My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 10 The Spiritual Eye of the Lamp and the Invitation

With the help of the black sheep, Otto gained a preliminary understanding of his current state and the truth behind what happened last night.

Clearly, the black-robed figure I saw last night was a manifestation of a goddess.

"The Eye of Light and Fire, want to give it a try?"

Otto plans to take care of some trivial matters today and doesn't need to accept any commissioned adventures, so he can test the effects and duration of the Eye of Light.

After silently reciting Felicity's name in his heart, he felt a tingling sensation between his eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, my eyes seemed to be under some kind of slight pressure.

But when Otto opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that nothing seemed to have changed.

"Did the blessing attempt fail?"

Otto wasn't annoyed.

He's not a priest, so it's normal for his first attempt to not go smoothly.

Thinking of this, Otto immediately planned to take out the two King Thorn coins hidden in his chest and put them back into his duffel bag.

But as Otto fumbled around, his movements became increasingly impatient.

A hint of anxiety appeared on his previously calm face.

"Where's my money?!"

Otto, trembling, took off all his clothes to check, but he couldn't find even a trace of King Thorne!

"Could there be thieves?"

Upon realizing this, Otto immediately decided to go and inform Eileen of the matter.

That's King Thorne!

But just as Otto was getting dressed and ready to grab his luggage to go find Eileen, he noticed something was wrong.

My luggage bag was enveloped in a faint, bluish mist.

Otto touched it instinctively, but he didn't feel anything real.

"Is this the effect of the Lamplight Eye?"

Otto was on the verge of tears.

The goddess blessed him, but she didn't provide instructions on how to use it!

How did Otto know what these blue mists represented?

"King Sol is still more important!"

Otto didn't have time to carefully study what the fog meant, and immediately rushed downstairs.

As a result, he almost fainted after entering the Adventurers' Guild Hall!

The hall was filled with mist in four colors: red, blue, black, and white.

The massive fog overwhelmed Otto's spirit.

Crimson blood gushed from his nasal cavity, as if releasing some kind of pressure.

Seeing this, Eileen quickly took Otto to the reception room and brought him some tissues to treat his nosebleed.

Otto's condition only improved after he entered the house.

Eileen, standing to the side, found it rather strange. What was wrong with this kid today?

But Otto ignored the condition of his nose and immediately told Eileen about losing King Thorn.

But to everyone's surprise, Eileen categorically denied Otto's idea.

"No one can steal anything while I'm staying at the Adventurers' Guild."

Just as Otto was wondering why Eileen was so certain, her next words cleared up his confusion.

"I am a priest of the God of Law and Judgment, and I have received the blessing of the god Callum."

The law will not let any illegal acts around me go unpunished.

Seeing this rare opportunity, Eileen immediately began to explain to Otto.

"In fact, the temples of the six great gods of the kingdom will send priests to each adventurer's guild's stronghold on a rotating basis."

Otherwise, how do you think a group of young girls could intimidate those barbarians?

The previous priest sent here was the goddess of lights.

I heard that he was attacked by bandits during his term and unfortunately died, which is why I took office ahead of schedule.

Eileen was in a bad mood all day because of this, after all, this was considered overtime work!

As Eileen recounted her story, Otto felt more confident and immediately told her about his experience the previous night.

But to everyone's surprise, Eileen couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing Otto's words.

"Your Golden Thorn didn't just disappear, it was clearly sacrificed by the goddess!"

Eileen explained it simply to Otto.

Felicity, the goddess of light, is also the lamplighter of the River Styx and a guide for the lost.

How could accepting guidance not come at a price?

Eileen stroked her chin, carefully examining Otto.

"It is said that the goddess Felicity's blessing is very magical; the more precious the coin taken away, the more types of mist one will see."

The black mist that represents the path of chaos.

The white mist that represents the path of order.

The red fog symbolizes misfortune and danger.

The blue mist symbolizes good luck and help.

I remember that the High Priest of the Goddess of Light, like you, had two Golden Thorns taken from him. In return, he could see three kinds of mist besides the blue mist.

Eileen patted Otto on the shoulder, a look of relief on her face.

"Blessing is a bonus, and I imagine that this will attract even more adventurer teams to join our party."

I'll register you later.

As Eileen spoke, she began searching for the registration form.

It's important to know that spells, blessings, and specialties are all important indicators for evaluating adventurers.

The more abilities Otto can demonstrate, the higher his evaluation as an adventurer will be.

Of course, as Otto's guild guide, Eileen would receive even more commission.

Incidentally, Eileen also gave Otto a brief explanation of the so-called path.

"The great power of the mortal world has forged the path to the extraordinary, which is broadly divided into the path of chaos and the path of order. If you are interested in an extraordinary profession, you will eventually embark on one of these paths."

However, compared to their current clueless path to the extraordinary, Otto and his "animal friends" are even more puzzled by the current situation.

Why can I see all kinds of fog?

Otto felt that something was off about this blessing.

Thinking of the previous priest of the Light stationed here who was attacked and killed, Otto felt that this blessing was somewhat heavy.

With that in mind, Otto only reported the three types of fog, excluding the blue fog.

This will also help prevent some people with ulterior motives from coveting it.

Just as Eileen was registering Otto, Otto decided to go out for a walk and continue to hone his Lamplight Eyes.

Otto hopes to test as soon as possible the maximum duration that the Eye of Light can maintain after it is activated.

This will also make future adventures easier.

But unsurprisingly, the moment Otto stepped out, the four colors of mist rushed over again.

Otto barely managed to steady himself.

He knew this was a necessary step.

He spent a full two Golden Thorns to obtain this blessing.

He'd already spent the money, so he had to put up with the goddess's 'temperament' no matter what!

Thinking of this, Otto immediately went to the bar area in the corner of the hall, found a table and sat down to avoid the discomfort caused by severe dizziness.

But just then, the big guy who had fought with Otto yesterday walked over with two glasses of ale.

"Hey kid, wanna chat?"

The big guy was about to say something, but before he could speak, a tremendous force came from beside him.

He kicked the big guy aside.

"Get out of the way, I was here first."

Micah didn't care about the big guy's reaction; he simply snatched the two glasses of ale from his hands and placed them in front of Otto.

He looked directly into Otto's eyes and gave him a wide, uninhibited smile.

"Young man, are you interested in joining my adventurer's party?"
