Hero Town is a small town located on the north side of the Northwest Province of the Glorious Empire on the Eastern Continent, near the northern border of the Empire.

If you actually come to this town, many people may feel that this town does not match the name "hero" very well. Hero Town is not very large, and in terms of size, it is only a little larger than the average village, which can be considered the level of a small town. Moreover, the town is not prosperous, there are no special landscapes or dangerous places around, and there are no strong people such as legendary masters living in seclusion here, such a small place is basically not attractive to the mercenary adventurers among the aborigines or the strange foreign adventurers who have recently appeared on the mainland.

And it is such an inconspicuous town, but it has such an imposing name as "Hero Town", and the reason for this is that it comes from a very old legend.

Legend has it that during the ancient Genesis War, this was originally just an uninhabited wasteland, and the Chaos Demons from the Northern Continent crossed the northeast continent border and continued to flock to the Eastern Continent, and this generation of regions was the only way for those Chaos Demons to invade.

Later, due to the two super-beings in the order camp at that time, the Primordial Elves and the Elemental Ancestors severely damaged the forces of Chaos in the Inland Sea Strait in the west and the desperate desert on the border of the Northeast Continent, respectively, so that Chaos finally stopped their greedy invasion and began to recycle their scattered power to the northern continent.

At that time, the Eastern Continent, as an area that was focused on being attacked by the chaotic forces, was scattered with a large number of chaotic forces, as the leading figures in the Eastern Continent order camp, the first emperor of the Radiant Empire, the Radiant Dragon Knight Wenderk, and his partner Radiant Golden Dragon decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and strive to completely annihilate the defeated chaotic forces in the Eastern Continent.

However, this idea was opposed by many allies such as the Beast Spirit Clan in the Northern Realm and the Elven Clan branch in the Eastern Continent at that time, and even the Terran and Golden Dragon Clans had voices of disapproval. Because the Eastern Continent Alliance has suffered heavy losses due to years of war, everyone who wants to hunt down and retreat the Chaos forces feel that they have more than enough strength but not enough strength.

After a quarrel, Wendeke and the Radiant Golden Dragon still insisted on their opinions, thinking that their allies were weak, they were angry, and led the diehard followers of the Terran and the Golden Dragon Clan to form an iron-blooded commando, and launched a pursuit of the retreating Chaos army, and finally, in the area where Hero Town is located, Wendellk and the Golden Dragon finally caught up with the two super Chaos Lords who were the leaders of the Chaos army at that time, but because the Chaos army around the other party was too large, after a fierce battle, Wenderk and Golden Dragon not only failed to kill the two Super Chaos Lords, but were seriously injured by each other one after another.

Just when this iron-blooded commando team was besieged because they didn't know whether to call it bravery or recklessness, and they could only rely on Wendeke and Golden Dragon to hold their ground with injuries, finally those allies who did not support their pursuit caught up, forced back the Chaos army, and rescued Wendelk and Golden Dragon and the surviving commandos.

It is conceivable that if this pursuit is successful, then it must be a great feat, but unfortunately it failed in the end, and even Wendeke and the Golden Dragon of Radiance fell one after another because of the heavy losses suffered in this battle, so this reckless pursuit has also become a stain that everyone wants to cover up - after all, Wendellke and the Golden Dragon of Radiance are important leaders of the Eastern Continent Order Alliance during the Creation War and are also powerful figures, even if they are really not guaranteed, Their supporters will not allow future generations to use it to discredit them.

So, in order to cover up Wendeck and the Golden Dragon's reckless decision to ignore the advice of their allies and choose to go it alone in this pursuit, the version of this blitzkrieg that has been passed down to later generations has become that some of the militants of the Terrans and the Golden Dragon acted on their own, and Wendeck and the Golden Dragon went to the trap together to save their compatriots. The two most important leaders were plucked out of it, and the black cauldron was taken care of by the loyal followers of the time.

Due to the death of Wendeck and the Golden Dragon, there was no one to prove their innocence to the commandos, so in the years that followed, the surviving commandos and their descendants became persona non grata, and they became the culprits who indirectly caused the fall of King Wendeck and the great Golden Dragon.

None of the commandos stood up to refute this unfair treatment - they seemed to know that this matter would indeed become a stain on Wendeck and the Radiant Golden Dragon, and as diehard loyalists of the two, it was nothing for these team members to bear the black pot for them - but unexpectedly, after the chaos forces finally completely withdrew from the Eastern Continent and retreated back to the Northern Continent, these people moved out of their original places of residence as if they had made an appointment. Then they came to the wasteland where they fought together, and established a town called "Hero Town" and settled here.

