Tick.......

Tick......

A drop of dew fell from the fern's slender leaf and dripped onto Hoffa's open mouth.

He woke up from his sleep, and when he woke up, he covered his eyes with his hands because the light around him was too harsh. It took a while for his eyes to adjust to the bright light around him.

Surrounded by wooden boxes, wearing a goose-yellow shirt and blue jeans, Aglaia leaned against the volcanic rock wall not far from him, tilted his head, and slept deeply.

Last night they were so tired that they slept in the middle of a pile of discarded boxes like homeless people.

Hoffa glanced at his watch, and it was noon. The sun shines on the valley floor and shines on the chandelier-like dome, creating some magical effects from time to time. The surrounding plants are green, and the surrounding ores sparkle in the sun.

Some particularly quirky butterflies fly around, and some worms that look like coral and knotted iris crawl over the leaves. There are green and red, and some lichens grow on the volcanic rocks behind them.

The view of the magical realm made Hoffa feel much better.

He stood up, tired joints clicking. It may have knocked over two wooden chests as he got up, making a noise, and Aglaia woke up dimly.

"Early. Hoffa held out his hand.

Aglaia grabbed his arm and stood up. She has a pair of rabbit ears on her head, which is funny and a little cute.

Hoffa thought to himself that the dragon-riding wizard had fortunately not turned her into a pig or some other creature. Otherwise it's terrible.

"Let's find something to eat. Aglaia rubbed her stomach and looked up at the drawbridge, "I hope this place isn't as depressed as Diagon Alley." ”

The two walked onto the drawbridge, which was mostly made up of young wizards who had come to fight the war, mostly in their twenties. Since it was daytime, the surroundings were a little clearer.

There are not only suspension bridges, but also many stone pillars made of magic. It looks very much like the Thousand Needles Stone Forest in a later game World of Warcraft.

There are a few small shops scattered in between, which are very inconspicuous in the midst of the goods and transportation equipment.

found an ordinary fast food restaurant, and the two sat down. Soon a house-elf in an apron came up to serve, and since it was wartime, there was nothing to order, only some ordinary food like bacon, bread, and water.

However, it is not easy for the hungry two to find food.

Eating lunch, Hoffa remembered what he hadn't said last night, so he asked, "Do you still want to continue selling medicine?"

"Otherwise, give up halfway?" said Aglaia, nibbling on bread and looking at the disabled soldiers around her, absentmindedly.

"Are you really not going back?"

"I'll naturally go back after selling the medicine. Aglaia gave Hoffa a blank look: "Don't let me run for nothing." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Hoffa leaned closer to his head and whispered, "Aglaia, I always feel that this matter is not so simple, when I was in St. Mungo, I saw a soldier bitten in half by a dragon. This is most likely related to the man who rode the dragon. ”

"I understand, but I also have to get this batch of medicines in place. Aglaia also whispered.

"Why?"

"That's the medicine sold to Gringotts' logistics support program. ”

After a pause, she shook her head: "My mother scrapped the project, and she didn't think it would bring any money, so she threw the contract in the trash, and I picked it up. ”

Hoffa was stunned: "Are you stupid or not? Your mother must be smarter than you, she doesn't do anything, why do you do it? What if there is a pit ahead." ”

"It's stupid, but you see. ”

She pulled a crumpled letter from her bag and handed it to Hoffa.

Hoffa put down the biscuit and took it, the paper was rubbed vigorously, and there were some inexplicable water stains on it. But the handwriting is unusually neat.

----------------------------------------------------

[Dear Elise, I haven't been in touch for a long time, I don't know if Aglaia is healthy and happy, but I would like to know.

I'm sorry I can't go back for her birthday this time, I really can't get out of the way. I need a lot of medications, therapeutic drugs. If you can, please ship 100% of the medicine to Heierzburg, Wales, trust me, I will definitely go back next year.

Love you, Fatil. 】

-----------------------------------------------------

The byline is Fatil.

"Fatil?" asked Hoffa.

