Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

Chapter 119 Rest and Recuperation After Returning to the City

The boisterous revelry continued until late into the night.

To take care of the wounded, the team rested for another day in Youtai Village.

Saide's condition has recovered fairly well.

The powerful effects of the healing potion have restored much of his energy.

However, his frail body will require a considerable amount of time to recover.

Fortunately, he is now able to walk on his own, albeit with some difficulty.

In contrast, the wanderer Latour of the Undying Greatsword Squad fared much worse.

Although Lena also generously fed him a lot of expensive treatment potions.

But Luke was quite ruthless in order to prevent him from having any more strength to act.

For purely physical comminuted fractures, ordinary medical medications alone cannot quickly heal the dislocated bones.

For the next few days, he could only be carried on the shoulders of the orc Akash.

To recover quickly and without leaving any hidden dangers, he will need to go to the church to find a priest to help him cast a few divine spells for healing after returning to Ryan City.

After confirming that both injured individuals were physically fit enough to endure the long journey.

The luxurious carriage that Lena had hired finally set off on its return journey along the trade route, amidst the cheers of the villagers lining the streets.

Although Youtai Village is geographically remote, it is not a truly impoverished backwater.

Chamber of Commerce convoys frequently travel along this wide trade route nearby.

The journey back was smooth, and there were no unusual situations encountered.

In less than two days, the carriage arrived at its destination.

After undergoing a routine check by the guards at the city gate, the carriage slowly drove into the city.

Lena and the others need to go to the Adventurers' Guild to submit the case report of the commissioned mission and confirm the completion of the investigation.

As an investigative task, they have far exceeded expectations, and the reward they will receive is expected to be very generous.

At the same time, they also had to get Latour to the church temple for treatment as soon as possible.

As for Luke, he decided to see things through to the end and prepared to take Said home first.

Although Saide remained very quiet and reserved throughout the journey.

He didn't make any requests, fearing that his burden would cause trouble for Luke.

But Luke still caught the longing in his eyes for home.

I originally wanted to take him to check his injuries first, to see if there were any hidden injuries or potential problems.

But thinking there shouldn't be any fatal injuries, they decided to let the long-separated couple reunite first.

The team and Luke are temporarily separated.

Before parting, Lena specifically asked Luca for his address.

After learning that the other party had no residence, he told Luke their team's address and said that he would distribute the rewards after all the payments were settled.

Luke did not refuse.

This team seems to have no problems with either their strength or their character.

Only through reasonable resource allocation can such employment relationships, which offer the opportunity for future collaborations, become more robust.

The saying "more friends, more paths" applies everywhere.

After saying goodbye to Lena and her group, Luca, with the eager guidance of Seidna, helped him hire a short car in town and return to his residence.

The couple rented a small house in a relatively nice residential area in the north of the city.

Although it wasn't big, it was decorated very warmly.

When Lily saw Syd and Luke standing side by side at the door, she could no longer control her emotions after worrying for days.

Saide was the same; the two of them burst into tears, embraced each other, and cried loudly.

After a while, the couple finally calmed down.

Lily wiped away her tears, walked quickly back to her bedroom, and pulled out a heavy linen purse.

Luke naturally refused the money pouch that Lily offered as a reward.

"You've already paid the fee."

"Did you give it to me?"

Lily looked at Said with a puzzled expression, and he shook his head at her.

"It's that bag of local specialties from your hometown, it's quite delicious."

Luke was referring to the gift the couple gave him before they parted ways when they first met.

Upon hearing this unexpected answer, Lily was taken aback at first, and then her eyes welled up with tears again.

"Then you must try Lily's cooking later. Those local specialties were all made by her back home beforehand."

Sed stroked Lily's head, insisting that Luke stay for dinner.

Unable to refuse their hospitality, and with nothing else to do, Luke agreed to stay.

Saïd is right, Lily's cooking skills are indeed excellent.

After a while, the small dining table was filled with a sumptuous meal.

Whether it's the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pan-fried pork chops or the rich soup made with vegetables and cured meat, both are delicious and visually appealing.

Although they are all common, ordinary ingredients, after her seasoning and cooking, the taste is comparable to that of most restaurants.

Luke even seriously suggested that if Syd didn't plan to continue as an alchemy apprentice, opening a restaurant with Lily would be a good option.

And that's exactly what Saide was thinking.

He was actually never happy in his job as an alchemy apprentice.

This life-threatening experience made him rethink the meaning of life.

"As long as I can be with Lily, I don't care about anything else in the future."

Watching the couple whispering sweet nothings to each other, Luca, sitting opposite them, couldn't help but ponder his own future.

Before he traveled through time, he had a romantic relationship during his university years.

However, as graduation approached, we parted ways due to different plans for the future.

However, the sense of crisis he felt after transmigrating to this world and merging with the memories of this life made him completely put such matters out of his mind.

After letting his mind wander for a while, Luke didn't take it to heart.

It's best to leave these things to fate.

After the meal, Luke voluntarily got up to say goodbye and leave.

I will no longer disturb this couple who are about to become entangled in each other's company.

Judging from how weak Saide looks, I don't know if he can hold on.

Lena's mission completion probably won't be quick, Luca plans to check again tomorrow.

Since there was still some time before dusk, Luke decided to go to the blacksmith's shop first.

His newly acquired gear, which he had only recently put on, had already shown considerable wear and tear after all this time.

Several obvious scratches and dents have been left on the originally cold and smooth gray-black plate armor.

Those were marks left when it was hit by the dragon's tail.

The journey was so rushed that Luke only now has time to find someone to make the repairs.

The broadsword on the back also needs to be polished and maintained.

Although it was a magical weapon with the [Reinforced] attribute, it still couldn't withstand Luca's relentless, full-force slashes.

If it's not carefully maintained, it might turn into a jagged shape.

Luke walked along the street for a while and stopped in a relatively bustling area.

In front of him was a blacksmith shop called "Good Brothers".

The name gave him a familiar feeling, reminding him of "Good Buddy Blacksmith Shop" in Twilight Town.

Is this considered a blacksmith chain brand that spans geographical regions?

Thinking of this, he lifted his leg and stepped inside.
