Chapter 422 The Swamp of Despair
To the north of the grassland is a swamp that stretches for thousands of kilometers. This area is called the Swamp of Despair by the local residents. The reason why it is called Despair is not only because of its harsh environment, but also for those who live in the swamp. Ferocious Warcraft.

Of course, where there are monsters, there will be adventurers. The crystal nucleus of monsters is always the most attractive. To the east of this swamp, there is a large-scale city named Landiga.

It took Gaia two days of flying time to reach Landiga City according to the map instructions on the parchment scroll. The Swamp of Despair is just north of Landiga City. Gaia has prepared enough with the help of Tida. The necessities of adventurers, because there are still no suitable weapons, Gaia simply returned to her original profession, being a magician.

Now Gaia's magic strength has reached the level of a magister. With the improvement of his magic cultivation, the disadvantage caused by not having a contract seems to have gradually disappeared. Now, from the perspective of a magician alone, his cultivation is far away. Far surpassed his peers, after all, the chaotic time in God's Forbidden Land created Gaiado's two years of cultivation.

Fei Ze's flame bird has conveyed the news of Serene, and Gaia is also very helpless about Serene's stubborn attitude. Gaia originally planned to find her, but the little phoenix did not convey the location of Serene at all. He had no choice but to give up and focus on the remains of the elves, trying to find the source of life as quickly as possible, otherwise his cultivation might stagnate.

Although the half-scroll of Charlotte indicated that the swamp ruins were in this area, there was no specific route indication at all. It was not easy to find the former ruins in this vast swamp, and Gaia had to Go to the Adventurer's Guild, otherwise he will have no way to start.

Landiga's Adventurer's Guild is quite impressive, and there are quite a few adventurers waiting for companionship and entrustment during this period of time. The monsters in the Swamp of Despair are more fierce, and the average strength of the adventurers here is not so low. Gaia roughly scans However, it can also be judged that most of the people here are above senior swordsmen.

Gaia, dressed in a magic robe, soon attracted the attention of adventurers. Magicians have always been popular targets for nobles, mercenaries, adventure teams, etc., because magicians have always occupied the absolute main position in group battles. They Large-scale magic and long-range attacks can also suppress the enemy most effectively, and adventurers are often the ones who need magicians the most but also lack magicians the most, so Gaia, who is not too shabby in magic attire, of course will Let the eyes of those adventurers who are eager to join the magician light up.

When Gaia walked from the adventurer hall to the entrustment hall, more than a dozen adventurers asked Gaia if they would join their team. Of course Gaia would not join the adventure team without a purpose. Gaia simply refused to join. Find out if there is anything about exploring the ruins among the commissions.

The legend of the swamp ruins is actually very popular in Landiga City. In the entrustment hall, it is often seen that some nobles entrust adventurers to find the rich ancient treasures in the ruins, but the swamp ruins of Landiga Although people have their legends, very few people actually found this relic.

Some adventurers in Landiga City often boast that they have seen ancient ruins in the swamp, but when they are asked to tell the exact location, they become hesitant, and they all just say that they accidentally stepped into that area when they lost their way. area, but quickly and inexplicably went out. These rumors are generally the topics of those adventurers in the tavern after drinking. It is difficult to know whether it is true or not. You can find the relic by entering the Swamp of Despair.

There are indeed quite a few commissions to find the ruins of the swamp, and even the royal families of some duchies in Charlotte, apparently the royal family has been coveting the treasures of these ancient ruins for a long time.

"Are you also very interested in that ruin?" A man's voice sounded behind Gaia, apparently the words of an adventurer.

"It's not that I'm interested, but I have to find it." Gaia didn't look back, and continued to search for a more satisfactory commission on the list.

Naturally, Gaia checked the commission list not to accept the commission, but to find a team of adventurers who might help him find the ruins. This swamp of despair is shrouded in swamp gas from time to time. Gaia wants to rely on flying to find the ruins. Possibly, since the parchment did not specify the specific location, he could only rely on those adventurers who were familiar with the terrain and experienced.

"If it is said that I have seen that ruin, do you believe it?" The man continued.

Gaia turned her head at this time, looked at the adventurer in front of her seriously, and then said to the burly man in his 30s, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I need a team that is familiar with the Swamp of Despair."

"Then joining our Essen adventure team is your best choice." The man said with a smile, he deliberately took out a map scroll that he drew from the armor, opened it with one hand, and placed it in front of Gaia , continued, "I spent nearly five years drawing this map. Although I dare not say that it covers the entire Swamp of Despair, there are some obvious terrains on the outside, in the middle of the swamp, and even in the untouched interior. Summarize."

Gaia didn't expect this person to be so professional, so he also took the map scroll and compared it with some rough drawings on the parchment scroll from memory, and found that the hand-drawn map in this man's hand is indeed much more detailed .

"How many of you are there, and what is your average strength?" Gaia asked.Based on this handmade map alone, Gaia believed this man somewhat. Before he came to the Adventurer's Guild, he also bought some rough maps of the Swamp of Despair that were circulated among adventurers. Those maps were obviously not of great importance to him. function, and the picture in this man's hand is really fine.

"Including you and me, there are six people in total. I am a second-level great swordsman, and the others are also at the first and second levels. Our team plans to accept the commission from the Lake royal family. As long as we provide enough clues, we can get a lot of money from this commission." Of course, if we can really find that place, the Principality of Lake may invite our team to join their royal family, and maybe even get a title." The man said.

"En." Gaia nodded. If the average strength of this team is about that of the Great Swordsman, they should barely be able to protect themselves, as long as they don't take him off and retreat.

