The reason Jjikjjiki 49f9dd06d2 hadn’t been able 23e74733c8 to take quests 0c0092187f until now was 96e18999fc because I always bfab1605d4 took the lead 234ffd72d4 in everything.

Ten goblins from 977a1d24b6 the first quest? From observing the ed60b91260 Awakened who stayed cddf21e600 in Beginner Village, 4b29f72246 I saw that 8d0e5035df they were always c828a4d781 happy after hunting 8836ebda61 just one or 21214ff7cf two goblins and b7f53ab508 clearing a quest.
