My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 47 The Treasure of Grack

In addition to her explanation, Phyllis also brought up some special cases.

"However, most priests who wear full armor are auxiliary in nature."

Some battle priests are more skilled with weapons. For example, one of my priests is the goddess of harvest, and her preferred weapon is the scythe.

Such a rare weapon stands out among adventurers.

After all, "the stranger the weapon, the faster you die" is an unwritten rule among adventurers.

However, if these strange weapons can be used to their fullest potential, their power should not be underestimated.

Otto perked up at Phyllis's words.

He wasn't concerned about the priests, but rather about the goddess of harvest.

Otto still remembered Lance's advice, Lance's wish to find a priest of the goddess of harvest to live in the church in Lot village.

Putting everything else aside, the people of Lot Village had been kind to Otto, raising and teaching him for over a decade, and he felt he should repay them in some way.

Since Lance refused his help, he had no choice but to do his best to fulfill Lance's request.

"Could you please introduce me to this priest?"

Otto then explained his request to the other party.

"I originally asked Eileen to help me contact the priest of the goddess of harvest, but unfortunately, it seems that Eileen has not been able to find a suitable candidate recently."

If your priestess is looking for a base of operations, could I possibly meet with her?

Otto probably didn't need the priestess to live in Lot Village all the time; he just needed her to go there occasionally to give blessings to the villagers.

After all, the villagers still appreciate the blessings of the Goddess of Harvest.

At worst, I can go find Zane and the others myself and have the old folks give Lance a good warning so he doesn't scare the priest away again.

Phyllis had no objection to this.

"I remember that priest was indeed a wandering priest, without a fixed base."

If we could provide her with a church as support and sponsorship, she would probably be very happy to agree.

But she recently went on an expedition to a demonic realm with her adventurer party, and it's unknown when she'll return.

Wandering priests are a general term used in folk religion to refer to priests who do not belong to a church.

These types of priests are often trainee priests who have come out of the church.

They made some achievements in theology, but they needed practical experience, which is why they traveled all over the world to spread the divine grace and blessings.

Many villages and lords would sponsor these wandering priests, which was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

The lord and the village can receive blessings, or even protection, from the gods.

The wandering priests can also receive some financial assistance before returning to the church headquarters, thus improving their lives.

Therefore, many wandering priests actively sign contracts with local residents.

However, Otto's heart tightened when he heard about the extraterrestrial demon realm, and his eyes were full of worry.

"You mean, they participated in the expedition?"

Otto was well aware of the dangers of the extraterrestrial realm.

After all, Micah had previously suffered a crushing defeat in the Demon Realm of the Outer Humans, where the Dragon Slayer Blade squad was almost completely wiped out.

Otto only hoped that the priest would return safely.

"What mission did that priest participate in?"

Otto asked Phyllis curiously.

But Phyllis was honestly not sure about it either.

"I wasn't the leader of that priest's adventurer party; I only heard her mention it a few times."

However, at this point, Phyllis suddenly looked around as if she were on guard, and only continued speaking after confirming that no one was paying attention to them.

"But I heard from that priest that they discovered some kind of mark and treasure, which is why they are preparing for the expedition."

At that time, I didn't know what the markings they found meant, until you brought back the Grack mark.

Upon hearing this, Otto immediately understood.

"You mean to say that the adventurer party that the priest was in found a treasure related to Grak?"

Otto sensed that things weren't going well.

After all, anything related to Grak is incredibly sinister, and this is by no means a simple adventure.

Phyllis shares the same view.

"At the time, no one in the Oak Town guild recognized that mark; everyone just thought it was a sign that some kind of lost relic was about to be discovered."

It wasn't until Eileen deciphered the truth behind the mark that we realized it was the symbol of the primal god.

But by then, that adventure team had already set off on their expedition, and we couldn't possibly warn them. Now, all we can do is pray for their safe return.

Phyllis clasped her hands together and couldn't help but pray.

Phyllis's prayer was rather comical.

She read out the names of the six gods of the kingdom, adhering to the principle of believing in whoever contributed the most.

This amusing scene made Otto unable to help but smile.

The cute little girl in front of me is so interesting.

The two chatted as they ate their dinner.

By the time the two of them had finished all the food on their plates, it was already late at night.

Seeing that it was getting late, Otto immediately decided to leave.

After saying goodbye to Phyllis, Otto walked out of the hotel.

The late autumn night was already quite chilly, and with the cold wind blowing, Otto subconsciously pulled his collar tighter before heading towards the forging workshop.

Otto had a very fruitful day.

Not only did he acquire the Black Sheep's Black Horn Charge, but he also learned the Iron Wall Breathing Technique and the corresponding basic combat skills.

However, all of these require practical verification, and Otto still hasn't grasped the key points of harmonizing the two breathing methods. He must take action quickly.

"It's so busy."

Otto let out a long sigh and looked up at the pale moon high in the sky.

It seems that after he became an adventurer, time became increasingly scarce.

However, this is actually a good thing for Otto.

The busier he is, the more resources he can obtain.

With that in mind, Otto immediately strode toward the forging workshop.

He planned to explain some things about the extraordinary flames to Micah, hoping that Micah could provide some information.

Fortunately, for Otto now, this distance is not too long.

Before long, Otto had returned to the forging workshop.

Here, Goren and Micah were already dressed and ready to go.

Upon seeing Otto return, Micah immediately waved to him.

"Kid, you're back just in time."

We need to go to the homeless hostel.

Oh, right, we also need to bring this person along.

As Micah spoke, Otto then noticed a strange middle-aged man lying at their feet.

Micah simply kicked him to get the man up, and then explained on Otto's behalf.

"He was the thief's inside man in the governor's house."
