Fang Linyan pondered for a while. He felt that Dumbledore's favor was not worth it here. After all, he had already asked Elizabeth for help.
Although Dumbledore was powerful, he was only good at magic and finding male biological partners (Grindelwald was an out-and-out powerhouse).
But there were specializations in the industry. In terms of understanding animals, he was probably not as good as Robert's attainments and connections. Since Elizabeth had already made a move, why should he waste this favor?
Thinking of this, Fang Linyan thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, so he honestly told his needs and the current problems. Then he frankly said that he had asked Y 'lisabet for help. If there was trouble here, he would trouble Master Dumbledore.
However, after Fang Linyan finished speaking, Hag immediately frowned and shook his head, "Hag,
"This matter of yours is difficult to handle."
Fang Linyan's heart suddenly tightened because Hag was also an expert in this field. If Robert was still here, the 2 of them would probably be at the same level. If he said it was difficult, then he must have his own reasons.
So the goat immediately helped Fang Linyan to ask,
"Then what's going on?"
Hag said,
"Most of the giant eight-eyed spiders now live on Madagascar Island and the surrounding areas, but since last year, there has been a large-scale cooling phenomenon in the vicinity, directly causing a shrub called red plane tree to wither on a large scale."
"And the fruit of this red plane tree is one of the foods that the giant eight-eyed spider must swallow in large quantities before entering the estrus period. Without this thing, the giant eight-eyed spider will not enter the estrus period."
"This kind of thing is actually not a big deal. It will always happen once every 3 to 5 years. It will not affect the giant eight-eyed spider or the market. After all, this is a creature with strong reproductive power, but it is a big deal for you."
Fang Linyan frowned suddenly. This is a natural disaster! This is really troublesome.
Originally, this thing belonged to the worthless thing, so there was definitely no stock. Since the giant eight-eyed spider couldn't enter the estrus period, then where would the female spider lay eggs come from?
The spider silk that he wanted could only be produced by the female spider that laid eggs. Wasn't this stopping his good deed from the source?
Fang Linyan pondered for a moment and said,
"Is there any other habitat for the giant eight-eyed spider other than Madagascar?"
Hagar pondered for a moment.
"Giant Eight-eyed Spiders were first discovered near extinct volcanoes in Scandinavia, but as more and more people came here, the Giant Eight-eyed Spiders here have long been on the verge of extinction."
"Therefore, the spiders over there are scattered all over the place. Even if you deliberately look for them, you may not be able to find them, let alone find them. You can only use luck to describe it."
"More importantly, the Eight-eyed Giant Spider likes to live in caves and valleys. It is also a nocturnal creature. It is very difficult to track it down."
Fang Linyan said thoughtfully,
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Mr. Harg."
Hagar thought carefully for a while and then said, "That's right.
"How about this, I'll give you an address later. You can go to his place and give it a try. This person has a bad temper, but as far as I know, he controls at least 50% of the market's supply of spider silk."
"According to my experience, if you want to speculate in a short period of time and control 50% of the supply on the market, you can do this as long as you have money."
"But this guy named Parkinson has controlled this market for 7 years. Therefore, I think he has at least grasped the whereabouts of more than 20 giant eight-eyed spiders, and he has tried to protect and raise them."
"You have to know that many people have tried to raise magical creatures like the Eight-eyed Giant Spiders, but all of their attempts ended in failure. Hence, I feel that this fella Parkinson still has some standards. I can't guarantee that you will get the information you want from him, but if he can't give you any specific suggestions, then there's nothing I can do," said Lin Li.
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"I'm already very grateful to Mr. Harg for getting such critical information."
Harg chuckled and said,
"This is really nothing."
Fang Linyan took a deep breath, then he stood up and said,
"My time is a little tight, so I won't stay here any longer. Goat, you wait here for the news. If there's anything, just send me a message directly. Can Mr. Harg send me out?"
Harg nodded and smiled,
"Of course, this is no problem."
***
About 10 minutes later,
Fang Linyan shook his head and got out of a fireplace.
Then he found that this was a room on the 3rd floor. This node didn't seem to be a conventional node. Few people used it, so the whole house was abandoned.
There was an unpleasant musty smell floating in the air. Not only that, when Fang Linyan was about to go downstairs, he heard a series of gunshots from outside. This made him realize that this was a world where technology and magic coexisted.
Naturally, Fang Linyan came to the window and looked at the scene in the distance. He found that most of the buildings here were dilapidated and had long decayed. Under the setting sun, the dilapidated walls and tiles were set off with a desolate mood.
The low courtyards of the English style structure were distributed in every corner of sight. The railings beside the sidewalk were naturally rusty, revealing the vicissitudes of life. Not only that, the street graffiti that could be seen everywhere on the ground and walls were also mainly bloody and horrifying.
Moreover, the town was overgrown with weeds. The weeds here grew very quickly because no one took care of them. Even the ground road could not escape the destruction of the weeds. A lot of it was covered. Many areas could not be used normally.
The billboards erected high on the side of the street were also covered with dense bullet holes. Several billboards had been hit until they were on the verge of collapse. The broken iron plates swayed and creaked in the wind.
The gunshots came from here. Five or six bikers on motorcycles were besieging a sedan. However, the sedan had obviously been modified to strengthen the bulletproof design. There were also gunmen firing back from the side windows, so the two sides were also engaged in a fierce battle.
To be honest, Fang Linyan's eyes lit up after seeing this scene, then he quickly approached the battlefield.
