Failed Quest!

"Excellent!"

Dornar beamed with a wide smile after seeing that Ian was satisfied with his rewards. So, he asked him again trying to strike the iron while it was hot,

"So, let's do the Wizard Oath then. Don't worry, I just want you to deliver a message to my clan. It is just a simple thing."

He tried to lighten the severity of the situation since he noticed that Ian seemed to be conflicted about taking an Oath.

'Simple, my ass!'

Ian cursed under his breath as he recalled the task that Dornar was about to assign him.

Actually, this was a foreshadowing of a bigger plot in the Arcane Passage.

After Carl accepted this task in the novel, he would inadvertently become involved with the biggest antagonist of the novel, Kaelzor.

Since it was a novel, of course, it didn't just have a heroines and a protagonist but also a major villain, unlike Ian, who was a passerby forgotten in a single chapter.
