As it did I put the magic scroll back in my item box and slowly stood up. As I did I slowly stood up and stretched my aching body as I heard cracks and pops.
I then watched most of the wounds on my body slowly close up as most turned into faint red marks.
It was weird seeing my flesh grow back so fast but I didn't mind as I looked at the larger ones which turned into thin scratches as I sighed.
Thankfully none of them went more than more than one fourth an inch deep.
"Everything seems okay but I will need more time to heal." I said to myself as I stretched and slowly started to gather my loot that I had neglected to pick up.
As I did pick up all the items that Gaia sometimes had to point me towards I was left with this loot.
All in all most of it seemed useless but I guess they had to be useful since I got a sale price on it.
In total these were the items I got.

Sell Price: 2 Silver
As I finished gathering all my loot including the random copper coins some of the monsters had dropped I now had 10 silver and 892 copper coins.
I didn't know how much this was in this world but I had a good guess based on some goods I had seen Trista buy.
Still I needed more information if I was going to do anything in this world. Being forced to fight for 6 years kind of puts a damper on your knowledge of this world and just about everything else.
I had the basic info from Trista but nothing more than simple things like some nearby towns and stuff let alone drop items.
I was more or less a blank sheet of paper looking for information to be given to me.
Gaia was of some help but she had been acting weird latterly so I stopped asking her questions unless absolutely necessary.
Plus I wasn't up for a 3 hour explanation on money.
After taking a look at my inventory full of bones, claws, and green goo and drake scales and claws as well as a few other things from the drake and herbs I had gathered.
But I now had 25 stacks of 55 of random stuff I could still put in my storage. Happy that I had so much room left even after picking up so much useless loot I started on my way to the city.
Also a new piece of information: the city near Gullion dungeon just happened to be the capital of this place called the grass plains.
This capital also happened to be the largest city complete with several other smaller cities surrounding it.
After walking for about 4 hours I started to finally start to feel the effects of last night on my body.
Thankfully I had found a road and had to rest on the side of as my muscles started to cramp. I took out a chunk of the drake's back leg and started to eat part of it.
'So which one do we visit first? I feel that if we visit a smaller city first then it would be better.' I said to Gaia. As I took a bit of the leg.
'Indeed you could use it to gather information, it's not like you have Wikipedia like a source with your or anything.' She said with sass as I smiled.
'You humor me. Also I bet if you asked you a question you would just say something along the lines of I am not powerful enough or I should just wait and I should figure it out myself. Some sort of Wikipedia you are.' I mumbled the last part but I heard an angry humph from her.
'I am just making it so you actually have to seek out knowledge for yourself. It would be detrimental to tell you everything at once, simply too much stuff to focus on at once.' She said.
'Well I am following my plan and visiting one of the smaller cities first, gathering some info and then heading into the capital and then visiting the Guild.' I said.
'Fine with me.' Gaia said in a grumpy tone.
'Good now I think I should take a small nap, good thing I picked up [Warriors Nap] because I need to rain some STR.' I said in my head as I put back the quarter finished back leg as I looked around me as I found a secluded spot as I slowly sat down with my back to the tree.
But just as I was about to get comfortable and close my eyes I heard sounds in the distance, I only sighed to myself as I looked towards the sound as I pulled out my sword.
'Wait a moment.' Said Gaia as I stopped as I was about to leave the brush surrounding me.
'What is it?' I asked her.
'I sense a large mana source in that direction…it isn't human but it isn't a monster either. I guess it must be a high level adventure of a different species.' She said as I thought for a second.
'Bandits?' I asked her.
'No…they have much higher mana levels than any bandits would. I am guessing it is a caravan of witches or wizards.' She said as I raised an eyebrow.
'What is their average level and age?' I asked her.
