Prologue
O earthly creatures!
Listen to this tragic song of the brave
It is like the tears of the sky, washing away the dust and ashes of history
In those years of suffering
In that darkness of despair
Someone has lit the way forward with the fire of life
It brings warmth and hope
O earthly creatures
Listen to this tragic song of the brave
Like the roar of the earth, shattering the heavy shackles and shackles
In those years of suffering
In that darkness of despair
Someone used the sword of faith to cut off the thorns in front of them
Freedom and liberation were brought about
Marven is a member of the Xia tribe, well, that is, the group of people with black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin.
It is not a lucky thing to be a Xia people in this year, not only is it unlucky, but it may also bring all kinds of unjustified disasters - the Xia people are a cursed people, they have no faith, they are abandoned by the gods, the Xia people are destined to live on the streets, live the lowest life, and their lives are destined to be accompanied by bad luck.

"The gods say they are merciful, why did they abandon the Xia people and impose the most cruel curse on this people?"
No one knows this answer, and no one wants to know this answer, about the Xia people, the believers of the gods only got one revelation from the obscure oracle - the Xia people, this evil people who used the dragon as a totem, were too sinful to be favored by the gods, and they were only worthy of the heaviest labor in this world, and lived the lowest life to atone for their sins. The followers of the gods followed the teachings of the gods devoutly, and they used whips, shackles, and heavy labor to help the Xia people wash away their sins.
However, in Middle-earth, there are always people who try to escape the fate arranged by the gods, and according to the history books of various countries, this group of people either took the throne or was burned at the stake.
Marven is a person who is not very restless and wants to change his fate. However, the throne and the burning at the stake may have been destined to miss him, and he feels like he is now about to crumble with his own wounds.
The rag on his left shoulder had been completely stained dark red with blood, left over from the terrible battle he had hatched the day before, a long-planned rebellion by him and his fellow Xia people......
They were unfortunately captured as slaves by a small nobleman named Francis van der Mon, Francis is the illegitimate son of a declining nobleman, but his shrewdness and stinginess are not inferior to other Morowingian merchants, with the last bit of family savings in the Habsburg suburbs to buy a small iron mine, in order to save the wages of hired miners, this miserly little rich man simply hired a few mercenaries, plus his own group of family members formed a small slave hunting team, they dare not hit the attention of the dwarves, any dwarven warrior can overthrow their group of family members who are not even low-level warriors, thereforeFrancis wisely chose to target the Xia people, who were known for their weakness and lowliness.
It has to be said that under the guidance of Francis, the slave hunting team has achieved a lot of results, and in less than a week, it has captured one hundred and sixty-three Xia people, and this group of slaves who do not need to pay any remuneration has greatly helped him to reduce the cost of iron mining.
The holy, noble, and great Church of Light certainly does not tolerate inhumane acts, but for all pagans, including the Xia people, the punishment for heresy is just, because it is in accordance with God's will and God's teachings. In order to make the believers of God more resolute and heroic in exterminating the infidels, the bishops and priests of the whole world are tirelessly teaching the people: do not take these heretics and cursed Xia people as human beings, but imagine them as some kind of disgusting creatures, such as cockroaches, rats, and ogres, and exterminate them as a noble mission given to you by God......
Unfortunately, Francis's good fortune did not last long, his iron mine was less than two years old, and more than 130 laborers (nearly 30 lost due to illness and disability) launched an organized and premeditated riot, and his family and the hired mercenaries were defeated by this group of cunning Xia people, but fortunately he himself was clever enough to jump into the dung pit at the critical moment to escape.
Afterwards, the Francis mine owner crawled to the local bishop with the smell of feces, and Bishop Hérault covered his nose and angrily and painfully said that he would bring the evil Xia heretics to justice, and then they dispatched the heavy knights of the Templar Order to hunt down the prisoners, and in this operation, the Templars lived up to his reputation in Middle-earth, and soon they crucified one hundred and thirty Xia people and cut off their heads. However, I don't know if it was because the honorariums given by the mine owners were too small, and the noble Templars didn't seem to do their best in this operation, or there were fish that escaped from their pursuit, and it was this escaped fish that rewrote the history of Middle-earth in the near future......
Marvin escaped from the pursuit, but was stabbed in the left shoulder by a paladin in the middle of the battle with a paladin's sword. After that, he jumped into a river and floated down the river for almost the whole night before escaping the pursuit.
Marvin wasn't the only one who escaped, along with him was his best companion ------- Aite. However, Aite's condition was worse than him, he was seriously injured by Douqi, and there was not a trace of injury on the surface of his body, but he was coughing up blood vigorously. Apparently, his internal organs were badly injured.
After escaping the pursuit, Marven took great pains to drag Aite out of the river, Aite had been the strongest and strongest of all their companions, and he was also one of the main planners of the uprising---------- he was mainly responsible for teaching his martial arts to each of the Xia laborers who participated in the rebellion, and under his training, this group of Xia people became a group of well-trained warriors, who almost succeeded in the riot, but unfortunately they were not the opponents of the Templars after all.
Aite's condition deteriorated rapidly, and he was unable to stand, so Marvin had to sell the two heavy swords he had captured from Francis, and buy a small cart from a farmer to push Aite on.
"Horse ...... Marven, I... Knowing your physical condition, you can ...... Maybe I won't live long, leave me alone, hurry... Come on... bar. Aite barely supported himself with his elbows, and his voice seemed weak.
"Aite, my brother, don't talk, you finally escaped, I won't leave you, this is not far from Biloch City, I will find the best doctor here and do my best to save you." ”
Aite lay on the cart again, he was silent for a long time, just kept squinting at Marven who was pulling the cart, Marven is not tall, but his arms are particularly strong and powerful---------- this is the result of his long hard training, so even if he is seriously injured in the left shoulder, he can still pull the car very hard, the bandage on Marven's left shoulder has been stained red with blood, he gritted his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks twitched from time to time, it can be seen that he is enduring great pain, but he did not let out a single moan, the sharp gaze in his eyes is still calmly looking ahead。
Aite sat up half-sat up again, and said slowly but firmly: "Marven, my brother, no matter what happens, you have to live...... Because...... You...... is our only ...... Hope ......"
Marven didn't answer him, just quickened his pace, and the cart still walked smoothly on the potholed path. The sky began to rain more and more, and the outline of Rocky City became clearer in the rain.
