Like a country bumpkin, Sheyan surveyed his surroundings for a long time. After confirming that there were no more fees, he passed through the second silver door and entered a spacious marble hall. There were about ten large and thick marble pillars in the hall. They looked very luxurious and high-end. An eye would appear on the pillar from time to time, blinking and then disappearing. If anyone dared to steal here, they would obviously be caught red-handed.
Roughly a hundred goblins were seated behind a beech wood counter, awaiting the arrival of customers. Because there weren't many customers at this time, some were eating biscuits in the shape of little animals, some were using a magnifying glass to examine the flaws of certain gems, and some were idly tapping on the scales in front of them. These green skinned little brats had an unspeakable shrewdness in their eyes.
Sheyan's objective was to find the manager of Gringotts, his name was Infinite Franc. Fortunately, this guy wanted to display his unique identity, he specially wore a red tuxedo with a green bow tie and sat at a conspicuous spot. He even had a proud little moustache. Sheyan considered that he would have to interact with this guy for a long time in the future. Of course, the most important thing was his pitiful charm. Thus, he activated his' insight 'ability on this goblin.

Description: Goblins are a type of greedy and intelligent creatures. They seek nothing but profit, but most of them are trustworthy. They possess outstanding intelligence in business and mechanics. As long as one is willing to fork out money, they will work for anyone.
Some gifted goblins can even grasp some high level arcane abilities. However, they will usually use this ability to protect their own wealth.
What is worth noting is, goblins are one of the few races in the nightmare world that won't be affected by the 'charm' attribute. The only thing that can affect their senses and goodwill is one thing, and that is money.
Looking at this series of introductions, a feeling of pleasant surprise welled up in his heart. The reason why other contestants weren't willing to interact with these goblins wasn't because of the exorbitant expenditure, but because charm wouldn't work on them. Hence, they wouldn't be able to obtain any additional benefits. However, for a trash like him whose charm was far below average, what did it matter? If it was ineffective, then so be it. At most, they would just spend the same amount of money!
"Mr Infinite, I'm sorry to disturb your work." Sheyan walked towards the goblin and spoke politely. However, this Mr Infinite seemed to have no intention of paying attention to him.
However, Sheyan was already prepared for this.
"This is the letter of introduction given to me by Mr. Isis at the door."
Infinite lifted his green eyelids from behind the desk, and continued to pick up the quill.
"Come tomorrow morning at 7: 59 and 6 seconds. Oh! Oh my God, anyone who isn't punctual will not be respected. "
Then in front of Sheyan, Infinite tossed the recommendation letter into the nearby trash bin. Sheyan helplessly sighed, but immediately recalled the scene of those high charisma fellows being humiliated in front of this goblin mister. Instantly, he felt refreshed and his mood became carefree. Hence, he immediately took out another 'letter of recommendation' he had prepared earlier.
"Time is money, Mr Infinite, I've always believed so. Therefore, for delaying your time, I'm willing to use the most practical method to compensate."
"Compensation?" When Infinite heard these two words, his two long pointed ears flickered. Sheyan could clearly see the fine hairs on the ears of this esteemed goblin standing up.
"Yes, this is my sincere compensation." Sheyan handed over a 10 pound note.
Mr Infinite's expression finally became more amiable, but he continued to busy himself without speaking much. Sheyan clenched his teeth, drawing out a 50 pound note. (Note: 50 pounds is the largest denomination in the UK, just like China's largest denomination is 100 dollars) and handed it over.
Instantly, Infinite's face was brimming with smiles as he walked over. Picking up a disposable paper cup, he poured a cup of water. Although Sheyan was a little thirsty, looking at that cup filled with murky liquid, he resolutely chose to ignore it. But in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. This 31 points physique HP bull has finally enjoyed the treatment of 31 points of charm!
"Time is money! My friend, your words have really touched the depths of my heart! Since our relationship is so close and friendly, then I shall not hide it. Recently, something happened that made me badly battered, my skin is fading! "
Speaking till here, Infinite agitatedly waved both his hands.
