"Umm..." Ian nodded.
"But where are you going?" he couldn't help but ask.
"You don't need to know."
Margaret waved her hand and suddenly rembered sothing.
"Oh, by the way, you should probably go to Woodhaven City. That brat got quite the adventure. If you are late, you might not be able to see her again."
She smirked in a playful manner.
"Oh? Sylvia?"
He rembered that Sylvia seed to have gone to Woodhaven City in anger.
"It is ti for to go. We will et again if you beco strong enough in the future."
"Wait!"
Ian still had many things to ask, but Margaret disappeared just as she appeared inexplicably.
"If we can et again, and you are strong enough, I may give you what you want."
Suddenly, Ian heard a distant voice of hers directly in his mind followed by a soft giggle.
"Demoness!"
He cursed, but this ti he had a smile on his lips.
Seeing that Margaret truly disappeared, Ian visibly relaxed. Although he appeared easy and free when talking and flirting with her, he was actually on tenterhooks.
After all, she turned out to be so powerful that he couldn't even use his ntal power in front of her.
Anybody would be suffocated if their life wasn't in their hands.
'Fortunately, it was a false call.'
Ian thought so, then rembered sothing intriguing.
'If what Margaret said was true, Ruther can't even use Tier 1 Spell in his soul form?'
He smiled at this piece of information. You know, the reason why he was kind of passive and reducing the contact with protagonist Carl unconsciously was because of this uncertainty.
He was a passerby villain of a novel, and if he jumped around the protagonist in abandon, if the Sixth Ring Wizard decided to kill him, he would have nowhere to cry.
'But if he couldn't even use the Tier 1 spell, I can be more aggressive.'
Of course, even if Ruther was incapacitated, he was still a strong man that couldn't be content with. But Ian was no longer passive like before.
After smirking at this possibility, he then finally looked at the System prompt he got after opening the treasure chest.
[Ding!]
[You killed 5,000 soldiers in cold blood.]
[You killed your uncle Thomas, who was blood-related, with your own hands.]
[You discovered what Thomas had hidden.]
[Congratulations! You have completed the Interdiate quest: Are you cold enough to kill your blood relative?]
[Your destiny path has been further solidified.]
[Destiny: Passerby Villain (?)]
[Congratulations! You received a reward: A Chance for Bloodline Awakening.]
[Note: Similar rewards can be earned by completing similar quests, but be cautious as your greed can be your downfall.]
This ti Ian's attention was completely on different parts of the prompt.
'System, what is this question mark next to my destiny?'
He asked, but even after waiting for a while, got no response just like before.
After he got the foreboding feeling and severe warning from the System, he beca quite sensitive to this destiny tag.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do to unearth the mystery, he could only put it aside for now and looked at the reward.
[A Chance for Bloodline Awakening: Use this chance to get an opportunity to awaken your bloodline from Initiation to Harmonization level. The degree of awakening depends on your bloodline level.]
[Warning: This reward is a chance, not a guarantee.]
[Do you want to use your chance?]
"No!"
Ian denied it as this place wasn't good for awakening yet. He didn't know what would happen once he used this chance; it was better to be careful.
After understanding the reward, he then looked at the note at the end with interest.
[Note: Similar rewards can be earned by completing similar quests, but be cautious as your greed can be your downfall.]
'Does that an I can get a more bloodline-related reward if I kill my relatives connected by blood?'
'How wicked.'
This ti was a special case, but he wasn't a murderer and a psycho. However, this prompt did really test the conscience of a person.
After all, you just need to kill soone related by blood, and you would get exciting rewards.
'No wonder it is telling to be cautious.'
Ian had no intention of doing such a deplorable thing.
"I'm indeed a villain, but with a conscience."
Ian laughed, totally forgetting he killed his uncle while making out with his wife on the sa day.
He then briefly looked at the items in the treasure box and stuffed all the items inside it into his ring, and walked out of the room.
The things inside were nothing precious, just a dark ditation thod that allows a person to use humans as a pill to increase ntal power; thereby becoming a Wizard Apprentice.
He even saw more than 10 pills inside the pouch; evidence of Thomas's cruelty.
However, he was in no mood to criticize a dead person as he had more important things to do.
Ian wanted to awaken his bloodline as quickly as possible and return to the place ntioned by the map given by Margaret.
That place was so close to the lair of Ruther that Ian rembered the bloody plot he read in another novel in his previous life.
What if he was looted by the protagonist with the help of Ruther? It was indeed possible with the terrifying luck of that bastard.
'Tch, I bet that guy already has this dal.'
He was annoyed. Although from reading the Arcane Passage, he knew that Carl wouldn't return to that place anyti soon, what if?
Anything could happen as his presence had already deviated the destiny.
"Young Master!"
After Ian ca out of the room, the black-clothed youth hurriedly saluted him with respect. Experience more on empire
"Umm..." Ian nodded at him and ordered,
"Seal this room and send a ssage to the capital and wait for the order above. You can also delegate this task to Lancer. He should arrive in a few days."
"Yes, young master."
Ian just nodded and walked away from the basent, heading directly outside of Bridgeport City.
