store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss watched him picking and choosing among a pile of trinkets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you talking to me, sir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dreil, my name is Dreil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dreil sneakily lifted his head and stole a few glances at Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time someone of such noble status had proactively inquired about his name, making him feel a bit flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not enough money?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss saw that he was selecting toys among the cheapest second-hand cotton dolls and caught his hesitant expression, so he spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the more delicately made rabbit dolls, Gauss had seen him pick up and put down several times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll keep looking.\" Dreil didn’t answer directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this one then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss took the light red doll himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re short on money, I can help cover a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say he’d pay for the gift in full; although this amount was nothing to him, since it was a gift Dreil was picking for someone else, a complete gift might dilute the sentiment, which wouldn’t be ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because he truly thought his sister would really like the doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, thank you very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just don’t call me a fool next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the counter, they packed up, and checked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss covered the remaining 14 Copper Coins for Dreil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him carefully carrying the gift-wrapped package, Gauss’s lips curled up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, happiness indeed cannot be measured by money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The joy brought by this few-dozen-Copper-Coin second-hand doll wouldn’t be less than that of an expensive trinket costing tens or hundreds of Gold Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really appreciate it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll definitely repay you if I get the chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder if you could tell me your name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gauss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dreil bowed deeply to Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry home now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful the shopkeepers don’t spot you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Gauss’s reminder, Dreil didn’t care about manners anymore, waved goodbye to him, and disappeared nimbly like a little fox at the end of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss watched him leave, and the smile quickly faded from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He subtlely looked at a certain spot on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wasn’t mistaken, the gaze that made him uncomfortable just now came from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like he was talking to Dreil, but in reality, he was always alert to the movements around the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of being watched wasn’t an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow loomed over his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hated being secretly observed like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze fixed tightly on a male figure walking away quickly with his back turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dressed in the most ordinary linen clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a stack of newspapers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though there were many pedestrians on the street, his agility allowed him to skillfully and effortlessly weave through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was like he had a pair of god’s-eye viewpoints, making it nearly impossible for the targeted person to shake him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between him and the newspaper vendor was closing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, he does have something to hide?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss could feel it, the person was clearly avoiding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After realizing that Gauss had spotted him, he didn’t even bother pretending and sprinted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t squeeze in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move aside, don’t hold up our delivery!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A convoy blocked Gauss’s path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he leaped up, his body as nimble as a light bird, tapping the stacked goods with his toe, and vaulted over the wagon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body flickered through the crowd like a phantom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, he was right behind the suspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm lightly rested on the person’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person suddenly went limp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His whole body slumped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suspect fell to the ground, thick blood flowing from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly soaking the ground beside his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone’s dead!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd burst into terrified screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instinctive fear of death made the civilians scramble away from the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a \"vacuum zone\" formed around the corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss was the only figure still moving in the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss crouched down, placing a finger gently under the person’s nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Already dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a patrol surrounded the site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Put down your weapon, submit to an inspection!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss calmly raised his hands, indicating he was unarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, the soldiers surrounding him were armed to the teeth but still shook like leaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did someone commit murder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks quite handsome? Probably not him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, you’re wrong; the good-looking ones are more likely to turn bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant crowd, maintaining a safe distance, looked over, speculating and whispering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Retreat! Everyone step back! Maintain the scene!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A steady, authoritative command came from behind the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd parted, and a middle-aged military officer, donned in fine chainmail and bearing the captain’s insignia, strode in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a rugged face, sporting a thick mustache, his sharp eyes scanning the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fallen deceased, the blood on the ground, and Gauss in the center, seemingly calm, with his hands raised in surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured for the soldiers to relax their weapons slightly, but the encirclement was not lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>",883,"2026-06-05T18:36:49.310Z",1,"novelbin.me","b90b4b4ff4d5f9888dcb1bb3c4808aedad3fd55de59b8b75e676f5c4d96112ef",null,"i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-599",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