"Fatil de la Ses. That's right, that's my father's name. It was his project, so I came over. ”

It dawned on Hoffa: "You want to see your father." ”

Aglaia nodded: "I saw him once last year, and in less than three minutes, he left without saying a few words to me. But this time, I wondered what he had been doing all these years. ”

Hoffa didn't expect this to be the case, no wonder this little girl who didn't worry about food or clothing would make such a bold decision. It's just, her father, will he really be in this place?

He folded the crumpled piece of paper and handed it back, "You should have told me a long time ago." ”

Aglaia took the letter and put it away, "I'm sorry, it's my personal goal. Moreover, it does not delay the making of money. I think Gringotts will give us a lot of money from this batch of medicines, right?"

"Now that you've made your decision, who should we go to, your father?"

"No, I don't know where my father is, but there's a Gringotts steward here who specializes in buying medicines. ”

Aglaia pulled another business card out of her bag.

"You see, it's this goblin. ”

Hoffa saw that it was an extremely old business card, with the Gringotts stamp on it, and the name of a goblin. Take a closer look.

Lal Fa.

Hoffa looked at the name and felt as if he had heard it somewhere. But if you really want to, you can't think of it at all.

After a brief lunch, the two headed straight for the ultimate mission. Aglaia walked ahead, stopping from time to time to ask for directions.

Hoffa followed her, checking his own sea of knowledge.

At this moment, the progress bar of the secret realm exploration has increased by six percent, this secret realm is not big, it is not small, if you can stay here for four or five days, you should be able to explore fifty percent.

......

......

They hadn't gone far before they came to a cave in the Heertzburg mountain wall.

In front of the cave there was a makeshift tent, and near the tent was a pile of various wooden boxes of goods, as well as several tin boxes, one of which was slamming.

A group of wizards are at a goblin's table, queuing up to receive money.

Hoffa paused for a moment in front of the large tin box, and before he could take a few more looks, Aglaia pulled him along.

"Don't look at it, we still have things to do. ”

He withdrew his gaze and followed the girl to the cave.

In the sunlight, Hoffa saw two huge silhouettes standing at the mouth of the cave. When I got closer, I saw that it was two mountain monsters more than six meters tall.

They have brown and black skin, knee-high arms, hunched backs, and high bulging muscles all over their bodies.

This is not the kind of stinky, tattered mountain monster that Hoffa learned about in the original books.

They wore neat leather armor and steel braces over their mouths, but their eyes were blindfolded, and two elves in big red robes rode on the backs of two trolls, holding the reins in their hands.

As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the tent, a fairy tugged at the reins, and the mountain monster beneath it raised its arm, blocking their way.

"Who are you looking for?"

The goblin on the back of the mountain monster asked coldly.

"Yes. ”

Aglaia took out the business card: "I'm looking for Larfa." ”

The blindfolded mountain monster stretched out his hand, and the accurate hand of the business card. Handed it to the back. The goblin on his back reached out and took a look, and immediately showed a knowing smile:

"It turned out to be Miss Drazes, I thought your family had given up on this project. ”

Aglaia didn't have any expression, she said, "I brought the medicine, where is my father?"

The fairy did not reply, and with a tug of the reins, the mountain monster beneath him lifted the curtain and made a gesture of please, like a large waiter.

When he passed by the knees of the mountain monsters, Hoffa looked up and saw that these goblins had shaved all the armpit hair of the mountain monsters clean, and they were a little too exquisite.

It's just that the smile of the fairy riding on the back of the mountain monster seems to have a slight mockery tone, which makes people feel weird.

Entering the tent, there is a cave here and outside, a mountain of goods outside, and a chaotic crowd of wizards. But it's surprisingly quiet.

A young leprechaun quickly greeted her, with long flapping ears, somewhat high cheekbones, and a double ponytail.

"Please go this way, Mr. Larfa is waiting for you. It said sharply.

"It's only Falfa, isn't Fatil Drazes there?" asked Aglaia.

"I don't know, you have to ask Larfa yourself this question. The goblin grinned, and the teeth in her mouth were sharp and sharp.

Aglaia stopped talking.

