After Ivita and company left the castle, they inquired with some farmers, and everyone said that Lord has only one son and no daughters at all.
This made Ivita start to think that the mission was a prank.
Or perhaps, he had totally misinterpreted the meaning of Old Druid. Perhaps the quest to recruit a blacksmith, stated in the last piece of wood, was indeed the quest in prophecy!
Hopefully, they could still accept that quest if they returned now.
However, even in this case, plenty of resources and 8 pennies of service charge would have been wasted in vain.
The sky gradually darkened. It was the time to decide whether to leave or stay.
Black Wolf suggested that it did not make good sense to stay in such a weird place for the night, not to mention that they were unwelcome by the host.
It would be better to spend the night in the wilderness than stay here.
The Old Witch unusually agreed to his decision and suggested it would be better to leave immediately.
