There are no vacant houses for you to rest in, you’d better... continue on your way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His refusal was straightforward and even somewhat cold and inhuman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost dark now, yet asking travelers to continue their journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Sorin immediately furrowed his brow into a knot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a muffled voice, he spoke: \"Hey! Old man! We’re not staying for free! We said we’d pay! In this wilderness, where do you want us to find a place to sleep, are we supposed to sleep in the wild and feed the wolves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled by the dwarf’s loud voice and his somewhat fierce expression, the old man subconsciously took half a step back, but stubbornly shook his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... it just can’t be done! Money... money is useless too. You should leave quickly, before it’s completely dark...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, there was even a hint of pleading in the old man’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Priest Elton’s voice suddenly called out, interrupting the old man’s increasingly urgent urging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gray eyes did not look at the old man but instead gazed in the direction of the other dilapidated houses in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are there sick people in the village?\" His tone was not questioning but carried a certain certainty. \"More than one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first entered the village, he hadn’t felt anything unusual, but after staying for a while, he finally sensed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s body jolted abruptly, and his cloudy eyes filled with horror and vigilance as he looked at them, gripping his cane tightly with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t... don’t talk nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elton stepped forward and gently and firmly raised the holy symbol in his hand, a soft white light flowed around him, emitting a calming tranquil aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, please do not be afraid. I am a priest, serving the light, perhaps... may I take a look at those who are ill? Even if they cannot be healed, at least the Holy Light can relieve their pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Holy Light on Elton and his sincere and gentle face, the old man’s resistance slightly diminished, but when his gaze shifted to a certain place, he instantly became hard and cold again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, all of you, leave Rolling Stone Village quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss and the others exchanged glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dwarf Sorin rubbed the back of his head, then looked at the others and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go first and talk later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the many wary gazes from the villagers, the group continued along the village path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they hadn’t gone far when Sorin stopped the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He seemed very afraid of us.\" Gauss recalled the old man’s expression just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it a demon?

Would it be better if we went farther?\" Gauss confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just outside this suspicious Rolling Stone Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorin casually rubbed the back of his head: \"Let’s camp here, nearby the village, there are neither wolves nor big cats, we can sleep more peacefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can we really feel at ease...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss silently retorted in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Sorin had made a decision, and considering that he was the organizer of this relic exploration activity after all, Gauss swallowed back the words he had in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe Sorin couldn’t see the anomaly in the village, but knowing there was a problem and still choosing to stay must mean there was a reason he was unable to share easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they cleared a flat piece of land outside the village, built a fire, and set up tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sorin continued to prepare dinner, smoke quickly rose above the temporary camp, with strands of enticing aroma carried by the evening breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes were similar to those at noon, just a few more vegetarian dishes added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss ate heartily, even contemplating whether to consider culinary skills as a priority for the next member in his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as everyone was focused on their meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender figure suddenly flashed and emerged in the shadows beside the campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a girl who looked about twenty, wearing a coarse sackcloth dress that was washed to a faint white, with patches sewn on, so thin it seemed a gust of wind could knock her over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was pale, her lips bloodless, but her eyes were very large, with pupils firmly fixed on the food by the campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sudden appearance was so abrupt that Sorin, who was engrossed in dinner, almost spit out his drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Nancy seemed to notice first and had already moved a few steps closer to where Gauss was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you spare me some?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She licked her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tongue was sharp and thin, not appearing as a normal human’s should, and upon closer inspection, her skin was starting to peel and rot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss silently observed her, then reached over to grab a skewer of roasted meat from the grill, slowly handing it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, just as Gauss’s hand was about to get close to the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her skin seemed to be torn from the inside by countless small claws, bursting open dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp claw covered in glossy gray-black rat fur lunged towards Gauss like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss suddenly had a Fine Steel Longsword in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>",984,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","2041ba19e2f4bc1aa623b06bf9466a78290fd0a80aea9b3ce760f0878b71210f","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-426","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-425",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