If the strength reaches a high level, you can serve the nobles, and if you want to enter the royal family, it is impossible without the rank of a great swordsman, but even if a great swordsman does not have a title, his status is not high, at most he can be a food and clothing Carefree guards, many people still don't like this kind of restrained and low-status life, so they still choose to be an adventurer.

Although adventurers are relatively low-strength people, the average strength of some adventure teams that accept huge commissions is quite amazing. There is even an adventure team composed of holy-level strongmen in the Eden Adventure Guild. They are all strong people who like to live unrestrained life, and the adventure places they choose are also some places such as the S area of ​​the Warcraft Mountains, the depths of the Death Canyon, the center of the Horror Forest, and the Dragon Abyss. Saint-level adventurers brought them out from these places where heavy treasures may be hidden.

"My name is Essen, the captain of this adventure team. You are welcome to join us." Essen shook hands with Gaia in a friendly manner.

"Lauren." Gaia said the name lightly. The word 'Gaia' must not be used. The leader of the three evil youths, although it is not sure whether the news has reached Landiga City, but in order to avoid some troubles, he still uses a fake name.Of course, this is actually not a fake name, it should be regarded as Gaia's real surname.

"Then what else do you need to prepare? The five of us are already ready to go. If it weren't for that guy's sudden emergency, we would already be in the middle of the Swamp of Despair." Essen said.

"Tomorrow morning if possible." Gaia said.It's getting late now, and after flying for two consecutive days, Gaia also needs to rest for one night to adjust.

"It couldn't be better, so let's leave early tomorrow morning, oh, if you don't have any arrangements now, I can take you to the hotel to meet our other partners."

"kindness."

……

Said to meet other people, Gaia probably greeted them and went back to his room to meditate. The decline of life breath made the magic power in his body consume very fast, and no matter how he practiced during this time, magic The cyclone will not have any expansion, and even the sub-cyclone that has reached the standard of a second-order great magician shows signs of extremely slow recovery of magic power.

Similarly, after using the fetish, Gaia's body is overloaded, and there are obvious obstacles in the concentration and release of battle energy, and there is always a feeling of depression that cannot be used with all its strength

Flying for two days consumed Gaia's five-level mana and three-level battle qi. If it was the past, the five-level mana could be restored to about eight levels after one night's meditation, but now it has only recovered to six levels. And the grudge has not fully recovered.

The moment the sun just rose, Gaia entered the two basic disappearing sleep periods. After waking up, other team members also began to pack their things and plan to set off.

Gaia has a space ring, so he doesn't need to bring anything, even he, a magician, doesn't even like to use a magic wand. He just wears a magic robe like that, and he doesn't need to bring anything to slowly follow behind the team.

The other members of the adventure team other than Captain Essen are also swordsmen. Midilla, who holds a big sword, is a man over two meters tall, and the big sword is nearly two meters long.Omar, who holds a dagger, boasted that he used to be an assassin, and he specialized in accepting some assassination commissions. Qiuli, who uses a sword, is a nobleman who has come out to experience. He looks gentle and refined, more in line with a magician. body type.

The last one is a female swordsman named Feiman. This female swordsman is about 25 years old. She looks not bad, but she can't be called a beauty. Some women who practice fighting qi are very good in shape, especially under the close-fitting short armor modification, the plump buttocks and thin waist always make these adventurers who have been in the blood for a long time dream about it.

The female swordsman Feiman is the younger sister of the captain Essen. From the joking conversations of other people, we can know that if anyone dares to attack Feiman, the captain Essen will definitely break his leg.

"Essen, you don't even know what level of magician he is, why did you let him join us?" The female swordsman Feman seemed not in the habit of calling Essen her elder brother. She glanced back at Gaia who was following behind the team. , said in a low voice.

"Don't you believe my vision? Have you seen those rings on his hands? I'm sure they are all B-level or above equipment. Do you think that such a person may have low strength?" Essen has never Asked about Gaia's strength, the reason why he was so relieved to let him join was because he was wearing it. Although this young man's magic robe was not gorgeous, but the necklace and ring were something adventurers like them had never seen before. Breaking into the Swamp of Despair, how could the strength be low.

In fact, Essen had been paying attention to this young man's expression when he was talking to Gaia before, especially when Essen said that he was a great swordsman, Essen could accurately judge that there was no expression in the young man's eyes. Feeling astonished, it seemed that the great swordsman was nothing to him, which also made Essen more sure of the extraordinary strength of this young man.

"But this magician is too arrogant. He doesn't bring anything with him. If it weren't for us, I'll see how he would leave this swamp." All the other swordsmen, including her, were carrying heavy packages, but that guy was so laid back.

"Don't worry about it, he is a magician after all, and his physical strength is definitely not as good as ours." Essen didn't have much dislike for Gaia. In his opinion, this magician didn't have that kind of impetuousness, but was very city-like. , shouldn't be the kind of fledgling magic academy student.

The exterior of the Swamp of Despair is already muddy, the dark green moss and gray algae cover the entire land, rotten and broken branches float on some mud ponds, looking as far as the eye can see, it is such a desolate scene, occasionally there are some swamps Creatures squirmed in the mud, and some vultures circled the always dark sky, looking for some rotting corpses, and they would also make an unpleasant and sharp cry from time to time.

There are not many types of creatures on the swamp, but there are many in number. This place that is difficult for humans to set foot in is already a paradise for these creatures who like to live in darkness and humidity. If other aliens break in, they will not hesitate launch an attack.

The creatures outside the Swamp of Despair do not pose much threat to their team, but even if they wear long boots, it is very troublesome to walk on this kind of land. It took about a day, and the shoes of several swordsmen It was covered with a thick layer of mud and had to be dragged down and placed in a pond for cleaning.
