Barren Lands — Sky City —
"Come on, come on, number five!"
"Number four, charge for me!"
"Run faster, number six, if you freaking lose, I'm rewarding you with a big fireball!"
In the stands of the Sky City racetrack, countless spectators shouted crazily at the centaurs sprinting at top speed below, wildly waving their betting slips.
Morgan Lisha was among them, shouting loudly at the number six horse she had bet on. If it weren't for the anti-magic barrier installed around the racecourse, she probably couldn't resist casting a haste spell on number six, or giving it a 'slick-footed' boost.
Not until the centaur Gale Knight, wearing the number six jersey, rushed past the finish line like the wind, did Morgan Lisha finally burst into cheers.
"Oh yeah, oh yeah! Now I've made a fortune, with eight to one odds, haha, ten thousand gold coins turned into eighty thousand, I'm in love with Sky City."
