Becoming an adventurer by copying monster abilities

Before leaving, Luke decided to go to the Church of Dawn to inform Il.

The other party had previously said they would come to see him in a couple of days, but he didn't know how long this request would take, so he didn't want the other party to leave empty-handed.

Unexpectedly, after hearing that Luca was also going to participate in the monster siege outside the city, Irene immediately decided to go with him.

Moreover, her seemingly gentle but actually very serious and burly tutor also agreed.

After all, driving out evil and saving innocent civilians is also one of the doctrines of the Church of Dawn.

Luke would naturally not refuse to have a priest with a professional rank as a companion.

After packing their bags, the two left the city through the north gate and embarked on the blocked trade route.

After showing the warrant to the guards protecting the trade route, they boarded a carriage specifically used to transport adventurers.

After the carriage was full, it began to head north.

For the first few hours, large golden wheat fields and occasional farmers could be seen on both sides of the wide trade route.

As we drove out of the direct jurisdiction of Ryan City, the surrounding scenery began to change visibly.

Especially when passing through a small village.

Large swathes of houses collapsed, and the surrounding trees were charred black by the fire.

The goblins and gnomes here unleashed their destructive and voracious appetites.

Although someone had already cleaned it up, the parched earth still carried an unyielding smell of blood.

It silently tells the story of the tragedy that once occurred here.

"Damn it! Goblins must be eradicated at any time, there's no other way!"

One of the guards traveling with him in the carriage couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"Does this happen often?"

Luke asked, "If this happens frequently, then the farmers are at too much risk."

"Of course not." The guard shook his head.

"To prevent this from happening, the lord and the Adventurers' Guild allocate a large sum of money every year to increase the bounty for goblins, in order to prevent these beasts from becoming rampant."

"So what's going on this year?"

"It's all because of that Sunset Forest thing to the north!"

An adventurer nearby chimed in, "I heard they've discovered demonic creatures over there, and the commission prices are incredibly high. Any adventurer with a bit of skill is rushing over there to make money."

Most of the powerful adventurers headed to the vicinity of Sunset Forest.

This resulted in the number of goblins and goblins around Ryan City not being contained.

This is why the monster invasion occurred, and this is a chain reaction.

Fortunately, there was a reason for everything, otherwise Luke would have felt that he was having bad luck, as accidents happened wherever he went.

The carriage stopped when it passed a checkpoint.

After verifying the adventurers' identities, the guards led them to the temporary base.

After walking for about a few kilometers, the outline of a village came into view.

Like the destroyed villages we saw earlier, most of the thatched huts and wooden buildings here have collapsed.

On the ruins, a towering wooden fence that had been rebuilt was surrounded by a deep trench.

The trenches were filled with sharpened wooden spikes, and barricades and sentry posts were everywhere.

Squads of soldiers in standard armor were patrolling back and forth.

Several large tents were temporarily erected in the center of the village.

"I thought I could pick up some bargains this time, but it looks like there's really nothing to gain!"

"Come on, you wouldn't be happy if you actually encountered a well-equipped group of goblins."

"Let's search more carefully tomorrow. Maybe there are some undiscovered goblins hiding nearby. Otherwise, we'll have made a wasted trip."

As soon as they approached the camp, they heard the noisy sounds of the adventurers inside.

The main force responsible for clearing out the monsters was quite reliable. Heading north along the trade route, they thoroughly wiped out the monsters in these villages.

Their mission as adventurers was to clean up any remaining survivors.

However, after the village was cleansed by the main force, there was no reason for any living monsters to remain there.

They would mostly flee to monster-infested areas further away, or directly escape into the endless wilderness.

Therefore, everyone was quite free for a while, and decided to go to a deeper area the next day to look for traces of the monster.

As evening fell, while the adventurers were idly chatting and boasting,

Three figures ran in from outside, their faces filled with excitement.

"Guys, we found traces of goblins at a nearby manor. Anyone want to go and make some money?"

"Judging from the traces observed, there were probably two or three goblins, plus about twenty goblins."

As the man leading the three-man squad spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the figures in the camp.

Those were the strongest fighters he knew in the camp, including some professionals.

If we can persuade these people to go with us, our safety will be greatly improved.

"If we wait until tomorrow during the day, these guys might run away! And by then, there will be many more adventurers going, and this little bit of loot won't be enough to go around!"

The team leader became more and more excited as he spoke, and he actually managed to persuade several people to decide to go together.

"Shall we go over and take a look, Mr. Luke?" Ela asked Luke.

Before setting off, she had changed out of her gray-white robe into a set of light leather armor with better protection.

Her long, golden hair was tied into a neat ponytail and swung behind her, giving her a more dashing and heroic look.

Just call me Luke.

Luke was not swayed by the group and continued roasting jerky by the campfire, saying, "It's not safe to travel at night."

The other adventurers in the camp basically shared the same thoughts as Luca.

Both goblins and gnomes possess darkvision, and the night is their natural domain.

Entering an unfamiliar environment without warning can easily lead to being ambushed.

Even if Luca was confident that the goblin was no match for him, the benefits were clearly disproportionate to the risks.

He didn't need to risk going there just to get a few gold coins.

In the end, the team consisted of seven people who went together.

The other adventurers stayed at the camp to rest.

A dwarf carrying a warhammer almost as tall as himself ate his dry rations, making no attempt to hide his contempt for the group:

"A bunch of money-grubbing idiots; these kinds of people will die in their adventures sooner or later..."

Unexpectedly, the dwarf's words came true.

The team did not return until the next morning.

No one would believe that they had made enough money and simply disappeared after killing the goblins and monsters.

Clearly, the manor was not as simple as they had initially discovered.

But this also piqued the interest of the remaining adventurers, who had come here specifically to hunt down monsters.

Although those people were reckless, they were still quite capable.

If it's just dealing with two or three goblins and a small group of goblins, it shouldn't be so bad that you can't even escape back.

The camp's captain of guards began organizing his men to prepare for a raid on the manor.

This time, more adventurers chose to join, including Luca and Ill.
