My bloodline is so eager to improve.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Dead's Perspective

Otto was not unfamiliar with this kind of scene.

Clearly, his consciousness returned to the thick fog of that dream.

Otto slowly opened his eyes and saw once again the raven that had attacked him.

After Tessa's explanation, Otto understood that the raven before him was likely a manifestation of the soul of a priest from the past.

As a divine messenger, it is responsible for conveying the will of the Goddess of Light.

But isn't the goddess of light looking at him a little too often?

Just as Otto was wondering what was going on, he saw the crow swooping down on him again.

This time, however, the other party did not attack Otto; instead, it stood on top of him and used its wings to cover the boy's eyes.

At that very moment, Otto seemed to see something.

His vision gradually became clearer, but it was no longer under his control!

He saw that the scenery before him was extremely chaotic and turbulent.

Upon seeing this, Otto immediately understood.

The crow probably let itself see from someone else's perspective!

"Felicity can actually play like this?!"

Otto was somewhat surprised; the goddess's authority was indeed wondrous.

But on second thought, it's not too hard to understand.

After all, the blessing Goddess bestowed upon Otto was the Eye of Light, so it seems quite reasonable for him to possess authority related to the eyes.

Just as Otto was speculating about the scope of the goddess's authority, the raven's perspective had already changed once again.

The original owner of the object in the viewpoint appeared to have been attacked, and suddenly fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood.

At the last moment, the other side saw the attacker.

It was a person wearing a hood and a mask.

At that very moment, the eagle spotted some clues.

[The Eagle stated that when the hooded person extended their hand, a small tattoo mark was visible on their arm!]

Clearly, this is what Raven wants Otto to see.

The crow retracted its wings, soared into the air, and hovered high above Otto's head, bringing him the divine message.

"O believer who accepts the fire."

Find the lost soul.

Punish the madman who blasphemes against God.

The light will illuminate your path!

The raven's announcement echoed in Otto's ears like an ancient tolling bell.

It was at this moment that Otto left his dream.

When he opened his eyes, the warm morning light had already shone into the room.

Seeing this, Otto simply let out a long sigh, stood up, and opened the window.

Looking at the busy figures outside the window, Otto jokingly asked about the goddess's request.

"It looks like it's time to pay the price. I just hope the goddess will tip me after this is over."

Thanks to Michael's reminder, Otto already knew that divine gifts always came at a price.

After all, he had already absorbed the fire seed, so it was time for him to start working.

"The original owner of that perspective was probably the Lantern Priest who was attacked."

How did the goddess get the opponent's perspective before they died?

Otto was curious about this, which was understandable, since Tessa had once said that the priest who was attacked had even had his soul stolen.

Fortunately, after analysis, the magic ape seemed to have discovered a clue.

[The Magic Ape speculates that this memory is likely related to the soul lamp provided by the Lantern Order.]

The Magic Ape believed that if the owner marked by the Soul Lamp was killed, the Soul Lamp would likely bring back some information about the person before their death.

In the eyes of the Magical Ape, the Soul Lamp is not only a tool to convey the safety of its master, but may also have some kind of sensory ability.

This conjecture does provide a reasonable explanation for everything that happened in the dream.

The Magic Ape stated that, through its collaboration with the eagle, it has restored the tattoo to its original state.

With the prompt from the Magic Ape, the image of a tattoo appeared in Otto's mind.

This is a strange tattoo that looks like a mountain that has been split apart.

Otto didn't quite understand the meaning of the tattoo yet, but he made a note of it for the time being.

But at that moment, Moonbeam hound reminded Otto to be careful.

[The Moonlit Hound stated that since the other party dared to assassinate the priest, they must have received blessings from other deities to avoid being watched by the Goddess of Light.]

After consuming more bloodline marks, the black sheep surmised that carrying the mark of Grak might attract the attention of this barbarian god, and even provide some degree of cover.

Otto wasn't particularly surprised by this.

Come to think of it, how could a priest blessed by the gods be so easy to kill?

Clearly, the person wearing a hood and a mask is probably a follower of the barbarian god Grac.

Otto felt that he had finally gathered some information.

He immediately found some parchment in the house and drew the tattoo.

After confirming that the tattoo was exactly the same as the one he remembered, he immediately went out of the house and found Lillian and Havel.

“I’ve found some clues that might be related to the group that attacked the priest.”

As Otto spoke, he handed the tattoo to the two men.

Otto only said that it was a detail he had just remembered.

After all, the Goddess of Light only provided some clues; the process of completing the magic ape's puzzle could not be mentioned to others.

