Supplies like water, antidotes, and food. Tools for special terrains like lock-pickers, climbing ropes, and reconnaissance toolsets, etc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was recruiting personnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used letters to contact some of his former apprentice friends, most of whom were quite capable, and the primary aim of this more than a week was also to await the gathering of other team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, not everyone can simultaneously free themselves during this period; some time had to be reserved for others to finish their current commissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, the first meeting place for this temporary team preparing to explore the micro-dungeon was set in a tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bitter Wormwood Town, Oak Barrel Tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps due to the local characteristics, even the tavern in Bitter Wormwood Town carried a hint of a refreshing herbal fragrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fragrance imparted a touch of calm to what should have been a coarse and noisy place, reminiscent somewhat of the quiet bars from Gauss’s past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss pushed open the door and stepped into the hall, looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally spotted Lawrence’s figure in a booth near the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him were several unfamiliar men and women, who must be the companions for this temporary exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me introduce you, this is Caster Gauss. Quite formidable indeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lawrence first introduced Gauss to the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest had already heard from Lawrence before Gauss arrived that there was an apprentice caster joining the expedition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now seeing him in person, with his slightly youthful appearance, they judged that he probably hadn’t been an adventurer for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adventurers with a bit of work experience, constantly traveling outdoors, facing the elements, found it difficult to maintain such fair and smooth skin like his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, they exchanged glances, internally filled with doubts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Lawrence have befriended a wealthy young heir who joined out of curiosity for dungeon exploring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, they had misunderstood Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss, born a farmer’s boy, had far from the poise he carried now; just a couple of months ago, he was a grimy little Kalami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, over time, with proper nutrition, and as his physical attributes improved, his aura became more impressive, feeling as though he had been reborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss noticed the many glances thrown his way, sensing the emotions behind them, but he wasn’t intimidated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adventurers ultimately rely on strength, and he reckoned that with his current strength, no bottom adventurer could surpass him, so he rarely cared about outside opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at everyone and greeted them confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This calm demeanor earned him some points, easing the speculations in the minds of some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began introducing themselves one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After introductions, Gauss gained some understanding of his dungeon companions; including himself and Lawrence, there were seven in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were two warrior apprentices, human Warrior Liam and half-beastman Warrior Sok.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wandering Apprentice Edith. The brawny Priest Apprentice Adrian, and Ranger Apprentice Bianca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As well as apprentices like Caster Lawrence and Gauss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Lawrence, who appeared somewhat indulgent, the rest were all robust, evident from their athletic build alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization made Gauss nod internally in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also hoped his teammates were reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a half-day team training, Gauss quickly grew closer to the once unfamiliar members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teammates recognized the strength Gauss showcased during training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw what—an athletic individual, skilled in attack and defense, who even mastered commendable swordsmanship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His diverse abilities somewhat exceeded their understanding of a mere apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t curious about how Gauss trained; it didn’t much concern them, as long as they knew he was a teammate in this exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gauss, want to hit the tavern again tonight?\" Half-Beastman Warrior Sok casually draped an arm over Gauss’s shoulder, speaking in a forthright tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most half-beastmen were similarly straightforward, outspoken, action over words, and revered strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their thoughts often mirrored their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As did Sok’s current display of enthusiasm and friendliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Funny enough, last night’s first meeting at the tavern, he was the one lounging coldly in his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think I’ll pass. We’re setting off tomorrow; best to drink less tonight.\" Gauss, feeling slightly uneasy under Sok’s powerful aura, politely declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, fair enough!\" Sok agreed, nodding in agreement with Gauss’s point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene made Lawrence facepalm on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, even Lawrence wasn’t that familiar with Sok, who he remembered as impulsive, straightforward, and often unintentionally offensive. Who knew this rough fellow could be this understanding?\u003C\u002Fp>",795,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.127Z",1,"novelbin.me","856e723dac94bd61ea08b63e65047f4968e31b5f10cecf34b08e657b678abfd3","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-283","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-282",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
