BXBX NOVEL Chapter 274
Translator: Tseirp
That is Centaur no matter how I look at it? I can’t imagine it to be anybody, no, any other donkey … I’m pretty sure its Centaur .
There was the two-man saddle on its back and Centaur probably ate as it walked as the path I imagine it came from was pretty much devoid of grass and leaves . I can’t imagine there being any other donkey like this .
“Or perhaps all Slow Donkeys are gluttons?”
I took out from my item bag a tomato I harvested from My World .
It immediately sprinted toward me the moment the tomato came out .
“Woah . ”
I threw the tomato due to shock from the sudden speed . Showing off leaping abilities unlike a donkey, Centaur jumped and caught the tomato in mid-air . I was astonished by its physical ability unexpected of a donkey but I recalled that it mowed down monsters in Ferruit so this donkey was just that way .
“Hey, what happened to Jofre and Elize?”
I knew it wouldn’t reply but as expected, it didn’t respond at all either .
Was it lost?
For now, I should bring it to My World … no, I shouldn’t .
I could easily imagine the farms becoming a wasteland in an instant . If that happened, I don’t know what Pionia would say .
That said, leaving it here … wouldn’t be that bad either .
This guy would probably survive in the wild just fine .
I thought to myself but looking at the path this guy took, I sighed .
I felt that if I left this guy to its own devices, the sparse forest would turn into a wasteland too .
I don’t believe Jofre and Elize (those two idiots) would die after getting caught in the fire so they were probably doing something stupid somewhere else .
Also, I might be able to get information on Miri if I find the two of them .
But I probably can’t look for livestock such as cows with this donkey in tow .
“Goblins, thank you for showing the way . You can go back now . ”
After I said that, the goblins lowered their heads and returned from the path they came from .
I returned the Goblin Sword into my item bag and sighed .
Then, I checked the surroundings with Hawk Eye .
It looked like Centaur came from the mountain where the Dwarves live .
I’ll just have to bring him along .
“Centaur, let’s go together . Let’s find your owners . ”
I said to it but Centaur immediately began eating grass after finishing the tomato .
… Is it even listening to me?
If I attached a tomato to a wooden stick and hang it in front of Centaur ― knowing it, the moment I take out a tomato, it would come attacking and I don’t wish to ride on it when it is charging after a tomato .
Centaur’s speed had increased even further from the time I met it in Ferruit . Did it eat even more Rare Medals?
If I’m not wrong, I somewhat recall hearing that lesser monsters have a limit to how strong they can become by eating Rare Medals .
“Are you actually originally an incredible monster? You’ll probably sweep the prizes if you participate in a horse race . ”
Should I give it a rat teacher to train it? No, the protagonist of that manga is not a donkey but a fully-fledged thoroughbred .
Well, a donkey can’t participate in a horse race in the first place .
“Tomato . ”
Centaur reacted to my voice .
Did it understand me? It may be a donkey but it isn’t completely stupid .
“I’ll give you ten tomatoes so let me ride you and walk slowly . ”
After hearing that, Centaur took a step back and stared into my eyes .
There was a saying that the eyes convey as much as words and I could understand what Centaur was implying .
“Twenty . ”
Centaur nodded and sat down in front of me .
It was probably letting me on .
Its gluttony was even greater than the desert runner .
Should I let them have a gluttony match and see who wins?
No, this donkey eats grass while desert runner eats meat so it won’t be a fair competition .
“Well, it’s easier to control compared to Fuyun . ”
That women-lover would never let me ride on it .
Centaur kicked off the ground just as I was in thought .
Centaur started running all of a sudden . Moreover, it ran at a tremendous speed .
“Uoo! Oi, stop!”
I was confident in my own speed . However, this speed was not just at the level of a cheetah, it was that of the fastest cheat . And that was coming from me, a person with the Jobless and Growth Cheats .
And in the blink of an eye, Centaur arrived in front of the Dwarf mountain that I was heading toward .
Centaur abruptly came to a stop and I was tossed over it .
I failed in riding it ― I was amazed Jofreli could ride this runaway horse ― runaway donkey, without any issue (although I didn’t know what was their situation at the moment) .
There was a fence roughly about 1 meter tall in front of the mountain . Centaur could easily jump over it but it seemed that Centaur was telling me to hand over the tomatoes since it had already carried me out of the forest .
It’s terrifying how I could converse with Centaur through tacit understanding like this … I thought to myself as I passed 20 tomatoes to Centaur .
I threw the first tomato a distance away before placing the remaining 19 down during the time it took to eat the first one . I would never make the mistake of feeding it by hand .
“E-em, is that donkey yours?”
A soldier dressed in Shiraraki Kingdom armor asked .
He was probably patrolling the border .
“Erm, it’s an acquaintance’s donkey … Well, you can take it that I am taking care of it now?”
The moment I said that the man blew into a whistle made of bamboo .
Hearing the whistle, soldier riding on horses rushed over .
“Please submit obediently ― you are under arrest for treason . ”
… . . Ha?
