While Sheyan was puzzled, he suddenly noticed a person popping out from the space beside him! Following that, a light shone out, and he could faintly hear a voice. That person cautiously took a few steps forward, and suddenly laughed.
"Seaman, you're here too." “
Sheyan tilted his head to the side to take a look under the light and smiled.
"Hey, Jack, what a coincidence." “
So this person was shockingly the first time Sheyan entered the nightmare realm, that bearded man he met – the self proclaimed Jack the Ripper. At this moment, his face was filled with joy as he walked out, obviously he had reaped many benefits. Sheyan was also busy trying to unravel the secret of Overturn alley no.13, he hurriedly greeted him and rushed forward. Instantly, he discovered the mystery within.
Actually, this' empty land 'was a desolate ruin, but in reality, there was a well concealed trap door. Bending down and pulling on the handle, one could flip open a passageway that led downwards. The passageway emitted a sliver of light, and he reckoned that there should be some magical concealment placed around the ruins during the day, which would only be removed at night. Thus, it was extremely secretive.
Sheyan followed the stairs downwards, and was greeted with a warm smell of alcohol, mixed with the smell of blood and leather. Shockingly, a large hall appeared in front of him. The hall was separated into two halves by a horizontal iron fence. On the opposite side of the iron fence was a long row of counters, looking somewhat like a modern day bank. Sheyan's eyes flashed as he stared at Sheyan. Sheyan stared at the two halves of the hall. Inside, sat a few arrogant men wearing leather armour. But everyone seemed to have some sort of disability. The decorations in the hall were mainly swords, blades and broken shields. One could even see cow skulls and deer skulls.
The signboard of the hall was made into a cow skull, but the name on it was very weird.
"London Meat Pool Overturn Alley Branch"
"Below, there was a small line of words: Deals in rare leather, fresh innards, young birds, eggs."
Seeing this, Sheyan instantly understood. This place should be the headquarters of those poachers. Actually, even in the magical world, such a grey industry definitely existed. The profit chain was linked to one another, and probably densely covered the entire magical world.
Take the representative of justice, Dumbledore, for example. When he cast magic, were there no contraband items in his casting materials? Could it be that Hagrid obtained the dragon egg through legitimate means? Even the little Harry Potter couldn't avoid having dealings with it. His pet, the white snow owl Hedwig, couldn't possibly have escaped from a farm. Furthermore, that magic wand which could be considered a huge treasure, had the existence of a phoenix feather. According to the introduction, the materials used to craft the wand included the heart of a dragon, the hair of a charming child, the fur of a unicorn, the tail feathers of a night stallion, and so on. It was hard to imagine that these creatures would willingly offer up their organs to the adepts just to make their spells more powerful.
After entering, Sheyan was stopped by someone. It was a burly man with a face full of hardships. One could see a deep scar extending from his neck all the way to his collar. His words were stiff and carried a hint of threat.
"Password sir, otherwise please turn 180 degrees and leave by yourself, or be carried out by us."
"Glittering gold coins." Sheyan laughed. That burly man's face immediately exposed a strange expression, like a starving man who was enjoying himself to his heart's content, only to realize he had swallowed a few flies. Obviously, Mr Infinite did not leave a good impression on the organization. But that burly man still stepped aside, snappily pointing to an empty window at the side.
Sheyan directly walked over, sitting down on an old high stool, bluntly saying.
"I need detailed information on the centaurs, it is best if it includes their attacking methods, weaknesses and distribution areas."
The person behind the iron fence replied with an "Oh", he couldn't help but to size up Sheyan. Seeing his swift and fierce stature, his actions and speech were also nimble, he continued.
"Although this is a little excessive, but if you don't have the ability, finding the centaurs will only be an additional dish for their dinner." “
Sheyan laughed and replied.
"Believe me, I'm not tired of living." “
The person inside didn't say anything else.
"30 pounds, you will obtain what you want." “
Sheyan sighed again, he still had the 50 magical pound note he plundered from Qiao Gun, but that item could be exchanged for utility points. At this moment, he had no choice but to use it to break the bank, thus he could only pass the note over.
The person inside then passed over a small book and change. Sheyan flipped through it, the details of the centaurs were recorded.
