Chapter 35: A Race That Defies Charisma
After Fang Senyan looked around like a hillbilly for a long time, confirming that there would be no more charges, he passed through the second silver gate and entered a spacious marble hall. There are about a dozen large and thick marble pillars in this hall, which look very luxurious and high-end, and an eye will appear on the pillar from time to time, which will secretly blink and disappear, and if you dare to do anything stealing here, then you will obviously be caught.
About a hundred or so goblins sit behind a long counter made of beech wood, waiting for customers to arrive. Because there were basically no customers at this time, some were eating biscuits that had been baked in the shape of small animals, some were using a magnifying glass to observe the imperfections of some gemstones, and some were boredly flicking the scales in front of them with their fingers. These green-skinned little creatures have an indescribable shrewdness in their eyes.
The goal of Fang Senyan's trip was to find the presiding officer of Gringotts, named Infinit. Franc. Fortunately, in order to show his unique identity, this guy specially wore a red tuxedo and a green bow tie and sat in a conspicuous place, with a very proud mustache.
Infinit. Franc Goblin Clan.
He is 3 feet 2 inches (0.92 m) tall and weighs 33 kg???
Agile???
Physical???
Perceive???
Charm???
Intelligence 50 spirit??
Basic family name???
Ability???
Synopsis: Goblins are greedy and intelligent creatures, they are mercenary, mostly trustworthy, they have a very good mind in business and mechanics, and they will work for anyone if they can afford it.
Some gifted goblins can even master certain high-level arcane abilities, though they often use them 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 caste of "charisma", and the only thing that can affect their senses and favorability is money.
Fang Senyan looked at this series of introductions, but a feeling of surprise surged in his heart. It doesn't seem too bad after all, and the main reason why the rest of the contractors are reluctant to deal with these goblins is probably not because it costs a lot of money, but because they are afraid that the charm will not work for them, so they will not be able to get additional benefits. But what does it matter to yourself, a waste material whose charm is far below average? If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. At most, it's spending money equally!
"Mr. Infinit, I'm sorry to interrupt your work." Fang Senyan walked up to the goblin and said politely. But the Mr. Infinit seemed to ignore him at all.
Fang Senyan was prepared:
"This is a letter of introduction handed to me by Mr. Isis at the door."
Infinit lifted her green eyelids from behind her desk and continued to pick up the quill:
"Come tomorrow morning at 7:59:06, oh! Gold coins are on it, and everyone who is not punctual will not be respected by others. ”
Then in front of Fang Senyan, Infinit threw the letter of introduction into the paper basket next to him, Fang Senyan sighed very helplessly, but immediately thought of the scene where those guys with high charisma value were deflated in front of this Mr. Goblin, and immediately felt refreshed and happy. So he immediately took out another "letter of recommendation" that he had prepared a long time ago.
"Time is money, Mr. Infinit, I've always thought so, so I'm willing to compensate you for the time you just delayed."
"Reparations?" When Infinit heard these two words, his two long pointed ears suddenly flashed twice, and Fang Senyan could even clearly see that the fluff on the ears of this high-ranking goblin gentleman stood up one by one.
"Yes, that's my heartfelt compensation." Fang Senyan handed over a ten-pound bill.
Mr. Infinit's face was finally kinder, but he continued to go about his business and did not say much. Fang Senyan gritted his teeth, drew a 50 pound (note: 50 pounds is the largest currency denomination in the United Kingdom, just like the largest denomination of China's current currency = 100 yuan) and handed it over.
This moment was immediate, Infinit immediately walked down with a smile on his face, picked up the paper cup next to him and poured a glass of water, although Fang Senyan was a little thirsty, but looking at the paper cup with the surname of one person who didn't know how many people he had received and the turbid liquid inside, he categorically chose to ignore it. But I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart: Brother, a blood cow with 31 points of physical strength, finally enjoyed the treatment of 31 points of charm!
