My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 46 Midnight Date

As for Otto, he didn't say much, just ate his dinner slowly.

Dinner was simple; Lillian prepared a large plate of stir-fried noodles for Otto, along with seven or eight steaks—clearly a very hearty dinner.

But this made Otto feel a little embarrassed, as he wasn't sure he could finish the portion.

But Phyllis, standing to the side, said with a cheerful smile.

"What's wrong, Mr. Otto?"

Judging from your expression, are you unhappy on our date?

Phyllis joked with Otto without any restraint.

Since Otto was certified by Micah as a member of the Dragon Slayer team, then he was also his partner.

However, one of them was responsible for adventuring outside, while the other was responsible for logistics within the guild.

In a sense, Phyllis can also be considered a member of the Dragon Slayer squad.

But Otto didn't say anything more when he heard this. He just told her to quickly pick up her knife and fork and finish the fried noodles and steak in front of her with him.

"It won't taste good when it gets cold."

Otto savored Lillian's cooking, and he had to admit that the innkeeper's skills were indeed excellent. With just simple seasoning, she had greatly satisfied Otto's taste buds.

As for Phyllis, she was used to it; apparently, Lillian often cooked for the little girl.

"That's one of the reasons I chose to work here."

Phyllis ate the steak with gusto and said with relish.

"Not only do I get paid, but they also provide food and accommodation, which saves me a lot of money."

At this point, Phyllis even mentioned Eileen.

"I really hope that one day I can be like Ms. Eileen, a woman who doesn't feel bad about spending money."

Otto was somewhat surprised by these words, it seemed that Eileen was somewhat special even within the Adventurers' Guild.

Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Otto simply asked Phyllis about Eileen.

But Phyllis didn't actually know much about it either.

But she took the opportunity to tell a story about Eileen.

"You might not believe it, but just yesterday, a terrifying guy came to the guild."

She was dressed in heavy armor and held a hammer and staff in her hand.

The man's hammer was covered in foul-smelling blood and bits of meat.

The moment she stepped inside, a terrifying aura filled the entire guild space, causing many of her colleagues to freeze in their tracks.

"But that guy was actually Eileen's junior, and Eileen didn't seem surprised at all by her appearance."

I'm really curious, what kind of hell did Ms. Eileen go through in the past?

Phyllis's team members were mostly newcomers, just like her, and therefore had never seen such a horrific scene.

Their supervisor, Eileen, was already used to it, which made Phyllis admire Eileen once again.

"No wonder he's a foreman who earns more than us; he's got guts."

As a high priestess dispatched abroad, Eileen's salary was far higher than Phyllis's.

This made the young girl, who was earning a meager salary, very envious. So she would mention it from time to time and listed Eileen as her goal, determined to surpass Eileen, at least in terms of salary.

Otto wasn't particularly surprised by Phyllis's story.

"I saw someone similar yesterday."

Otto laughed as he told Phyllis about his first encounter with Goren.

At the time, Goren's terrifying figure and the bloodstains all over his body made him very wary.

However, after spending time with him, Otto found Goren to be a nice person.

As for the heavily armored guy that Phyllis encountered, Otto also had some clues about him.

"I think she is Tessa."

Otto had never met Tessa, but according to Goren's description, she was Erin's junior.

He said.

"Shouldn't the High Priest's successor also be a priest?"

Why is he wearing full armor and carrying a hammer and staff?

Otto had also met the priest.

Their village has a church where priests of the goddess of harvest once resided.

The other party was a kind-faced old woman who often wore a black robe and preached to them.

However, Otto didn't care much about the content of the sermons; he only cared about the two eggs the old woman gave them every day after the sermons.

After all, this is a good opportunity to replenish nutrients.

By then, Otto had fully recovered his past memories and began to work towards his bloodline imprint.

Every bit of attribute improvement requires hard work and a lot of nutrients, so the two eggs the old woman gave him every day became a daily must-do for Otto.

However, this kind of life did not last long.

A few days later, the old woman left Lot Village, supposedly after having a big argument with Lance.

Although Lance publicly stated that the old woman believed Lot Village was too impoverished and lacked offerings to the gods, Zane privately told Otto that the old woman likely left because Lance had spied on her while she was bathing.

However, when the old woman left, she also took an orphan from Lot village with her.

Like Otto, who was the same age, the girl's parents died unexpectedly during an adventure.

This situation is not uncommon in Lot Village; most of Otto's old friends in the village came from similar backgrounds.

Thinking about this, Otto felt a pang of sadness.

Because he needed to accumulate bloodline imprints and attribute values, he became the last orphan to leave the village, and he wondered how the others were doing now.

Putting everything else aside, that girl from the same village who became a priest is probably traveling around in thick armor, just like Tessa.

Just as Otto was pondering this, Phyllis answered his question about the priest.

"In fact, many combat priests or clergymen choose full armor as their equipment. Their primary duty is not to kill enemies, but to protect themselves."

Hearing this, Otto became interested and hoped that Phyllis would tell him more about it.

Seeing this, Phyllis didn't stand on ceremony and simply explained to Otto.

"There are many priests who are skilled in healing and assistance, as well as purification and exorcism, etc."

These combat skills, spells, and even blessings all require a certain amount of time to be cast.

Therefore, if priests join an adventurer's party, the first thing they must do is save their lives.

After all, you can only contribute if you're alive, right?

With Phyllis's explanation, Otto gradually understood.

It seems that many priests join adventurer parties to hone their skills, which is related to the oracle of the six gods of the kingdom.

It is said that more than one church received similar divine pronouncements, in which the gods wished that the priests would walk the earth with their faith.

Joining an adventurer's party allows one to perfectly fulfill this divine decree and hone their skills in actual combat, making adventurers the top choice for many priests.

Phyllis has more than one priest active in Oak Town.
