Chapter 226: Chapter 189: Goblin Slayer’s Growing Fa
A fence that isn’t very high may not be able to stop large demons, but for small goblins and kobolds, it can provide so protection and early warning.
At the gate of the village entrance, two young n held simple spears, guarding the entrance.
From afar, they saw Gauss riding a chocobo and his Half-Snake Man companion, their faces lighting up with delight.
As Gauss slowly steered the chocobo towards the gate, their expressions had not yet fully subsided, which Gauss noticed.
A trace of curiosity flashed in his heart.
"Hello, my companion and I are the adventurers who accepted this mission. Please open the gate for us. Here are our commission papers and..."
"Goblin Slayer, we’ve heard of you!"
"Hm?" Gauss looked at the excited young villagers, a bit flustered.
The strange title appeared again!
Besides the confusion, he was also sowhat curious.
If it was in a small place like Gray Rock Town, where there aren’t many adventurers, being given such a title could make sense.
But how is it that even in this remote village near Barry City, people have begun to recognize him?
It shouldn’t be, right?
Is it possible that Barry City had an old "Goblin Slayer," and he’s been mistaken for him?
Yes, that could be true!
"Did you guys mistake
for soone else?"
As they opened the gate for him, he asked the question on his mind.
"I just arrived near Barry."
"No mistake, it’s you. The handso mage in the black robe, the chocobo, and the Half-Snake Man companion, you don’t have to be modest, we have all heard of your reputation. By the way, your na is Gauss, right?"
Listening to the young villagers list out all the matching traits, Gauss initially thought it could be soone else, two teams with the sa configuration—a small probability but not zero. But when they ntioned his na, his heart finally settled.
No doubt, it really was him.
When did he beco this "famous"?
He had no idea at all!
"Yes, I am Gauss." Gauss nodded helplessly. "If convenient, would you tell
how you know about ?"
"Well, at the village tavern." The two young villagers didn’t hesitate to tell Gauss directly. "Just a couple of days ago, a passing caravan talked about your exploits."
"A caravan? Where did they hear about
from?"
"That I don’t know. These small caravans often do business in various villages, maybe they heard about your fa from another village." The young man looked at Gauss with a hint of admiration. "They say wherever you go, the evil green-skinned goblins can’t hide, all of them died by your hand."
Unlike in Gray Rock Town, where other professionals used it to deride and mock Gauss,
As ordinary villagers, the most common monster threat they face cos from goblins; most villagers don’t have much real sense of the legendary creatures like giant dragons, devils, and giants, as they are too far from real life.
But goblins are indeed a visible threat.
A professional who ignores the myriad of precious treasures in dungeons, but instead tirelessly kills goblins, kobolds, and other monsters threatening the common villages, regardless of the scale, this spirit can’t help but move people.
Moreover, the presence of a Half-Snake Man teammate itself also adds more morability and recognition to the team.
For a ti, his fa subtly spread among the countryside outside Barry City.
Gauss listened to the young villagers’ endless chatter.
Vaguely, he sensed so kind of boosting.
Though he indeed accepted many normal tasks during this ti, it’s not as great as they say.
The reason he didn’t explore the maze was that he was waiting for Aaliyah to return from her retreat.
And later, the rhythm of adventure activities with a mix of maze-exploration and commission-execution would continue.
He wouldn’t just beco a specialist killer for small monsters.
Because collecting treasures and special monster species is easier in mazes.
Besides the kill total, he also wants to expand his illustrated book by hunting more different new monster species.
Is soone putting a tall hat on ? Are they building
up? Who is it? What’s the purpose?
Gauss couldn’t quite understand.
And why "Goblin Slayer"?
At the mont, there’s no proof, just a vague suspicion in his heart, so after a brief struggle, he put it aside.
"Uncle, the Goblin Slayer is here! Those monsters are dood!"
"Oh wow, so this is the Goblin Slayer. He’s really handso."
Walking along the country dirt road, listening to the ongoing discussions around him, Gauss felt a bit embarrassed.
But seeing the genuine anticipation in others, he couldn’t ignore it.
Perhaps, what he didn’t find a troubleso small monster, is indeed quite a concern for many ordinary villagers?
For the villagers, perhaps the world doesn’t need a giant dragon slayer, but absolutely needs a goblin buster!
After hesitating for a mont, Gauss still waved toward the crowd, as a response to their welco.
"Captain, you’re really popular," Serdur rarely teased with a wink.
"..."
Gauss fell into silence.
Not sure if he should agree.
Although for a Level 2 Professional, he indeed possesses quite a "reputation," whether good or bad, but it’s only limited to these small villages; in Barry City, he’s still an unknown ordinary adventurer.
Is this considered popularity? He was not sure.
It seed that for so inexplicable reason, people had decided on this title for him.
Though he didn’t mind it, it did leave him with complicated feelings.
This complexity wasn’t because at the mont, being a low-level professional and having a "title," is an achievent and recognition from others.
However, he didn’t think he’d stay at the low-level professional stage for his whole life, which made him slightly worried.
