My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 18 The Barbarian God Grak

As Micah continued to mutter, Otto gradually understood the relationship between the two.

It turns out that Phyllis's grandfather was the person in charge of Micah back then.

In terms of their relationship, it's similar to that of Eileen and Otto.

Later, Micah formed an adventurer's party, and the party's guild contact person was also Micah.

Over the years, the two have become old acquaintances.

Therefore, after the old man stopped taking on the adventurers' affairs, he immediately had his granddaughter take over.

Otto thought that Phyllis's grandfather probably told her that on purpose.

After all, the two had known each other for so many years, it was impossible for the other not to know about the age of dwarves.

I'm afraid it was just a prank.

After all, what could Micah do with such a cute little girl?

While Otto was pondering this, Phyllis had already brought up the payment.

As agreed, Otto took thirty-six bronze Thorns, while Micah took twelve.

Besides that, Micah also handed the signs to Phyllis and asked her to call Eileen over.

"We've recently discovered something unusual."

Micah thought it was now necessary for them to talk to Eileen about these strange totems.

Upon hearing this, Phyllis quickly picked up a sign and headed to the corner office.

Normally, Eileen actually spends more time in her own office.

They only come to the counter to handle business when they're in a bad mood and want to practice on adventurers.

Not long after, Phyllis came out of the office again and waved to the two of them.

"Grandpa Micah, Ms. Erin wants you to come in."

Phyllis's bewildered words were met with bursts of laughter from within the Adventurers' Guild.

Otto could almost hear Micah grinding his teeth.

"Damn Victor, I'll settle this score with you later!"

Micah let out a long sigh and glared fiercely at his surroundings.

"What's so funny?"

"Next time you make equipment and props with lock cylinders, watch out, I'll raise the price dramatically!"

After making a bold statement, Micah immediately led Otto into the office.

Here, Eileen is caressing the goblin sign in her hand.

When she saw the two enter the house, she just sighed.

"According to my investigation, this is the symbol of the primal god Grak."

When Eileen was taking in the boy's remains, the boy asked her to investigate the meaning of the sign.

Upon seeing the sign again, Eileen immediately shared some of the information she had gathered.

Before the adventurers could respond, Phyllis, standing to the side, asked curiously.

"Glak?"

I've never heard of this deity's name or story before.

Phyllis is a native of the area.

I usually enjoy listening to stories, but I've never heard of the name Grak before.

Eileen simply nodded in response.

"It's normal that the inhabitants of the North haven't heard of Grak."

According to my research, the story of this primal god was originally only passed down in the distant southern border, through the ditties of bards.

This is the first time I've ever heard the name Grak.

Especially in a pioneering area like this.

Eileen is not only a priestess, but has also traveled to many places on business, and is very familiar with the customs of various places.

That's why she sensed that something was wrong with the situation.

Thinking of this, Eileen immediately began to share information about Grak.

"According to my investigation, Grac is known as the Light Thief, the Laughing Starfire."

Legend has it that He blesses the greedy, and even demons.

Grac will not be stingy with his knowledge, provided that enough offerings are made.

As for why the barbarian symbols of the South appear in the northern frontier, to be honest, I haven't investigated that clearly yet.

After all, there are no records of Grac even within the Sanctuary of Law.

I only learned of this legend after contacting a familiar bard.

Eileen said she needed more time to investigate.

Seeing this, Micah wasn't in a hurry; he simply asked the other party to choose another commission for them.

"New adventurers need to accumulate experience."

Micah is a very competent mentor.

He knew Otto had good potential; all he lacked was experience.

Therefore, they immediately decided to continue looking for small commissions for him.

Eileen wasn't particularly surprised when she heard Micah's request.

She was just flipping through the commissions Otto could accept, muttering to herself.

"Remember to come back for class in a while."

Eileen reminded Otto that his class was coming soon.

Seeing this, Otto simply nodded.

Although I don't know what the Adventurers' Guild's courses will teach, accumulating knowledge is always useful.

While the group was chatting, Eileen had already found several commissions and presented them to the two of them.

Among them are investigation and exploration commissions, hunting commissions, finding and retrieving commissions, and gathering commissions that Otto is familiar with.

Clearly, with Otto joining the Dragonbreaker team, he can now accept a wider variety of commissions.

Meanwhile, Micah simply reminded Otto to try to choose different types of commissions so that he could gain more experience in adventurer work.

Upon seeing this, Otto immediately chose the exploration-type commission.

Of course, Otto would never admit that he chose this commission because it offered the highest price.

Otto figured his Eye of Light would come in handy.

After Otto chose his commission, Eileen immediately registered him.

"Your client is Sam, the winery owner."

The location is a winery near Oaktown.

According to him, it seems that a demon has broken into his winery.

They damaged the walls and even stole some drinks, leaving only some sticky residue on the ground.

Sam hopes the adventurers can find the monsters and get rid of them as soon as possible, as they've been stealing wine these days.

As for the reward, it was twenty copper Thorns and a barrel of mead produced by the winery.

Regarding monsters, the guild will calculate the price based on market value. If there are any useful materials, the guild will also purchase them.

Eileen briefly explained the contents of the commission to Otto.

Meanwhile, Micah stroked his beard and started imagining what would happen after he received his reward.

"The money is yours, and you can take the mead back to the workshop."

Sam's brewing skills are good, and the quality of the beer is acceptable.

Now we can have a proper drink.

Because he was short of money lately, Micah had been drinking cheap ale provided by the Adventurers' Guild.

This was extremely painful for a dwarf.

Although he promised his teammates that he would not buy those good wines again, if the wine was given to him by someone else, then that promise was no longer valid!

"Let's go, let's go! It just so happens that Una lives near the winery. We can also ask her to make alchemical tools while we're at it. It's killing two birds with one stone."