When he arrived there, he found that the car had lost control and crashed into the canal next to it. However, 2 of the motorcycles besieging the car were also destroyed. The parts fell all over the ground while emitting black smoke.
The remaining 3 motorcycle gang members approached the car and directly grabbed the person with bleeding head inside. They were very ruthless. After catching a person, they simply asked a few questions, then they killed him with 2 shots.
Next, they went to ask another person, but this person's bones were very tough. He directly spat at their faces.
Needless to say, this unlucky guy also ended up with a headshot.
Just when the third person was dragged out and was about to be shot to death, a gentle voice suddenly came from the side,
"Sorry, I have to disturb you because I think my business is more important now."
A motorcycle gang member with a lip ring and a colorful mohawk turned his head and saw a smiling young man.
This motorcycle gang member named David took a deep breath, then he blew out the smoke from his nostrils. He pointed his gun at the young man and raised it!
Because he hated this person very much, hated the sunshine on this guy, hated the cleanliness on this guy, hated the cheerfulness and health of this guy, and the likable smile!
These things were all what he once owned, and he abandoned them personally …
When he abandoned them at that time, he really abandoned them. But now, this guy began to regret it, but those things that seemed to be within his reach really couldn't come back.
However, at the moment of the gunshot, David's pupils suddenly shrank because the young man disappeared from his sight.
Then he felt that his whole body was spinning all of a sudden! Then he began to lose consciousness …
At this time, Fang Linyan, who appeared beside David, smiled and said to the rest,
"Now, I want to ask you to do me a favor. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
***
Forty minutes later, a motorcycle gang member with a pale face slowed down slowly on the road with Fang Linyan, and finally stopped the motorcycle in front of a shabby bar.
The name of the bar was "Angry Engine".
This place seemed to be a little more lively. There were a few pedestrians on the street, but the eyes of these people were not friendly. If you looked at them more, you would immediately stare back without hesitation.
If you still refused to move your eyes away, then it might be a competition to see who could take out the gun faster.
At this time, Fang Linyan already knew that this was an abandoned industrial area called the Schno District. This place was famous for minerals. As the minerals were mined out, of course, it declined to be a mining area.
Fang Linyan walked into the bar, and a pungent smell came from the front. It was the smell of body odor, smoke, alcohol, and vomit mixed together. It almost suffocated him.
A black uncle who looked very strong was quarreling with another person. There were many words that started with F in their words.
At the end of the quarrel, the black uncle suddenly launched an attack. He sent the person in front of him flying with an uppercut. The person flipped 180 degrees in the air and fell heavily to the ground, then he said coldly,
"Shut up."
The person who was sent flying seemed to have fainted directly in the air. How could he still speak?
The people in the bar seemed to be used to this kind of thing happening often. Instead, someone whistled,
"So cool!"
"One more …"
At this time, the black uncle limped towards Fang Linyan at the door. At this time, it could be seen that he was a cripple. He put on an electric prosthesis, then he said to Fang Linyan,
"Kid … are you the legendary spanner? Damn, I seem to have heard of your name. What do you want to drink? "
Fang Linyan shrugged and said,
"The guy who won against you four times in a row asked me to come to you. He told me to say this when I see you."
The black uncle immediately rolled his eyes,
“OH，SHIT！ That damned big dumb bear, Harg, he kept telling everyone about this! Damn it, why did I believe him back then — Okay, okay, do me a favor first. Help me throw this guy out, then clean this place. "
Fang Linyan shrugged, looked around, and found that there were only 2 guests in the bar, so he started to help.
After removing at least half a truck of garbage from this small bar, the place finally looked brand new. Then, he used almost 2 bottles of air freshener to make the bar habitable again.
Looking at the results of Fang Linyan's labor, the black uncle Parkinson nodded with satisfaction. He slapped Fang Linyan's butt — it seemed that he liked to use this way of greeting — then he came to the bar and poured a glass of wine for Fang Linyan.
"Okay, kid, thank you for your help. Now you can tell me why you are here."
Fang Linyan told his purpose of coming in detail. Bo Jinsen nodded and said,
"Wow, I got it. It's a wise choice for you to come to me! Because the person standing in front of you is the person who knows the eight-eyed giant spider best on this planet! Although your request is a little unique, I think I can still think of a way. "
Fang Linyan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. As he was about to nod and speak, Parkinson said,
"However, business is business. Kid, I'm not a charity organization. I won't feed a freeloader. If you want my help, you either have to give me money or … You see, I'm still short of manpower here. I think you're doing a good job …"
Fang Linyan rolled his eyes and said,
"I choose to pay."
Parkinson sighed in disappointment. Obviously, he was a little disappointed that Fang Linyan didn't choose to work, but he still said,
"Okay, okay, first of all, the information fee is 20 gold coins. Can you afford it?"
Fang Linyan shrugged, then he simply took out the money and said,
"When can I get the information?"
Parkinson said,
"If you want the information of the ordinary eight-eyed giant spider, then I can give it to you now, but what you want is the information of the usually worthless giant eight-eyed spider. Let me tell you, the giant eight-eyed spider with the sack will be extraordinarily irritable and ferocious! Do you know what this means? "
Fang Linyan pondered for a while and said,
"Extra workload, extra risks, and of course, extra money!"
Parkinson nodded and said,
"Yes, now you go and take a rest. I have to make a call to understand the situation first."
Then Parkinson took him to a room on the second floor of the bar. To be honest, the living conditions here were much better than Fang Linyan imagined. The room was at least 30 or 40 square meters, and it was fully furnished. It was also quite clean.
