My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 57 The Law Priest

The Moonbeam Hound's announcement made it clear to animal friends who the leader is now.

Under the guidance of the Moonlit Hound, Otto was finally spared the antics of those rebellious brats.

Meanwhile, Otto had finished his preparations and was ready to depart.

"Let's go to the Adventurers' Guild first."

Otto, of course, did not forget Micah's instructions and immediately planned to go to the Adventurers' Guild to pick up his teammate whom he had never met before.

As for how to make contact, he wasn't too worried.

Otto arrived at the Adventurers' Guild and immediately found Eileen to explain the situation.

"Oh, you're also planning to go to the base in Blackthorn Forest?"

With Eileen's explanation, Otto learned that the person in charge of the camp was Phyllis.

The little girl had already gone to the Blackthorn Forest with the group earlier.

"If you're looking for Tessa, she's practicing in the backyard."

As Eileen spoke, she gestured to her colleagues to take over her work, as she was going to take Otto to find someone.

Seeing Eileen taking another opportunity to slack off, her colleagues were furious but dared not speak out.

There's nothing we can do; they're from a big city, on a business trip.

As for Eileen, she didn't care at all about the resentful looks from her colleagues, and simply took Otto to the backyard.

Before long, when the two arrived at the training ground at the back, Eileen immediately called out to the distance.

"Tessa, your teammates are here to pick you up."

As Eileen called out, Otto finally saw his new teammates.

The girl's long, golden hair, as if tempered by the sun, was tied into a high ponytail, with only two wisps of hair left at her temples. The ends of her hair were slightly curled, making her look even more lively.

However, when she turned to look at Otto, her icy blue eyes, like a frozen spring in a deep pool, sent a chill down Otto's spine.

When she looked at Otto, the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, as if she were observing him or curious, which made Otto feel a little uncomfortable.

To Otto's surprise, the other party was not wearing thick plate armor, but instead had changed into a priest's robe.

This highlights the girl's tall and slender figure.

As the girl approached the two, Otto felt as if she were a cat that had been woken up from its afternoon nap by its owner, exuding a melancholy yet elegant air.

However, as the girl approached Otto, he noticed something amiss.

Her fingers were long and slender, with thin calluses at the knuckles.

Clearly, the girl was not a pampered young lady; those calluses were proof of her hard work.

Otto figured the girl must have put a lot of effort into her training.

As Otto observed the girl, she simply bowed slightly and introduced herself to him.

"I am Tessa Valentine, a priestess who has received divine instructions and walks on earth in place of the Lord."

Currently, he excels at casting defensive blessings and sealing spells.

At this point, Tessa straightened up and couldn't help but glance at Eileen.

"Of course, if this lazy woman were willing to teach me the Judgement combat techniques, I would be able to come in even more useful."

Clearly, not only her colleagues at the counter, but even Eileen's juniors harbored resentment towards her.

But Eileen herself didn't care at all.

"We've already discussed this issue. Rather than becoming a knight of judgment, your theology teacher would prefer you to become a preaching priest and diligently study theology."

Eileen shoved Tessa toward Otto, then scratched her head and headed toward her room.

"She's all yours now, don't worry about me."

Also, this little one is the same age as you. If she makes a mistake, just discipline her gently, as long as she doesn't get seriously injured.

Eileen seemed to have no intention of taking care of this junior at all.

But this did not surprise Otto.

After all, Eileen, who was her liaison with the Adventurers' Guild, couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to her.

However, now that they have received the person, they cannot waste any more time here.

"I am Otto of the Dragon Slayer. Micah and Goren have arrived at the camp. We should head over there too."

After saying this, Otto immediately helped Tessa up and was about to take her away from the Adventurers' Guild.

But even this brief encounter filled Otto's animal friends with immense excitement.

[The black sheep shouted excitedly, "Mating! Mating! Mating right here and now!"]

The black cat's eyes gleamed with jealousy. It was convinced its gait was far more elegant than Tess's, and it declared it would challenge her to a contest!

The brown bear really wants to test its skills against Tessa. It senses that Tessa possesses an extraordinary profession and wants to make her realize who's in charge!

The eagle and the moonlit hound are utterly uninterested in this; they remind you that women will only slow you down when you draw your sword!

The Magic-Phantom Ape has discovered Tessa's extraordinary abilities.

Looking at his boisterous animal friends, Otto just thought, "Have these guys gone crazy again?"

Especially black sheep!

This guy who likes to inhale the scent of evil is probably thinking of something that won't pass censorship again!

Fortunately, the Magic-like Ape did bring Otto some useful knowledge.

[Tier 1 - Transcendent: Law Priest (4/6)]

When a practitioner completes their training, their strength and spirit will be enhanced.

[Class Spell: Law Seal]

[Quality: First Ring]

[Those who have taken up the post can cast sealing spells in a meditative state according to various laws; the effect increases with the quality of the spell and the level of familiarity with its mastery.]

[Class Trait: Word Power]

Language and writing can wield a certain degree of magic and spiritual energy.

[Blessing: The Shield of the Law]

The blessed person can cast a blessing on themselves and others, forming a small, translucent shield that rotates around them, protecting the shield's wielder from one instance of damage.

[Employment Requirements: Believers in the God of Judgment and Law must accept and pass the divine trials.]

[The Magical Ape's assessment of the Law Priest: The ideal priesthood, far superior to the Goddess's flame.]

Seeing that the Magical Ape was starting to make insinuations, Otto wished he could just rip the monkey off!

What if the goddess hears this?

Is he going to get a beating from the ravens again?

But seeing Otto looking uncomfortable, Tessa, who was beside him, assumed that he was just feeling uneasy because he was teaming up with a stranger.

"Please don't mind me, I just have some complaints about Eileen, I'm not usually like that."

The little girl was afraid that Otto would misunderstand, so she quickly explained.

"Within our church, a first-order priest can undergo trials to become a second-order preaching priest, or be promoted to a judgment knight."

I've always wanted to become a Knight of Judgment, but neither Eileen nor my teacher were willing to teach me.

With Tessa's explanation, Otto seemed to have gained a clearer understanding of the job change.

It turns out that professions with similar systems or overlapping characteristics and concepts can be changed when advancing in their careers!

This reminded Otto of the job change options offered to him by the Magic Ape.
