Chapter 1

After Fang Senyan looked around like a country bumpkin for a long time, confirming that there would be no more fees, he passed through the second silver gate and entered a spacious marble hall. There were about a dozen large, thick marble pillars in the hall, which looked very luxurious and high-end. An eye would occasionally appear on the pillars, secretly blink, and then disappear. If anyone dared to commit any theft here, they would obviously be caught in the act.

About a hundred goblins were sitting behind long counters made of beech wood, waiting for customers. Because there were basically no customers at this time, some were eating cookies baked in the shape of small animals, some were using magnifying glasses to examine the flaws in certain gems, and some were boredly tapping the scales in front of them with their fingers. These green-skinned, short fellows all had an indescribable shrewdness in their eyes.

Fang Senyan's goal on this trip was to find the manager of Gringotts, named Infinite Lang. Fortunately, this guy specially wore a red tuxedo and a green bow tie in a conspicuous place to mark his unique identity. He also had a very proud little mustache. Fang Senyan, considering that he would have to deal with this guy for a long time in the future, and most importantly, his poor few points of charm, used the "Insight" ability on this goblin.

Introduction: Goblins are greedy and intelligent creatures. They are profit-oriented, but most of them are trustworthy. They have outstanding minds in business and mechanics. As long as you are willing to spend money, they will work for anyone.
Some gifted goblins can even master some high-level arcane abilities, but they often use this ability to protect their wealth.
It is worth noting that goblins are one of the few races in the Nightmare World that are not disturbed by the basic attribute of "Charm." The only thing that can affect their senses and goodwill is money.

Looking at this series of introductions, Fang Senyan felt a sense of surprise in his heart. It seemed that things weren't too bad. The main reason why other contractors were unwilling to deal with these goblins was probably not because it would cost a lot of money, but because charm was ineffective against them, so they couldn't get extra benefits. But for a good-for-nothing like himself, whose charm was far below average, what did it matter? Ineffective was ineffective! At most, he would just spend money equally!

"Mr. Infinite, I'm sorry to disturb your work," Fang Senyan said politely as he walked up to the goblin. However, Mr. Infinite seemed to completely ignore him.

Fang Senyan was prepared for this:
"This is a letter of introduction given to me by Mr. Isis at the door."

Infinite raised his green eyelids from behind his writing desk and continued to pick up his quill pen:
"Come at seven fifty-nine and six seconds tomorrow morning! Oh! By the gold coins above, anyone who is not punctual will not be respected."

Then, Infinite threw the letter of introduction into the wastebasket next to him in front of Fang Senyan. Fang Senyan sighed helplessly, but immediately thought of the scene of those high-charm guys being frustrated in front of this goblin, and immediately felt refreshed and happy. So he immediately took out another "letter of recommendation" that he had prepared.

"Time is money, Mr. Infinite. I have always believed that, so I am willing to compensate for the time I just wasted with the most practical actions."

"Compensate?" When Infinite heard these two words, his two long, pointed ears twitched twice. Fang Senyan even clearly saw the fluff on the ears of this highly respected goblin standing up one by one.

"Yes, this is my sincere compensation." Fang Senyan handed over a ten-pound note.

Mr. Infinite's face finally became a little kinder, but he continued to busy himself with his own affairs and didn't say much. Fang Senyan gritted his teeth and drew a 50-pound note (Note: 50 pounds is currently the largest denomination of currency in the UK, just like the largest denomination of currency currently in circulation in China = 100 yuan) and handed it up.

This immediately had an immediate effect. Infinite immediately walked down with a smile on his face, picked up a disposable paper cup next to him, and poured a glass of water. Although Fang Senyan was a little thirsty, he resolutely chose to ignore the disposable paper cup that he didn't know how many people had received and the turbid liquid inside. But he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart: This blood-cow with 31 stamina finally enjoyed the treatment of 31 charm!

"Time is money! My friend, you have really spoken to the depths of my heart! Since our relationship is so close and friendly, then I will not hide it. Recently, something has happened that has given me a headache. My skin has faded!"

