The green-skinned goblin tilted its head back, muttering something under its breath.
It wasn't until the innkeeper offered him a glass of beer that he revealed the truth: "A temple! A hidden shrine on the turtle's back! It must be a highly advanced civilization relic, established on a 16th-level anomaly."
The crowd gasped in amazement and then inquired about its exact location.
The goblin shook his head: "Alas, that crystal turtle, who knows where it's gone, such a pity..."
Everyone treated it as nothing more than a curious tale.
After all, goblins were known to be rife with lies.
However, this news quietly spread out.

Thus, it gradually evolved into an unsolved mystery of the North.
