The Ultimate Secret of Evolution! The Truth Deep Inside Gringotts! Chapter 36: The Centaur Disaster
Chapter 36 The Disaster of the Centaurs
Fang Senyan was just wondering when he suddenly saw a person suddenly appear in the space next to him! Then there was light coming out, and he could vaguely hear the sound of talking. The man took a few steps forward cautiously, but suddenly smiled:
"Sailor, you are here too."
Fang Senyan looked sideways in the light and smiled:
"Hey, Jack, what a coincidence?"
It turned out that this person was the bearded Jack who called himself the Ripper that Fang Senyan met when he first entered the nightmare space. At this time, he looked happy and walked out, obviously he had gained a lot of benefits. Fang Senyan was also busy trying to figure out the secret of No. 13 Knockturn Alley, so he hurriedly said hello and rushed forward, and immediately discovered the mystery.
It turned out that this "empty land" was a very desolate ruin on the surface, but in fact there was a well-covered trap door on it. If you bend down and hold the handrail and pull it, you can flip out a passage going down. There was a ray of light in the passage, and it was estimated that there would be some magic tricks on the ruins outside during the day, which would be removed at night, so it was very secretive.
Fang Senyan bent down and walked along the downward stairs, and was greeted by a hot smell of wine, as well as a mixture of blood and leather. A hall suddenly appeared in front of him, with noisy sounds inside. The hall was divided into two halves by a row of horizontal iron fences. On the opposite side of the iron fence was a long row of counters, which looked quite like a modern bank. Sitting inside were some unruly men wearing leather armor. But almost everyone was disabled. The decorations in the hall were mostly knives, swords, and broken shields, and you could also see the cut off skulls of cows and deer.
The signboard in the hall was also made into the shape of a cow skull, but the name on it was very strange:
"London Meat Joint Venture Knockturn Alley Branch"
"There is also a line of small words below: Also engaged in various rare leathers, fresh offal, young birds and animals, eggs."
Seeing this, Fang Senyan immediately understood that this place should be the headquarters of the poaching organization. In fact, even in the magic world, there must be such a gray industry. The profit chain is linked one by one, and I am afraid that it has long been densely covered in the entire magic world.
Take the representative of justice, the great wizard Dumbledore, for example. When he cast magic, were there no contraband in the materials used in his spells? Did Hagrid get the dragon egg through legitimate means? Even the little Harry Potter had to deal with it. His pet white snow owl Hedwig could not have run away from the breeding farm, and the wand that could be called a killer weapon even had phoenix feathers. According to the introduction, the materials for making magic wands include dragon tendons, veela hair, unicorn hair and thestral tail feathers. It is hard to imagine that these creatures would actively compete to offer their organs to make the wizard's spell more powerful...
Fang Senyan was stopped by someone after entering here. This was a big man with a heavy face. A deep scar could be seen extending from the neck to the end of the collar. His words were stiff and threatening:
"Command, sir, otherwise please turn 180 degrees and leave or be carried out by us."
"Shining gold coins." Fang Senyan smiled. The big man immediately showed a very strange look on his face, just like a hungry person who was feasting on wine and meat, but found that he had swallowed a few flies. Obviously, Mr. Infinite did not leave a good impression on this organization. However, the big man still made way and pointed to an empty window next to him unhappily.
Fang Senyan walked over, sat down on the old high stool, and said straightforwardly:
"I need detailed information about the centaurs, preferably with their means of attack, weaknesses, and distribution areas."
The person inside the iron fence said "Oh", and couldn't help but look at Fang Senyan a few times. Seeing that he was quite sturdy, and his actions and words were also sharp, he said:
"Although it's a bit too much to say this, if you don't have enough ability, looking for the centaurs will only add a dish to their dinner."
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"Believe me, I'm not tired of living yet."
The person inside didn't say much:
"Thirty pounds, you will get what you want."
Fang Senyan sighed again. He still had a fifty magic pound note that he had snatched from the crowbar, but this thing could be exchanged for common points. At this time, he had to use it to make money, so he could only hand over this note.