Speaking of this, Infinite waved his hands excitedly:
"Oh my god, I swear by gold coins, I have never experienced this kind of thing. From infancy to adolescence to adulthood, my skin has always been a healthy green. My dear Martha was fascinated by my complexion. But now, my skin is actually starting to show obvious signs of fading, which means that the envy, jealousy, and even romantic encounters of others will be far away from me! So recently, I can only grit my teeth and spend three shillings to consult my father about this problem..."

Speaking of this, the respectable Mr. Infinite's small eyes glanced around, and he lowered his voice:
"He told me that the livers of those strong centaurs might be of some use. But it must be fresh, fresh! The kind that is steaming and the fresh blood on it has not yet solidified!"

Fang Senyan happened to have seen the introduction of centaurs during his afternoon wanderings, as well as some relevant regulations, and immediately said with difficulty:
"But, Mr. Infinite, although my knowledge is still very shallow, I seem to have heard that centaurs seem to be protected by the Ministry of Magic."

Infinite squeezed his small eyes and said mysteriously:
"My friend, the meaning of rules lies in the fact that they will be broken."

Fang Senyan carefully recalled the information and clues provided by the Symbiotic Association. Probably because everyone was unwilling to deal with this extremely greedy goblin, the introduction and tasks about this Mr. Infinite were the most concise. So there was no relevant explanation and detailed information about the task he had received at this time, but Fang Senyan was also very adaptable:

"Okay, Mr. Infinite, given our friendship, I will definitely help you, but by the gold coins above, you can't possibly let me look for this damn creature in the entire United Kingdom. In addition, even in order for your skin to recover its charming green as soon as possible, I should also obtain some detailed information about this monster."

Infinite's mouth opened, and he was very happy to see that his interests were being considered everywhere, but the index finger and thumb of his left hand began to rub together instinctively. Fang Senyan cursed secretly in his heart, knowing that you can't catch a wolf without letting go of the child, so he simply took out all the remaining ordinary pounds on his body and stuffed them into his hand--anyway, there were people in the team who were willing to exchange general points for the pounds of this world.

Undoubtedly, Fang Senyan's action once again won Infinite's great favor. This creature, who completely ignored "charm," even took the initiative to drag a stool for Fang Senyan to sit on, and a dazzling chrysanthemum almost bloomed on his face. He said in an even lower voice:

"In Knockturn Alley number thirteen, you will definitely find what you want. They will ask you for a password, and you can answer shining gold coins."

Knockturn Alley? Fang Senyan had been there before, because one of the four stores for completing the Good Samaritan mission, Borgin and Burkes, was located in Knockturn Alley. This is where dark wizards hang out. Shrunken human heads, giant black spiders, snakes, withered human hands, bones, and so on are common commodities there. However, it is also full of crudely made inferior products and fakes. It is said that one unlucky guy in the team spent a high price to buy a magic wand that claimed to increase the power of his skills by 100%, but it turned out to be an ordinary baton...

However, Fang Senyan remembered very clearly that because Europeans are quite taboo about the number thirteen, it seems that even in a place like Knockturn Alley where dark wizards are rampant, there is no number thirteen. However, Infinite's expression was very certain, and although goblins are known for their greed, their credibility in doing things for money is still excellent. So after Fang Senyan walked out of Gringotts, he went straight to Knockturn Alley.

Knockturn Alley was already very deserted during the day, and even more desolate after nightfall. There were only a few faint green lights like fireflies, and from time to time there were a few miserable coughs and the calls of owls, which made it seem like he was in a cemetery. Fang Senyan was very bold, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he walked here--this world really exists with those ghosts and spirits. Finally, he walked to the end of Knockturn Alley without any surprises or dangers. He could see that the number 12 store was a place that sold human bone combs and horse-head fiddles. At this time, the doors were tightly closed, and only a skeleton hand on the doorknob was holding a sign that said "close" and shaking it up and down. Next to it was a vacant lot. Where would number 13 come from?
