Leaving the village, the three quickened their pace.
The goblin settlement they were tasked with was not too close to Stone Creek Village, located roughly between several villages.
That's why the villagers from several villages pooled their money and sought the Adventurer's Guild to handle this matter.
Unfortunately, the funds were insufficient, and several days passed without any adventurers accepting the task, until Gauss spotted it.
Following the stone creek upstream, nearby the village.
The babbling stream flowed incessantly.
This path was very familiar to Gauss from his memories.
He often used hand-made fish traps here to catch small fish for eating.
Worried that the traps and fish might be taken by other villagers, he usually went a bit further to find a spot with water plants on the bank for concealment.
The clear wind blew against him, nostalgia written all over Gauss's face.
Life truly is wondrous beyond compare...
