The Garrison of Warcraft - Chapter 41
Chapter 41: First Mount
However, Brady was wrong.
The white horse turned and galloped away at the fastest speed that it had ever achieved, but the domesticated boar’s speed was way faster than Brady had imagined.
When the boar ran like mad, her feet that stomped hard caused soil and dust to fill the air behind her, and the earth was shaking. She caught up to the white horse in a flash, then lowered her head before goring the horse’s butt.
Boom!
Could you imagine a boar that weighed at least 400 kilograms crashing swiftly into the butt of a white horse that was at most 150 kilograms?
It was not the prettiest scene.
The white horse whined before collapsing to the ground. It did not even get its chance to sing ‘Conquer’ (TN: A Chinese song by Na Ying, a female singer from China), and its short life as a horse, that had lasted for only a few years, ended just like that. Moreover, it had not managed to find a girlfriend before it died, which was very depressing.
This time, Brady was not able to grab the reins in time. Before he could react, his thin body flew off the white horse, and he landed head first. Due to the close contact with the ground, Brady’s neck twisted, and he breathed his last.
Two lives were gone with one hit!
Sean was dumbfounded.
Rick was dumbfounded.
The white horse that was Rick rode shivered.
The domesticated boar lifted her head proudly.
It was at that moment that the Arcane Missiles cast by Sean struck the boar.
Yes. It was such intimate contact that they hit her face, her face, her face…
Sean widened his mouth, and had a feeling that things were going to be terrible.
The domesticated boar had never expected missiles would hit her face during the proudest moment of her life.
Although the Brass Collar on her neck glowed, releasing an invisible Mana Shield that blocked the Arcane Missiles, the domesticated boar was furious.
‘How dare someone hit my face?
‘In the Domesticated Boar Contest in Elwynn Forest, I was the champion of the beauty contest, fighting, running, push-ups… I was the champion in everything, and the sole winner for each award!
‘Can’t you see that the Brass Collar on my neck is a reward for being in the first place?’
The top domesticated boar in the whole of Elwynn Forest, the mighty Princess, was enraged.
She lowered her proud head, then thrust her feet against the ground. She was ready to teach the fellow who infuriated her an unforgettable lesson.
Upon seeing Princess thrusting her feet against the ground, Sean knew that it was bad.
After using Appraisal Sight on the domesticated boar, Sean realized that it was going to be worse.
“Isn’t that just a domesticated boar? Why is her Combat Level as high as Level 8!”
Yes. The domesticated boar had a Combat Level of 8. If she was compared with a Warrior, she would be at least a Mid Rank Warrior with a Class Level of 6.
How could there be such a terrifying domesticated boar!
Some information then surfaced from Sean’s memories.
“Oh god, this boar, this boar, could she be the most famous boar in Elwynn Forest, the legendary Princess?”
Princess was just her name, it was her heroic bearing that truly left a deep impression on every human player.
Back then, she and her two little brothers were very tough to mess with, very fascinating, very sexy…
Okay, they were actually very fearsome.
Sean knew very well that if he challenged Princess in his current state, losing was going to be the only outcome.
“I’m screwed.”
Sean wanted to cry, but had no tears.
When he turned to look, he realized that Rick had run away, away, away…
“Shameless Rick, when I see you later, I’m definitely not going to forgive you!” Sean gritted his teeth angrily.
‘Am I going to face the domesticated boar alone?
‘Is my transmigrated life going to be ruined by the boar’s feet?’
All of a sudden, Sean recalled an item.
A good item.
A good item that he acquired from the lucky draw upon completing Murloc Shallow.
Sean thought that he would not be using the item any time soon. He never thought he would use it at this moment, on a domesticated boar.
“Spectral Reins, Blue Quality, Rare Equipment. It can be used on any creature that was no more than Combat Level 10, taming it as a mount. As a result of the spectral attachment, the mount’s abilities would see varying degrees of improvement..”
Sean got into position after retrieving the Spectral Reins.
Once the domesticated boar was in his face, he made a nice dodge, then threw the Spectral Reins around the boar’s neck.
This was definitely the best move that the young Mage had done in his whole life.
The Spectral Reins were worthy of being a product from the Spatial Garrison, and were definitely of fine quality.
After the reins were looped around the boar’s neck, she stopped very quickly. She turned around and struggled for a while, but soon became extremely calm.
Next, she walked toward Sean elegantly, then bent her front legs slightly to motion a standard pig’s salute.
From then on, the domesticated boar named Princess became Sean’s first mount.
Among the many striking titles that Sean would attain in the future, the most striking one, and the first of them all, was finally born.
[Boar Rider Mage, Sean Feathermoon!]
The Spectral Reins’ effect was so immediate that the domesticated boar was subdued in no time. Due to the spectral attachment, the boar’s abilities underwent a considerable change.
[Name: Princess]
[Race: Domesticated boar]
[Stats: Strength 22, Agility 25, Endurance 20, Intelligence 2, Spirit 5]
[Class: Mount]
[Equipment: Brass Collar (Green Uncommon Equipment, the first prize of the Domesticated Boar Contest in Elwynn Forest, Spectral Reins (Blue Rare Equipment)]
[Skills: Twiddle cabbages, Kick at the sky, Charge with lowered head, Dash with full Rage, Growl like a lion]
[Move Speed: 80]
[Combat Level: Level 10]
Yes, you saw it right! The addition of Spectral Reins raised the domesticated boar’s Move Speed up to 80, which was much higher than a War Horse’s Move Speed, 60. On top of that, the boar’s Combat Level had jumped to Level 10.
Although Sean felt disappointed with the mount’s Race, appearance, and temper, he was satisfied with her Stats and Skills. At the very least, riding a domesticated boar was more flashy than riding a common War Horse.
Sean got onto the boar, then yelled as he whipped the reins. With that, the domesticated boar thrust against the ground, and ran toward Goldshire at the speed of light.
“Charge! Catch Rick the traitor who escaped! Gore his butt! Kick his face! Teach him a good lesson!”
When the Boar Rider Mage arrived in Goldshire, he instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Many people ridiculed the domineering Princess, as well as the soft Sean.
“Hey! Isn’t that the orphan who came with Old Saldean? He’s actually riding a domesticated boar? Oh my god, how heavy is that boar? It weighs at least 270 kilograms, doesn’t it?”
“Nonsense! It’s at least 360 kilograms! This is the biggest boar I’ve ever seen, and even the boar king that roams in my farm isn’t as heavy!”
“How did Little Sean subdue the domesticated boar? It’s simply unbelievable!”
“Sean the Boar Rider! Mm, this is a good title, it sounds great! From now on, everyone should call him Sean the Boar Rider!”
“Oh right, what’s Sean’s family name? Who knows? I think Sean can come up with his own. He can be Sean Boarrider, what do you think?”
“Great idea, great idea!”
