Chapter 7 - first quest part one

"I'm up for it." Marton said as shaking Drake's hand.

Seeing that her father was willing, Violet also shook Drake's hand.

They all looked towards me with questioning eyes.

"I mean, what's there to lose." I also shook Drake's hand.

"Well, now that's out of the way. What do you guys say about doing the hardest quest on that bord?" Drake asked.

"You don't mean." Marton tried to ask but then Drake Interrupted.

"Yeah, that's right hunting goblins."

Marton looked confused.

"Yes, indeed goblins are a tough adversary. But isn't there a troll hunt quest?" Marton asked.

Drake glared at him.

"Not just any goblins, you fool. We are hunting a big fish, the goblin lord."

"But you said on the bord. You have to directly ask the guild master to do that one."

"You know what I meant, and plus."

"Oh yeah, I guess I forgot that I still have my sword on my waist." I say

I clear my throat and ask

"What's the plan?"

After saying that, Drake spoke up.

"The goblin lord's fort is in the northern plains. We will have to take a wagon to get there, and even then it will take a day."

"So then, if all of you are ready then let's get moving." Marton said