"Heavens, I swear with gold coins, I have never experienced such a thing before. From breastfeeding to puberty to adulthood, my skin has always been a healthy green. My dear Martha was so infatuated with my skin color that she was unable to extricate herself. But now, my skin is showing signs of fading. This signifies that the envy, jealousy and even lust of others have left me! Thus, I could only grit my teeth and spend 3 shillings to consult my father about this problem ….. "
Speaking till here, the respectable Mr Infinite's small eyes glanced around, lowering his voice.
"He told me that the liver of a strong centaur may be of some use. But it must be fresh, fresh! That kind of steaming hot blood that hasn't even congealed yet! "
Sheyan coincidentally saw the introduction of centaurs during his afternoon stroll, of course there were some related regulations. He immediately replied awkwardly.
"But, Mr Infinite, although my knowledge is still shallow, but I seem to have heard that centaurs are under the protection of the Ministry of Magic."
Infinite squinted his beady eyes, as he mysteriously replied.
"My friend, the reason for the existence of rules is because they can be broken."
Sheyan carefully recalled the information and clues provided by the Symbiosis sect. Probably because no one was willing to interact with this incomparably perverted goblin, thus the information regarding this Mr Infinite's mission was extremely simple. Thus, there wasn't any detailed information regarding his current mission. However, Sheyan's ability to adapt was very strong.
"Alright, Mr Infinite, in view of our friendship, I will definitely help you. But for the sake of gold coins, you can't possibly allow me to search the entire British kingdom for this damned creature. Apart from that, for your skin to quickly recover that perverted green colour, I should at least obtain some detailed information about this creature."
Infinite's lips curled into a smile, he was very happy to see his own benefits being considered. However, his left hand's index finger and thumb started to rub together. Sheyan cursed in his heart, he knew that he wouldn't be able to catch the wolf without sacrificing the child. He simply took out his remaining pound sterling and stuffed it into his hands. Anyway, there were people in the party who were willing to exchange pound sterling for utility points.
Without a doubt, Sheyan's actions once again earned Infinite's goodwill. This creature that completely disregarded 'charm' even took the initiative to drag out a chair for Sheyan to sit on. His face could be described as an incomparably splendid chrysanthemum blossoming. He then lowered his voice and asked.
"Inside Overturn alley no.13, you will definitely find what you are looking for. They will ask you for a password, you just have to reply with sparkling gold coins. " “
Overturn alley? Sheyan had been there before, because one of the 4 major shops to complete the warm-hearted mission, Borgin – Borgin magic shop, was located in Overturn alley. This was the place where dark magicians roamed about. Shrivelled human heads, gigantic black spiders, snakes, withered human hands, skeletons and other items were commonly seen there. However, it was also filled with shoddy products and fakes. It was said that there was an unlucky kid in the party who spent a high price to buy a magic wand that could increase the power of his skills by 100%, but it turned out to be an ordinary baton … …
However, Sheyan remembered very clearly, because the europeans were extremely wary of the number 13, even in Overturn alley where dark magicians roamed, there wasn't a number 13. But looking at Infinite's expression, he was extremely certain. Furthermore, even though goblins were notorious for roaming the world, but when it came to doing things for money, they were exceptionally trustworthy. Therefore, after Sheyan left Gringotts, he directly rushed towards Overturn alley.
During the day, Overturn alley was extremely deserted, and when night fell, it was even more desolate. There were only a few flickering green lights, and occasionally there would be miserable coughs and cries of owls. It was simply like a graveyard. Sheyan was originally very courageous, but when he reached this place, his heart couldn't help but beat like a drum. In this world, there were indeed ghosts and spirits. Finally, without any mishaps, he reached the end of Overturn alley. He could see shop no.12, a place that sold human bone combs and horse head harps. Right now, the door was tightly shut, only a skeletal hand holding onto a 'CLOSED' sign was swaying up and down. Beside it was an astonishingly empty plot of land. Where did this number 13 come from?
