rolls-Royce... No, an ordinary warhorse is equivalent to a Wuling Hongguang. There is a Wuling Hongguang in front of you, but you don't have a driver's license.

Do we need to walk to Langya City? If so, the journey will become slower.

Hua Mulan saw that Chu Tian was suffering from his lack of riding skills, so she said: "My lord, there is no need to worry."

"What good idea do you have..."

"Ding! The king-level special hero Hua Mulan is teaching you the 'special riding skills'. Do you want to accept it?"

"accept."

Chu Tian couldn't help but be surprised. It turns out that special heroes can also teach players skills?

But there should be strict restrictions.

No matter what, since there is "special riding skill", if you don't learn it, it will be useless.

Hua Mulan spent half a day teaching riding skills step by step.

"Ding! Player, you have learned the 'Special Riding Skill' and your current level is level 1."

Chutian checked the first skill he obtained.

[Name]: Special riding skill (level 1)

【Proficiency】:0/100

[Effect]: You can ride horses below diamond level; when fighting on horseback, your attack power will be greatly increased. The higher the level, the greater the improvement.

The magic of cavalry!

Chu Tian couldn't believe it. This skill was not an offensive or defensive skill, but a general skill, but its effect was comparable to a divine skill.

"Ding! The friendship between hero Hua Mulan and you has deepened, her loyalty has increased to 88 points, and her favorability has increased to 52 points."

The system prompts made Chu Tian a little dazed. He didn't expect that learning skills from military commanders could also improve the friendship between the two parties.

This is a hidden system similar to "bonds".

After learning how to ride, Chu Tian was finally able to ride a war horse and leave Xia Village. There were four war horses in Xia Village, so he took Hua Mulan and two country heroes with him to Langya City. Hua Mulan and two country heroes served as guards.

, Chutian doesn’t have to worry about being attacked by bandits or wild beasts midway.

Langya City is sixty kilometers away from Xiacun. There are war horses to travel with, so the speed is not slow.

Five kilometers north of Xia Village, Chutian and his party saw a village. This should be the village of other players.

Chutian discovered this village between Xia Village and Langya City when he went hunting with the hunters in Xia Village.

When the villagers saw the arrival of four strangers on war horses, they immediately became confused. A group of villagers holding sickles, hoes, and spears came to the village gate to be wary of Chu Tian and his party.

An ordinary war horse is worth 20,000 yuan, and ordinary people cannot afford it. At the same time, four war horses appear, most of which are strong men.

"Don't get me wrong, I am the village chief of Xia Village five kilometers south. Where is your village chief?"

Chu Tian held the reins and shouted to the neighboring village.

"Summer Village? It turns out there is a summer village south of us."

"Mr. Village Chief, the village chief of the neighboring village wants to see you."

The villagers in this village went to report to their village chief noisily.

Soon a village chief, supported by the villagers, came behind the wooden fence. He looked at Chutian warily across the fence, obviously not fully believing what Chutian said.

The head of the neighboring village turned out to be a female gamer.

Although the players and NPCs looked almost exactly the same, Chutian could easily tell which ones were the players based on their behavior.

The female player wore a thin sword at her waist: "Who are you? Why did you come to visit our little village?"

"Chu Tian, ​​the head of Xia Village, Xia Village is only five kilometers away from your Xiaozhu Village. Maybe establishing diplomatic relations between our two villages can promote trade and thus increase prosperity."

After Chutian upgrades Xia Village to a second-level village, he needs to consider upgrading to a third-level village.

The prosperity requirement for a third-level village is 200 points, and the prosperity benefits brought by Mulan are no longer enough.

Establishing diplomatic relations with other villages means the circulation of goods. Xia Village's specialty [rough celadon] can be sold to neighboring villages, which increases economic prosperity and income.

"Trade is not a zero-sum game, but a mutual benefit and win-win situation. You should know that, right?"

Chutian tried to persuade the village chief of Xiaozhu Village. If the other party is a player, he should understand this truth.

"Of course I know, but how can I trust you? You have war horses and you might attack our village."

"These war horses are the trophies we captured from the Yellow Turban Soldiers. If you are worried about letting us enter the village, you can send people to Xia Village to form an alliance. I remember that if we form an alliance, we in Xia Village cannot easily attack Xiaozhu Village. That way you can

You should feel relieved, right?"

The female player bit her lip, and then Chutian received a system prompt.

"The mayor of Xiaozhu Village, Xia Liang, has sent you a friend invitation. Do you accept it?"

"accept."

"Xiaozhu Village has issued a 12-month alliance negotiation to Xia Cun. Do you accept it? Reminder, once the two parties reach an alliance, if one party voluntarily breaks off diplomatic relations during the alliance, the people's support, public security, blessing value, general loyalty, and lord reputation will be affected.

It will drop significantly. And in the first month of establishing an alliance, diplomatic relations cannot be broken off."

"accept."

The village chief of Xiaozhu Village is also a straightforward person and directly proposed an alliance with Xia Cun.

In the early stage, alliances are still necessary in order to deal with rogue bandits, promote village trade, and even jointly build roads.

The alliance can be broken off in the future, but there will be a certain price to pay for breaking off the relationship.

"I just want to farm well?"

Xia Liang, the head of Xiaozhu Village, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Chutian's ID.

No wonder just after visiting Xiaozhu Village, this strange guy proposed trade and alliance. It turned out that he was also a farming party.

The alliance is second only to marriage, and there are certain restrictions on both parties. They cannot break off the relationship in the first month, so during this month, both parties can trust each other unconditionally.

"You can come in."

The wooden fence at the entrance of the village opened, and Chutian visited other players' villages for the first time.

"Our Xiaozhu Village has just been promoted to the second-level village today... Xia Cun can defeat a small group of Yellow Turban soldiers, he should have already reached the second-level village, right?"

Xia Liang looked at the war horses of Chu Tian and his group and couldn't help but envy them. An ordinary war horse was worth 20 taels of silver.

She looked at Hua Mulan again, thinking that she was also a player, so she sent out a friend invitation...

"strangeness."

Xia Liang cannot send out friend invitations.

"She is a hero."

Chu Tian explained.

"The heroes of Summer Village seem a bit... powerful."

Xia Liang looked up and down at Mulan.

She is not Hua Mulan's lord, so she cannot view Hua Mulan's information.

"When you came to our Xiaozhu Village this time, you probably didn't come here specifically for a visit, right?"

"We are going to Langya City to buy a batch of supplies. We happened to pass by here on the way."

"Oh?" There was a hint of shrewdness in Xia Liang's eyes, "It just so happens that Xiaozhu Village also needs a batch of materials to attack the third-level village. There may be rogue bandits on the way to Langya City. I have a silver-level general under my command. If we join forces, we should be able to