These people claim that they live here together because Wendeck and Golden Dragon had left a gift to their descendants when they were seriously injured in a desperate situation. It's just that after a long period of exploration and searching, no one has found a similar so-called "gift" here for hundreds of years, so now, more people think that the choice to settle here and name it "Hero Town" may be just a silent protest against the unfair history of the commandos who were forced to bear the black pot for the two leaders of the order.

After returning to the holy city of Arya Val from the Elven Forest with her doppelganger Coco sister, Rococo finally told Coco sister some things to pay attention to (although because Coco sister is just a Rococo with a different personality, so such advice is not necessary, but Rococo still insisted on doing so under Arya's strange gaze), the two parted ways, Coco sister returned to Nopra County as a player, and Rococo returned to the Radiant Empire from the Holy City through the teleportation array, This is the power country where she was originally born as an NPC village girl.。

Since Rococo is the birthplace of the NPC, Hero Town, is a remote village on the northern border of the empire, and there is no "high-end public facility" such as a teleportation array, so Rococo can only go by horse-drawn carriage with the NPC caravans as it did a few months ago. However, unlike when he first entered the game a few months ago, Rococo now has plenty of money, so he has generously hired a comfortable solo passenger carriage directly in the NPC caravan and set foot comfortably on the way home.

However, what Luo Coco didn't expect was that although she knew that this journey was different from a few months ago, there would definitely be players who traveled with the caravan like her, going to some remote small towns where the teleportation array was not accessible for mission or some other reason, but she didn't expect that among these players who went on the road with her, it could be heard from the dialogue that many of them were going to her hometown, that is, to Hero Town.

Although Hero Town is the birthplace of Rococo as an NPC village girl, at that time a few months ago, in order to be able to arrive in Radiant King City before the transnational teleportation array from the royal city to the holy city was temporarily closed due to the arrival of players, Rococo didn't bother to understand his birthplace at that time, but directly found the NPC Chamber of Commerce in the town as soon as possible, and left Hero Town with their caravan. Therefore, Rococo really doesn't know much about himself, and this name sounds too different from the reality, but it is a bit funny to be born in the village.

So soon, Rococo found player posts related to Hero Town in his previous life forum database, and fully understood his seemingly inconspicuous hometown but didn't expect it to really have a big background.

“…… Hey, I didn't expect that I, as the original birthplace of the village mother's NPC, would have such a special backstory. ”

On the rickety carriage, the village girl NPC mode Rococo sighed while looking at the legend about Hero Town that was called up from the database.

"Is this legend true?"

Asked by Rococo, Arya, the system elf who could only be seen by Rococo's side, spread her hands, and then flew to Rococo's eyes to operate on the system interface instead of her, and called up a game information such as a brief history of the Glorious Empire.

"Well, at least in the official historical records of the Radiant Empire in the game, there is a story about the death of the original emperor Wendeke and the golden dragon of Radiance, which is indeed just like the 'frame' recorded in this rumor, saying that after the comprehensive victory of the order camp against the chaos forces, because a small number of militants did not obey the command and attacked without authorization, they fell into a heavy siege, so Wendeke and the golden dragon came to the rescue and were seriously injured and finally died."

Rococo quickly skimmed through the text that Arya pointed out, and as Arya said, if that's the case, it seems to prove the credibility of the rumors that the so-called truth of Hero Town has been concealed, so that is-

“…… So, is it true that this generation of Hero Town hides the gifts left by the Radiant Dragon Knight Wendeck and the Radiant Golden Dragon when they were under siege? ”

Because he has been a player for a few months, Rococo still knows a lot about the psychology of players, although even in the truth rumors of Hero Town, the matter of "gifts" is only the talk of those commandos who originally migrated, and no one can confirm this, but players will definitely not believe in this evil.

That's the treasure left behind by the Radiant Golden Dragon, one of the emperors and progenitors of the original Radiant Empire, a super prop? Artifact set? Whatever it is, if you can find it, you're in the game!

Many of the players who followed the Rococo caravan towards Hero Town along the way probably wanted to go treasure hunting after knowing this rumor. However, Rococo, who continued to check the information of the forum in his previous life, couldn't help but feel sorry for these people, if nothing else, these people would definitely get nothing...... Because in the forum materials of the previous life, this rumor also began to be known to players around this time, but no one was able to find the so-called "Golden Dragon Knight's Gift" until the later stages of the game.

It's a pit.
