My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 41 The Black Sheep's Gift

Harvey explained some important points to Micah.

"If you accept the commission, the governor might be able to help you secure some orders for rare minerals."

Furthermore, we don't care whether the thief lives or dies, as long as the goods are brought back.

At this point, Harvey cautiously reminded Micah that this was also a good opportunity.

Since Micah has businesses in Oak Town, it would always be easier for him to get things done if he maintained a good relationship with the town's governor.

As for Micah, to be honest, he didn't really want to get involved in this commission, but if it could really help the forging workshop's business, it might be a good choice.

"Okay, I'll take it."

However, this time you'll have to waive my bail.

As Micah spoke, he snatched the money bag from Harvey's hand, which made the veteran jump up and down and curse.

But just as the two were struggling, an adventurer in the cage overheard what was happening and immediately knocked on the cell door, saying that he had some information that might be able to help them.

Of course, it didn't come without a price.

"Since Goren shared his dinner with me and paid my bail, I'll tell you everything about that kid, absolutely true!"

The adventurer who spoke, though not as strong as Goren, was still a burly man.

However, his calculating manner seemed quite out of place with his appearance.

However, since there was a clue, Micah was naturally willing to listen.

But Harvey, standing next to him, had a smirk on his face and his palm outstretched towards Micah, looking every bit the victor.

"robber!"

Micah curled his lip and immediately tossed the money pouch back to Harvey, telling him to release the adventurer and his team members as soon as possible.

Harvey was naturally willing to do the work once he received the money.

But just as Harvey was about to open the cage, Otto refused to come out!

"I'd like to stay here for the night."

Otto was watching the black sheep's antics.

Upon entering the police station, Black Sheep was incredibly excited, as if he had come home.

The black sheep sensed the presence of evil.

The black sheep is absorbing the essence of these sins and undergoing a transformation.

Seeing that the black sheep had a chance to transform, Otto naturally couldn't interrupt the process, so he had no choice but to spend the night at the police station.

"The people here are so nice to talk to, and they're all so talented! I love being here!"

After saying this, Otto immediately bumped fists with his fellow inmates, indicating that he wanted to have a good talk with them.

Upon hearing this, Micah's lips twitched involuntarily.

He had never met anyone who liked going to jail.

"You're not staying here just to save on accommodation costs, are you?"

Micah felt as if he had discovered the truth.

Seeing this, Otto didn't explain anything, but just nodded silently.

Otto's silence only earned him Micah's embarrassment; he hadn't expected his junior to be such a stingy person.

"Alright, come back early tomorrow. Goren and I will go back and have a good talk with this adventurer."

Micah gave a few instructions and then left with his men.

As for Otto, he naturally lay down and slept in his cell.

Because of Micah, Harvey didn't add any new prisoners to Otto's cell, but instead let him have the whole cell to himself.

Unfortunately, Otto was completely unable to sleep.

The reason still lies with the black sheep.

His animal friends were high all night because of those so-called sinful smells.

It wasn't until the next morning that things finally calmed down.

Black Sheep was very satisfied with last night's meal.

The black sheep has undergone some transformation.

[The Black Sheep has brought you innate combat skills.]

[Talent Skill: Black Sheep Charge (LV1)]

[Effect: Increases impact power, while also causing slight dizziness and corrosion.]

Otto, having escaped his cage and embarking on his journey home, looked at the innate combat skill before him and thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

Just like bloodline magic, innate combat skills also display their level.

However, this effect looks somewhat unusual.

It would be difficult to make effective use of a single-handed sword.

Seeing this, Otto immediately decided on his secondary equipment choice.

"Let's use shields then."

Otto thought that a shield would allow him to maximize the effect of this innate combat skill.

While Otto was pondering this, he had already returned to the workshop.

Micah and Goren are talking about something.

As for Javier, he was busy in the kitchen, seemingly making breakfast.

Otto simply greeted them before explaining his choice.

"I'd like to choose a shield as my secondary weapon. Are there any suitable items available for rent in the warehouse?"

But before Micah could speak, Goren interrupted Otto's remarks.

"A shield is indeed a good choice."

My wife used to be a full-time adventurer specializing in battle shields.

You can go to the inn and learn from her how to use the shield and combat techniques.

After retiring, she also registered as a mentor with the Adventurers' Guild.

Shields are often the first choice for many adventurers, so there are a lot of guides available.

Since Otto intends to choose the shield, he naturally can't let someone else have it.

But upon hearing this, Micah chuckled and said...

"You just want to go back to your wife, don't you?"

"Alright, after taking Otto to the hotel, tell Phyllis about what happened last night and ask her to look into it for us."

Seeing that Goren was eager to return home, Micah could no longer persuade him to stay.

However, the work still needs to be done.

As for Otto, they are still investigating him at this stage and he is not needed for the time being.

The most important task for this kid is to start training as soon as possible, improve himself, and strive to be more useful in future team battles.

After everyone had assigned their tasks, they immediately dispersed.

Micah stayed in the workshop and continued working on the commission with Havel.

As for Goren and Otto, they went to the inn first to find the instructor who was skilled with shields.

Along the way, Otto was also curious about how the governor's commission from yesterday was progressing.

"Any progress?"

"Still under investigation."

Goren simply explained it.

"The adventurer did provide some information yesterday, but it still needs to be verified."

That's why Micah asked me to check with Phyllis.

As the liaison between the Dragonbreaker Blade and the Adventurers' Guild, Phyllis was one of the guild members they trusted the most.

Therefore, when they encounter some difficulties, the Dragon Slayer team will go to her as soon as possible.

"If the adventurer's information is true, then the thief probably didn't break into the governor's house by chance, but rather it was a premeditated act."

Goren sighed and revealed the intelligence they had obtained.

"The adventurer said that recently, people have been selling various licenses at the Wanderer's Tavern."

These licenses all bear the official seal of the consul.
