a secluded corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall I let it out now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaliyah asked Gauss with some concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in their team had already witnessed the power of this Dragon Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss reassured her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention that the Dragon Beast was already restrained by those ethereal golden chains, even if it had other thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its weakened strength, it most likely isn’t a match for Gauss’s team anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Gauss’s assurance, Aaliyah carefully released the Red Dragon Beast from the creature bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Aaliyah had only been placing some food into the creature bag regularly, without letting it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the Dragon Beast was healing, spending most of its time asleep, so it didn’t cause any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the vigilant gazes of Serdur and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scarlet figure suddenly appeared in the open area in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red Dragon Beast was also noticeably startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still spaced out, pondering dragon life, and in an instant, the world spun and it returned to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out an instinctive roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Gauss raised his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar~~~ cough~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Beast saw the familiar yet strange man before it, couldn’t help but tremble, its throat tightened, and the once majestic dragon roar suddenly stifled, gradually losing its sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss had left too strong an impression on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Gauss no longer had that imposing aura, at the sight of him, the Dragon Beast’s entire body seemed to ache faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time in its dragon life that someone had taught it such a severe lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gauss’s fist did not strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed his palm on the dragon scales, checking its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wounds had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fallen scales had regrown, noticeably lighter in color than the others, possibly needing time to blend in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like it’s completely healed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss circled around its body, inspecting for a while, and said somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, both he and the Dragon Beast had suffered significant injuries ten days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had someone to care for him, whereas the Dragon Beast relied purely on its own formidable self-healing ability, recovering bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body of a Giant Dragon is indeed exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any of the other ninety-nine percent of species in that situation, they likely wouldn’t have survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as a dragon is still breathing, it could recover injuries by simply eating dirt, it’s just a matter of speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that despite the Dragon Beast’s trembling body, it at least had no obvious aggressive tendencies, Gauss nodded secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This saved him some effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, although this Red Dragon Beast wasn’t fully grown, its size was sufficient for a mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even carrying a few more people wouldn’t be too much of an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, why not join us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss proposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel a certain intangible bond had formed between him and the Dragon Beast through the white egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his words should be roughly understood by the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing his unsolicited declaration, the Dragon Beast was about to raise its head and growl but saw Gauss raise his arm again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only lower its head silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon under a roof had no choice but to bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like you have no objections.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what the Dragon Beast would eat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was easy to handle—soil, plants, and the corpses of monsters he regularly defeated, all served as excellent food sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a dragon’s digestion ability was powerful enough to process most items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was whether they were willing to eat it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current nurturing strategy was to eat whatever was available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It certainly couldn’t just join Gauss’s team as Master Long, right? That would be too good a deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Gauss, this is a dragon saddle I crafted, the gift I promised you before.\" Albena suddenly took out a set of tack from her own armor’s storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss looked at the large item in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to utter a polite refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really did need such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This set of tack also reached the level of magic equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main body was made of specially tanned brown leather, with smoothly polished scarlet metal components embedded in key areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire set was aesthetically pleasing and streamlined, appearing to fit the curves of the Dragon Beast’s back perfectly, with a layer of soft and delicate cushioned fur on the seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue magic Crystal Stone was embedded at the rear of the saddle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This saddle can reduce wind resistance for the rider during flight, enhancing comfort during the journey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you try putting it on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else dared to attempt this task; only Gauss could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the Dragon Beast seemed to recognize only him; while it wouldn’t attack others, it exhibited similar stress responses when approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you; I really like this gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After expressing his gratitude, Gauss took the heavy saddle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Albena had probably spent these days working on this dragon saddle at the blacksmith’s shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Albena’s guidance, Gauss successfully placed the dragon saddle on the reluctant Dragon Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overall fit was quite precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Albena, as magical equipment, this saddle could adjust to fit the Dragon Beast’s body during its growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the saddle was secured, the Dragon Beast shook its neck, letting out a low grumbling sound from its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, get used to it.\" Gauss patted its scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visually, this set of tack elevated the appearance of the Red Dragon Beast significantly once worn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scarlet metal components reflected a chilling gleam under the sunlight, and the entire set appeared to \"grow\" naturally from the dragon’s body, without any sense of discord in its design.\u003C\u002Fp>",987,"2026-06-05T18:36:48.637Z",1,"novelbin.me","2bfd560b44aeeaa1daf9f6822dbd7e6e81bab130d71cf9c97873fb7e513e6656","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-503","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-501",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
