My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 45 An Unexpected Part-Time Job

Lillian also took the opportunity to explain to Otto the knowledge about the extraterrestrial realm.

The "Demon Realm Beyond Humanity" is a name used to describe a region that is distinct from the human realm, such as the Kingdom of Thorne.

It was a place rarely visited by humans, teeming with monsters, and even a paradise for the followers of evil gods.

Before almost every large-scale expedition, the Adventurers' Guild would organize a grand expedition together with the knights of the human kingdoms to clear out these monsters, all in order to buy time for the expedition.

Even so, progress was incredibly slow.

Otto had also heard Lance say that the last grand expedition was nothing more than clearing out many monsters and then developing a few villages nearby, and Lot Village was one of them.

Lance also retired around that time.

Just as Otto was pondering this, Lillian had already lowered her shield.

She patiently gave Otto instructions.

"The Dragonbreaker is a great team. As long as you're willing to join, Micah will always be a trustworthy partner for you."

If a suitable exceptional career is available, he would be happy to help you find a way to get one.

Take myself as an example. I was able to get a job during one of my adventures thanks to Micah's help.

After listening to Lillian's words, Otto did indeed have some thoughts in his mind.

As Lillian said, Otto's Iron Guard is a supernatural profession with a rather complicated initiation ceremony.

Otto not only needs an item that can withstand fire, but also needs to be enveloped in some kind of extraordinary flame and remain alive in order to advance.

Putting aside the items that could withstand the flames, Otto had no idea how to deal with the extraordinary flames themselves.

As a novice adventurer, he had very few sources of information, so perhaps Micah could help him.

This was undoubtedly a risky step, but seeing that Lillian and Goren had both become true superhumans with Micah's help, Otto decided to take the risk.

As adventurers, how could they possibly live in a safe haven forever?

With this in mind, Otto tightened his grip and trained even harder.

Fortunately, Otto's intelligence was greatly enhanced by the Mystic Ape, far surpassing that of ordinary people, and even surpassing that of some extraordinary professionals.

It was only just after nightfall that Otto had already mastered the basic techniques of blocking and shield bashing. The remaining task was to find a balance and harmony between the Iron Wall Breathing Technique and the Azure Moon Breathing Technique within his body.

According to Lillian, there is no shortcut to this step; Otto can only try it out himself in actual combat.

"Alright, that's enough training for today."

How about staying for dinner?

My cooking skills are pretty good.

The inn employed a cook and several staff members, but Lillian still wanted to cook dinner for Otto herself.

Lillian actually really enjoys cooking.

As Lillian spoke, she led Otto out of the backyard and to the front desk.

"Actually, if I hadn't become an adventurer, I might have become a chef."

Clearly, Lillian was in a much better mood during shield training with Otto, and even started joking with him.

But when Lillian saw Goren sitting at the front desk, her expression turned cold again.

She immediately went over and kicked over the chair Goren was sitting in.

"Get out! Didn't you hear me?"

That indifferent tone made it sound as if he were shooing away a homeless person.

Goren originally stayed here partly to wait for Otto to come out, and partly to apologize to Lillian and try to persuade her to stay.

Unfortunately, judging from Lillian's current expression, I'm afraid I don't have much of a chance for the time being.

Seeing this, Goren simply told Otto to remember to come back early and then left the inn.

As for Otto, he was just like everyone else in the hotel, intimidated by Lillian's aura. He carefully found a corner to sit down and prepared to wait for his dinner.

Just then, a familiar voice appeared behind Otto.

"Honestly, Mr. Goren hasn't considered Sister Lillian's feelings at all."

Otto naturally remembered that the voice belonged to Phyllis.

He turned his head in confusion, about to ask Phyllis why she was there, but instead saw a strange scene.

Phyllis had already changed into a hotel uniform.

The bright green dress, with a belt tied around the waist to subtly accentuate her curves, looked quite adorable.

"Are you doing this part-time?"

Otto noticed that Phyllis was dressed similarly to the other staff members in the store, so she was obviously there part-time.

Upon hearing this, Phyllis simply nodded, and then said helplessly.

"There's no way around it, the appraiser exam costs too much, and the guild's work alone simply can't support it."

My goal is to become a big shot in the capital, so I need to make as much money as possible now and get a higher professional title!

For this reason, Phyllis decided to work at Lillian's inn.

After all, with Lillian around, few people dared to cause trouble in the store, and Phyllis and the members of Dragonbreaker Blade were old acquaintances, so everyone took good care of her.

Seeing that Lillian had gone to help in the kitchen, Phyllis even sat down opposite Otto and quietly explained to him.

"After the Dragon Slayer Squad fell apart, Sister Lillian took over this inn."

But Mr. Goren doesn't seem willing to run the shop with Ms. Lillian. He spends all his time participating in group buying to make money and hasn't been back for a long time. No wonder Sister Lillian is angry.

Phyllis puffed out her cheeks, looking as if she was angry with Goren, who hadn't been home for a long time.

But it looked like a little squirrel with its mouth full of berries, which was very cute.

However, Lillian still managed to spot the little squirrel slacking off.

Phyllis quickly stood up and apologized repeatedly.

Fortunately, Lillian was just being impulsive in the heat of the moment and didn't really scold her. She even had the kitchen staff bring over some ale and food for Otto and Phyllis's supper that night.

"I finally have some free time today, so I'll take this opportunity to rest."

I'll lend you Phyllis for your date; don't waste my skills.

Lillian simply waved her hand, deciding to let the two rest in the shop for a while.

Seeing this, Phyllis finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without any hesitation, she picked up the beer and started drinking.

"Phew, that felt great!"

Contrary to her innocent and lovely appearance, Phyllis drinks very boldly and seems to be a master of drinking.

Come to think of it, Phyllis does work for the Adventurers' Guild.

You should know that the Adventurers' Guild has a small bar.

Having dealt with that group of drunkards every day, Phyllis had naturally developed a good tolerance for alcohol.