"Time is money! My friend, you really say that to the bottom of my heart! Since our relationship is so cordial and friendly, then I won't hide it, there was a recent incident that made me anxious and my skin faded! ”
Speaking of this, Infinit waved her hands excitedly:
"Oh my God, I really have never experienced anything like this, my skin has always been a healthy green from lactation to adolescence and adulthood, and my dear Martha is fascinated by my complexion. But now, my skin is starting to show noticeable color loss, which means that the envy, jealousy, and even sexual encounters of others will be far away from me! So lately I have been gritting my teeth and spending three shillings to consult my father about this issue......."
Saying this, the little eyes of the respected Mr. Infinit glanced around, and lowered his voice:
"He told me that the livers of the strong centaurs might do the trick. But be sure to be fresh, fresh! The kind of blood on the steaming heat that hasn't yet coagulated! ”
Fang Senyan happened to see the introduction of the horseman during the afternoon wandering, and of course there were some relevant regulations, so he immediately said in embarrassment:
"But, Mr. Infinit, although my knowledge is still very shallow, I seem to have heard that centaurs seem to be under the protection of the Ministry of Magic."
Infinit squeezed her little eyes and said mysteriously:
"My friend, the point of a rule is that it can be broken."
Fang Senyan carefully recalled the information and clues provided in the Symbiosis Society, probably because everyone was unwilling to deal with this extremely greedy goblindo, so the introduction and tasks of this Mr. Infinit were the briefest. Therefore, there is no relevant description and detailed information about the task he received at this time, but Fang Senyan is also very adaptable:
"Well, Mr. Infinit, given our friendship, I'm sure I'll help you, but gold on it, there's no way you're going to make me look for this damn creature throughout the kingdom of Great Britain, and besides, I should get some details of this monster even if I want your skin to get that charming green color back as soon as possible."
The corners of Infinit's mouth widened, he was very happy to see his interests being considered in front of him everywhere, but the index finger and thumb of his left hand still began to rub instinctively, Fang Senyan cursed secretly in his heart, knowing that he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, Suo took out the remaining ordinary pounds on his body and stuffed them into his hand - anyway, there are people in the team who are willing to exchange the pounds of this world for universal points.
There is no doubt that Fang Senyan's action once again won a lot of favor from Infinit, this creature that completely ignored the "charm" even took the initiative to drag a stool for Fang Senyan to sit down, and its face was almost like a brilliant chrysanthemum, and it said in a lower voice:
"Inside 13 Tumbledown Alley, you're sure to find what you're looking for. They'll ask you for a password, and you'll be fine with shiny coins. "Tumbledown Alley? Fang Senyan had also been there, as one of the four major shops to complete the Enthusiast's quest: the Bogin-Bock Magic Shop was located in Tumbledown Alley. This is where dark wizards come from, and shrunken human heads, giant black spiders, snakes, withered human hands, bones, and other things are common commodities there. However, it is also full of shoddy and shoddy products, fakes, and it is said that one of the unlucky children in the team paid a high price for a wand that claimed to increase the power of skills by 100%, but it turned out to be an ordinary baton......
However, Fang Senyan remembered very well that because Europeans were quite taboo about the number thirteen, there didn't seem to be a number thirteen even in places like Tumbledown Alley, where dark wizards were rampant. However, looking at Infinit's expression, it is very positive, and although the goblins are famous for their greed, their credit for doing things with money is still very good. Therefore, after Fang Senyan walked out of Gringotts, he rushed directly to Tumbledown Alley.
During the day, the Tumbledown Alley is very deserted, and after nightfall, it is even more scattered, with only a few lonely lamps as green as fireflies, and a few miserable coughs and the cries of night owls from time to time, it is like being in a cemetery. Fang Senyan was originally very bold, and when he walked here, he couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart - there were really those ghosts and ghosts in this world. After finally walking to the end of Tumbledown Alley, you can see that the No. 12 shop is a place that sells bone combs and horse-head pianos, and the door is closed at this time, only a skeletal hand on the doorknob is holding a sign that says "close" and shaking it up and down, next to it is a vacant lot, where is No. 13?
