"For your first task I want you to investigate the report of a farmer who lives on the edge of Ring City's territory.He claims that abnormal looking goblins were lurking around his tomato farm and he feels unsafe.Your task is to bring me a live goblin if possible but if that isn't possible then dead ones will be fine.I don't expect much of you after all.Heres a space ring to store the dead bodies.I'll also provide you with a special enchanted net and wagon to capture an abnormal goblin."Mandar Schion immediately gave Orion his first task.
"Am I going to do this by myself or do I have company."Orion was nervous about this first task as he didn't know how strong goblins were in this world.He didn't want to depend on the assumption and stereotype that goblins were weak in fantasy.On top of that these goblins were said to be abnormal.
"Of course you'll have company your merely at the low class B and I dont trust you to not get yourself killed.I've already hired some adventurers to aid you in this task.Just in case I'll send a powerful mage at the mid B class to take care of you because I don't trust the capabilities of the adventurers either.Oh and feel free to consume some goblin flesh."Mandar Schion immediately opened a door and a middle aged mage appeared.
"This is the mid B class mage Torrent just follow him and he'll lead you to where you need to go."With that Mandar Schion went back to his desk and Orion walked with Torrent out of the mages guild.
"So your Mandars test subject;I'd heard rumours about you and your body.Its impressive you've got to the low B class without any training.If we learn the secrets of your blood and body it may elevate the human race even further and we can conquer the entire island even the orcs and demi humans wouldn't stand a chance."Torrent was full of praise but Orion immediately believed that even if Mandar found out his bloods secrets he would probably keep it to himself.Mandar honestly didn't seem like the type of person who enjoyed sharing discoveries.
They immediately entered a carriage and wandered through Ring City.They didn't take a straight route however which made Orion curious.Their current route was shaped like a U.
"Shouldn't we take the fastest route to the adventurers who will be joining us.It seems like we're wasting time."Oriom said as he wasn't very patient with these kinds of things .
"Normally I'd agree with you but right now there's a powerful dark mage going on a rampage within Ring City and his managed to kill every royal and noble guard that's come into contact with him.Its best for us to avoid conflict before we end up fighting mutated goblins."Torrent talked with disdain when he mentioned the words dark mage and rampage.
"You mentioned the words mutated goblins are they creatures that occur normally?."asked Orion as he wondered about the implications of mutated goblins.
"Goblins do gain mutations just like humans do but in this case not so drastic.The goblins we're talking about are almost a completely different species far stronger then the norm.Remember the necromancers you got rescued from,they had undead goblins which were abnormal and there were an abnormal number of undead necromancers as reported by royal guard Bloodfist.Its theorised that the necromancers were attacked by mutated goblins and the two sides killed a number of each other.These goblins are more powerful then normal judging from the strengh of their undead.Its believed that they underwent drastic mutations due to the fog of the broken out dungeon to the North."Torrent explained the theories behind the existence of the abnormal goblins and where they possibly came from.
"There's a dungeon to the North spewing out fog that mutates everything that comes into contact with it?."Orion questioned as he wanted to know more about the island he was on.
"You ought to already know though I guess Archmage Mandar keeps things from you.Yes the dungeon to the North wasn't always that way.It started out as a normal dungeon near the town of Babbel and people were excited.They expected a golden age for the town of Babbel.What they found in the dungeon was unknown dangerous creatures and environments as well as the fog I just told you about.Anyways some adventurers were mutated by the fog and turned into monsters so they quarantined the dungeon and declared it off limits.As with all unmanaged dungeons however it broke out and the unknown creatures and environments spread to the outside along with the mutating fog.The fog spread rapidly at first engulfing the town of Babbel and turning its residents into monsters.The fog is still spreading outwards and has been doing so for months now and has even made contact with the Derbyshire woods where the goblins usually reside.The royal guard tried to tackle the fog at first but when some turned into monsters they decided to take the quarantine approach.Their still trying to tackle the fog and find out its weaknesses.Nevermind all that we're here say hello to the adventurers."