Fortunately, Lillian and Havel didn't ask any more questions, and simply left the house with the parchment.

As for Otto, he went into the warehouse to change into his Moonsilver carved armor.

"One day, I will save up enough money to buy you!"

Otto was quite satisfied with the armor.

Although he can only rent from Michael for ten copper Thorns a day now, Otto figured that since he's debt-free now, he can always save some money!

As Otto pondered his future money-saving plans, he donned his battle armor.

Before long, they left the warehouse.

At this moment, Tessa had already donned her heavy armor and was standing at the door waiting for Otto.

As for Goren, he slept on the sofa and didn't need to move at all.

After seeing that Otto was ready, Goren immediately got up from the sofa, put on a dark coat, and called the two to get ready to set off.

As a martial artist, Goren's fists are his weapons; he doesn't need to wear anything.

However, this situation was special, so Goren still brought out his best-kept secret weapon: a pair of fingerless boxing gloves.

Goren was seen putting on fingerless boxing gloves while giving the two men some simple instructions.

"We said we were going hunting, but actually we were trying to avoid any potential attackers or spies in the camp; there are too many people here."

Once we enter the forest and there are fewer people around, our visual acuity will be enhanced, so we'll have to be extra careful then.

Goren patted the two men on the shoulder, reassuring them.

Even if there were any real trouble, the three of them would be able to handle it.

As the temporary captain, Goren has made ample preparations.

Alright, let's go!

Let's go and make a killing!

Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Gray Deer

Goren pushed open the door and strode toward the entrance path to the Blackthorn Forest.

Just as the three were about to set off, they saw Frederick's team slowly disappearing into the thick fog on the outskirts of the forest.

"Tsk."

Goren felt that seeing Frederick's face had completely ruined his good mood!

However, as Goren watched the Rabbit Foot Squad enter the forest, he sensed something was amiss.

"Is Sabrina leading the team?"

Sabrina's appearance is too striking.

The yellowish bandages, the occasional glimpses of dry skin, and those lifeless eyes that looked like those of a dead man left a deep impression on Goren.

Therefore, upon seeing that familiar hood, Goren immediately realized that the person walking at the front of the group was Sabrina, whom he had seen yesterday.

"Otto, do you know what career path that girl named Sabrina has chosen?"

Upon hearing this, Otto was taken aback at first, then searched his memory and finally found some answers in his memories related to Joel.

“I remember Joel mentioning that Sabrina was a scout in their team, without any special profession, and we don’t know if she had mastered any kind of martial arts or magic.”

As Otto explained, Goren simply nodded and said nothing more.

Watching the Rabbit Foot Squad be swallowed by the thick fog, Goren could only think that if he ever had the chance to see them in the forest again, he would have to have a good talk with that girl named Sabrina. Frederick was no good person.

With that thought in mind, Goren composed himself, raised his right fist, and shouted loudly.

"Now, it's our turn to go in!"

Goren led the way at the front of the group, guiding the two into the Blackthorn Forest.

The eeriness of this forest still shrouds the entire area.

A cold wind blows from time to time, but the thick fog is like some kind of solid that just won't dissipate.

Goren explained it simply to Tessa, who was visiting the Blackthorn Forest for the first time.

"The outer perimeter of the forest is shrouded in mist year-round, while the interior is shrouded in thin fog. Otto, it's up to you now."

Following Goren's instructions, Otto simply nodded and immediately activated the Eye of the Lamp.

In reality, the fog didn't extend very far.

Goren thought they could rely on Otto's Eye of Light to avoid being attacked in the foggy area.

As Goren and his group cautiously explored deeper into the Blackthorn Forest, the noise from the camp behind them grew increasingly distant.

Tessa let out a long sigh of relief and gripped the hammer in her hand tightly. It was her first time in the Blackthorn Forest, and with most of her view taken away, she was inevitably a little nervous.

The pungent smell of decaying leaves and damp soil lingered all around, making Tessa very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she could occasionally hear the unique sound emanating from Otto's Moon Silver Carved Armor.

As Tessa recalled how the boy had risked everything to shield her from the meteorite, her emotions gradually calmed down.

But at that moment, Otto gave a low warning.

"Three wisps of scarlet mist are gradually approaching from the right front."

When Otto's Lantern Eyes detect danger, they mark the source of danger as a crimson mist, a fact he had briefly explained to his two companions before setting off.

Therefore, without spending too much time explaining, the three of them immediately took action.

Tessa didn't say much, but simply raised her hammer and cast a Law Shield on each of the three of them.

The instant the Shield of Law lit up, Goren had already slid to the right front.
