A question with the beauty of or.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, for a moment, he was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-snake man, seeing that he hadn’t answered for a long time, had a fleeting look of disappointment on his face, but quickly hid it, and said nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry to intrude. If it’s difficult, then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No no... it’s just that we still have other team members, so I need to consult her opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party about to leave, Gauss quickly called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the half-snake man’s speed, he might have gone far if he had hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gauss was indeed a bit surprised by the half-snake man’s request to join the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A visible 3-star badge professional, and a priest similar to a clergy profession, couldn’t find a fixed team? This really puzzled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this confusion only lingered in his heart for a moment, as he didn’t become suspicious of the half-snake man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before today, although they had only interacted three times, he could already sense that the other party had a decent personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first time was at the inn, where the innkeeper’s refusal was blatantly obvious, offering excuses to prevent him from staying. He didn’t show a hint of anger at any time, just silently left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second time was on the first floor of the maze; against a hostile group of adventurers, when he had a clear advantage, he didn’t kill them but only taught them a lesson before letting them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the bracelet that caused a dispute in the end was given to him, who had only been watching the whole time without intervening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final third time was after he had passed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the instance that most revealed a person’s moral character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the unconscious and defenceless Gauss, he could easily have killed him and looted all his possessions, gaining at least three-digit gold coins worth of spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the death of a Level 2 Professional in the maze wouldn’t cause any ripples; apart from Aaliyah being saddened, no one else would be concerned about Gauss’s death in the maze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging from the outcome, Gauss was unharmed, without losing a single bit of his belongings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To many wily bottom adventurers, this was already a saintly level of morality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether it was possible that Aaliyah was nearby, and he wanted to commit a crime but didn’t get the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s even more nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Professional of at least Level 3, himself a half-snake man with keen perception, as long as he didn’t want to be discovered, he had a thousand ways to avoid Aaliyah in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss even suspected that he might have been the one to actively seek out Aaliyah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for subsequently leaving the maze with Aaliyah and returning to Barry might also be that he didn’t trust a Level 1 little druid to handle a comatose teammate without encountering ill-willed adventurers posing danger, so he accompanied them the entire way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numerous interactions left Gauss with an excellent impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only point of suspicion was why he was being so kind to him, to the extent that it seemed excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe that any half-snake man adventurer would treat all other human adventurers this way; otherwise, he wouldn’t have time for anything else, as he would spend most of his time just being an ambassador of goodwill, helping others altruistically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only understand it as some of his actions had earned the other party’s approval?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, my teammate Aaliyah is here now, but she’s busy with something else. Would you mind coming with me later to ask her opinion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Aaliyah mostly followed his opinions recently, apart from following medical advice to control his diet, the matter of adding a team member was not one he could decide on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Makes sense.\" The half-snake man quietly let out a breath. \"My name is Serdur, and you don’t have to introduce yourself. I know you, Gauss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-snake man Serdur extended his hand proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Serdur.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss shook hands with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we’ll meet back here in two hours, right at noon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time he and Aaliyah had agreed to meet up was in two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, see you in two hours.\" Serdur waved to Gauss and then swiftly glided away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss clutched the card and walked toward his training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gliding a distance away, Serdur was still pondering the recent encounter with Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still felt a bit unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had his usually calm self suddenly felt an impulse, prompting him to make a request to join a team?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fully prepared to become a lone adventurer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had already said it, he didn’t dwell on it excessively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he thought carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t entirely due to the faint companion aura emanating from Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case, he would have teamed up with other half-snake men of his race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Gauss’s eyes showing nothing unusual the first time they met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more significant factors might have stemmed from seeing the mutual trust between Gauss and the druid lady, which he envied greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially upon learning from the druid lady that Gauss had fallen into a coma trying to protect his teammates by holding off danger; it increased his impression of Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, while he shied away from contact with strangers, he still yearned for a trusting, stable team relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>",940,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4d4e2b39e9c6727b1796b06c6f74aee4625f3db624dbdc03ecef394169d1460","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-208","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-206",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
