Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

"What is this bloodline anyway?"

Ian asked, not forgetting his father's bloodline was in a sealed state.

He was eager to know this unknown knowledge not even mentioned in the novel Arcane Passage. He now hated himself for not reading past Volume 1.

"Hm?"

Hearing his question, Margaret woke up from her reverie and thought for a while.

"I cannot explain to you now about those things as you are too weak. You just need to know that the Veilstrider family has a strong bloodline in their blood.

However, what it is, what's the name, and even what it was about, you should never be curious."

By the end, Margaret's voice became somber as if even she was afraid of mentioning those things.

"Ian, remember. In the world of Wizards, knowledge is the key to success just as it is also your doom. Never be curious about something you shouldn't until you are strong."

Hearing her severe warnings, Ian nodded as he understood her thoughts.

As far as he knew, some Wizards were so powerful that even the mention of their name could reach their ears.

'Wait a minute! Isn't there a question mark in my father's bloodline column?'

He then remembered the small detail he missed when looking at his father's status.

He thought it was just sealed and therefore not named, but maybe there was a reason the system didn't show it on the panel. Find your next read on empire

"As long as you know."

Margaret breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, my stay here is coming to an end. Before, I was going to stay for about a year, but now that you are already a wizard apprentice, I have to return."

She said but didn't elaborate on who she was, why she was there, or where she was going.

She just looked at him one last time and said,

"This box was hidden by Thomas elsewhere, I just helped you get it. But, don't use that Blood meditation method and the item in the pouch. They are diabolical practices and could limit your potential."

"Oh? But I killed Uncle Thomas. Don't you have any resentment?"

Ian asked with a smile, clearly in the mood to joke.

After seeing that she was still concerned about him, he set aside his skepticism for now.

Margaret rolled her eyes hearing his words.

"It was just a disguise I prepared and we have nothing to do with each other."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seemingly not wanting to waste her words, she took out a map and a medal by waving her hands and giving them to him.

"Although your bloodline hadn't been awakened yet, I have a feeling it won't be long. So, I will give this map and medal to you, you can go there after awakening it."

Ian grabbed the map and dark medal in his hand that was floating in front of him.

"But remember, only go there after awakening your bloodline." She warned.

Ian looked at the map curiously, which showed the general outline of the Gravethrone Continent while the only noticeable thing was the round circle.

"Ashen Sanctum!"

After looking at it for a while, Ian was completely bewildered because the map marked the same place he went before, Ashen Sanctum.

Although the place marked was a little off, the area was the same. He wouldn't make a mistake.

"Oh? Do you know this place?"

Margaret asked in confusion. The place she mentioned was inside one of the forbidden zones, Ashen Spires.

She thought he would be shocked seeing the location; instead, he seemed to be shocked by another thing.

Ian looked at her confused expression, thought for a while, and decided to tell her.

"I know about this place because I was searching for Wizard-related things for a while. From what I know, the place marked here is closer to the lair of a Sixth-Ring Wizard."

He wanted to know if Margaret knew about it. After all, although the place was slightly off, it was too much of a coincidence.

"Oh? Are you talking about that old guy? Tch, you don't have to worry about him, he is barely surviving in a soul body. He couldn't even use first-ring spells. Moreover, I don't know where he went.

Anyway, besides someone with a unique bloodline like yours, nobody can enter this place even with this medal."

Margaret talked nonchalantly and seeing that he was still concerned, she said,

"Okay, you don't have to worry about those things. Even if there was anything, I have cleared up everything. You just need to go after your bloodline awakens."

'So, she indeed knew.' Ian was shocked.

'Moreover, seeing her scornful look, she didn't take the Sixth-Ring Wizard seriously? How strong is she?'

Then Ian remembered Ruther hiding inside a ring and was with Carl and couldn't help but want to tell Margaret.

Maybe, she would kill him and the problem would be solved.

Just when he thought of this, he suddenly felt a strong impact in his soul followed by a blood-red warning prompt in his mind.

[Your destiny is diverging too fast.]

[You are too weak.]

This time, the message was even more straightforward, without any information. However, Ian instantly understood.

It was like he was a fly stuck in a net woven by a spider. It was fine if he was silent; the spider wouldn't care, but if he jumped and made a noise, the only outcome would be death.

He was also a pitiful passerby villain stuck on the net woven by destiny.

'Weakness is a sin.'

Ian thought bitterly but didn't overly concern himself with it. There was no rush, as everything would be uncovered as long as he became strong.

From the reward he got from the System earlier, there was clearly some connection with this destiny status. So, it was better to play it safe.

"Okay, I told you everything you need to know. You should leave this place and head for the Calvora continent as soon as possible."

Margaret seemed to be in a hurry and didn't allow him to be lost in his thoughts.
