Qianfan City, a city in the southern part of the mainland that is bordered by the endless ocean. The climate is warm, it is a typical tropical harbor city and one of the sea ports that communicate with other mainland China. Oriental mainland merchant ships coming from afar will unload their cargo and transport them to all parts of the mainland by the local chamber of commerce from land or Kalat River waterway. Therefore, this city is very prosperous.
The entire city is a famous big city on the mainland. Apart from the Pearl of the North and the one on the northern ocean, the city is the largest and most prosperous. The entire city is estimated to have a population of more than 200,000.
Nathan Lafayette is sixteen years old this year. As the son of the secretary of the city council recorder, this little guy has lived a good living standard since he was a child. His balanced nutrition and good exercise have made him a third-level warrior at this age and he will definitely have a bright future in the future - but it all ended 72 hours ago.
His father, the secretary, was absorbed by his boss and the recorder of the council, into the secret devil church organization more than ten years ago. The organization planned an action to sacrifice some powerful magical items to their masters and gain more favor. Many people were involved in the names of people, so the nosy god of the "nosy" Dawn Church descended a vague oracle, and a divine senior pastor led a group of adventurers with a sense of justice or excess - including warriors, thieves and magicians. They successfully destroyed the devil church's actions and captured almost all the believers, including Nathan's father.
Seventy-two hours ago, these people were purified on the stakes of the church - because of the conclusive evidence, the parliament and the court could only allow the church to purify these people - but a few of the high-powered guys were just exiled or fined, but Nathan's father was not listed.
Nathan's property was confiscated. The young man cursed the boss of the council and the meddling Chenxi Church from the bottom of his heart, and then left Qianfan City. No matter what, as a third-level warrior, Nathan still has the ability to protect himself. He came to the door of an abandoned and broken house outside Qianfan City. This was the place his father had already told him secretly in the morning. Here his father left something so that the whole family could have a way out after something happened.
Nathan found the house outside the house according to his father's words. The well outside the house became an equilateral triangle, pierced his fingers and dripped blood on this point. Silently, a large stone behind the species was removed, revealing a hole that did not exist. If the magic circle was not activated, it would be just a layer of soil below, but after the magic circle was activated, the soil more than one meter thick on the surface would automatically disappear.
He walked down the hole and took out a bag of gold coins and two scrolls from it. Now, Nathan had enough money and two spell scrolls to completely allow him to stay away from Qianfan City and start a new life elsewhere, but this guy didn't do that.
"I want to take revenge!" This is the obsession in the warrior Nathan's heart, but as a sixteen-year-old child and a soldier profession with muscles in his brain, he only knows one way - to become a super warrior and then kill back...
As for how to become a super warrior? Nathan can only think of three ways: one is to train himself hard, and then go to the mainland to take risks, and grow into a high-level warrior in adventure. If you are lucky, it is estimated that it will take 20 years to become a warrior above level ten; the second is to try to join a church, and then be promoted to a high-level warrior or paladin with the grace of the gods, but this does not only require devout faith, but also takes more than ten years - this is also a matter of good luck; the third is similar to the second, but it has also absorbed part of the method of the first, that is, to find some magic props or magic weapons in adventure, or simply use mysterious magic scrolls to increase your strength. If you are lucky, you may become a master within a year...
Due to his father, Nathan had no good feelings for the Devil Church and the Morning Church. Other churches, such as the God of Justice, would not support his revenge. However, the young man could not find a way to join the churches of the Dark Gods. And as a very heavy weight, there is a swamp of tens of thousands of square kilometers north of Qianfan City, which is said to have many mysterious relics and dungeons. The swamp is said to be caused by a series of wars between gods and demons, so I heard that there are many abandoned magic towers. Nathan grew up listening to these legends since he was a child, and he had also seen adventurers who came back after a successful adventure there, obtained magic weapons, and even gained huge power.
So the boy immediately came to the conclusion and headed north and arrived at the Adventurer Town outside the swamp, and then entered the swamp to adventure with it as the center. Maybe you could find good things.
On this day, the boy arrived in this adventurer town called Highland Town. There are several taverns and hotels, dozens of houses, and there are also no shortage of weapons and grocery shops, and there are even shops that sell and purchase magic props and raw materials.
Nathan had about three hundred gold coins in his hand, which was enough to keep him living in the town until he was eighty-years--if he was honestly alive like an ordinary resident. However, after finding a hotel, the guy plunged into the tavern, began to collect intelligence and find teammates--even a warrior with muscles in his mind knew that he could not enter the swamp alone to explore.
In the tavern, Nathan got the first warning: "There is at least one black dragon in the swamp. I heard that explorers had seen the black dragon when they entered a certain ruin, but they were lucky enough to escape. As for the only one black dragon? You must know that the swamp is so big that it is impossible for only one black dragon to rule the entire swamp."
As for the ruins, after Nathan threw out a gold coin, his friend who was doing map business in the tavern also sold him a map that God knew was right and wrong - it was still incomplete, with large blank spaces.
"Because of the black dragon - it's not just the black dragon, there's no one in hundreds of years - at least no one has explored all the swamps on the surface. All we can know is the terrain and ruins within a hundred kilometers of the swamps." This is a good reminder from Nathan after selling the map, out of the joy of doing a good business.
All this could not dispel Nathan's idea at all. He looked at the few ruins on the map in his hand and made a decision: "You must go deep into the swamp!"
On the next day, he found an archer - Bart, a man in his twenties who was also a third-level archer, and Kandal, a super Lotte halfling thief who seemed to be of unknown age. The three of them were ready to enter the swamp - all optimistic people who had just arrived in the town and wanted to get a vote of them immediately into the swamp.
