Two years later
max was working with Jonnal making a sword when horns around the town blew max checked the screen he'd kept corvi flying around identifying different plants and animals he'd manage to push the distense the fermiler could operate by four miles it turns out you can emprove feats and spells if you work on them .
Max got a notification of a small goblin force most of them where men though not all odd normally max would simply deal with them with a spell cast though corvi but with the children and women being with them and the start of winter coming with the size of the planet the seasons each last a year .
Max redirected corvi to the house of the mayor and explained everyone with a message spell max would Finnish his day working under Toby and jonnel before he'd find out what the issue was.
The humans in the world even with magic aren't the most dangerous creatures or the only ones there are different kingdoms ran by many different creatures maxs little fortress town was a outpost thirty miles from the kingdom that claimed it as the crow flies but that's from above sat in that thirty miles is a range of tall mountains making the journey one to take to the main city two hundred miles and though two different kingdoms .
in fact fourty years before the lord who owned these lands tried to reseed from that kingdom and ended up with his head on a spike on the town gates .
Legend tells of a old dwarven city hidden in the mountain but no one knew where
Max had been investing a lot of his free time exploring old mines or looking for spells for deep mapping but hadn't made moch process given he only really had one or two days off a week no matter how quickly max learned or showed his skill with hammer or chisel the two master smiths would only teach at there pase " it's like forging a sword boy making sure you fold the metal and leave no air bubbles this is how we teach one step at a time " this had frustrated max no end so he taught him self how to forge with either hands .
Max walked in to the town hall he noticed a goblin child a girl playing with a doll
" so mayor what's happening " max asked " oh nothing just a few of the hobgoblin lords in the thunder mountain have gone to war winter is coming early and the little dragon raided one of there stash's and with the genal scarcity over the last two year since the baby came in that tiped the scales " he said
Acting like it was nothing " were already expecting eight of ten men over sixty having to go winter hunting if they conquer they goblin caves and the other tribes it could mean war we have to try and stop them " max said
