My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 33 Reflection in the Pupil

Micah was very interested in this ancient artifact.

After distributing the rewards, Otto was given a silver Thorn, and finally he obtained the ancient relic.

As for Eileen, she simply explained it to Otto from the side.

"Although ancient relics like these, which have no practical combat value, are not usually valued at very high prices."

However, the advantage of this cubic water bottle lies in its completeness and its ability to help adventurers compress supply volume, which makes the estimated price somewhat inflated.

Eileen has appraised many ancient artifacts, so she naturally wouldn't give a price arbitrarily.

Two silver Thorns is a reasonable valuation for this ancient artifact.

But besides that, Eileen had some things to explain to Otto.

"Now that your adventure has come to an end, it's time to start your studies."

Knowledge will never let you down.

Upon hearing this, Otto simply nodded, indicating that he was ready to begin at any time.

But before that, he had some things to talk to Micah about.

After saying that, Otto and Micah immediately left the office and went to a secluded corner.

Taking this opportunity, Otto immediately relayed Una's words to Micah.

"She told you to prepare King Thorn and your team; the ancient artifact you're looking for has been located."

Otto wanted to confirm his theory that, if he wasn't mistaken, Micah's eagerness to find suitable personnel was for this ancient artifact.

Sure enough, Micah's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It's like a treasure hunter who has wandered through a maze for years and finally found his way.

Seeing this, Otto thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

He immediately intended to ask Micah about the ancient artifact.

But Micah just shook his head.

"Let's talk about this after you've finished upgrading the logs."

If you can't even pass the adventurer's initial test, then this is just a story for you.

Micah declined Otto's request and immediately ended the conversation.

However, during this lull, Micah was curious about how Otto planned to use these deposits.

"For a log-level adventurer, three gold Thorns are a huge sum of money."

I advise you not to hoard them; the right choice is to cash them out and improve yourself as soon as possible.

Micah tried his best to impart his experience to Otto.

Many adventurers, after acquiring coins, either squander them or carefully save them, but such choices are sometimes not the right ones.

Adventurers are a profession that requires strength and equipment. New players need to spend money everywhere; you can't do without investing some resources.

Otto shared this view.

"I want to make a pocket."

For adventurers, a pocket is truly a powerful tool.

Otto figured he was still financially secure and needed to get the creation of the spatial pocket done as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Otto immediately took out the core of the strange vine, the lump of which he had torn out.

"I have three Gold Thorns. I wonder if adding this one will allow me to use it as an advance payment so that Una can make me a spatial pocket."

Otto wasn't sure of the lump's value, so he asked Micah for help.

Upon seeing this, Micah immediately accepted the lump.

"I'll be working with Phyllis on the adventure report for the Dragonbreaker Squad later, so let her help you with your assessment while we're at it."

That strange vine must be a newly appeared individual; the value of the materials it left behind needs to be carefully assessed.

Only after Micah's explanation did Otto realize that Phyllis was a material evaluator.

Micah's next task is to confirm the rating of the new monster and the value of the materials with her, so I'll ask Otto on her behalf.

The two then divided the work among themselves.

Micah was put in charge of handling the squad's daily tasks.

As for Otto, he went with Eileen to attend the Adventurers' Guild's courses.

After saying goodbye to Micah, Otto immediately returned to his office.

"Alright, we can begin the lesson now."

……

In the dimly lit room, a wounded man, his entire body wrapped in bandages, lay on the bed.

Joel sat silently in his chair, looking at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression.

During this adventure, the Flower Fairy's Wings were severely damaged.

Joel's dominant arm suffered a severe injury, and according to doctors, it will not fully recover in the short term.

As for Florian, although his body did not suffer any irreparable damage, his spirit was already riddled with holes.

Florian retired after leaving his original wooden sign to Joel.

"I'm sorry, Sabrina, I couldn't keep Florian."

The girl in front of him was Joel's last teammate, and the scout they had desperately covered for their escape back to Oak Town that day.

Thanks to Sabrina's plea for help and Joel's assistance, they were able to be rescued.

But for some reason, Sabrina, whose body was almost unharmed, fell into a coma and has not woken up since.

As a result, the Flower Fairy Wings Squad is now defunct in name only.

Joel is ready to cancel the squad's name.

"Sabrina, my sister left me some King Thorn."

I plan to open a small shop in town. Don't worry, I'll always be there for you.

Joel has no intention of abandoning his teammates. Even if he can't take the risks right now, he has to ensure the girl in front of him can afford the medical treatment.

But whether it was Joel's genuine emotion that triggered a miracle or not, the girl lying on the hospital bed slowly opened her eyes.

Joel, who was standing nearby, excitedly rushed to call the doctor over, intending to examine Sabrina.

But the moment Joel turned around, a strange glimmer appeared in Sabrina's eyes.

There were even signs of some strange thing wriggling!

But Sabrina didn't care at all.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her pupils reflecting a pale figure.

……

On the second floor of the Adventurers' Guild, in an empty meeting room, Otto listened to Eileen's lecture with a bored expression.

This is a knowledge lesson. Eileen plans to teach these promising novice adventurers about the kingdom's language and etiquette, as well as some essential knowledge.

"The people here are all Log-level adventurers selected by the Oak Town outpost of the Adventurers' Guild."

In the future, I will inevitably come into contact with various commissioners and high-society figures.

If you don't understand written language, it's easy to fall into a contractual trap.

The same applies to etiquette; an impolite adventurer would find it difficult to gain the trust of nobles and merchants.

Eileen patiently taught the adventurers before her.

She didn't want these adventurers to leave Oak Town still illiterate.

However, as a priestess, the first thing Eileen would naturally teach them was knowledge related to the gods.

"Today, I will teach you the knowledge of Entana, the goddess of disease and plague."

He is the deity you are most likely to encounter during your adventures.

Similarly, he is one of the six gods of the kingdom.
