Chapter 341
Thousand Sails City, a city in the southern part of the continent bordering the endless ocean. The city is very prosperous because of its warm climate, a typical tropical harbor city, and one of the sea ports for communication with other continents, where the merchant ships of the Oriental continent who cross the endless ocean from afar will unload their goods and be transported by local chambers of commerce from the land or the Carat River waterway to the rest of the mainland.
The whole city is a famous big city on the mainland, except for the pearl of the northland, which is also on the edge of the northern ocean, the largest and most prosperous city, the whole city is estimated to have a population of more than 200,000.
Nathan Lafayette is sixteen years old, the son of the secretary of the city council's recorder, and this little guy has had a good standard of living since he was a child, and his balanced nutrition and good training have made him a third-class warrior at this age, and he must have a bright future ahead of him - but it all ended seventy-two hours ago.
His father, the secretary, had been recruited into the secret Devil's Church by his boss, the Parliamentary Recorder, more than a decade earlier. This group orchestrates an attempt to gain more favor by sacrificing certain powerful magical items to their owners. Many names were involved, so the nosy deity of the "nosy" Church of Dawn sent down a vague oracle, and a chattering senior priest led a group of adventurers with a sense of justice or excessive desires—a combination of warriors, thieves, and magicians—who succeeded in sabotaging the operation of the Devil's Church and capturing almost all of the cultists, including Nathan's father.
Seventy-two hours earlier, they had been burned at the stake of the Church—and the Church could only be purified by the Parliament and the Tribunal because of the conclusive evidence—but several of the powerful men were banished or fined, but Nathan's father was not among them.
Nathan's property was confiscated, and the teenager cursed the council boss and the nosy Dawn Church from the bottom of his heart, and left the Thousand Sails City. In any case, as a third-level warrior, Nathan still has the ability to protect himself. He came to the door of an abandoned and dilapidated house on the outskirts of Thousand Sails, where his father had secretly told him early in the morning, and where his father had left something so that the family would have a way out if something happened.
Following his father's words, Nathan found an equilateral triangle on the outside of the house and the well outside the house, and pricked his finger to drip blood on the spot. Silently, a large stone behind the species was removed, revealing a hole that didn't exist in the first place—if the circle was not activated, the stone would have been removed directly, and there would have been just a layer of dirt underneath, but after the circle was activated, the surface camouflaged soil of more than a meter thick would automatically disappear.
He stepped down from the cave and took out a bag of gold coins and two scrolls. Now, Nathan had enough money and two spell scrolls to get him away from Thousand Sails City and start a new life elsewhere, but this guy didn't do that.
"I want revenge!" this is the obsession of this warrior Nathan, but as a child who is only sixteen years old, and he has also entered the warrior profession with muscles in his brain, then he will only have one way - become a super soldier and kill back.........
As for how to become a super soldier? Nathan can only think of three ways at present: one is to train himself hard, and then go on an adventure on the continent, and grow into a high-level warrior in the adventure, if he is lucky, it is estimated that it will take 20 years to become a warrior above level ten; This is also a matter of good luck, and the third one is similar to the second one, but it draws on part of the first one, which is to find some magic items or magic weapons in the adventure, or simply use the mysterious magic scroll to increase your strength, and if you are lucky, you will become a master within a year......
Because of his father, Nathan didn't have any good feelings for the Devil's Church and the Dawn Church, and other churches, such as the Good Church of the God of Justice, were unlikely to support his revenge, and those Church of the Dark Gods, this boy couldn't find a way to join. And as a very heavy weight, it is: about a hundred kilometers away from the north of Qianfan City, there is a swamp of tens of thousands of square kilometers, which is said to have many mysterious ruins and dungeons, and the legend says that this swamp is still caused by a series of gods and demons and magic wars, so I heard that there are still many abandoned magic towers. Nathan grew up listening to these legends, and he had seen adventurers who had come back from successful adventures there, acquired magical weapons, and even gained immense strength.
So the kid immediately came to a conclusion and headed north. Arrive at the adventurer's town on the outskirts of the swamp and venture into the swamp with that as the center, you might find something good.
On this day, the boy arrived in the adventurer's town known as Highland Town, which has several taverns and inns, dozens of houses, weapons shops, grocery stores, and even shops selling and buying magic items and ingredients.
Nathan had about three hundred gold coins in his hand, enough to keep him in the town until he was eighty years old—if he lived honestly like a normal resident. However, after finding a hotel, this guy rushed headlong into the tavern and began to gather information and find teammates - even a warrior with muscles in his head knew that he couldn't enter the swamp alone.
In the tavern, Nathan gets the first warning: "There is at least one black dragon in the swamp, and I heard that some explorers have seen black dragons when they entered a certain ruin, but they were lucky to escape." As for whether there is only one black dragon? You must know that this swamp is so big, it is impossible for only one black dragon to rule the entire swamp. ”
As for the ruins, after Nathan threw out a gold coin, a friend of the Underground Brotherhood's map business in the tavern sold him a map that God knew was right—still incomplete, with large blank swaths.
"Because of the Black Dragon—not just the Black Dragon, no one has been there for hundreds of years—at least on the surface, no one has explored all of the swamp, and all we know is the terrain and ruins within a hundred kilometers of the swamp. This was a kind reminder from the friend of the Brotherhood who had sold the map, out of happiness after doing a good business, to remind Nathan.
All this could not dispel Nathan's thoughts, he looked at the few ruin addresses on the map in his hand, and made a decision on the spot: "You must go deep into the swamp!"
The next day, he found an archer—Barth, a twenty-something man who was also a third-level archer, and Kandal, a super-optimistic halfling thief who looked like he didn't know how old he was, and all three of them were ready to enter the swamp—all optimists who had just arrived in the town and wanted to get a vote in the swamp right away.
