At this moment, Allen is feeling that he is moving towards the most brilliant moment in his life. As a member of an aristocratic family, he received education and learning from childhood, which was admired by countless civilians. Not only did he learn the necessary fighting knowledge such as fencing, riding and unifying troops, but also he learned management, etiquette, geography and even astronomy. He learned almost everything he could.
Although, these learning knowledge, learn more, but also not proficient. However, it was only riding and fencing that Allen attached great importance to his fighting skills. In the process of learning these skills, he devoted a lot of effort and hard work. Because, although he was born in an aristocratic family, as his second son, he has no right of inheritance.
He had no right to inherit the title of nobility, the feudalism of the family and the property under the name of the family. All these are the property of his eldest son. As his second son, he has known these problems since he was sensible. I also know the problems that every second son will face in the future and the way out in the future.
Allen knew his fate very well, although he was unwilling, because he was better than the eldest son of the family and his brother in terms of knowledge and martial arts. But it happened that he came to the world as a second son. His brother, however, came to the world as his eldest son. He didn't need to study so hard to inherit everything in his family reasonably and legally. And he, even in the study, the final result is still in adulthood, will be driven out of the house.
Fortunately, Allen's father gave him some money, though not much, which was not enough to support the noble's luxurious life. However, if he lived frugally, it would be enough for him for several years. In addition, there was a chestnut horse, a suit of leather armor, a long sword and a few salutes. Apart from these, he left home with nothing.
Allen also complained about the gods, why he was so unfair, he was so excellent, hard-working. As a result, the gods treated him like this and gave him the status of second son. And that is obviously not as good as his brother in all aspects, because he is the eldest son, so even if he does nothing, he will inherit all the family reasonably and legally in the future. Continue to live a noble life, and he, but can only lead a horse, with a few salutes, quietly out of the house.
For this reason, he resented the gods and his own origin.
But there is no other way for him. This is because this is the way the world is, and such a set of rules has continued since ancient times. So many years have passed without any change. The eldest son inherits everything from the family, not only from the noble family, but also from the common people. The second son, however, can only leave with a small amount of wealth. If he is lucky, he may become a servant Knight like many second sons of nobles who have been driven out of their families. If he is a powerful nobleman with a fiefdom, he may get a piece of territory after making contributions. They also became knights with fiefdoms.
However, if you are an aristocrat without a fiefdom, then life is not easy. After all, no matter how much wealth you have, it's always better than down-to-earth territory.
Allen, however, did not choose to become a knight servant of the nobility, nor did he think about which nobility he would serve in the past. He chose to join a mercenary regiment and become a mercenary.
Sometimes the reputation of mercenaries is not so popular among the people. Mercenaries are a group of gangs who dare to do anything for money. However, some notorious mercenary gangs, after accepting the employment of their employers, tend to do some outrageous things in the process of employment. And the chain reaction of these is that the reputation of the mercenary is completely destroyed. Although not all mercenary regiments are like this, only a few can stick to the bottom line.
The mercenary regiment that Allen joined, though not very well-known, was not bad either. As a member of an aristocratic family who is erudite (not proficient) and well-informed (only in his hometown), Allen feels that his martial arts, which he has practiced hard since childhood, has not experienced actual combat and is difficult to continue to improve in the future. Therefore, he wanted to join the mercenary team, become a member of the mercenary, experience the fighting on the battlefield, and exercise his martial arts. Although he can join the army for training, his country has not fought for decades. God knows, how long will it take to fight? It's different to join a mercenary regiment. The mercenary's tasks come from different places and countries. They can go to different places.
Whether it's a task as small as eliminating bandits, helping one leader fight another, or joining a country to fight with another... The colorful life of mercenary makes Allen firmly believe. As long as you can exercise in the mercenary regiment for a period of time, you will have great changes. The most important thing is that Allen wants to change a better set of equipment for himself, and is ready to make contributions through a large-scale war, so as to become an aristocrat on the ground again.
His dream is to become a nobleman in the field again, not to continue his wandering as a bloody mercenary. Alan hated this life and talked about his own fate.
Allen, who has been in the mercenary regiment for seven or eight years, has experienced countless battles, and his actual combat experience can be said to be rich. But at the same time, Allen, who knew nothing at that time, was also changed a lot because of the seven or eight years' test. At least, today, he has experienced more and understood more. More clearly, they want to become a field aristocracy, is not so simple thing.
And Alan, who was tired of all this, didn't want to stay in the mercenary regiment. Although he has accumulated some money over the years, it's not much because every time he receives a task, he fights with others. Everyone's heart, are holding a gas, and the best way to vent this gas is to indulge or drunk. Only in this way can we let the tension, fatigue and uneasiness out of our hearts.
Allen is the same. Like all the mercenaries, he is also venting in this way. Almost half of the money earned each time is spent on prostitutes and rum. The money I have earned these years is just to prepare a set of equipment for myself. The rest of the money is only enough to buy some barren land in the countryside and become a farmer. Then I will marry a woman and give birth to my offspring. Then my offspring will live like this again
But Allen didn't want to be a farmer. He didn't want to live like this. Although, seven or eight years of mercenary career, tempered a lot of his previous immature ideas. However, Allen's heart, still want to become a field aristocracy, this is his dream. As a result, Allen chose to become an explorer. When he was young, he had heard and understood many stories that were recorded and handed down from mouth to mouth.
He had a vision at that time, but later he was suppressed by reality.
Now, after seven or eight years as a mercenary, Alan has already grown up. But suddenly, he wanted to become an explorer. He invited some of his friends who had been in the mercenary regiment, and they were also tired of the mercenary life. Although, to be an explorer is still inevitable to encounter danger, but compared with the mercenary, the danger that explorers have to face can be ignored. Because the probability that they will succeed in finding a relic and an unexplored place is extremely low.
As a result, the former mercenaries, who are totally tired of their current life, all agree to become explorers, although few employers can hire them to explore. But Allen and their friends wanted to try again. Thanks to his noble family background, Allen's childhood education and stories made him focus on this aspect of research and search. The ancient legends among the gods are undoubtedly more attractive. One time, from the city where he had a short rest, Allen accidentally learned that a place was hidden in a swamp, like a relic.
With great interest, Allen took his own team of explorers. After making some preparations, he crossed mountains and rivers and came to the swamp where there were suspected relics.
