My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 62 An Unexpected Improvement

The rabbit doll, carrying Una's will, expressed her curiosity.

The witch was proficient in all kinds of alchemy, and she could smell an ominous aura on Otto and Tessa as soon as she got close.

"I think it must be some kind of magical artifact made with bones as the medium."

These things carry an indescribable curse, and are very difficult to detect.

Little girl, you didn't buy your spatial pocket from me, did you?

A spatial pocket without concealment runes is no different from displaying treasures to everyone.

Just like these houses built using the Anju technique.

If I hadn't added stealth runes, no one would be able to rest in peace.

So, would you like to have a spatial pocket made here?

At this point, Una even started promoting her own business.

Clearly, Una looked down on Tessa's portable pocket, thinking it was of poor quality and that she could only make her own!

But upon hearing the curse, Otto felt something was amiss and still asked Tessa to bring out the spoils of war.

The bone that bore the mark of the axe, and a necklace engraved with the symbol of the savage god Grak.

"Ms. Una, will this thing's curse affect us in any way?"

Although Otto's animal friends didn't warn him about the curse and it shouldn't affect him, it's still safe to ask a professional.

After obtaining the bone, Una examined it for a while before giving her answer.

"The curse on these bones is more directed at those who practice this art."

Your words are just contact; at most, you'll have nightmares.

By the way, do you know which category this skill belongs to?

Una examined the bones in front of her with curiosity. She was not skilled in combat, so although she knew the general idea, she could not discern the specific details.

In response, Otto directly recounted their experience and their speculations about the bone.

Una's eyes lit up when she heard it was an axe technique.

"Hehe, you're planning to sell it to Micah, aren't you?"

Young man, how about we make a deal? Let me lend you a hand!

Una felt a burning hatred every time she thought about how Micah had tricked her with that lump of something.

After a careful examination, Una noticed something was amiss.

This thing isn't worth much money at all!

Because the core was damaged, it could only be made into a basic staff at best!

Una still remembers the loss she suffered that time!

Now that she finally has a chance to get revenge on Micah, Una certainly won't let it go.

Seeing that Una seemed to be planning to help raise the price, Otto was naturally willing to accept.

But Otto was a little confused. How did Una plan to help?

But at this point, Una decided to keep everyone in suspense, jumping off Otto's shoulder and directing the rabbit doll to hide to the side.

"You all go in first, leave the rest to me."

Seeing Una's tireless attempts to trick Micah, Otto felt that these two old enemies really deserved it!

"Alright, it's time for us to go in."

Otto breathed a sigh of relief and simply led Tessa into the barracks of the Dragonbreaker squad.

It's not hard to find here.

After Una gave him directions, Otto quickly spotted the Dragonbreaker Blade squad's insignia.

After pushing open the door and entering, Otto was surprised to find that the inside was bigger than the outside!

If the barracks looked like a small hut from the outside, then the interior was the structure of a two-story mansion!

The first floor contains a living room, storage room, and kitchen, among other facilities.

As for the second floor, Otto assumed it was where he would live.

"This is... alchemy?"

Tessa looked at the house structure in front of her with some uncertainty, but seemed to have guessed the answer.

Just as Tessa was wondering what was going on, Micah heard the noise and came out of the warehouse.

"You guessed right, I spent a little money to have Una rebuild the barracks for me."

"But a simple dwelling plan wouldn't be enough to accommodate all six of us."

Micah wanted the members of the Dragonblade squad to live together, rather than each having their own barracks.

That would be far too unfamiliar.

Micah hopes to deepen everyone's connection and bond by living together, which will also help with future adventures.

"The warehouse is ready. We can store our prey, materials, and equipment there."

Go change your clothes first.

Micah tapped Otto's armor, a satisfied look on his face.

"Good taste. This set of moon silver carved armor is indeed the most suitable for you."

Micah figured that Otto, now a superhuman, must have chosen the armor because his strength had been enhanced, so it wouldn't affect his swordsmanship.

"However, there were no matching armor pieces or swords made for this suit of armor at the time. I'll buy more Moon Silver later to see if I can put together a set."

While Micah was conducting his research, he unexpectedly discovered that Otto seemed to be wearing something on his waist.

"This is?"

Just as Micah's attention was drawn to the bone, Una had already pulled Phyllis into the barracks.

"Oh, my dear friend, how is it to stay in the barracks?"

Isn't this Otto? When did you get here?

What is this bone?

It looks like it's of very good quality. Would you like to sell it to me?

Una's rabbit doll was posed as if she had never seen Otto before.

She even brought Phyllis along to support her.

However, Oona's acting skills are simply not as good as Micah's.

That single greeting was enough for Micah to sense something was amiss.

"Enough, half-elf, your acting is terrible."

"You've never fooled me since back in the dwarf's house."

Micah chuckled, clearly having seen through Una's scheme.

He guessed that this thing should be useful to him.

Combat skills are an important tool for adventurers.

Therefore, adventurers are willing to pay high prices to buy any combat skills that are related to their area of ​​expertise. Even if they find that the skills are not useful afterward, they can still improve their understanding of these skills by studying them.

The same applies to magic.

Upon learning that it was an axe-type combat technique, Micah immediately waved his hand and produced four Golden Thorns.

As a shared trophy of Tessa and Otto, the bone was divided among them, with each receiving two Golden Thorns.

Unfortunately, Otto gave one to Una to offset the debt of one King Thorn that he had incurred when he made the spatial pocket.

As for the remaining gold Thorn, Otto had to give Micah seventy silver Thorns as compensation for the previous set of the Dreadnought Bear Leather Armor.

There's also the Moon-Imprinted Armor, for which Otto has to pay Micah at least ten copper Thorns a day as rent.

The most embarrassing thing was that Otto didn't have much money on him to begin with, and he only managed to pay after getting change from Phyllis next to him.

"After working so hard for so long, is this all the reward you've received?"

Otto sighed helplessly. Being an adventurer really is an expensive profession!

But then, an unexpected event occurred.

After the Magic-Phantom Ape devoured the mage's bloodline mark, it retrieved more knowledge about shadow elements for you.

[The black cat found this knowledge very useful, and its Shadowless Steps skill level improved continuously!]

[The skill "Shadowless Steps" has been upgraded to LV6!]

Under Otto's watchful eyes, the Magic Ape and the Black Cat joined forces and actually raised this zero-ring spell three levels!