Following the cave, the two of them walked to a room in the depths of the cave, where the goblin opened the door and Aglaia walked in.

Hoffa glanced at the leprechaun and wanted to ask her if she wanted to go in.

But before she could say anything, the goblin said, "You go in too." ”

Then, the elf pressed him down the back and pushed him into the room.

The style of the room is extraordinarily luxurious, it doesn't look like a room in a cave. Torches burn on the walls, and under the firelight, there are all kinds of treasures, from porcelain to silver sculptures.

A bald old leprechaun was leaning on the couch, infusion, it was wrinkled, with two long transparent infusion tubes stuck in its nose, few hairs on its head, and a cane in its hand.

At the sight of the guy, Hoffa's eyes immediately widened.

He finally knew why he was so familiar when he heard the name Ralfa.

Isn't this the old goblin I saw for the first time at Gringotts? the one who had been cheated out of five thousand Galleons by Indor. At the time, it had pretended to be Sylby.

Suddenly seeing this guy, Hoffa felt a little weak. But he touched his hair and was a little relieved.

Compared to two years ago, my appearance has changed a lot, not only has I grown taller, but my eye color and hair color have all changed. You won't be immediately recognized.

The leprechaun held the old goblin's back and helped it up, and the old goblin sat down on the sofa and grinned, "Miss Drazes... Long time no see. The last time I saw you, you were half the size of a goblin. ”

It was talking to Aglaia, but its eyes were fixed on Hoffa.

The old goblin pointed at Hoffa: "This is ......"

"My friend. Seeing that the old goblin always didn't look at him when he spoke, Aglaia moved to Hoffa with some displeasure and asked, "Did my father ask you to do something here?"

"Let me do something?" the old goblin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.

"Oops, yes, yes. Mr. D'Erress and I had a very good personal relationship, very good. ”

"Give him the medicine. Aglaia said to Hoffa.

Hoffa wiped Aglaia's bag clean and handed it over.

Larfa took it, but when he took it, he stared at Hoffa's face without blinking. This made Hoffa's heart a little furious, this old goblin had paid more attention to himself than to Aglaia since he entered the door, could he really recognize his identity?

As he thought in a mess, the old goblin had already withdrawn his gaze: "Let me ask you a little, Saint Mungo has banned the outflow of medicines, how did these medicines come about. ”

"I refined it. ”

Aglaia said proudly.

"Ahh The goblin sighed softly: "You really have the demeanor of your family's heir." ”

"What about my pay, and what about my father. ”

"Mr. Drazeth, he's not here for a while. Lalfa said, and it began to look at Hoffa again.

"No, where did he go?" Aglaia asked, frowning.

Larfa smiled lightly, "I don't know, kid. Your father was a prodigal son, and he never revealed his whereabouts to anyone. ”

There was a moment of silence.

Aglaia's expression was a little disappointed: "Forget it, you can give me the payment." ”

But Lalfa didn't move, and asked, "You haven't seen your father much, have you?" ”

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking a little. The fairy sighed and said, "When I see you, I always think of my fourth wife, she is so beautiful and so smart.

It's a pity that she is a human after all, and the time she can live is too short. ”

Aglaia frowned, "What exactly are you talking about?"

Hoffa turned his head sideways, and an ominous premonition gradually rose.

Larfa: "Sometimes, I have to sigh that blood is really a great and inexplicable power, even if you have never met your father, you can still chase him so relentlessly. Miss Drazeth, tell me, is family a very important thing in your mind?"

Aglaia took a subtle step towards Hoffa's side, "Why do you talk about so many irrelevant things, what about my reward?"

"I really should have given you the pay, I thought so two days ago. ”

"What do you mean by yes. ”

"Two days ago, my grandson was injured. I didn't feel comfortable with him in St. Mungo's treatment, so I brought him back. After all, he was the son of my beloved fourth wife. ”

With that, Larfa Bolton clapped his hands.

There was a creaking sound from the side.

The side door opens. A man slumped in a wheelchair and on a dripping drip was pushed out of the side chamber of the room, covered in bandages and with only one eye on his face.
