Sofia and Gauss were chatting casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the light and shadow at the door flickered, and a figure walked in lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome.\" Sofia greeted out of habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newcomer, however, looked straight past her, with a faint smile landing on Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, morning, Gauss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good morning,\" Gauss replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A friend of Gauss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sofia couldn’t help but scrutinize the guest carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful at first glance, but she had a unique charm, clear like morning dew in the forest, with a hint of wild resilience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her light blue long hair draped casually over her shoulders, her face clean and well-defined, her features soft and harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body was well-proportioned and strong, her steps agile. The smooth muscle lines of her calves betrayed a physique forged through long treks in the wild, in harmony with nature, definitely not a frail frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my partner, Aaliyah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss introduced the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sofia, the owner of the inn, has always been a caring friend of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaliyah shook hands with Sofia with ease and grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some brief pleasantries and under several curious glances from the inn’s lobby, Gauss and Aaliyah left the inn side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you sleep last night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well, very well indeed,\" Aaliyah answered instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her gaze fell on Gauss’s face and caught a trace of fatigue in his eyes, understanding dawning on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You didn’t rest well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A bit,\" Gauss didn’t brush it off lightly as he did with Sofia; facing Aaliyah, he didn’t hide, sharing the details of his nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t playing favorites, but he knew telling Sofia was pointless and would only add worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Aaliyah, as a Professional, might understand the possibilities behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A nightmare?\" Aaliyah nodded, her expression turning serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightmares in themselves weren’t unusual; everyone had them, but having just completed a special mission made it worth noting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about I use nature’s force to check your body? See if there’s any filth?\" Aaliyah suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 1st-level Spell she mastered was Animal Conversation, and she was learning the second 1st-level Spell, Goodberry, though she hadn’t mastered it yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither spell could assist in checking the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, nature’s force had a natural perception for corruption, pollution, and abnormal mental erosion, opposing them like water and fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agreeing, Gauss nodded, and the two found a clean bench by the street to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaliyah motioned for Gauss to turn slightly to the side, then raised her hand, her warm palm gently resting on the nape of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if drawing in the surrounding nature’s breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she engaged the Druidic Perception, naturally keen on life energy and natural balance, much like a precise scanner, meticulously \"scanning\" the invisible aura and energy fluctuations emanating from Gauss’s body, trying to detect any discordant \"odor\" or foreign invading filth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaliyah focused her mind, and her perception continued to extend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, she could feel the fatigue in Gauss’s aura, a result of a lack of sleep. Although his energy field carried some discordant \"noise,\" it was mostly normal; she didn’t capture any distinct characteristics of foreign evil, filth, or negative energy erosion from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed more like he simply had insomnia and didn’t sleep well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t sense anything unusual, though it might just be because I’m not skilled enough,\" she added honestly. \"But I sense that you might indeed be a bit tired. I noticed you take on tasks quite frequently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep an eye on it in the coming days. If that nightmare keeps occurring or something feels amiss, we’ll go to the church in Barry City for a more thorough check-up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood. Thank you,\" Gauss thanked sincerely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t particularly felt uncomfortable, asking Aaliyah to check was mainly for reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting a preliminary judgment, he temporarily set the matter aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two began their business for the day, heading to the commercial street to handle the loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss was quite surprised; Aaliyah turned out to be an adept negotiator hiding in plain sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Gauss, who usually only compared prices with three vendors and chose the one offering the most, a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So during the price negotiation, Gauss simply kept quiet and let Aaliyah handle everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the edges of this hide are damaged, look at the texture and toughness of the core area; it’s top quality! Strip these intact scales, add a bit of tanning, and it’s perfect material for wrist guards or knee-pads linings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rust? Boss, underneath this is real good steel. A little rust remover will make it as good as new, no need to reforge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Aaliyah’s negotiation, the loot that was expected to take an entire morning to sell was all sold off before noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the selling price far exceeded Gauss’s expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A whole 1 Gold and 10 Silver Coins!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss estimated that by his own means, he would have gotten 90 Silver Coins at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two immediately split the money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the weight of the purse, Gauss wore a satisfied smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold and 40 Silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His on-hand cash assets crossed the two-digit Gold Coin threshold once more.\u003C\u002Fp>",879,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.127Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1bf7a2cd5ad4a41e82252de09067f181910d4970447bcc5947b3a40b18619d3","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-132","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-130",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
