Arriving where he found the ore, Grekorio try to recall when he encountered them, he try to remember from which direction they had come from.
After mulling his brain, Grekorio get the answer, and start to walk deep in forest. Each time he find a herb he opens the book and search for the herb after finding it he say out loud, and a window appear showing the herb, and it description, meaning he got it right.
On the way, he notice a lot of troll's trail meaning that he is in the right way. Grunts could be heard around him alerting his distracted mind, he immeadiately start to concentrate on the stealth skill, and sneak around the bushes.
Didn't take long before he meet a troll walking deep in the forest, Grekorio start stalking it.
After half a hour of stalking, the troll arrive at a village with wooden fences around it, inside the village there is only trolls, everything crudely made, but it mean that there is someone ordering them.
'They have society now? For them to develop like this, they would need someone strong that can gain their respect, and intelligent enough to create roles for them.....which means an evolved troll or something like that.'Analyzing the trolls from the alleys while continuing to pursue the same troll, he had an inkling in what to do to complete this quest.
It entered a house, which is the bigger in all village, Grekorio stop in the alley beside the house, seeing the guard in he front door, he shake his head, and start to look for a way to enter the house, without having to look around, he see some crates align in way that make possible to climb on the house roof then jump to the other side, seeing that a thought came to him'It can't be that simple right.'.

Even while thinking that he start to climbing the crates, careful to not make noise, soon reach the roof of the house beside the one that the troll entered.
Looking at the window of the second floor, where he will try to jump, he see the troll that he was stalking reach for something inside his clothes, and take out an ore golden in color, giving it to someone on a throne, respectfully while kneeling.
Grekorio move his eyes a little and see a 5 meters green giant sitting on a throne, it reach for the ore, giving it a serious look, suddenly start laugh(?) out loud, but to Grekorio it's grunts sounded more like cacophony of sounds.
It gave some orders to the kneeling troll in a deep grunt(?), after which the troll hurried away, The giant sit back in the throne and started to admire the ore in it's hands.
Grekorio was dazed for a second, but after he recovered he started to furiously think about what he should do,'I have two option here, one, sneak in the house and kill the giant troll who's probably the king around here. second is to pursue the troll who delivered the ore, it will probably be going back to the mine, and after killing it clear the mine of trolls...'
'If i kill the troll's king, it would make chaos descend in the society since they would not have a leader anymore, and they would know how to use
the Deep Gold Ore, while if i pursue the troll that was ordered find the mine after stalking him and kill it and all others trolls in the mine, they won't have the ore and i will complete the quest, but since the king know of the mine whereabouts,probably, he will send some trolls there.' weighing the pros and cons, he first the the forest map and mark where the village is, then climb down and start to follow the same troll that showed him the way to the village.

Their destination, a mountain, Grekorio noticing their direction had the sudden urge to facepalm, afte thinking back then he found the ore, the direction where the trolls came from were this mountain, but after finding the trolls that he is stalking now, he changed where he was going.
One hour later he found himself at the foot of the mountain with a lot of trolls going around with pickaxe in hand.
He immediately sneaked behind the troll, that he was following while unsheathing his sword silently, he jumped at it's back pushed it's chin up and shoved the sword at the troll's throat, fastly putting a hand on it's mouth to prevent it from grunting.
Draggin the body back at the woods, he started to sneak around the mine to understand the situation there.
Half a hour later.
Grekorio leans on the rocky wall of a cave inside the mine, while summarizing what he had seen.'So while the king is intelligent, he is the only one, this mine there are only trolls mining without a worry, with only mining ores in the mind....*creppy laugh* that make my job easy.'
Grekorio stand up and again use his stealth to go around the mine.
Every now and then you can hear low grunts from inside the mines.
Grekorio stand beside a troll who has it's head sorrounded by blood.
'And it's the last one.'
「Quest completed」
A window appear in front of him confirming his thoughts, he search around the mine one more time to see if he left anything behind, and marking where exactly is the mine before he start to walk out the mine in direction of the village.
On the way there, again each time he find a herb he opens the book and search for the herb after finding it he say out loud, and a window appear showing the herb, and it description, meaning he got it right.
