Predatory map of ominous birds

() Thousand Sails City, this is a city in the southern part of the mainland on the edge of the Endless Ocean.The climate is warm, and it is a typical tropical seaport city. It is also one of the seaports that communicate with other continents. Here, merchant ships from the Eastern Continent across the endless ocean will unload their cargo. Shipping to all parts of the mainland, so, the city is very bustling.

The whole city is a well-known big city on the mainland. Apart from the Pearl of the North, which is also on the edge of the northern ocean, this city is the largest and most prosperous. The entire city is estimated to have a population of more than 20.

Nathan Lafayette is 16 years old this year. As the son of the secretary of the City Council Recorder, this little guy has a good standard of living since he was a child. Balanced nutrition and good exercise make him a third-level fighter at this age, ri There must have been a bright future in the future - except that it was all over 72 hours ago.

His father, the secretary, had been absorbed into the secret Devil Church organization by his boss, the Recorder of the Parliament more than ten years ago.This group has hatched an attempt to gain more favor by sacrificing certain powerful magical items to their masters.Many people's names were involved, so the "nosy" god of the Dawn Church issued an ambiguous oracle, and a group of justice or ** was led by a nagging senior priest. The surplus of adventurers—including warriors, thieves, and magicians—successfully disrupted the operation of the Church of the Devil and captured almost all of its members, including Nathan's father.

72 hours ago, these people were purified on the stake of the church - due to the overwhelming evidence, the parliament and the court could only allow the church to purify these people - but several of the high-ranking guys were just exiled or exiled. Fines, but not Nathan's father.

Nathan's family property was confiscated, and the boy cursed from the bottom of his heart the big boss of the council and the nosy Church of Dawn, and then left Thousand Sails City.In any case, as a third-level fighter, Nathan still has the ability to protect himself.He came to the door of an abandoned house on the outskirts of Qianfan City. This was the place his father had secretly told him early in the morning. retreat.

According to the words left by his father, Nathan found a place outside the house that formed an equilateral triangle with the house and the well outside the house, pricked his finger, and dripped blood on this point.Silently, a big rock behind the species was removed like this, revealing a hole that didn't exist before - if the stone was removed without activating the magic circle, there would be just a layer of soil underneath, but with the magic circle activated After that, the one-meter-thick soil camouflaged on the surface will automatically disappear.

He walked down the hole and took out a bag of gold coins and two scrolls.Now, Nathan has enough money and two spell scrolls to allow him to stay away from Thousand Sails City and start a new life elsewhere, but this guy didn't do it.

"I want revenge!" This is the obsession in the heart of this warrior Nathan, but as a child who is only 16 years old, and he has taken up a career as a warrior whose brain is full of muscles, then he will only have one method—— —Become a super soldier, then kill back...

As for how to become a super soldier?At present, 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 fighter during the adventure. If he is lucky, it is estimated that it will take 20 years to become a fighter above tenth level; The second is to try to join a certain church, and then rely on divine grace to be promoted to a high-level warrior or paladin, but this not only requires devout faith, but also requires more than ten years-this also depends on Good luck; the third is similar to the second, but part of the method of the first is absorbed, that is, find some magic props or magic weapons during the adventure, or simply use the mysterious magic scroll to increase your power , if you are lucky, you may become a master within a year...

Because of his father, Nathan has no affection for the Church of the Devil and the Church of Dawn, and other churches, such as the God of Justice and other good churches, are probably unlikely to support his act of revenge, and those churches of the dark gods, The boy couldn't find a way to join again.And as a very heavy weight: about 100 kilometers north of Qianfan City, there is a swamp of tens of thousands of square kilometers. It is said that there are many mysterious ruins and dungeons. According to legend, this swamp is due to a series of It was caused by the battle between gods and demons and magic, so I heard that there are still many abandoned magic towers.Nathan grew up listening to these legends, and he has also seen adventurers who came back after a successful adventure there, obtained magical weapons, and even gained great power.

So the kid immediately came to a conclusion, go north.Arrive at the adventurer town on the outskirts of the swamp, and then venture into the swamp from there, maybe you can find something good.

This kid arrived in this adventurer town called Highland Town on this day. There are several taverns and hotels in the town, as well as dozens of residential buildings. There is also no shortage of weapon shops and grocery stores, and even sales and purchases A shop for magic items and ingredients.

Nathan had about three hundred gold pieces in his hand, enough to keep him in the town until he was eighty--if he lived like the average resident.However, after finding a hotel, this guy plunged into the tavern and began to collect information and search for teammates—even a warrior with a brain full of muscles knows that it is impossible to enter the swamp to explore alone.

In the tavern, Nathan got the first warning: "There is at least one black dragon in the swamp. I heard that some explorers have seen a black dragon when they entered a certain ruin, but they escaped luckily. As for whether it is Only this 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 who was in the map business in the tavern also sold him a God knows what map—it was still incomplete, with large blank areas.

"Because of the black dragon—in fact, it's not just the black dragon. No one has explored the entire swamp for hundreds of years—at least apparently, no one has explored the entire swamp. All we know is to enter the swamp for a hundred kilometers. It’s just the terrain and ruins within.” This is what the friend of the fraternity reminded Nathan out of the joy of doing a good business after selling the map.

All this can't dispel Nathan's thoughts at all. Looking at the few ruins addresses on the map in his hand, he made a decision immediately: "We must go deep into the swamp!"

On the second day, he found an archer - Bart, a man in his 20s who is also a third-level archer, and Kandal, a super optimistic halfling thief who doesn't know how old he is. The three of them are ready Into the swamp—all optimists who had just arrived in this town and wanted to get into the swamp right away.