Race: Humanoid
Height: 2-3 metres
Characteristics: Has a human head, body and limbs similar to a horse's, the colour of a horse's body can be varied.
Hobby: Purple alfalfa roasted meat
Habits: Centaurs are very intelligent, they can speak human language, but they maintain a strong contempt towards humans. Once attacked, they will display a strong desire for revenge.
Relationship with humans: Centaurs with brown and white coloured bodies are usually friendly to humans, even if they are unwilling to interact with humans, they will not cause any harm. But there are a small number of black and grey centaurs that are filled with enmity towards humans, they will initiate an attack. Many missing mountaineers and backpackers in Europe were harmed by these black centaurs.
Lifestyle: They live in groups of 10 to 50. But because centaurs are omnivorous animals, they will leave the group to hunt.
Abilities: Under normal circumstances, brown and white centaurs are proficient in magic, magic healing, divination, and astronomy. On the other hand, the black and gray centaurs were excellent spear throwers. They were also able to cast some basic healing spells and black magic, but they weren't proficient in them.
Weakness: Centaurs usually have low intelligence (low MP), thus they lack the ability to engage in a prolonged battle. Under normal circumstances, centaurs will only carry 3-5 spears. Once they miss their spears, they will fall into a predicament of fighting bare-handed.
Precautions: Centaurs have immense strength in their front and back hooves, once they kick, the impact will be immense. Thus, it is best to maintain a sideways attack. Centaurs have high intelligence, once they realize they are no match, they will flee. If possible, it is best to attack their legs to immobilize them.
Distribution: Glasgow, Yorkshire (black and grey centaurs)
Distribution: Taihe valley, Orkney forbidden forest (brown and white centaurs)
Looking at this list of information, Sheyan already had a plan in his heart. As he was about to leave, the burly man from before blocked him and said.
"Since you said the password 'Glittering Gold Coin', then you must have been introduced by that stingy Green Dwarf?"
Sheyan helplessly shrugged his shoulders, he laughed and said.
"I still have something to ask of Mr Infinite."
That burly man ridiculed.
"As long as you are willing to pay, he will laugh happily if you call him that. I won't talk nonsense with you, what does that goblin want you to do?"
Sheyan slightly hesitated, thinking about the information he bought, this burly man would definitely be able to obtain it from his own people. Sheyan didn't hide anything and replied.
"He needs centaur liver."
"That idiot." The burly man spat on the floor and disdainfully said. "I won't hide it from you, our organisation is currently in urgent need of centaur leather. If you can obtain some, we will purchase them at a high price, what do you think?"
Sheyan's heart stirred, then he became overjoyed. Dealing with the goblin would cause him to lose a huge amount of money, but at the same time he would gain a chance to make up for it. He immediately asked.
"What price?"
That burly man replied.
"My name is John, if you are able to return alive with centaur leather, then directly come here to trade with me. White and brown centaur leather is the most expensive, 400 pounds a piece. Black and grey centaur leather is slightly lower, 200 pounds a piece."
Sheyan nodded, walking out, he turned back and pointed to the burly man.
"If I were you, then I would go and gather sufficient funds."
The burly man John was stunned, then he laughed heartily, but didn't say anything.
After Sheyan left no.13, he once again went to look for Infinite. Since he had found a source of income, he didn't mind spending his remaining 20 pounds. This time, he wanted to look for this goblin who was well informed to save time. Because centaurs were located in sparsely populated areas, Sheyan would need at least 2-3 days to travel back and forth, how could he still complete other missions? Therefore, the floo powder that could fly through the fireplace was the best choice.
This time, Infinite very straightforwardly agreed to Sheyan's request. Of course, this wasn't because he had a favorable impression of Sheyan, but it seemed like the 20 pounds of magic pounds was more useful. Furthermore, Sheyan could also use the floo powder to return, this period could at least save a huge amount of time.
Infinite even dispatched a house elf to follow Sheyan, to assist him in familiarizing himself with the terrain. Of course, it wouldn't be able to help him in battle. This fully demonstrated the true meaning of a rich goblin being able to buy good stuff. Although Sheyan was rather exhausted, he still directly used the floo powder to teleport back to Yorkshire.
