At this moment, Alan is feeling that he is heading towards the most glorious moment of his life. As a member of an aristocratic family, he received an education from an early age that was the envy of countless commoners. Not only did he learn the necessary combat knowledge such as swordsmanship, horsemanship, and commanding troops, but he also learned everything about management, etiquette, geography, and even astronomy. Everything, he could learn, he learned almost once.

Although I have learned a lot of these knowledge, I am not proficient in it. However, only riding and swordsmanship, these skills of fighting with others, are extremely valued by Allen, and in the process of learning these skills, he has poured a lot of effort into it, and has also worked hard. Because, although he was born in an aristocratic family, as the second son, he did not have any inheritance rights.

Whether it is a noble title, a family fief, an estate in the name of the family, etc., he has no right to inherit. These are all the property of the eldest son, and as the second son, he has known these problems since he was sensible. I also know the problems that each second son will face in the future, and the way out in the future.

Alan is very aware of his fate, although he is unwilling, because whether in terms of knowledge or his own martial arts, he is stronger than the eldest son of the family and his own brother. But by the way, he came to this world as the second son. And his brother came to this world as the eldest son, and he didn't need to study hard to inherit everything in the family reasonably and legally. And he, even if he is studying hard, the final result is still that he will be kicked out of the house when he becomes an adult.

Luckily, Allen's father gave him some money, albeit not much, not enough to sustain the luxurious life of the nobility. However, if he saves money, it will be enough for him to use it for several years. In addition, there was a maroon warhorse, a suit of leather armor, a long sword, and a few salutes. He walked out of the house with nothing.

Alan also complained about the gods, why is it so unfair to him, he is obviously so good, hard work. As a result, the gods treated him like this, giving him the status of a second son. And that brother, who is obviously inferior to him in all aspects, is the eldest son, so even if he doesn't do anything, he will inherit everything in the family reasonably and legally in the future. continued to live a noble life, but he could only lead a horse and silently walk out of the house with some few salutes.

For this reason, he resented the gods and hated his origins.

But there is nothing he can do about anything else. Because, this world is like this, and such a set of rules has been continued since ancient times. After so many years, nothing has changed. The eldest son inherits everything in the family, not only in the aristocratic family, but also in commoners, and the eldest son inherits most of the wealth in the family. The second son, on the other hand, could only leave with a small amount of wealth. If he is lucky, he may become the squire knight of a nobleman, like many of the second sons of nobles who have been kicked out of his home, and if he is a nobleman with real power with a fief, he may also get a piece of land after making a contribution. The same becomes, the knight class with fiefdoms.

However, if it is a nobleman who does not have a fief, then life will be a little harder. After all, no matter how great the wealth is, it is always better than a down-to-earth territory.

Allen, on the other hand, did not choose to become a noble squire knight, nor did he think about which nobleman to serve in the past. He chose to join a mercenary group and become a mercenary.

And the reputation of mercenaries is sometimes not so popular among the people. Mercenaries are a group of people who dare to do anything for money. And some mercenary gangs with a bad reputation, after accepting the employment of the employer, will often do some angry things in the process of employment. And the chain reaction of these is to completely ruin the reputation of the mercenaries. Although, not all mercenary groups are like this, but after all, there are only a few mercenary groups that can stick to the bottom line.

And the mercenary group that Allen joined, although its reputation is not very good, it is not bad. As a knowledgeable (but not proficient) and well-informed (hometown only) born into an aristocratic family, Alan felt that the martial arts he had worked hard since he was a child had not experienced actual combat, and it would be difficult for him to continue to improve in the future. Therefore, he wants to become a member of the mercenary team by joining the mercenary team, experience the battle on the battlefield, and exercise his martial arts. Although he can also join the army for training, his country has not been at war for decades. God knows, how long will it take to go to war? Joining a mercenary group is different, mercenaries accept tasks from different places, different countries, and can go to various places.

Whether it's a mission as small as clearing out bandits, helping a lord fight another, or joining one nation to fight another...... The colorful life of a mercenary made Alan firmly believe. As long as you can train in the mercenary group for a period of time, you will undergo drastic changes. Most importantly, Eren wants to change himself into a better set of equipment, and is ready to pass a large-scale war to make a mark and become a field nobleman again.

That's his dream, to become a field nobleman again, instead of continuing his damn wanderings as a damn mercenary. Alan hated this kind of life and discussed his fate.

Allen, who has been in the mercenary group for seven or eight years, has experienced countless battles during this period, and his actual combat experience can be said to be abundant. But at the same time, Allen, who was still young and didn't understand anything at the time, has also been changed a lot because of the seven or eight years of trials. At least, now that he has experienced more and understood more. I understand more that it is not so simple for me to become a field nobleman.

And Allen, who is tired of all this, doesn't want to continue to stay in the mercenary group and continue like this. Although he has accumulated some money over the years, he definitely can't talk about how much, because every time he receives a task, he fights with others. Everyone has a breath in their hearts, and the best way to vent this anger is to indulge or get drunk. Only in this way can the tension, fatigue and anxiety in my heart be vented.

The same goes for Alan, who, like all mercenaries, vents in this way. Almost half of the money earned each time was spent on prostitutes and rum. The money earned over the years is only to prepare a set of equipment for myself, and the rest of the money is only enough to buy some barren land in the countryside, become a farmer, and then marry a woman, give birth to his own offspring, and then his offspring will live like this again......

However, Alan didn't want to be a farmer, he didn't want to live like this. Although, seven or eight years of mercenary career has tempered many of his previous immature ideas. However, in Allen's heart, he still wants to become a field nobleman, which is his dream. So, Alan chose to become an explorer, and when he was a child, he also heard and learned many stories from various sources, which were told and passed down by word of mouth.

He also had a longing at the time, but he was suppressed by reality later.

Now, after seven or eight years of mercenary career, Allen has already grown up. But it was suddenly born that he wanted to become an explorer, and he invited some of his friends who had been in the mercenary group, and these people were also tired of the life of mercenaries. Although becoming an explorer still inevitably involves encountering dangers, compared to mercenaries, the dangers that explorers face are completely negligible. This is because the chances of them succeeding in finding a ruin and an unexplored place are extremely low.

As a result, former mercenaries, who were completely tired of their current lives, agreed to become explorers, although few employers could hire them to explore. However, Alan and his friends wanted to make an effort for once. Born into an aristocratic family, Allen's education and the stories he heard since he was a child led him to focus on his research and search. And the ancient legend between the gods is undoubtedly even more attractive, and it was at one point that Alan accidentally learned of a place hidden in a swamp and suspected to be like a ruin.

With great interest, Alan took his expedition team, and after making some preparations, he crossed the mountains and waded through the water to the swamp where the ruins were suspected to exist.