The person inside then handed out a small booklet and some change. Sheyan flipped through it and saw the detailed information of the centaurs:
Centaurs
Race: Humanoid
Height: 2m to 3m
Features: They have a human head, but their torso and limbs are the same as a horse's. The color of the horse's body can vary.
Hobby: Purple alfalfa, barbecue
Habits: Centaurs are very smart and can speak human language, but they have a strong contempt for humans. Once attacked, they often show a strong desire for revenge.
Relationship with humans: Horses with brown/white body colors tend to be friendly to humans. Even if they are unwilling to come into contact with humans, they will not cause harm to them. However, there are also a small number of black/gray horse people who are hostile to humans and will often initiate active attacks when encountering them. Many climbers and travel companions who have disappeared in Europe were harmed by black horse people.
Lifestyle: They live in groups, usually ranging from ten to fifty. However, because centaurs are omnivorous animals, they will also leave the group to hunt.
Abilities: Typically, brown/white centaurs are proficient in magic and proficient in magical healing, divination, and astronomy. The black/grey horsemen are excellent spear throwers and can also perform some basic healing and black magic, but they are not linked to mastery.
Weaknesses: The intelligence of horsemen is usually not high (less mp), so they lack the ability to fight for a long time. Usually, horsemen only carry three to five spears. Once the spears are thrown empty, they will fall into unarmed fighting. Dilemma.
Note: Both the front hooves and the hind hooves of a horseman are extremely powerful, and once kicked, they are extremely powerful. So it's best to keep attacking from the side. Horse people are extremely intelligent and will inevitably run away once they find themselves outnumbered. If possible, it is best to attack their legs first to make them lose their ability to move.
Distribution area: Glasgow Yorkshire (black/grey horse people)
Distribution area: Taihe Valley, Orkney, Forbidden Forest (brown/white centaurs)
Looking at this series of information, Sheyan already had a plan in mind. When he left the door, the big man from before stopped him and said:
"Since you said the password of shining gold coins, you should have been introduced by that stingy green dwarf?"
Sheyan shrugged helplessly and said with a smile:
"I still have something to ask Mr. Infinit."
The big man said sarcastically:
"As long as you're willing to give me money, if you call it that in person, it will laugh happily and stop talking nonsense to you. What does that goblin want you to do?"
Sheyan hesitated for a moment, then thought about what information he had purchased. This big man could always collect it from his own people, so he said without hiding anything:
"He needs a centaur's liver."
"This idiot." The big man spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "I won't hide it from you. The organization is in urgent need of a batch of centaur leather. If you can get some, you will buy it at a high price. What do you think? "
Fang Senyan's heart skipped a beat, and then he was overjoyed. It turned out that dealing with goblins would lead to a loss of a lot of money, but at the same time he would also get a chance to make amends. He immediately said:
"what price?"
The big man said:
"My name is John. If you can come back alive and still bring the centaur skin, then come directly here to trade with me. The white/brown centaur skin is the most expensive, four hundred pounds each, and the black/gray centaur skin is the most expensive. It’s lower, two hundred per ticket.”
Fang Senyan nodded, walked out, turned back and pointed at the big man and said:
"If I were you, I'd be raising enough money right now."
The big man John was stunned, laughed, but said nothing.
After Sheyan left No. 13, he went to look for Infinite again. Now that he had found a way to make money, it didn't matter if he spent the only twenty pounds he had left. This time he went there, but he wanted to find this well-informed goblin to save time, because the centaurs were located in sparsely populated areas, and Sheyan would have spent at least two or three days on the road. , do you still need to do the other tasks? Therefore, floo powder that can fly through the fireplace is the best choice at this time.
This time, Infinite readily agreed to Fang Sheyan's request. Of course, this was not because he had a particularly favorable impression of Fang Sheyan. It seemed that the twenty magic pounds were more useful. And when returning, Sheyan can also use Floo powder to return, which at least saves a lot of time during this period.
Infinit even sent a house elf to follow Sheyan there to help him familiarize himself with the terrain. Of course, fighting would not be able to help him in the slightest. It fully reflects the true meaning that goblins can buy good goods if they have money. Although Sheyan was quite tired at this time, he still used Floo powder to teleport directly to Yorkshire.
